We Owe Them
Most Americans will have to blink
hard to realize that 15 years have
paired since the World War II shoot-
g. stepped in Europe.
e are now farther from that fight-
inir than older Americans wel*te from
f^W5*War I when Franklin D. Itoose-
velflook office as president in March,
1933,
There are some 40 million more
Americans than there were on VE-day
in 1945. In many places the face of
the nation has almost been made over.
Millions of new homes stretch the lim-
its of our urban areas to constantly
wider dimensions. N e w factories
abounii New York City in 15 years
has put up more office buildings than
all other cities combined.
At the end of World War II, with
automobile production cut off and fuel
supplies rationed, only 22 million pas-
senger cars traveled our streets a n d
highways. Today the total is close to
57 million.
All this growth and development
has given us great economic, social
and political problems. We grow un-
evenly. and lag in many essentials, es-
pecially schools, roads and hospitals.
Crime besets us in frightening volume.
But bigger than all these things is
the tragic fact that we have not had
the kind of peace we thought we earn-
ed in World War II. We live in a
shadowed half - light, with neither
peace nor war. In 1945 we talk-
ed bravely of going back to 20 billion
dollar budgets. Now defense alone
consumes 41 billion yearly.
In major areas we do not yet even
have peace treaties, and where we do
they are often honored in the breach.
We and our World War I aliles. the
Russians, stand opposite each other
building the weapons of disaster for
all mankind.
in World War II we crushed ty-
rants and militarists in Germany, Ja-
pan and Italy. But into the European
vacuum left by the German-ltalian
collapse rushed the Soviet Union. And
in Asia, Red China fashioned another
totalitarian triumph from the raw' ma-
terials of corruption and human dis-
content.
The war we fought to save free-
dom did indeed preserve it here and
ip many places. Yet 15 years after-
ward, half the world’s population
- moves in bondage behind the iron bar-
riers pf communism.
The 400,<}00 Americans who died
in World War II did not die in vain.
But every American today, from the
President to the youngest TcgUzens,
must work with energy ancF^purpose
to assure that this is always so — to
assure that we survive a greater threat
than the one they put down with their
lives.

MY LIFE. By Grand Adm. Erich Raeder. *
Unitecj plates Naval Institute $6.
Grand Adm. Raeder, chiwof the German
Navy for nearly 15 years, 10 of them under
Hitler, has written a sad and curious per-
sonal memoir. It is sad because Raeder, a
man of the highest personal and professional
competence, found himself in with the wrong
crowd. It is curious because so much is miss-
ing here that one might expect to find.
The high point of Raeder’s life seems to
have been the Battle of Jutland (or Skager-
rak, as the Germans called it) when, as a
rising young officer, he found himself in the
thick of battle with the vaunted British Grand
Fleet Ip 1916. On the bridge, as aide to
Adm. Hipper, he experienced the fulfillment
every tailor hopes for—engaging the enemy
in decisive battle.
After that came defeat for Germany,
revolution, and the arid years when he was
a sailor without a navy. The second part of
his story is the rebuilding of the German
Navy, beginning in 1928, the brief sucesses
early in World War (I, the loss of major
units in unsatisfactory, piecemeal engage-
ments, the break with Hitler and Raejer’s res-
ignation early in 1943. It was a frustrating
experience, capped with the personal tragedy
of finding himself in the dock at the Nurn-
berg trials, sentenced to life imprisonment
at the age of 70. Nine years later, in 1955,
he came out of Spandau, still strong in spirit
but broken in body, to return to Germany he
never knew.
It is a moving book, from which Raeder
emerges as a man of strong and upright char-
acter. Yet it is disappointing, for one catch-
es no strong glimpse of Hitler, Goering and
the other Nazis, with whom Raeder was so
long associated. As he tells it, Raeder lived
in another world, running the most correct
of naval wars and totally unaware of the
crimes around him.
Even the events of the naval war, and
particularly the submarine phase, are refer-
red to only in the most general outline. One
will not find here the full, inside story of
the naval war, as seen from the German
side. Rather the very personal story of a
trusted and trusting officer, perhaps a bit
naive, whose hopes for a glorious German
navy were sold out by his own associates.

THE ILE DE FRANCE. ’By Don Stan-
ford. Appleton-Century-Crofts. $4.95.
The 43,000-ton lie de France was launch-
ed at St. Xazaire, modest port on the low-ly-
ing Loire riverbank, in March, 1926. It was
a risky operation, and once launched, the
great ship threatened disastrously to run
away. But she was handsomely outfitted,
stocked with an ocean of liquor from cham-
pagne to vin ordinai.e and began her adven-
turous 32 years of ocean-going. A Japanese
shipyard is cutting her up for scrap.
Passengers were of all categories: The
famous actors, writers and singers, financiers,
stowaways, a blond blackmailer and card
sharks. In World War II she tied up in New
York, sailed off bravely to southern France,
and finally embarked on a historic career in
any and all the seas you can name. Among
the 400,000 soldiers she transported were
countless Americans. Some German prison-
ers plotted to seize her and didn't miss by
much. One of her finest hours was the An-
drea Doria rescue.
After the war, reconditioned, she resum-
ed her Atlantic crossings. Martinis can no
longer be bought for 25 cents, nor Scotch for
15 cents a glass; and oddly, as prices went up,
the elegance lost a little of its luster. But
you won’t forget her. Nobody remembers
which plane took him to Paris, but ships have
a personality and a character, and you could
shed a tear for the good old lie. You and
your friends and my friends and I crossed in
her. Now she does us one last service: She
makes a good book.

Not Vots This Year
BY PETER EDSON
Washington Correspondent
Nowspopor EntorprUo Amp.
Washington, (NEA) — Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has told
friends here that if the two presidential nominees this year are
Nixon-Kennedy, she will sit the campaign out and not vote.
People aren't as interested in politics as they normally are
in a presidential election year. This is the finding of Leslie
Biffle off Arkansas, Democratic secretary of the Senate during
the Truman and Roosevelt administrations, who perhaps is
possessed of the most sensitive political ears In the business.
Biffle frequently gets himself up-like a chicken buyer and
travels about ih a heat-up pickup truck — picking up political
savvy. His first trip this year was to northern West Virginia and
western Pennsylvania, heart of the soft coal area.
What interests the women most these days is world peace,
Bihble reports.
And what interests the men most is job security — the fear
of a layoff in coming months.
Real issues of this campaign may lie just beginning to em-
erge as Congress takes up a half-dozen controversial meusures.
They include:
Raise minimum wage to $1.25 an hour.
Provide board federal aid for education through school con-
struction and increased teachers’ salaries.
Make federal loans and grants to depressed areas suffer-
ing from severe unemployment.
Increase social security medical care for the aged.
Revise farm legislation.
Broaden housing programs, particularly on slum clearance
and low-cost rental housing.
Pass new farm legislation.
All those are issues which people can understand. They hit
the voters where they live.
Republican administration proposals on nil those programs
are unacceptable to the Democrat*. Democratic programs face
a veto.
But those are the issues on which the campaign may be
waged, after Congress makes its record and after the personal-
ity fights for the nominations are over.
Republican headquarters is giving enthusiastic publicity to
conflicts between Democratic presidential aspirants.
