Editorial HISS SIGNIFICANCE It's bad enough anytime and under any circumstance for a person to tell a lie. To lie under oath is an offense. I t is called perjury. I t is hard to understand .'how a person would or could do that. After a painstaking, ex­ haustive "and fact-finding trial Alger Hiss, one-time top-drawer adviser in the state department, and right-hand-man to the com­ mander-in-chief at Yalta and in other conferences, directing U. S. foreign policy by admission of all who know him—Alger Hiss has been found guilty of lying under oath. The significance of the whole affair is far front be­ ing negligible. It lays hare some important facts, chief of which are that Russia was the darling of our star-spangled heart, and whatever Russia wanted she got, usually hy paying for it. The re­ velations of the Hiss trial are a disgrace proving that the epoch in Which he swayed policies can not be considered lily-white. More fuel is now added to the flame of wrath about American dis­ loyalty and dishonor in that period, and .we predict there will be many more acts of duplicity uncovered. DON’T LAUGH AT CLEO Front pages the country over have told a startled world of the hardware diet Cleopatra, the Nile valley crocodile of the Cincinnati Zoo, had followed with Hollywood strictness. Surgeons scissored in­ to Cieo's innards and retrieved six pop bottles, 38 rocks and some marbles. Since the beginning of time strange things have happened along the Nile, not all of which do to print. The interesting thing about Cieo’s operation is that President Truman didn’t list it among the 20-odd (some of them very odd) “responsibilities” America owes —as if we didn’t owe enough without tacking on “responsibili- An archduke and a princess were married the other day but they are coming to USA to live.

The full Jineage is revealed without the omission of a- single sniff, and everybody’s goat, is got. Kids, Nannies, Billies, how many were going to St, Ive.;? The reason grandpa is not going to be crown­ ed king of the goat-eos is that while somebody wasn’t looking the old rascal would haul off and eat the crown! ONE DIRECTION An old horseman, explaining to an inquiring lady visitor at his stable why the tail of the “docked” horse took the position i t did, said, “Lady, when a horse’s tail is cut, there’s only direction for it to go—up!” That’s the way with prices right now. There seems to bo but one direction for them to go—up! Steel prices higher; coal, what there is of it, sky high and go­ ing higher; coffee about a dime a sip and railroad fares so high folks would walk if shoes didn’t cost so everlasting much, . . . up, up, up, up—that’s the direc­ tion. THE EYES HAVE IT Often older folk, clinging to memories of onc-room-school ed­ ucation, criticize modern meth­ ods used by schools. You hear them say that there is too much, folderol and too many frills in the present system. But one thing is highly approved hy ev­ erybody who knows about it— visual education. They state les­ sons more forcefully than they could he taught in any other way. We saw a list of titles of such films which included “The Story of Our Flag,” “The Li­ brary of Congress,” “Elephants,” “Finland,” and a half dozen oth­ ers. I t’s safe to say we older folk would learn a great deal from these pictures. REMEMBER HIM? Time was when the name Da­ vid Warfield brought a thrill to theater goers who considered him, as the world did, the great­ est of the great in “The Music Master.” Forgotten by the mul­ titu d e s who jampack movie pal­ aces today, he was 83 years old the other day. As a boy he ped­ dled theater programs. TURNING STONES Senator Taft has said he thinks he can win re-clection “if I leave no stone unturned.” He’s been going around Ohio turning stones, and explaining tha t the issue is whether “a free people want to run their own government or a dictatorial government which runs the people.*’ That theme makes good listening. And we’re listening, Senator. You can be sure of one thing, th a t whatever goes on in WDC there is politics back of it. i/iiijAHK TIME, Christian Sol- IVI diers,” is not a Christian hymn. The word is “Onward, Chris­ tian Soldiers!” The command was given by no less a person than Jesus himself: "Go and make dis­ ciples of all nations, baptizing them . . . teaching -......? them . . ” (Matt. M B k ' } 28:19, 20) Do you W S t * know some one in the church w h o says h e doesn’t believe i n mis­ sions? Such a man does no t t a k e Christ seriously. If you do believe in _ „ Christ t h e n his Dr. Foreman commands are for you to obey, not to ignore. •/ * • When Men Delay O P TO NOW, the church has been playing around with Jesus’ command. Very few denominations are actually putting any large amount of money or manpower into obeying Christ’s command to go into all the world. One fairly typical American de­ nomination contributed last year to all benevolences, that is to all causes not in their own local con­ gregations, the sum of §9,137,065. That sounds like a lot; but divided by the total number of members it boils down to $14.03 per member for the year, or less than five cents a day. And of course not all that big sum of five cents went to missions of any sort. Yet that denomination gives more per capita to missions than most others do. When a man who gives less than five cents a day to carry the good news of Christ into the wide world sings “Onward, Christian Sol­ diers!” or prays “Thy King­ dom come!” how much docs he mean it? Not a nickel’s worth! Or take the question of man­ power. This same denomination sends out as missionaries, every year, as many men and women as are sent by some denominations three times its size. And yet, even so, the total number of ordained ministers in that denomination who are foreign missionaries is only 4 per cent of their total num­ ber of ministers. “Go into all the world," said the p iaster. “Four per cent of us will,” we reply, “the rest of us will stay at home.” * * *; When Men Obey j t S A MATTER OF FACT, even the earliest church was slow to pay real attention to Christ’s command, Forward! M e n are strange creatures. And one of the strange tilings about us is that we often have to be scared into doing our duty. It toole the persecution set off by the death of Stephen to move the Christians in Jerusalem out along the roads south, north, east, any­ where to get away from the city of death. Everywhere they went, they told the story of Jesus. But at first it was all rather breathless and informal. “Why are you here?” one of these BP’s would be asked, as he was passing through Samaria or Antioch or Alexandria, per­ haps in the bread-line, perhaps looking for a place to work and settle down. “I’m a refugee from Jerusalem,” he would say. “But why?” “Well, I’m a Christian.” “What’s that?” So the story would be. told all over again, the good news about God’s: grace in Christ. So the church spread. Today, though an enormous part of the world’s pop­ ulation is still umvon, there are Christians in so many lands that the Bible—all or parts, of it—has had to be translated into more than one thousand different languages and dialects. • * Unto All Men O NE OF THE MOST interesting and surprising little books of recent years is called “They Found the Church There,” by H. P. Van Dusen. It is the dramatic story of how the American GI, to his great astonishment; found Christians in the most unexpected places. It is a tremendous mistake to think that the Christian re­ ligion is only for English-speak­ ing peoples, or for Europeans, or for white people. It began among people whom most read­ ers of this column would set down as “foreigners.” Christ can be as much at home in an igloo or a wigwam as he is in an American farmhouse “or in an efficiency apartment on the city boulevard. He comes to all men, and as Peter found out, the Lord is no respecter of persons. CLARENCE J. BROWN Writes W ith a Buekeve In Con <rress .After two weeks of “on and off” debate, the Senate last week voted 56 to 16 to repeal all taxes on oleomargarine. The bill ha'd previously been approved by the House last year. An attempt to tack a rider or amendment on the measure to repeal wartime ex­ cise taxes as well as the tax on . oleo was defeated 43 to 32. The measure now goes to the White House, where the president is ex­ pected to sign it, bringing an end to the legislative iyar which has raged between the dairy farmers "of the north and the cottonseed oil producers of the south for so many years. *— The Airphibian Washington motorists shied a- way in surprise from a new type vehicle which showed up on the capital city’s streets last week. I t was an “airphibian,” a com­ bination airplane and automobile, the invention of Robert Fulton Newton, Conn., descendant of the Robert Fulton who invented the steamboat. I t makes 110 miles per hour in the air and 46 miles per hour on the ground and car­ ries two passengers. Fulton flew to Washington to demonstrate his invention to officials of the de­ partment of commerce and civil Aeronautics authority. To Give Away1Feed Federal authorities have an­ nounced that Government own­ ed surplus potatoes will soon be given away free. Plans are understood to be underway for the free distribution of dried eggs, powdered milk, some meats, ‘ and other surplus foods now a part of the three and one-half billion dollars worth of food pro­ ducts purchased and owned by the federal government. South­ ern legislators are demanding the enactment of a bill fo r the bene­ fit of cotton producers at an es­ timated cost of from $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion. In the meantime farm prices continue their down­ ward trend while farm commodity surpluses grow. The Denfeld Affair When Admiral Louis Denfeld was suddenly discharged as chief of naval operations, following his criticism of Truman Administra­ tion’s defense policies before the house because of his testimony, but only for incompetence and be­ cause his term of office had ex­ pired. In the senate iast week photostatic evidence was submit­ ted showing Admiral Denfeld had been reappointed and recom­ missioned as chief of naval op­ erations on Sept. 14, 1949, with the Commission signed by both Secretary of the navy Matthews and President Truman, for a period of two years from that date. The secretary of the navy had previously testified Denfeld had not been recommissioned. The senate was shocked by the revel­ ation and has held up confirma­ tion of the new chief of naval op­ erations, Admiral Forrest Sher­ man, until investigation can be made. The next dayAdmiral Den- fehl requested retirement from the Navy March 1, after stating he had been reappointed and com­ missioned by the navy secretary and the president last September. Oleo Tax Taken Off Bya two-vote margin—193 to 191—the House last Thursday turned down the Korean aid bill —the first administration foreign aid measure to he rejected since 1939. ,The bill authorized the im­ mediate spending of $120-million, and the ultimate spending of $385 million, as economic aid to southern Korea. The bill would have legalized a $60 million ex­ penditure made by the Truman administration last year without authorization by congress. Nor­ thern Korea was occupied by Rus­ sia following the Yalta agree­ ment and the end of World War 11. State departmene officials testified no commitment or prom­ ise of any kind had been made to southern Korea that 'such aid would be given. Military officials insist Southern Korea cannot be defended in case of war, while Secretary of State Acheson stated Korea, along with Formo­ sa, could and would not be defend­ ed against aggression. May Recognize Spain Look for the Truman admin­ istration and the state- depart­ ment to recognize Franco Spain within the very near future. Ac­ cording to rumor Spanish rec­ ognition will be grante'd to off­ set criticism of the Administra­ tion’s early •recognition of com­ munist China, now said to be in the making. Such is fa r differ­ en t from Wilson’s diplomatic policy of “Open covenants, open­ ly arrived at.” To Double Insurance There is a move on foot in administration circles and on Capitol Hill to increase Federal insurance on bank deposits from the present $5,000 limit to $10,- OOQ, Building and loan deposits guarantees are expected to re- 6 main a t the $5,000 figure, how­ ever. Excise Tax Lags The ^Truman administration does not seem to he in any great hurry to either repeal or reduce wartime excise taxes. Late last week a Republican move to bring the issue to an early vote in the senate was opposed by Demo­ cratic Leader Lucas, and was rejected by the votes of Demo­ cratic senators. As a result hopes fo r excise tax relief from this congress have been greatly damp­ ened.

The trough shown in these draw­ ings is intended for mature sheep and will save labor, lumber, space and feed. As the drawings show, the trough ‘can be built easily by any farm handy-man, if the plan is followed strictly. It should be noted that the trough has its own floor. , If yearling rams are to be: fed, the material should be slightly heavier than is shown in the plan.

The trough can be cleaned easily by tipping it up. WASHINGTON REPORT BY SENATOR ROBERT A. TAFT D URING the month of January , the Senate will consider the bill to establish a F a ir Employment Practices Commission and possibly‘also the Federal anti-lynching bill. These bills are part of the so-called civil rights program which has become a slogan without any clear idea of exactly wha t it covers. As I see it, it-is intended to enable men to enforce more effectively the ir' .vconstitutional rights and to reduced- discrimination. Undoubtedly, there is such discrimination against Ne­ groes in many parts of the United States, Themost seri­ ous discrimina,- tion, I think, is in employment and rathermore Wings for ‘ Wingiass’ Wings for a wingless chicken are provided here by airline stewardess Marilyn Crawford. She is shown holding her very own “wings” to one of Peter Bauman’s famed “wingless” chickens, which Bauman is holding in the photo. Four of the chickens were shipped by air to Glean, N.Y., for breeding purposes. Caution Urged In Use : Of Chemicals, Sprays ; Dust sprays, gasses and other in­ secticides will do much to'promote the healthy growth •of fruits and vegetables is the gist of instruction being passed out now by county agents over the nation. However, these can often have just the opposite effect on people. Even though the container may not bear the skull and crossbones label, caution *is necessary since many substances are harmful in gome ways to man, despite the fact that ‘ they may not be definitely poison­ ous. The whole story of safety in use of insecticides, it was pointed out is simply precaution. ’ Technique Is Outlined For Reclaiming Leather One way to bring mildewed leath­ er back into service in short ordet say home management specialist*, i* to wipe it with a cloth wrunnoUt in diluted alcohol. * Use one cup of denatured alco­ hol to one cup of water.

They are more likely to be laid, off .first when a depres­ sion occurs, and they are the last -to be put back to work. Also, there are. parts of the country where .they are not permitted to vote and where any effort to insist on cer­ tain constitutional rights brings a threat of violence. I feel that the poll tax is used to prevent the Negroes voting in the six states where it re- • mains, -and I have always sup­ ported a bill to abolish the poll fax as a condition of voting in national .elections. 1 have -also . supported a Federal anti-lynch­ ing bill such as that now on our . Senate Calendar. rrpo DEAL' with the problem of discrimination in employment, I have advocated the setting up of a Fair Employment Practices Com­ mission to begin with a study of the whole problem, I believe that the condition can be greatly im­ proved. on a study and c.o-oopera- tive basis. The FEPC existing during- the war was able to improve greatly the industrial condition lof the col­ ored people, though it had no en­ forcement powers. Such a Com­ mission, after studying an jndusr trial city -and -determining what the situation is, could call all the employers together and lay out a definite plan for increasing the number of jobs open to Negroes and also for improving the grade of such' jobs. T believe all the larger employers, with the back­ ing of the President, would go along and set an example to the others. I have been opposed to set- i ting up a great Federal organi- i ation to pass on- the possible prejudices involved in any one of the 60 million employment re- lationships in the United States. I t would subject millions of em­ ployers-to arbitrary action by sdrrie Federal board. That board would have to determine in ,each case the motive of an employer in turn­ ing down an applicant for work; and, because motive is a question of fact, there would practically be no- appeal to the courts. In my opinion, the Federal government is no proper agency to deal directly with 140 million individuals in this country, or to try to offer a legal enforcement remedy for all their problems. * * 4 FN considering -the rights of the minorities, we must also, con­ sider the rights of the several mil­ lion employers who are respon­ sible for constantly increasing our production and standard of living. It certainly is a'serious depriva­ tion of liberty to say to a man that 'he must employ someone who he may consider to be unfitted or 'perhaps entirely incompetent for the particular job, or prove the validity of his opinion in court. ' Furthermore, the effort of the Federal government to deal with all these millions of cases Is bound to create bitter feeling and, in my opinion, increase race feeling and prejudice rather than to remove it. Whatever civil rights bills are proposed, I believe very strongly that the proponents have a right to have the bills voted *on in the Senate. I have supported cloture, or limitation of debate, therefore,, on all these measures, after a rea­ sonable, time is given for debate. The Republicans last year suc­ ceeded in securing an amendment to the cloture rule, which now makes cloture possible, as it has not been during the past 12 years that I have been in the Senate. I think we shall see a definite vote on one or more of the civil rights measures which I have discussed. CourtNews In Common Pleas Court Glada E. Woods vs. Karl A.
