Korea is the chief topic o f conversation in Con­ gress, where it is being said and pointed out. While American troops in Ko­ rea are fighting under the United Nations’ flag, not a single foot- soldier o f any other nation is fighting alongside them, although Australia has sent a few fighter planes to the front, and three or four small British and Dutch naval vessels are near the Korean coast. Past congressional opposition to, economic aid fo r South Korea appears justified. Any benefits attained form such economic aid field have already been destroyed. Military aid voted South Korea was delayed and held up just as somehow American military aid voted Nationalist China was pre­ vented from reaching the front in any volume in time to stop the Communist armies.

You may remember a “ complete surprise” at Peari Harbor. Why these “ complete surprises?” The records show that full informa­ tion on the Korean situation was a t hand, and any Greene county school boy o r girl could underw stand it. Are we so intently in­ terested in non-political tours and hand-outs and gradiose schemes o f $12,000-a-year salaries that we are so easily surprised? THEY’RE BACK Judge Samuel Roseman is back at the president’s side to assist in writing speeches and prepar­ ing propaganda and publicity— which the president is going to need badly enough, we admit. San ’! wrote FDR’s speeches and “ fireside chats,” and he writes, ao they say and Truman’s, except rear-platform wisecracks. Clark Clifford is back in WDC, too. So, settle back, Greene county neigh­ bors, we are going to have it all explained to us in soothing words. SHOULDER SHRUGGING This writer heard a talk in Xenia the other day. It was on the subject o f the weaknesses o f our government, its tendencies to bankruptcy, and. the infiltration o f communism and socialism into its structure. Men listened intent­ ly. They went away shrugging their shoulders, and voicelessly saying, “ So what?” What to do about such things is seldom sug­ gested. ' All we get is the story o f existing conditions.

Oh ' ernment ought not add to the dan­ ger .of inflation; But I see little Chance that the .'Administration will reverse its deficit spending policy ■or. that a-Democratic Con­ gress-will reverse its policy for it. So by next:November, at the lat­ est, we are likely to face a demand for higher taxes. It seems to-me obvious that any war like the Korean war should* be paid for by current taxation. There can be no justification for adding to the public debt. Further­ more, the deficit spending already has tended ■to produce higher prices. If we add the Korean, de­ mands to the present huge domes­ tic requirements for steel and products of all kinds/ without economy or new taxation, we are likely to produce a serious infla­ tion. * * •- T WOULD far rather check infla­ tion by economy, or increased taxes than by controls. Controls might be necessary in some very limited fields, but I see no reason, why the addition of several billion dollars to ' our military expenses should justify any over-all police state controls when it is only an addition o f one or two per cent to our current production of goods. If we are forced info a substantial increase 4n taxes, it probably ought to.be spread^over all-fields^ corporation, individual and excise. But it is still too early to judge the whole situation. Should w e become involved in. the tragedy o f a third world war, many persons feel that we'should finance that also out of current taxes rather than add'hundreds of billions of dollars to our present huge debt. Certainly that possi­ bility should be explored, al­ though no nation has ever been able to do it. It would almost-re­ quire.a rationing of individual in­ come, the difficulties o f which procedure are almost inconceiva* ble. One thing seems certain. War today, even a war with a few Korean Communists, is infinite­ ly expensive. We cannot have both guns and butter. I f w e en­ gage’ in war, either we have to abandon a lot o f the nice things w e would like t o have and cut . expenditures, .or our people* are- going to have to pay a lot more taxes. X CHILD who cannot entertain himself is apt to be unhappy, and we might as well admit it, rather a chore for his mother to take care of throughout the long day. Yet how many times do you squeleh an idea your child has for amusing himself because you think it is too much trouble to help him find the materials to carry out his project?, Creativeness grows only by being exercised—and the child who finds himself balked every time' he imagines something that would be fun to do, may de­ velop into one of those bored, what- shall-I-do-now youngsters. Suppose five-year-old Susie takes a notion she wants to make a dress io r her dell oat of some pieces of gingham from her own new play suit. You know very well that sewing is beyond a five-year-old—more­ over you were probably taught that little girls should begin sewing lessons by learning to make nest hems. But why hot let Susie whack away at a doll dress even If she does get i scraps and threads bn the rag? | The fan toe will have will do I more to interest her in sewing $ later on than any amount of ? practice in sewing fine seams. I ness. Moreover, a creative idea is worth encouraging for the many other avenues of interest it opens up, one of which may lead to a life work. The interest you show in your child’s ideas must go be­ yond the smacking of lips over delectable looking mud pies. Children old enough to have a cherished idea can sense in­ sincerity. Also, for the child’ s protection you must really lis­ ten to his plans and oversee them a bit, for you never know . when an idea will take a dan- gerous turn. Usually, a way can be figured to keep tilings - on a safe and sane basis so you •rarely need to call off the pro­ ject altogether and discourage the young “ idea man.” . ; One of the worst things parents, [can do when an idea is brewing fis to give the child too much help with it. Think back and you’re likely to find that the play projects that died aborning were the ones where father literally took over. It is better just to give encourage­ ment and a little help or a few suggestions when things strike a snag. But your greatest contribution to Then suppose your little boy deA the development of your child’s tions change, excise tax relief legislation is dead for this ses­ sion. Senator McCarthy, center of controversy as a result o f his charges against many state de­ partment officials, created a sen­ sation last week'.when he pro­ duced a . letter from J. Edgar cides some dark, rainy day that he’d like to go camping in the liv­ ing room. You could insist that he pitch his tent in the basement in­ stead, but where but in the living room fireplace, could he build a fire, and what is camping without a log fire? Out of childhood make- believe grow many o f the ideas- that lead t o grown-up inventive­ creativeness is to refrain from complaining about the trouble and mess involved. And above ah, try not to say, “ Couldn’ t you wait until tomorrow when X’Uhave more time to get the things you want from the attic?” “Tomorrow” has killed off more ideas—and in later life more hobbies — than any other word. JHoovet, head of the FBI, cate­ gorically denying a statement by Senator Tydings, chairman of the committee investigating the Mc­ Carthy charges, that the FBI Had checked state department files and found that they had not been tampered with. Then McCarthy dropped another bombshell by i producing statements from three] state department employees that ! in 1947, just before the loyalty checkup started, they had been- ordered to go through state de-! partment personnel records and take out and destroy all papers] which jxeflected on the loyalty r,f j the' state department officials.’ McCarthy is now demandinv the' president determine who issued those orders to strip the state!
