C., und^ the Act of March 3, 1870. Better Look This Horse in the Mouth Federal aid for public schools is a tempting morsel which some cannot resist, but this is one horse that we better look in the mouth before we buy it. Those who favor it are care ful to say that they want federal aid without federal control i- or interference in the local schools, but we wonder if anyone honestly believes that is possible or to be expected? .Or in the light of what is going on in the country, can anybody honestly believe such a thing unless he shuts his eyes to facts. And the facts are that Federal control is inevitable once we are committed to such a pohcy. One Congress is not bound by the acts of another Congress and any bill that provides for the inauguration of such a pro gram would hold good only until a later Congress decided to amehd it or enact new legislation. Once federal aid becomes a major factor in local school budgets there will be no alter natives for the community which might object to restrictions of conditions imposed. If we want Federal aid with the restrictions and conditions that any Congress at any time may choose to write into the law, we can accept it that way. But we ought not to accept it blindly unless we are willing to take all that goes with it. —The Laurinburg Exchange. EXERCISE SWARMER IS ENDED 5 DAYS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE An official end to Exercise Swarmer was called Wednesday at noon, some five days ahead of the original schedule. Officials saw no need to continue the ma neuver, largest peacetime air- ground exercise in history, since it has proved what military lead ers wanted to know — that an army can be supplied with food and equipment entirely by air and stage major offensives. The maneuver will be topped off Friday with a spectacular 671-plane aerial parade over this section. It will pass over Fayette ville. Lt. Gen. Lauris Norstad, ma neuver commander, said the aerial reveiw “is intended as a salute to □ ^ u All New 1950 Home Appliances Come in!

Parade will pass over the Camp Mackall-Fort Bragg-Pope Air Force base areas in full sight of troops and citizens living in the path of flight. General Norstad said the aerial column would be led by trans ports and troop carriers flying at 1.000 feet, followed by combat craft flying 500 feet higher in case they might overrun the slower moving planes. Planes will assemble at 9 a. m. Friday at a point about half-way between Rockingham and Rober- j dell, then will fly over Hoffman, Camp Mackall and the 11th Air- I borne division south of Aberdeen and Southern Pines, then to Pope field and Fort Bragg for a salute to the 82'nd Airborne division. The planes will fly three min utes east of Fort Bragg, then turn by the most directed route back to home bases throughout the Caro- linas, Virginia, and other states. The swarm of aircraft will originate from Laurinburg-Max- ton airbase, Greenville, S. C., Shaw field, S. C., Turner field, Ga., Langley field. Va., and Oceana Naval Air Station, Va. Request for the parade, Gen eral Norstad said, was made by Lt. Gen John R. Hodge, Fort Bragg commander and head of the maneuver’s Task Force, who wanted the ground forces to see just how much air might had been used in furtherance of the ground tactical activities. • BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Attack of Amnesia Transforms Milquetoast Into Roast Ruler By BILLY ROSE- The other day I picked up the telephone to-call Eleanor, and it was almost half a minute before I could remember my number at home. At the time, this memory lapse didn’t seem worth brooding about, but last night I happened to meet up with a well-known psychiatrist at the Stork Club, and over a jigger of ginger-beer I told him what had happened. “It was probably a mild attack of amnesia,” he said. “As a rule, the victims are folks who, consciously or unconsciously, want to escape from their routine chores, and every now and then their minds blank out as a protest against doing the same old things the same old way.” "What kind of pills should I take?” “Fun piUs,” said the mind-med ico. “Buy yourself a sailboat, take up skeet-shooting, or get a set of water colors and learn how to paint.” "And supposing I don’t.?” “Chances are nothing will hap pen except that you’ll forget a few more phone niunbers.

C. | there’s always the possibility that the spells may get longer and more frequent. That’s what happened not long ago to a ^ood friend of yours.” * ' * * JEBBT—and I’m sure you know the Jerry I mean—used to be one of Broadway’s leading juveniles and stay-up lates. Five years ago, as you know, he put away his hair- oil and got a job producing radio shows. And not long after, he mar ried the daughter of a network executive, bought a home in Scars- dale and decided to settle down. "Well, as often happens when a girl has too much dowry, his wife did most of the settling for him. She made him exchange his friends for hers, his fun for hers and his life for hers. And within a year, the man who used to be a gay dog became all dog— a Westchester version of Caspar Milquetoast. “After two years of being yam mered at by his missus, Jerry came in to see me one day and said that he was having trouble with hii memory—that it was blacking out on him now and then. 1 asked him some questions about hia home life, and when he t(dd me what it was like I advised him to stand up to his wife, and if neces sary, slap bar down occasionally. He told me, quite seriously, she wouldn’t stand for such a thing. “One morning several months later, he cams to my office, and told me quite a tale. It seems that on his way home the night before be bad had an attack of amnesia, and when be came to 15 hours later be was in s New York hotel room, with no idea of what had happened in between. “I phoned his wife, and from her story,' managed to put the pieces together. Jerry’s memory had snapped as he got to the door of his house in Scarsdale-perhaps in protest against the stuffy people his wife had invited to dinner— and all he knew was that he was standing on a strange stoop. • • • “AFRAID TO BING the beU, he sneaked into the back yard, found an open window, hoisted himself through, then recognizing nothing, stopped to puzzle out the situation. Who was he? What sort of man would climb through, the window of a strange house? Only a burg lar, of course. Ergo, he must be a burglar. And so he tiptoed up stairs, entered his wife’s bedroom and began stuffing her jewelry into his pockets. "At this point, his missus walked in, told him to stop play ing cops and robbers, and began badgering him at the top of her over-sized lungs. But Jerry, the burglar, instead of melting into the carpet, belted her one right in the teeth, “That’s all there was to it. Some how, he got back to New York, checked in at a hotel, and when he woke up his anmesia was gone.” “Did you tell bis wife that her husband wasn’t himself when he clipped her on the chin?” I asked. The psychiatrist smiled. “Of course not, and what’s more, I ad vised my patient to keep mum. Jerry went home to a big recon ciliation scene—the old ’worm- turns’ story—and ever since, the more spina he has shown the more supine his wife has 'become. “I went to his house for a poker session recently, snd the only time she came in the room was when she brought in the drinks. To date, there have been no recur rences of amnesia, and it’s my belief that if Jerry doesn’t take any more nonsense from his wife, there won’t be..” "Are you suggestisst I go homo used bang a sbiteor on tlemsor's oyo?" I askod. “In your case,” said the psychia trist, ’1 doubt if it’s necessary. However, if you have any zhore trouble remembering telephone numbers, I’d suggest you Invest a few dollars in a water-color set.” Planes for Swarmer were rounded up from as far west as Washington state and as far north as Massachusetts, while transports were pulled in from the global Military Air Transport Service many of them being veterans of the Berlin Airlift. An early halt to Swarmer was indicated Tuesday when officials announced that the problems in volved had been ironed out quick er than expected, and the troops had rapidly expanded the airhead behind “enemy” lines. General Norstad said the con cept of an air assault that is sup plied entirely by air-—in the Ber lin Airlift fashion—had already proved itself feasible. He added that although there are known (Continued on Page 10) -0- PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Sam Morris and hew home, recently purchased from Tom McBryde, on Jackson street.
