Gen. Emmett O’Donnell •would be called on the carpet by his superior officers to • answer for his brash statements regarding the bombing Zof Red China was a cheering bit of news; but it is highly J unlikely that anything other than a white-wash will come 2of it. , . I I. I • lAst Thursday General O’Donnell pointed up two glaring • faults in our democratic system which doubtless cause • many a sleepless night for President Truman and Secretary “of State Dean Acheson. m 2 First, by plumping for the bombing of the Chinese main • land, General o Donnell typified tne rugged individulist Z who speaks his mind no matter how mucn his statements 2 may wreck to the the Nation’s foreigh policy. Certainly the -American public would like to see China’s factories leveled 2 and her supply lines smashed .. and the government could 2 conceivably be of the same temperament. 2 But that is not for a mere bomber command chief to say. 5 His job is to see that bombs are carried to the enemy, not 1 to demand that the Air Force “smake hell’ out of the Red’s Z Industry in Manchuria. Z The second fault, much as we hate to admit it, lies with -American journalism. Owing to the most intense type pf Z competition imaginable, every journalist to any worth will 2 breaK his neck to get into print the statements of high • ranking .. or even middle-ranking .. men in positions of Z importance before his rivals do. Z This tendency is demonstrated by Columnist Drew Pear -2 soni'JSPho, while a very competent journalist, often lets the • heady magic of an exclusive “scoop” get away with his Z judgement. Pearson is currently accused by volatile Sen 2ator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin of violating govern -msafc security regulations in printing classified matters in his news column. The whole affair boils dov(ftbS3\fo facts: General O’Don nell, being unauthorized, should never have made the statements with which he was credited, and the reporters on the scene, recognizing that he spoke without proper authorization, should have exercised more critical judbe ment in reporting the interview. Such bad taste and questionable ethics reflect on this country’s standing with foreigh governments. True, we 'afEl&rrying the rest of the world along; but we cannot hope - to win their support in the fight against world Com jaunist if they become convinced that any three-star gen ei%£Tsin override the president, Congress an dthe State De partment and plunge us into an untimely conflict. The free-riding nations are just like hitch-hikers any-- where .they appreciate the lift, but they can surely turn down the ride if they think the car is being driven by an irresponsible maniac.

A nation has to face up with reality sooner or later. We can wander in a miasma of nopes and wisnes, but sooner or later we come up slap-bang against cold facts. No twisting and squirming helps. No matter how much we talk about wuat we need to do in •c-urope, we are actually fighting in Asia. Americans are Denig killed cnere. our troops nave been at it since June 20, six months oi heart-breaking, mind - searing, ueadly lighting. Many have been killed; many are permanently dis aoieu. i recently saw a preview oi a motion picture. “Steel Helmet, whicn, witn rare realism, oescrmes jut riorean war as a fact. While we sit comiortaoly rumi nating on what oeneral Kisennow er may or may not succeed in doing in Europe, oeneral MacArthur is actually, uay by oay, hour by nour, lacing a merciless and formidable foe. Nor is it possiole to xorget ixorea, while we wait for Eisen nower to mase his deals in Europe, mere is no waiting tune while our joys are being xiued. iviayoe we snouio never have gone into Korea! Maybe we should, ui humiliation ano aojectly, cut our losses mere and get out: May i.e we snouio recognise tne Soviet world as our masters! Is not all that academic? The fact Is that we are in Korea ano tnat we cannot accept the indig nity of humiliation and defeat without suffering diplomatically and economically throughout the World. A Ucxeo nation has no standing. Nor can we long remain an independent people if we ac cept the Soviets as our masters. Therefore, Dean Acheson has taken the correct step when he re jected the counter-terms of Soviet China in the matter of the cease fire. Their counter-terms involve total humiliation for tne United States. They are Insulting terms— the offer of a conqueror to a de feated foe who is tolerated. Our government has no Alterna tive but to acknowledge ,that So viet China is an enemy nation making war upon the United States. That nation has rejected every effort on our part to meet them three-quarters of the way. They demand total humiliation. If the United Nations deserts the United States at this point, there is nothing for Congress to do but to abrogate the treaty which snakes us a party to the United Nations charter. Therefore, the next? step is up to the United Nations. Either that body declares Soviet China to be an aggressor or it denounces itself unworthy of our membeship. It seems to me that those are the alternatives. True, If the United States aban dons the United Nations, that par liament of states would have little reason for existence. Nevertheless, it would be an interesting legal point as to whether they could not, Stanley Holt Avery, month-old son of Kermlt and Oeneva Smith Avery, died this morning at the home on Dunn Rt. 3. Rites were held at 4 p. m. today from the home, and burial was in Erwin Chapel Cemetery. Mrs. Jonnie Louise Hair, 59, died Monday afternoon at her home, Dunn Rt. 1. Funeral services were held at 3 30 this afternoon from Spring Branch Baptist Church. Burial was in the church cemetery.

A: r r Mister Breger /' \/\ \ ViyV. i \ “That’s enough—you don’t have to KEEP saying ‘ah, ' ah, ah, ah, ah’... !” Little old NEW YORK r . Bj ED SULLIVAN NO LAUGHING MATTER In moments of national stress, comedians will tell you that audiences are so eager to laugh that they are what the trade calls “pushovers.” Danny Thomas, wrecking ail boxotliee records at the Copacabana, sat with us last night and made this observation: “Sometimes, when you’re playing a club or theatre, the comic gets the impression that the audience is sitting there challenging him; these audiences laugh so easily,‘ j*ou ! d think they were relatives.'* . . . Jimmy Durante says he s round the same atmosphere within the past three months . . . Victor Borge, Joey Adams, Jack Haley, Jack Benny, Jan Murray, Bob Hope ana Eddie Cantor ait have expressed the same thought. Casts oi Broadway musicals acknowledge that the January, 1951, audiences are quickest on the upbeat. The phe nomena of 1918 and 1941 are recurring. Thomas, long-beaked, literate comic out of Toleda, Ohio, is enjoying a tour de force at the Copacabana. He is "murdering" em. This is pleasant news to relate, because for a time it appeared that the philosophical Thomas was going to sermonize himsea right out of the comedy business. The last time he played in New York, Danny would interrupt his comedy routines to discuss Americanism, equal rights and other topics. Ihese are splendid causes in which to interest yourself, but they don’t belong in a comedy routine. Stage professionals started calling Danny “The Preacher.” MRS. BILL CUNNINGHAM ENTERTAINS PRESBYTERIAN CIRCLE LAST NIGHT Mrs. W. W. Cunningham enter tained members of circle No. VI of the First Presbyterian Otaurch at her home on South Magnolia Aver nue Monday nignt at 9 o’clock. . Mrs. J. E. Witbourne, chairman of the circle, presided over the busi ness meeting. A very interesting Bible study was given by Miss Virginia Smith, educat.6nal director of the ehurch. Mrs. L. Banks Holt is leaving for in such circumstances, continue to meet m New Yorx. They are hous ed in this city by the terms of contracts with the government of tne United States and the state of New Yorx, liuiy covered by acts of federal Congress and thp New korx State Legislature. Would our withdrawal from the United Nations affect those con tracts? One of the clauses of the contract with the government of the United States guarantees to those who have business with the United Nations free access to it. That includes spies and- saboteurs if they have the proper creden tials. The United Stores is not the judge of the credentials, al though such agents of' foreign gov ernments must live in our cities and move about in them. In our present troubles with So viet Russia and Soviet China, this can become tremendously impor tant whether *e remain in the United Nations or withdraw from it. Thousands of Europeans and Asiatics, in one way or another, have proper business with the United Nations who may, as a side line, have other highly improper business in the United States, How are we protecting ourselves from them? How many agents do the Soviet countries have in the Unit ed States at this moment? Here it is only five years since vthe San Francisco Conference ana already it is faced by a .crisis which means life or death for that body. Such is the destiny of all human institutions tost are devised in cunning and perpetrated by ap peasement. A nation, like a man, must live with dignity and decency—or go under morally.

CHAMPION MILLING COMPANY IN DUNN IS PAYING Highest Prices for your CORN Bring Us A Load Today- You’ll Be Pleased i , , Frederick L OTHMAN 1 11 WASHINGTON. I have here the harrowing tale of how some transplanted city slickers almost nicked the rest of us innocent tax payers for a 1150,000 airport in the tiny village of Palmer, Alaska. These sourdoughs with the taking ways floored the Senate Executive Expenditures Committee arid me by saying they considered it their patriotic duty to milk the Federal government for every cent they reasonably could. So: The leading citizens of Palmer, which now numbers 800 souls, de cided they needed a new airport. They paid $60,85737 for the land, chopping down the trees, clearing out the stumps and grading the runways. The airport they then sold to the Alaska territorial gov ernment for $150,000. They got a check for this sum. Then they 'donated” $145,000 back to their government. The Far Northern statesmen then applied to the Civil Aeronautics Ad ministration for $150,000, under the law which allows the Federal gov ernment to match local funds for the building ol airports. Tne CAA took this application, including mention of tne phantom $150,000 fee, at it’s face value and was about to nand the Alaskans $150,000 more to matcn tne money mat wasn't tnere wnen the Senate began to investigate. Now an assortment of Alaskans have been hauled down here to testify under oath their shenanigans with our money and with no cont inent from me, let’s listen to Roland Snograss, slim young map m a khaki shirt, who was secertary of the falmer Airport Association. Having paid $6,753.06 for the land, plus sas,uuo mor» to turn it into an a.rport, his problem was to (jet some of that Federal money. Tne air port in the region of the polar bear appointed as their first step three including Snodgrass’ father. "And I did everything I could to see that the appraisers were friend ly,” he continued. “I did quite a libbylng fob.) I wanted 'them to value the land as high ja< they could.” VWhy?” demanded Sen. Karl Mundt (R„ S. D.). /'lt would affect the Federal matching funds,” Snodgrass said. “How?” asked the Senator. "It would raise them” said Snod grass.” I wanted to get as much Federal money as we could, within WARNING # TO TAXPAY ERS Penalty Starts Feb. Ist.
