TRUMAN BUSTS SEDATE FOREIGN AID CUT
"Scandalous"
Actions Hit By
Herbert Hoover
DES MOINES, la («P» —
Former President Herbert
Hoover said today that “pub
lic tolerance of scandalous
behavior” i n Washington
could destroy the nation.
But, he said there are signs that
the nation Is returning to course
where “moral Indignation” can
aaaert itself.
The nation's only living ex
president spoke at the lowa State
Fair, where he accepted an award
In recognition of his services to
the nation and to the state.
"Our greatest danger Is not from
Invasion by foreign armies, for no
army on earth can land on our
shores," he said.
OUTLINES EVILS
“Our dangers are that we may
commit suicide from within &
complaisance with evil, or by
tolerance of scandalous be
havior, or by cynical acceptance
of dishonor. These evils have de
feated nations many times in hu
9>an history."
Hoover said the redemption oj
mankind by .America will “de
pend upon our ability to cope with
these evils right here at home.
The United States, he said, is
“turning its face away from the
mauldln left-isms.”
“We sense the frauds on men's
minds and morals,” he said
“Moral indignation is on the march
again.”
Urging a return to the virtues
expounded In the Ten Command
ments, Hoover said America cur
rently “has a cancerous growth of
Intellectual dishonesty In public

CHASING MONKEY GETS
CAD UPCHURCH NEW NAME
They’re calling Cad Upchurch
“Taman” these days, and for a
very good reason, too.
He earned the title the other day
swinging from one lipab to another
In T. Brown Williams’ pear trpe
trying to catch a monkey that got
out of the cage at his house and
ran away.
Cad acquired the monkey recent
ly for his pretty little daughter,
Vicki, who named the animal “Chee
Chee.”
“Chee Chee" was the pet'of the
whole neighborhood and Vicki was
the proudest girl in town—until Cad
spotted things.
Like a dutiful father, Cad ac
cepted the responsibility of feeding
and caring for the monkey. One
day last week, as he was cleaning
out the cage, “Chee Chee” ran up
Cad ‘4 arm. hopped up on his shoul
ders and then leaped into the limbs
of a tall tree.
For several hours. Cad tried des
perately to catch the monkey. He
climbed up one tree and then an
other. but “Chee Cbee” managed to
keep one tree and a tew limbs ahead
of him. All his pleading and beg
ging to the monkey to come down
and be a good monkey didn’t do a
bit of good. i
“Please.” pleaded Cad almost
tearfully to the monkey. “Come on
down. Not for my sake, but for
Vicki.” It waa a pretty speech, but
V “Chee Chee” just curled up his tall
and grinned In his best monkey
manner.
Finally, both Cad and Vicki went

Scramble For
Higher Prices,
Wages Forseen
WASHINGTON (HR) Mo
bilization chiefs told Con
gress today another “scram
ble” for higher prices and
wages is coming unless it
enacts a~ tougher controls
law.
- "The American consumer, once
again, would be caught in the
middle,” Price Stablizer Michael
V. DiSalle said. He compared the
outlook to the inflaUon that came
just after war broke out in Korea.
DiSalle and Defense Mobilizer
Charles E. Wilson testified before
the Senate Banking Committee in
support of President Truman's re
quests for repeal of two price
boosUng amendments and restora
tion of authority to impose slaugh
tering quotas to stop black markets
In meat.
REVISION CHANCES SLIM
Chances of revision of the re
cently renewed controls law ap
peared slim. Chairman Burnet
Maybank D-.BC already had pre
dicted a turn-down on the slaugh
ter quota provision.
But DiSalle said this and other
“weakening" parts of the law
make real controls Impossible.
“The result would be no
price control at all,” he said.
But Wilson said success of the
moblizatlon program requires “the
strongest and most effective law
you can give us."
The. greatest lnflaUonary pres
sures. he said, will be felt in the
months ahead as defense produc
tion moves into high gear, taking
more and more materials out of
the civilian economy.
INFLATION DANGEBA
“The - suocesa of war
program if largely dependent upon'
effective stabilisation." he said.
“Failure to maintain a stable ec%-

Speaker Cites Risk
OfGreatT emptation
The Rev. James C. Cammack,
pastor of the First Baptist Church, .
Smithfield, delivered the commence
ment address to 34 summer-school
graduates at Campbell College ye#J J
terday afternoon. His topic was
"Life's Largest Temptation.”
After the Invocation by Dr. J,
He stated that the speaker was
a native of Texas, where he receiv
ed his A. B. degree from Baylor
University. His bachelor of divini
ty degree was earned in 1946 from
Southern Baptist Theological Semi- :
nary in Louisville, Kentucky. For
two years he has been a trustee
of Campbell CoPege.
SCORES “SHORT CUT” <
After promising his audience that
he was using a serviceable watch i
and would not speak too long (a
promise which he kept), Cammack i
read the passage from the Bible !
which describes the temptations of
Jesus by Satan. Then he stated
that “life’s most tremendous de- ,
mand is the temptation to take a •
short cut. . . Wirt Is It.” he ask
ed. “that the temptation to slide by ,
is so great?”
The answer he gave is that many ,
people begin life on a false aasump- ,
tion. They never learn the differ- !
ence between reputation and char- \
acter. “When God wanted to make
an oak. he took 100 years;‘when he ,
wanted to make a squash, he took ,
only a few weeks.” Many people
are like Squashes instead of sturdy .
oaks. They have a warped sense
of values. They do not know that ,
“although there may be a short cut
to an A on a paper, there is no ■
short cut to a real education.”
Just as there is no snort cut to
an education, Cammack pointed
out, so there la no short cut to
Christian character. “The biggest
need In the world today,” he aaaert- .
ed, “la the need for Christian men
and women. Instead of hoping 1
that the atom bomb will scare our
neighbors into keepinig the peace, J
the nation must rcalilae that until >

UNJTED NATIONS. N, Y. •_ IT
United Nations diplomats believed
today that Russia's veto threat in
the Suez Canal dispute may nerald
a full-scale Starlet entry into the

Ominous evidence of a new Soviet

FIRST VETO THREAT ':■*
It was the-first time In the U. N.’s
four-year Jtruggle with the Arab-
Israell dispute over Palestine that
ussia has used even the threat' of
a veto. . 'V '
When the Western powers pre

portedly had indicated It would
maintain its traditional “absten

No one took at face value Tsarap

was seeking • the postponement
merely to give It more time to
prepare some views It has on the
Suez issue. As Britain’s Sir Glad

reduction seems rather hopeless
now. but that he regards It (b s
very serious situation.
UPSET APPLE CART j
He said proponents of the cut
are prepared to upset. the whole
apple cart in the interest of mis
placed economy. This is particu
larly regrettable, he said, because
success of the European recovery
program is definitely in sight. fjs w.
Asked what, if anything, he ptenr
ned to do about it. the president
said gravely that he has done
everything he possibly can but will
keep fighting for the full authorisa
tion. He added, however, that the
situation looks rather hopless now.
Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark)
said he expects an amendment to
slash another $1,000,000,090 tnfa
