And free enter prise.'American-style can help make the world a better P 4^ ce f° r peoples of all colors, creeds, and races ;.”Saudi Arabia is today a dramatic example of that. For centuries it ftad been a poor and backward country, with very low standards of health, education and gen m hying. It had one great, undeveloped asset vast Underground lakes of oil. The Saudi-Arabian government made a contract with four American oil enterprises, known collectively mMe Arabian Amercan Oil Company and generally £alle& M Aramco. The Americans supplied technicians, equipment, know-how—and some $500,000,000 of capital. Now Saudi-Arabia’s fields are producing an average of SBO%OOO barrels of oil a day. Distribution systems mroughout the world refine and sell products made from .Aramco oil. The government receives large sums in royalties and taxes. The Aramco has established *ehoc&, hospitals, model farms, and other facilities whose purpose is to better the lot of the Saudi Arabian people and raise their living and wording standards. Here is international teamwork which benefits all concerned—and iairly divides the fruits of the tremen dous development. It is giving the free world a source of jQfU which it vitally needs. It is a powerful force toward a better, .civilization. | "-The vigor and resourcefulness which American oil fflfch’hjave shown abroad is a reflection of what they are jjplpg at home. No industry has been more alert to the .-problems and needs of the day—none has dealt with them more succeSsully. You Stake In The Dollar —*“ a record amount of life insurance in their .‘Jfcatoe, the American people have everything at stake in the ITtuted States dollar. Figures show that our population of 155,000,000 owns '900,000,000. life policies ofiseven major types. The aggre "§»te ;ysiue is $234,000,0004)00. This can only mean that . the great bulk of th» people have placed their faith hi .the security, of the American dollar. And yet the govern ment-continues to devaluate the dollar through uncon trolled; spending. In the six years which ended with 1951, Ljtte Federal Government will have collected more taxes 6y $8,400,000,000 than it collected in the entire previous S JBSstojy of the country. And the public debt has reached : $007,000,000,000. fL. Then, as if this strain were,not enough on the stab ility qf the dollar, the situation is made more perilous by the government’s spending billions of dollars on socialis tic ventures in direct opposition to highly taxed private industry. This socialization has gained such momentum , Ha. the United States that it is no longer considered an Incidental expense of government. The cost, direct and Indirect, is a substantial part of today’s huge budgets. ; The government cannot go on socializing taxable in ouss£y„ and business, and spending so excessively, without afctroying private enterprise and the savings of the ' ■ •• . & -umnstsnimusmammuumvtnumsumuUmsumwmmmm *r»*rtek OTHMAN , - Way back to s the subject.

The theory arises from an older concept of the role of the scholar, namely, that he was subsidised to pursue the truth in his chosen fields and co expound it. What happens, however, when this schol ar ceases to devote himself to the truth and becomes an advocate of the corruption of the spirit, the destruction of his country, the de basement of its civilization? What happens when tie associates him self with espionage against the United States? In such instances, the American Association of University Professors takes the position that while such conduct may be wicked if per formed by others, a professor may pursue his own course because he enjoys academic freedom, which is a basic human right. John Francis Neylan, a regent of the University of California, to discussing the conflict over the loy alty oatl# in that school, makes this point: “On October 11, 1940 ... the regents declared members of the Community Party were not free to pursue the truth and were not capable of objective teaching. “The American Association of University Professors has decreed and now decrees that no board of regents or trustees shall discrimi nate against a Communist. “On March 23, 1950, the faculty ... of the University of Califor nia, after a year’s discussion, voted in a majority of eighty per cent ... to sustain the regents' policy and reject the policy of the Amer ican Association of University Pro fessors.” Yet, when 18 members of the faculty refused to take the loyalty oath, the university was threatened with the foUpwtag dire results: • ■ ■ There wijl he the .-custo mary investigation by the- Ameri can Association of University Pro fessors. followed by * dovastOU&K and well-publicised report -The University of California will be black-listed, and all good men will be warned to avoid it. . . The professors put themselves exactly to the position of motion picture, radio and television per sonnel who complain of the activi ties of such agencies as "Counter attack” and “Red Channels.“'These publications never made anyone’s record: the records are made by the persons themselves. They have to Uve with their own pests, as we all do. A university is both a research institution for scholars and a school for the education and personality development of boys and girls. It is the second category which con cerns the parent, who does not send his child to a college to be corrupted by a subversive or ex hibitionistic professor. Parents, alumni, contributors, and the board of trustees have rights gLyC ’m. row rights. Freedom is not a One-Way Street: the freedom to reject 1* as great as the freedom to accept.

I a qUWSHMOOM MjtMERRY-fiO-ROIWD sg •« »t|W HAMOR Washington—A lot of people have long figured they could run the Voice of America much better than the men who are running it. This applies to about half the members of Congress, any one of whom will tell you exactly what should be said on the broadcasts reaching behind the Iron Curtain. Actually, however, the State De partment has welcomed idea; from an sorts of people, including Con gressmen. as to what should be on th? Voice of America. Furthermore it is now- open to a unique idea. This is to have the school chil dren of America broadcast to the school children behind the iron curtain. The most important objective to winning the peace and preventing war is to convince the people on the other side of the iron curtain that the American people truly want peace. Every day the Moscow radio pours out a torrent of propa ganda aimed at doing exactly the contrary—namely, convincing the Soviet peoples that the American people want war. Obviously this is to help steel the Russian people to bear the tremendous burden of war preparation and the virtual slave labeg of the armament factories. ItValso to mould public opinion for tbejday when the Kremlin decides war is to Hr dWfelared. " Soviet propaganda has been es pecially directed at the yopth of Russia —on the theory that if you can bring up the next generation steeped in the idea that the Ameri can ' people are its chief enemies, that you don’t have to worry about propagandizing them later. That’s why the school children of the United States can do a great service for their country and for future peace by cooperating with the Voice of America to getting the truth behind the iron curtain. They can tell the school children of Rus sia what life is really like to our schools, how American children have the friendliest feeling toward other children all over the world, and how they have contributed gen erously to help their friends to other countries. The method of sending these “Messages to Moscow” is now be ing dtecuseed with state school su perintendents. Obviously there will not be room on the radio channels to carry a message from every American student. But tentative plans are under way to have local school officials pick the most ap pealing messages written by the children of that city or state and have them transcribed for use on the Voice of America. A recent series of interviews with Russians escaped from behind the iron curtain showed that Soviet propaganda had made its biggest inroads on the children. They are rapidly becoming completely com- CUTIES §LM \ M % MS : munized. That is where the school : children of America can do a great i job for their country to helping to 5 tell the truth to the children of s Russia. ! JOE’S ADVERTISING BOYCOTT 5 Statuesque Sen. Guy Gillette, the lowa Democrat, has got himself be twixt and between regarding hls ■ friend, Sen. Joe McCarthy. i As chairman of the subcommittee ■ charged with investigating McCar i thy, Gillette was the only Senator : who privately opposed the probe. . In the secrecy of the committee he • argued that McCarthy would get >■ his revenge on committee mem i bers and indicated that he, Gil lette, partially agreed with McCar i thy. In the final showdown, when : Gillette saw that all other commit i tee members were against him, he i switched and voted for the tovesti r gation. But he has never been en ’ thusiastic. Other' Senators figured that the ! lowa Senator’s reluctance was part ; ly because Colonel McCormick’s i Chicago Tribune, strong McCarthy ; supporter, has a big circulation to » lowa and might hurt Gillette’s re - election. ! However, an interesting thing . now happened. One of Colonel Mc - Cormick’s editorials has nofr at i tacked Senator McCarthy for ad vocating an advertising boycott of . Time Magazine. This was to retali : ation for Time’s criticism of Mc i Carthy. Describing McCarthy as i "Low Blow Joe,” McCormick’s New - York News, largest circulating pa , per in the World, commented: "The Senator now threatens to try to persuade Time’s advertisers : to withdraw their business—you’re ; no blushing oratorical violet, joe, ■ and you’ve got the whole U. S. : Senate as a sounding board. How : about settling your squabbles that ■ way, without getting suckered ta ■ to fouling out?” Note—McCarthy also used the i safety of Senatorial Immunity to 1 call the Saturday Evening Post pro , Communist. "This article,” he said, referring to Post’s criticism of Mc > Carthy, “is almost 100 per cent to line with the official instructions : issued to the Communists and fel low-traveling members of the press.” BIGGEST FEE IN INDIAN I HISTORY A Federal Grand Jury is now to • vestigattog charges of another al -1 leged $500,000 shakedown attempt, i This time the man involved is an si,eoo-a-year Senate employee, Al ! bert A.

Duffy was s slugger and killer, a merchant of mayhem and mur der, for hire on either side of any cause that could pay for his services. He died to the Joliet pen, doing life. You wouldn’t think that decent folks would want and urge more about him. But I get more re sponse whenever I recall the deeds of the Goat than I do when I pontificate about politics or eco nomics or brotherly love. His right name was Dufay. He had been run off the Montreal waterfront by the police. He came to Chicago, where they hung his monicker on him because he was short and muscle-bound and one of his best methods of attack was butting with bis hard head. But he was deadly with his fists and feet, too, if he could get to the first clout, which, qs a pro fessional, he regarded as his pre rogative. I saw him. while be was sup porting a strike, grab the owner erf 1 the plant as he started across the sidewalk to bis car, pick him up under the armpits from be hind, swing him over his head and break both his shins on tb.e edge of the curb-stone. The next week, working for the man he had crippled, he gave one of the union pickets the boots and staved in his Tibs. The Goat, vulnerable to blondes, had a case on Margie C., a pint sized pugnosed cutle who was singing at a saloon on Twenty- Second Street one summer. Every night he came there and wept and applauded as she gave with sad ballads. If others did not loudly show their appreciation he glowered at them, and opce, when a listener did not bring his hands together at all, the Goat socked him. Dave Carew, who owned the place, chided him *nd made it clear he would tolerate no m°ro such violence. Dfcve was an ex-cop, had been discharged from the fate for*kl!!- lng a man without valid reason, and was tough. A nightly patron of the plaoe was a mysterious fellow we all called Charlie Pabst. A table was reserved for torn. He was always alone. He would drink only beer. The waiter was ordered to stack all the empties on bis table, and not until it was completely covered would he leave. Something Margie had Aing struck a chord in Charlie's heart. He broke out into continuous, conspicuous applause. He even stood up and banked his palms together. Up leaped the Goat. He walked over to Charlie and shouted: “You’re clappin’ too much. It ain’t becus you like the stagin'. You got other idees!” Whereupon he floored Charlie. Dave picked hjs pet customer up and spoke soothingly to him. Then he went back of the bar and reappeared With a baseball Dat which he used for crushing ice and disorderly conduct. He strode over to the Goat and said: “Next time you lay a hand on anybody to this joint, IU scramble the insides of your thick skull And what’s more, 111 fire Margie.” Few people talked that way to Duffy and survived to see another sun rise over Lake Michigan But Dave had the bludgeon poised and stood at Just the right distance to use it at Us mo* effec tive range. Moreover, the thought of Mar gie opt of a job, where he could nt sit and ltoton and adore her. was a damper against desperate ac tion. TTie Goat hesitated one moment Then he got out of his chair turned, and shuffled out of the place. On the street, it vu long past midnight, he looked up and down. 000 legal battle against the Govem destitute tJte todisns Thp stery made the front pans two years ago.
