The invitation was for everyone who visits the city to come to the Ex cftftfrge, see it in action, and learn why it exists and what it stands for. r .IT In making this invitation to the public, the Ex change’s president said, “Here is the story of what became us fee nickles, the dimes and the dollars that your father and your grandfather saved, how the investors of yester day supplied the money to build the American industry of today. And how investors of today continue to share those opportunities and responsibilities, as they supply thf money for new products, better services and greater production. We have tried to show how the savings of many people, the enterprise of nlany men of vision, have jjiven us material benefits beyond belief and have forged fee weapons with which we and the free world are fight ggr to keep that freedom.” An announcement of this character must come as a • fjjtfprise to those who still believe that stock exchanges* f are secretive and mysterious institutions, where hard visaed “insiders” carry on all manner of financial mani pulations which are wholly beyond the capacity and pow <ST6f the ordinary run of men and women. Actually, the SKhanges exist to serve the many—ndt the few. Their if&ost important customers, are the millions of people of Rferage means who periodically invest part of their sav in the shares of the concerns which employ us, sup ply us with all manner of goods and services, and main —lain our living standards. The exchanges are tangible ex pressions of the iact that fifee people produced our wealth : —and free people own it. ~ Who’s Boss Most of the “budget” news that comes out of Wash ington is bad so tar as the taxpayer is concerned—some body in the government has thought up a new scheme __ftt milking him dry. • ■>k > ; But now and then there is a ray of light. For instance, reported feat the Hoicse Intei-idr Appropriations Sub *-»coimnittee has decided that rift* new Federal funds for du "T pirate electric transmission lines should be appropriated —fry Congress. Instead, in the view of most Subcommittee .members, power from government plants should be distrib ■ uted, whenever possible, over the existing lines of the business-managed utilities, co-ops, or municipalities. ; ~ It is also said that the Subcommittee was strongly Impressed by organised labor’s position on the socializa tion of the electric industry. Both AFL and CIO groups have gdne on record against further socialization, and in ftfyor of private enterprise in this field. it is obvious that the construction of duplicate power -lines represents a flagrant and inexcusable waste of the "people’s money. Moreover, it represents an equally flag rant waste of scare labor and critical materials. The In . t£fior department, however, seems hell-bent on social ' -«atibn no matter how much is wasted, or what* the es- Jget is on the strength and security of the country. It’s high time Congress recognized this fact and showed In - ’ terior in no uncertain way who’s boss. m . 1.--. . . . ■ - Frederick OTHMAN WASHINGTON—What gods on iiCthe cranlums of Newbold Mor- Oriental associates, to me. is a BUI puzzle.

Then he became president of it, though the Chinese put up the millions to buy United’s boats. He was a white-haired and portly little man, who went on to say that later he sold his 32 worth of stock to the Chinese for 310,000. This they turned over to Morris’ charity foundation. Certainly, said Lenfest. the S. S. Kettleman Hills and the S. S. St. Christopher were hauling kerosene in 1947 from Cos tanza, Rumania, to Dairen, Man churia. Bo what? His agents had asked the State Department and it said It had no objection. Nobody, apparently, objected, ex cept the Economic Cooperation Ad ministration, which had* put up the money indirectly for the ships in the first place and somehow had the feeling that It had been skunk ed.

The witness be fore a Congressional Committee who is sure that all men are liars, ex cepting himself, must be careful that he has not forgotten what he said. Thq ordeal by slander is fear ful; but the cause for slander is generally of one’s own making. The enormous yolume of the Lat timore hearings before toe McCar ran Committee makes trying and on the whole dull reading because the learned professor fights the facts and resorts, for page after page, to arrogant vituperation. However, it is my function to toil through volume after volume of hearings to discover what he ac tually said. I find that Lattimore has contra dicted himself .an extraordinarily large number of times. "Asiaticus” is the pseudenym for an important Communist whose re lations with international Commun ism have been fully established. Robert Morris, counsel for the committee, asked: "Mr. Lattimore, have you testi ‘ fied in executive session before this committee that you did not know Asiaticus to be a Communist and in your opinion he was a so cialist? "Mr. Lattimore. I believe I did, yes.” Lattimore was then shown the testimony. To that he replied; "Yes, my statement in that tes timony was, ‘I didn't know he was a Communist. I would have said, speaking as of the late 1930’5, that I would have thought he was pos sibly a socialist, but not a Commu nist.’ “Mr. Morris. All right. Mr. Lat timore, did you not testify in execu tive session before this committee that you did not know that Asiati cus was a. Marxist? . . . "Mr. Lattimore. . . . May I add there that this was many years ago, and my memory may not have been perfectly accurate. Also 1 would like to add that I certainly did not consider myself then and don’t consider myself evtir) now . an authority on who is a Marxist and who isn’t.” Lattimore then got into an ar gument about what he knew many yekrs ago, apparently forgetting that the record to which the com mittee counsel referred was made on July 13, 1961. Mr. Lattimore did not have to go back in his memory to the 1930’s or even to the 1940'5. The date when the statement in conflict was- made, under oath, was July 13 % 1951 and was being ques tioned on February 29, 19521 We come here to a curious thing. The Third International used to issue a Journal called "Interna tional Press Correspondence,” gen erally referred to as “Imprecorr.” It was the authoritative paper of the Communist movement, affecting all countries in the world. It was Issued in several languages. No man could possibly have regarded himself as an expert on China In the 1930's without reading “Im precorr” closely, because the Com munist movement in China was a developing public force and the best documentation of it was in "Im precorr.” I, for Instance, subscribed to it for many years. But not Lat timore, who 4s supposed to be one of the foremost American authori ties on China. This is what he said at the hearings; "Mr. Lattimore. . , , May I add at this tone that I doubt very muoh whether I knew in the 1980's that there was such a thing as Imprecorr.” About Asiaticus, Lattimore testi fied: “Mr. Morris. . . . Did you know that Asiaticus had written a book published in Berlin under Commu nist auspices entitled “From Shang hai to Canton’? . , . ;Did you know that he had written the book ‘From Shanghai to Canton’ from your own knowledge? '"Mr. Lattimore. Not from my own knowledge, no. ‘Mr. Morris. Did you read the book? "Mr. Lattimore. No. “*fr. Morris. What names did you know Asteticts by? Did you know him by the name of Shlppe? ‘Mr. Lattimore. Shlppe, or Ship per, yea/ "Mr. Morris. Hans Mueller? "Mr. Lattimore. Hans Mueller? I don’t think I did. "Mr. Morris. Any other name? ■W.

Except Of senators, the reff, queetion-i-the security of sight of. Here’is Uje story, of the debate over bringing Ike back from Paris. - Well before the New Hampshire primary, President Truman sent word to Eisenhower through Aver ell Harrlman, inviting him back to Washington to testify on aid to Europe. This was at a time when Eisenhower supporters were wring ing their hands over the danger of his defeat and privately urging Ike to come home. Truman’s plan to bring Ike home, therefore, dove tailed right into the plans of Sen ators Lodge and Duff and Gov ernor Dewey. Until New Hampshire they were strong for It. But suddenly, after Ike’s victory In New Hampshire, they had a change of heart. Suddenly they fig ured their man could win without coming back to the U. S. A. Sud denly also they decided that the nsk of having Ike testify on the controversial question of foreign aid was such that he should remain In Paris. That was why Senator Lodge, the Eisenhower campaign, manager, vot by -proxy in toe Foreign Relations Committee to keep Ike in Paris; also why Smith New Jersey, an Eisenhower Republican, did like wise. GEORGE SAYB NO No matter what think of Harry Truman, however, in this ease involving the aU-impoi?,aqft question of foreign policy, he play ed the game straight. Truman’s main Idea is to get foreign aid passed. ’ Having already Invited Eisenhow er to eome home and testify, h« assumed this would be done. So also did-the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who, until last weekend, were mak ing plans for Ike’s arrival. However, some White House ad visers thought It would be more diplomatic to have the two Con gressional committees which must pass on foreign aid extend the official invitation to Elsenhower rather than have the President “or der” him back. So Benator McMahon of Con necticut, one of toe ablest admin istration leaders in toe Senate, picked up the ball and demanded that the Senate Foreign Relations committee, of which he is a mem ber, extend the invitation. When the vote came up in a closed-door session, however, poli tics obviously dominated the de bate. Senator George of Georgia led the drive to block Ike’s return, probably because George, first. Is strongly in favor of cutting the CUTIES I tsMISI p 6 P | Kr ** y‘l... mutual-security funds; also, though a Democrat, friends say that he loans toward Taft for President. Though George cooperates with his Georgia colleague, Senator Russell, there never has been too much love lost between them. Significantly, both groups of Re publicans were against having Ike return. The pro-Taft Republicans feared Ike might make political hay by winning over the Congres sional committee; while the pro- Eisenhower Republicans figured there was no use taking the chance of having their man get mixed up in the J[oreign-aid controversy. McMAHON PLEADS Senator McMahon opened the closed-door debate by urging that it was Eisenhower’s duty to in form the Senate how muoh money it should vote for the security of Europe. “There’s no politics being played here, at least on my part.” de clared McMahon. "I realize that General Elsenhower’s prominence in the Republican party has increased since his victory in. New Hamp shire. But before the New Hamp shire results wqre known, ft sug- this committee that Els enhower be invited here. “ timed my proposal to avoid the intrusion of politics. We have every reason to seek the General’s views, since three-fourths of ,thls 371100,000,000 appropriation —’ or about *59000,000,000—wi1l be gpent through his command,” "I’m against this proposal in any form,” snapped Senator George. He continued with a lengthy Argument that Elsenhower’s testimony would be “politically misunderstood.” "Well,” I’m for It,” announced Tobey of, New Hampshire, who is an ESsenhower Republican, but also strong for foreign aid. “Who knows more about this matter, the finan cial and military aspects of NATO, than. General Elsenhower? Os all witnesses we should seek out for advice while considering this tre mendous appropriation, Eisenhower is the most Important.” Tobey later tangled with Chair man Connally. when the latter re fused to vote, leaving toe count 7-5 against inviting Ike. “I would like to know how toe chairman voted on this matter,” needled the New Hampshirite. "I didn’t,” replied Connally. “Aren’t you compelled , under the rules to tote, like the rest of us?” inquired Tobey caustically. "No,” scowled the Mg Texan, who, thanks to a primary battle> has now become more the Senator of the Lone Star State than of toe United States.

Please remember that Insane pa tients don’t worry about their minds! Besides, they don’t read educa tional columns Uke this to learn whether they have' a neurosis or a psychosis. Nor do they visit a physician to have a diagnosis made! Some mem ber of the family may take them to a doctor, but they don't seek one of their own accord. But people with neurosis often worry lest they may be going in sane. They even get so frightened • that their digestion becomes dis turbed and many other nervous symptoms sprout. They may shop around volun tarily among several doctors, con stantly seeking new advice: Such behavior in itself shows that they are quite sane.
