Umstead's Bonus Stand:
Maybe Not Popular,
M :
Surely Courageous
A bonus for veterans has been made an issue of the
governor’s race in North Carolina, with Hubert Olive 1
'coming out in favor of a statewide vote on the question ’
jand William Umstead opposed. *
J; The fact of Olive’s approval does not mean that the .
Legislature will submit the issue to the people in the event
jof Olive’s election, nor does Umstead’s disapproval mean :
•that-the Legislature will not submit it in the event of J
XJmstead’s election. Legislatures do not always follow the
fishes of the Governor. I
IT' There will be the matter of fairness to consider. World '
War II veterans would get a lion’s share of such a bonus,
because there has been considerably more mortality a- '
mong those who served in World War I. And what about 1
Korean veterans? Just a police action, so no bonus? ,
There will be the question of need to consider. In this s
day of high prices and high wages how much real differ- i
ence to the individual veteran will two or three hundred >
; dollars make? It won’t send a child to college and it won’t 1
make much of a dent in the average home or farm mort- ,
gage.
:
There’s the question of impact on the State’s finances i
to consider. Can the State stand another $200,000,000 bond <
issue? Wbbld the good accuring to veterans from such a
bond issue be more or less than the damage such a bond (
issue would do to the State’s ability to build new schools, ;
;provide relief for the needy, construct roads, erect hos- <
• pitalS, and so forth?
Z -And there are so many veterans in North Carolina •
4ha£the business of paying them a bonus would be more or ;
less -like taking money out of their left hand pocket and ,
putting it in their right.
Maybe the corporations and not the individuals would
pay the bulk of the bonus. So there are higher taxes on
corporations at a moment when they are flowing South
in bigger numbers than ever before. What will be the im
pact of such higher taxes on the proportion of these new
industries North Carolina will receive? How many North
Carolina veterans would use the bonus money to move
their families to South Carolina or Georgia in search of
better employment conditions?
• All these questions must have flashed through Can
didate Umstead’s mind when he said he would not com
mit himself to favor the bonus vote. His stand will not gain
him any votes. It was a stand against Santa Claus. It is
not a popular stand but it was a courageous one. (From the
Fayetteville Observer).

What brought up the subject of
this seagoing research was arrival
Os Navy’s docs on Canitol Hill to
Congress for *116.500 000 to
carry on their medical activities next
year. They brought with ’em a
b§pk. showing all the researches
they were doing.
1 Ren. Antonio M. Fernandez (D..
N. M:) thumbed through it and
began to read in a wondering vqice:
“• .. ..field studies involving the
application of scientific develop
ment* within the Naw have
measured the chewing abiittv of

The Shepard car hit the Jackson

car was damaged about SIOO. Both

Division. The trouble, said he, is
that when a gob has teeth missing
on one side of his face, their rer
placement with artifical tuskq
mounted in gold in an exceedingly
expensive proposition.
The Navy gave the full treat
ment to all snaggle-toothed sailors
during the last war. They walked
out of the dentists’ offices with
some of the most magnificent store
boughten choppers ever built.
And where did they wear ‘em?
In their nants pockets, mostly,
Cant. Shilling said.
So the Navy got to worrying
about this apparent waste of
bridgework de luxe. At Tufts Col
lege in Massachusetts and Great
Lakes Training Station near
Chicago It began lining up seamen
with missing teeth, distributing
peanuts, and ordering them to
chew.
Each sailor chewed his peanut 20
times. Then the attending dentists
examined the size of the pieces
of chomped peanut as well as the
teeth that did the job.
“They found that people chewed
very much according.to their right
or left-handedness,” the captain
continued. “If the Jaw was com
pletedly normal, you chewed
moetly on the right side. If vou
were right-handed. If you had a
number of missing teeth on one
ride, vou automatically shifted your
chewing to the opposite side and
did a verv efficient Job .of it.”
This indicated that all the naval
bridge work wasn’t exactly neces

These Days
LATTIMORE FORGETS
It is amazing, when one reads
the transcript of the McCarran
Committee’s testimony, how much
Owen Lattimore could forget. The
Johns-Hopkins professor had an
office in the State Department
Building (that is, the old building
now used as a White House an
nex), but he seems to have a foggy
notion of how he used it and what
he did there.
It is all very unimportant except
that Lattimore’s defenders have
painted a picture of a paragon of
virtue who is being abused by Sen
ator Joe McCarthy and Senator
Pat McCarran. while he grew a
halo around his noble head.
The testimony actually does not
read that way. He was asked
whether he had had a desk in the
State Department. He said. yes.
Then this colloquy took place:
“Mr. Morris. Were you a close
associate of Lauchlin Currie?
“Mr. Lattimore. No. I would not i
say close. My work brought, me into
considerable contact with him for :
a very short period.
“Mr. Morris. Did you in fact 1
have an office in the SJate Depart- i
ment Building with Lauchlin Cur- '
rie? ’
“Mr. Lattimore. I had the , use I
of one room of Mr. Currie’s offices
in that building."
However, he was living in Balti- ■
more and he only came over to '
Washington occasionally. It was 1
impossible to get him to say frank
ly how many da vs each week he 1
used that room. This is the testi
mony:
“The Chairman. Answer the j
question propounded to you.
“Senator O’Conor. It would be ■
accurate to say you used it several :
times a week over a period of four 1
or five or six months?
“Mr. Lattimore. Yes."
Now, if you or I were given the
convenience of office room in the ;
State Department, we would not
only remember it, but we would :
tell our children and grandchildren
about it. But not Owen Lattimore! ,
He took such conveniences in his
stride. He testified in both execu
tive session and in the open ses
sion that his attendance* at that
office was “irregular and infre
quent."
However, the committee showed
him a Jetted dated June 12, 1952
that he had written to “Dear Mr.
Kizer.” In that letter he had said:
“My home address is as typed
above, and mv home telephone is
Towson 846-W. I am in Washing
ton about four days a week, and
when there can always be reached
at Lauchlin Currie’s office, Room
228, State Department Building;
telephone National 1414, extension
90.”
Also. Lattimore denied that when
Lauchlin Currie was awav he open
ed Currie’s mail. Lauchlin Currie
was one of President Roosvelt’s ad
ministrative assistants, and he has
been testified about adversely as a
foreign agent before this commit
tee. It was Lauchlin Currie who got
Roosevelt to appoint Lattimore to
be Chiang Kai-shek’s adviser. All
this is in the record.
So, after Lattimore denied that
when Currie was away, he, Latti
more, handled Currie’s mail, which
ordinarily would have Jo do with
White House business, the counsel
for the McCarran Committee con
fronted the professor with the fol
lowing letter which he had sent to
E. C. Carter, the head of the In
stitute of Pacific Relations:
“Dear Carter;
“Currie asked' me to take care
of his correspondence while he is
away and in view of your telegram
of today, I think I had better tell
you that he has gone to China on
a special trip. This news is abso
lutely confidential until released in
the press.”
Lattimore had forgotten about his
opening White House mail which
passed over Currie's desk as ad
ministrative assistant to the Presi
dent. All that he could say on the
subject was; “Obviously, my mem
ory was inaccurate.”
Then, this colloquy followed:
“Mr. Morris. That is written on
White House stationery, is it, Mr.
Lattimore?
“Mr. Lattimore. Yes, dictated to
Lauchlin Currie’s secretary.
“Mr. Morris. Are you acquainted
with the testimony before this
committee that Lauchlin Currie
aided an espionage ring in Wash
ington during the war?
“Mr. Lattimore. No, I don’t re
member seeing that.”
The professor forgot so much! In
. fact, as one goes through this tes
timony, it is difficult to discover
what Lattimore actually remember
! ed about what he did.

WHERRY* 60* ROUND
g T pßtw rutiON
PARIS Most of the newsmen
around Paris seem to think that
the most important story in Europe
is Eisenhower—when he will leave,
where he will speak, what he had
for breakfast. I don't think so. To
me, the most important story on
either side of the Atlantic today
is that the peace of Europe may
be within our grasp.
- Peace can be made or unmade
within the next few months. And
it’s unfortunate that Eisenhower is
leaving at this crucial time, when
a push here or his persuasive in
fluence there could make such a
difference for future war or peace.
The vital fact to be remembered
about Europe today is that for 80
years men have been marching in
to battle on either side of the
Rhien and now, for the first time
in 80 years, they plan to organize
on both sides of the Rhine under
one army wearing the same uni
form.
Eisenhower did not conceive this
idea of a unified European army.
The diplomats conceived it, not
ably Robert Schuman of France.
But Ike has given it is longest push
forward, and if the final push can
be given in the next few weeks it
will be more important to his
grandchildren than his becoming
president. That’s why future his
torians may write that Eisenhower’s
departure at this particular mo
ment influenced the future of
Europe for better or for worse and
for a long time to come.
MOSCOW FEARS UNIFIED
EUROPE
How strong the drive is toward
a unified Europe may be judged
by the drive of the men in the
Kremlin to head it off. Nobody
knows better than they what a
United Europe under one army
would do, first, to European de
fense, and second, to the fight a
gainst communism. That’s why
peace in Korea, elections in East
Germay, the evacuation of the Red
army from East Germany, even
the return of East Prussia to Ger
many all are involved in the Krem
lin’e efforts to block the new ac
cord between France and Germany.
It’s a race for unity by the allies
and a race against unity by the
Kremlin, with Moscow ready to
throw most of its most important
blue chips into the pot to block
the dreaded idea of France and
Germany defending each other
from the common enemy with a
common army.
Unfortunately, Moscow has some
potent allies—even including a few
in the United States. Here is a roll
call of the people and factors lined
up with Moscow to defeat the most
important step toward world peace
in eighty years;
ALLY NO. 1— is corruption in
the U. S. A. After World War I a
great leader, Woodrow Wilson, got
sick and with him sickened the
world’s aspirations for peace. Af
ter World War II the administra
tion in Washington swallowed too
CUTIES

i “Isn’t it wonderful how many things you can buy that *
coat leas than a quarter? Let me have twenty dollars,
dear!”
much corruption and became sick.
With that sickness evaporated its
prestige for leadership, its ability
to influence Foreign Policy, and its
power to obtain Congressional ap
propriations. Also another great
man got sick—Arthur Vandenberg
of Michigan, the Republican who
had kept his party from kicking
Foreign Policy all over the political
gridiron.
Mr. Truman, whose ideas on
Foreign Policy are excellent, may
never know how much he has hurt
his own great goals for peace by
failing to clean up the corruption
in his administration, and by let
ting public attention focus on that
corruption rather than on world
unity.
ALLY NO. 2 is French fear
and apathy. Though he lives with
a potential enemy across the bor
der and though his land has suf
fered two devastating invasions in
three decades, there is no man
more provincial than the French
man. And today, though most
French leaders are for unity with
Germany, the man in the street is
skeptical. “Do not arm Germany
with anything more than a wooden
sword,” he says.
The average Frenchman not on
ly fears Germany but he is apa
thetic about the whole business of
peace. He is like many Americans
today tired of paying High taxes,
against peacetime military con
scription. opposed to having Amer
ican or any foreign troops on
French soil.
ALLY NO. 3 is the German
Socialist. They are deadly opposed
to German rearmament of any
kind; in fact, German youth have
laid down in the streets to demon
strate against the proposed Ger
man army. So far, Chancellor Kon
rad Adenauer, who favors a Euro
pean army, has the majority of
West Germany with him, but his
margin of votes is dangerously slim.
ALLY NO. 4 is a religious one.
It’s the opposition of French So
cialists to a West European army,
which they claim would be an arm
of the Catholic Church.
FEARS ROME’S DOMINATION
Jules Moch, former French Min
ister of Defense and leading social
ist, outlined this view recently to
the American officers at shape. He
pointed out that Foreign Minister
Schuman and Georges Bidaiilt,
the French architects' of the
unified army, were strong leaders
of the Catholic Party, that Adenauer
was a leader of the Catholic Party
in Germany, that Premier Alcide
De Gasperi of Italy was trained in
the Vatican, and that the leaders
; of the Belgian government are
: strong Catholics. Therefore, the
members of the French Socialist
i Party, he said, were opposed to cre
i ating an army that might be dom
t inated by Rome.
5 The French Socialists, Moch said,
- were counting on Protestant Eng
- land to counterbalance this, but,

VENEREAL FACTS
You readers have probably no
ticed that I usually .stay away
from strictly medical problems, out
of courtesy to your medical column
ist.
But when personality is seriously
disturbed by medical worries or
mis-information, I don’t hesitate
to help clear up the difficulty.
There are two venereal diseases,
namely, gonorrhea and syphilis.
Gonorrhea is a pus disease that
usually attacks the urethra, which
is the tube that carries the urine
out of the body.
Within 4 to 7 days after exposure
to the germs, the patient may find
that it is so very painful to uri
nate, he or she actually screams
with agony.
The gonorrhea bacteria may also
attack a woman’s vagina and may
often ascend into her Fallopian
tubes, which then swell and be
come exceedingly painful. She goes
to bed and requires pain deaden
ing drugs, plus ice packs on the
lower abdomen.
Because the pus of gonorrhea
patients may occasionally drip on
toilet seats, it is always well to
exercise caution when using public
rest rooms.
Warn your children, too, for they
can catch gonorrhea in this man
ner before they are of kindergarten
age, although it is relatively un

hand early to help the bridegroom

brothers do often serve as b«j|

strongly favors this arrangement.
