C., under the laws of Congress, Act of March 3, 1879 Every afternoon, Monday through Friday County Board Feels Effects Os Centralized Controls The Harnett County Board of Commissioners has been getting a taste cf bureaucratic control and feeling the af fects of centralized control in our State government. It seems that our county fathers adopted a welfare budget of 531,200 for the year, which seemed to them to be reasonable and adequate to meet the needs of the in digent of the county. The same amount of money had been appropriated for the previous year. But the State Department of Public Welfare didn't like it, insisted that the county should appropriate an ex tra SIO,OOO of the taxpayers’ money this year. Under the policy, funds appropriated by the counties are matched by State and Federal "funds. The State bureaucrats promptly branded Harnett’s appropriation as “entirely inadequate’’ and threatened to deprive the county of State and Federal funds to which the ccunty is entitled. As a matter cf fact, the State did withhold State mon ey for administrative purposes from July until the present month. This was a club which the State held over the . county. Commissioner Herman S. Hoilowav, an able member of the board, properly observed, "It looks like the State Department is trying to ram a new budget down our throats.” Which is exactly what was happening. One point of contention was tnat tne State Board wanted salaries of county welfare employees raised. Our county commissioners properly took the position that they didn’t feel it fair to raise salary of welfare employees with out raising salaries of other county employees. Even the State bureaucrats couldn't find any argu ment to offset such a fair and just position as that. Finally, a representation of the State Department came down yesterday and the matter was settled, with the State relenting in its unreasonable position and abandon ing its high and mighty thfeats of withholding funds prop erly due the county. There has long been a feeling that entirely too much money is beir.g spent for welfare purposes in these times of prosperity, times which have led President Truman to tell the people that we’ve never had it so good before. Members of the county board no doubt snare the opin ion that welfare funds ought to be sliced—and drastically. But the point we're making is that the County of Harnett ought to be able to run its affairs without some bureaucrat in Raleigh telling our officials how and how much money they snould spend. Our county officials are in a better position to know how much Harnett County can afford tnan the folks in Raleigh will ever be able to know. This is just another sad example of hew we are rapidly surrendering our rights and priviliges to a centralized gov ernment in exchange for a mess of porridge. How much longer can the trend continue? Frederick OTHMAN WASHINGTON lt is bad bus iness to present a razor to a man with whiskers. A jug of rum to a fellow' who never touches the stuff. Or a cigarette box to a gent .who doesn’t smoke. He's likely to con clude you are a dope. If you’re working for him and this useless gift is in the nature of a red apple, he may even fire you . . So there was T. Lamar Caudle, who actually was fired a few weeks later by President. Truman from ■"his post as Assistant Attorney Gen eral, looking at the artistic sigh's in Florence. Italy. At his side was his well-heeled pal. Carmen D'Agos tino, the New York champagne mag nate. who’d footed the bill for their jaunt to Europe. “We were cut shopping." T La mar told the fascinated members of the House subcommittee investigat ing alleged monkey business in the Department of Justice. "I was look ing for a piece of lace for my little daughter. Rose. t’l noticed this jewelry store full of fancy silverware stuff and I turned to Carmen and I said it would be a nice thing to bring the chief a present to show him we were thinking of him.” Caudle said all this, of course, in accents so richly Southern that I'll make no attempt to rep-oduce them here: my principal problem was to understand him. “Carmen said he agreed this was a .fine idea.” Candle continued “And we went in and we saw this beautiful cigarette case that had been made for the Count of Rho desia. I think it was the Count of Rhodesia. They were all yapping Italian, Carmen and the clerks, and I can’t be rightly sure. But there was this gcrgeous box. It was just what we wanted.” Rep. Frank L. ChPlf <D. Kv ). the chairman, couldn’t understand why these d'stinguished tourists chose a cigarette box for President Truman, who does not smoke. “I didn't know whether the Pres ident smoked, drank, o- chewed." said T. Lamar. “But we. liked the locks of that box. We sure did. So we counted up what money we had Jest, satdng enough out for our ho tel bills and tips. Italy is the tip pingest country I ever was in. We had enough between us. so we bought it. “It came in a little pasteboard box. with a couple ot rubber bands around it. When I got back to Washington, the President was go ing to California (this was in the fall of 1951) and I didn’t have time to wrap it the way I would have liked.” So he wrote a little rote to the chief, stuck it under the rubber bands and forwarded it to the Pres ident. probably the only man in the White House who couldn’t use it. Then he waited for some sign of appreciation. On Oct. 23. it’ came: “Dear Lamar.” began President Truman. "Thanks a lot for the beautiful cigarette case. It is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen." This note struck Rep. Kenneth Keating ■ R.. N. Y.. as odd. In all previous letters to our giver of gifts, the President called him, "Dear Mr. Caudle.” “Yes. sir. that was the first time I ever received a letter from him beginning, “Dear Lamar.” agreed Caudle. “I really thought I was making some time." In reverse, as it turned cut. Less than a month later he was fired. There were other reasons for this than a bum choice in gifts, of course, but I still think Caudle would have been wiser to give the chief something he could use. Like a striped shirt, a trick hat, or a hand-carved metronome. Plenty Os Oil, But No Water LOCKHART. Tex. HP Lock hart State Park had a problem todav that would be considered a blessing anywhere except in Texas. In drilling for wa%r to fill the park swimming pool, drillers struck oil. “We’re going right down with the hope of getting water.” John Zweiner of the state Parks Board said. These Days £ckcLkif SO THAT’S SETTLED I see by the newspapers that Rita Hayworth and Aly Khan have spent , two nights under the same roof and are like doves. I could not help wondering why that was important. It appeared when news came that our Navy was blockading Korea and when Governor Stevenson issued the list of contributors to his secret fund. Perhaps the item was intended as comic relief from the serious ness of a campaign that is all bogg ed down in reports on funds. I also . saw that my good friend. Herbert Bayard Swope, gave Stevenson a total of 5250. which is very generous compared with Bennett Cerfs $lO. But why get excited over Rita Hay worth and Aly Khan sleeping un der one roof for two nights? Most husbands and wives do that all their lives. What makes news ap parently is not when a dog bites a man, but when a wife stays with her husband for a couple of days. Also, all this Rose business! Here are a couple of people who, it strikes me. got into the hands of lawyers. I am quite certain that were my wife ever to be so stupid as to leave me. she would take the silver, whatever it is worth. That gen erally belongs to a wife. And I am certain that I would be too asham ed to tell anyone about it. These people seem to be defeated by life. They are so concerned with material things that they have lost all sense of dignity. I met Mrs. Rose once or twice and Billy half a dozen times. They appeared to be very nice people, although not very impressive. Mrs. Rose. I re call, once got into a discussion with me on a subject in which I am a specialist and about which she could not possibly know anything except hearsay. But that happens to me all the time, and I wondered if she could cook a good dinner. Or, may be that is no longer necessary in a wife. As to Billy Rose, he seemed a quiet, frightened person who wanted to be liked. He was once a colum nist and it now appears that he hired ghost, writers to help him. Nobody should hire a ghost writer for anything; it is a fraud on the public. That is the way I feel about it, and nobody can change my mind. A ghost-written anything is a hoax unless the ghost writer signs his name. However, it is too often done for my objections to be effective. If ghost writers were liquidated, most public men would have to be silent. They are so often inaritculate. They ore like so many businessmen, who having amassed a fortune, want to be regarded as philosophers, but they have no philosophy. As bus iness men. they make sense: as ph: • souhers. they make nonsense. What it seems to me. ought to be done to such people like Mr. i”’rt Mrs. Rose and Mr. arid Mrs. Khan, or is it Alv. or what is his name? is to keep their names out of the news as. most other people’s names are out of the news. Who really eares about what they do? What does their presence in our lives mean? If they cannot learn how to live without becoming objects of scandal, let us for get about them and leave them to their own devices. So, Billy’s silverware was once used by George. 111. I’ve got a dish from which ' my dog. Brownie, drinks water which was never used by any other dog. How’s that for a record? Also. I have a piece of jade that somebody told me is thousands of years old, but nobody can prove it. Mavbe. it was man factored in Czechoslovakia as a genuine piece taken from the Ming Dynasty by a Manchu crook. Who knows and do you really care? I think that we ought to have a sense of proportion about these noisy people who insist upon pro jecting their private squabbles to the public view. If they did not ad vertise their fights, none of us would know anything about them. They must have told. Why were they so anxious that you and I should know about their arigefs and anguishes? So. Billy has lost his silverware and Rita has been asleep under one roof with the man to whom she is married. What are we to do about that? Shall vve give a cheer or wear sackcloth and ashes? Atlanta Journal Backs Stevenson ATLANTA OPS The Atlanta Journal today endorsed Gov. Adlai Stevenson for the presidency. In a lengthy editorial, the Journal, which backed Sen. Richard B. Russell before the Democratic convention, said that Stevenson’s “great promise is that he may be able once more to unify the Demo cratic party, or the principles of Woodrow Wilson and to restore at titudes wiiicli first claimed our loyalty as Democrats.” The Journal has never backed a Republican presidential candidate but the paper has at times been severely critical of the Truman administration and friendly in its editorial treatment of the Republi can candidate, Dwight D. Eisen hower. THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. C MISTER BREGER ftojx- IV'i S|oj„«c. In. . World t.jht, rt.trvtJ "You’ll simply HAVE to shave more —gossip has already started that we don’t get along!” a qi» wmw jS MERRY-SO-ROUND « T mw rtAttow Aboard the President's train. Some people have seemed quite surprised to learn that I was aboard Mr. Truman’s train. One lady in Utah remarked: "Do you really mean that the secret service let you on the train? I should think they would fear for the President's life!” However, it's very difficult to hate Harry in this, the twilight of his last term. Whether you agree with him or not, you have to ad mire the courage of a man who, at the age of 68. is up-early-and-out late making eight to ten speeches a day for a cause he so fervently believes in. This, I believe, will rate as a history-making trip, and I am glad to be aboard regardless of whether Harry loves-me-or-loves-me-not. People have become so accustomed to seeing Mr. Truman whistle - stopping round the country that they don’t realize just how historic his trip is. Never before in recent history has any outgoing president of the United States gone out and hit the hustings so vigorously for the man who may succeed him. When Calvin Coolidge was about to step down in favor of Herbert Hoover, he did not lift a finger to help Hoover’s election. Calvin stay ed in the White House and sulked. When Franklin Roosevelt ran for the first time in 1932, A1 Smith, his predecessor in Albany, did not be stir himself. When Teddy Roosevelt was succeeded by Taft in 1908, he worked for Taft, but at nowhere near the pace set by Harry Tru man. NATURES TURNOUT No, this trip, averaging eight to ten speeches a day made on behalf of a man who didn’t really want Harry to campaign for him, is definitely historic. And if the folks along the way haven’t always realized that history is being made, everything else seems to have turned out in full force to pay tribute to Harry Tru man's last transcontinental whistle stop. Never were the prairies more beautiful, the red peaks of the Rockies more majestic, the Here fords of Nebraska sleeker, the as pens of Colorado more yellow, Utah alfalfa greener and lowa corn more golden than on this farewell to the scrappy, sometimes injudicious President of the United States. Even the weather, which has not always smiled on Ike Eisenhower, has been kind to Harry. No rain has marred his crowds or dampened his spirits. As a matter of fact, I don’t think anything could dampen Harry’s spirits. I have watched General Eisenhower look grim and weary General MacArthur also had all after a few days of speaking. But sorts of enconiums heaped on his Truman, aged 68 against the gen-head by the president. He was kept eral’s 62, not only looks younger in Tokyo against the advice of than the general, but seems to get some state department officials, CUTIES beautyHm > “Eggs—oil—vinegar—Are you fixing my hair or tossing. -a salad?” — ——— .. younger the more he speaks. A CHANGED TRUMAN It’s a somewhat changed Harry Truman, however, that’s making this trip. Harry Vaughan, the be medaled military aide (my pal) is not along. There isn’t a single sign of military brass on the train; no cronies; no poker parties; only a group of young and earnest speech writers. This time Harry isn’t playing poker, he’s playing for keeps. talks privately about some of the mistakes he’s made. He wishes he hadn’t made them. He should have fired Howard McGrath months be fore, he says, and cleaned out the Justice Department so the cor ruption issue would not have been hung around the Democratic Party's neck. The president’s new seriousness has developed as he has watched the approaching spectre of possible Republican victory in November, and realizes that with it, most of the things he has fought for would vanish. There was a time when he did not think they would vanish, when he felt the general would continue the basic Truman policies. But for days now, as he has read Ike’s speeches, Harry has been appro aching a slow boil A boil which spilled over at Oakland, Calif., and Colorado Springs. That boil was not over Eisen hower alone. It was directed also at Truman’s own mistake at trust ing the military. No president in years has put so much faith in the military as Harry Truman; No president has appointed so many generals to top civilian positions. Harry liked them, admired them, even gloried in them. But one by one, they have belied his faith. Franklin Roosevelt made use of many generals, but he knew how to keep them in their place. Tru man, on the other hand, ever since Battery D days when he was an obscure artillery captain in the Missouri National Guard, has nur sed a secret worship of the brass. ROLLCALL OF GENERALS So he has surrounded himself with them. One of the first was Gen. Bedell Smith, whom he made ambassador to Moscow and head of Central Intelligence, only to have him make a deadly, damaging state ment about Communists in govern ment at the very heart of the campaign. Another was Gen. A1 Wedemeyer, whom Truman made ambassador to China. Truman liked him, trusted him. But Wedemeyer became an active campaigner for Senator Taft. Walter WincheU 4 New agl York «• wmom ATT’N FBI (Part V) J. Wechsler has been editorially directing military campaigns in style. The New York Post’s Gen. Pinko devoted numerous editorials to analyzing and criticizing the U. S. global strategy. He has deplored the wisdom of Gen. Eisenhower as well as Gen. MacArthur. And he contemptuously condemned the spy-fighting tactics of the FBI Since his counsel is accepted by Gov. Stevenson, the public interest demands a detailed examination of Wechsler’s peculiar "military” rec ord. There are strange circumstan ces surrounding his Army induc tion and release from the armed forces. Aver 10 million Americans en tered the U. S. military services in World War 11. Over 300 000 never came home.. How many soldiers had it as soft as Wechsler? Back in 1941. the N. Y. Post editor was 25 and childless. His wife was self supporting. Nevertheless, he was not inducted into the armed forces until 1945—after VE Day!;..Wech sler obtained a cozy “military” post —serving as a public relations offi cer. After coffipleting 50 missions over a typewriter—where the sole danger involved was falling off a swivel chair—he returned to civi lian life. His "military" career last ed one year. If physical defects prevents Wechsler from joining the Army in 1941, why was he healthy enough to serve in 1945? How he managed to stay out of the armed services for so many years demands an of ficial investigation and public ex planation. Wechsler received a brief indoc trination after VE Day at Fort Lee and was assigned to the Division of Cartels and External Assets in Germany. His unit was under the direction of the Treasury Dep’t. J. W. has descried his "military" chore: “I was a press agent,” When Wechsler testified under oath on July 15th, he said this a bout joining the Treasury Dep’t unit: "I was brought there by Col. Bernstein whom I had known slightly in Washington and mv bro ther knew much better” ... in fluence piddling is against the law! It is important to note again- Herert Wechsler. the New York Post editor’s brother, has been a member of the International Juri dical Association. That outfit was cited as a Communist-front bv the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities. J. Wechsler’s queer “military” career becomes on further examin ation. After Col. Bernstein was re leived. Dora Schiff’s editor served under one named Russell Nixon. Wechsler testified in July, 1952: “I knew Nixon was a Communist.” Knowing Nixon was a Commu nist who held a strategic post— what did Wechsler do about \V> Did he publicly protest? Did he in form military or civil authorities— verbally or by letter—that a mili tary unit was commanded bv a Red? Wechsler’s reply to such vital queries was offered at a pre-trial examination in July, 1952 It was a simple and significant: “No”. (Militant anti-Communist, eh?) Dora Schiff’s editor added that his sentiments about Russell Nix on. the man he knew to be a Com munist, “were verv well known to newspapermen.” What are the names of those newspapermen? Did they expose Nixon’s Communist record? Why didn’t Wechsler trans mit his information to military or civilian authorities? These vital questions remain unanswered. However, one overpowering fact is clear: Part of Wechsler’s “mili tary" career consisted of serving as a press agent for a man he knew was a Communist! (What’s he now —a "former” Communist”?) and because Truman insisted on it. Then he, too, turned against his commander-in-chief. Another was Gen. Lucius Clay, who was given civilian control of Germany, a job rightfully belong ing to the State Department. But General Clay, a Georgia Democrat, is now a major braintruster for the Republican high command. However, Eisenhower, Truman thought, would be different. He had driven through the streets of Ber lin with Ike, looked up to him, admired him, told him he would help him become president. Privately Truman was not dis pleased when Eisenhower won the nomination in Chicago. He was confident foreign policy would re main on a bipartisan, even keel. But when the general embraced Taft, then Jenner, then McCarthy: And when one-by-one he began to desert the principles he had stood for in Europe,- Harry really hit the, boliing point. And when he boiled over, It was not only at Eisenhower, but at generals in general. Tried This Sale On Wr6ng Person CINCINNATI, O. —(IP)— A gen erous fugitive from Tennessee au thorities sat in a cell today and FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 10, 1952 The Worry Clinic fl®p By Dh. GEORGE W. CRAKE "% THE JUDGES IN OUR COURTS DESERVE GREAT PRAISE FOR THEY STILL RETAIN THEIR BELIEF IN HUMAN NATURE DESPITE HAVING TO SIT DAY AFTER DAY AND LISTEN TO SUCH FEUDING BETWEEN KIN FOLKS AS THAT DESCRIBED TODAY. SAVE THIS CASE RE CORD TO CORROBORATE YES TERDAY’S IN DEFENSE OF AD OTING CHILDREN. Case E-378: Alan G„ aged 38, is a prominent California attorney. “Dr. Crane, an interesting case was tried in our court not long ago,” he informed me. “An elderly lady of 69 was dying in a local hospital. Yet the latter’s two married daughters and he adult son, all in the 40’s themselves, got into a fight at the mother’s bed side. , “Apparently, the argument star ted over who should give their dying mother her medicine. “The brother and one sister at tacked the other sister. They blacked her eyes; then kicked and beat her into insensitivity. “She later sued them for SIO,OOO damages. The case certainly illu strates your oft stated point that blood kinship holds no magic. "Let’s hope the dying mother was in a coma so she couldn’t have been heartbroken as a result of this deathbed grawl between her own grown children.” HATEFUL CHILDREN Yesterday 1 told you that the true parent-child bond is purely a spiritual matter. I recommended that the young couple described yesterday, might, very profitably adopt the blue-eyed 2-year-old Freddy. This unfortunate case today in directly proves the point that blood kindship holds no magic. Nor does it weld people closely together in love and devotion. Cain killed his brother Abel. King David’s son tried to kill David and seize the throne. And today there are numerous cases of jealousy and quaxreling be tween adult brothers and sisters, even at the bedside of their dying parents. Certainly it is very common to §y America's Foremost Nlllllllppr persona! Affairs Counselor WOMAN IS DISMAYED BY HUSBAND’S CONSTANT BICK ERING WITH THEIR ELDER SON; SPOUSE IS JEALOUS OF HER LOVE DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am 38, my husband Steve is 43, and we have been married 18 years. We have two sons Don, 17, and Ned, 12. The problem is Don and his dad. Don is going through the adole scent phase when parents should be patient and understanding (so I was taught); but my husband says at least once a week, “I am going to kick the so-and-so out.” I’d never get over it if he did; Don may be sent to war in another year. My husband is very jealous of my love. He has a very insecure feeling because of his mother a very jealous, mean minded wo man, whose parents didn’t speak to each other for 20 years, though they lived together. He thinks there’s nobody like me, says I’m so pretty, tells me he loves me, etc.; but he picks at me continually about Don, and has tantrums dur ing which he calls me every bad name in the book. At times the boys hear him. Once when Don was 15, his father flew into a rage, went to Don’s room and was beating him around the head with his fists. The younger boy was scared into hysterics, so I intervened (which I seldom do) and Steve turned on me. Then he flung out. slammed the door, smashed the glass, grabbed an axe and finished the job, before driving off in his car. Don hid out, fearing his return; and decided to lodge witty a riding poster. He got pneu monia njbths later and the quarrel was patched up temporarily. But such upheavals are more or less continuous. Recently there was another ex plosion. One of Don’s friends, here with show horses, was sharing Don’s room for some days. Steve got profanely furious with me when the bays came in at 11:30 one night and the next day I left a note un der Don’t plate, asking him to get rid of the guest. Now he is mad at me, as he figures the friend saw my note. Incidentally, I am work ing part time to help with special brooded over his recent sale of a 1951 automobile for SIOO. The fugitive met another man in a case Thursday to transact the sale. “You’re getting a bargain” he said as he accepted ttye SIOO. 1 “And you’re under arrest,” re plied the buyer, an off-duty pa trolman. The man admitted later he stole the car in Mary^nd. find them starting feuds as soon as the heir looms and property are to be parcelled out. LOVE A SPIRITUAL BOND Ihave seen adult children of the “flesh and blood” avriety, actually bring their aged parents to t»ie grave in shame and sorrow because the children wanted the property of the old folks, and couldn’t wait till death. Because the parents happened to be long-lived or might have re married, the children then tried to have them adjudged insane or competent in hopes of getting con trol of the old folks’ real estate. Don’t think thas such upgartc ful children are are. And don’t as sume that they have subnormal in telligence. Many of them are college graduates! It nauseates me to think of the mercenary feudingthat I have thus witnessed in my lifetime among people who were ‘‘flesh and blood” kin. These evil children have neve#, lifted their fingers to help amass the walth of their aged parents. The old folks alone had slaved and saved to lay aside that money for their sons and daughters. But the latter, like greedy vul tures, often cannot even wait till the death of their parents before starting the grand battle over an tiqcue chairs or cupboards, as well as real estate and stocks or bonds! PITY YOUR LOCAL JUDGES It’s a wonder our Judges have* any confidence in human nature at all after spending their working days listening to the petty wrang ling and quarrels between husbands and wives or between brothers and sisters. But such failures of parent-child relationships do not negate the fact that unselfish love can and does exist between parents and child ren. It simply shows that blood is NOT thicker than water. It proves the spiritual or psychological bonds are the only true evidences of kin ship. No adopted child would ever have treated this dying mother worse than her own children apparently have done, so have no hesitation in adopting youngsters. expenses. I just can’t stand this fighting. Why can’t I bring peace to the family? If I am at fault, please tell me. c. Cm JEALOUS FATHER » IS FAMILY ,CROSS DEAR C. C.: Your lengthy letter is here cut to an illustrative frag ment; hence my remarks may refer to data not published in this space. Now about the problem: As I get the picture, Steve himself is the family cross, in the sense that he displays a criild’s temperament and a man’s authority in the household. Steve’s present difficulty is that he falls short of the self-respecting®, maturity that a father needs, in-" order to act like a real parent to a man-size adolescent son. (Don is alreday six feet and looks at least 20, you say). But to complicate matters, Steve has always been gnawed riy a kind of grudge-jea lousy of his first-born son, it seems because as an infant and toddler and growing boy, Don nat urally absorbed much of your at tention, time and affection. As a lover-husband, Steve has« wanted you all to himself. He ' hasn’t matured sufficiently in feel ing and consideration to accept his own obligation to share devo tion, in rightful consideration o{ his son whose very existence he (Steve) begot. And to the extent that he has warred against Don’s natural needs of mother-love and your normal respose to that proper claim, he has forced you into a heightened defensive concern a bout th boy e— which he then®- labels “special favoritism,” and’’ which further inflames his jealousy. HE SEES SON AS RIVAL BUCK I gather the younger boy hasn’t been and never will be such a storm center inasmuch as Don serves as the lightning rod that draws his father’s senseless wrath, compounded of lifalong feelings of emotional frustration. Obviously Steve’s twisted attitude is rooted in an unsatisfactory, relationship#’' with his mother, who was victim of a similar history. Steve’s latter day fuming at Don’s experimental smoking and drinking copied after dad’s habits . In another expression of jealousy. In Steve’s mind, these aren't icee; they are a man% prerogaties and he Mindly defies son Don to “make like a man” while under his rule. In the circumstances, you are doing the best that any woman could do in standing by In love aneflij patience. It is oxiomatic that mar riage doesn't reform a man; and as Steve ie the troublemaker, he ought to work on himself, to try to become really a manly fetfier. For guidance, read Dr Alexander Magoun’s fine book, “Love and Marriage” (Harder <fc Brother*). • . .... 1 ..
