Moscow. His book, “A widow on Red Square” is a vivid account of his observations of the plain people he met in the theater, opera, museums, churches and libraries where he was pre nutted to enter, people wh6 were not unfriendly tnough the hate-American campaign was at its height during his stay. Rounds found, and his observation offers a most re assuring base for the present policy of encouraging libera tion of peoples under communist rule, that the hate - America campaign was more evident in public than in private gatherings. His conclusion is that the average Russian is quite immune to the poison of the party line. They did not hate him in the prescribed manner. It is doubtful if many of them hate us as their masters might wish* Fantastic Paper Targets The post-Korean build-up of supplies for the armed forces resulted in the Amy now owning or on order “goods Raving a value substantially greater than the total val ue of all inventories in the hands of all manufacturers of all things within the United States,” Roger M.

V ZckcUkif ASIA * During the entire period, from 1939 to 1953, it has been American, British, and French policy that Europe must come first. Even , during World War .11, General Douglas MacArthur was left with out adequate munitions because Europe came first. Even during the Korean War, our own troops were inadequately supplied because of the aid given to Europe. Yet, Asia holds the central spot and all the decisions of the great statesmen make no difference whatsoever. The course of events determines that the center of our warld is that ancient continent. Asia’s vast hordes of humanity have surged forward or have been held • in servitude with the swing of the pendulum of history.' But this has always been true in the past; whether free or conqured, the Asiatic people never' associated their cultures with their govern ments. Therefore, when conqured, they retained, nurtured and pre served their indigenous cultures. Thus, in every Asiatic country, traditional roots remain deep and dominate the minds and character of the people, irrespective of the externals of immediate political and economic -conditions. It Is not at all surprising that all .the sur viving religions of the world are Asiatic in origin. Whether one speaks ol China or India or Pakistan or any other Asiatic country, one recognizes peoples whose central point is not * things but an eternal, endless, pur poseful life related to God, each of these peoples conceiving his God differently but always to one end —the ultimate perfection of the spirit of man. There is a negativeness in Asiatic life. Today passes, but life never passes. Lao Tze might be quoted in Witter Bynner’s profoundly beautiful translation: “Man at his best, liketemter. Serves as he goes along: Like water he seeks his own level, The common level of life. Loves living close to the earth, Living clear down in his heart, And for blpcklng no one’s way No one blames him.” x Life in the West is never con ceived as leaving so much to fate, f but the Asiatic cahnot feat, death, l-because to him it te always part lift. The result f-1 slve view was better evidenced ih -the theories and practices of Gan dhi, which somehow did bring a bout the liberation of India, than in the Westernized ideas and prac tices of Sun Yat-sen, which suc ceeded in bringing to the Chinese people enslavement. We, Americans, face Asia now as our principal problem. Our sons have, died in so many parts of Asia] They are still In Korea and Japan;, we must defend the Phili ppines; ,We are moving rapidly in , to Indo-China; we are supporting | the British in Malay. And on the ’ other side of Asia, we sye deeply involved in the affairs of Iran, SaucU Arabia, Israel, etc. these peoples, we cannot apply Western criteria or we shall fail with them altogether, as we have already failed after more than a century of experience in China. For it Is not things, mo tion, action, force,’ power that ap peal to the Asiatic 'mind. It is contemplation upon conmic ideas, upon what is man and what is his relationship to tt*e universe and to the creative Odd, who, as some ' - Asiatics believe and some do not, directly dominates everything that happens. : The Rwsians hhve with great ; skin thrown Marxism into this ’ realm of ideas. We, Americans, have described things, their pro duction, their wealth to peoples who accepted a beggar, a eamel * a child, bom in a monger ds prophets or even as a manifes tation pf God.

After almost one year of diplomatic dickering the United States is concluding an agreement with Dictator Franco for air and naval bases on Spanish soil. But in order to pin Franco down, U. S. negotiators had to promise secretlp an additional, fu ture $400,000,000. This is on 1 top of the $187,500,000 already voted him by Congress, and will make' a total of $537,500,000. One factor which nudged Franco’s elbow was knowledge that part of his money the $125,000,000 voted by Congress last year was about to expire. If the contract wasn’t signed by June 30, Franco knew that this $125,000,000 went right blck into 'the treasury to help bal ance the Eisenhower budget And Franco isn’t much Interested in balancing Ike’s budget or anyone’s except his own. This is another chapter in' gov ernment by Washington attorneys and illustrates how certain law yers representing foreign embas sies sometimes exert mpre in fluence than the State Depart ment. One year ago, both the State Department and the White House, which under the Constitution ore entrusted with the conduct of U. S. foreign affairs, informed Con gress that they did not want or need bases in Spain. They ponited out that we had all we could do to equip bases in France, Eftgland and Western Europe under the NATO pact, and that we were already short on artillery and munitions. If supplies Went to non-NATO Spain, they said, it would- create ill will both in Korea and among our NATO allies to whom deliveries already were behind schedule. PAYS TO HAVE LAWYERS They also pointed out that Franco was not willing to take the Spanish army outside Spain; that the aiming of Spain would make it appear to France and England that we were going to abandon them, in case of attaek.' and move to Spain. From behind the safety of the Pyrenees, the French and British argued, the United Stales would serenely watch the conflict, while the rest of Europe was swept over by Red Invaders. f Despite this, Franco got $125,- 000,000. It was voted him by Con gress right over the heads of the President and Secretary of State. Chief reason for this wits the persuasive influence of the Spanish lobby and Franco’s two attorneys, Charles Patrick Clark and Max Truitt, son-in-law Os dx-vlce presi dent Barkley. Clark, who carefully complies with the Foreign-Agents Registration Act, wqs paid $lO3,- ■ ■ cun** -j jjm m / I l >N 499.55 by Franco in 1951 and $79,- 500 in 1952, according to.the Justice -Department’s listing of foreign agents. Max Truitt, who also reg isters under, the act, was more mo dest. He got only $22,000 in 1951 and SII,OOO in 1952. However, Clark helped to in fluence Congressional speeches, played gin rummy with key con gressmen, threw fancy parties, ran the gamut of the social lobby to get Congress to vote money for Spain. He succeeded. That was why Franco, previously grandiloquent in his promises of naval and air bases, suddenly got cagey, refused to grant those bases. He figured he could go over the heads of the White House and the State Department once again thanks to the new Washington, system of foreign affairs by in fluential attorneys. \ It now looks as if he was right. Another $400000,000 is due to come his why. ' , ■ SANDWICHED SPEAKER Senator Taft was speaking at a Yale Club dinner, along with new OOP Sen.

That’s the place where a child's entire attitude toward education is made. A poor tea cher thers can rain his life'. Case G-382: When Danny was 8, we were talking about his school subjects. „ “How are you getting along?” I asked him. “Oh, I’m one of the first ones through with .my work, so.I get to , go On errands for my teacher,” be proudly answered. “But I’m not so good at reading, I wish you’d help me some more with those flash cards.” HOME TUTORING When Danny started to school, he was very shy. Our five children consisted of two pairs of boys, close in age, with Judy being in tne middle. George was the oldest child, with Phillip Ueir? 15 months younger. Then came J idy. Daniel was fourth, with David just a year younger. Although Daniel was thus the fourth child in the entire sequence, he reacted*very much like an oldest child, for he was' the older of our second pair o| boys. Daniel and GeoTge, therefore, were much alike, while Philip and David resembled each other great For the older chilcV of a pair tends to be somewhat shv and slower in his language development, so Danny was simply true to type. INTROVERTS VS. EXTROVERTS Philip and David, being second in their pairs, made friends more readily, and, had little or no. so cial shyness. They are also more gifted in language. They talked easily and read flu ently. Besides, they Were more im itative, and were inclined to rely on the older brother of their pair for many decisions.

When we were first married 10 years ago, she seemed jealous (for no reesih), which maybe started us off oaniy. We’ve always had emotional con 'fllct. If we are visiting or working a tension overcomes me •'ic the point of exasperation. But apart from her I feel easier. Undoubtedly, I have many faults, some of which may be aggravated la this relationship. But, I had a normal childhood and used to en joy life in general: now it' scams blighted and dreary.
