Horrors Old And New The Town “Watch Committee” of Stockport, Eng., says a REUTERS dispatch, has banned to unaccompanied children a revival showing of the Disney film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” because of the effect of “horrific” scenes on “tender young minds.” Before anyone laughs, let him ask whether these good British burghers are behind the times or ahead of them. Hardly behind the times, for the proscribed scenes the forest trees grabbing at Snow White and the wicked queen’s instructions to the assassin are but highly, graphic versions of passages commonplace in the folklore and fairy tales of the past 500 years at least. What did the wolf do to Red Riding Hood’s grandma? He ate her up. What was the giant going to do to Jack? “Grind his bones to make my bread.” What did Hansel and Gretel do to the old witch? Tipped her head-over-heels into the pot and boiled her. And some 19th-century grue someness was added to childhood diet as anyone can at test old enough to have been exposed to the wooden hor rors of the illustrated “struwelpeter” (“Slovenly Peter” or “Shock-Headed Peter” in the English translations). These reflections offer no vindication of latter-day “horror comics.” In fact, it may have been such comics which made the Stockport censors sensitive to the few lurid scenes in an otherwise beautiful and tender screen drama. At any rate, they have done something to bring in a bit of perspective. There is sturdy ground, of course, between the sac- of ‘‘Elsie Dihsmore” and today’s drugstore dread fuls in' which aft for children finds attractive expression. New ground is being plowed, every day. But there is much good ground lying fallow. Might not small fry of today take fire at Eugene Field’s invitation (cartooned and filmed) to fly To that land across the sea Where the Dinkey-Bird is singing In the amfalula tree! and at Edwin Lear’s challenge to sail “to the hills of the Chankly Bore” with the Jumblies even if Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a sieve? Many of them used to even before movies. From »• The Christian Science Monitor. WARSAW, Ky.

Republicans are taking seriously the split in their party. Heretofore such wise men as William Rogers would say, “Where Will they go?" —mean > ing that the conservative epublicans i must vote for Republicans by force ! of habit even if they have lost con -1 fidence in pheir party. Actually in a state like New Jer sey. a stay - at - home movement is in the making which may reach large proportions, and in New York State, as a result of the activities of the Dewey clique in Washington, a third party movement has only ' failed to develop thus far because of the objection to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., as a candidate for governor. If such a figure as James A. Farley or Judge Charles W. Froessel were nominated by the Democrats, many Republicans would vote against Dewey or ab stain from voting as s mark of ( protest. The really politically-minded lead- ( ers of the Republican party realise . what has happened to their party. , The interjection of Clark Cilfiord , in the effort to destroy Senator ; Joe McCarthy and the unbelievable , attitude of the usually mild and even courtly Senator Stuart 8y- ] mington, whose father - in - law, j James Wardsworth, was a truly ] great Republican leader, has shocked ] Republicans, even those who had formerly opposed McCarthy. The 1 feeling is that if the party is to 1 survive, it must be a partisan par- 1 ty, if such a phrase may be used, i not a conveyor belt for New Dealers < and Trumanites who like to play 1 both sides of the fence. i It is no secret that conversations i along these lines have taken place 1 and are taking piaee and that the i next few weeks will witness a com plete change in policy and activities. < I prognosticate that Senator McCar- < thy will take an active' part in the ' 1954 Congressional campaign iq 1 many parts of the country during j the summer and autumn months. : I prognosticate that Senator Ever- ' ett Dirksen will emerge as one of 1 the more important leaders of the 1 party. If Senator Karl Mundt is re-elected, as he undoubtedly will 1 be, he will play a much %rea ter role < in party affairs than he had before ’ the McCarthy-Stevens hearings i started. < Vice President Kicnard Nixon has ’ had an extraordinarily difficult role to play. In the past it had been as- 1 sumed that he was part of the * conservative wing of the party; yet * he has been accepted as a member of the inner circle in the White I House. He is expected to be -the i peace-maker in the patty, but he i has been a close friend of William | Rogers, who is regarded by the conservatives as one of the archi tects of the effort to destroy Me- . Carthy. Nixon is held in high affec tion by many of the Republican* who st this moment wonder at 1 some of the things he is reported 1 to have said during the past seven 1 weeks. My estimate is that when the quarrels within the party sim mer down. Vice President Nixon will , be at peace with the several fac tions and that it win be recog nized that he was in a difficult position and that his potentials re- , mah great. 1 j Three Republican leaders WIH come out of this with less factional j antagonism than most others. They J are the chairman of the National j 'Committee, Leonard Hall, tile Postmaster General, Arthur Sum merfield, and the Attorney General,' Herbert Brownell. Jr. Brownell win face the factional quarrel over Wil liams. who, I am told, Is a bril liant personality but who suffers from a tendency to put his Oncers into too many pies, some of which are too hot to handle. All Bata* moves Involve a lessening of fact ional quarrels and therefore there is lees talk now than there was a about Sherman Adams. Certainly the manttoced telephone calls established that Secretary of the Amy, Robert T. Stephens, did not participate in the policies n. the action afahwt McCarthy.

Is busy again. He is trying to patch up all bread** In Republican' ranks and get pco-MaCarthy ARB . anti. McCarthy Republicans back onto one harmonious team. To that end, he has been holding highly secret conferences which at present make It look a* If Dick 'gg|y as the chief Those sttendlQg the conferences have been ’Senatoftf'Dlrkaen of Il linois and Mundt of South Dakota, both good friends of McCarthy's also Len Hall, the GOP national chairman; Postmaster General Summerfield, the only Cabinet member still in McCarthy’s comer, and at times Senator Ferguson of Michigan. McCarthy himself atten ded some of these meetings. The general discussion is to the effect that Ike himself doesn’t un derstand politics, is weary of the whole McCarthy fight, so the less he Is bothered the better. There fore It has been suggested that Nixon should be the sole liasoa with the White House, and that he will bother Ike Just as little os possible. Furthermore, since Nixon, a Cal ifornian, is something of a rival of Sanator Knowland of California, The Nixon conferees would like to make Senator Dirksen the Republi can leader of the Senate st the next session. This would be SOP to the McCarthyite*, also would help remove a potent Californian who could challenge Nixon fbr the pre sidency in 1966. So far McCarthy haa promised to go along with the boys and he good. He won’t Jump over the tra ces, he says. Os course, he has said this before. Incidentally the Nixon group has not yet sucked in Attorney General Brownell or hi* assistant, William Rogers the latter having meen the last Republican to try to patch up an agreement with McCarthy, jat Miami last Christmas.

MCCARTHY’S tax PROR* Senator McCarthy's' statement that he will Investigate a Demo cratic senator for wrongdoing has brought a sardonic chuckle from one of McCarthy’s Republican coL leagues. Senator Williams of Dele ware. During aB of this session of Congress, Williams ha*’wanted the rfight to probe certain Income tax irregularities. Including those of senators. But he has been stopped by the Republican high command. Wttiams was given this right by the Demoerate when they controlled congress; and as s result, the pub lic witnessed the strange spectacle of a Republican.

Crane Uncle Sam has undermined the authority of all parents of teen, agon, ss well as their school tea chore. That is the chief under lying cause Os the rising Juvenile delinquency and vandalism now adays. It Is also unfair to the Army and Navy,to continue M yean of the draft. By Dr. George W. Crane Case L-346: Clark J., aged 31, is s popular clergyman. “Dr. Crane, why are vandalism and juvenile delinquency so pro nounced nowadays?” he inquired at a Ministerial Meetink I recently addressed. “Actually, statistics ' show that more people are members of chur ches today than ever before, and the percentages are rising steadily. So what is the underlying cause? Is it the long drawn out period of war? We clergymen would like to have your opinion as a practi cal psychologist.” TEEN-AGE UNREST There are several causes under lying delinquency, but Clark has put his finger on a major one when he mentions the war.' If you adult readers are not in close with teen-agers, you may fail to realize the mental turmoil in which the boys find themselves. F. D. Roosevelt started drafting American youth in October, 1940, and we have had the threat of draft over the heads of all young male* ever since. Please remember, too, that the draft is in it 14th year! Never in our entire previous history have American boys been under such a prolonged Sword of Damocles. Even the R< volutionary War lasted but 8 years. The Civil War ran for 4, and World War I, was a 2-year affair. This continual 14-year threat of being Jerked out of school or from a good Job by an omnipotent Un cle Sam and thrust int a foxhole In some foreign land, is very bad for youth. UNCLE SAM VS PARENTS For the teen-ager begins to re alise. even before he is well launch ed into high school, that Uncle Sam’s power transcends that of Dad and Mother. Thus, the boy begins to disregard his parents’ au thority prematurely. For he knows they are powerless over him, or at least soon will be. By the same token, when Uncle Barn’s power is flaunted above that of his high school teachers and vocational the in fluence of those same teachers also becoihes less. I am not generalizing, for I’ve had tens of thousands of letters from young people about this mat ter. And I have personally couns elled with hundreds of high school ers and college men. The young men nowadays can’t make plans for the future, for they don’t know when Washington, D. C, may change their draft status. Emjloyers will not hire them, ei ther, when they learn they are sub ject to Induction at any moment. Even those tn college, begin to fafl in their grades, because of their uncertainty over the future. ♦ Othrts drop out 'of college, eveh in their senior year, because they cant take this-continual threat which prevents their making any serious plans even six months a. head. ATTENTION, CONGRESS One at the quickest ways to low er vandalism and Juvenile delin quency will be for our Congress to terminate the draft 'and get our military forces back on a vo luntary enlistment basis. Military training can be made aa attractive career if it is “sold” properly, as per our American bu siness methods. But to let the draft drag on into Its 14th year, simply demora lizes youth, promtes delinquency and mental breakdowns (ask any psychiatrist), and creates further distaste for the Army and Navy and Air Corps. For “compulsion” arouses anl . moelty, and It is really unfair to the military forces far them to be incurring the growing U1 will be came at “forced labor”, even un der ti» guise at military defense. Compulsion is'necessary in time of active war, but It becomes a ri»v e psychological danger in pease time. Carthy and Bridges of Ww Hamp •hire.

We were together almost constant ly after the first meeting; and I was in love for the first time in my life. I didn’t have to encour age him; he called day and night and seemed perfectly happy in my company. I felt loved and wanted, and was happy in knowning that at last I had found a man whom I loved and also respected. I put aside family, friends and Job just to be with him. Then without warning he told me that we mustn’t see each other for a while. He said he had been go ing with' another woman for near ly 20 years, and although each was married In this time they had con tinued to see each other.
