July 12. 1951 Keeping The Reeonl Straight Challenging Senator Joe McCarthy's un founded attack on General George Mar shall. Congressman Wayne L. Hays of Ohio, had the following to say in the National House of Representatives a short time ago: Mr. Speaker, under leave to extend my remarks, I am including a part of a broad cast of June 17. I have hesitated to criticize a member of the other body, but when a Hit ler-type of attack without any regard for truth is made upon such an outstanding man as General Marshall, I think it is time the American people call a halt before they lose their liberties through the big-lie technique. The excerpt follows: Last week a so-called gentleman from Wis consin stood up in the Senate and from the safety of his senatorial immunity threw CO.000 words of oral mud at Secretary of Defense Marshall. And in order to keep the record straight I would like to compare the military records of that cowardly mudsling er and the man whom he tried to tarnish. George Marshall did not have enough polit ical pull to get into West Point. He entered the Army through VMI. The man who smeared him had his political friends write M Liters t",^j'" VI.'irini■■£!<.n |K in m-d-xn o. n«.t „ a commission In the first war, Capt. George Marshall, then on Pershing’s stuff, planned one of the greatest military maneuvers in history, the transfer of the entire American Army from St. Mihiel to the Argonne in a week’s time without the enemy knowing it. 1 For this he got no publicity and claimed j none. In World War II. the other captain, Joe McCarthy, publicized himself as a tail gunner and as taking part in 17 missions in the South Pacific Navy Department files, however, fail to show any record of combat missions. They do show, however, that in October 1944. during the heat of the war. Captain McCarthy demanded leave to re turn to Wisconsin. At that time two trucks and a icon on the island of Bougainville car ried signs announcing “McCarthy for Sena tor. lie had already begun to use his mil itary service as a springboard for politics. And in February 1945, with the war still de sperately fought in the Pacific. Captain Mc Carthy resigned. Few other officers were permitted to resign in wartime—except for cause. In McCarthy’s file as a Reserve offi cer today is a red card which says: “This of ficer cannot be assigned to active duty.” Tn contrast, George Marshall, having spent 50 years in service of his country— half a cen tury- was enjoying retirement at Leesburg. Va., when he was recalled to active duty. There was no red card in George Marshall’s file and he came back to the tough and thankless job of being Secretary of Defense. That is the man whom the cellophane-com missioned Senator from Wisconsin charged with selling his country to the Communists. Maki’ll l naniinon* There is talk about a code of honor for nil government workers. And it’s a good idea. But let's make the code universal. Surely, an honor code in the individual’s personal affairs and business dealings would help keep the record clean in organizations and politics. We can’t expect a spotless government un less there is a strong moral foundation to support it. Even Thai IT ill Sion 'Em Doini The terrific death toil, ail the maiming and wrecking on the highways have not slowed down motorists on North Carolina highways. Now comes along an automobile engineer ing concern, declaring that speed is adding more than eightv-thiee million dollars to the motorists’ gasoline bill each year. We dare sav the* even that staggering cost wili not slow ’em down. One Day At A Time! By Ruth Taylor Great times call for great people. But it isn't the crises that call for the greatest cx ■*'**», . turn; a.fd-~pMievi<-v. It is the every ' . v ! •)' i iujy&ljr'*>not onous, disagreeable tasks. We can stah<t“sacrflM* .- out it's the giving up of little things which no one knows about that wears our tempers thin. It’s ali the things we do day in and day out that nobobdy notices, that makes us, not angry, , but - worse still - fretful. What we must do j? to remember tat ill temper in these days is the warning of the dangc r hour on the home front. It is <he sign of the weakness in trie fortifications, the break in the line - and. just as on the battle front, so on the home front, it means we must call up the reserves. Why is it dangerous? Because through the gaps of discontent may come the saboteurs, those self-same sneak thieves who have so devastated other countries. They slow' up work by saying - "You have done your share. Wait till the other fellow catches up with you.” They delay the war effort by whisper ing, "Just this one day off. You are only one. You won’t be missed" They waste material by saying, “You can save tomorrow. Have w'hat you want today.” Then when the will is weakened, come the tank troops - “Every one else is getting theirs. You’re a sap. Get yours.” They attack racial and religious groups, imputing to all, the mistakes - common to all groups - of a few' individuals. They make scapegoats and use them as alibis for negligence, indiffer ence and selfishness. And then - in through the breaks made by the tanks, pour the shock troops of the con queror. How can w'e fight this subtle enemy? By throwing in the reserves of character before the line is weakened. By determined resis tance to self-pity, discontent, discourage ment, resentment, prejudice. I have a motto 1 always carry with me which helps me. In the hope that it may help others, 1 quote it here:— “Any one can carry his burden, however heavy, till nightfall. Any one can do his work, however hard, for one day. Any one can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all that life ever really means.” Chosen People Nows and Observer. It should not have been necessary but it was tt gi"jo.V.itm iu j. theless ^f^.r^TTuicTiei at the convention of the Southern Baptists in San Francisco to issue the warning that America is not “God’s chosen nation.” "God has no favorite,” he said. A danger does exist which deserved the warning. We have been blessed. We are strong and prosperous. We have an increas ing fooling, perhaps as a part of our leader ship, that we are superior as well as success ful. Quite aside from theology, no nation can feed on more dangerous stuff. Wre have just finished taking part in the destruction of the German nation which, under Hitler, in dulged m the illusion of national and racial superiority. History is full of the same fate overtaking other peoples who got such ideas and operated on the basis of them. Indeed, most of our troubles in the Orient today are based upon the centuries of strutting display of such feelings by Europeans. No nation in the world today has greater responsibility for good leadership. Our suc cess in that leadership depends not upon our arms but upon our understanding and our humility. It may be hard to believe sometimes that tlie meek will inherit the earth. It is in creasingly certain that the world today is in no mood to leave the arrogant in charge. Ha prim's* (Scottish Rite News) Happiness does not depend on solving every problem, or winning every battle, or overcoming every disillusionment, or elim inating every injustice, or surmounting eve ry barrier, or curing every disease or for ever postponing death; nor does it depend on our working with perfect people. Those, all, are our working materials, these our fel low human beings; and our happiness does not depend on our achieving perfection at any single point or at any single time. Happiness comes in two ways. It comes by means of surprises, little insights, un expected evidences of friendship and love, the occasional joy of new achievements, the acquisition of such earthly and material things with which our lives are so intimately involved: it comes without our expecting it. often, and without our earnings or deserv ing it as one of the gracious gifts of life; and happiness comes through our achievement of a philosophy of life, a way of life, an at titude and through a distinctive character and personality which we build up through the years, on the hidden foundations of sound and sensible thought and of a moral. Masonic, and spiritual culture at once rea sonable, sympathetic and righteous. CHURCH NEWS OAK CITY CHRISTIAN ' Olin Fox, Pastor Sunday school at 10 00. Frank Bunting Supt.

MOUNTAIN MYSTERY -<*> (Frances Frazier, Waynesville Mountaineer) Little Mary was born and reared in Florida and in all her six years of life had never before seen mountains. She couldn't quite get it firmly fixed in her mind how this stupendous thing could have happened, and she tried to fig ure it out. But at last she went to her mother for an explanation. “Mommie, if all that ground came from underneath, why doesn’t it fall back in the hole where it came that's Quick on its feet!
