.
At least this is all Indicated in
the report for 1958 Just published
by the International Cooperation
Administration, or ICA, the cur
rent name for Washington's huge
foreign give away operation.
It la interesting te mote that at
the end of 19&S, ICA listed over
11,000 employees of which more
than 9,0o were overseas some
where, and MS, classified as "an
asslgneU complement" were pre
sumably sitting around waiting
for somebody te dream op a nice
new boondoggle for them.
But this Is not really the great
paradox when U. S.public seems
to have accepted, at least by de
fault, the fact that billions are
being thrown around the world.
Bat what really throws the
chicken feathers in the fan Is the
reported fact that ICA has people
on duty in British Geiana, Brit
ish Honduras, - Jamaica, Suri
nam, and Trinidad. ICA also has
some people Jn British East Af-
(1 Nulwitl ftdgrttloo ot irdependmt Bus ! dtm
rice. Ia addition, there re a
alseable number ia seine at the
Iteoch colonies.
' Now there may be some ex
cuse for American give away ex
perts to be m Trinidad. Not
many years ago it was under
stood the favorite song down
there was rum and Coca Cola.
Now apparently there is no
Shortage of rum down there, but
perhaps they need some free
Coca Cola.
Thus, the nation comes fact to
face with one of the wlerdest
facts of all about the entire wlerd
world wide five away programs.
There is perhaps some excuse
for helping out in a small, unde
veloped independent nation that
could use a friendly hand right
now. But to go into other nation's
colonies "with ICA "fast buck"
boys seems quite absurd.
The whole colonial system was
based on the colonising- nation
making a little profit out of the
natives. If there was no profit,
either the world power pulled
eat, or else sold to some other
nation that figured It could do
with the extra land.
In fact, the United States
picked up considerable choice
real estate this way such as the
lands in the Louisiana Purchase,
Alaska, the Virgin Islands to
mention some.
It Is perhaps unfortunate this
give away gimmick wasn't
thought of many years ago, be
cause If It had, Texas might still
be a Mexican colony, Davy
Crockett would have lived to kill
more bear, and the Alamo would
have ben ICA headquarters to
pass out fresh new U. 8. tax
money every time the native got
restless. It would almost seem
the early leaders who made this
nation great were either short of
vision, or short of cash.
"A Pciib Of My Lifs" Tells Story; :
Of Confederate Soldier From Surry Co.
Almost 100 years ago a Surry
County Tar Heel wrote' his ad
ventures that , now appear as A
Portion of My Life by William
M. Norman.' " ' r ,, .
This autobiography, written in
1805 by a -Confederate : soldier
while he was Imprisoned on
Johnson's land in Lake Erie will
be published this week by John
F. Blair of Winston-Salem. The
hitherto unpublished manuscript,
brought to the publisher by a
great-grandson of the author,
Gorrell E. Bass of Winston-Salem,
has been a valued family
possession since its author walked
home with it from Ohio after the
war. It records the way one wes
tern North Carolinian grew up:
his adventures, his study of law,
his career as a captain in the
Army, of Northern Virginia, and
finally his capture in 1863 white
on picket duty near Kellysford,
Virginia.
The son of a small farmer, Wil
liam Norman struggled to gain
an adequate education, finally
running away from home to go to
school. Before settling down he
ventured to the "far west" of the
Nebraska prairie, where his li
vely dealings with Pawnee In
dians as well as land speculators
gave him nuich to remember du
ring the boredom and loneliness
of prison. Back home from his
travels, Norman settled down to
serious study and entered Judge
Pearson's famous law school, pas
sing his examination for a supe
rior court license in 1860. His ca
reer as a lawyer was soon in
terrupted and never again resu
med when Norman decided to en
list in the Surry County militia
to "fight for the liberties" of
this country.
He was in three of the major
battles of the Civil War and des
cribes in detail what he saw and
felt during the battles of Frede-
day.

him.

had with him for reference his
diary of the Pennsylvania Cam

life: the short rations, the see
saw marching through swamps
and mud, the battlefields covered
with wounded nad dead, give de
tails which help to fill in the pic
