THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, April 26. 1951 Pape Two f "HOW TO WIN FRIENDS ernd Author of r NMNNCf PEOPIT Help Others By Showinf Interest TUCTTiE NELSON, Atlanta, Georgia, had in her classroom a l>ojr “ named Owen who openly and avowedly hated school, hated to come among his contemporaries. Lucile was the new third grade teacher who arrived in the middle of the «• . » term. She found that Owen stayed home one or two days out of every week. He was eight years old. Lucile considered him the most im portant pupil there; he needed her the most. She aceepted as a challenge the op portunity to change his point of view. She knew she had to get close to him in order to win, and it’s not always easy to get close to an eight year old boy who avoids society. She waited for the opportune moment “Owen.’ school ? M she said, “tell me why you dislike Not looking at her he replied sullenly, “Nobody likes me; nobody plays with me." “I like you," answered Lucile, "I like you very much, and I am very hurt on the days you stay away. I miss you terribly.” Owen unbent a little; not loo*much. The habit of many months wasn’t too easily broken. But during the rest of the day, he seemed less sullen, less obstinate. That afternoon, Lucile went home with Owen. She talked to him about everything else than school work, learned his inter ests. Gradually he unbent, like a flower opening to the sun. He came from a home where there was little of the good things of life. While talking with his mother it became plain that Owen was suffering from an inferiority complex due to their poverty He was embarrassed when with children who had more of this world’s goods. Now Lucile had something to work with. There must be aiousod in Owen a feeling of importance. So she made a special effort to sec that he took his turn in helping with the small jobs children love to work, at in the classroom. She saw to it that he had his turn as captain of the ball team. She lier.v^lf learned the soft ball rules and became the umpire of their games By and by, the princioal said. “Since you came, Owen’s at tendance has been better than it was for two years.” That would have been reward enough, but it was a bigger reward to see Owen’s happy young face. Yet she had done nothing more than to show him that she loved him and was interested in liim.

Hot Debote Over Policy Continues Washington— Republicans called today for the bombing of Red China bases. Democrats questioned a report that Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgwpy had urged use of Chinese Nationalist troops in battle. Hot argument over the conflict ing views of President Truman ! and Gen. Douglas MacArthur on how to fight the Korean war hit a j new peak in Congress as a Com munist offensive smashed at Al-' lied lines some 10,000 miles away. In the oratorical infighting here,! Senator Wiley (R-Wis) proposed that the United Nations be asked to approve aerial attacks on the Manchuria base “sanctuaries” about which MacArthur complained be fore Truman fired him as Pacific commander. Senator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) j asserted that if the U. N. “ever, is to be victorious in Korea,” Chi nese Nationalist troops from For mosa must be used in the battle against the Communist foe. MacArthur has urged the use of Nationalist troops, air operations over Manchuria and blockade of the China coast. He told Congress it was his understanding that top military men—including the chiefs of staff—had shared his views in the past, from a military stand point. Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chair man of the joint chiefs, has made, it clear, however, he agrees with Mr. Truman such measures for 1 expansion of the Korean fighting might lead to World War III. Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney. MacArthur’s chief adviser, tossed l some flaming gasoline on this con-1 ■ trovers?*. At a news conference in ; New York yesterday he said Ridg- way had proposd to the Pentagon that Chinese troops from Formosa | be sent into battle. Whitney said Ridgway, who suc ceeded MacArthur in the Pacific, ! commands, made this proposal “af- i ter analyzing the situation,” evi- 1 dently shortly after he took over 1 field command in Korea. Whitney quoted Ridgway as say ing the Nationalists were needed to support his troops’ military po sition, leaving unclear whether they might be sent into battle in Korea or on th mainland. Whitney said all senior officers in the Far East favored use of Chi-, ing Kai-Shek’s troops. Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett, dclining to comment on any pos-1 sible use of Chiang’s forces told a news conference 400 to 500 more men may be assignd to the U. S. military mission on Formosa. On the issue of Chiang’s troops. Senator Kerr (D-Okla), No. 1 Mac Arthur critic, in Congress, told re poters: “I’m not chasing rumors from Maj. Gen Courtney Whitney. “MacArthur was the man who! wanted to expand the war. Mac Arthur was the man released from his command for insubordination, and refusal to comply with orders.
