Graham, erstwhile “liberal” president of the University of North Carolina, made the rather remark able pronouncement at the University last -week that the Atomic Energy Commission and the universities “are seeking to find an answer to the question as to whether a member of the Commuilist Party is under such discipline and party line of a foreign power that he is not free to teach in ac cordance with the principles of a free uni versity. Continuing, the very “liberal” Dr. Graham said: “Upon the establishment of the fact and nature of this discipline will depend the consensus of principles and policies of our universities throughout the democratic world.” Why should the Atomic Enery Commis sion decide whether it is proper for com munists to be teaching in our universities or not? The head of this commission, David Lilienthal, is right now under attack him self.- The communists must laugh up thefr sleeves at what easy pickings we are prov ing to be? They probably figure now they won’t have to fight us to absorb us. We ai*e just rushing into their arms. Support The Ball Team The directors of the Camden baseball elub have-g»ven unstmtingly of their time and of their means in order that Camden might have a baseball club in the Palmetto League. Not a one of these directors stands to make a cent out of the ball club. Not one of them is drawing a penny in salary although some .of them are even acting as ticket sellers and ticket takers and do ing other jobs that nearly always call for pay. ’ / , Had it not been for this loyal group of fans Camden would have been without baseball this summer. It would have been a rather long, lonesome summer with no ball games to go to in the evenings. Now that Camden has a team in the league the fans should show their apprecia tion by giving it their loyal support. This does not mean by attending one game every two or three weeks. It means that the fans should attend regularly. It’s true the Camden team is not leading the league now, it is not even in second place or third place or fourth place. But it is improving steadily and it is playing good baseball. After all, it is impossible for all of the teams to be in first place or even in the first division, but we look for Cam den to be in the thick of the fight if given proper support The measure of a town's sportsmanship is the way it stands by a losing team. When the Tri-State League was organized and Anderson -was placed in it, there were many who said that Anderson was too wnall—that it could not support a team in that class ball. The Anderson team opened its first sea son hopeless outclassed. It did not win t game for ab<mt two weeks and it flounder ed hopelessly in the cellar. But the Ander son fans turned out in large numbers and Anderaon * betaine established as a good baseball town. Bath year since it has been a pennant contender. & Camden has much to gain by supporting its team this year* U the club gets through this season successfully^ baseball ought to be assured iiere tor many seasons to coma. We hope everybody in town will -turn out to the games from now on. Let's fill the ball park. Thst is the way to have a win ning team. And if the fans give the proper support we expect to see a winning team soon.

Here is the story as told by Pearson in one of his'columns: . little Ml History sometimes hinges on things. If it had not been for a telephone call just a little more than six months ago, another man would be in Paris today rep resenting the United States at the most im portant diplomatic conference since Pots- dam. 4 , y* v w , That man is Lewis Douglas, ambassador to Great Britain, former head of Mutual Life Insurance and inheritor of one of the great American copper fortunes. Few peo ple know that only a phone call prevented his becoming secretary of state. “That phone call was placed by Louis Johnson, then chairman of the Truman fi nance committee and in desperate need of funds. Johnson called Douglas early in the morning in Paris where he was attending a United Nations meeting, got him Cut of bed and told him that the Democrats were scraping the bottom of the campaign bar rel. They needed money and needed it bad ly. Truman had given Douglas the richest plum In the entire field of diplomacy and now Truman needed help in return. “Ambassador Douglas listened sleepily, replied that he had no money to spare Later when he was fUlly awwke and back in London, he thought it over again and wrote Johnson a letter. But he still had no money to spare. > “After Truman astounded the world by winning in November, he loked around for a new secretary of state, and knowing nothing about the aeoney-Hdstng phaeee of the campaign, hit upon Dolglas. In fact, he was about to appoint Douglas—-when sud denly Louie Johnson walked into the Whit! House with a copy of Douglas’ letter in his pocket. „ , * “Truman read Douglas’ plea of poverty. He knew that Douglas’ family had de veloped some of the wealthiest copper mines in Arizona. He knew Douglas had been chairman of the wealthy Mutual lifr Insurance Company. He dropped the idea of making Douglas Secretary of State. Contrast the President’s stand with the stand taken by Dougias. In his letter to Johnson, Douglas after denying that he was a wealthy man and for that reason was unable to make a big contribution such as had been demanded, said; “In the second place I came to London not because I wanted to come, for the title of ambassador holds no allurements whatsoever—it never has. It was under stood that I would be completely non political. For this reason even if I had the funds, it would be a mistake for me to make a contribution to the national committee.” Mr. Douglas, who is a man of high honor and who would have made a wonderful Secretary of State, was unwilling to buy the job of ambassador nor do we believe that he would have been willing to buy the job of Secretary of State if he had known that sudh would be offered him in return for a valuable contribution. We wonder what constitutes bribery in this good old Democracy of ours?
