THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. LIKE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS WASHINGTON. — The American people are now beginii.ng to realize that the road to peace after war is never easy. Beating our swords back into plowshares sometimes is more difficult than forging the swords of battle. But one encouraging milestone on the road to peace now is under way in New York where the smaller nat : ons of the allied world, who for months have had to sit and take it from the Big Four, now debate on an almost equal footing. Many may have forgotten it, but tills issue of free debate caused a bitter battle at the San Francisco conference. Molotov then wanted to stifle free debate. He proposed that the general assembly of the United Nations not even be permitted to discuss or to criticize decisions of the big powers sitting on the secu rity council. Australian Foreign Minister Evatt, spokesman for the little powers, opposed. He went fur ther and demanded that the gen eral assembly under the recog nized principles of democracy have the power to overrule the security council. He was re buffed, not only by his own “mother diplomats” from Lon don, but also by the isolationist- grounded senators of the U. S. delegation. In the end, the general assembly was given the bower to debate, dis cuss. criticize, and recommend—but not to carry out. That is what it is doing at the present sessions. Behind the iron curtain, public opinion still is tightly controlled. When it is decontrolled, then we need no longer worry about war be tween the USA and the USSR. Meanwhile, the sessions in New York are like the first struggling but healthy debates of the Continental congress and of the United States congress which grew therefrom. They won’t achieve much at the moment, but they should pave the way to great and hopeful things. * • • HARRY TRUMAN’S PRESS If Harry Truman couid place an ad in the papers, probably it would read something like this: “Wanted—Good press secretary; willing to work long hours; must be practicing newspaper man, not afraid to say ‘no.’ Low salary, but private car and plenty of prestige. Call National 1414 or write H. S. T., 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, D. C.” There are few weaker spots in the White House staff than Truman’s press aides. Vener able Charlie Ross, the Presi dent’s secretary, simply isn’t filling the bill. Personally one of the finest gentlemen in Wash ington, Ross is by na» e an in trovert; doesn’t gei around much, is a poor srot-news re porter and a comp!' e failure as a press agent. Newsmen who cover the White House sometimes are genuinely alarmed at Ross’ ineptitude. They claim he doesn’t read the news papers regularly, doesn’t even keep up with the White House direc tives. Frequently, Wi/ite House newsmen have asked about stories which were on the front page of the morning paper, but Ross shows he simply has not read the papers. • * * EXIT ‘52-20 CLUB’ The “52-20 club” is folding up for many veterans and Gen. Omar Bradley, the Veterans’ administra tor, is deeply concerned over their ability to readjust themselves. The “club” is composed of un employed vets who receive relief al lowances of $20 a week for 52 weeks. The year is now up for many ex-servicemen who have been riding this gravy train, the worthy as well as the idlers. Many more who climbed aboard in the first few months following V-J Day also will be cut oil soon. Of 1,800,000 claimants on the rolls last April, only 40,132 had exhausted all their claims up until August. However, between now and the end of the year from 150,000 to 200,000 will join them. Veterans’ administration is fearful many will be unable to find jobs. General Bradley has never liked the “52-20 club,” believing it subsi dized idleness. Many veterans found >t more comfortable to live on the $20-a-week dole than to work for a living, although some, including the disabled, made an earnest ef fort to find jobs. Now that the relief train is reach ing the end of the line, Bradley fears that they will have a tough time readjusting themselves to a life of industry. * * « MERRY-GO-ROUND Some people relish reports that they’re in the big money, but not Henry Wallace. A report that he was to get $75,000 from the New Republic drew a quick denial. He’s getting a little less than his cabinet salary, which was $15,000. . . . Wal lace will remain in Washington this winter, then move to New York. He has bought a farm up along the Hudson. . . . Wallace aides didn’t want him to become an editor, thought it would put him on the spot once a week. That ’Voice of America' Idea David Sarnoff announces plans for using the radio for world peace through the establishment of a “The Voice of America” program to be broadcast to all peoples everywhere. We understand it already has pro gressed to the point where "Accord” will be spelled backwards and “Brotherly Love” sideways for 55 nations. The only point offering a problem at the minute is whether to give Russia more than five silver dollars if she answers the question, “Is The Old Oaken Bucket a brok erage office, a nightclub or a song?” • Those behind “The Voice of America” are hard at work on the features which radio believes to be the heart of mass appeal, those ra dio jingles. But up to the moment they have not found any quite silly enough to reach all nations. The only two accepted so far are: World wide order! That’s a lot! Love and kisses hit the spot! Our world peace pills always work— Uncle Sam is your prescription clerk! * Hi diddle diddle and rinky dink! All hard feeling we must sink; If you’d cure all this world’s ills Ask for “U. S. Headache Pills!” * They’re not really silly enough, but they may do for a start. Of course, on any international ra dio program from America we will have to work on the importance of the vitamin in eliminating interna tional distrust, and the advantages of the right “regulator” in creating better understandings. But there are certain dangers. Suppose the Amer ican program cures Germany of pink toothbrush but does nothing for Romania? What if we show India how to cure dandruff, but it still feels quarrelsome? * Couldn’t more ill will, instead of less, develop? How will Russia feel if the quiz program jackpots are won by other countries, and will the British like it if Ireland gets the $12 for answering the question “Who wrote Alexander’s Rag Time Band?” * A lot depends on the nature of the program used by “The Voice of America.” Our idea would include: (1) Let the kiddies solve it. (Six children between the ages of three and seven constitute an internation al tribunal and answer any question sent in by any nation.) (2) Telo-test. (Our secretary of state calls up the secretaries of state of other countries, hit or miss, from a phone book every morning and gives them a chance to win a jackpot by giving the first name of Hildegarde, the night club perform er.) (3) A “Mr. and Mrs. Breakfast Hour.” (We might let Dorothy and Dick, or Tex and Jinx make a di rect appeal to the Russian people for better understanding, with eggs on toast.) (4) International guest star hour. (Bessie Beatty can get Joe Stalin on her program, Mary Margaret McBride can do her stuff with Ma hatma Ghandi and Maggie McNellis can spring Tito on her listeners.) (5) Global Information Please. (Clifton Truman, John LaGuardia, Franklin P. Wallace.) (6) Ginny Simms, Jack Arm strong, the AII-a'.nerican boy, A. L. Alexander, Fred Allen, Finnegan, Charlie McCarthy, Jimmy Durante, the football scores and the correct time in radio liaison with Jimmy Byrnes. Senator Vandenberg, the White House and U. N. * Peace? Wanna bet? • • * A youngster named Larry Parks tries the impossible in portraying Al Jolson in the new movie, but dots the best that could be expected. There never was but one Jolson, although there always were dozens oj imitators. The vitality of Jolson in the theater can only be appreciated by those who saw him in his heyday, when he set the audience cheering at his first appearance on stage and held it in the hollow of his hand all evening. * • • THOUGHT AFTER A DINNER INVITATION Of all man’s words, Surpassing sweet. The finest are, “We’re having meat!” e • • The more you listen to the radio come dy programs the more you become con vinced that the authors of the material are doing it to pay an election bet. • • » The Mayflower, presidential yac’it of Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding and Coolidge, is to be sold at auction. It should be retained as a memorial to the day when it was possible for a President of the United States to get a little relaxa tion merely by boarding a boat. * • • There is a lot of talk about a revo lution in this country, and all sorts of causes are given. Personally, we think that the revolt, if it ever comes, will be against shrimp cock tails. MORE NAZIS FACING TRIAL . . . Here are some of the topflight members of the Nazi regime who still face trial for the part they played in the Nazi gamble lor world power. Top left, Field Marshal General Albert Kesselring; top right, Field Marshal General Erhard Milch, who was Goering’s air deputy; bottom left. Col. Gen. Von Dem Bach Zelewski, chief of the “Super-Gestapo,” and, lower right, S. S. Obergruppen-Fuehrer Otto Ohlendorf, chief, Nazi secret police. UNIT CITATIONS AWARDED 5 CARRIERS . . . Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal awarded unit citations to five aircraft carriers for inflicting “terrific losses” on the Jap navy during the war. The ships commended were: Cowpens, Enterprise, Hancock, Langley and the Wasp. Forrestal is shown at left. The five other men shown are officers of the aircraft carrier. Wasp. STAG AT BAY IN WOMEN’S COLLEGE . . . Men appear for the first time in 40 years on the campus of the Florida State College for Women, Tallahassee, Fla. Jerome Allen, is the target for vulpine whistles emanating from coeds. FANCY PANTS! . . . Six-months-old Nancy Sue Fohn, daughter of Mrs. L. J. Fohn, San Amomo, Tex., wears an expression that says “Yup, it has come to this,” as she scoots around the house in her new, gaily-decorated three-cornered pants. Material shortage brought about the startling change. Mothers in San Antonio took advantage of sale of hand towels, hence the labels, “Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.,” and in the case of twins there is always the “his” and her.” BLIND EAGLE SCOUT , . . First Boy Scout in history to become an Eagle Scout, although totally blind, is Ronnie Sanders, 16, oi Culver City, Calif. In addition to fire-making the youth had to learn to save a drowning person and earn 21 merit badges. HITLER BELIEVED ALIVE . . . Lt. Col. W. F. Heimlich, Colum bus, Ohio, army intelligence offi cer, who directed search for Adolf Hitler. He believes that the for mer Fuehrer aud his mistress are still alive and in hiding. MAY BE AMBASSADOR . . . Monica Milne, 28, daughter of a London surgeon, has been named Britain’s first woman diplomat with an appointment to the per manent staff of the foreign of fice. She may become England’s first woman ambassador. FOR WORLD PEACE . . . Study of President Harry S. Truman as he opened the United Nations gen eral assembly in New York, wel coming the diplomats of 51 na tions. i GOLFING AT ONE HUNDRED . . . Nathaniel Vickers, 100, of Forest Hills, N. Y., water color ist, architect and golfer, celebrat ed his 100th birthday anniversary with nine holes of golf. Modera- tion in all things is his code. IT IS my belief that after 1946, 1 Army and Navy will fade out of the football picture, as far as win ners are concerned. Sure, they had all the best of it in 1944 and 1945. But 1946 will be different, as Navy already has found out and Army is finding out. It must be admit ted that Army and N avy had the breaks in the two war years of 1944 and 1945. But when the war ended, it was a new story. After 1946 every one knows Army and Navy won’t have a chance against the induce ments offered all over the map. Army and Navy can’t match these lures. By inducements I mean some thing more than scholarships. I mean direct pay, which may range from $5,000 to $10,900 a season, more or less. This is important to the poorer kids who seem to make the better football players. Star football players no longer are going to schools where there ia strict discipline and no financial help. They are an integral part of the United States—the cash comes first. This applies to both coaches and players. Unfortunately, the world wrecking war also tore a heavy gash Into sportsmanship, the old idea of a “fair field and no favor, may the best man win.” Sportsmanship is now a word you find in the dictionary. Football’s Top Target When you’ve piled up a long string of consecutive victories over a peri od of two and a half seasons, you know what you are in football. You are the top target of the year, the one they all want to knock over, especially the one who will get there first with the blackjack or the club. Week after week, they were all after Army. First it was Villa- nova, then Oklahoma, Cornell and Michigan. Then came Columbia, Duke, West Virginia and the cru cial test with Notre Dame. Penn sylvania and the Navy clash will end the fray. Most of the others run two, three and four deep. Army runs less than two deep. Notre Dame runs deep er than all the others, three and four deep. But they still can play only 11 men at a time. This is something of a fallacy in this modem game, where they wear out quicker than they ever did in the old days. May be the pace is faster. Maybe'they are not as rugged as they used to be. Who knows? Army’s Red Blaik, a fine coach and an old friend from many years, never thought he could go through this 1946 schedule unbeaten. • • • The Way of the Mob (To Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Eddie Arcaro) All you who get the cheering And the plaudits from the mob. Who shrink because they bawl you Out upon some off-day job. Who scowl ^because they call you names That no one likes to hear, Who keep the welkin ringing from The hoarse hoot to the cheer, Who build you up and knock you down, From here to kingdom come, Remember as the game goes on— They never boo a bum. I’ve heard them hiss Hans Wagner And I’ve heard them snarl at Cobb, I’ve heard them holler “Take him out,” With Matty on the job. I’ve heard them curse when Ruth struck out— Or Speaker missed a play. For 40 years I’ve heard them ride The heroes of their day. I’ve heard their roaring welcome Switch to something worse than hum, But Eddie, Ted and Joe, get this— They never boo a bum. • • * Ted Williams could never hit his earlier stride after Labor Day. A good point was made in sug gesting that Ted was letting too many near strikes—balls an inch or so away from the plate—slide by through his unerring judgment of balls and strikes. This could be true since it is dif ficult to get your swing moving in the split fraction of a second needed in following a pitch that far. Ted is a great swinger, but even the greatest need a little more time to get the bat under way with full power back of the motion. A pitch two inches off the plate is just as easy to hit as one over the corner. But any way you look at it, Wil liams dropped a bundle of prestige since the slump overtook him back in early September. It carried right on to the end of the season, and the world series. The boos sound ed particularly bitter in his ears, it is reported. Well, that’s the way in snorts—and in life.
