> THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Battle for Peace AX/'HEN Herbert Bayard Swop< ’ ' coined the phrase "cold war" for his friend Bemie Baruch, it was another way of saying that we have to fight to win the battle of peace. If we don’t we’ll find ourselves in a hot and bloody war. The trouble with fighting the bat tle of peace is that there are no trumpets, no parades, no uniforms. Yet in actual fact the urgency is Just as great as when we are at war. And even though congress, as usual, lags behind the people, I am convinced that the majority of Americans have come to realize that we have to continue the patri otic endeavors that attend war with out the killing that attends war. For the plain fact is that there is no easy road to peace. It is a long, stiff, rocky road. It costs almost as much in dollars and effort as does war. The chief difference is that it doesn’t have to cost lives. Looking at our possibilities of fu ture war from the vantage point of recent trips through both Europe and the United States, the conclu sion of this observer is that war with Russia can be avoided. It can be avoided if we are smarter than they are, work harder than they do, and outmaneuver them in the battle for peace. To win this battle of peace, a four- point program, in the opinion of this observer, is necessary. Unfor tunately, until this battle is won, we can’t afford to relax our armed air strength. But meanwhile here is a militant program to win the peace: I The Marshall plan — whereby • Europe can recover economic stability. 2 A United States of Europe — • whereby Europe can recover political stability. This is just as essential as the Marshall plan, in fact more so. Because the Marshall plan is sure to fail unless Europe is given faith and hope—a new politi cal goal. 3 No depression in the U. S. — • this is just as important as aid to Europe. For what the boys in the Kremlin want most is depression in the U. S., thereby giving them the chance to point a finger at the United States and say: “We told you so; capitalism will not work.” To prevent inflation and subsequent depression a lot of unpleasant things such as high taxes and price con trols will be necessary. 4 An American people’s army for • peace—this may sound idealis tic and visionary, but it isn’t. It’s surprising how many individual Americans already are working at the job of peace. White House Desk President Truman got quite a kick out of telling recent visi tors how the late President Roosevelt had put his famous, gadget-cluttered desk out of com mission by accidentally dropping a lighted match or cigaret into one of the drawers. The present desk, he explained is the original presidential flat- top, brought to the White House in 1902 by another Roosevelt— rough-riding Teddy Roosevelt. Behind Ike’s Withdrawal General Eisenhower had lunch with a group of brother officers about three weeks before he pulled his hat out of the presidential ring, at which time he told them that he was disgusted with politics, espe cially the Pennsylvania Republic ans, who "kissed and told’’ at the famous Curtis club dinner. That, he said, was why he was getting out of the political race. This however, was not quite aU of the story. The real fact is that one man had most to do with Ike’s withdrawal. He is the naan who put Eisenhower in as top commander of the greatest military operation in American history—George C. Marshall. And behind Marshall to a consid erable extent was another man — Harry S. Truman. Marshall got an important assist from Gen. Omar Bradley—plus un expected assistance from the Penn sylvania Republicans and other pol iticians. Nevertheless, it was the secretary of state who did the most to take his colleague-in-arms out of the political picture. Today, President Truman is smil ing broadly and saying privately that he knew all along Ike wasn’t going to run. But that wasn’t the way he felt about it Just before Christmas. Even before this, Truman had been so sore at George Allen for trying to boom Eisenhower, that he fired his once-beloved court jester right out of the White House. And last November, in a not-even- slightly-camouflaged attempt to put the squeeze on Eisenhower, the President suddenly announced that he had appointed General Bradley as chief of staff. Finally White House strategists even cooked up the idea of having Secretary of State Marshall run for vice president on the Truman ticket —If Ike persisted in running. Jobs Are Sought For Skilled DPs Listings Include Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, Technical Workers. GENEVA, SWITZERLAND. — . human mail order catalog is be ing prepared here by the resettle ment department of the Internation al Refugee organization. Faced with the task of finding new homes for 40,000 displaced persons with technical skills, the department is compiling a list of individual refu gees for circulation to governments and interested organizations. The first installment of 120 names will be sent out early this year. Others will follow. The lists will provide complete in formation about each individual, his age, nationality, background, training, experience and other qual ifications, as well as similar infor mation about each member of his family. May Reject Offers. Governments will be able to select persons from the catalog to assist their economic, industrial or agri cultural development, to extend their social or medical services or to train their own technicians in a particular field. The displaced per sons, however, will be free to reject any offers. A new registration of specialists among the 1,.■<00,000 displaced per sons in Europe and Asia is be ing undertaken by the IRO, and is expected to uncover more than 40,- )00 technical and scientific workers eligible for inclusion in the cata log. The IRO has set up a special soard of refugees in each camp to check claims and give some assur ance that the qualifications in the catalog are genuine. First edition of the catalog runs from agronomist to x-ray techni cian. It includes physician^, den- lists, surgeons, architects, chemists, lieticians, engineers, nurses, teach ers, interpreters, veterinarians and a score of other professions. Diverse Nationalities. Their nationalities are as diverse is their qualifications, including Poles, Estonians, Hungarians, Yugo slavs, Latvians, Czechs, Ukrainians and Lithuanians, as well as a sub stantial number who describe them selves as “stateless.” Although most of these specialists came from countries under Soviet domination since the war, there also are a few Germaqs who suffered Nazi perse cution and isolated cases from western Europe. Page after page, the list gives glimpses of the misfortunes of Eu ropeans uprooted by the war. While names in the catalog rep resent the best trained and quali fied displaced persons, they are the most difficult to resettle, according to IRO officials, who claim that na- lional immigration missions, select ing displaced persons from the camps, concentrate on unskilled and iemi-skilled manual workers. The new catalog will be circu lated, in English, French, Spanish snd Portuguese, to North and South kmerica, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and any other country like- y to accept displaced persons, as well as to United Nations bodies, re- 'igious groups and other voluntary jrganizations interested in resettle ment of refugees. Local IRO offices will circulate extracts to business. Industrial and professional organiza- lions and other potential employers Auto Made on West Coast Weighs Only 600 Pounds SAN DIEGO.—Weighing only 600 pounds and designed to sell for $595 F.O.B. San Diego, a new light auto mobile is being introduced by Inter national Motor Car company, a new Pacific coast manufacturer. The company announced its fac tory at San Diego is being equipped with almost $500,000 worth of ma- ihinery and tools. Production, al ready under way on cars for dealer display, will be geared for an output sf 100 cars a day in the spring, ac- rording to S. A. Williams, president. He formerly was associated with he now-defunct Bobbi Motor Car corporation. The new two-passenger converti ble, called the Towne Shopper, will be promoted as a “second” car [or American families, Williams said. It will feature many aluminum parts, including wheels and a 10- iiorsepower motor installed in the rear. Underneath the front hood will be a large compartment for luggage or groceries. War or Depression Needed To Halt 'New Look’ Craze ATLANTA, GA. — The only thing hat will wean women away from the current “new look” is another war or a depression. So says Tobe, fashion consultant tor more than 200 retail stores in this country, England, Canada, Honolulu and Australia. Tobe says fashion is merely “a reflection of women’s lives.” During the war, she explained, wongen dressed more like men because they were doing men’s jobs. When the war ended and the boys came home, women imme diately became more feminine again. Therefore, Tobe declared, “the new look is not a designer's ivory- tower dream, but a natural evolu tion.” COLLEGE-BOUND D.F.S . . . Two Estonian girls, Silva Mardiste (left) and Asia Tamm, were first displaced persons from Germany to receive scholarships to U. S. colleges. WINTER OLYMPICS GET UNDER WAY . . . This is a general view of the ceremony at St. Moritz, Switzerland, marking the opening of the fifth winter Olympic games, as nearly a thousand athletes took the Olympic oath. Bibi Torriani, famous 36-year-old captain of the Swiss hockey team, led the gathering in the oath. UNWILLING ... Just 10 years after he sailed away on what he thought would be a brief visit to his native Germany, Johannes Koch, naturalized U. S. citizen, returned to his home in Cloquet, Minn. He had been forced by Nazis to serve in German army. BATTLE WAGON GOES LAST MILE . . . Her fighting days at an end, the USS New Jersey, once ranking among the greatest of American fighting ships, is shown passing from the East river as tugs hauled her from the New York navy yard on her last voyage — an ignominious one in the light of her past achievements. The battleship is bound for Gravesend bay, Brooklyn, to be broken up for scrap. SOLDIER OF FORTUNE . . . Russell K. Haight Jr., 25-year-old ex-G.I. from New York, arrived in U. S., still wearing his Indian turban, after serving for two months as brigadier general in the free Kashmir rebel army. EARLIEST CHURCH — MAYBE . .. Excavation of this stone structure at Newport, R. I., may prove it to be the earliest Christian church in the western hemisphere. Research now is being undertaken by the Preservation Society of Newport to investigate the claim that it was built by Norsemen more than 100 years before the arrival of Columbus. Counter contention is that structure is simply an old windmill built in the 1660s by Benedict Arnold, then governor of Rhode Island. DIPLOMAT ... Robert D. Mur phy, chief political adviser to Gen. Lucius D. Clay, U. S. com mander in Germany, was ex pected to be appointed to handle control of American-occupied Ger many under a new state depart ment setup for the zone to become effective July 1. >5 yihg panyihg explanations that she is confident will lead her to the treasure, Mrs. Bula E.

IN THESE UHITED SHIES There’s No Limit to Work Day For Mayor of Many Interests WNU Features. WOOD RIVER, ILL.—The mayor of Wood River (popu lation 8,197) is a man of two titles* five jobs, unbounded en thusiasm and a complete disregard for the limits of a 24-hour day. < As mayor of the bustling Midwest ern town, 35-year-old Lavier D. Humphrey puts on his “executive hat” and, like mayors the country over, deliberates highway improve ments, tax rates, police aftairs and garbage disposal. Then he switches to dungarees and an -oil worker’s safety helmet for his eight hour a day job as operator in Shell Oil company’s re finery in neighboring Roxana. Start ing with the company as a laborer in 1933, Humphrey has worked up to his present job as an operator in the lubricating oil plant. Donning a worn but service able baseball cap—symbolic of his intense interest in youth of the town — Humphrey turns to his jhird major interest, that of providing suitable recreation fa cilities for Wood River young sters. He has established super vised playgrounds for young sters of all ages and currenUy is sponsoring the conversion of a 15-acre corn field into a ball park and recreation center. (The mayor’s fourth activity—the one of which he secreUy is most proud—is his famed Junior G-Man club, first of its kind in the country. Humphrey and Police Chief Frank Starkey formed the club after youngsters caused $500 damage to municipal property during Hallow een night festivities in 1944. Club members cooperate actively with police; they report parking viola tions, speeders, red light crashers; they unmasked a peeping tom al ways one look ahead of police, and they aided in detecting a gang of vandals who were breaking into the local high school. Since the club was organized, Halloween damage has dropped to less than $25. Humphrey admits, however, that his fifth job is the hardest: The co ordination of all his activities within the limits of a 24-hour day. Under a Shell policy encouraging employees to participate in civic activities, Humphrey often finds himself wear ing the mantle of each of his jobs at once. Between sandwich bites dur ing lunch hour in the refinery, he may hear a citizen’s com plaint that his neighbor’s chil dren get up too early, study a report on speeders from a trust ed G-Man lieutenant, review the latest set of ball park plans and even go over his own refinery reports. Enthusiasm is this young Mid- westerner’s main trait — a conta gious enthusiasm of rolled up sleeves, hard work and the deep satisfaction that comes from ac complishment. ( Country Doctor Prescribes for Self-It's School HARRISBURG, PA.—The country doctor in Pennsylvania has re turned to school to learn the latest progress in the medical field. This new venture in medical education, never attempted previously any where in the world, has been hailed as a “pattern for other states.” Sponsored by Pennsylvania Medi cal society, the project has been accorded an enthusiastic reception by some 840 physicians of small towns and rural areas. “Students” attend one eight-hour class a week in the nearest of six centrally located instruction cen ters. Teaching centers at present are in Allentown, Harrisburg, Johnstown, Oil City, Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport. The course ex tends for 10 weeks. Instructors are medical experts from leading training institutions of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. They lecture morning, afternoon and eve ning on the latest know-how in medicine. Practical phases of diag nosis and treatment are covered, in structors explaining the best tech niques known to the medical pro fession. Of the 840 doctors who took the opening course 580 were general practitioners, most of them from small communities and rural areas. Sixty-two were specialists in inter nal medicine, 61 were surgeons, 32 were obstetricians and gynecolo gists and 25 were neuro-psychia trists. “This program has proved that the general practitioner, especially the typical country doctor, seeks to keep himself abreast of the latest progress in medicine,” Dr. Charles W. Smith, chairman of the medical society’s graduate education com mittee, said in commenting on suc- jess of the venture. His Honor Like mayors the country over, Lavier D. Humphrey finds many re sponsibilities attached to the job of being chief executive of the bustling little city of Wood River, III. The routine of handling civic affairs, however, is relieved when he is called upon frequently to serve as peacemaker in settling neighborly squabbles. Works, Too Losing his official dignity, Hum phrey is known as "Humpy’ at the Shell refinery, where he works in a section of the lubricating oil plant. Most of his working day is spent in front of a complicated control board bristling with dials, knobs and re cording instruments which keep tab on the plant’s operations. At Play One of his honor's favorite re laxations is to listen to his wife play the piano—not the fast new swing tunes, but the old ones, Viennese waltzes, Victor Herbert, Sigmund Romberg. Son Don, 13, and a daugh ter, Laniece, 11, also join the fami ly group for frequent evenings of music. Human, After All Back in high school, Humphrey set a record for the mile which last ed until 1947. He has been a fast- moving man of action ever since. Rugged as he is, however, he oc casionally tires from the strain at the refinery and city hall. When the pace does catch up with him, it’s usually in this living room chair. No Problem for Him BURLINGTON, VT. — Stricken with laryngitis. Prof. Robert S. Long of University of Vermont thought of canceling hi? classes. Then he had a better idea. He whispered his lecture Into a record ing machine which he carried to the classroom and turned on full blast. Farmers Strengthen Neighborly Tradition EL PASO, ILL.—Strengthening a tradition of neighborliness between El Paso villagers and Woodford county farmers originally launched 33 years ago. 50 farmers aided in cleaning streets and yards of debris left in the village by a storm. With tractors, axes and saws, the farmers cleaned up parts of fallen trees, brush and twigs, hauling the 4ebris to a dump for burning. Then the farmers were treated to dinner in two El Paso cafes. The neighborly tradition began in 1914, when 160 farmers hauled 700 loads of dirt into town to fill in the village parks, then being developed as a recreation center for children of the community and outlying rural areas. In 1918 the villagers recipro cated by organizing shock troop grain harvesters during a farm la bor shortage. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST. OPPOR. MAKE AND SELl.
