4 THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. ■WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS New Spy Ring Data Revives Probe; Tax Hike Bugaboo Frightens Some; Berlin Red Vote * Tightens Issue HIGHER TAXES: Some Frightened Some business men and indus trialists, who feared a Truman vic tory might result in a new “sock- the-rich” tax program, shivered anew as they read a statement by one of the leading proponents of President Truman’s twice-rejected plea to impose a modified form of the wartime excess profits tax. THE SPEAKER was Wyoming’s Senator O’Mahoney, Democrat, who cited the 1929 financial crash as an argument for boosting taxes on business profits. The senator declared that/‘if cor porate profits of 1929 had been ad equately taxed, this government would have been in a much better fiscal position to meet the depres- aion.” He pointed out that corporate earnings now are piling up at the same rate as in 1929, although the companies are bigger. So earnings are greater than ever before. HOWEVER, industrialists, lead ers of the big labor unions, account ants and economists have been re quested to give their views on what, if anything, congress should do about profits, estimated at a record 20 billion dollars this year. O’Mahoney proposed that “little business,” or small, independent corporations be given special ex emptions under any excess profits tax plan. GOLDEN FLEECE: Page Jason The “golden fleece,” subject of one of mythology’s most romantic, colorful stories, crashed the world press by proxy as a result of a row over custody of its namesake. The fleece, symbol of one of the world’s most exclusive orders of nobility—not even the king of Eng land is a knight—may be “kid naped” by the city of Dijon. THE GOLDEN fleece — of which •mall replicas were awarded the knights—was kept in Dijon, France, after the order was founded by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgun dy, in 1429, for several generations until Mary of Burgundy took it with her to Austria when she married Maximilian the Fair. The fleece remained in Vienna until the French army recaptured the city during the last war and returned the fleece to Dijon. Now, 'Austria is asking for it back. But the good Burgundians of Dijon have petitioned the city council to urge the French government to re fuse the Austrian bid and to re tain the fleece in Dijon. EMPLOYMENT OP MALE WORLD WAR X VETERANS SEPTEMBER 1948 (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) WITCH HUNT: Pumpkin, Too Like a delayed Halloween epi sode, with macabre rather than hu morous undertones, was the revival of the spy hunt in Washington. All the ingredients were there—the cornfield, the pumpkin, and the specter of Stalin hovering over the unsavory whole. But there was nothing funny in the situation to the house un-Amer ican activities committee or to a federal grand jury seeking to rush indictments against suspected trai tors and espionage agents. THE PROBE committee declared it had “definite proof of one of the most extensive espionage -rings in the history of the United States.” Bolstering this assertion was discov ery of microfilm documents, termed by the committee of "tremendous importance," which had been re moved from the state department tor transmission to Russian agents. The microfilm was revealed by Whitaker Chambers, a senior edi tor of Time magazine, who adfnit- ted its possession and declared Al ger Hiss, president of the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace, had given it to him for transmis sion to Russia. Hiss promptly de nied the charge. PLACED ON the witness stand. Chambers said he had not had pos session of the film during the years after 1937, until recently, and de clined to name the persons in whose hands the film rested before being turned up in a pumpkin on Cham bers’ farm. Meanwhile, Sumner Welles, for mer undersecretary of state, studied the microfilm documents, evaluated their contents, but declined to di vulge their importance. Chambers, an admitted member of a Communist spy ring which op erated here a decade ago, was slated for further witness stand ap pearances, as was Hiss, who main tains he was never a Russian agent. Three years after the war most veterans, by and large, are firmly established In civil ian employment, according to statistics compiled by the Re search Council for Economic Security, Chicago. Eighty-nine of the estimated 14.9 million living veterans of World War II were employed as of last Sep tember. Of these, about 900,000 were on farms and another 900,- 000 in school. About 450,000 were unemployed, .rhile an ad ditional 300,000 were “resting” or unable to work. DEAD END: Reds Block Way The struggle for a Berlin peace dragged wearily on, extended by Russian establishment of a Com munist “government” in the Reich capital. Demanding elections be held on a “city-wide basis,” the United States, Britain and France told the Soviet union that there could be no solution to the Berlin impasse un til the Russians disown the newly- installed Berlin government. The terms were clearly expressed in a note accompanying a list of Soviet violations of the Berlin constitu tion that the three powers had sub mitted for guidance. ALTHOUGH FORMALLY ad dressed to a United Nations com mittee, the note obviously was meant as a strongly worded warn ing to Moscow. It indicated that if what it termed the “illegal body” in the Soviet sector were not dis banded, the western powers would take a series of measures required by the fact, in their opinion, that the “legal, unified administration” of Berlin had ceased to exist. The western powers placed no time limit for the Soviet union to make a decision on whether to continue collaboration. However, the tone of the note, as informed sources stressed, indicated that un less the normal administrative con ditions were reestablished "pretty soon,” a new policy would be adopted. FROM BEGINNING to end the note gave what the western powers regard as detailed proof that the Soviets have pursued in Berlin a policy of systematic violation of all quadripartite agreements. POTATOES: No More Doubt There was no longer any doubt. Farmers, at last, had a full-blown portrait of the American house wife’s ideal potato. The U. S. de partment of agriculture even sug gested that farmers tack it up in the bam for quick reference. The department found, after a survey among 3,300 housewives, that farmers and shippers should see to its that potatoes prepared for market are: CLEAN, of medium size, marked by few “eyes,” light in color, un- dalhaged—and of such quality that they will cook up soft, mealy and evenly throughout, without falling apart. Housewives like medium sized potatoes because they rate them easiest to peel and handle, and best for judging individual portions—the all-purpose potato, they say. The survey showed morp than a fourth of the householders dis turbed by “mechanical and han dling injuries” to potatoes. Said the department: “IT IS PRETTY good evidence that too many potatoes are being dug and handled with improper ma chinery and tools, and that the po tatoes are not properly culled be fore being sent to market.” Immediate question to arise: Will potato growers and shippers do anything about it? POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC Anniversary Highlights Book's Effect Poor Richard’s anniversary, Jan uary 17, 1949, highlights the in fluence of the almanac on Ameri can life. Poor Richard vas the nom de plume of Benjamin Frank lin, whose Poor Richard Almanac began the popularity of this type of publication In hundreds of thousands of homes, rural households especially. the almanac hangs on a peg In living room or kitchen. There, al ready, the 1949 almanac has begun to hide the 1948 and earlier editions. The almanac is many things to many people. It carries an anniver- safy-listing calendar, astronomical data, information on how to get rid of rats, raise healthy chicks, how to stay awake in church. ROBOT EAR: New Magic Alexander Graham Bell wouM have approved. Science had moved to make his telephone even mor« serviceable. Tom Edison also would have nodded in approbation, fo> these same scientists had tied to gether two great contributions t« living to make their convenience even more marked, more appre ciated. , A NEW robot ear that hears th« phone ring and turns on the light was shown to doctors at the Amer lean Medical association meeting in St. Louis. The ear could be used when no one is at home to turn on the light outside the front door. When the householder got ready to go home, he could call bis house, and th« ear would turn on the light. No one need answer the phone. THE ROBOT is a box on which the telephone sets. When the phone rings, the noise of the bell vibrates a salt crystal in the box. The vi bration makes electricity flow in the salt, and the current is ampli fied to turn on the light switch. The box and phone are set in the circuit with the light to be turned on. In this way, the ear could be used to light any lamp in the house, or outside. The device comes from wartime submarine and surface ship detec tion by sound. Nothing but the vi bration of a phone bell affects this ear. Besides doctors, FBI men have been getting these ears because they are on call 24 hours a day Undertakers are getting them be cause more people seem to die at night RAIN-MAKER: In the Bag Perhaps it was in the bag, but Franklin Fenenga, an archeologist of California university wasn’t say ing. All he would say was that he did have the bag. THE BAG was a complete rain making outfit he had acquired from an Indian whose grandfather was a medicine man. The bag and its potentialities came to light when Kern county, in the southern part of California’s central valley, had itsufirst rainfall in eight months not long ago. Fen enga vas right there in the middle of the downpour. And, when he re turned to Berkeley, the rain came down there in torrents. NATURALLY, speculation arose concerning the properties of the rain-making bag, for, when the out fit, including the tail of a beaver, a bag of snapdragon seeds, a bag of eagle down, a fossil fish vertebra and various charm stones and peb bles, was brought out of storage, the rain started. Fenenga had the bag with him when he entered Berkeley in a storm. It is now in possession of the university. Polio Poster Girl Yule Crooks Fool Millions Christmas is a time of joy among ! men of good will—and the busy sea- j' son for Christmas racketeers. Every year millions of innocent and careless people are duped by these meanest of crooks. Christmas racketeers take |Sd- I vantage of people’s normal tenden- i cy to be charitable during the Christmas season. These fakers j often fool the public by imitating 1 famous charities or religious insti tutions. A few years ago groups of men and women appeared on the streets of several cities in blue uni forms trimmed with red. They used the word “Army” in their name, and at first glance appeared to be members of the Salvation Army. | With tambourines in hand, they went up and down residential streets soliciting at Christmas time. They took in a lot of money, for them selves. Not a penny of this money helped bring a merry Christmas to a needy home. Using such ruses, it is estimated that Christmas racketeers annual ly. rake in over $100,000,000 during the Christmas season. To avoid being “taken in” by Christmas racketeers, make the bulk of your contributions to es tablished agencies, such as the Red Cross, Community Chest, church- supervised charities and local insti tutions which have proved merit and permanency. < None of Her Business By PAPINTA KNOWLES Christmas Caroling By Swiss Brethren One of the most impressive Christmas customs in Switzerland is the “Singing at the Fountain,” by the Sebastian! Brotherhood in the picturesque spa town of Rhein- felden. According to the Swiss writer, Gottlieb Wyss, the custom had its origin in 1540, when a plague sweep ing through many lands visited Rheinfelden. Twelve men formed a brotherhood in honor of St. Sebas tian, promising to pray to him to safeguard their town from further distress. They also undertook to nurse those aulicted by the plague and to bury its victims. , Pestilence in medieval days was ascribed to evil spirits in the wa ter, and when the Sebastian! Breth ren make their rounds of seven fountains on Christmas Eve they start at the fountain in the “Frosch- weide” where the plague started in the sixteenth century. Their song dates back to the Middle Ages. For their Christmas Eve singing the 12 Brethren are dressed in dark clothes and black silk tophats. As the name of Christ is mentioned in their song, they uncover their heads. * '■'I Linda Brown, 4, of San An tonio, Tex., has been selected the poster girl for the 1949 March of Dimes, January 14 to 31.

Rankin (D., Miss.) one of the foremost house oppo nents of President Truman’s civil rights program, faces a strong fight by northern Democrats in congress to force him off the house un-American activities committee UNDER THE seniority system, Rankin is slated to become chair man of the house veterans’ affairs committee. The attempt to oust him from the un-American investi gating group will be based on the general house rule that the chair man of a committee may hold only one committee post. The northern Democrats will ar gue that if Rankin accepts the vet erans’ affairs committee chairman ship, he should be restricted to that.

A minute ago he was proud and strong for he ac complished the difficult feat of breaking open the traditional Mexican Christmas pinata. The pinata is a large container filled with sweets and toys. Middle Age Yule Lasted Many Days During the Middle Ages people didn’t like short holidays. Any cele bration that lasted less than a week just wasn’t worthwhile. The entire Christmas season, for example, was celebrated In equal fervor with that now shown on Christmas day. In some lands the celebration lasted from December 24 to January 6—Twelfth Night— and in others from December 21 to February 2. Eventually these long celebra tions got out of hand and became such wild orgies that the Puritans forbade the celebration of Christ mas in the year 1644. It was not- until 1678 that Charles II re-estab lished Christmas. TT WASN’T any of her business, of *■ course. But the fact didn’t keep her from worrying over the situa tion that was as evident as the nose on her face between Jim and Betty upstairs. She’d slept very little the night before from thinking about them. And now she sat in Pa’s old rocker by the heater in the front room, listfning to Mike’s little feet patter across the floor above her. She wondered what an old widow could do to Tighten things between two that sfie’d come to love as her own children. For three days Mollie hadn’t heard Jim step his foot on the stairs, which substantiated the news she’d heard that morning from Tillie Smith across the street that Jim was staying in a room downtown. Everything had been alright at Christmas, apparently. Jim had shouldered a cedar tr#e up the stairs that’d berti almost too big to get through the door, and he’d said to Mollie, grinning his infectious grin through the cedar branches, “Mike Boar Gets Credit For First Plow The wild boar has been revered from earliest times as having taught mankind the art of plowing by rooting into the ground with his tusks. Pre-Christian Druids, celebrating the winter solstice, offered a boar’s head to the goddess Freya and, be cause of its food value, the boar has always been an important part of festive menus. For three days Mollie hadn’t hoard Jim step his foot on the stairs. says Santa Claus won’t come with out a cedar tree all decorated with tinsel and yghts.” They’d set up the tree and dec orated it and invited her up to look at it and eat fluffy popcorn that Betty’d popped in an old iron skillet on the stove. Betty’s step sounded on the stairs, and after a moment she and Mike came into the room. “Pm going downtown to buy a few groceries, Mrs. Elms,” she said. “Would it be too much trouble to keep Mike while I’m gone?” Mike ran into Mollie’s arms, and Mollie smiled up at Betty. “Of course not, dear. Mike and I will play train—and ball. ...” She got out the little train she kept for Mike when he came to visit her. After a while an odd, happy glow came into Mollie’s dim blue eyes, and she asked Mike, “would you like to go over to see Aunt Tillie, dear?” Mike was all eagerness, because “Aunt” Tillie gave him little bags of candy. “Le’s go—le’s go!” He jumped up and down with excite ment. They’d hardly reached Tillie Smith’s little* house across the street when Mollie asked Tillie' “Would you keep Mike a little while, Tillie? I have something I must take care of at the house. I’ll not be gone long.” “Why, yes, Mollie, I’ll take care of Mike. We’ll get along fine,” she said. • • • Mollie sat in Pa’s old rocker by the heater and a strange little prayer slipped from her lips, “Dear God, forgive me, but it can’t be a sin!” She became silent and fastened a frightened look upon Betty who had returned from town with her arms loaded with groceries. “He’s tone . .. Betty, he’s GONE! No ... it wasn’t Jim who took him.” She managed the falsehood, but somehow she wasn’t feeling bad inside for doing it Mollie hardly knew what happened after she’d spoken the lie; only that Betty had dropped her groceries in the mi-idle of the floor and had dashed to the telephone to call Jim. Then after Jim was there, holding Betty in his arms and trying to stop her tears, and the whole neighbor hood was roused with the news that someone had taken little Mike, Tillie Smith and Mike walked in the back door. “Well—” Tillie said in surprise at the neighborhood gathering. "What’s this? A New Year's party? Mollie, I thought you intended to come back for Mike.” Betty and Jim were holding Mike between them and laughing now. Presently their eyes slipped to Mol lie sitting quietly in the old rocker, and Betty said, so that only Jim could hear, “Bless her heart, Jim! Bless her heart!” Gregorian Calendar Was Slow In Adoption Great Britain and her colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752; the Julian calendar having be come 11 days slow by that time, par liament ordered that the day fol lowing September 3, 1752, would be September 14, and that the legal year should begin on January 1. The Gregorian calendar is, in ef fect. a revision edition of the old Roman calendar. DONKEYS JJ|j PROMISE i. ' ' *» l*/"' O TO sleep, Dickie. Tomor- '-^gow is Christmas and you're going to have a busy day.” He wondered if he’d be well enough to appreciate his “busy day” and stifled a sob with a heavy sigh for he knew he would be unable to ride the tricycle Santa Claus had promised him. His legs were stiff and painful and they felt as though he would never be able to walk on them again. His mother brushed soft tendrils of hair from his feverish brow and bent down to kiss him tenderly. “Goodnight, Dickie,; pleasant dreams.” He watched her leave the room, closing the door softly behind her. : He lay quietly for some time, then turned to look curiously at the huge tree across the room. In deference to his illness his bed had been moved into the living room so that he could see the decorations and await Santa Claus’ arrival The scene of the Nativity had been beautifully reconstructed by his father and its tiny plaster mofl- els now caught the boy's attention. A strange sight met his eyes. The donkey that had been sprawled on the ground was now standing and stretching himself. The lambs were in their same positions but their eyes were glittering with life. “It’s Christmas Eve, Dickie, and you should be happy.” There was a trace of reproach in the voice. Dickie was bewildered by this tin<e. “How—how—” he stuttered feebly, and halted. “How do we talk? Why that’s sim ple, Dickie. All animals talk on He watched her leave the room, closing the door softly behind her. Christmas Eve. Didn’t you know? That night everything comes to life. “What seems to be the matter?” “I don’t know. I’m all burning up inside and I can’t move my legs without hurting them.” He saw two of the animals ex change a knowing glance. “You mean ...” “Something has to be done for him,” the donkey interrupted swiftly. “You mean you can cure me?” With a glance at the tiny crib, the donkey said, “I’m sure you will be cured, Dickie.” All animals were silent for a moment, then the donkey continued. “Now go to sleep, Dickie, and when morning comes you will feel better.” “You mean I’ll be able to get up and ride my tricycle and play with my other toys?” Dickie asked ex citedly. But there was no answer. When he awoke, both mommy and daddy were sitting at his bed side and his mother’s pretty face was flushed with happiness. “Mommy! Daddy!” he cried, “I can move my legs!” Mother threw the covers back and the three watched with fascination as his legs movedNlowly up and down. Mother began to cry. She hugged him tightly and then threw herself into daddy’s arms. • Dickie was happy, too. . But he stopped moving his legs long enough to tell his mother gravely, “Dr. Benton's medicine didn’t help me, mommy.” “Oh, Dickie dear, of course it did. It cured you and soon you’ll be running around again!” He started to protest, but before words could come, his eyes fell on the Nativity scene where his friends, the donkey and three lambs, reclined. Leaning over, he stroked the plaster backs of the models and made a momentous decision. These animals were his friends and they had made him well again, but maybe they wanted him to keep it a secret. Next Christmas Eve, when they talked again, he could ask their permission to tell every body about their kindness. Until then, he must not do anything that might sadden them. With a final pat, he turned happily to his par ents. "Merry Christmas, mommy. Merry Christmas, daddy. My, it’s going to be a busy day.” First Poinsettias Came From Mexico Poinsettias owe their name to an early American diplomat and Schol ar—Joel Roberts Poinsett. Nearly a century and a quarter ago Poinsett, then U. S. ambassador to Mexico, first brought cuttings of the “fire plant” to his South Caro lina home. Carefully he tended the 1 transplanted tropical beauty. Under his skillful hands the flower thrived and improved. STAGE5CREI Released by WNU Features. By INEZ GERHARD M acdonald carey has been seeing plays and doing radio stints in New York on a brief vacation from Paramount. With four unre- leased pictures behind him and nothing new coming up until Jan uary, he returned to his old stamp ing ground. Radio and the stage prefaced his Hollywood career, which was interrupted by four years in the marine corps. Carey is one of the pleasantest and most interesting stars in the Ho^ywood MACDONALD CAREY galaxy, as well as one of the best educated and least hammy. Prod ded into it, he did mention that his latest picture is “Streets of Lare do,” and that he had fun doing “A Mask for Lucretia”—“No actor could resist playing Cesar Borgia.” People who haven’t cared too much for Sonny Tufts will have a chance to change their minds when they see “The Crooked Way.” We’re to see a new Sonny Tufts, it seems. He’ll play a merciless Los Angeles racketeer. * Madeline Carroll’s “An Innocent Affair," with Fred MacMurray, is delightful but in “Goodbye, My Fancy,” the play in which she is starring in New York, she has really captivated the town. She has realized the ambition of nearly all movie stars. Success in the theater means that they can have anything they want in Hollywood. Margaret Sullavan, whose picture career has waned these lapt years, may re turn to the stage in January— probably with Leo Germ. Zazu Pitts’ play seems doomed to indefi nite postponement. * Fredric March and Florence Eldridge, who had such suc cess on the stage in “The Skin of Your Teeth,” are seen in a new picture with a message. “Live Today for Tomorrow” deals with the ticklish subject of mercy killing. “Hamlet,” the Laurence Olivier production released by Universal- International, still heads the list of pictures that must be seen. To many of us this is the one great version of the play, beside which all others will be inadequate. Whistling Baritone Jack Berch (NBC weekday mornings) is never stumped for a song. He has been collecting carols, hillbilly ballads and hymns since college days and now has a library of more than 4,000 sheets of fnusic. “The Lassie Show” may not have a high Hooper rating, but it is selling so much dog food that the sponsor has vetoed going to a half hour for at least six months until back orders can be handled.
