THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C Truman for Strauss N INTERESTING DEVELOP MENT has taken place inside 'the atomic energy commission, wherein President Truman is se riously considering a Republican to be the new chairman, replacing Dfevid Lilienthal. The Republican is Adm. Lewis Strauss, onetime secretary to Her bert Hoover and a member of the Wall street firm of Kuhn, Loeb. It was Strauss who vigorously op posed Lilienthal inside the commis sion regarding the hydrogen bomb —Strauss being for the new bomb, Lilienthal being against it Feeling between the two men has been strained, and the President — instead of siding with his old Democratic friend, . Lilienthal—has hacked up Re publican Strauss regarding the H-bomb, and now is even con sidering him for chairman, Strauss, however, believes the chairman should be a Democrat; also says he expects to resign from government This means that Tru- man will have three atomic vacan cies to fill—Lilienthal’s, Strauss’s, and Sumner Pike’s, also a Repub lican. One reason for Truman’s sudden coolness toward Lilienthal has been the fear that his negative ideas on the hydrogen bomb would be picked up by Moscow and used as a phony peace offensive. That was why Tru man was so opposed to Lilienthal’s idea of going to Moscow to try to make a deal with the Russians. Truman feels, as the result of many attempted agreements With Moscow, that any confer ence of this kind would be as profitable as a Missouri hound dog baying at the moon. . Already, the White House has noted, the Russians have started a new and phony peace offensive. On January 20, at the very same time Moscow had initiated a new block ade in Germany, Prof. Eursalim- sky put out the following peace overtures on the Moscow radio: ‘‘Comrade Stalin pointed out that peaceful cooperation between the capitalist world and the Soviet Union remains in force and the possibility of peace cooperation does not only not diminish, but can even increase. The proposal to conclude a pact of peace between tiie U.S.S.R. and the United States, as well as the proposal of a pact of the five great powers for the strengthening of peace are fresh and convincing evidence of the peace-loving foreign policy of the U.S.S.R. “In its international policy the U.S.S.R. is guided by the principle of the possibility of the lasting co existence of two opposite systems —the socialist and capitalist sys tems. The whole of the foreign pol icy of the U.S.S.R. bears testimony to the fact that the U.S.S.R. is un swervingly acting as the partisan of peaceful relations with all those countries which in their turn de sire to cooperate for the best of the world.” | ‘Olio 1 Oscar fflF. The day after he was unanimous ly confirmed by the senate, Oscar Chapman, the popular new secre tary of the interior, got some good- natured ribbing at the cabinet meet- ing. Asked President Truman quizzi cally: “How does it happen you got through so easily? I understand even Republicans made speeches praising you.” Replied Chapman: “A very simple explanation, Mr. President. The senate passed the oleo bill just before it took up my nomina tion. Oleo greased the way.” Formosa Row'Fizzles Three extra Republicans, look ing for fresh ammunition to attack Tinman’s policy on Formosa, showed up at the closed-door ses sion of the senate foreign relations committee. However, they went away empty-handed. The GOP bat tle cry to save Formosa petered out like a hoarse Hallowe’en horn. As the senators settled in their chairs for the meeting with Secretary of Defense John son and Chief of Staff Bradley, “*-*8 jovial Sen. Alex Wiley tried, to relieve the ten sion by pointing to a badge on his lapel with the initials “T.T. P. M “Do you know what those Initials mean?” ^0 asked the secretary of defense. Johnson shook his head, so Wiley boomed hilariously: “They stand for tired tax payer, and I sure am one.” Johnson then read a 10-minute opening statement, after which the ^senators began machine-gunning. Most of the quizzing was done by three Republicans—Alex Smith of New Jersey, Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, and Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. The three extra Republicans, not members of the committee, were Bill Knowland of California. Lev ere tt Saltonstall of Massachusetts, and Ed Thye of Minnesota. They asked no questions, for Knowland who scribbled for Hickenlooper to ask Johnson and Bradley. MIRROR Of Your MIND I ^ ^ Gruesome Stories Offer 'Therapy' By Lawrence Gould Is it morbid to like gruesome stories? Answer: It is the aggressive or sadistic side of you that makes you like such stories, but they may affect you in two different ways. In a relatively normal person, reading the gruesome details of an actual or fictional murder, and un consciously identifying himself (as most people do) with both the kill er and the victim, tends to ‘‘drain off” harmlessly the traces of childish or primitive impulses that otherwise might make trouble. But if the identification is a con scious one, the reading will tend to induce neurosis—or crime. Do psychiatrists treat all patients “impersonally”? Answer: No. There are types of emotional disturbance which are mainly the result of the victim’s feeling that nobody cares for or is interested in him, and no progress can be made with such a person unless you can get him to feel dif ferently. Especially with the schiz ophrenic, it is vital that the at titude of everyone who comes In contact with him shall seem friend^ ly and solicitous. Not until you are convinced that the psychia trist is your friend can he at tempt the sometimes humilating probing that complete cure will require. Is moral character inborn? Answer: No, writes Dr. Judd Marmor, California psychiatrist, in “Philosophy for the FifT’tie.” From the psychoanalytic stand point, you are born neither bad nor good, and the forms in which your potentialities develop de pend on the incentives offered to you by the society you grow up in, and above all by your parents. A child will adopt the patterns of behavior which he finds win the love and approval of his parents and the good will of his playmates, and without such an incentive any virtues he acquires will be forced and superficial. ^ LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE AfAFPtf A&OCIATBP W/TM THE er&AT NEW ORLEANS FB4TIVAL &ZWRZ LENT literally mean* eat TUBZPAY.

KEEPING HEALTHY Antihistamines Break Cold Early By Dr. James W. Barton O NE OF THE GREAT problems in industry is the great loss of time caused by the common cold. For many years various methods of breaking up a cold, before it gets a real hold on the patient, have been investigated. Most of these methods have not been suc cessful. A course of treatment which may be of great help in breaking up the common cold early is reported in “Industrial Medicine,” by Dr. J. M. Brewster, from investiga tions at a United States navy com pound. Drugs to counteract hista mine which is manufactured by the body were tried. Among these were benadryL pyribenzamine, pyranis amine and olhers. A cold was considered to have been broken up or cured when all signs and symptoms disappeared within 24 hours of the beginning of $ha treatment. All symptoms were aborted in 19 of 21 patients in whom treatment with antihista- minic drugs was begun within the first hour after the onset of the symptoms, and in 48 of 55 patients treated within two hours of the onset. One hundred and sixteen of 158 patients who received treatment within 12 hours of the onset, were also cured. Thus, as in other ail ments, the treatment is mere ef fective the earlier it is given. The results obtained by the usual form of treatment (codeine papaverine) wer- much less favorable than those obtained by the antihistamine drugs. Two or three doses of the anti- histaminic drugs at four-hour in tervals are enough to stop the symptoms in 90 per cent of the cases, if treatment is given with in a few hours after the first symp toms of the cold appear. Dr. Brewster believes that the number of colds will be reduced when the antihistaminic drugs get rid of the sneezing, coughing and profuse discharge from the nose which is now left Invisibly on door knobs, faucet handles, handrails and in the air.

READING: I Chron icles 16:28-29. Satan's Thrfine Lesson for February 26, 195i HOLD NO BRIEF for him” is a lawyer’s expression often borrowed by other peopl$. A law yer who holds a brief for a man has been employed tp represent him. It is his duty to present thp man in the best light possible. Now we know about the early church at Corinth from two sources: Luke and Paul. The book of Acts was w r i 11 en, among other rea sons, to show that the Christian church, far from being a subversive movement as its ^ enemies claimed, Dr - Fore,n “n was a benefit to the world. • Of course this was true; but since this was Luke’s purpose, he naturally omitted as much of the church’s shortcomings as he could, and played up the good features. * • • Church with the Lid Off Paul, on the other hand, writing to the church at Corinth (and to others as well), held no brief for them. He was not trying to praise them or to tell anybody how good they w|ere. He knew them Intimately; he had- indeed converted most of the members. His letters to Corinth, from which our lesson gives a small sample, shows us a church “with the lid off.” Here are Easily Made Appetizers! (See Recipes Below) Where Satan’s Throne Is Y EARS AFTERWARD, another Christian writer said of another church that they lived “where Satan’s throne is.” You might al most have said the same thing of Corinth. It was a large commercial city; people from everywhere tun neled into It. Like any city of this sort it had earned a reputatiem for wickedness of every kind—drink, liquor, gambling, women, cut throat business, rotten politics—it was all there. Even in the easy going Roman world, Corinth was notorious. Corinth was a sort of man made , jangle, like oar own great cities today. It made a sort of test case: If the chnrch could succeed in Corinth ft could succeed anywhere. v If the power of Christ could make new men and women out of the denizens of that great city, there was no jungle, man-made or nature-made where Christ could not go. Can men and women be Christian in the midst of a non-. Christian, even anti - Christian world? * • • Our Pagan World ( •pAUL’S, ANSWER, of course, is * Yes: on one condition. You must take your pattern for living from Jesus, not from the world around you. The big prdblem at Corinth, which included all other problems, was the fact that the Christians there were acting too much like the people outside the church. Christians must be differ ent! insisted Paul. This Is not en echo of a bygone time. Our own world is a new Cor inth. Even into the remotest village, the most Isolated farm, the world of our time pushes In, by radio, movies, maga zines and papers and advertis ing, even by schools and dubs. And it is a pagan world. Take the movies alone, that fer tile source of most young people’s ideas. Hollywood’s idea of mar riage—a temporary affair till bore dom do us part; Hollywood’s idea of a good time—liquor flowing free; Hollywood’s Idea of success —an immense house with an even bigger swimming pool. Not that there are no good mov ing pictures; but in general what is made glamorous on a thousand screens is anything but a Christian world. , » + » . And Be Ye Separate pAUL KNEW it is not practical * to have no contact with evil. He would not approve of Christians going into monasteries where they would henceforth see none but top- grade saints. Christians have to live in the world, even if they live where Satan’s throne is. But Chris tians ought to be different The world says: Drink makes no difference; men of distinction all do it The Christian knows better: Christ’s man of distinction will keep himself clean. The world says: Let yourself go, follow your impulses, look out for yourself. The Christian knows better: he is one bought with a price. We that are strong ought to help the weak and not to please ourselves. The world says: Do as other people do!

Appetizing Tricks W HAT’S MORE FUN before a , dinner ( party than an attrac tive tray of appetizers to help the conversation to a smooth start? Some hostesses like to prepare these tidbits before guests arrive so they’ll have a few minutes be fore dinner be gins to spend IHniii the time with their company; others have the fixings handy so folks can make their own. No matter how simple these tidbits are, they can be most attractive, and easily made if you keep a well stocked canned foods shelf. Serve with them some heated or chilled tomato juice or ice cold pineapple juice, and you’ll be giving your friends a really royal welcome. Many of the items pictured cm the tray above can be made ahead of time and kept chilled until a few moments before guests arrive. Some will require broiling just be fore serving. Olives: Spear tiny cubes of sharp cheese with toothpicks and top with staffed olives. Place these into a large grapefruit as a cen terpiece for your tray, if desired. Here are other ways with olives: wrap stuffed olives in half slices of bacon and broil until bacon is crisp. Or, spread olives with dev iled ham, roll in minced parsley and pierce each wifh a toothpick. Serve with a bowl of ripe olives, just as they are, with other ap petizers. * * + * r AST IS THE BASIS for many delicious canapes that are to be served hot. These may be pre pared in advance, then popped into the oven a few minutes before serving. ' Toasted Ham Canapes (Makes 15-20) l eap ground boiled ham K cup grated cheese x H teaspoon horseradish tt teaspoon prepared mus tard tt cap condensed tomato soap 5 slices bread, toasted Mix first five ingredients to gether. Toast bread, trim off crusts and -cut each slice into three or four strips. Spread with ham mixture, then toast under broiler until browned. / I F YOU PLAN to wait an hour or so before serving dinner, choose somewhat larger canapes to fill your guests. For such an occasion, rolls, tiny, but of course somewhat larger than toast pieces, are ideal: Crisp Roll-Ups (Serves 8) 4 long crisp rolls 1 enp minced, cooked chick en 6 tablespoons India relish 4 drops Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons salad dressing tt teaspoon grated onion tt teaspoon salt 8 stuffed olives, sliced Cut off ends two inches long from the rolls. Remove soft center from ends and fill hollow with mixture of remaining ingredients. Slice the stuffed olive and place on each cup. Serve with toothpicks. These rolls may also be filled with egg salad. LYNN SAYS: Leftover Fruits, Juices Have Many Uses To get a beautiful glaze for fruit tarts such as cherry and straw berry, use leftover apricot juice. Boil down 1 cup of the juice with Itt cups of sugar until thick. Spoon over tarts while still warm. Combinations of several fruit juices may be used successfully for glazing and flavoring baked ham Use any of the following: cherry, cranberry, peach, apricot, pineapple, pear or apple.
