Choosing Rod
To judge the quality of cane in a
rod, examine carefully each of the
six strips in each section. Make sure
the cane is split—not sawed across
the grain. Make sure that the nod
ules of the cane are staggered from
one strip to another so that no two
of them come exactly together.
Look for defects in the surface—but
do not be alarmed at slight dis
colorations. Even the best cane may
have slight harmless discolorations
or spots. Only the very finest rods
are culled to eliminate these minor
discolorations entirely.
Examine closely the guides, fer
rules and other fitments. They
should be of good materials, snugly
fitted, highly polished and absolute
ly free from rough places which
can slow up your cast and cut your
line. Silk winds should come up over
the shoulder of the ferrules, which
should be shaped to fit the six-sided
form of the rod. All fitments and
ferrules should be fully water
proofed and precisely matched.
Do not be deceived by the number
or color of silk winds or wraps on a
tly rod. A good fly rod needs no
winds to hold it together, or increase
its strength. Modern waterproof
glues produce joints stronger than
the cane itself, so winds are used
only to hold the guides in place
and for decoration. Only worthless
cheap rods use winds for extra
strength or stiffness.
Do not confuse stiffness with pow
er, or backbone with stiffness. Tour
nament rods are too stiff for prac
tical fishing. They are made for
tournament use—for either distance
or accuracy, and the makers sacri
fice some fishing qualities to gain
advantages under tournament rules.
For instance, the action in a tour
nament accuracy rod is over-con
centrated in the tip to produce a
flat trajectory and theoretically to
make possible pin point accuracy in
casting. The action in a tournament
distance rod is stiffened all along
its length, and fitments are cut to
a bare skeleton, to enable the rod
to handle an extremely heavy dis
tance line and to propel it for dis-
tances'far beyond those practical for
a fisherman.
There is no actual difference be
tween “dry fly action” and “wet fly
action.” A good dry fly rod is a good
wet fly rod and vice versa. A fly
rod is built to put your fly exactly
where you want it, to handle the fly
during the cast, and to play out the
fish after he is hooked. A good rod
does all these things perfectly
whether you are fishing dry or wet
flies. .

depths. There is a record instance of
a sperm whale becoming entangled
in a submarine cable 3*200 feet down.

Try 'Fish Eye'
If more fishermen tried lookinj
at fishing through the eyes of «
fish, they would more than double
their catch, says Homer Circle of
Heddon’s Research Department.
For instance, let’s imagine your
self a big bass hiding underneath
a patch of weeds. We’re hiding be
cause it lakes only a short rush
to grab a little fish that swims by.
In open water, ' this little fish
would keep too far away to catch
without an exhausting chase.
We’re watching for an easy meal
when along comes a guy in a boat,
splashing the oars as he rows near
our weed patch. He throws over the
anchor with a big splash, scrapes
his tackle box around on the bot
tom of the boat, and stands up
where he makes a sharp contrast
against the sky.
We’ve heard this sequence of
sounds so many times that we know
what to expect next. He’ll throw
a plug in our direction, thinking
we’re silly enough to grab it. We
didn’t grow big being thoughtless,
and we want to keep on growing,
so we let 'the plug alone.
However, some day one of those
guys who thinks like a fish is go
ing to slip up on us with no noise.
He will drift within casting distance
with no oars splashing.
To hold his boat in the wind,
he’ll have the anchor already down,
just over the bottom so that he can
lower it without commotion. He’ll
have a river runt plug at the tip
of his pal spook rod ready to cast,
and not have to fumble around
looking for it; and he’ll not stand
up to cast.
That guy stands a good chance of
adding us to his stringer, for all we
know is that a good looking meal
splashed in the water over our heads
and is trying to get away. Being
unsuspicious and either mad,
curious or hungry, we’ll more than
likely take a bust at it.
AAA
Bug Lures
If a fish doesn’t strike after first
quiver you’ve imparted to your
floating bug, let it lie still awhile
longer and then twitch it six or
eight inches. Wait again, even
though this is ofttimes hard on the
angler’s nerves. One naturally is
disposed to “hurry” the bug in so
another cast can be made right
away—but that won’t work. We say
again here that one cannot catch
fish with his lure in the air—it must
bo in tha water!

OPERATION UNITY
The East-West Struggle Places
Europeans in Political Quandary
By FARNHAM F. DUDGEON
Editor, WNU
Second in a Series
Europeans today ane having an
extremely difficult /time trying to
face in two opposite directions at
the same time. There is, of course,
the ever present Soviet threat of
military invasion.
Europe Is Concerned
But, as the United States enters
into a crucial election year in which
the fate of European military and
economic aid will be determined in
congressional debate in next No
vember’s election, these people are
extremely concerned with political
events in the United States.
American taxpayers can feel fair
ly sure on one important aspect of
this situation. Their representatives
from both houses of Congress have
poured into Europe in good num
bers to observe first-hand the po
litical and military situation as it
exists.
/
When the great debates start, both
in the halls of Congress and on the
campaign platforms of America’s
home towns, there will be a store of
first-hapd observations, which will
enable the American voters to ask
direct questions and be reasonably
sure of getting well-founded replies
with regard to the stake we have in
Europe.
Both American officials and the
officials of other countries told us
that these congressmen and sena
tors, who visited them, took a good
look and should be able to present
% clear picture. We noticed that
both political parties were well rep
resented in these congressional in
spection teams.
No Backing Down
If economic and military aid from
the United States were to be with
drawn, or seriously curtailed, it
would be difficult to speculate on
the outcome of such action. These
countries certainly would not im
mediately back down, or “go over
to the other side”.
Countries like Turkey, Greece and
Yugoslavia have no choice but to
stand as firmly as they can against
the Soviet Union. In Turkey we were
told, for example, that the world
would not be in such a sorry state
today if other countries had taken
as firm a position against Russia as
have the Turks.
In Yugoslavia there Is great con
cern on the part of many observers,
as to whether or not the people of
the United States are completely
convinced that the Tito defection
from the Kremlin has been complete
and unqualified. Our representatives
in Europe voice the general opinion
that Yugoslavia has, indeed, cast
her lot with the West.
In countries like Italy and France
there are thousands of people who
still vote as “Communists”. How
ever, the general appraisal of these
voters by American officials seems
to be that only a small percentage
are real “hard-core” Communists.
They ally themselves with Commu
nists and vote for Communist can
didates as a protest against the
other political parties which cur
rently govern these nations.
If the cold war turned to, a hot
one, these people would undoubtedly
fight against the Russian Commu
nists. There would be some local
sabotage, of course, but the majori
ty would support the west.
A subject of continuing specula
tion by thinking men in Europe to
day is this problem of the “will to
fight”. Europe is tired. Its economy
has been shattered by almost non
ending wars through the first half of
this century. Its people bear physi
cal and moral scars of these con
flicts.
Much of, the physical property
which was destroyed during World
War U has been rebuilt. But the
minds of the people who have sur
vived these wars are not rebuilt.
They look with understandable sus
picion upon alliances, which con
ceivably could thrust them into an
other war. And yet, at the same
time, they know that their fate is
completely tied to the democratic
principles of government best per
sonified today by the United States.
In their attitude toward peace and
war, these people are little different
than Americans. They know,.even
better than we do, the high and
horrible price of war. But, somehow,
one senses that they know, too, that
unity must be maintained against
Russian aggression.
Somehow, yt>u feel that they in
stinctively agree with General
Eisenhower, when he says:
Political Federation
*T believe that there will be no
permanent position of serenity and
confidence for the western world as
long as we ore confronted with the
Communist menace. As a counter,
there must be created a United
States of—or political federation of
—Western Europe; and Western Eu
rope must include at least Western
Germany, and preferably United
Germany.”
Many of the American officials
with whom we spoke sincerely be
lieve that such a federation of Eu
ropean countries is the only answer
to the enonomic and political prob
lems of these countries.
Such a union will not come easily,
but* the Europeans themselves know
that something other than continu
ing subsidization by the United
States must be done to give them an
equitable status in the world’s fam
ily of peoples. And it is here, in this
realm of future long-range planning,
that one encounters a European
viewpoint, perhaps not thoroughly
understood or appreciated by the
American taxpayer.
Two Personal Questions
In the early stages of our trip, we
encountered an American business
man, who was primarily concerned
with getting us to find the answers
to his two most important questions:
(1.) “Do these people (the Euro
peans) really appreciate what we
are doing for them?” and (2.)
“When are they going to get “off
the back” of the American tax
payer?”
“Appreciation” is hardly the word
for the feeling which most Europe
ans have for the United States, with
regard to the financial and military
assistance which it has rendered.
They know, and say freely and open
ly, that this aid has been their sal
vation. But by and large, these peo
ple are strongly nationalistic, and
they are not happy with their fate
of bfeing the recipients of American
“benevolence.”
They don’t feel that we are
“giving” them anything. They feel
that we are buying their partnership
in an alliance against a common
enemy.
They feel, also, that they would
like to have the aid, which we have
been givinf them, terminated just
as soon as it is militarily and eco
nomically safe to do so. They feel
that we are buying much with the
money we are spending in Europe.
Many of them are frank to say
that it is much better for Americ^
to have a “front” against Soviet
Russia located where it is today,
than it would be to have a front on
the Atlantic seaboard of the United
States. «

THE *
FICTION
CORNER
OVER THE COUNTER
By Richard Hill Wilkinson
D ALA WAS thinking of Bill when
the young man with the mus
tache leaned over her counter.
Kate Holland had said that she had
seen Bill and Reba Ellsworth danc
ing at Sutton’s. Kate was a gossip,
but Bill had cer
tainly been act
ing strangely of
late.
“You’re Miss
Scott, aren’t you?” the young man
said.
Dala glanced up at him and then
gave her attention to her switch
board. “Empire Hotel,” she said
into the receiver. “Mr. Ricker?
Just a moment, please.” She
plugged in. “You must be psychic,”
she said to the young man. “Or did
you inquire of one of the bellboys?”
The young man looked surprised.
“Neither. The clerk told me.”
“And now you’re - going to tell
me, I suppose, that you just bought
this hotel and unless I go out to
dinner with you tonight, I’m fired.”
“You’re quick,” said the young
man.
“It’s a good line, mister, but I
don’t like traveling salesmen. Be
sides, I’m busy—Empire Hotel?”
When she looked up again the
young man had gone. She was a
little surprised. Usullly they didn’t
give up so easily.
The telephone was ringing when
she turned the Key in her apart
ment door at 6:10 that evening. It
was Bill, of course. “Hello,” she
said, trying to force casualness into
her tone.
“Remember me?” said a
voice. “I’m the man who bought
the hotel.”
“Like a bad penny,” Dala
said. “Or didn’t yon understand ^
me?”
GRASSROOTS
Truman and Cohorts Leading America into Morass
By Wright A. Patterson
A S WAS THE CASE in the last
English elections, when the so
cialist Atlee was voted out and the
Conservative Churchill was voted
in, the one issue, the only issue,
was socialism. The English people
were asked to pass judgement on
the results of the socialistic ex
periment.
So in our presidential election
of next November the one issue
will be socialism for America.
The American people will have
the opportunity\of saying whe- «
ther or not they want to contin
ue the soclalistically inclined
Truman and his fair deal co
horts in office, or whether they
want a decided turn to the
right.
The proponents of socialism may
not express the issue as definitely
as that, but the voters should not
be fooled by any such phrase as
“welfare state,” that is but social
ism of the brand England has re
pudiated. And we will follow the
same road that has broken England,
darkened its factory chimneys,
blighted its fields, and left England
a fourth rate nation, despite the 35
billions of American money Wash
ington poured into that socialistic
rathole.
Socialists are the park-sitters of
the nation, those who are asking
something for nothing, who wish
to eat, without doing their share in
production.
The fair dealers would have Amer
ica hogged down in that same morass
im which England is now trapped.
They will not admit that fact; they
will bide behind lying promises. But
the fact remains that socialism for
America will be the issue in the
November elections. An effort may he
made to cover up that fact. But no
voter should perynit the weasel words
of politicians to convince him to the
contrary. His vote will be cast for
or against socialism. *
It took socialism, as operated by
the Atlee government, six short
yeafs to destroy England, to change
it from a reasonably prosperous
people. She did not recover from
the ravages of World War II as did
the other nations of Europe. Pro
duction went continuously down,
rather than up as in other Europe
an nations.
It will take* many more than
six years for England to re
cover from the blighting effect
of six years of socialism, and
through those years will be
many, very many, heart aches
and back aches, all because of
six years of socialism. Social
ism changed England from a
nation upon which the sun
never set, to a nation upon
which the sun no longer rose.
President Truman has made
every possible effort to drive
through congress such legislation
as would have made of us a so
cialistic nation. To some extent he
was successful, but the major
moves will come after the conven
ing of the 83rd congress in Jan
uary of 1953. The verdict of the
voters will have been registered
before that date. For the protec
tion of America, for all of us other
than the “dole” collectors, those
who wduld eat, but not work, that
verdict must be against socialism.
Do not permit any weasel words of
politicians to fool you. Socialism
will be the issue of the next politi
cal campaign.

For close to 200 years Benjamin
Franklin has been reverenced as
the patron saint of printing and
publishing interests in America,
but there is another line of vast
importance for whiefc he was the
pioneer leader. That line is mu
tual fire insurance. On March 25,
1752, there was started in Phila
delphia a concern called “Contri-
butionship.” It was the first mu
tual insurance company in the na
tion. Its organizers were Benja
min Franklin and a group of asso
ciates, mostly Pennsylvania farm
ers. The idea spread, and now
there are 2,616 mutual fire and
casualty insurance companies op
erating in this country, into which
were paid last year as premiums
more than one billion 400 million.
That business was conceived in
the mind of Franklin. It stands as
monument to his genius in a radic
ally different line from that of
printing and publishing. These mu
tual companies are operated by
and for their policy holders.
*
At this time of each year I am
pleased that I live .in southern
California, even though the weather
man fails to produce rain.
“Thanks a heap,” said Dala.
“I’ll remember yoo In my
prayers.”
“Just called to assure you that
your job is safe,” the voice told her
cheerfully.
“Thanks a heap,” said Dala. 'Til
remember you in my prayers.” She
hung up.
Bill didn’t call that night. No
one did. Dala spent a lonesome
evening. She was almost glad the
next day when the young man with
the moustache appeared.
“By the way,” he grinned.
“You’re supposed to give out infor
mation, aren’t you?” She admitted
it by nodding, at the same time
droning her usual “Empire Hotel”
into the mouthpiece. “Then what’s
your name?” he asked.
She swung around to face him,
but somehow decided against the
retort that rose to her lips. “It’s
Dala,” she said. “But calling me
Dala won’t help.”
“Thanks. Mine’s Johnny.”
D ALA was returning from lunch
when she ran into Bill. He was
in a hurry. Or said he was. He only
stopped for a minute.
The realization made her kind of
sick at heart. No matter whether
you loved a man op not, it was
something of a blow to find out he
was two-timing you.
She jumped when the young man
with the moustache spoke into her
ear. -*T die hard, ,r he grinned.
“There’s still tonight. And J prom
ise to be good.”
Dala looked at him and thought
of Bill. “All right,” she sighed re
signedly^
They had dinner at a restaurant
where Dala hadn’t eaten before.
She liked the place and wondered
what Johnny did for a living.
Two nights later Johnny took her
to a show and later to a night club.
R was then she began to wonder
about him.
He regarded her In surprise
when she put the question. “But,
I’ve already told you. I’m the
man who bought the Empire.
I thought you knew.”
She said nothing until they were
in the lighted hallway of her apart
ment house.
“Now tell me,” she said, looking
at him. “Tell me again.”
He told her and suddenly the
floor seemed to give away beneath
her. She turned, but he caught her
hand. “What difference does ft
make?” he pleaded. *T knew you
didn’t know.”
She put her hand over his mouth.
“Don’t say it. The answer is yes.
It’s a terrible shock. You see, Fye
just recovered from being made a
fool of by one man. And now
this--”
“This, he told her gravely, “is
different. We’ll make it different.
Shall we?”
She nodded.

IN WASHINGTON

WALTER SHEAD, WNU Correspond^n;
The Weekly Press
A S we go into a new year this re
porter believes that to save
democracy as a form of government
in these United States, it is essen
tial to (1) believe in the principles
of democracy and (2? to have con
fidence in our democratic govern
ment.
This is an election year and indi
cations are that controversies in
the campaign will be bitter. The
electorate must learn to distinguish
facts from lies, the real from the
phoney. And above all, the elec
torate must not lose confidence in
the goveenment.
The American people are, by and
large, able to determine their own
destiny. They have done a pretty
good job up to now: Once in a while
they make a mistake, but at the
first opportunity they generally cor
rect those mistakes. That is the
record of the past and the saving
value of our system of elections.
The election this year is an im
portant one. We not only elect a
new house of representatives, but
also 32 members of the senate and
a President and Vice President. Of
the 32 senate members, only 12 are
Democrats and 20 are Republicans.
Of the 12 Democrats, only two seats
are in danger of Republican suc
cession, but at least six of the 20
Republican seats may be captured
by Democrats.
If the people of this country
are to be well informed on the
real issues of this campaign, the
responsibility will rest upon the
weekly and small town daily
press of the country. The re
sponsibility of getting this mate
rial to the grass roots press
rests not only npon the candi
date, but the Republican and
Democratic national commit- ‘
tees.
The metropolitan newspapers
carping and criticizing today are
the same ones who have done so
for the past 25 years, that is, through
fivd national elections. They repre
sent 90 per cent of the newspapers
in the metropolitan field and more
than 90 per cent of the circulation.
However, these newspapers have
had little or ho influence with the
American people en masse, repre
senting as they do the thinking of
only a small segment of the people.
And despite their determined op
position, they have lost every na
tional election on every issue since
1932.
* * e
Real and Sham Issues
They will lose the 1952 election be
cause the American/ people still
have confidence in themselves and
are able to distinguish the real from
the sham issues. Recently an ac
curate and comprehensive poll of
weekly newspaper publishers of the
nation indicated that President Tru
man would be the Democratic nom
inee and he would be reelected.
Every poll of metropolitan news
papers points to the defeat of Presi
dent Truman. Polls by these papers

Spitzbergen Coal
Mined By Russians
i The coldest crossroads of th*
cold “frar are Norway's jagged
Spitsbergen islands, where polar
bears nose inquisitively into the
only mining settlements operated,
by S6viet Russia'on the free side
of the Iron Curtain.
Svalbard — “land of the cold
cqast”—is the ancient Norse name
for this Arctic archipelago which
became part of the Kingdom of
Norway a quarter of a century
ago. Once an international no
man’s land, Svalbard has recently
become a strategic question mark.
It straddles potential polar air
routes between Europe and North
America. But under a 1920 treaty,
the islands cannot be fortified, and
signing nations (United States,
Great Britain and its Dominions,
France, Italy, Japan, the Nether
lands, Denmark, Sweden, and
Russia) are guaranteed continued
access to any economic interests
they might hold there.
Today both Norway and Russia
mine Spitsbergen coal. Norway is
a member of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization; Russia is
not. Svalbard’s status is some
where between.

Newspaper Policy
This reporter has a great re
spect for the newspaper profes
sion. Bat we have little respect
for a newspaper which orders its
reporters to slant the news, to
write “policy” stories. There .
can be enough criticism of any
administration without manu
facturing issues and writing half-
truths; without using the slanted
headline which incite way bears
out the story; and without ask
ing questions in press confer
ences of the “have yon quit
beating your wife?” type.

RFC Report
Apropos of what we have just
written, have any of you read a
story about the annual report of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion? It is important for the reason
that it covers the operation of the
corporation during the fiscal year
ending July 1, 1951, the period of
alleged “graft and corruption” in
RFC
The report submitted by Stuart
Symington, administrator, shows
that $16,345,812 was turned to the
U.S. treasury as dividends on the
capital stock of $100,000,000—a fact
we doubt was equaled in private
industry in this country.
In addition, the corporation
turned over to the treasury $75,-

and $4,000,M0 net en liquidation «

Tha Shakedown ,
The fines levied against the four
American airmen forced down in
Hungary by that country’s Commu
nist government is being called trib
ute by many Americans—an ugly
and degrading word to Americans
since the birth of the republic. It
brings to mind Robert Goodloe Har
per’s dramatic declaration against
paying tribute to France during the
undeclared war of 1798: “Millions
for defense, but not a cent for trib
ute.” Hungary demanded $120,000.
