By WALTER BREAD
Washington Correspondent,
National Weekly Newspaper Servlee
(This Is the last et fear articles ea
Indochina and the Far East).
W TI.I. individual Americans top-
port a strong policy in Indo
china and in southeast Asia which
might risk a shooting war?
It was under the belief that they
would not support such a policy
that some congressional leaders in
this administration refused to back
up Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles and the policy lie advocated
. . . either united action or massive
retaliation. Particularly was this
true this year with a congressional
election coming up in November.
Whether this is a true appraisal of
the thinking of the American peo
ple or not, has no place in this
article. The fact remains that On
this assumption, true or false, the
United States elected to bow in
deference to its two principal
allies, Britain and France, at Ge
neva. Further, the belief that the
American people were sick of war
and would no longer support the
Korean conflict, led to the almost
frantic peace at any price settle
ment in Korea.
And so it remains to be seen
whether or not, as Mr. Dulles pre
dicts, failure to follow a resolute
policy now, will result in greater
war danger within a few years.
And so without accomplishing
real peace, the American taxpayer
will go on spending his tax money
in both Indochina and Korea, in
Japan, in Formosa . . to main
tain the huge military and naval
bases we have extending from
Alaska and the Aleutian islands
down through Japan, Korea, For
mosa, Okinawa, the Philippines
and other Pacific islands. We main
tain an army of occupation in Ja
pan, and another huge * army is
ranged along the truce line in Ko- a result oi tne uneasy Kpre:
rea. In addition we are extending both Russia and the Chinese Red*
loans, economic aid and Point Four
assistance in India, Pakistan,
Nepal, Afghanistan, Indonesia and
Arabia.
bt^ federal budget for 1954 in
cluded $800,000,000, exclusive of
military-end items, programmed
for Indochina. The budget for 1955
asks for $712,000,000 exclusive of
military-end items. We have given
and will continue to give techpical
assistance through the Foreign Op
erations Administration on repair
and improvement of roads, air
ports, seaports, seed and crop im
provement and other assistance.
We are the biggest importer of
raw natural rubber from Indochina,
importing some 72,000 metric tons
last fiscal year. Already teama of
fc’OA technical experts are in In
dochina making a reappraisal for
Point Four and economic assist
ance needs in the remaining free
area. There are those in. the isola
tionist group in Congress who de
clare, as they (have on all the eco
nomic aid programs, that this
American money is' just being
poured down a drain. In this case,
money going to Indochina is also
a support for the whole budgetary
position of the French nation which
includes the French commitments
to NATO in Europe. Without this
help in Indochina, France could
not have met her commitments to
support NATO which this country
considers vital to the buttressing of
the entire western world against
Communist Russian imperialism in
Europe.
So aside from the human element
these are some of the stakes the
American people have in Indochina.
Up to this day it has not been the
American way to desert an ally nor
a weak nation seeking its own lib
erty as is Indochina.
There is clear evidence that as
a result of the uneasy Korean truce.
were able to divert huge quanti
ties of ammunitions and the * ma
terials of modem warfare to the
Indochinese front. And both nations
furnished some manpower at the
division level in experienced offi
cers. While there is no open proof
any Chinese army was used in the
invasion of Laos, or in the fight
ing in north Vietnam, there is
plenty of evidence that the cease
fire in Korea permitted the Reds
to step up their aggression and
support of Ho chi Minh with pow
erful artillery, tanks and ammuni
tion.
It also must be admitted that
French failures in Indochina were
not only military, but political as
well Some Far East experts be
lieve that only a miracle can save
Laos and Cambodia from being
swallowed up without much trou
ble. The guarantees of their secur
ity and independence were so
weakened in the final Geneva
agreement they probably cannot
be saved from Communist penetra
tion without open intervention.
That’s ^he Indochina-Far East
stake. If the American people sup
port Secretary Dulles in his firm,
resolute policy there’s the chance
the Reds may back down, and
communist aggression may be
halted in its tracks. That’s the best
that could happen. The worst would
mean, world war III . An atomic-
hydrogen bomb war.
If we back down and further
appease the power-hungry Reds, it
copld mean the loss of all for
which we fought in the Pacific . . .
the Philippines, for intsance. Japan
and Korea would become other Red
satellites behind the iron curtain
and the U. S. perimeter of defense
would be withdrawn eastward in
the Pacific.
The question is, do we have the
leadership for such resoluteness
now, and will the American peopls
back up that leadership?

ONE IN BILLION . . Wm. Wood Prince, president of Chicago Stock-

of Humboidl, la., one dollar for each of its 1180 pounds.
T^INDING a vacant seat in a dark
^ theatre is a difficult task for
anybody, even worse for folks who
don’t see well anyway.
Have you ever walked up and
down the aisle, squinting and blink
ing to accustom your eyes to the
semi-darkness, until you located a
seat, smack in the middle of the
center row, struggled over moun
tains of feet to get to it and settle
down comfortably only to hear
someone blast out, “This seat is
saved!”
If you go to movies, its happened
to you.
Its also happened on a crowded
bus. You’re beat, had a hard day.
Your feet are two chunks of lead.
The bus is crowded and you’re next
to the last person to get on. There’s
one seat left at the back of the bus.
You don’t know how, but you get
there, flop down next to a sweet
young thing who, you guessed it, is
sorry, but she’s saving the seat for
someone—the boy who got on right
behind you.
You lose patience with all sorts
of “seatsavers” when you study
some of them carefully. I’ve seen
seats saved successfully in a movie
for an hour or two; at ball games
through the first tilt of a double-
header. One enterprising youngster
even saved a bus seat—while peo
ple were standing up—for seven or
eight blocks. She simply sat on the
outside and refused to move over
or let anyone sit next to the win
dow. The-people standing, all work
ing folks, were apparently too tired
or indifferent to create a scene,
I wouldn’t ask anyone to save a
seat for me, unless it was a life
long friend heading into the here
after and I knew him well enough
tp know whither he was headed up
or down.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY

Our first ball games in the Stone
Hills were played down in the
pasture with balls made from
raveled home-made stockings.
The thread went into the mak
ing of those stockings was made at
home too, from our own cotton and
wool. Those stockings were very
durable. But a snag or a hole
meant a ravel. And there^was no
stopping that ravel, once it started
good. So the old folks let us have
that sort.
We’d wind tha£ raveled thread’
into a tight ball. And when it get
the right size, we’d sew it good to
hold it. Then it was a durable
ball. When it got wet it was heavy
and dead. You couldn’t knock it
far then. We used that sort with
out gloves, masks, or any equip
ment. Bats were home-hewn from
ash.
As we got older, regular base
balls came in. But they cost mon
ey, something we had very little
of. So we had few, and played with
them until the cover wore off. And .
then we would recover them some- 1
times. A - crude job with rawhide
leather. We never had over one
or two at a time, a rather good
one and a worn and fuzzy one.
I remember one time our team.
Spring Hill, was playing White
Rock out there. Folks had taken
their Saturday’s baths' pnd come
out in their clean overall^ in which
they would work next week. We
had only one ball that day. Several
of us smaller kids were playing
“pig-tail” as usual. That was to
stay about 100 feet back of the
catcher and throw the ball back
in when it was fouled.
One of our champion batters
came to bat about the sixth inn
ing and knocked it over the center
^elder’s head out there in Mr. Ed
Shealy’s sweet potato patch. He
fell down, running across those
high potato beds, and lost sight of
where the ball went. The whole
crowd of perhaps 60 people went
out there and helped look. But we
never found that elusive pellet,
and the game had to be called off.
We were ahead and wanted the
game to count. A lot of loud argu
ment took place. But they, won it,
and we played it over the next
Saturday.
