! BY PETER EDSON
. NEA Washington Correspondent,
WASHINGTON. — Biggest difference befween
Truman and Roosevelt, say some of the recent
busihess callers at the White House, is that Tru
man doesn’t do all the talking, listens to: what his
visifors have to say. Another marked difference
is that officials who used to pass the buck on theirl
hottest problems, laying them on Roosevelt’s desk |
for set‘lement, are now t{old in effect that they
‘were hired as cooks, not as waiters, so they should
start doing their own cooking.
World War One general of the armies, John J.
Pershing, was invited to the White House cere
monies in honor of World War Two general of @hel
armies, Dwight D. Eisenhower, but had to decline.
Hisag’zmh is considered good for his age—he will
be 85 in September-—but he is not considered
strong cnough to undergo public functions. Even
General George S, Patton did not see Pershing
when “old blood and guts” went to visit the
wounded at Walter -Reed Hospital; where *“Black
Jack” now lives simply in small quar«iers-. In the
last war, Eisenhower and Patton were just a cou
ple of other majors in the infant tank corps.
AN ICKES STORY
Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes held
hearings the other day on establishment of the
Parker River National Wildlife Refuge in Massa
chusetts, and guite a delegation of New England
blue bloods came down to protest. One claimed
his ancestors had hunted the land for 200 years
and another said his ancestors had hunted it for
300 years. Finally one witness declared he was
opposed to the whole game sanctuary idea because
his forefathers had been on this. land for 1,000
years. That stopped Ickes cold: .
“You don’t understand, sir,” the witness explain
ed, "I'm an Indian.”
Ickes snorted. “If your ancestors were able to
keep the ancestors of these other persons presentl
from taking th¢ land away all this time, you cer
-lainly deserve special.consideration." |
Ickes is heatl of the Office of Indian Affairs, as
well as the fish and wildlife service.
General Omar S. Bradley got lost in the Vet~
erans’ Building maze the other day, and so got a
foretaste of what's in store for him when he re
tum_é to Washington to take over as Veterans' Ad
ministrator. Just after he got his appointment,
Bradley said he waned to walk through the Vet
erans’ Building alone, to size things up. But when
. he had been gone an hour, friends phoned the
building and started guards on a search, Twenty
minutes later they found him wandering in a dis
tant corridor, apparently too. embarrassed to ask
his way out.
General Bradley is understood to have accepted
the Veterans' job only on condition that it would
be @ feniporary assignment. After the bureau is
modernized, Bradley wants to go back te active
service, He is now in Europe turning over his
command, won't return to Washington for another
60 days or so. I
THIS MOTORIZED AMERICA .
Brig.-Gen. B. M. Bryan, jr., assistant to the pro
vost marshal-general in charge of German prison—!
ers of viar in the United States, tells how the firsti
‘Nazis arriving at a southern camp accused thel
guards of having the same cars driven up and
down the road just to impress them with the fact
that everyone in this country owned an automo
bile.. The camp was near a war plant, and thel
PW's couldn’t otherwise explain why there should
be 80 many cars on the road at shift—changingl
e -
“With typical Teutonic thoroughness,” says Gen-'l
eral Bryan, “they checked the license plates. When
they did realize that all were different, they fin
ally admitted everyone in this country did own 2
car and that we were telling them the truth.”
It's funny how one day of real hot sun cools
off all the cussing over colds, sinus and cough
ing.
When captured, Ribbentrop 'said he was “on a
ission from the dead Fuehrer.” We suggest he be
mallowed to go where he can report back to” Hitlet

' they can find a building in which to meet? -
GEORGIA PINES
It may be of interest to learn that
Georgia ranks second of ‘the Southern
states in pine tree planting. Last year sta
tistics showed that 1,489,750 seedlings
were planted in this state, the major por
tion of the state we have soil suitable for
growing pine trees profitably. The School
of Forestry at the State College of Agri
culture here has contributed much to the
development of this industry throughout
the state. In 1944, in eleven southern
states 11,000,000 seedlings were distribu
ted for planting with the cost to the pur
chaser ‘amounting to around $1.756 per
thousand. These low prices were made
possible by co-operation of the United
States Forestry Department.
Pine trees not only produce good wood
érops and help control soil erosion -but
from am industrial standpoint are profita
ble—chemicals, turpentine, paper and
even synthetic metal are obtained for
commercial use from the wood of the pine
tree. .
Pine forests require little tending, ex
cept protection from fires, anq pay the
owner dividends for in excess of the cost
of planting. '
GERMANY PAST AND PRESENT
Whet should shock us most about the
revelation of recent Germany atrocities is
the fact that we are so shocked.
Now in the news-columns of the daily
papers, the photographs in magazines, the
eve witness accounts, the tales of return
ing soldiers, the terrible motion picture
records, we are seeing what the Germans
did, or allowed to be done, to slave labor,
political prisonenrs, and prisoners of war.
Yet it is an appalling revelation . of our
own state of mind that we have had to
wait for these revelation to drive the
shock home to us.: ;
Does any one thing that this a new
manifestation of Germanim? Did no one
ever stop to consider that if you train the
cream of your university youth, long, long
before Hi_tl'er, to fight duels for the scars
that were honorable on their faces, you
were ereating Lubin camp? Did no gne
ever stop to consider that when the cruel
brutality of the Gestapo was applied even
to their own people, led many to suicide—
Dachau was being built? No on® stopped
to consider that the extermination of the
Jews of Europe by the Master Race would
lead straight to the starved skeletons of
French, Polish, Russian, British and Amer
jcan prisoners of war? :
Why are we shocked now? Was not the
time for shock also in 1870, in 1914, in
19337 Germanism has merely reached its
logical and inevitable end. These things—
Dachau, Lubin, Vught, Stalag—all the
horriable list, these .are but the results,
foretold, long pefore Hitler, long, long
before V-E Day. :

DID ‘IT EVER
OCCUR TO “U”
LA I
| Items for this column are
~ written approximately, a -
~ week in advance of publica
tion.
- We are reminded that in
this section of the city n
which we live, at one tim:,
it was one of the most pro
lific farms in Clarke county.
All that tract of land from
Milledge avenue, out Springdale
street, to near the Bobbin Mill
property, then across the country
to the Watkinsville road, now
known as Lumpkin street, down to
Milledge avenue, was known as
the Meeker farm. Mr. ‘Johnny
Meeker and his mother moved
here from the north, purchased
this land and converted it into
one of the most modern farms in
this section. Even in those early
days, Mr. Meeker believed in di
versification of crops, especially
in grain, He grew very little cot
ton.
Along Milledge avenue,
from Springdale street 1o
what is now known as Wood
lawn avenue, he grew some
of the finest wheat we have
ever seen.
Every year Mr. Meeker would
increase his acreage in cultiva
tion. Clearing the land of ihe
forest, he sold a great deal c?
would for local consumption. We
do not remember the number of
acres in this farm, but we do
know that it was stocked with
partridges and rabbits. This farm
was the. favorite section for the
boys eof the town to do their
hunting. There were few bird
dogs here at the time; Dmt the
hound was the favorate rabbit
dog- and a single barrel shotgun
made up the outfit of the average
boy's hunting paraphanalia.
In later years, Mrs. Meeker
died and Mr. Meeker return
ed to his former home in tha
north, at least that is our rec
ollection. We may be mistak
en, however.
The first purchaser of the
Meeker farm was Dr. H. H. Cari
ton, former Congressman from
this district. The purchase was
considered one of the largest
deals made in this county
years. Many improvements had
been made on the property. A
handsome home was built also
barns. stables. The most modern
improvement was the erection of
a windmill, for pumping water
out of a well for watering the
stock. The windmill attracted a
great deal of interest, people
coming here from miles around
to see it in opevation.
After the purchase of this
property by Dr. Carlton. he
sold it to the late Judge:
