Top Navy Brass Seems so Be
.
Consent With New Secrefary
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON—Just as it's getting light every
morning & solemn-faced, inconspicuous man leaves
the side entrance of the Mayflower Hotel and walks
briskly two blocks to St. Matthew’s Cathedral.
When the dawn Mass is finished he walks back to
the hotel, usually arriving just in time to get the
first brsakiast served in the dining room. An hour
before the mobs of government workers jam Con
necticut Ave. on their ‘way to- work, this man has
been whisked down that famous street in a long
black limousine to his daily chores.
Tew men have ever come to Washington to take
as hot & job as this man has, and remain so anony
mous in it. It has made him a sort of man ol
mystery. He is Francis Patrick Matthews, secretary
of the Navy.
Mystery surrounds Matthews because he could
be the key man in solving some of the crucial uni
fication problems which have created pandemonium
in the Pentagon. Yet nobody knows anything about
him. Some of the questions which high and low
militery men slike now spend hours discussing in
clude: “Is Matthews just a ‘yes’ man for Secretary
of Defense Johnson?” “Is he all ou tfor the Navy?”
“Is he & good enough #ader to restore some of the
Navy's shattered morale?” “Why don’t you ever
hear about him?”
LEARNING A LOT
The answer to the last question is that starting
‘bout now you probably will be hearing a lot about
‘im, #nd from him. The four months he has been in
ffice have been & cram course for him on Navy
\cte, figures and traditions. He has visited West
oa®t bases, seen the academy at Annapolis, made
ope at several East Coast shipyards, made a quick
ip to Pearl Harbor and took a brief excursion on
big carrier. From morning to night, between trips,
.amse of specialists from every branch of the Navy
ave made presentations to him about their duties,
obs end problems. He quizzed them and pumped
hem go thoroughly that when they left, they usual
ly fe}t as though they'd had an old-fashioned police
arilling.
As Matthews puts it, “If you're going to boss an
outfit you've got to know something about -it.”" He
ihinks ha Enowe anaugh ahont it now to start some
hossing in earnest. .
Once every three weeks Matthews has gone ‘o
the White House to see the President, with Johnson
and other defense officials. At each visit Matthews
has had more to say and his opinions have been
listened to more respectfully. The character of his
daily meetings with Johnson and his affable under
secretary, Dan Kimball, have changed. They have
discovered that his mild manner is deceptive and
that he's capable of & sharp retort, blunt answers
and spirited debate on many occasions. Officials
who hegve sat in on those meetings report that
Matthews is no “yes-man,” period.
LOYAL AND ABLE MEN
The abilities of naval officers he has met have
impressed Matthews most, he reports. “I was as
tounded to find in the Navy the great number of
top-caliber executives among the officers, whe
could be earning $30,000 a year or more in private
business,” he says. “The loyalty to their service
which keeps such men of outstanding ability and
backgrownd in uniform has been a real revelation
to me."
Hie habit of working late, which he got into as
an attorney and businessman in Omaha, worries
him now. “I used to be able to work until 8 or 8 in
the office along,” he explains. “Now when I stay
late, five people who should be home living normal
lives have to hang around, too,” he says. “I've been
trying to get away as close to 5:30 as possible and
take the work back to the hotel.”
He doesn't think Washington can hold a candle
to Omaba as a place to live and is unimpressed
with Washington’s highly touted social life. His
wife and unmarried daughter have spent the sum
mer visiting their four other married daughters.
Mrs, Matthews is coming to town permanently soon
and they plan to stay in their small apartment in
the Mayflower. *“We've got one perfectly good house
in Omsha and that's enough for us” he reasons.
Thofimtkick)l&tflwmge&outnfthejoh is
being sble to take old friends from Omaha, who
happen to drop into town, on the yacht Sequoia,
which is assigned to him, for dinner.
The officers who have worked most closely with
him sppear well-satisfled with Phe Secretary of
Navy they've drawn.
The god of war has been kicked away from the
conterence table and we are now able to sit down
and do business—Brig.-Gen. Frank L. Howley, re
tirlng American commandant of Berlin, on U. S.-
Russizn relations.
Conservation of soil and water must always be
an essential part of any adequate and realistic farm
program that is designed to shfeguard permanent
abundance and prosperity.—Secretary of Agricul
ture Charles F. Brannan.
. . . i
Reversing Industrial Picture
It has not been so many years since the other
parts of the nation < laughed at the industrial
claims of the Southgastern States of the American
union, But that day is now gone. The manufae
turing interests of the country are sitting up and
taking notice. They see the handwriting, on the
wall, They fully recognize that this section is des
tined in the future to dominate the the industrial
development of America,
Quite a number of years since there began &
steady movement of the textile industry from
New England to the South, At first it was given
no great amount of notice by New England, but
the movement grew until this part of the country
had a majority of the spindles in the entire country,
Our large number of water powers are now be
ing utilized and the result has been undreamred
of advancement, Some of the new industries have
been large ones, but what is most noticeable is the
utilization and development of the thousands of
smaller industries. The South no longer is regarded
as a Strictly agricultural section, though it is quite
true ‘that much of the development gs this secticn
has been along agricultural lines,
For the past eight years Dixie has topped all
other sections in industrial gains as shown by the
report published by the Modern Industry Magazine,
The thorough review made of industry by that
leading magazine shows that as teo industrial gains
the Southeast section of the United States leads all
other sections and the other Southern states but
slightly in the rear.
The combination of climate, electricity, water
power development, labor conditions, health con
ditions, and all essentials to rapid and satis
factory developments are with the South
and especially the Southeastern section, Georgia is
in this favored section,
.
* Too Demanding for a Woman
Should a woman be president?
Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, Maine Republican,
thinks so, The other day'she said the party that
nominates a lady for either the presidency or vice
presidency in 1952 will have all the best chance in
the elections.
On the other hand, Mrs, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
probably the best-known woman in American life,
doubts that the time is right for a woman to oc
cupy the highest positions in the nation,
We tend to side with Mrs, Roosevelt, No ques
tion, women have made tremendous strides since
they “first began taking part in politics .Right now
there is a liberal sprinkling of them in Congress,
some of them admittedly able lawmakers. Mrs.
Smith herself belongs in the latter category. The
country ha shad woman governors and many suc
cessful lady mayors.
But a woman for president is something eise, iis
an old story that the job is a man killer, And few
women in either business or poiitics have ever had
to bear the sort of constant physical pressure a
president feels. A woman might stand up under
the test beiter than we imagine. But in these tur
bulent times the country can’t take the risk of
finding out.
Still more important, it seems to us, is the mat
ter of temperament .The emotional make-up of
women raises serious doubt that a lady president
could offer the tough mindedness the job demands
ithese days.
For example, how many women can you picture
telling off John L. Lewis and making it stick? And
can you see some Madame President holding her
own at a future international conference where
Molotov or some other crafty Russian is the adver
sary?
Life in the woraday world of high-level poli
tics is a pretty brutal business today. The tension,
the hammering give-and-take, the endless jockey
ing for position, all call for mental and physical
stanrina that few men—let alone women—posess
in ample amount,
And then, too, one can conjure up all sorts of
minor dififculties, Presuming a lady president were
married, what would be her husband’s status?
Comedian Bobby Clark took a crack at-this prob
lem in “As the Girls Go”. According to him all the
poor guy can do is substitute for the White House
barber, entertain visiting firemen, and generally
behave as a kind of upgraded Harry Vaughan.
Would Madame President be able to throw out
the first ball when the baseball sesaon opens?
Would the presidential plane be redecorated in
chartreuse and other distinctly léminine shades?
Would we get a lady secret service? How would
she look in Indian feathers? You can see the thorny
path that would lie ahead.
No, the idea had best be shelved until times get
a little easier. Someday it probaby will happen.
and when it does it will be good for the country.
It will furnish the world with a dramatic example
that in a democracy any individual, regardless of
sex, may rise to the topmost place among the na
tion's leaders . :
If you own a swamp in the South and are lucky
enough to get the corps of Engineers to drain it for
you you can sell it at any price you can get—the
people of the U. S. pay the bill.—Rep. Adolph J.
Sabath (D), Illinois on the Army Engineers’ lobhy
in Washington.
Recognition is a politician’s meat and drink. If
they don’t get it, they are nothing.—Democratic
national chairman William Boyle on bringing Dix
iecrats into line.

“.o & BUICK DEALER FOR 20 YEARS”
Woarien C. Thurmond — President
N. Crittenton, of New York who
conducted a number of meetings
in this city over forty years ago.
Thése meetings were conducted
in the First Methodist Church and
were attended by hundreds of de
voted laymen who crowded that
large auditorium for mcre than a
week, .
Mr, Crittenton was a wealthy
drug manufacturer in New York.
He lost his daughter, Fiorence, in
the years of her young childhood
and found it difficult to reconcile
himself to her death. It was dur
ing those years of grief that he
made up his mind to e.ect a mem
orial to herinto which he poured

Foothall And The
Game Of_ Life
I want you to know that I'm one
of the best rocking-chair quarter
backs in existence today (none of
this arm chair stuff for me). I
ldnn’t say Bozo Clodfeller 111 isn’t
‘good; but I base my claim to being
an expert on four games of touch
football played once iong ago.
For any team to win there must
certainly be experienced personnel
on the team, But what can a team
do if it does not have a good
coach? The coach must teach the
men the correct way to pla{) the
game. I seldom wear a hat, but I
have put one on just so I can lift
it to coach "Wallace Butts and his
staff. They make it possible for the
team i know how the game of
football should be plaved. Coach
Butts may not realize it, but the
position he freguently assumes
during a game is a very important
one. When things get tight he so
often goes onto one knce. Whether
the position and his thoughts coin
cide I could not say. In the game
of life there must be a coach who
can lead and teach the proper way
to live. That same position is im
portant for all of us if we would
know this way of life, Just as T!
redeem their misspent lives and
through whose influence thous
ands of wayward gPrT: have been
restored to useful and honorable
lives.
Mr. Crittenton gave up his pros
perous business, turned it over to
his efficient directors and mana
gers, kept it going and used its
large annual income for the estab
lishment and maintenance of Flor
ence Crittenton Homss for these
wayward girls in several sections
of the United States and made
fiqr himself a name that ecannot
ie.
He was a wonderful man, a man
of the most attractive personality
who rallied to his side thousands|
of devoted Christian meu and wo
men whose iabois were directed
to the establishment and success
ful management of these homes.
During his visit to Athens he
conducted two services a day and
took such a hold on the part of
the people of Athens that it would
be impossible to evaluate the good
resulting from his work here.
Hehad a special appeal to the
men of the community. I't is doubt
ful whether any laymen or preach
er ever made a deeper impression
on the men of Athens. It was es
pecially true that the business
believe Coach Butts to be one of
the greatest living footbal] Coache
‘es, I KNOW Jesus Christ {s the
Master Coach of life, I we wiil
heed His direction we can alway;
win.
The personnel must be respona
sive to the coach, and &li myst be
willing to work togethe~, There is
no place for a prima dcnna on 4
football team. It’s a rough game
and one must be able to stand
some hard knocks. One of the men,
on the University team is a good
friend of mine. He told me the
other day that he likes to get in
there and mix it up. He plays the
game the way it shouid be playeq
and has the respect of his coaches.
I know Henry Love because he
comes to my church. He's learning
how {0 live and win 5 both fooi.
ball and life. He plays the game
for the team and to win, And he
plays a lot of guard cut there
Just watch him sometimes,
Life becomes joyous as we play
for the team of all mankind, under
the leadership of the Master
Coach, Jesus Christ. And if we
play the game the way He directs,
victory is assured,
men of Athens rallied around him,
A very unusual happening wag
that all the stores in Athens clos.
ed during the hours of the service;
and the majority of those who at
tended were men.
I remember the last sermon
preached that Sunday morning in
the First Methodist Church. The
church building was packed to the
doors- and the crowd overflowed
into Lumpkin street. The farewell
song was “Nearer My God To
Thee” and it was sung with great
fervor. I can never forget that song
and its effect on that congregation,
In fact, there is no greater reli
gious song than thai. In my golden
casket of memory there wasg en
shrined no more uplifting a mo
ment.
