T. W. Reed, Edifor, Historian
And University Friend
(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the concluding in
stallment of an address by Harry Hodgson, sr.,
at memorial services for T. W. Reed, held last
Sunday at First Methodist Church.)
Not one of us, I believe, has ever encountered .a
rian with an equal memory., He seemed to know
#nd remember the names of every student and as
they returned year after year to class reunions they
v ore amazed that Tom could always remember
{ »ir pames and habitations and frequently the
1 aes of their {athers or grandfathers.
"“om had three great loves in his life, or perhaps
1 ould say enthusiasms—the University of Geor
¢ , the History of the Confederacy, and this Henry
C. Tuck Sunday School class, to whom he lectured
i.r twelye years on every Sabbath day. Few men
¢ or loved the University of Georgia more than he.
His office adjoined that of David C. Barrow, one of
the greatest men that Georgia ever produced, At 5
o'clock each afternoon when the day’s labors closed,
Tom and Chancellor Barrow sat together for about
an hour discussing the affairs of the University
and the affairs of State, They called this union of
the two men the Twilight Club and through the
¢aily meetings of the Twilight Club Tom acquired
ruch of the wisdom.of one of the greatest Chan
collors in the history of the University and he
t onsmitted these gems of thought to the Henry
"4 k class each Sunday, He wrote and published
t - biography of the Chancellor, entitled the “Life
© David Crenshaw Barrow.”
Jecause he was so outstanding a teacher, many
rmembers of the other churches joined the Tuck
class, for they felt they could hear richer teaching
from the scholarly Tom Reed. The Tuck class
scems to belong as much to all other denominations
as it does to the Methodist church for it is Catholic
in spirit and wide in its sympathies. Other churches,
including the Jewish Synagogue, have had members
in the class for many years. 5
Tom was proud of what the University did for
himr and proud of what he did for the University.'
In June, 1897, 53 years ago, he made a motion at a
reeting of the Alumni Society, of which at the
time Dy, David C. Barrow was secrl:ary, asking
tlat the president name a committee to secure such
endowment gifts as might be offered by friends of
tae University. He requested that he not be named
on that committee as his college duties were so ab
sorbing, but he was always proud that he instigated
the committee, of which Honorable Brantley A.
Denmark of Savannah was chairman. The commit
tee was successful in raising $60,000.00 and with
that amount the basement story of beautiful Memo=
rial Hall on the campus was constructed. The work
then stopped because the money ran out. &
In 1921, 24 years after the first alumni fund was
started, the University Alumni created a new fund
as a memorial to 48 University men who died in
World War I. This fund received subscriptions to
taling $1,222,000.00 and with that money a great
new development commenced on the University
campus, Tom also started another fund for the Uni
versity of Georgia known as the Alumni Library
Endowment Fund—he was chairman of that com
mittee and they raised and now have investment
bonds totaling $8,500.00 for library uses only. When
the nmillion dollar fund was Taised the members of
the library fund ceased their efforts to raise money
for it because of the greater effort to raise a mil
lion dollars, In recent years another fund has been
established by the alumni called the University of
Georgia Foundation, These are four great efforts by
the alumni of the University to do something for it
out of the private pockets of its alumni and the first
of these funds was instigated by Thomas W. Reed,
Tom has written the most complete history of the
University ever written by any man and it has been
officially accepted by the Alumni Society of the
University. This history is so complete that it will
probably require four volumes to publish it all,
Thus far, funds have not been available to publish
this history but no one doubts that the nranuscript
will be sacredly held in *trust until it can be put
into type and published. The history department of
ihe University, headed by that famous Southern
! storian, E. Merton Coulter, will eventually edit
1 ls manuscript and get. it into the hands of the
citizens of Georgia. It will add to the great fame of
our teacher when the citizens of our state can read
it.
To indicate how greatly Tom was appreciated on
the campus, I will name a few of the exceptional
honors that have been given him. On March 17,
1914, he was elected to membership in the Georgia
Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Kappa society, a Nat
ional Society for scholarship whose key is prized by
the honor graduates of all American universities,
He was one of the founders in 1924 of the Honor
Society of Phi Beta Kappa and was president of
that organization for many years. The Sphinx club,
which is prized by the students as the outstempding

w Mr. Baker's Appeal To ; !
* End Factionalism
Mr, C. O. Baker’s speech here in behalf of his
candidacy the other night, a large part of which we
published yesterday, was directed largely to those
who are tired of “bossism” in Georgia politics. He
also made an earnest appeal to Clarke countians to
help a home-town candidate promote his candidacy
by writing their friends elsewhere in the State.
Mr, Baker, the first candidate to espouse a sales
tax, pointed this out in his speech wherein he out
lined his program for education, old age pensions,
roads and taxation, He asserted that he is not the
candidate of either the Talmadge or Thompson
groups and that if he is elected he will be a free
agent,
The candidate scouted the “propaganda’” against
him which he says his opponents are sponsoring and
declared that they admit he iscapable but are trying
to prevent those who want to vote for hinr from
voting for himr by saying “he hasn’t got a chance,
Mr. Baker said that if those who want “Fat”
Baker will turn a deaf ear to the “hasn’t-got-a~
chance” propaganda and really put on the steam he
will be elected by a big majority,
Mr, Baker’s appeal to the voters to elect him and
thereby put an end to factionalism may be having
more effect than the political experts seem to think,
Independent voters may take the view that a vote
for Mr. Baker will serve as an expression of senti
ment against what they consider “bossism” and thus
serve a good purpose, even if their candidate does
not win,
Pooling West Europe’s Power
May Solve Defense Problem
The 12 Atlantic Pact countries stand at a cross
roads. At their London conference the big question
confronting each nation was: “How can we get an
adequate defense without going bankrupt?”
Western European leaders *are convinced that
drastically lowered living standards for their peo
ples would be the inevitable outcome if each coun
try goes on glanning for its own balanced force of
army, air force and naval units. ‘
Some believe that even as allies they lack the
economic strength needed for the sort of defensive
effort their military men consider basic to security.
The European chiefs no longer see any point in
discussing whether security or economic recovery
should have priority. They think the two somehow
must be achieved together, But ow?
The plan now turning over in some leaders’
minds is to create a giant pool of military and eco~
nomic resources among all the pact countries, They
think the defense job might be accomplished if each
country were assigned just a part of it, with all the
parts fitted into an overall pattern.
Thus, France might be asked to supply land
forces, the Low Countries some specialized combat
units, Britain the tactical air arm, the United States
the strategic air force and possibly the nrain naval
strength. There might be a similar division of effort
in the output of munitions and other equipment.
This is a revolutionary idea for Europe to study
seriously. It involves a loss of individual national
sovereignty, heretofore clung to so jealously by all.
More than that, it would demand a remarkable dis
play of mutual confidence among the pact nations.
Nevertheless, that’s the line European officials
have been thinking along. It's a measure of the
gravity of their dilemma.
The full pooling of Atlantic powers was not ac
complished at London, But a start was made in the
setting up of a permanent committee to co-ordinate
military and economic matters among the pact
countries. Europeans know the situation is urgent.
They can’t lean indefinitely on the United States as
their sole support in this predicament,
.
France Shows Her Generosity
For decades France's greatest fear has been the
industrial and military might of Germany, Not
without good reason, for twice in a generation the
Germans overran ¥rench soil.
It is extremely noteworthy, therefore, that France
is now coming to the fore repeatedly with proposals
that involve drawing Germany into a broad Euro
pean or international orbit.
The newest of these is the suggestion that west=
ern Europe's coal and steel resources be lumped in
a single pool to help reserve peace in that area.
France would include the Saar and Ruhr regions of
West Germany in that pool.
Earlier the French proposed bringing the western
Germans into the Council of Europe, and more re
cently they conceived the plan for an Atlantic
council that could bring Germany and all European
neutrals together with leading western powers for
co-operative action.
These are bold efforts by France to achieve the
much-desired unity of Europe. They're being made
by the country that has most to fear from a Ger
many allowed to regain even a fair measure of its
former economic and political strength.
All of us praise bureaucrats who are near us,
while seeing evil in distant bureaucracies. I fear it
is the same in America; they will easily see distant |
bureaucrats, but not those close at hand. — Italian
Premier Alcide de Gasperi.
The sharpest threats to the freedoms which we
enjoy here in America have comre, up to now, not
from eutside sources, but from within.—Vice-Pres

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORCIA
One Of World's Most Durable
Punching Bags Is U. S. Hushand
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK—(AP)—One of the
world’s most durable punching
bags is the American husband.
He is particularly the target of
imported intellectuals, and prac=
tically any visiting foreigner can
make a fast buck here by getting
up on a lecture platform and say
ing a few unkind words about the
typical American husband.
It’s been that way for 100 years.
And gradually a stock figure has
emerged -—— a wonderful cartoon
that represents the average Euro
pean lecturer’s idea of the average
American married man.
This mythical fellow is a paun
chy, walrus-necked tycoon who
spends his mornings in an air
cooled office scanning the stock
market ticker and roaring at un
derlings. Afternoon finds him
belting a golf ball around a remod-~
erked cow pasture. And at night he
comes reluctantly home . to his
wife, a henna-haired vixen in an
ermine wrap who dishes him up
a cold meal out of cans and wears
his ears raw with her strident
wail: “You gotta earn more sugar
far mama, big boy—l dropped gn
other hundred at bridge today.”
- He's an ulcer-riddled, money
grubbing success in business, this
American husband—but a bum bet
in the boudoir. “He mak the mon
nee, yes, but at I'amour he ees no
gogg. In love he ees a schoolboy,
no?
No, he isn’t. This whole picture
of the American husband is an
outward phantasy, an illusion
dreamed up by foreigners as a re
sult, perhaps, of seeing too many
25-year-old Hollywood movies —
and taking them seriously,
It might be a good idea for the
State Department to hire a few
really American families and send
them on tour to other countries,
just to bring them up-to-date on
what kind of people live here. It
would be the best kind of propa
ganda. Too many common folk
abroad still believe Americans car
ry gold around in buckets and
sleep on bedsheets woven from
SIOO bills.
Matrimonial Buy
And, of course, the truth about
the American husband today is
that he is the world’s best matri
monial buy. He doesn’t have the
idea that marriage is just some
thing for women and children, He
works at it. And it's a pretty
healthy life. Some time ago the
Metropolitan Life Insurance com=
pany figured out there were some

35,500,000 husbands in the United
States, so they’re hardly dying out.
They're good providers, too,
Most of them bring their pay
checks home in their mouths. Or
at least the lady of the house and
the kids get a fair share of the
take, not just whatever crumbs are
léft over, Mama isn’t a vassal —
she’s a partner,
Foreign men often jeer at Amer
ican husbands as being hen-peck
ed prisoners of their womenfolk.
But this is like one jailbird scream
ing “convict” at the fellow in the
next cell. v
Hen-pecked husbands aren’t na
tive to the North American cli
mate: They are found in equal
quantities, so far as I can tell, in
every country in the world. A
domineering wife doesn’t require
an equal rights statute to have her
way.
One of the proofs of the intelli
gence of the American husband is
that he doesn’t try to continue the
impossible task of keeping his wife
subservient to him. In this re
spect many husbands abroad are
still sticking their heads, ostrich«
like, in the sands of a dead past.

work too recently for us not to
