Must Sell Freedom Appeal First,
Then Win War To End Communism
By GAYNOR MADDOX ,
NEA Staff Correspondent i
NEW YORK—(NEA)—General
Lucius D. Clay, hero of the Bers
lin blockade, does not believe
Russia can destroy ¢ economy
in a cold war.
“I have no sympathy with peo
ple who say Russia can wreck
our American economy through
a war of attrition,” he said in an
exclusive inferview.
“But ir the event of a shooting}
war,” ke warned, “the winning of
such @ war would not destroy
communism. Not unless we have
convin_ced the millions of people
now living under or believing in
communism that free government
is better.”
Clay, now retired from the Ar
my, is board chairman of Conti
nental Can Co. and chairman of
New York's State Civilian De
fense Commission.
The general explained, “Russia
has an economic potential of only
25 per cent of ours, or at least |
of ours and the free people allied
with us in the struggle against
communism. Certainly, with only
25 per cent as much economic
strength as ours she would de
stroy her own economy long be
fore ours in a cold war.”
To those groups advocating that
we drop a few A-bombs on Rus
sia at once, he commented, “There
is much irresponsible talk going
around now about dropping A
bombs and starting a so-called
war of prevention before Russia
has time to build up her strength.
There would be no difference be
tween such an attack on our part
and a straight-out aggressive war
such as we are stopping in Korea.
“I say this,” he added, “realiz
ing fully there can come a fre
mendous humber of provocations
and incidents which lead a nation
into war.”
Nevertheless, he cautioned pa
tience because of our great
strength., “The strength of free
people now united against aggres
sion in Korea is so very great that
we can outlast and triumph in a
cold war no matter how long it
lasts,” he explained in a voice so
quiet yet so confident that it was
easy to understand why he frus
trated Russian provocations in
Berlin, !
Then he added: “But if war |
does come, I have no doubts we'
can win that war.”

General Clay is national chair
man of the Crusade for Freedom,
a grass roots movement to carry
an understanding of democracy to
people behind the Iron Curtain.
“My real reason for giving as
much time as I can to the Cru
sade for Freedom comes from the
conviction that the real issue is
between democracy and commun
ism - not between the United
States and Russia,” he said.
Leaning slightly forward for
emphasis, he added: “Our duty is
to reach the hearts and minds of
men with the appeal of fréeedom—
making them see freedom such as
we cherish as the best heritage
for their children.”
He paused, then said: *“But
while we are doing that it is also
our duty to remain strong—al
ways to remain strong.”

have been consistent in their de
sire for freedom.
“That is not to say that their
meaning of freedom is the same
as ours,” he admitted. “But re
member they went through the
blockade and stood for democrat
ic processes. Therefore they offer
us encouragement that the mes-‘
sage of democracy, if carried be
hind the Iron Curtain, can influ-}
ence other people in other coun
tries.
“That is the faith behind our
Crusade. We are now carrying the
message to the Germans. They
have heard it and have rallied to
our side. Furthermore, the U. S.
High Commissioner and the Voice
of America are ip charge of that
territory.”
General Clay himself turned
the Freedom Bell over to Ernest
Reuter, mayor of Berlin, who has
put up a strong fight against com
munism.
“Placing this beli behind the
Iron Curtain in an oasis peopled
by Germans who for the last five
years have fought with us for
their freedom, has great signifi
cance,” he said.
He is convinced that so long as
the Freedom Bell rings behind the
Iron Curtain we can hope its peal
will be heard even further back.
“Bells are significant in Eu
rope,” he explained. “They guide
people’s lives pretty much and
every town and city boasts of its
bells. Therefore our bell is a sym
bol the Europeans can quickly un
derstand. The only way that bell
can be silenced is by the force of
Russia.”
x** % 4
The record of the last five years
gives us reasons to hope for a
democratic Germany, he believes.
“By keeping the bell there in
Berlin, we can hope other free
dom bells can be made to ring
further east as our Crusade for
Freedom becomes more effective,”
he said. ;
“It seems to me that the Soviet |
Government has attempted be
hind the Iron Curtain to develop
the belief that the United States
has ulterior purposes in Korea.
They have appealed to every ra
cial instinet, crying Asia for the
Asiatic.
“In that case, our placing the
Freedom Bell in a country where
we are in occupation is an ex~el
lent refutation,” General Clay
added. :

timely death occurred June 26,
1046, Lieutenant Dawson was an
active member of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, Disab'ed American
\{eterans, and the American Le
gion.

Ri. She was also affiliated with
other clubg there, the Outrigger
- Club, Eastern Star and others, as
' the Dawsons lived there 3 years,
Thence to Manila, Philippine Is
' lands, Guam, and on to the Far
East, a land so full of romance,
native churches and Christian Mis
sions. Returning to California sos
| two years, later to Alaska, Cana
da, Washington, Oregon then
‘ down the coast into Mexico. Cross
| ing the continent again this time
' bound for South Africa, they land
' ed at Cape Town, on to Dakar.
' Casablanka, Morocco Algiers
crossed from this point to Gibral
' tar. During their sojourn in Gi
' braltar the Dawsons had the un
iusual experience of visiting the
1 beautiful Alhambra Palace in
| Granada, Spain, which is of ex
- quisite Moorish architecture and
' Mosiac tile. It was here that King
Ferdinand and Queen Isabella
' gave Christopher Columbus their
' blessing on the advent of his sail
' ing which resulted in his discov
‘ ery of America.
! They sailed from Gibraltar, ar
. riving at South Hampton, England
' for a brief stay, then to Gravesend
' before going to London for "a
tlcngthy stay. While in England
they spent much time in Scotland,
Wales, Ireland and Mrs. Dawson
being interested in genealogy
i along with her other interests, she
- went to Corawell, England to see
the, church_there with the exqui
;site stained glass- windows given,
in.memory of her ancestors, the
three Callaway brothers who sail
ed for “the new world” (America)
in 1630.
| After the British Isles came the
Seandinavian Peninsula, they liv
‘ed in Copenhagen, Denmark,
Stockholm, Sweden, sailing from
Oslo, Norway via the canal route
to Kiel, Germany for a visit with
Admiral and Frau Karl Koenig.
Then to Berlin, Dresden, and Mu
nich. Duties then took them tu
Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Bel
gum and Turkey. From this land
of beautiful hand made rugs and
fine perfumes they went to Paris
for a visit with Gen, and Madame
Glerro. Leaving France via the
French Riviera, stopping briefly
at Cannes, Nice, Cay deAntibe and
Monte Carlo with it's famous gam~
bling Casino. On to Italy, first to

Naples, It was from this port they
sailed for Haifa, Alexandria and
the heautiful Nile Valley to the
Holy Land. On their return to the
United States from the Holy Land
they were in Cadiz, Madrid and
Barcelona, Spain.
Fortunate
Lieutenant and Mrs. Dawson
were very fortunate in having
friends in many of the foreign
lands, that and the fact that Lieu
tenant Dawson’s duties were pri
marily diplomatic missions, they
were privileged to meet so many
interesting people at various so
cial affairs. After so many years
of travel, they decided to return
to Athens to live, however, Mrs.
Dawson continued her club work,
and has served as a delegate to
Washington, D. C., from several
organizations, to one of which shz
was invited as a guest for mem
bership in Capitol Division of the
Farm & Garden Women’s Asso
ciation, there she again met more
delightful and interesting people,
one of whom was Lady Nancy
Astor (nee Nancy Langhorne) of
Virginia, who is a relative of Mrs.
Dawson through her mother who
was Margaret Callaway, a direct
decendant of the first (Sir Wili
jam) Callaway who came to
America in 1630 from England,
and founded Blue Springs, Vir
ginia. .
So with Mrs. Dawson’s wide and
varied club experience in so many
parts of the world the Ladies Aux
iliary to the Veterans of Foreign
Wars has indeed chosen a mosi
capable and efficient leader.

Doc’s Getfing Qut Of San Quentin
After 37 Years; He Enjoyed Say
BY AL OSTROW
NEA Special Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO— (NEA) —
“The doc” is getting ready to
leave San Quentin Prison, and
most of the 6000 inhabitants of the
walled city of numbered men will
be sorry to see him go.
The word passing along the
prison grapevine these days is:
“Better hurry up and get sick if
you're going to, because the chief
croaker won’'t be here much
longer.”
“Chief croaker” is the Big
Yard’s term of endearment far
“the doc”—Dr. Leo L. Stanley, the
prison’s white-haired veteran
chief medical officer.
Dr. Stanley has spent the past
37 years in San Quentin, with
time out only for World War II
service as a Navy commander and
some earlier vacation cruises to
the South Seas as a ship’s doctor.
When he hangs up his stethoscope
next March to retire at the age
of 65, Dr. Stanley will have served
more time in San Quentin than
all but a few of the oldest pris
oners. &
Kept Men Alive
As a matter of fact, Warden
Clinton T. Duffy credits the
twinkle-eyed physician with per
sonal responsibility for many a
lifer who has served extra years
only because Dr. Stanley’s medi
cal skill kept him alive.
Even when San Quentin was
torn by riots and rebellions and
prisoners complained bitterly
about their harsh treatment, no
convict’s voice was raised against
the “chief croaker.” Any popular
ity poll of the Big House cellmates
would show a close race between
Dr. Stanley and Warden Duffy,
who is generally credited with
banning brutality and carrying out
a humane penal philosophy.
Both men are convinced that
the average prisoner, as an indi
vidual, is no better and no worse
than anyone else. They're proud
of their graduates who have made
. Leonard Casper, infant son of
Mr. and Mrs. James T. Casper,
died at his home on Madison
avenue Saturday morning.
Funeral services will be con
ducted from Prospect Methodist
Church this afterncon at 2 o’clock.
Interment will be in Prospect
Cemetery. Bridges Funeral Home
in charge of all arrangements.
Survivors other than the pa
rents, include two sisters, Sybil
and Annie Maud Casper, both of
Athens; five brothers, Victor, Roy,
Robert, Gene and William Cas~
per, all of Athens; grandmother,
Mrs. Dellia Jackson, Athens; and
a half-brother, Clifton = Casper,

Preparatory Work
Begun For New
.
City Water Tank
Construction work taking place
near the intersection of Lumpkin
and Baxter streets is part of a
large project undertaken by the
City Public Works Department in
preparation for wusing the new
water tank being constructed on
Pulaski Heights. “
Several changes in water lines
have been necessary near the
business district and on the Uni
versity campus, according to J, G.
Beacham, city engineer.
The old tank on the City Hall
lawn is too small to meet present
needs so it is being destroyed
and a large, modern tank is being
constructed, which will provide
better service for local citizens.
The work on Lumpkin street and
vicinity s expectead to be com
pleted this week.
Court House

Gets Banisters
Banisters have been placed on
the front steps of the Clarke coun
ty court house here by the County
Commissioners for the safety of
the public. There are two sets of
banisters on the wide steps.
good on “the outside.”
War Service
Biggest thrill of Dr. Stanley’s
wartime service came aboard the
hospital ship Solace, laying off
shore as a floating surgery when
American troops stormed the
beaches at Saipan. A wounded
soldier who was being recom
mended for a medal for bravery
under - fire beckoned to the med
ico.
“‘Remember me, doc?” he asked.
“You saved my life back at old
San Quentin.”
Dr. Stanley came to the prison
hospital in 1913 fresh out of Stan
ford Medical School. He soon had
the experience of attending a con
demned man at his execution. He
saw California change from the
hangman’s noose to the lethal gas
chamber for its legal life-taking,
but the switch didn’t sell him on
the wisdom of capital punishment
except in rare cases.
One execution involved Dr.
Stanley in a series of lawsuits. The
prisoner, a notorious murderer,
volunteered his body for medical
research. But his relatives sued
the prison for SIOO,OOO damages,
contending that the body had been
unlawfully mutilated.
The confidence which Dr. Stan
ley inspired in his patients re
sulted in large numbers of San
Quentin convicts volunteering to
serve as “human guinea pigs” in
medical experiments. This work
resulted in new findings about
bubonic plague, dysentery, pyor
rhea, syphilis and other diseases.
The prison hospital, largely de
veloped under his administration,
is adorned with more paintings
and murals than are found in
many art museums. The paintings
were the work of talented patients
who had no other way to show
their appreciation.
Possibly the secret of Dr. Stan
ley’s success is that he likes his
work. “I am,” he admits, “one
of the few men who enjoys-being
in prison. I’'m not sure what I'll
do when I get out.”

Bedding Needed
For Local
.
Colored Family
Local ‘Red Cross workers have
been busy this week collecting
household goods and clothing for a
colored woman and her family
who had their Barber street home
badly damaged by fire last week.
Nearly everything inside the
house was burned, so the Red
Cross began collecting goods need
ed for the mother and three small
children. There still is a need for
two double bed nrattresses and
bed coverings—comforts, blankets,
sheets, and pillows. !
