American Leadership
“We as a nation must recognize
that we have been thrust into a
position of undisputed leadership
among free nations and that we
must behave and talk with the
ealmness and firmness of really
responsible leaders,
“To a bouyant, vigorous young
people, the sobering responsibility
of this leadership is something
new. We are accustomed to sound
ing off whenever we like, calling
names and generally having a
grand old time.
“Now, we have to realize and
recognize that the whole free
world, just recovering its confi
dence, 1s watching us for its cues.
“Eyverytime® some well-known
American talks blustering about
preventive war, or dropping the
atom bomb, a shudder runs
through the free world. Every
time we as a nation act in a way
that reflects firmness and intelli
gence and a sense of responsibili
ty, a new spirit of confidence runs
through the free world.”

the guest of the Atlanta Constitu

Strouse Speech
Newspapers, automobiles, and
advertising were cited as three of
the big things that have built and
sustained the American way of

Will Pry Deeper
Hunt said the watchdog group
also experts to pry deeper into
protests that French officials in
Morocco, site of the North African
bases, are insisting upon taxing U.
S. materials and equipment ship
ped in for the jobs.
Brig. Gen. J. C. Hardin of the
Army engineers, who are handling
the airbase construetion through
private contractors, said he had
protested to the French-appointed
Governor of Morocco against ef
forts to tax U. S. supplies and
equipment.
Hardin said the tax disputes
now are being negotiated in Paris,
presumably by State Department
spokesmen.
{ The Senate committee was told
that some $200,000 in French taxes
had been paid in North Africa for
the joint defense' jobs, chiefly on
gasoline and other equipment
needed in a hurry to avoid delays.
Hunt said the U. S. Joint Chiefs
of Staff put-an urgent tak on the
African bases shortly after the
Communist invasion in Korea in
June, 1950 apparently because
“the military leaders feared Rus
sia might jump into Europe, the
Middle East or Africa as the Com
munists did in Korea.”
stitute.
These three- human inventions
are not the exclusive prerogatives
of the American system, he said,
but man’s imagination and re
sourcefulness have turned them
into essential instruments of hu
man liberty.
Newspapers, automobiles, and
advertising make possible the two
absolute essentials of democracy:
leisure and communications.
Strouse pointed out that leisure
in America actually began when
Henry Ford visualized the auto
mobile as a means of transporta
tion for the masses and at the
same time developed the means
by which this could be made pos
sible—the assembly line.
Began High Wages
He went even further, and pi
oneered high wages for the work
er, so that he could afford to buy
the product of his labor, and
shorter hours so that he could use
the product, and thus created a
mass market,
“Out of the development of the
automobile in this country, came
three important contributions to
our democracy: mass transporta
tion, leisure and a high standard
of living.”
As for newspapers’ contribu
tions to democracy, Strouse said
that they have stripped knowledge
of its economic chains making it
available to the masses of people
so that they could think their way
to freedom, He added that ad
vertising, whose growth has paral
lelled the flowing of the industrial
age and theeenormous expansion
of the medium of the printed
world, is largely responsible for
the success of both.

Three-Year Old
Is Safe At Home
After Kidnaping
MONTREAL, Feb. 23 — (AP)—
Kidnaped Barbara Nemeroff was
found safe and sound today. A
masked, gloved abductor snatched
her from her home last night and
demanded $50,000 ransom, She was
found walking along a crowded
Montreal street this morning with
a man detectives hustled off to
headquarters.
Police did not immediately id
entify the man, but they said he
was in his early 20s and they be
lieved he had worked for the
three-year-old tot's father, Morris
Nemeroff, a well-to-do leather
manufacturer.
The abductor forced his way into
the Nemeroff apartment last night
while the parents were away and
ordered the 25-year-old-maid,
Alice Lachance, to dress the child.
As he left with Barbara, he handed
the hysterical maid a crudely
hand-printed note in French warn
ing against calling the police and
demanding $50,000 ranson money
be delivered today to the shoe
section of a Montreal department
store.
Unable to reach the parents, the
maid ignored the warning and
called police, who immediately set
off one of the biggest manhunts in
Montreal history.
Telephone Tip ;
Police said they had received a
telephone tin this morning from
a woman who saw the little girl
and the man and recognized them
by broadcast descriptions. They
were found in the bustling Satur
day morning shopping crowd on
one of Montreal’s main downtown
streets.
The girl and the man were taken
to detective headquarters and the
distraught parents summoned.
Stunned by the kidnaping, Nem
eroff said earlier he didn’t have
the $50.000, but he declared he
would do everything -he could to
cooperate with the abductor so
the little girl would be returned
safely.
Earlier today, police picked up
another former employe of Nem
eroff, but were doubtful he was
the man they wanted.
During the night police took the
maid to headquarters to look dver
photographs in the Rogues Gallery,
but she was of little help since
the man was masked.
Nemeroff was described by
police as “well-to-do” but not so
well off he would appear to be
able to raise the $50,000 demanded.
His shop is small and unpreten
tious. The store handles luggage,
Jadies’ handbags and similar art
icles.
At police headquarters, prepara-

YALE UNIVERSITY HAS 4
HOCKEY TRADITION :
NEW ‘HAVEN, Conn.—(AP)-~
When Larry Noble, 2l=year-old
Yale junior, scored four goals in
a 7-1 rout of Dartmouth it brought
to mind Larry's father. ’
His dad, aiso Larry, was a top
Yale athlete, winning letters for
baseball, football and hockey. The
elder Noble, now a faculty mem
ber at the Groton School, was
graduated from Yale in 1927 and
from Yale Law School in 1930.
During that period he was head
hockey coach at Yale and also a
member of the football coachli:gg
staff. Before teaching he practice
law for two years in New York
City. .
Young Noble first put on double
runner skates at four and at eight
played hockey with the kids on
Lake Romeyn in Groton, Mass. As
a senior at St. Paul’s School, jun
ior made the varsity hockey team.
He spent a year in Switzerland at
the University of Lausanne where
he studied French and philosophy.
Larry played freshman hockey
at Yale but was a spara as a soph
until the Northwestern game a
year ago when he first crashed the
starting lineup. He banged home
three goals and has beem the Elis
top scorer ever since.
Noble, however, is not the only.
familiar nanre in the ice sport at
Yale,
