This is analyzed here as the latest left wing tactic to create more confusion south of the border. Its ainr is to upset the more-established, middle-of-the-road, democratic governments by a new kind of “united front.” In Mexico, Vicente Lombardo Toledano, the lead~ ing Latin-American labor agitator, has announced his support of General Mauel Henriquez Guzman in the July presidential elections. Up to now, Gen eral Henriquez Guzman has been considered the censervative opponent to President Miguel Aleman’s Revolutionary party government, In Cuba, the Communists announced their sup port for Dr. Roberto Agramonte, presidential can didate of the Orthodox or conservative party be=- fore Fulgencio Batista’s coup upset the June elec tion apple-cart. And in the far-off Argentine, President and Dictator Colonel Juan Peron is reported to be in cahoots with the Comnrunist leader, Rodolfo Tui= Eros. This newly-reported Peronista-Communista co operation is now cited as the best proof possible that U. S. policy towards the Argentine in the last sow years has been a complete flop. This policy was based on friendliness towards the Argentine, and giving it all possible aid instead of blasting it. This new policy Included a $125 million credit to Argentine banks. Its purpose was to relieve the Ar=- gentine dollar shortage and enable the Argentinos to pay for goods ordered from American manufac turers in the post-war boom. PZRON INFERRED U. 8. IS ARGENTINE’'S WORST ENEMY In return for this help, Colonel Peron has re sorted to a deliberate policy of opposition to the United States. The turning point was Peron’s—and Evita's—decision te run for re-election for the Ar gentine presidency. In his campaign, Peron infer red that the United States was the Argentine’s worst enemy. Last fall Peron attempted to organize a new Latin-American international labor organization, It was to be a rival to the Inter-Amrerican Regional Organization of Workers. This JAROW organiza tion was founded at Mexico City last year with the backing of the AFL and CIO of the U, S. It was to be a branch of the anti-Communist International Confederation of Free Trade Unions—lCFTU. President Peron was moved to launch his own Latin-American organization after IAROW had refused te admit his Argentine Labor Confedera tion to membership at Mexico City. Peron called his founding convention at Asuncion, Paraguay, last November. Few delegates showed up and it was a complete bust from the start. Since then, Argentine government labor attaches at its various embassies in Latin-America are re ported to have made outright efforts to buy support and infiltrate local unions. Latest proof of this has been furnished by the U. 8. Panama Canal Company at Balboa, C., Z. This government operating company had to fire a chauf feur named Juan Urriola, for membership in the Peron Labor Confederation. The company had no opposition to his joining this organization, but other employes refused to work with him, . “DOLLAR DAYS” MAY BE OVER FOR PERON All these developments point to the possibility of a new U. S. policy towards the Argentine, There may be no return to the policy of open denuncia tion of Peron. But it is predicted he will not be given further aid or support. It is the general inability of the Comnrunists, as well as the Peronistas, to take over the labor move ment in Latin-America that led to Commie-conserv=- ative cooperation. It is really not a new Commie policy. It is the old trick of the united front. Having failed to make common cause with labor, however, the Commies seek alliances with opposition parties. This is exemplified further in the efforts of French Communists to support General Charles de Gaulle's opposition to the middle of the road, dem=~ ocratic parties. Anything to create confusion and upset existing government. Then take over in the chaos. In Latin-America, the exception to this is of course Guatemala, where the chaos is created in the usual way. There some 500 Communists control all the labor unions. They also run the government. This is in spite of the fact that the Communist party is supposed to be outlawed in Guatenrala. The way it has worked out, since January, is that anti-Communist demonstrations are banned. It is the Yalu River that has forced . . . an air war that is predominantly tactical. Less than 3 per cent of the entire Far East Air Forces’ effort (was) required tg paralyze North Korean industry by neu tralizing 18 strategic targets, — Major General Roger Ramey, U. S. A. F. X Kefauver's New Hampshire | Victory Tempered By lil- K Advised Comment The results of the New Hampshire primary elec tions have somewhat upset the political applecart—-‘ certainly so far as the Democrats are concerned-—-‘ for comparatively few observers were prepared for the smashing defeat that Senator Kefauver admin-~ | istered to President Truman. This eventuality was d()lxply surprising when it is considered that Tru-| man had the backing or the party machinery in the state. j The result, as we see it, was purely negative in nature. The New Hampshirites did not necessarilyi care so much for Kefauver, but they cared immeas urably less for Truman, and the primary afforded them an opportunity to register their disapproval of the latter, Even so, the results could have been used to great advantage by Kefauver's strategists, had it not been for the asinine commment that he made regard ing his sweeping victory. He is quoted as saying that his victory over Truman did not constitute a rebuke to the President, since he and Truman have similar views on governmental policy. That is a false conclusion on the face of it, for if that state ment were true, wouldn’t the voters have naturally voted for Truman, who is titular head of the party, instead of one who is comparatively new on the national scene? The only explanation for such a statement on Kefauver’s part that we can think of is that, hav ing demonstrated his strength in New Hampshire, he is holding out the olive branch to Truman, hop ing to induce the President to back him in the con vention as a candidate whose views coincide with his own, and who has demonstrated that he has a strong followng, at least where the choice is nar rowed down to two candidates. However, we feel that any advantage that Ke fauver gained by his sweeping victory has been greatly diminished by his statement which will react unfavorably on him in forthcoming primar~ ies. He will be pitted against Senator Russell in the Florida primary where the issue will be clearcut as between Trumanism and anti-Trumanism, and we predict that the Georgian will win a landslide vic tory. As to the Republican primary in New Hamp shire, the result was of real significance. It must have come as a severe jolt to Taft backers for him to be swanmmped by an opponent who is making no effort to win the nomination. Georgia Power Company’s Faith The Georgia Power Company has given concrete evidence of its faith in the future of this section in announcing that it will go ahead with its proposed $46,000,000 expanson program, despite the recent unfavorable action of the Georgia Public Service Commission in declining a rate increase for the company which it has depended upon to partially finance the program, _ The company contended before the commission that present rates do not justify the new cash outlay of $46,000,000, coming on the heels of a $45,000,000 expenditure for new facilities since 1949. Despite the commission’s denial of increased rates, the power comrpany is proceeding; meantime, it has re quested a rehearing of the case. We certainly are in no position to state whether a rate increase at this time is warranted or not; nor, is the average layman, Yet, it is true that with the unprecedented industrial development of the southeast, terrific demands are being made on the utilities to supply the necessary services to keep step with the industrial expansion. Whether utilities like the Georgia Power Com-= pany can finance the necessary expansions out of current earnings is 8 matter that merits the closest consideration of the Public Service Commission, and it is quite likely that a re-hearing will be granted n order to go more thoroughly into the matter. Meantime, the power comrpany’s courage in going ahead with its plans is but another evidence of its faith in the future of this section, and its de termination to meet the ncreasing demand for its services, ’ We mrust never forget that the only war we seek is the war against poverty, disease, hunger and illiteracy.

How is it working out in actual practice? The Washington Post surveyed the situation in each of 86 non defense agencies and found that few utilize their new authority. It found that those which have used it “do not know how many documents have been buried from public scrutiny by the inmrposition of classified labels.” Truman's order, issued Septem ber 21, 1951, touched off anew the perennial press campaign for freedom of inforxxﬁon. at ‘means mx:rmation the peo not just freedom for the press. ~ The Post found that “many agencies exhibit a sharp aware ness of the public's right to infor mation.” Unnecessary Secrecy But others, including some that hardly would be considered cen ters of secret activity, were re luctant even to tell how they ap plied the new directive. You might think that the post office doesn’t have any news ex cept for annual stories on the vol ume of Christnras mail. But the newspaper said the post office “flatly refused to disclose any thing about the application of the order.” Officials of some departments or agencies said the directive lib= eralized the release of news be cause it gave a clearer idea than heretofore of what should not be kept secret, This was the view taken by President Truman, “It is my hope,” he said, “that the practical effect of these regu lations will be to make more, rather than less, information avail able to the people.” The President defined the order as intended to protect information from ‘ potential enemies.” But the American Society of Newspaper Editors, headed by Al exander F. Jones, executive editor of the Herald-Journal and Herald- American of Syracuse, N. Y., pro tested that the net effect would be to suppress news to which the Amrerican public was entitled. Two days after the President issued his directive, reporters learned that the office of Price Stabilization, in an action un related to the President’s order, had instructed its staff to withhold any information that “might cause embarrassment to the OPS.” The President himself demanded that the OPS withdraw that one. The editors, in a letter to Joseph Short, the President’s press secret ary, said they understood that gen uine security information should be withheld. " Question Guarantee But they asked what guarantee there was that those carrying out ' the order would confine it to that. They declared: “We strongly oppose an execu tive order which formally design ates each head of a government agency an authority to classify information as injurious to na tional security without definition of what breaches national security, and without appeal or review.” The Associated Press managing . Editors Association, meeting in | San Francisco last Sept. 29, de | seribed the directive as a “danger | ous instrument of news suppres ! sion” and called on Truman to ~ For Promptness, E?.fi“cyi’&cﬁyv&’fCourresy ® WRECKER SERVICE ALWAYS CALL SILVEY MOTOR COMPANY Phone 246 Dav R Phone 3532 Nisht rescind it. Truman defended his order at a news conference on Oct. 4. He said a Yale University survey, made for the central intelligence agency, in dicated that 95 per cent of the government’s secrets had been dis closed by “newspapers and slick magazines” That was what he wanted to stop, he said. Emotional Outbursts Secretary of Commerce Sawyer in a Philadelphia speech Oct. 9 attributed some protests to “emo tional outbrusts about censorship.” He said too much military infor mation was getting out. Sigma Deita Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, said the order “duplicates in the name of national security the practices of totalitarian states which, as among their first steps, seized control of the channels of communication and information to the people which they later enslaved.” Short retorted that this was a “detestable slander” and that “eyen a cub reporter would know better.” L Short said last month the White House had received only two com plaints of withheld news and that both involved suppression cases that occurred before the order was issued. EX-CAPTIVES GOT MEAGER FARE HANOI, Indo-China — (AP) — It's a pretty tough life being a prisioner of the Communist-led Vietminh in Indo-China. That's the word brought back here by 103 war captives recently released by the Vietminh forces. They said they were not mis treated by the Vietminh. They suf fered prineipally because of the lack of food, clothing and medicin es and the cold, rainy weather. The former captives reported they ate little except rice.

During the operation, ships of a Navy Task Force were subject to “enemy” attacks by submarines, land based aircraft, and surface craft. Latest techmiques in war fare were used in the exercises, which were designed to increase combat readiness and to famili arize personnel with operations under frigid conditions.

Frank Crawley, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Elberton. The speaker was introduced by Edsel Benson, president-elect of the club. Rev. Crawley began with the statement that we Americans take more aspirin and sleeping pills than any other nation in the world. He called attention to the enormous speed of Hving we have created and how everyone seems always on the run, Five major qualities were cited as greatly needed in this day and time. These were listed as: being a friend, having character, having a clear conscience, a peace of soul, and a sense of God. Two roaming Rotarians were in attendance: E. H. Holleman of Dublin, Ga., and Simon Smith of Elberton. Oscar Mcßae had his son Ray with him, Wilkie Burt had Col. L. C. Dugger, and Earl McCutcheon had Robert King of Columbus, Ohio. Examination For - Campers Required By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. Written for NEA Service It is not too early for parents who are considering sending their children to summer camps to com=- plete their arrangements. These camps for boys and girls are now a part of the American scene which thousands of lucky young sters enjoy each year. Most camps require that the youngsters have a physical ex amination before going. This is to reveal any physical defect which might interfere with full activity so that proper measures can be taken to avoid undesirable risk. The presence of heart disease, a severe allergy or diabetes, for example, should be known before the youngsters gets into trouble from any activity normally con ducted in a summer camp. The ecamp will also give pa rents instructions as to what clothes should be taken, the num ber of blankets, and similar in formation which is always needed before a camping experience can be comfortable and happy. Most camps require one or more successful smallpox vaccinations. Some ask for typhoid inoculations, although the danger from this dis ease has greatly decreased. Others require inoculations against teta nus or lockjaw. The regulations for camps vary, and some other inoculations such as those against diphtheria may or may not be re quired. The youngsters going to a eamp should be prepared to abide by the rules. For example, if the camp is located in an area where there are rattlesnakes, high boots may have to be worn and it could be dangerous to break this regu- No F Aspirin Than— St. Joseph ASPIRIN WORLD’S LARGEST SELLER AT 10¢ FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1852 lation, Abide By Camp Rules In most places tW\lnmin’ i important part of camp lfe the rules of safety should | strictly followed.
