In A Big Way On Foreign Policy
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
CHICAGO.— (NEA) —ls, as claimed by Senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio, the principal difference be=-
tween hinr and General Dwight D. Eisenhower are
Jittle matters of emphasis on points of foreign
policy, then it becomes nétessary to understand
what those little differences are.
The record c¢f Senator Taft happens to be much
elearer than the record of General Eisenhower.
Becnator Taft has written a book. Also, his voting
gecord In the Senate is clear proof of his ideas,
Take this voting record first, over the last four
years.,
In 1949 he voted against the North Atlantic Se
eurity pact. He voted against the foreign military
aid bill. He voted to cut Marghall Plan funds by 10
percent and foreign military aid by 50 percent.
Next year he voted against the $45 million start
for the Point Four Program of aid for under-de
veloped countries. He voted against naming Gen
eral George Marshall as Secretary of Defense. He
voted against $2.7 million mcre for the Marshall
Plan, but he voted in favor of the first SIOO nrillion
for Spanish Dictator Franco.
In 1951 Senator Taft voted against universal mil=
ftary training. He voted against sending troops to
Europe without congressional authorization. He
voted to cut the Marshall Plan funds by SSOO mil
lion and he voted to cut defense appropriations by
$5.5 billion.
So far this year on key foreign bills he has voted
for ratification of the Japanese peace treaty, He
voted for continuing the amendment limiting im
portation of foreign cheese. And he voted for re
study of further foreign aid.
TKE WOULD VOTE WITH TAFT ON TREATY
General Eisenhower has had no chance to vote on
these key issues. But an examination of his state«
ments reveals that he would probably vote with
Senator Taft on only one—ratification of the Jap
@nese peace treaty,
Going back even further in the Taft voting rec
ord we can note other little differences with the
stand that would probably be taken by General
Eisenhower, as Supreme Commander in Europe.
Senator Taft voted against arming American
vessels prior to World War 11. He voted against
Selective Service, and against its extension on the
eve of Pearl Harbor. He voted against revising the
U. S. Neutrality Act in 1941, and he voted against
“] 2 Hull reciprocal trade agreements.
On this last point, General pisenhower has come
out strongly for the promotion of international
trade, since his return from Europe.
Senator Taft denies the charge frequently thrown
at him, that he is an “isolationist.” In New York
last February he said: “We can't get out of Europe
or Korea at the moment. And certainly we have
the threat of meeting Soviet communisnr at any
point we can successfully do so.”
On the charge of pre-World War II isolationism,
Senator Taft declares that he took the same position
as President Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie did—
for aid to Europe short of war and against sending
American boys abroad.
Senator Taft's point is that after the 1940 election
he maintained exactly the same position as before,
while Roosevelt and Willkie changed and took the
U. S. into the war.
SENATOR TAFT CONTRADICTS HIMSELF
Senator Taft’s book, “A Foreign Policy for Am=
ericans,” contains a number of apparent contradic
tions, previously pointed out. In one place he men=
tions that Russia can deliver atomic bonrbs on the
United States. Then he doubts whether Russia can
deliver them.
Senatog,Taft’s feud with the Joint Chiefs of Staft
on military strategy has bean chewed over so much
that it is a familiar cud to every mouth. The sena=
tor favors more air and sea power and less army.
General Eisenhower opposes this completely, in
saying no one has shown him how to get along
without the foot soldier.
General Eisenhower’s foreign policy speech at
Denver, in fact, tends to show that his differences
with Taft are anything but small. On the main
objective of peace, they are in agreement, as is
everyone, It is on the means of obtaining peace
that they differ.
General Eisenhower is for full support to the UN.
He believes in “collective security,” meaning
alliances with foreign governments as opposed to
merely making America strong at home. Eisenhower
favors foreign aid as a good investment, to give
America the most security for the fewest dollars;
The general is for full support to the North At
lantic Treaty Organization, Europe is where the
senator would cut down,
Eisenhower sees no more hope for solution in
Korea than Taft. But the general would keep Chi
nese Nationalist troops on Formosa. The senator
has said he would turn them loose to attack Red
China. He puts far more emphasis on Pacific affairs,
while General Eisenhower would put the nlin
effort on the Atlantic,

Telethon Proves Dramatically
Self-Help Is Far From Dead
To listen to a lot of people you'd think the federal
government was just about the only place to turn
for money, no matter what the need. They ought to
watch the operations of a growing American insti
tution known as the “Telethon.” :
The Telethon is a marathon program on televis
ion, usually conducted by one or two entertain
ment stars who lead a vast parade of professional
talent before the cameras over a 12 or 15-hour
span. :
The cause has usually been some fund-raising
project for research or treatment in the field of a
stubborn malady like cerebral palsy, nmruscular dys
trophy, or heart disease. But the most recent one
was dedicated to getting money to send the Ameri
can Olympic team to Helsinki this summer.
Witnessing a performance like this, you can
hardly believe that the old American spirit of self
help is dead. For the Olympic Telethon the goal
was $555,000.
Perhaps it would have been easier to ask Con
gress for the funds but ther2 is a tradition against
that. So Olympic officials apnealed to the people of
the United States.
With Bing Crosby and Bob Hope leading the way,
stars of stage, screen and TV, athletes and assorted
other public figures nrade a 15-hour procession
across Hollywood and New York TV stages. There
were dozens of volunteer telephone workers, audi
tors, checkers, and other technical helpers.
Altogether nearly 1,200 people pitched in for the
Olympic cause, donating their full services in an
all-night ordeal.
When it was all over at mid-afternoon on a Sun
day, the Telethon scoreboard showed that more
than $1,000,000 had been raised from individuals,
companies, institutions and the like. The contribu
tions ranged from driblete of s§l and $5 to big
chunks of SIO,OOO.
Quite an accomplishment for a half day of effort,
however intensive that effort may have been. Quite
a tribute, too, to the generous-hearted impulses of
the American people who gave their dollars to send
our team abroad.
To be sure, many gave money with the assurance
that their names or those of their business enter
prises would be mentioned over a coast-to-coast
network. But still, they gave.
Of course it never has been true that the urge to
mutual self-help was hopelessly enfeebled in Am
erica, Private money-raising for charitable and
other worthy causes has zoomed to record heights
in recent years. Yet this fact has been overshad
owed by the colossal outlays of federal money for
many purposes.
Some of these federal outlays are inescapable,
and perhaps more will be. But there is no solid
wisdom in the view that Washington is the fount of
all monies for worthy purposes. We can still achieve
many of our goals without resort to the federal
treasury. It has always been so.
The new institution, the Telethon, just happens
to be a dramatic demonstration of the fact.
No Anwer In Korea!
England’s minister of defense, Earl Alexander, on
his return from a tour of the Korean front, pays
the United States a pretty compliment by saying
thig country is running a good show over there, but
does not offer the slightest idea of just how long
the good show will have to be continued, or what
the final curtain will disclose, He says the Com=
munists will continue to suffer huge losses if they
stage another attack, but adds the United Nations
forces will never be able to advance to the Yalu
river without equally great casualties.
The time for & military victory which would
have ended the Korean affair passed more than a
year ago, when the United Nations let down in the
hope of a cease-fire agreement, Thre is no doubt
that the Communists have taken advantage of this
period of inactivity to build up their strength., As
a result, a stalemate has occurred and neither side
has the strength to attain a victory. In the mean
time American forces continue to suffer casualties.
"It may be American fighting men are putting on
a good show in Korea. The Korean situation has
become unfathomable. The United Nations have
been denied a decisive victory, yet we must fight
on and on to an end which cannot now be fore
seen. What was presumed to have been a 30-day
police action has developed into a military problemr
for which there is no answer.
Enigmatic Kremlin
Highly secret machinations of the Kremlin forces
international observers to regard the recent shift
of Soviet ambassadors as uninterpretable,
Russia recalled ambassadors to the United States,
PBritain, China and East Germany and replaced
them with new Red faces. That ineffable “no” man,
Andrei Gromyko, goes to Britain,
Some diplomats think the changes were routine,
but others are convinced they indicate a major
change in Soviet policy. One view is that Russia is
on the verge of another “peace offensive,” with
Gromyko concentrating on Britain.
Britain’s neutralist sentiment already has a pow
erful spokesman in Aneuria Bevan, the left-wing
Laborite. It is speculated that Gromyko may offer
something tempting to Britain in the hope of em
barrassing the Churchiil government and, in a new
election, installing the Bevanites, who are more
{riendly to Russia.
None of the speculation casts Russia in a differ
ent role than that she has filled in the past. Russia,
it is unanimously agreed, will continue a policy of
infiltration and trouble-making. If any one has dif
ferent expectations of Russia, he should have his
head examined for holes.

The Story Of David And Bobo Proves
Refreshing In Face Of Juvenile Crime
In a day when accounts of juv
enile crimes run rampant through
the wire copy that comes to an
editor’s desk, it is mere than re
freshing to dwell upon the mem
ory of two children who were
about a€ completely normal and
delightful as children can be in
this complicated age.
We would have you know David
and Bobo—a pair of pixies we met
during a summer in New York
state. David and Bobo, both of
whom were beautifully healthy
and cherubice five-year-olds, were
residents of an upper New York
village and wusually spent their
summers atop Cragsioore Moun
tain.
Bobo, who claimed David as her
own special boy friend, regardless
of what David had to say about
the matter, was a robust little gal.
She clambered around the moun
tain on a pair of sturdy, well
shaped little legs. Her electric
blonde tresses were quite, quite,
straight and were shaped into a
Dutch - boy coiffeur — bangs and
all. Now Bobo was something of a
kingpin among the younger set
since she could out-swin, out-run,
out-shout and out-fight most any
of the toddle crew, including the
male contingent, The fact that she
staked out her claim on young
David was necessarily indisputable
among the youngsters. The stal
wart male in question was fairly
reticent about the whole thing,
except on those occasicns when
Bobo decided to treat him to a
chocolate soda, an act made easier
for her by the fact that her mother
operated the concession stand at
the swimming pool. Only on these
occasions would David concede,
“Oh, ok, T guess you can be my
girl-friend.”
David? His very apperance was
enough to twist your heart strings.
A very handsome representative of
the “little people” he was. The
first time we saw him, he was
dressed in an old pair of corduroy
trousers tucked down inside a pair
of knee length, laced boots. On his
sandy hair perched a bifled cap.
Around his neck was wrapped a
faded red kerchief. His baby
face and clear brown eyes
seemed in such touching contrast
with his “old gold-prospector’s
outfit that we felt a flood of im
mediate affection for the young
fellow. i
Enterprising Youngster
A most enterprising youngster,
he immediately set about esta
blishing an “odds and ends” job
for himself around the village—
with pay of course. If he could
find no more tasks with which to
busy himself in local shops, he
would often join us at our office
in the local theatre where he
acted as something of a ‘straw
bors” of the ticket sales. We were

B & 0 Bossy Mother-In-Law Should Be
g Dismissed With Defermination
Here's a wife with a real prob
lem. Five years ago she married a
young man from a different part
of the country and went to live in
his home town.
He works in his father’s business
and father and son get along fine.
But the husband’s mother as
sumed from the beginning that
she had the right to run her
daughter-in-law’s life.
Says the daughter-in-law: ‘She
criticizes my clothes and makes
such remarks as: ‘I wish you
would take me along next time
you go to buy a dress.’
“She wants to know how much
everything costs and seems to feel
that because my husband is work
ing for his father we shouldn’t
make any financial decisions with
out talking the matter over with
them.
“Her invitations are command
performances. She’ll call me up to
say she is giving a party and adds
that, of course, she is expecting
us to be there, And convenient or
not, we go.
“She doesn't even hesitate to
tell me what couples she thinks
we ought to see more of, and
which ones she can't understand
what we see in.
delighted when we found that
David seemed to return the ef
fection we felt for him.
One day, however, the young
Casanova found himself caught
between his two “lady loves”, Dur=
ing the afternoon, the petite Miss
Bobo had treated David to a soda.
Immediately the teen-agers, who
knew of David’s “triangle”, set
up a teasing barrage, which Bobo
witnessed with no small amount
of distress. Finally, his tormentors
forced David to admit to the
charms of Bobo and wrested from
him a statement that— “yeah,
I guess she’s my girl.” Fully paci
fied, Bobo left for her afternoon
plunge in the swimming ‘pool.
David, however, sat morosely on
the edge of the pool, a worried
frown playing over his cherubie
countenance.
Having been informed of the af
ternoon’s proceedings, we waited
in our box office for David to
make ldfls usual afternoon ap
pearance. Finally, he bolstered his
courage and wandered sheepisly,
hands plunged deep down in his
pockets to the cubby-hole that
served as a box office. His heck
lers, who had awaited his ap
pearance too, began a chant of
“David’s Bobo’s boy friend”.
When they finally abandoned
their tormentinsfisession. David re
mained with us~in the box office.
He inquired somewhat hesitantly
as to the hour of our departure,
Having received the information,
he informed us, “Well, I thought
I'd kinda wait around and walk
you home.” Flattered, but realiz
ing that our departure would be
fairly late in the evening, we in
sisted that he’d best go home for
his evening meal. Stoutly, David
denied that he was hungry and
insisted that he would escort us
to our quarters. -
“A Woman Scorned”
Not until we assured him that
we were in no way hurt or angry
with him for his “betrayal”, would
he consent to leave. Unfortunately,
however, before he could com
plete his farewell gesture, which
called for a peck on the chsek,
there appeared at the doorway a
storm cloud in the form of Bobo.
We could hardly suppress a
hearty laugh when we saw the
young Miss standing there, hands
on hips, eyes blazing. She demand
ed smartly, “David, what are you
doing?” A red-faced David at
tempted futilely to make amends.
But Bobo, feeling hsreslf in the
position of a “two- timed female”
flounced off, vowing never to buy
him another soda — “ever, ever
again.” \
To make a very long story some
what shorter, David and Bobo did
manage to patch things up during
the summer. Only this time, at
our suggestion, David bought Bobo
the soda.
they finish “Beautiful, But Dan
gerous,” but crew members still
remember how Bob and Susan
Hayward tangled during produc=

this:
“Maybe Susan didn't like me,
but I liked her.”
Too Heavy For Ladd
There are heavy acting scripts
from tales by Theodore Dreiser,
F. Scott Fitzgerald and Henry
James being offered to Alan Ladd,
but he’s turning them down with
a “No, thanks.”
It seems that the boys who
guessed that Alan was out to prove
he was in the Lawrence Olivier
class when he left Paramount
were wrong.
Mr. Box Office isn’t giving up
the Ladd style. ;
“I don’t want to convince any
body that I'm the world’s greatest :
actor,” Alan shrugged on “The
Iron Mistress” set. “It's too late
for that, anyhow. I ieft Para--
mount because I wanted important
stories. I just want to entertain
people.”
He goes to London for “Red
Beret” when he completes “Desert
Legion” for U-1, then returns to
Hollywood for two more films at
Paramount, five for Warners and
one additional U-I flicker.
“Maybe all this doesn't sound
too important. But I feel like I'm
being smothered.”
And you are. But you can prob
ably straighten things out with
determination and tact.
You'll need the determination to
stand up for your own ideas and
opinions and to put a stop to being
pushed around.
You'll need tact to get across the
idea that you are perfectly cap
able of managing your own life
without creating any unpleasant
scenes,
Next time a “command per
formance” interferes with plans
you have already made, say so, in
stead of changing your plans.
When you are asked how much
something cost and resent the
question, look your mother-in-law
straight in the eye and say: “That’s
not the important thing. The im
portant thing is that it is exactly
what we want.”
As for your friends, you don’t
need to try to defend them. Just
dismiss any criticism of them with,
“Bill and'l like them.”
Keep your temper, but let it be
known that you intend to man
age your own life.

"Irrepressible Urges” Prove Inferesting Topic .
But Might Pose Dangerous Prablem | Yielded To
Like the lady who called on
her psychiatrist with the complaint
that her friends thought her crazy,
we often wonder about ourselves.
‘When questioned about why peo
ple thought her mad, the lady
revealed that “it’s all because I
like flapjacks”.
Thinking her reply odd, the
doctor rejoined that he, too, was
fond of flapjacks. “Goody”, the
lady chortled with glee, “Come
over and see mine sometime. I've
got trunks full of them”.
While ours is not an addiction
for collecting food which we are
still sane enough to consider best
with maple syrup and bacon, we
sometimes worry about the fact
that there are certain things which
we would like to do, but which
are frowned upon in “poper soc
iety”. A lesser example of this
fault is that we often ache to at
tend social functions in full dress-=
with "the exception of shoes.
Some fuddy-duddies feel this to
be in extremely bad taste. How
ever, we are willing to wager that
a close investigation would prove
that the self-same fuddy-duddies
have urges of their own which
would be just as unaceeptable if
revealed.
All of us are victims of irrepres
sible urges. The strange part of the
case is that most of us do manage
to repress the urges and are there
fore considered more normal than
we deserve to be. Contrary to po
pular opinion, it is not madness to
admit the presence of such desires
—or even to yield to them.
If you like to surprise people,
here is a scheme which has been
‘,,_m.,..,:" e
&8 Mother Who Absorbs Sorrow Of
WN Friends Can't Make Happy Home
BY MURIEL LAWRENCE
Young Mrs. Wilson has a friend
named Ruth.
Ruth lives a most sensational
life. The people she knows are
always entering hospitals. Their
husbands are always coming honre
with news that they want divor
ces or that they’'ve been fired from
their jobs. If there's a virus about,
it can never resist them. They
have a fatal attraction for traffic
accidents and as to the funeral
card industry, it couldn’t get along
without them.
After a visit from Ruth, young
Mrs. Wilson sits staring into
space. When she is aroused by the
roars with which her baby son an
nounces displeasure in his wet
diaper, she attends to him, obliv
ious of the bubbles he is grate
fully blowing at her. With her
strong, healthy boy on her lap, in
the sunny room purchased by
young Mr. Wilson’s love and re
sponsibility, young Mrs. Wilson
thinks, “Oh, dear, we’re here one
day and gone the next. What sor
rows there are in the world! How
cruel life is!”
Young Mrs. Wilson should take
immediate and firm steps to get
rid of her iriend Ruth. She is not
a professional social worker, train
ed in techniques for protecting
herself against the contagion of
misery. Her work is wifehood and
motherhood. It is the support of
joy. .
It takes quite a little while to
discover that there are people in
the world who collect misfortune
instinctively. It takes us even
longer to learn that we have a
stern moral obligation to protect
our homes against such people, as
we protect them against thieves
who steal money.
We do not learn overnight that
joy is our most precious posses
sion and that those who make a
habit of borrowing our joy with
out returning it are wasteful and
irresponsible people. We do not
learn this because we regard ma
rattling around our head for some
days. We may unreservedly guara
tee that the execution of our plan
would surprise almost everyone
(including ourselves), but will not
guarantee that the perpetrator
of the stunt will not be confined to
a rest institution.
The stunt that we have in mind
is one of these that might easily be
termed an “irrepressible desire”.
We want to do it, but fear the
consequences. Thus far, we have
succeeded in repressing the desire.
Qur hopes are that some well
known. psychologist will read this
column and advise us to “go
ahead”.
Before giving the nature of our
capricious little plan, let us hasten
to assure the reader that it is
nothing elaborate. The only praps
which we would need for its ex
ecution would be an elephant, a
sedan chair, a few oriental rugs,
and four big, strong men (at least
six and a half feet tall).
Impractical—not at all—just a
simple little joke. It has caused us
some little unhappinesg that we've
never been able to create any kind
of sensation in our own hometown
—with the exception of several
times when dire calamities befell
us. We want to be the center of
attraction just once when we are
in full command of our faculties
and capable of enjoying having
an audience. 2
The day that we made a mad
dash acrosg a tiled store front and
fgll ingloriously on our face, we
id receive some attention. The
proprietor of the store was solici
tous and quite worried about our
terial things as our most precious
possessions and consequently take
great care of them. Then we grow
up and begin to take steps to
guard and protect joy.
Young Mrs. Wilson will not find
it easy to tell Ruth that she has
no more friendship to give her.
That is because she believes that
it is kind and loving to sympathize
with misery.
The reaiization that love for
humanity does not require us to
sympathize with misery and sup=
port it by giving it hearing is im
portant to us as the parents of
children whe need joy to grow. So
important that I am not going to
quote from psychiatry for author
ity. I am geing to quote from one
whose understanding of love we
trust supremely. I am going to re
mind us of Jesus’ parable of the
Foolish Virgins.
Time was when I found those
foolish young women who refused
to gather their own oil of under
standing and joy most appealing,
I thought of them as vague but
delightful girl¢interested in things
of the imagination instead of dull
practical ones. I don’t any more.
Now I know that they were
moral dead beats, and that their
wise sisters who had prepared
themselves to enter the kingdom
of peace were right to rebuke
them. They were right to mince
no words and shoot straight from
the shoulder,
They were right to say to the
emotional parasites who wanted to
borrow thcir oit of 'understanding
and joy, “No, lest there be ngt
enough for us and for you, But g 0
rather to them that sell and buy
for yourselves.”
When misfortune comes to us
directly in personal emergency, we
share our oil gladly. But when it
is borrowed day after day until
we have none left for our own
lamps, we are foolish, not loving
at all. We are giving support to
the neglect and the darkness of
others.

It would be important that no
body know the identity of the oc
cupant of the chair. We imagine
that the majority of the towns
folk would be convinced that we
were a visiting oriental potentate
(maybe Aga Kahn) by the time
we reached our destination.
That destination would be the
Varsity and the time would be
the rush hour. We would make
the carriers circle the block until
a parking place was free and then
would extend one hand from the
confines of our vehicle to drop
a bejewelled purse to the head
carrier from which he would ex
tract a nickle for the parking met
er.
Our emergence from the sedan
chair would comprise the real
climax of the outing. Our attire
would be extremely oriental—blue
jeans, an army fatigue coat, a
baseball cap, and tennis shoes—
worn neatly, of course.
Dismissing the carriers with a
curt wave, we would stroll non
chalantly into the Varsity and
order an “all-the way dog and a
white shake.”
That is as far as we have plan
ned the excursion and the
thought of never having the op
portunity to carry out a portio#
of the plans leaves us in an ex
tremely depressed mood. Maybe
what we need is a sponsor who
is interested in publicity for some
charity drive. .
All interested persons are 1‘
vited to contact us at their earlie
convenience.
Oh, yes, for dessert we’d have an
ice cream cone.
We are convinced that if we are
indeed mad, we're not alone in the
plight. It is fact that everyone has
some strange urge which he feels
would make him completely and
unreservedly happy if he were able
to execute it. :
Perhaps you have had a similar
plot to stir up exceitment or to
fullfill some fantastic scheme. If
so, come clean and let us all en
joy it. ‘
It will not be necessary for
the reader to sign his name to his
“irrepressible urge” and the story
of your whimsy and caprices will
be printed if mailed to the Banné®
Herald.
Let us hear from you—unies
you really plan to carry out the
scheme and then we’'d rather not
be accomplices.

It must be nice to be able 0
vote yourself a lot of new in
come tax deductible expenses, a<
the congressmen in Washington
did. If the idea spreads, the
first thing you know they’ll be
talking about increasing taxes
to the rest of us so more of the
government boys can be on @
