THE MEANING OF MEDALS
A Navy combat flier from Senator
McCarthy’s state has mailed the lat¬
and ter his Distinguished Flying Cross
Air Medals (the same decora¬
tions accepted by the senator recent¬
ly in an office ceremony), saying he
has no further use for them. A pro¬
test in such form is, to be sure, at¬
tention-getting. But it cannot but
strike at every other holder of simi¬
lar honors as well as at the object
of the protest. For it does not pro¬
tect the decorations. By its own terms
it would only cheapen them.
What are the facts about this
much-talked-of incident ? Beginning
in 1944 the Navy and Marine Corps
awarded an Air Medal for every five
combat missions flown, a Distin¬
guished Then Flying Cross for every 20.
then Captain McCarthv flew
several missions in the South Pa¬
cific—not as a matter of regular
duty but as a volunteer passenger.
This much seems settled.
But from here on the facts are in
controversy. McCarthy A Navy spokesman says
Senator applied for the
medals. The latter says he did not.
Taking the Wisconsin senator’s own
figures, he flew 17 combat missions.
This would entitle him to no Dis¬
tinguished Flying Cross and but
three Air Medals instead of five. Of
the 17, the Marine Corps, reportedly,
was willing formerly to certify less
than 10.
Wherein lies the discrepancy ? The
Navy and Marine Corps have not ex¬
plained. They should. And the expla
nat ionshould be convincing. Other¬
wise the affair leaves them—and Sen¬
ator McCarthy, too—open to ugly in¬
ferences that a little stretching of
the term “combat mission” on the
one hand might encourage a little
senatorial support on the other.
But there is more that has made
this an unfortunate affair. The Dis¬
tinguished here, Flying Cross, which, as
was awarded simply for some
number of missions, no matter how
routine, was also bestowed for heroic
and extraordinary accomplishments.
Thus the process had already begun
of Happily, “cheapening” the decorations.
this regulation has been
changed since Korea. But the Navy
and Marines, who have long talked
disdainfully of Army awards for
“just keeping your teeth clean,” may
still have to eat a little crow.—Edi¬
torial in Christian Science Monitor.
PRE-BUYING SURVEY OF LAND
MAY SAVE YOU SOME GRIEF
By Atlanta Bar Association and
Lawyers Club of Atlanta
When you buy real property, it’s
poor economy of the to “get by” without a
getting survey everything lot—you may not be
scribes. your deed de¬
In Georgia, the description of the
property must yield to natural and
ancient landmarks in cases of dis¬
puted boundaries. For example, if
your deed calls for a frontage of 100
feet between two particular trees and
the actual distance between the trees
is only 90 feet, you own only 90 feet.
An accurate survey of the land be¬
fore the purchase will reveal the dis¬
crepancy and save you later grief.—

KEEPING OCCUPIED
Thank God every morning when
you get up that you have something
to do that day which must be done,
whether you like it or not. Being
forced to work, and forced to do your

FOUNDED 1857
COUNTY SEAT. CIEVELAND
Real gold provided wealth for White County from its dis¬
covery in 1828 up until 1940 when commercial mining
* ceased. Today’s new "gold” is the exploitation of beauti¬
ful mountain scenery, a natural setting for motion pic¬
tures. "I’d Climb the Highest Mountain,” was made here
in 1950, and future films are under consideration. Topping
the list of industries is a new zipper plant at Cleveland,
a sport socks factory at Helen and another important
source of income—lumber and sawmills.
In this and other Georgia counties, the United States
Brewers Foundation works constantly to maintain whole¬
some conditions where beer and ale are sold. Close at¬
tention is given areas near camps of the Armed Forces, and
both military officials and Georgia law enforcement officers
have commended the Foundation’s self-regulation pro¬

BATHING SUIT OF PAPER
IDEA FAI L S APART_
MIAMI, Fla.—(AP)—They tried
out a paper bathing suit here.
It didn’t work.
It was made out o fpaper napkins
and constructed in the two-piece Bi¬
kini style. The napkins bore messages
in large red type recommending
h lorida as a vacation plavground,
which was the point of the whole
thing. A press agent insisted with a
straight face that the suit would
stand up in the water.
It didn’t. Neither did the good
looking model who was wearing it.
Obviously nervous, Hilda Estevez
entered the water only after a group
of bright-eyed photographers insist¬
ed. She entered it slowly and care¬
fully. Then a look of genuine surprise
came over her face.
“It’s falling apart,” she said some¬
what unnecessarily.
Press agent Boh Lyon came to her
rescue and threw her a terry cloth
robe. :
A BILLION BILLS
To The Christian Science Monitor:
Your May 10, Associated Press box
story that a billion $1 bills could
circle the earth five times is, accord¬
ing to my calculations, a mite
strong.
No one would belittle a billion. But
a billion bills cannot accomplish what
the story claimed.
Correct me if I’m wrong, please.
A bill 's 6.18 inches long.
A billion of them would stretch
6,180,000,000 inches.
That distance, divided by 63,360
(inches per mile), shows a billion
bills cover 07,537 miles.
At the equator, the earth is 24,
902 miles in circumference.
Divided into the 97,537 miles of
bills, we find the $1 bills would make
only 3.9 circumnavigations.
Maybe the engineer went around
the globe nearer the North Pole.
—W. S. Warren.
(Editor’s note—Maybe he did.
Thomas Michels of Franklin Park,
Illinois, also calculates that the bil¬
lion #1 bills would go around the
earth at the equator “a little less
than four times.” He adds that if one
wishes to girdle the earth five times
with 96,913 miles (the figure given
by the Norfolk, Va., engineer in the
story) he may do so on a latitude
circle at about 40 degrees latitude
(a little north of Norfolk) where the
distance “around” the globe is about
19,400 miles.) — Christian Science
