When completely out Of con-
troll its fury makes men blind
with rage" When left TO the
unguided caprice of feeling it
comes out IN bursts Of bad tenn
per- Feasibility and contentious
ness. When it settles down into
cold, calculating vindictlveness,
it can make the desire for re-
venge LIES major obSeSsion.
When deeply aroused in child
hood pugnacity can become the
determining factor in character,
inhibiting normal emotions, af-
fecting social relationships, and
colorlng LIES entire philosophy.
OF course furious rage, bad
temper, calculating vindictive-
ness, and chronic hate are
wrong but more than that, they
are morbid.
When Edward Everett Hale in
his later years said, Il once had
an enemy, a determined enemy,
and | have been trying all day
TO remember his name, he gave
evidence not only Of rightmind-
ednesS but Of healthy-minded-
ness. SO, too, Lincoln, rebuked
for an expression Of Nlagnanlm-
ity toward the South during the
Civil War, and told bitterly that
he should desire rather to de-
stroy his enemies, was not only
morally but emotlonally sound
when he answered, What, ma
dam? Do | not destroy them
when l make them my friends?
The tragedy of rage, i'll tenn
per, vengefulneSs, and hatred is
that they are the misuse of an
emotional drive whose right use
is necessary ingredient Of
strong character. Pugnaclty
can be channeled in personally
satisfying and socially useful
courses. A boy with no fight
in him is a weakling The high
tempered personalities are the
most promising. Pugnaclty is
latent power. Anyone who has
seen gang of youths, the ter
ror of an urban community, TAX
en- into a boys club, translated
into an athletic team and set TO
defeating opponents in some
competitive sport, cannot doubt
the possibility of sublimating the
fighting spirit.
One of the best tenor voices
Of our generation is that OF
Richard Crooks. When he was a
young child money was lacking
for music lessons and he grew
up without them. Even SO his
unframed voice was beautiful.
The next we see of young
Crooks he is working in an ice
plant, getting up al 3 o'clock in
the morning TO tug ice cakes
about, beginning a long, hard
battle for money enough TO
study music Then New York
church engaged him as soloist,
the New York Symphony Or
cheStra discovered him. and in
time the young iceman became
Richard Crooks the tenor.
In all such life stories the
fighting spirit is involved. No
pugnacity means no first-rate
achievement. No combativeness
means no pioneering of unex-
plored continents, no de-termin.

Brooks Rubber Fears
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An assertion by Senator Brooks
Republican. Of Illinois that "global
do-gooders" were all for scrapping
synthetic rubber plants built during
the war brought a retort from Ma
jority Leader Barkley yesterday that
he did not favor such a course "by
any stretch Of the Imagination"
Nor, Senator Barklev added, do
I know of any responsible officer OF
the United States who favors the
scrapping of the synthetic rubber
industry"
Senator Brooks attributed the
pressure to advocates of an inter-
national WPA to be financed by
Uncle Sam" and declared their
theory was "epitomized by Vice
President Wallace, a recent White
House guest, when he advocated a
quart of milk a day for all the un-
derprivileged races in the world"
Senator Barkley replied:
Il think it ought to be stated that
the mere fact that Vice President
Wallace on one occasion in a speech
expressed the hope that some time
the world economic situation might
be so developed as to guarantee to
every child in the world bottle of
milk. would have nothing to do with
the synthetic rubber situation"

have some vague connection with

that the children might consume
