prised that he started to walk out one of the big French windows in the Executive Office
 'I guess you're a little flus-
 tered" laughed Truman, the
 doors over there.-'
 Only 46 years old, Clark had been planning to step out of the Justice Department for more than a year and go back to Dallas, his home town, to practice law. His elder brother was killed in an air. plane crash and the family want ed Tom to come home to carry on the family law firm.
 But, through some whim of fate, he stayed on in the Justice De- partment. However he was planning to retire this summer, had even picked new law asso- ciate to handle branch office in Washington, when suddenly he got the surprise call from the White House.
 LONG LINE OF LAWYERS
 Of the four Cabinet appoint ments Truman has made, public attention unquestionably has fo- cused more on this than any ether. The new Attorney Gen. eral happens to come from a long line of lawyers beginning with his great grandfather, William H. Clark, solicitor of the British gov ernment of Ireland, who came to this country in 1737 The next William H. Clark was Chancery Judge in Jackson, Miss, and a Confederate general, killed in the battle of Altoona, Ga His son, another William H. Clark, was treasurer of Mississippi for forty years. =
 On Clark's mothers side, an- other of his ancestors, Dr. Hiram McDowell, the, famous Kentucky surgeon, is honored by statue in Congress Hall of Fame; while an uncle, Judge T. s. Maxey, was U. s. District Judge of Texas; and another uncle, Jim Clark, was Proctor of the University of Texas. For him, Clark Field in Austin is named.
 Despite this impressive line
 of ancestors, Tom himself is
 an easy going, unpretentious person whom, when you first meet him, you wouldn't suspect of being one of the most inn portant members of the Truman Cabinet. He talks as if he had all the time in the world and as if nothing worried him at all other than getting home to go sledding with his two children Where you will always find him on snowy Sundays.
 Unlike most Cabinet members, traditionally addicted to spa cious homes or swank apart ments, Clark lives in small house in a suburban development where his wife, Mary, daughter of a former Texas Supreme Court Judge Civilian F. Ramsay, does most of her own housework and seems to thrive on it. She met Tom, by the way, when she lived dlt ue Fl FIJI IlOuSe aL leHdS University and he lived in the adjacent Delta Tau house.
 Tom drives down to the Justice Department in an old 1888 ja- lopy, picking up car-poolers on the way. He doesn't entertain much his house is too small and the servant problem too difficult. But he has been active in professional social circles and helped organize the Federal Bar Association, from whose presidency he just retired after shocking some of his Texas colleagues by demanding that Ne gro attorneys be admitted to mem bership.
 POLITICIANS LICK CHOPS
 Unquestionably, Clark's appoint ment is the most important shift in the Truman Cabinet. The at torney general of any Administra- tion can make or break it-as Harry Dougherty once demon strated. Antitrust cases, affect ing the dividends of great cor

NO OTHER SOUND (Harold Vnal in The Christian Science Monitor)

rold Vinal in The Christian Science Monito No other sound against the ear O be it bird or be it bough Can be as faultless and as clear As this sweet cadence hear now. Within the parlor of the shell, It breaks anew to sudden foam, And strikes as softly as a bell. One hears again the tide turned home, Lifting its running breakers or Those quieter waters of the tide Which, lifted by the drifting oar, Kelp-strewn and sleeping must abide Like song forever in the breast No other sound can be as sweet, To one who loves the ocean best And wants it, laughing at his feet.

Il Cause Of War,
DR.. Mead Declares
By Catherine X. HambIev

If Americans learn international
good manners and change their at
titude toward foreign relations, this
era may prove to be "one of the most
exciting" generations instead of re-
sulting in another dark age" DR..
Margaret Mead, associate curator of
ethnology, American Museum of
Natural History, declared yesterday.
Addressing the annual breakfast of
the District Federation of Women's
Clubs at the Mayfower, the author
OF the best-seller, Keep Your Pow
der Dry" pointed out how centuries
ago Chinese rudeness lay the ground
work for the present conflict in the
Pacific. Then was when they first
called their japanese neighbors "yel-
low monkeys" AS a result, "Japs
dug in their heels, set out to prove
they were somebodies in spite of the
fact others thought them nothing"
! Now on leave of absence from the
museum as executive secretary of
the Committee on Food Habits, Ma
tional Research Council, DR.. Mead
also expressed the belief that the
Germans went to war because they
imagined their race was not consid-
cred as important as they felt it
should be.
Americans must learn to talk about
other people with respect and under
standing, in turn making themselves
understood by others, the speaker
declared. In describing evils of mis-
understanding, the wife of the Eng
lish anthropologist cited Anglo
American attitudes. Americans
view compromises as Glow" They
feel "the wool has been pulled over
their eyes" when they grant con-
cessions. On the other hand, Brit
ain considers compromise as good. !"
international awkwardness arises,
when one side feels he has lost
while the other argues that a prac-
tical solution to problem has
been found.
This Nation, the expert on South
Seas culture asserted, must also
look at the overall picture in in
ternational affairs with an aim "to
developing society which will con-
tribute to rather than threaten the
peace" In discussing the latter,
DR.. Mead said that one particularly
bad habit of the Yanks is compar-
ing conditions in America with
those in other countries. Instead,
they should realize that conditions

For three years now Mrs.
Charles Russell has been in charge
Of the appointment ofice at the
Red Cross Blood Donor Center
here. 1t is she who makes the
appointments for the individual
and group donors every day,
Monday through Friday from 9
am. to Sis pm. and Saturdays
from 9 am. to Ills. She loves
making the appointments the
more the better-loves seeing the
donors come in to keep them, but
what she hates to see is a broken
appointment.
ITS this way" Mrs. Russell
told us. so many donors are
scheduled for each hour that the
center is open. When donors
fail to show up at the last
moment that means that they
cannot be replaced and that time
and the services of all the CEN
ter's personnel is lost" So, as
much as your blood is needed,
don't, whatever you do, make an
appointment to donate it unless
you're going to be there!
The giving of blood is a simple
and short procedure. Your blood
pressure, hemogloben and medi-
cal history is carefully checked at
the center before you are allowed
to donate blood. ALI blood be-
comes the property of the Army
and Navy and is used only for the
armed services. The Red Cross
acts as recruiting agency for
the donors. Now that the war is
over in Europe blood shipments
are concentrated to the Pacific
area. You have only to read your
daily newspaper with its list of
casualties to know how urgent Is
the need for blood for our men
who are fighting so valiantly for
speedy victory. II you could
see the fighting men themselves
who come to donate blood-be-
cause they know first hand how
important it is in saving lives
you wouldn't waste a moment
getting down to the center, we'll
bet.
Mrs. Russell was telling about
young serviceman who tele-
phoned from Union Station the
other day. He wanted to know If
he could donate his blood between
trains. He was on his way to a
camp in the South and expected
to be shipped out pretty soon, so
he wanted to have a little blood
on hand just in case he needed
1t a little later on, was his ex-
PLANTATION.
A young mother phoned to say
she'd like to come in to give her
blood and was heart-broken when
she was told she'd have to wait
until the baby was nine months
old BUT he's only five weeks
now" she pleaded. -.
Washington is one Of the II
blood donor centers remaining
open to supply blood to our men
who are fighting the Japs. Don't
let these men down. Call District
5000 and make your appointment
today and KEEP it!

Charlie Ross
Tells Reporters
|Ho1V to Report
By Gretchen Smith

Qualities contributing to the sue
cess of newspaper reporter in
Washington were enumerated by
Charlie" Ross, veteran newswriter
land secretary to President Truman
in an informal talk before the
Women's National Press Club yes
|terday.
The tall, quiet-voiced Missourian
|schoolmate and lifelong friend OF
the President, expressed his ideas on
what makes good reporter, basing
his opinion on many years of ex-
perience as Washington correspond
|ent for the st. Louis Post Dispatch
Speaking before a hundred OF
more members and guests at clut
luncheon at the Statler Hotel, Mr.
Ross said that good reporters should
write stories that are brief, exact
and, what to them, is the obvious
in the subjects they are covering
Don't try to write a story that
Is subtle or profound" he advised
What may be obvious to you may
not be obvious to some one else, SO
write exactly what you see and
hear"
The speaker declared there are
three essentials to remaining a sue
cessful reporter in Washington: In
terest, industry and integrity.
Regarding the last quality he
added, Il don't think there is any
professional group in the country
with a higher standard of integrity
than Washington newspaper men
and women"
Considerable laughter followed
Mr.. Ross statement that "he never
knew he had so many friends" as
when he arrived in San Francisco to
cover the conference for his paper
following announcement that he
was to be appointed secretary to
President Truman.
"They gave me two telephones
in my room, thinking to do me a
favor" he laughed, "but those tele-
phones rang from 8 am. and didn't
stop until IL o'clock the day I ar
rived in San Francisco. I found
1 had friends I had never dreamed
OF until those phones began ringing. /"
Several anecdotes regarding his
boyhood associations with President
Truman were recalled by Mr.. Ross
in answer to question following
his address.
L was good in English" he COM
mented, land the President was
and still is, good in history"
The old schoolhouse in which he
and the President were members of
class of 80 or 40, burned. down
several years ago. the speaker said
and new building has replaced it
Mr.. Ross inferred there would be
little or no suppression of important
news by President Truman who, he
declared. believes the public should
