READY FOR THE SHOWDOWN

The wheels of Congress are rolling
again. Apparently President Truman and
Congress will not agree on any program
to pull Europe out of it's hole. Senator
Taft and other strong men in Congress
disagree with Mr. Truman.
: large number of Senators and Rep
resentatives have toured Europe during
the last few months and unless all indica-
tons prove false the Republican majority
in the Senate and House will rise up to
oppose unlimited European aid as it has
been outlined by the President.
The personal views of Senators and
Representatives - especially in the Re-
publican party-have already been made
known. They are preparing to cut down
costs by one-half.
So, there you are-and the chances are
that the overflow of money and goods
from the United States Government will
eventually be put on basis of continued
relief-from time to time-as long as it
is needed by our European chums.

CENSORSHIP DANGEROUS

Early in the year radio ccmmenta-
tor assailed a book being used in some of
the schools, of the nation because it includ-
ed chapter on Henry A. Wallace.
Thereafter, some citizens of Rocherter,
N. Y, influenced by the radio denuncia-
ton, insisted that the book be banned and
withdrawn from classes in biography.
The school superintendent complied
with the request but asked the members
of his board of trustees to read the book
and make a decision. This they declined
to do but the superintendent put the book
back into circulation.
We have not read the book but the
idea that American youngsters must only
read what arouses no discussion is moth
ing less than absurd. To handpick volumes
which contain nothing but the platitudin-
Gus nonsense that pleases everybody and
evokes no intellectual reaction is to stifle
true education.
The incident tends to verify suspicious
that censorship, one of the first weapons
of fascisnl, as we'll as communism, is liable
to encroach upon the rights of Americans
to read, think and say what they like. It
is dangerous state of mind, now largely
based upon the communistic-phobia, to
believe that censorship is the way to dis
cover the truth.

though their conversation had
never been interrupted. He qres-
toned her about her ambitions
in the TN organization and re-
peated his promise to advance
her as rapidly as possible.
When Jean came to work that
night, Dawson looked at her sour

"Oh, see," Jean said with
elaborate sweetness. 81 thought
you were getting most of yours
from him; they read like it."
Dawson snarled a reply, but
Jean ignored it. Taking no further
notice of him, she started. writing
the nights stories and presently
forgot that he was there. She con-
tinued writing, with few inter-

after o'clock, when Ross Mercer,
the news supervisor, stopped at
her desk.
"The late editions OF the tab
loids have a story about a shake
up in the police department an
nounced from City Hall a few

GEN. PATTON ON BRAVE MEN

General George S. Patton, Jr, was a
picturesque. military leader and his record
in the recent war is being suryeXed anew,
as a result of the posthumous publication
of his book, "War AS Knew It.
The General made fair contribution
in securing the victory that permits Amer
leans to sit around and criticize those who
fought the battles. The campaign of his
Third Army across France was unexceled
and so was it's performance in the Battle
of the Bulge.
Somewhat surprising is the entry from
General Patton's diary, written on January
4th, 1945, during the Battle of the Bulge,
when he said: eve can still lose this war. "
Not so surprising is his repeated insistence
that he could have ended the war in the
late summer of 1914 if he had been given
sufficient gasoline and ammunition and
permission to strike ahead.
Most military experts, however, do not
agree with this conclusion. They point out
that the Third Army, if it had gone far
afield, would have been subjected to flank
attacks, might have been cut off and even
tually destroyed. This debate can keep up
indefinitely but the Generals performance
entities him to hearing. #4# -
On the subject of bravery, the General
admits that if it means one who knows not
fear, II have never seen brave man." He
adds, "The more intelligent they are, the
more they are frightened. The courageous
man is the man who forces himself. in
spite of his fear, to carry on

HOLIDAYS DANGER TIME
FOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS

Holidays are hazard-days, Super
visor Charles L. Sheridan of the

motorists and pedestrians today.
Safety workers and law enforce
ment officers throughout the state
are cooperating in an effort to curb
the number of traffic deaths this
holiday season." the official de-
clared.
December daytime is shortened
three hours from summer daytime,
it was pointed out Most of this
extra darkness comes when motor
and pedestrian traffic is heavier.
Because visibility is at its low
est in December, it is imperative
that drivers maintain windshield
wipers, and defrosters in good work.
order to clear away frost, sleet,
snow and rain" Supervisor Sheri-
dan advised.
Because traction often is poor,
it is important to keep brakes
equalized, to reduce speeds, and to
use anti-skid chains for snow and
ice" he added.
Emphasis was given to the fact
this is a month of holiday festi-
vities, when people are so busy in
shopping and merry-making that
many Of them may relax ordinary
restraint in driving and walking
habits. All citizens are urged to
allow a bit more time to perform
errands, whether by car or on foot
Walkers are advised to bear in mind
that drivers find it difficult to see
dark-clothed pedestrians at night,
and that when snow and ice pre-
walls it takes 3 to IL times more
