Medal For Hull

No man, with the possible exception
of General John P~ershing, occupies a
higher place in the regard of the Ameri.
can people than the Hon. Cordell Hull,
1t is with true gratitude, we are
sure, that they learn of the honor
finally bestowed upon him in the form
of the Medal of Merit with oak leaf
cluster, personally by President Tru-
man, in a simple ceremony at the Naval
Hospital where Mr.. Hull has long been
a patient.
The citations note that Mr.. Hull, as
Secretary of State, made diplomacy "a
powerful weapon in support of our
armed strength" and commend his
services in the defense period up to the
attack on Pearl Harbor.
The Roosevelt clan probably will
dispute the declaration that he is the
father of the United Nations, but we
believe the majority of those who know
the course of events while the organ
%ization was being formed are in full
agreement with it.
Mr.. Hull gave his entire active
career to public service. After many
years in Congress, where his voice
was always raised in behalf of sound
legislation, he was called into the
Cabinet by President Roosevelt, as
Secretary of State, at which post he
remained until his health broke.
1t was he who created the good
neighbor policy" which has done more
to cement relations between the United
States and republics in Latin America
than any American statesman in this
nations history, since the Monroe
Doctrine.
On his 18th birthday he issued a
statement from his hospital room set
ting forth his views on the trend of
world affairs. He reviewed conditions
throughout the world without CLOSING
over evil conditions even then emerg-
ing in the aftermath of World War II.
In conclusion he wrote:
There is an overwhelming need to-
day for every one O fthe United Ma
lions, whether large or small to keep
faith with those ideals of a brother
hood Of peace, justice, and freedom
which inspired our wartime unity and
cur wartime efforts to insure unity
among us after victory. All mankind
will be eternally grateful to those
statesmen who follow this course un-
s%wervingly and thus demonstrate
their courage, their ability, and-above
all - their unyielding devotion to
peace and humanity at one of the most
p%erilous junctures in history"
Like most good advice his recon-
mendations have been ignored. This
does not lessen their value. It would
be well for the world if the General
Assembly of the United Nations and
the Big Three gathered in Moscow
needed them.

A BAGDAD ROMANCE
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Years ago, when making a trip
down the Tigris River on a goat
ski, raft, I hired at Diarbekir as
servant a husky Armenian young
man, whose family had persisted,
he told me, in an Armenian mas
sacre.
After a bookful of experiences,
We arrived in Bagdad, and my
faithful dragoman, old Shamu,
took "Cheer-Up'', as we called
him, to the Armenian Church.
There he discovered his own
brother, who had likewise escaped
the massacre, Lying among the
dead as dead ;" thinking himself
the only survivor of his family.
The brother was secretary to a
rich man, and from that hour
,,Cheer-Up," was made.
More romantic reunions than
thi, await many of us at the end
Of life's journey. All, the urim :
aginable joy of these unexpected
meetings in the Father house OF
many mansionsl
We thank Thee. Fatf err, for all
the surprises Of love. Thou hast
planned better things FOR us than
we can ever devise for ourselves

PHILADELPHIA. May 25-Pe
Bobby Locke of South Africa
trudged through fog, rain, mud
and a pair of sub-par rounds to-
day to win the Philadelphia In
quirer $15,O 900 Invitation Golf
tourney with a 277 as Ben Hogan
leader by five strokes after So
holes, skidded to five blows off
top place.
Locke, as relaxed as Wilted let
tuce, made two trips over the
Cedarbrook par II layout today
in 10 each while Hogan, VINO drop
ped the record for the 6,573 yard
course to IS in the first round Fri
cay, zoomed to a n before lunch
and then followed with a 70.
Hogan's 282 dropped him to
fourth place behind Locke, open
champion Lloyd Mangrum of
Chicago and Matt Kowal of Phila-
delphia. The latter two tied for
second at 281.
The 2~9-year-old South African,
a member of the Royal Air Force
curing the war, was five blows
behind Hogan when they loitered
for 40 minutes on the tee this
morning waiting for the fog to lift.
When they did start Hogan had
lost all control of his driver, land
ing in the rough four times in the
first nine holes.
That was all the opportunity
Locke needed and he went to lunch
with a two-stroke margin which
he protected with another SUBJ
par round while Hogan scared to
a 70 in the afternoon, primarily
because he exceeded regulation
figures on the last three holes by
four strokes.
The triumph, Locke's third in
five U. S. tournaments, brought
his winnings to Sc, 037.5O. He tied
eo1 fourteenth in the Masters at
Augusta, Ca, shortly after his
arrival, followed that with victo-
ries in the Carolinas Open and the
