the United States can do much to ease the
present economic problen-can do SO even
without France.
Of course. without cooperation all
around, the peace-making will amount to
little more than making the best of a
very bad situation. But that best
economically ly-could conceivably be i'm
pressiye enough to persuade Russia to
play ball In any event. doing something
would be far better than doing nothing at
ALL Two years after We day, the time
is certainly here for action. If the Soviet
Union does not drop it's obstructionism
now, it will find this country taking far
reaching measures without it. That is
the real meaning implicit in the highly
favorable response to Mr.. Hooyer's ideas.

Time to Do Something

The Soviet government should ma mucn
food for thought in the way Congress has
reacted-on a bipartisan basis-in favor OF
former President Hoover's ideas on the
peace-making.
1t is a reaction that reflects deep and
widespread impatience among the Ameri-
can people over Russias stubborn obstruc-
tionism. 1t reflects, too, growing suspi-
cion that the Kremlin, by blocking all
efforts to promote economic recovery and
political stability abroad, is deliberately
seeking to do two things: % To drive the
United States from Europe and Asia by
wearing us down automatically and flnan-
cially, and (2) to create chaotic atmoS-
phere conducive to the future advance of
Communist dominance in the key areas of
the world.
More than two years have passed since
We day, but still there is no peace worthy
of the name. AS the recent Moscow Con-
ference made dismally clear the primary
blame for this rests on Russia. But 1t does
no good simply to point an accusing finger
and let everything go with that in the
hope that somehow, some day, the Kremlin
in building~a decent world society. The
situation is too bad, too critical, to be
allowed to drift any longer. What is
mandatory now is positive action with or
without Soviet participation.
AS far as Europe is concerned, the action
proposed by Mr.. Hoover is not unlike that
suggested by John Foster Dulles, one of
Secretary Marshall's advisers at Moscow.
France agrees with us on most fundamen-
tails, but it has Joined Russia in failing
to abide by the Potsdam Agreement as
regards the economic uniication of Ger
many Accordingly, Mr.. Hoover would have
the United States Immediately issue "a last
call" to both countries to change their
stand. That failing, he would then have
the British and ourselves integrate and
exploit to the full the economy Of the
Anglo-American zones. In addition, he
would set up temporary centralized
German government over the two zones,
and he would have us consider signing a
separate peace with that government if
the November Conference of Foreign Min
listers should prove fruitlesS. AS for Asia,
he would have us act at once to summon
conference TO write treaty for Japan.
Mr. Hoovers thesis is not entirely un-
aSsailable. There is reason to ask, for
example, whether formal conference on
Japan would be feasible at this time.
Moreover, the idea of a separate peace
with a German regime in the Anglo
American zoneS-while the French and
Russian zones remain as they are-does
not seem particularly promising. But
these points are merely incidental. What
cannot be questioned is the common sense
of Mr.. Hoover's main theme-hiS argument
for action now to revitalize the German
and japanese economies. This is impera-
lively needed to reduce the drain on
Americas resources and promote the re-
covery and peace of Europe and Asia. Thus,
even if Russia continues to hold out, the
European situation can be improved by the

matter will undoubtedly be discussed diplo-
matically between ourselves and our neigh
bors to the southwark, to see what had
best be done. The issue will presumably
be on the agenda at the coming meeting
at Rio de Janeiro or the subsequent Pan
American Conference at Bogota, Colombia,
assuming that nothing has happened in
the interim. So fragrant violation of
democratic principles can hardly be
condoned

A Skeptical Book Review?

A Skeptical Book Review?
To the Editor Of The Star:
A very interesting study in contrasts was
afforded by two reviewers Of Sinclair Lewis
newest novel, one of which appeared in The
Star.
Your reviewer, I think, Is more than a bit
incredulous of the whole story. He thereby
symbolizes simple and titanic truth: That
most white people do not believe that Negroes
lives are made appreciably more burdensome,
not to say tragic, because of race prejudice.

The observers Americanism

To the Editor of The Star:
School Board Member Adelbert W. Lee has
elected promise from DR.. Corning to investi
gate allegedly subversive literature and text
books being used in the D. c. public schools
Named as subversive by Mr.. Lee is the Ameri-
can Observer, weekly news sheet written
expressly for use in school current history
classes. Those who read the Observer know
that the charge is utterly ridiculous.
Mr. Lees specific complaint Is that in a
recent issue the American Observer reprinted
from Look magazine a condensation of an
article critical of the service academies, West
Point and Annapolis. If Mr.. Lee will examine
the American Observer for May 26, 1947 he
will find another condensation this time from
Harpers, defending the service academies. This
is consistent with the American Observers
policy of giving all parties to any controversy
an equal hearing. Never have I known the
publication to give only one side of an issue
and if Mr.. Lee had been as familiar with the
Observer as his position on the school board
would seem to warrant, he would never have
made his Incorporate charge.
1 have been a subscriber to the American
Observer ever since my school days 10 years
ago. It's pages are refreShingly clear of the
rancor and bias that mark so many periodicals.
1t has always given completely impartial treat
ment of even the most controversial issues. To
quote its editor, Walter E. Myer, I'm the schools
there should be serious and sustained study of
national and international problems. There
should be full and free discussion. Opposing
points of view should be carefully and objec-
lively examined - Study and free discussion
are most needed in cases where opinions are
sharply opposed. That is the way of dem
ocracy"
A full and complete apology from Mr.. Lee
seems to be in order.

OF Two Byesville Men By Local Officials

It is expected that the alleged
third member of the trio will soon
be taken into custody.
Loss of the baby beef was first
discovered Thursday morning by
Mr.. Secrest when he went to the
field to feed the stock. 1t is believed
that the calf had been killed and
skinned on the spot and taken away
in a truck.
Mayor Secrest said that Sam Muir
ply of the Chaseville community OBJ

the men were out hunting hickory
nuts.
1t is said that the FBI investigators
will trace the angle of the blood and
hairs found in the truck with those
found on the spot in the field where
the calf was butchered.

ably follow this investigation.

Noble CountianS
Urged 70 Cast
Vote On Tuesday
Presiding Judges To
Receive Instructions
At Saturday Meeting

A meeting of all presiding judges
in Noble county will be held in the
Common Pleas courtroom, Saturday
afternoon, at which time they will
receive final instructions for hand
ling the light vote which is expected
in this county at the general cleo
ton, Tuesday, November 4.
J. Kyle Walkenshaw, clerk, and
members of the Board of Elections,
will be in charge of this meeting
and handle the last minute instruc-
tions, if any should be received from
state headquarters.
The off-year election, when village
officials, township trustees and
clerks, and members of various
school boards, seek these offices,
looms as an extremely quiet one in
this county-the same situation ex-
isting throughout the state.
The largest pulling vote is ex-
pected to be the veterans bonus is
sue and there is every indication
that it will pass without any opposi-
ton.
The other three state amendments
are the gas tax amendment, which
for any other purpose eXcepC better
highways. In spite of organized op-
position, this amendment is expected
to be voted on favorably.
The other two amendments would
increase the number of members o1
the state sinking fund commission
and the last would make a change
in time and method of payment fol
judges of the probate court. This
affects only SO counties in the state
including Noble county. In the re.
naming counties, the probate judges
will stand to take a loss in their
salary.
Brookfield township voters will
be asked to support the renewal Of
a three mill levy, over a period o.
three years, and to be used for oper.
ating expenses.
The only local option election il
this county is Beaver ownship, ex
elusive of Batesville, which include!
the sale of liqour, beer and wine.
There are two members to bt
elected to the Noble county board o.
education and only two are running
E. o. Bond and J. o. Gibson. 1t i!
expected they will receive a large
complimentary vote.
In each local school district there
are three and two members to bC
elected. Little, if any, fight looms
in the various districts.
Down in the village of DeXtel
City, a large vote is expected since
there is a fight being waged within
the corporation limit for officials
Two separate states are also listeC
at Belle Valley but in the main, mos
of the officials will be elected with
out opposition.
On the non-partisan ticket, tn
picture is different for trustees an'
clerks. There is opposition in almos
all the townships.
The "a precincts will open at 6:3
a. m, Tuesday, and remain open un
til the usual time.
1t is the duty of each and ever,
citizen in Noble county to cast hi
or her vote November 4, and you ar
urged to 60 the polls.

When DR.. Ackley, while in Cald-
we'll, was asked to state very brief
ly the major aim of the u. S. in an

he replied:
World War II would never have
occurred if the Allies had taken
over the complete supervision of the
schools of Germany, Immediately
after World War l. The Allies hav-
ing failed to do that, the Germans
used their schools as incubators for
Nazism and German Youth move
ments. This type of usage of Ger
man and Japanese schools must not
be permitted again. This is the ma
jor aim of the u. S. in the education
al program on which shall be work.
ing. Beyond that aim there will, of
course, be strenuous efforts to inn
prove the native schools In other
manners possible.
DR.. Ackley was recently employed
in the U. S. Office of Education for
the utilization of surplus property.
In that capacity, he was instrument
tai in obtaining millions of dollars
worth of surplus war property for
the use of schools of America.

The English Journal. He is one OF
the founders and a contributor to
the first six volumes of The Year
book of School Law.
DR.. Ackley had an opportunity to
fly to Japan but he preferred to
make the trip by ship.

1t is expected that the largest
crowd in the history of local foot
ball will be present for this game,
in. spite of the fact that it is the
first meeting of the two teams.
Byesville has already placed an
order for 500 tickets and there is
every indication that a strong fol-
lowing of Byesville citizens will al
so be on hand for the kickoff.
The Falcons will be accompanied
by their high school band and they
will also perform before the open
ing of the game. The band has made
it a practice to furnish a musical
background when the Falcons first
make their appearance on the grid
iron. It is expected that they will
also perform at the half-tirne period.
This will be the last home game
for the Redskins, as them annual Ar
mistice Day game will be played
this year at McConnelsville.

Tarleton Coffee Shop
Under New Management

In a deal which was closed early
Thursday morning, Tommie Rucker,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. William Rucker,
Spruce street, became the new
manager of Tarleton's Coffee Shop
on North street.
The restaurant was purchased by
his mother, Mrs. Amy Wentworth
Rucker, but the active management
will be under the supervision of her
son.
1t will be remembered that Robert
Tarleton, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Tarleton, purchased the restaurant
from Ross Schafer in December,
1945.
The transaction includes all the
fixtures, etc., but not the building,
which is still owned by Ross
Schafer.
The new manager is a returned
veteran of World War II and since
his discharge has been employed
with the Standard Oil Co. of Ohio,
working out of the district office in
GAINESVILLE.
Tarleton expects in the near fu-
ture to become associated with the
Brady Miller operation headquarters
at Brady's Radio Shop, Caldwell.
