Pegler Says Truman Wants To Thwart Committee
On Un-American Activities In Current Spy Probe

years ago that Whitaker Cham
bers and other persons in the
communist conspiracy got state
secrets from appointees of the
New Deal government. Any da-
mage that we might have suf-
fered from these betrayals by
Roosevelt's clique was inflicted
on us long ago and we did not
even know we were hurt. The
dangerous continuing potentiali-
ties which are discussed so
learnedly by curbstone diplomats
after a five minute course in
craftsmanship seem to be mag
mary, They certainly are not
VEGETABLE in any scales of know
ledgeT therefore, Truman runs
no risk in sneering at the sec
rets of the pumpkin and in us
ing the Department Of Justice
to clutter the committees work
and Illustrate justice. He is in for
four yea rs, late in his life, and
beyond that has no ambition.
The Department of Justice is
used to obstruct justice against
deserving Democrats and to
hound and beat opponents of the
regime as a matter of common
political routine. In this case,
the traitors and their associates
are not deserving Democrats in
the sense that Philip Murray is.
But their conviction would prove
that Roosevelt did open the door
to enimies while Herbert Hoov-
er and Charles Lindbergh were
pilloried and prosecuted by some
of those very traitors.
Therefore, the Department Of
Justice will maui the cases
through grand juries and fun
BILE them in the trials with the
studious earnestness of the
clown bear with a bottle of beer.
There will be no convictions.
There have been many prece-
dents for this type of managed
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-12-15

miscarriage of Justice, notably
in the prosecutions of corrupt
unioneers. All of them went free
although in one case, the farce
was so raw that Tom Clark HIM
self was forced to admit that it
wasn't even good mockery. In
the Phil Murray case, Felix
Frankfurter hollered legalistic
version of the ancient ringslde
cry of: Fake" He seemed to
be on the point of throwing
bottle at the buns when Chief
Justice Vinson told him in open
court, but in judicial terms, of
course, that he would punch him
right on the snoot if he didn't
shut up. There are a few flies
on Felix himself, as these es-
says will prove in a gently per-
suasive way in months to come,
so he shut up. But he was right
about the Murray case, never
theless. 1t was one of those
things beyond any doubt.
1t will be a bitter Illustration,
after all this roofing and digging
and tearing away on hot, con-
fusing trails, to see the varmints
get away. Actually, the record
of sabotage, betrayal and of col
ossal extravaganza by Commun-
lists in the Roosevelt government
is truthful and terrible, though
often helter-skelter and windy.
But it must be remembered that
these committees had to face a
hostile president a n d cabinet
from the beginning until now
and a hostile press and hos
tile, ignorant public much of the
time. Even today, though the
public is at last convinced that
Roosevelt did let the Commun-
lists in, Truman, with his spright-
E, but insipid, cry of RED
Herring" is more popular than
the committee itself.

Marlow Finds Out How One Man Feels
After Being Attacked By No. l Killer

asked him, dead-pan, when it
was over:
"Well, what's the scorer"
"It's heart attack" the doc
tor said.
"How much time do I have?"
my friend asked him.
81 don't know" the doctor
said. "You may live 10 years.
maybe 20, maybe till IS. can't
tell how your arteries are"
1t was a terrible shock. l
guess my friend had thought his
arteries would be all right till
he was 100. Anyone feels that
way, I guess.
My friends attack was mild.
He could sit up in a chair most
of the time and read. He told
me:
II looked out the window, day
after day, and my whole life
went before me. I thought:
suppose l die today or tomorrow.
What difference does it make?
II can't see where it makes
much difference, except to my
family. 1t wouldn't make much
difference to me. I've lived my
life. I know what being alive in
the world is.
I've tried to live it without
hate or prejudice for any other

The heart is a time-bomb.
You carry it around in your
chest. On still nights, in the
dark, you can hear it ticking
away.
Then one day-if you're one OF
about 80 per cent of the people
it seems to explode.
Maybe there's only a dull pain,
or maybe it's a binding pain,
and then death, or long months
of lying quietly in bed.
Last night the Public Health
Service said heart disease is still
the no. l killer, that 100000
people died of it last year.
For years, as I've grown old
er, I've wondered how a man
feels who's had heart attack
and recovered.
I've wondered what it did to
him and to his thinking about
himself.
Then l found man who had
such an attack, a men Of "A who
had been extremely active ply
sically, one of my closest friends.
He told me how it had been
for couple of night before:
There was a terrible feeling,
like indigestion, not sharp pain.
just that dull feeling that sent
him to the doctor.

POWER-Two incidents oc-
Cured simultaneously last Fri
day demonstrating the import
ance of electric power in mod
ern economy and proving its
indifference to artificial geogra-
phic limitations. The occasions
also proved that the brain pow
er of man transcends his physi-
cal energy or that produced by
turbines.
INCIDENTS - The incident
were inspection by governor Of
ficials of the United States, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina of the
early stages of the Bugg's Is
land plant at Cliffside. The
Bugg's Island deal is just be-
ginning, the Cliffside plant is in
full operation. The Bugg's Is
Ind and power house is in Vir-
ginia but in sight of North Caro-.
lima line and most of its effect
will be in flood control and
power generation for North
Carolina. The Cliffside plant is
in North Carolina, but in sight
of South Carolina line, and it
was stated that its greatest di-
rect influence will be felt in the
Spartanburg industrial artea. In.
directly, through the almost mir
aculous system of transmitting
electric energy both plants will
serve the entire continent.
PUBLIC-Speeches and off
record comment heard at meet
ings connected with the inspec-
ton tours indicated that there
is little real difference in pub
lie ownership, control or bene-
fits of the projects. Bugg's Is
land is a sociahstic government
tai project, comparable in ma
jor aspects to IVA, MVA and
the Columbia river develop
ments. Cliffside is a private in
dustry project, developed by a
huge corporation In which the
capital stock is widely owned
by the same people who pay
the taxes that finance govern
ment projects. The narrow dis
tinction between so-called pri-

Nisbet Points To Incidents Which
Shows Importance OF Electric Power

vate and commonly regarded
public projects of this type was
indicated when one of the speak
ers talking about the Cliffside
plant inadvertently referred to
it as public power project.
PRIVATE-All the speakers
at Bugg's Island had some con-
nection with public" Or govern
ment operation; all those at the
dinner honoring the folks who
built the Cliffside plant repre-
sented private operation.
The address of welcome at Shell
by was given by DR.. Phil Elliott,
President of Gardner-Webb
College. He noted the INSOFAR
able relation of human values
and cultural progress with in
dustrial development. He told
of the splendid job non-tax
schools and colleges are doing
and among his chief applauders
were Chancellor John Harrelson
of State College and President
Frank Poole of Clemson Col
lege, administrative heads Of
the technical colleges in the
Carolinas largely supported by
federal and state tax-money ap-
preparations.
BRAINS - Numerous state
ments were made proving that
human brain power is more po-
tent than any physical power.
Two items may suffice to prove
the point. Thirty years ago it
required four tons of coal to
produce one kilowatt of electric
energy; the most modern cliff
side plant produces a kilowatt
with eight-tenths of ton of
coal. Another startler: The
twenty million dollars, produces
100000 horse power of energy
a day, but requires less than
one hundred men to operate it.
Thirty-five technicians keep the
main generating system work
ing "a hours day, 1855 days a
year. About sixty others are
employed in varying degrees of
skilled labor such as coal SHOW
elers, truck drivers and
mechanics.

Washington, Dec, 14-With
President Truman's reiterations
of his old cry of "red herring"
we resume where we left off.
For reasons plain to anyone
who has followed the career of
the committee on un-American
Activities, the President is still
determined to thwart the COM
mittee and to disparage its act
ual revelations of treason and
similar treachery in the State,
War, Navy and Commerce De-
partments under the Roosevelt
regime. Truman is the heir to
the Roosevelt political estate,
much of which, of course has
been debased by historical dis
closures since the end of the
shooting war. He obviously still
thinks it would be bad politics
to admit or let anyone else prove
that Roosevelt did open the door
to agents of the Kremlin. How
ever, he has not openly carried
the target for Roosevelt as often
as the widow and Jimmy the
Eaglet expected him to. Where
as it had been generally thought
that he would campaign in the
great name of Roosevelt he
hardly mentioned him and made
his fight in his own name and
confined his attack entirely to
the Eightieth Congress.
Inasmuch as the penetration
of the State Department by the
Communists took place during
Roosevelt's reign, and early in
his reign at that, Mr.. Truman
could very gracefully join the
committee on un-American Acti-
vities, in bounding the traitors
and spies and all their accomp-
Ices. After all, they aren't his
traitors and spies Roosevelt let
them in and we don't have to
prove what his reasons were.
1t is enough to know that they
got in during his presidency and
to point to proof in the records
of the old Dies Committee that
they were there with his know
ledge. He may have been move
by recklessness and impudence
rather than conscious traitorism
although he seems to have had
no more patriotic loyalty than
his ancestors who were tories
in the Revolution and Copper
heads il the Civil War.
Whatever Truman's motives
are, he certainly is a primitive
American of the Spelvin type
and such treachery is to him as
evil as to any other naive, corn
fed, 100 per center from the
first World War.
None of Truman's friends with
access to the eye and ear of the
public has ever tried to explain
why, then, he fights so hard to
prevent the denunciation of
traitors by the House COM
mittee. The explanation there
fore, must be found by deduc-
ton which brings us to the con-
clusion that Truman hates
them as much as any other loyal
ist but will not let the Republi-
cans derive any political bene-
fit from exposure of the Demo-
cratic party's crimes. nor even
let them earn the credit for era
dicating national danger.
As the lawyers and cosmic
statesmen would put it, time is
ON Truman's side. It was eleven

WASHINGTON, Dec. l4-Pre-
liminary European and Washing
ton talks on the proposed North
Atlantic military alliance have
produced remarkable results for
such revolutionary project. But
detailed discussions now under
way here dramatize the difficult
ties which must be solved before
final pact can be presented to
Congress or foreign parliaments
for ratification.
The American people and leg
islators will be startled when the
first entente of its kind in his
tory is unveiled. For the deter
mined planners hav proceeded
on the assumption that the seven
governments meant what they
said when they agreed to pre-
pare western civilization in ad-
vance against a prospective foe
(RusSia), instead of waiting un-
til the Continent had been over
run and occupied by the enemy,
as it was by Hitler il 1910,
ROCK The staff, working un-
der British Marshall Bernard l..
Montgomery who will head the
allied force at least in its for
native stages, has gone over
every problem which new or
old army faces-cost, size, bases,
selection of fighting front, uni
forms, supplies, arms and re-
serves.
Needless to say, American mo-
ney, industrial capacity, arma-
ment, air-land-sea power and
prestige are the solid rock upon
which this new Gibraltar will
be erected. Without us, there
would not be the faintest idea
that so many nations of differ
ent languages, national aims,
customs and geography should
or could unite militarily as well
as economically.

the all-out expense to the Unit
ed States over a four or five
year period will range from fif-
teen to eighteen billion dollars,
or about the cost of the Marshall
Plan. Nor does this figure in
clude the outlay for rearming
Latin American Republics,
Greece, Turkey and possibly
China.
PLANS Preliminary plans call
for an allied arm of from twen-
ty to thirty divisions, or from
AGO. 900 to 100000 men. Euro
pean nations prefer an even
higher figure. A sizable force
is required because of the weak
ness of every participating
member, including ourselves.
These would be supplied and
equipped with the finest arms,
from pistols to jet planes, that
modern industry can provide, in
GluulliS lel TAIL oellSe weapons
devised or developed since
World War II. 1t would be
unified unit in being and un-
der training at all times behind
the selected defense line,
Otherwise, there would be the
same piecemeal anc blundering
operations that occurred after
the 1914 and 1910 break
throughs by the Germans.
For both defense and attack,
this Army of Western Europe
would have an air complement
the latest attack planes and
bonbers.

of planes and pilots at both
continental and off-shore points
"a particularly touchy subject
We now have the right to base'
in Greenland, Iceland, the
Azores, England, Germany and
North Africa, although there
have been suggestions that we
give them up.
Fact is that we would need
more supply, naval and aerial
strongpoints in event of con-
flict or even to prevent attack.
Therefore, it is hoped that Port
ugal. tally, Greece, Turkey, Den
mark ana Norway will eventual
ly join. The Scandinavian coun-
tries, however, face an elnbar-
RAISING problem because of their
closeness to Russia.
A Mediterranean front, at
least for planes and warshlps, IS
regarded as essential because OF
the Importance of that basin, es-
pecially in any trouble with Mos
COW.
Once the alliance be- ONES op-
erative, the diplomats will as
sumo the task Of winning these
additional members. Charter or
eanizers, besides the U. S. and
Canada, are Bri in, France, Bel
sium, The NetherlandI and Lux
emburs.
LINE Despite talk of the Py-
renees Mountains as first de-
fensive line, such choice has
become fantastic, despite its
military advantages
For one thing, it would mean
that the land of the European
members would be ceded to the
foe even before a patrol shot
was fired. 1t would be an invita-
ton to him to walk into this in
dustrial, agricultural and miner
al-rich area, and make himself
at home.
France, Belgium, Holland al 1
Luxembourg would never agree
to such abandonment of their
countries. Nor would England
want an invader to stand just
across the ckarnel-again.
The holding line will prob
ably be fixed along the Rhine,
which Franklin D. Roosevelt
once called ''the American
front" 1t is not strong natur-
al barrier but a powerful force
could probably stop the enemy
pending the arrival of reinforce
ments, especially air units.
ARSENAL Ane ther difficulty
consists Of the proposal that al
location of the manufacture and
contribution of weapons be bas-
ed on each members varied
capacity for producing them,
Under this system there would
be a division OF industrial re-
sponsibility. France, Belgium
and Holland, for instance, might
turn out rifles, machine guns,
small arms ant ammunition for
them; England light and heavy
artillery; the United States
planes, ships, tanks, vehicles,
food etc.
But that idea has been dis
missed as impracticable save in
isolated instances. No nation
wants to specialize so intensively
for fear she would be helpless
if the alliance fell apart some
day. 1t would also disrupt civil
ian industry.
In any event, despite unifica-
ton and decentralization of
the western powers forces, the
United States will be-again--
the arsenal of democracy"

Vote Indicates Northampton Is Not
Too Interested In Its Schools


Too Interested In Its Schools
Northampton Countys citizens apparently are
not very interested in bettering education in t he
county.
That is the indication of the vote in Northampton
County in which important bond issue was badly
defeated. Actually, the vote shows chiefly that most
of the citizens do not whether improvements
are made not to the schools which would have
been affected in the election The vote light in
spite of interest which had been aroused IN the elec
ton to see whether not the county would issue
approximately $130,000 in bonds to make school i'm
provements.
Just how many more people are concerned over
beer and wine as are concerned over schools seen
clearly Saturday, when approximately 1900 people
voted in the school issue. In early September when
the question of voting to discontinue the sale OF beer
and wine in the county up in special election
about $500 people went to the polls.
That does not look too we'll for education.
The CASTOR township vote in Saturdays Special
election may be regarded in special light Castor
School District stood to gain new high school build
ing and new gymnasium If the BOND election naa aa
carried than any other school district IN the
county. Yet with all that at stake the people over
CASTOR way showed how alive they are to matters
of prime Importance by casting total of AZ votes
in two complete precincts, vote so negligible as to
make each vote an expensive one to the county tor
paying poll holders.
CASTOR citizens further indicated how much they
wanted that new school and gymnasium for their
Youngsters by giving the bond issue election the
sweeping approval of 25 to II in favor
Jackson and Woodland precincts came through
with good majorites in favor of the bonds, in
dcating that the proponents of better schools evil
IDENTIFY did lot of missionary work in these two pre-
cincts.
We can't help but wonder if the vote would not
have been lot different in the county if they had
let the school children the who really 60
ing to be affected in the long run-vote last Sat-
urday.
Now, Northampton County people are going to
declare they really interested in their schools and
there is probably not citizen in the county who Will
saw he is opposed to better schools On the record,
however, in a system where the majority has the
final word they have opposed progress in education
bv their own vote.
After ALL the people have spoken, and what they
saw goes.
