Mrs. Matthew S. Broun was

weekend 10 attend the annual
"Investiture" ceremony at Ag-
mes Scott, where her daughter,
Mary Ann, is a senior this year.
The Investiture ceremony
takes place at Agnes Scott each
year the first week in November.
The seniors march in wearing
the traditional senior vestments
and carrying their caps in their
hands. They march up and file
across the stage where the dean
takes the cap from each student
and places it on her head. After
the ceremony the seniors are al
lowed to wear their caps and
gowns on any occasion during
the remainder of the school
year.

1t was for a good while that
Mr.. Jones would get up early on

that he could build fires and
have the building nice and warm

Mr.. Jones is a farmer and is

BEAT ALUMNI IN
GREAT WORKOUT

The Crimson Bears of the Ju-

good workout last Wednesday
night in the gym by the Alumni
and emerged victors by score OF
38 to 20. The Bears, as put on
the floor by Coach Dade Nickel,
make a mighty good bunch OF
cagers and promise to uphold their
end in any game scheduled this
season.
There was capacity crowd,
with the High School band enliven-

cheer leaders and song queens
strutting their stuff galore. The
rooters played fair too. When good
shorts were made by the Alumni,
cheers were given but of course
the main yells went up when the

The Vice-President
Cincinnati Enquirer

The nation is paying deserved tribute to the per-
sona political valor President Truman It's worth
noting we think that his running mate also staged
remarkable campaign.
Alben W. Barley longer is young man, but
he forgot his years during this seemingly hopeless
campaign He travelled continuously by car train
and air Reporters a third his age weared OF the
pace he set and marveled at his boundless energy.
1t would have been notable enough back in the days
when Alben Barley earning for himself the
reputation of THE Iron Man in Kentucky politics.
This year he was to prove he wasn't Old And ne
proved it.
Senator Barley is man of very real competence,
fact sometimes lost sight of because OF his personal
friendliness, political diplomacy and party loyalty
With his long service in the Senate he should make
an ideal Vice President, and it is fitting climax
70 a long and honorable career of public service

RUSSIANS REGRET ERR

The success of the ERP can be
measured by the intensity of Rus
sian attempts to stir up trouble,
the Secretary of State has reported.
The greater the Marshall Plans
progress, the more the strikes and
riots to sabotage it.
The Iron Curtain even have a
hard time concealing the fact that
they would like to be in on the
Marshall Plan. Poland, for in
stance, sent its Foreign Minister
to see Secretary Marshall some
time ago and told him that he hao
made a great mistake in not dis
cussing the Marshall Plan with
Molotov before he talked it over
with Foreign Minister Bevin ano
Bidault. Then he would have
had Russias cooperation.
Marshall replied that he had not
discussed it with Bevin and BIZ
dault in advance, which obviously
the Pole did not believe.
The Secretary of State still feels
frustrated by the -SidedneSs OF
negotiations with Russia. Moscow
operates in vacuum. No criti-
ism is allowed If the Soviet
makes a mistake. no one in Russia
knows about it except the privi-
legged few inside the Kremlin
There is no pressure of public
opinion inside Russia to force the
Soviet Government into peaceful
role
The United States, on the other
hand. operates with the entire
world looking over its shoulder. If
a bad move is made, every news
paper front-pages it.
Marshall wouldn't change the
American system. But when he
was in the Army, he operated un-
der much greater secrecy. That's
one reason he gets tired and dis
couraged and would really like
to quit in the reasonably near fu-
ture and go back to his colonial
estate at Leesburg, Va.
