What with uranium, initiation
and microfilm in pumpkins, a
fellow has plenty to worry about
these days and so, daffy as it
may seem, whenever l get bad
case of headlinitis, I get into a
hack and take a drive around
my private Q ta e - Central
Park. And, as a rule. by the
time we swing back and the top
hated driver lets me out in front
of the Plaza Hotel, everything is
hunkydooly and I'm feeling fit
instead of throwing one.
OF course, the times b ing
what they are, l have to share
this private estate with quite
few co-ownels, but in the
main they're a friendly bunch,
and so l don't mind. In fact,
one of the things l like best a.
bout this 840-acre playground is
the people | see there. One of
them is famous composer who
trots around the reservoir every
morning in lavender shorts; a.
mother is a black-laced old bid
dy who shows up every day with
a 10-pound sack of seeds for the
birds. And then, of course,
there's our distinguished park
bench statesman, Bernard M.
Baruch, who likes to sun him
self on a bench. near the 64th
Stree, entrance.
Central Park, as you know, has
always been a source of mater
ial for those who word-paint SYM
dicated pictures of the Manhat-
tan scene, and today I'd like to
pass on a story.I recently heard
from the policeman who patrols
the area around the Loeb Mem
orial Foundation. Like most
good stories, it concerns itself
with a bum and a Duke.
The Duke, as the policeman
tells it, first appeared in the.
Park 80 years ago, shortly after
Lenin took over in Russia. He
had been dispossessed from his
large estate in the Crimea, and
by some miracle he had escap-
ed after year in Jail and a
fair amount of starvation.
In New York, His Excellency
moved into hall bedroom in
the East 70's, and after taking
one look at Central Park,
promptly adopted it as his own.
my estate in the Crimea was
large and beautiful" he inform
ed one of the guards at the
zoo, ''but these grounds are even
more beautiful. I shall instruct
your Mayor to throw them open
to the public Let the peasants
share them with me-"
Seeing as how the batty Duke

Pegler Lambasts American Press For Its Failure

crack that a documented expose
of acts, which but for a slight
technicality would have been
treason, was just red herring.
The default of the American
press in this case has been due
to a combination of cowardice,
ven ality, editorial arrog-
ance and incompetence. Many of
the men at fault threw in with
Roosevelt long ago and feel that
anything that would impair the
myth which they created or dis
credit his wife would discredit
them. Some of these fellows
have refused to let citizens, in
monopoly towns where they CEN

sordid facts of authenticated
swindles by the royal family.

whose chief officer during the
war was planted by the same
Felix Frankfurter who planted
the senile Stimson in the War
Department and Alger Hiss in
the State Department. Stimson
arried out Frankfurter's politi-
cal purposes in Europe, but one
hesitates, for lack of explicit
proof, to say that Hiss in the
state department served the pur-
poses of his sponsor.
The only really aggressive
radio reporter of fact material
injurious to the conspirators
has been Fulton Lewis. And
Lewis has been blacked out of
certain areas for lack of clients

AS the truth comes out at last,
the actual guilt of the Roosevelt
Communist-Har Law School
combination in stealing and re-
vealing secrets of the United
States to Soviet agents is proved
beyond reasonable doubt.
The American free press de-
serves no credit for the expose,
however, and the radio is not
merely remiss but disgraced, for
it actually used its loudest voic-
es to belitle and harass the
men who did uncover the spies.
Now a brazen campaign i S
underway, initiated by Chinaboy
Henry Luce, of the Time Life
Fortune group, to glorify Flea
nor Roosevelt, who was deeply
implicated in the process of
Communist penetration. China

the chief traitor, as his senior
editor on Time and he frequent
ly has had to "clean mouse" in
tn, politico editorial cells of
his queer temple. He may think
that in exalting Eleanor he is
now making common cause with
an old accomplice and that by
exalting her he helps to extri-
cate himself. However, that is
speculation. Luce was born i n
Shantung and he brought to Oc-
cidental journalism and oriental
slant which battles the standard
American.
President Truman is commit
ted to the ause of the faighless
trustees in !.le State Department
and his motives in fighting down
the truth are not impersonal as
many itizens generously
thought they were, His guilt is
personal because, we now dis
cover, he learned of this treach-
cry soon after he became Presi-
dent in 1945. He has ben pro-
tecting the traitors ever since.
He thus weakly became tainted
with guilt himself. There is leg
itinate ground for impeachment
here. Far from pursuing the
traitors, the Department Of JUS
tice, obedient to a guilty poll
cy," has been obstructing th e
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities and has failed to
IKE criminal action on evidence
which was presented to the Roo
sevelt cabal as long ago as 1899.
This is not gossip but sworn
testimony
The press has failed shame
fully and for, dishonorable rea-
sons and even today the full.
candid truth lies behind an iron
curtain. The great powers con-
trolling rnueH1 of QUE press and
much Of radio have suppressed
tn, existence of a treacherous
apparatus" in our State De-
partment for years. Excuses are
heard nowadays for this betray-
al of tn press franchise, b ut
they are, tawdry pleas by guilty
men. Now Truman has the po-
wer further to suppress evidence
and persecute, by false indict-
ment and economic boyco
those who bring facts to light.
If the Department of Justice
confines itself to grotesque
interpretations of old com =
munist friends conducted by
stumbling takers such as we
have seen in several New Jer-
sey cases, public confidence in
government may be destroyed,

Saws Marshall Has Been Disillusioned
By His Own Diplomatic Aides In China
BY Ray Tucker

WASHINGTON, Dec 24-Now
that Communist forces seem
able to overthrow the Chang
Kai-shek government and seize
control of the major portion of
China and its 100000 popu-
lation, high authorities at the
State Department and on Capt.
tol Hill admit that the revolu-
ionary chieftains are Stain sto-
oges, and not simply the leaders
of a peasant movement for re-
distribution of land and elimina-
ton of crushing taxes.
Even Secretary of State Mar
shall, who once urged that the
Generalissimo form a coalition
government in which the Com
munists would share, now con-
cedes that he was mistaken.
His own diplomatic aides have
disillusioned him on that score.
So have ex-senator D. Worth
Clark of Idaho and William c.
Built, who visited China as
special emissaries of the Senate
committees which handle foreign
relations and appropriations for
overseas assistance.
When Chang Kai-shek falls,
according to these reports, Chi
ma will become a Soviet vassal
state, and dispappear behind the
''iron curtain" as completely as
Poland, Czechoslovakia and 9TH
er satellite nations have vanish
ed.
TRAINED Eighteen of the
thirty-one acknowledged politi-
cal and military leaders of the
Communist movement in China
were trained in guerrilla warfare
propaganda and craftsmanship
in the Red schools of Russia.
They spent from two to five
years as Stain students of
world revolution, and his profess
sors impressed upon them that
the Soviet dictator regards Chi
ma and Asia and the islands Of
the Southern Pacific as the forth
coming seat of world commun-
ism

Making Life A Success

Practically every p rson n IN Halifax County,
whether woman, boy or girl, regardless Of
age and circumstances, hopes and intends to make
life success.
Stated in general terms, this ambition is COM
to all of 1t is only when we attempt to define
the meaning of success that differences of opinion
develop. Consequently it might be good idea for
the Individual to stop long enough to ponder t he
question and answer it.
The individual in his her zeal to be successful,
often accepts popular definition OF the term and,
thereby loses sight of the real goal Ones success
is not to be measured by the wealth accumulated,
the worldly honors received or the tickle acclamation
of so-called public opinion
So, today when there many ideas about
success we suggest that the individual reader anayze
his or her conception It should be obvious, we think,
that one can be successful only when life is in har
mony with our inner convictions. Yet if our prin-
ciples be wrong, life must be imperfect.
To those who read this article and particularly,
the young people, suggest the effort to outline
definite principles which considered acceptable
guides. AS start, one might try to discover DEF
mite principle upon which base daily activity
and to which is willing to be loyal under all cir
cumstances. This might sound easy but test it for
yourself

form.

J. A. ROGERS
IN PITTSBURGH
COURIER SAYS:

II said last week that Negroes
might as well write off all hopes
of civil rights legislation by the
next Congress. 1t would be so
even If the Republicans had won.
With the 81 Congress made up as
1t is, civil rights are back to
where they we're under Wilson
and Roosevelt.
Most of the S1st Congress will
be from States that already have
anti-Negro laws or with strong
anti-Negro feeling. Those in the
Truman column with laws against
Negroes are Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Georgia.
Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ar
kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Texas, Colorado, Arizona Nevada,
Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.
"Those with strong anti-Negro
feeling are New Mexico and the
southern portions of Ohio and Il
linois."
"Do YOU THINK that Con-
gressmen from these areas are
going to offend their white con-
stituency by giving equal rights
to Negroes? Add to them the
Dixie-Rat States of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama and South
Carolina. OF the Republican
States four have laws against
Negroes and these may be count
ed on generally to vote for jim
crow.
''In short, since the most anti
Negro part of the Nation is again
in power, placed there, it is said,
by the Negro vote, hope of relief
from injustice by Federal legis-
lation is further away now. I ex-
pect to enjoy many a cynical
chuckle from next January on.

said, are just too damn dumb to

to the thinker is to laugh or to
cry, and l choose to laugh"

it was announced by Major Gen
eral Albert E. Brown, Commanding
Officer, Northern Military District.
The exhibition is being sponsor
ed jointly by the Army and the
Portland Art Museum. General
Brown said, and win feature price
less paintings owned by German
museum before the war. They
include representative works of
such world famous artists as -
Raphael, Rembrandt, Halls Poussin,
Monet, Durer. Botticelli, Titan,
and Tintoretto.
The Army became responsible
for the German art treasures
when they were captured by Amer
lean soldiers fighting In Germany
during the final weeks of the war.
The paintings were part of the
faboulous treasure cache unheart-
ed by members of the Doth In
fantry Division deep in a salt
mine as they took the town of
Merkers during the Third Army's
drive through Germany in the
spring of 1916.
Due to unsettled conditions in
Europe at the close of the war,
many of the articles were taken
to the United States for safe
keeping. The Army and the Senate
Armed Service have been coope-
rating in the disposition of the
treasure and the majority of the
objects have already been return
ed to their rightful owners in the
various European countries.
Directors of the Berlin museum
agreed to a plan sponsored by the
arrangements with the Senate
Armed Service Committee and the
Secretary of the Army for the
German paintings to go on limit
ed exhibition tour of American
cities for the benefit of German
children. The National Gallery of
Art in Washington, d. g. acts as
agent for the Army in handling

of the tour. Museums participate
in the exhibitions under agree
ment worked out by the National
Gallery of Art.
There will be an admission
charge of soc for the exhibit and
the entire proceeds will go to

To insure the safety and Sc
curity of the collection, a special
detachment of military police from
