HOLE CARD:
Chind's Missing?

With stakes ter~rifcally high and
the Communists having him beat
showing, China's Chang Kai-shek
fingered the pasteboards for a look
at his hole card. In a quick double
take, he looked again. Was it gone,
or had it dwindled to a deuce?
That's the way poker players
might have described the tense sit
uation which faced beleaguered
China and her, generalissimo. The
United States, China's only and all
powerful ally, appeared waning in
ardor for the generalissimo's lead
ership. No less an authoritative
U. S. foreign-policy spokesman
than Senator Tom ConnaTly 3D.,
Tex.), who will head the senate
foreign relations committee in the
81st congress, had spoken.
PUTTING 1T BLUNTLY, Senator
Connally had said, in effect, that
China generally, and Chang Kali
shek especially, should have done
more to help themselves in the bat
tie against Chinese Communist
forces before pressing an 11th-hour
appeal for mor American aid.
The senator emphasized his view
point: He stated that the visit of
Madame Chang Kai-shek to the
United States was mot by invita-
ton of the United States govern
ment." He made it clear that
Madame Chang was ''just a pro-
tagonist of the Chinese govern
ment."
WOE PILED UPON WOE for the
Chinese. C%oincident with Senator
Connally's statement, press serv-
ices carried the following dispatch
from New Orleans: civilian Nc
Chesney Martin, president Of the
u. S. Export-Import bank, said the
bank would not even consider a
loan now to Nationalist China. He
said the Export-Import bank does
not have on hand as much money
as China probably will want, and
that China is a poor business
risk"
Why was Connaly giving the
back of his hand to the generals
simo? Hear the senator: "Chiang
is a generalissimo except that he
doesn't go out and generalize.
If he took command of n of his
armies in the field, he would do
more to revive the morale of his
people than anything else"
The Texan was but voicing pub
licly what other administration Of
6cials have been saying privately
they are not too keen about
Madame Chiang's about propa-
ganda drive to divert more money
and materials to China, possibly
at the xpense Of the Marshall-plan 7
countries. Connally summed up by =
that he was not prepared at
his time to pass any opinion on in
,reasing the aid to China, but ,
st am not in favor of send >
ng combat troops to China" =
MEANWHILE. CHIANG'S Su-
how garrison was under orders to g
ALLY forth in an effort to save c
Janking and rescue ar entire army e
.roup trapped by the rampaging n

ion of needing the call. The fate

by Youth Often
Result of Home Life

A short scan of the police blot
ter should convince the most OBJ
stinate optimist that crimes COM
mitted by Negroes in Dayton have
reached the scandalous stage. Ev-
cry day, it seems, a steady stream
Of law breakers pass before the
prosecuting attorneys to face
charges. The overwhelming ma
jority of these violators are young
people under 20. Their crimes run
from petty misdemeanors to ma
jors acts, like murder.
That so many young people are
involved is symptomatic of a very
unhealthy condition in our homes.
The condition is projected into
youths and is manifested through
them in criminal acts.
Because of economic depriva-
ton, or racial completes friction
is generated among the adults of
a household. Continual arguments
fights, neglect Of children, all Of
these contribute to the Delinquent
cy of youth, delinquency which
leads often to a life of crime.

cipline SO necessary to cope sue
cessfully with the problems of
life. Discipline not only from YER

CRACKERS UNLAWFUL

"IIt is unlawful to sell, retail

This is the state law which for

City and county police authorities
have issued an edict to punish all
violators of the law, both vendors

necessary b ythe more than so

continually acting on bad be-
havior.
We had this point driven home
to us recently when on the plea
of a mother whose teen-age son
was in serious trouble with the
police, we attempted to intercede
on behalf of the son. Although we
still can criticize police tactics in
this particular case, it developed
that the mother had, from moth
erly instinct, perhaps, not detailed
the case history of her son too ac-
curately. Facts that came to light
made it extremely difficult for us
to work out a case Eve did criti-
cize police tactics howere).
But this sort of loose uncon-
ern, this seeming don't care-till-
my-son-gets-in-trouble attitude is
the cause of much harm to many,
especially the parents and the
sol The time to act is prior to
the crime, not after. Had this
mother properly trained her son
evidence shows he never would
have gotten into trouble.
1t is the responsibility of par
ents to provide an atmosphere for
their children which will enable
them to develop into useful citi-
zens instead of criminals. This
cannot bed one through moral
suasion alone, but by setting the
example in their own lives, by act
ing as useful citizens themselves.

Chief Calls Mundt
Bill Legislative
Dragnet"

WASHINGTON, June II. "a
NP)-Leslie Perry of the Wash

the Mundt-Nixon, so-called anti
communist bill, as a Legislative
dragnet" in a statement submit
ted Friday to the senate judiciary
committee which held hearings on
the measure.
Perry said that the definitions
in the bill of what shall constitute
"subversive" activities are so
vague as to place it within the
power 0 fthe department of JUS
tice to declare illegal the work
of practically any progressive or
CARNATIONS working for economic,
political or social betterment.
'If the congress passes the
Mundt bill, Perry declared, "it
will have forged a weapon which,
in the hands of certain illiberal
elements of the American popula-
ton and government, will menace
if not destroy, the very existence
of democratic forces in the Uni
ted tSates. They will do this by
bringing about the total blackout
of ciliv liberties" With this state
menty Perry urged the committee
to report unfavorable on the
measure.

TeIevision Tube Shortage
Expected 10 End Soon
Nv the Assoeioted Press

TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 3.-Produc-
ton OF 10 and II Il Inch glass bulbs
for television viewing tubes will
catch up with demand reasonably
soon," the Owens Illinois Glass Co.
predicted today.
Stanley ]. McGiveran, vice presi-
dent, said mechanization of produc-
ton by Owens Illinois Kimble glass
division has proceeded much faster
than expected. He expresses con-
fidence that the division would be
able ito produce bulbs in the
quantity needed in the very near
future"
Earlier, officials of the Corning
Glass Works at Corning, N. Y. also
said production by that firm would
be stepped up by early fall and
that the tube bottleneck should be
broken.
Television set manufacturers have
been expressing concern over a
shortage of the glass blanks from
which television viewing tubes are
made. The shortage, they said, de-
veloped because demand for sets ex-
panded faster than the glass makers
could step up production.

Boycott Against U. 5.
Fails 10 Keep Syrians
From Hollywood Films

DAMASCUS. Syria, Aug. 3 tCDN
Hollywood films still are playing
to full houses here despite the boy
colt of America in reprisal for the
pro-zionist policy in Palestine.
Movie audiences here are most
demonstrative. Every time a hero
kisses a heroine the largely mascu-
line audience groans with envy. If
villain behaves in a particularly
bestial manner he will not only be
hissed and jeered but sometimes
shot at as well.
Urban Syrians gradually have be-
come accustomed to romances and
bedroom comedies, but the tribes
men who flock into Damascus over
the week end still demand serials
and westerns.
Plenty of Shooting.
There was a time when 1t seemed
that Syrian moviegoers had at last
been disarmed. But the war in
Palestine has mobilized so many ex-
citable young men that shooting of
action films is again being charac-
terized by lot of random shooting
Horse operas are taken so liter
ally by the tribesmen that they can
only with difficulty restrain them
selves from assisting the Lone Ran
ger in his efforts to rid the Texas
countryside of rustlers.
They no longer fire at the screen,
however, because it tends to jam
the sound track. They fire at the
walls and ceilings instead.
Roofs Full of Holes.
The result of such audience par
ticipation is that the roofs OF most
Damascus movie houses are full OF
holes. But, fortunately for the
moviegoer, it seldom rains.
