An American Mandarin


TN 1859 TAPPING rebels had almost
overthrown the ,Manchu dynasty
in China. Fifteen of the eighteen
provinces had been captured when
Frederick T. Ward, 28-year-old
sailor from Salem, Mass, quit his
ship and offered to put down the
revolution-if they would pay him
$4,000 for each city recaptured.
The rebels were knocking at the
gates of Shanghai when the Manchu
leaders agreed to young Wards
price and allowed him to train his
own army. He recruited his men
from among the human derelicts
around the wharves.
Then, at the head of 500 men, and
with a pistol in each hand, he or
dered an attack on Sungkiang, held
by 5000 rebels. His men fought
hand to hand on the top of the city
wall and held it by tossing over the
bodies of TAPPING soldiers. In "a
hours Manchu re-enforcements ar
rived. When the battle was over,
WaTu Hdu only IAo iliei iCit anu Aoo
of them were wounded. But he had
earned his first $4,000 and wide
reputation as military leader.
Ward was made a mandarin and
his fame spread throughout the en-
pire. Soon he was able to increase
his .Well-trained army to 5000 men,
besides piling up huge fortune.
He had been wounded FIVE times,
but in September, 1862, in battle
at Tseki, he was hit for the sixth
time and killed. The Chinese
mourned him as a national hero and
buried him in the Temple of Confu-
cius at Sungkiang.

items. At the top of their want list today, was puppies. They.v advertised pooches on their sales list, but tonight they still hadn't a dog to their names. Anyone with a pup he doesn't want is just the man MT. Hurley is hunting today.
 A Kiwanis club committee member will be stationed at the north entrance of the Palmer Gymnasium, beginning at 10 am. tomorrow. Contributions can be left with him there throughout the day. Or if any Valley resi- dent has an article he'd like to give to the benefit auction, which is too large to bring in, a call to MT. Hurley, Joe Hudock or Bill Rempel will bring Kiwanis truck to his place.
 And MT. Hurley doesn't want any Valley resident to feel that a contribution is all Kiwanis asks of them for tomorrow. Everyone is invited to come to the auction. Kiwanians promise fun, enter tainment, refreshments and un- limited opportunities to spend money.
 All proceeds will be turned over to the Palmer Library, for use as needed.
Valley frontiersman., 1950-08-11

Valley folk either are extreme ly thrifty or are pretty careless with this worlds material posses sions, and Palmer KiWanians can't decide which is the case. Kiwanis Club members had thought that tomorrow nights library benefit auction would be hailed by everyone, as an oppor- tunity to clear an accumulation of years from basements and at tics.
 Much to Kiwanians' surprise, according to head man James Hurley, Valley folk either don't have any white elephants, or they're keeping them for some possible use some possible rainy day.
 At any event, club members still haven't all the contributions they would like for tomorrow evenings auction. At press-time, MT. Hurley and his crewmen were desperately searching for more

This is the second rape assault case against children to come be- fore the Palmer court in the past two weeks.
 The alleged assault occurred at Drift Inn at 1:30 Tuesday after noon. Hall left the Inn before Mrs. Saxton received the com- plaint, but an aerial and highway dragnet of searchers resulted in his capture within three hours. The accused man was testifying

Soviet WaIkout

1t has been evident for a long
time that Russia wants to elimi-
nate China's Nationalist govern
ment, both from the Chinese and
international scenes, and is sparing
no effort to achieve that end.
IN ADDITION to the military
pressure exerted by the Chinese
Communists, the Soviets had turned
on the heat in the United Nations
in a continuing attempt to get the
Nationalist delegation discredited
in the security council.
Latest development along those
lines came when Russia's Jacob
Malik wrathfully stomped out of a
security council meeting because
the other delegates would not kick
out the Nationalist representation.
And, said Malik, he would not
return to the council as long as
the Nationalist sat at the table.
Meetings with them present would
be parody, he asserted. And the
chief Nationalist delegate, T. F.
Tsiang, who was presiding as JAN
uary chairman over the first coun-
Gil meeting this year, represents
nobody" Malik concluded.

Seed Shortage Seen

The department of agriculture is
deeply concerned over the fact that
up to 100 million acres of land may
60 seedless as result of COM
bination shortage of about 446 mill
lion pounds of grass and legume
seeds and the new decrease in
acreage allotments of basic crops.
In other words, some 80 million
acres will be released from the pro-
duction of wheat, cotton, tobacco,
potatoes, rice and other allotment
crops in order to prevent surplus
in those crops and the estimate for
needs of grass seeds stands at
about 756 million pounds whereas
the production this year amounted
to only 80 million pounds. Whether
these acres will stand idle subject
to weeds or erosion, depends upon
whether or not the farmers will
plant more acres this year to La
dino clover, bronze, sweet clover,
alfalfa or other legumes.

Would Widen Security

One of the Unjust" bills insofar
as the administration is concerned
and likely campaign issue is the
bill to extend social security to the
tune of about II million additional
persons and to increase its bene-
fits. This measure CHR $1,000 al
ready has passed the house and
carries increased payroll dcduc-
tons to be borne by employers and
employee alike. It would up the
average payment from about S26
per month to about $44.
Another on the administra-
ton time table Is the aid to
education bill which passed the
senate last session carrying an
appropriation of about 300 mill
lion and which became all
snarled up in a religious con-
troversy In a house committee.
It will be remembered that the
senate in the Both congress passed
a similar bill introduced by Senator
Taft, and which was never reported
out Of a house committee. It seems
almost certain that some kind Of
education bill will pass this session.

FEDERAL OUTLAY:
COP Shurpens Knife

Even as President Truman was
calling for a 42-billion-plus federal
budget for the coming fiscal year,
Republican members of senate and
house were sharpening pairing
knives in an effort to slash some of
the proposed expenditures. Many
Democrats, too, expressed misgiv-
lngs over the prospect of another
five billion red ink" or deficit,
spending.
COP HOUSE LEADER Martin
served notice that the "Republi-
cans in congress have no intention
of accepting this budget and will
work night and day, if necessary,
to bring it.within the bounds of the
capacity of the people to pay"
Similarly, the COP senate lead
er, Wherry of Nebraska, termed
the budget message purely politi-
CALI which "sugar-coated" the red
ink implications.
Representative Taber (R., N. W
was the most violent in his attack
on the budget proposals. 1--WE can
not maintain our liberties" he
charged, ''if we turn this money
over to the President and the So
cialist schemers who surround him."
Taber said he intended to battle
for balanced budget.
THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY
that the President might be in
trouble on his budget, because ever
since the congress convened men,
bers have been talking of economy

BIG STICK:
Union MonopoIies

Virtually everyone from busboy
to bureaucrat probably has, at one
time or another, discussed the
question of whether the tactics
used by some of the larger unions
particularly John L. Lewis
United Mine Workers-in securing
benefits for their members do not
constitute monopoly in restraint
of trade.
ON CAPITOL HILL that issue
had been presented more forceful-
ly than ever before when 10 SEN
ators-seven Democrats and three
Republicans-sent to the senate
judiciary committee a report stat
ing that bill forbidding labor to
menopolize control of industry
would end the ''usurpation and
abuse Of power" such as currently
is being demonstrated by Lewis
three-day work week in the soft
coal mines
The 10 senators were members
of the senate banking committee,
which had been investigating the
problem of the miners short work
week but which had no power to
take legislative action in that eco
nomic area.
THE REPORT pointed out that
IF this usurpation and abuse of
power to control production and
price is tolerated by the congress,
its unbridled use will spread from
union to union, from industry to
industry, and the congress will
never again regain its own narrow
ly circumscribed power to control
the economy of the nation con-
sistently with the Constitution of
the United States"

ELECTION:
Brituin's Choice

In a little less than a month
Britain's voting populace will
make an elective decision on the
issue of whether to continue with
socialism, state planning and ma
tionalization of industry under
the present Labor government or
to return to free enterprise with
Winston Churchill's Conservative
party.
In setting February % as the
date for the general election, Prime
Minister Clement Attlee must have
been acutely aware that this will
be far and away the most bitterly
contested and momentous election
in modern British history.
Britain's 80 million voters will
elect new house of commons,
with the party seating the majority
of candidates getting the right to
form the government.
Speculation was high as to
whether defeats within the past
two months by the Labor parties
in both Australia and New Zealand
could be taken as a straw in the
wind, insofar as the outcome in
England is concerned. Most in
formed opinion had it that it would
be dangerous to predict downfall
of Atlee's government on the
basis of the down under" cleo
tons.
Chief reason for this thinking
was that the Labor party very
recently had been able to show
signs of substantial gains in Brit
aims fight to overcome poverty.

U.S.. BUDGET:
No Bulunce

Mr.. Humans federal budget for
the fiscal year starting July l was
not surprising. 1t was unbalanced,
calling for the government to live
more than five billion dollars
beyond its income during the year
If congress doesn't pare the fig
ures, or give the President the
. moderate" tax hikes he has pro-
posed.
THE OVERALL BUDGET figure
was AZ billion, 439 thousand dollars,
but Mr.. Truman declared the pro-
posed spending vital to our secur-
ity and to the welfare of our
people,"
AS was to be expected, Mr.. Tru-
man insisted the budget was one of
soundest prudence and restraint.
He argued that it was a financial
expression the steps the govern
ment ought to take now "to build
toward economic growth and the
expansion of human freedom in
our own country and in the
world"
National defense continued to be
the biggest expense in the budget,
although expansively covered in
that is the money being spent in
an effort to insure Europe against
any further spread of communism.
An ironical twist was the fact
that while the U. S. is pouring
money into Great Britain as a part
of that general effort, the British
turn right around and give aid and
comfort to communism by formal
ly recognizing the Communists.
AS FOR TAX INCREASES, the
President was silent on specific
recommendations. He did, how
ever, indicate that he would like an
earlier date for imposition of an
increase in social security taxes
from one and one-half per cent to
two per cent on employers and
employees. The President apparent
ly wanted that extra money to aid
health-insurance plan, which
congress seems to have little in
tention of approving.
