Stewardship

UCTEWARDSHIP" Is .he word
~ which recognizes Gods right
In our lives; Il is the word which
describes the principle Of life for
those who honor God as source Of
all they are and have. When the
proverb-writcr says. Honor God
with thy substance" he has Just
said. 'in all thy ways acknowledge
him" No man is likely to do what
Is right with his money who habitu.
ally does wrong with his life. No
man Is going TO admit his partner
ship with God I'm money matters
who does not confess God to be the
Lord Of oil his life.
New there are two principles
brought out In our Scripture
about stewardship Of money In
particular. One Is this: God
looks on what we have, not on
what we haven't. A widow who
gives one tiny coin. N that II
al she has. IL more generous
than a millionaire who has
jus, given half q million to
Charity. Second IL the princL
pie Of willingness. The Lord
loves q cheerful giver. Sour Civ
ers, regretful givcrs, stingy Civ
ers, no. But the Lord does love
the man who gives with q smile.

for you did not have this money

time, which in turn spells life.
Look at II In another way:
You put out certain amount of
energy for this bit of money.
You plowed field or you raised
some chickens or you laid some
pipe or you taught some chill
drcn or you sold bill of goods.
Whatever you did to earn the
money, II tired you bit. You
put out the work, and the
money came back TO YOU.

this crisis we. the people, are able
to find leadership in our Congress,
the bulwark of our democracy and
our liberties. For our essential
liberties and our democratic proc
esses are, themselves, gravely en-
dangered by the creeping totaI-
tarianism that the secrecy neces-
sarily surrounding the bombs
A and H-already has imposed
over a wide area of our Govern
ment, notably the conduct of our
foreign policy, as was pointed out
here recently.
It Is good, again, that this
danger has been explicitly detailed
by Senator Mcmahon who, as
chairman of the Joint Congress
ional Atomic Energy Committee,
knew whereof he spoke when he
pointed to "the restrictions on
freedom already brought about
by the atomic bomb and it's pres
sures upon us to accept loyalty
espionage counter-meas-
ures. and widening areas OF Off
cial secrecy" He literally lives
with the atom and hydrogen
bombs.
Encouraged BY Military.
Those pressures he cited are
naturally by the mil
itary influences which are becom-
ing more and more powerful in
our Government and which, of
themselves, are strengthened by
emphasis on the bombs and other
ornaments. This saps away the
power of the people to act for
themselves, as it does Of Congress,
its representatives and, If we re-
sign ourselves to the arms race,
acquiescing in the progress from
bomb to bigger bomb, it can only
end in war, as it always has, as
Senator Mcmahon said, through

Jane," will be in a glass case along
with the Atlantan's famed tour
nament concentration.
Some Other Items.
Therell be Walter Hagen's
driver and bottle opener, Harry
Vardon's cap and moustache cup,
Francis Ouimet's spectacles and
Boston accent, the shoes Sam
Snead wore when he broke away
from the hills of West Virginia,
Lawson Little's napkin ring, and
the knickers Gene Sarazen was
wearing when he scored his famed
double eagle at Augusta.
Far be it from me (well, not too
far) to disagree with the U.S.G.A.,
but things like those mentioned
above are not what should be
placed in the museum. The
mighty players are not the ones
who made golf the great sport
it is, or who keep it fiourishing
today. The backbone Of golf is the
celebrated duffer-the fellow who
prays at night that some day he
will break 100 or 90, and whose
form is a cross between an epilep-
tic fit and chopping wood.
Iwish the U.S.G.A. would let me
select the things to 60 into the
museum.
My first choice would be a pic
ture, life size, of Westbrook
Pegler in action on a golf course.
Just where on a golf course
wouldn't matter; it could be on
a tee, on the fairway, or in a
trap. I haven't seen Mr.. Pegler
play for quite few years, but
the memory Of hts technique is
as vivid as if it had been etched
on my mind with a crowbar.
Hard at Work in Trap.
The picture of him hard at
work in a trap will remain with
me long after the picture of all
the great players I have seen
has faded away. Mr.. Pegler, as
you perhaps know, is the only
golfer who never had to pay a
caddy. The National Geographic
Society always provided him with
an archeologist to carry his bags,
because 1t was q rare round on
which Mr.. Pegler didn't unearth

Climate of Fear
Time Advantage In Atomic Weapons
Proves Illusion With Arrest of Fuchs

! Washington first knew Brien
Mcmahon as one of the many
smart, attractive young New Deal
lawyers. He eventually became
head of the criminal division Of
the Department of Justice and
after fiourishing tour in private
practice returned here in 1910 a
United States Senator.
One of the first to grasp the
atomic story, Senator Mcmahon
led the fight for civilian control
of atomic energy and the legisla-
ton creating the Atomic Energy
Commission bears his name.
The Senator is determined now
to legislate for the next genera
ton. A professional opinion OF
the latent force of his appeal was
not long In coming. Mrs. India
Edwards Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, who has had
some success in interesting
women in Government, made an
immediate visit to him to express
her faith in his approach.
It will not be easy. The Senate
was not full for the Mcmahon
speech: Chairman Tydings of
Armed Services lectured it re-
peatedly last week for its cavalier
attitudes on defense problems.
The defeatist air in some quarters
was expressed by one wit at a
brilliant dance for the Vice Presi-
dent. "Is everybody here?" he
was asked. Everybody but Nero"
was the retort.
But Senator Mcmahon still in
tends to seek the right entries
for what he has called "the
ledger of life and DEATH"
Evening star., 1950-02-06
Bomb Myth
Mcmahon Expresses Voice of People
In His Plea to Halt Mad Arms Race

5000 years of recorded history. 1t
is a vicious circle.
It is the purpose here to empha-
size and commend the Connecticut
Senator's penetrating analysis Of
the danger to our liberties, which
cannot be stressed enough, and
which we are likely to overlook
until too late, rather than the
program for an international five
year, fifty billion dollar invest
ment fund which has been pub
lished widely in detail and nat
urally will become the subject
of debate and controversy.
There can be no debate about
his diagnosis Of the threat to our
democracy in a continued arms
race.
How is it possible" he asked.
"for free institutions to flourish
or even to maintain themselves
in a situation where defenses. civil
and military, must be ceaselessly
poised to meet an attack that
might incinerate fifty million
Americans-not in the space Of
an evening, but in the space of
minutes?"
Poison of Sustained Fear.
He stressed also how sustained
fear strangles free enterprise and
poisons it, constructing imagina-
tion, paralyzing initiative. and
even affecting personal morality.
ITO stay alive" he said." we will
find ourselves more and more
compelled to initiate the totali-
tartan rival"
Nothing truer has been said.
It explodes the myth to which
President Truman and others in
high place cling that the bombs
are, in some way, preserving de-
mocracy. Democracy can't sur
vive in the atmosphere that they
create.
The resignation with which
Congress received the Presidents
publicly announced decision to
make, the hydrogen bomb was de-
plored here previously. That still
exists, though Senator Mcmahon
has seemingly. shaken it somewhat
to stir up ferment, as did Senator
vandenberg. Republican, Of Mich
igan, less dramatically. They
both deserve high praise.
This Is test for the American
people and for It's Congress. Not
only is the peace of the world in
volved, but our own basic liberties
and our free institutions, includ-
ing Congress. itself, which would
be lost forever in an atomic war
and, If lost to us, the last bull
wark, could be lost also to the
world.

ter with the other foreign min
listers. All he did was try to
wreck the plan. He walked out on
his colleagues and coerced the
European satellites to turn their
backs on the plan.
Since then Russia has steadily
fought the European Recovery
program through her minions ir
Western Europe. Consequently II
should be obvious that if the
Kremlin refused to join the rest
of the world in an effort for eco
nonic reconstruction at a time
when it was still on speaking
terms" with the Western dem
ocracies, the chances of accepting
economic benefits now are non
existent.
Propaganda For Reds.
All the Mcmahon proposal die
was give Moscow more propa-
ganda material to shoot at us. al
leging that decadent American
capitalism is attempting te
"bribe" the Soviet.
President Truman's announce
ment of construction of the H.
bomb was prompted. in part. by
the fact that our intelligence
services had reported increased
Soviet activities in Europe and
Asia. Under these conditions IL
was deemed advisable to tell the
Russians that we are proceeding
Immediately with construction OF
the new weapon. 1t was warning
to the Kremlin gang that we are
determined to fight back.
Meanwhile 1t is probable thai
the future will see future dis
closures of past spying activities
The FBI files are said to be burst
ing with information about the
work of Soviet agents in the
United States. All of it has been
available to the executive branch
of the Government for a long
time. But it was considered nee
essary to keep it away from the
public, and from Congress. tc
avoid further damage to our re-
lations with the USSR."
The recent campaign to remove
j. Edgar Hoover as FBI chief was
a last effort to stifie revelations
which are bound to affect the
country's thinking about the ac-
tivities Of persons who masquer-
ade under the label of liberals.
The campaign against Mr.
Hoover was ill-timed. Britain.
Scotland Yard happened to have
completed it's investigation of DR.
Fuchs at the time when the sup.
porters of these liberals launched
their offensive against the FB!
and its chief.
The chances that all the con.
spirators against the country's Sc
curity now will be brought init

creased. Some will call "spy

atty checks. 1t affords the excuse
for renewed political attacks from
the atomic isolationists. Worst OF
all, it creates the climate Of fear
in which people turn away from
democratic discussion Of their
problems.
The Chairman of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy is
far too knowledgeable in the fields
of both atomic energy and politics
not to give it his best attention.
Reverse Temporary.
But the reverse to his high
peace purposes is only temporary.
Senator Mcmahon is far too much
in earnest about the central prob
lem of the age to take his hand
from the plow. In his deeply NOV
ing address to the Senate, he twice
quoted what he called Bernard M.
Baruch's immortal words" In in
PRODUCING the American plan for
international control of atomic
energy:
1--WE are here to make choice
between the quick and the dead.
Behind the black portent OF
the new atomic age lies hope
which seized upon with faith can
work our salvation. If we fail,
then we have damned every man
to be the slave of fear. Let us
not deceive ourselves: We must
elect world peace or world de-
struction."
The Senate chamber was very
still as he concluded:
II believe that every morning
each member of the Senate and
House, each high official of the
Government, should glance at the
sun and reflect that what he sees
there, threatens to be re-created
on this earth, in our own cities
This is the time for soul-search-
ing, for worldwide debate, for
that moral crusade for peace
which alone can save U.S."
From Practical Politician.
The United States Senate con-
tains some exceptionally iterate
men, including a Rhodes scholar
and an overseer of Harvard Uni
versity. 1t is interesting that this
firm belief that, If men will 1t
enough, some political means can
be devised to save the world from
self destruction, comes from one
Of its practical politicians.
