human life and might endure
far more destruction than a west
ern city.dwelling nation. If they
did quit, would hatreds be built
up that would cost more Ameri-
can lives later?
In that connection, advocates of
bombing can argue that Korea is
only a beginning, and that the
sooner drastic measures are taken
against aggression the fewer lives
will be lost. They expect Russia
to push one satellite after another
against the free peoples without
itself entering hostilities. As
Korea has shown, the United
States and its allies are ill-pre-
pared to stop the satellites-un-
less the A-bomb will do it. This
school of thought would add to a
Korean ultimatum a warning to
Bulgaria and Hungary that any
aggression on Yugoslavia would
bring an atomic answer.
How would ussia react?
Would a world war be Immediate
ly precipitated? Some observers
believe the Kremlin would have
difficulty in getting the Russian
people to fight unless they saw
themselves visibly attacked. That
is why they would use the bomb
on satellites rather than on Russ
ians. But no one knows how far
the Politburo could drive or hood
wink the people. Yet this is a key
factor in determining whether
lives would be saved by using the
bomb in Korea.
A vital consideration won d
be the effect on opinion in the
rest Of the world. Would Ameri-
cas- friends and the neutral"
peoples be encouraged by t h S
evidence of power to resist ag-
erosion? Or would they regard
it with aversion and fear? These
questions could best be answered
by putting the issue into the
United Nations. Use of the bomb

USING THE DoMs

An ugly subject demands at
tention.
In Congress two proposals have
been put forward for using the
A-bomb in Korea. Representa-
tive Bensten recommended send
ing the North Koreans an ulti-
matum, giving them a week to
withdraw or to evacuate cities
that would be bombed. Senator
Brewster urged that General
Macarthur be authorized to use
the bomb in Korea at his discre-
ton.
AS between these two courses
we should certainly prefer th e
former. A warning which was
known to have reached the Korean
people would be a minimum con-
diton for any use Of this horror.
Moreover, this is not a decision
to be left to the discretion of any
field commander. Use of t h e
bomb is a matter of highest ma
tional policy, involving not merely
h e consciences of Americans
but the opinions of mankind and
the potentialities of world war.
Mr.. Brewster said a t o m i c
bombs were intended to save
American lives. Would their use
in Korea do that?
If atomic bombing stopped or
shortened the war in Korea, its
use would reduce the loss of men
in the immediate fighting there.
But can we be sure of the effects

Der that during the past four
wears of the cold war we have
individually and collectively dug
into our earnings and savings to
the tune of so billion dollars for
national defense. Where has the
money gone?
Then there is the little matter
of Secretary of Defense Louis
Johnson telling us only few
weeks ago that the nations de-
fense was stronger then than at
any time since the end of World
War II. Our experience in Ko-
rea certainly doesn't confirm
that statement. Now some of the
country's top military brass are
beginning to tell US how Woe
fully weak our defense machin-
cry is. Can it be that johnson
doesn't know? If so, why is his
desk at the Pentagon?
It has also begun to dawn up
on President Truman and our
national administration that this
war in Korea may be more than
just IA local skirmish-that we
may actually be at war with
Russia. Although things seem
quite calm on the surface IN
Washington, we are nevertheless
aware of considerable scurrying
beneath that calm surface. The
President is casually" mention
ing some wartime controls he
would like to have, and Congress
seems willing to grant him ev-

Time was, is past we cannot it recall
Time is, we have, improved the portion small
Time future is not and may never be
Time present is the only time for you and me.
Yet can you hear the wings of Time
AS he speeds upon his flight
While we gather here in JOY sublime
To have sweet fellowship tonight.
Four years have passed into Eternity
and have been spent
Since the coming of the HoWlands,
Sharon and Miss Kate
The bells of happiness which chimed
the blessed. event
Are soon to toll the parting of ways
To another field of labor as we wait
Life has been full of faith and works
But the time that swallows up their echoes,
large and small
Glides by soundless as a shadow
And all we have left is memories to recall
Within these four years of loving service,
varied events have occurred
The smiles of friends have beamed upon us
Sickness sorrow, even death, has caused eyes
To be sad and slightly blurred
Perhaps some frowns of dissatisfaction
have fallen trail
And caused our hearts to pray and recolect
But in all these changes, we have taken part
And how brief the time seems in retrospect.
Our hearts shrink back from trials
which the future may disclose
Yet we never have sorrows but the
dear Lord chose.
So may we press back the tears
With the whispered words He knows"
Yes, we have been four years with you and so
We've done best each day we know
We wish to stand after set of Sun
And thank you sincerely for what you've done.
We want you to know on this last day
The good you've done outweighs its pay
And as we part for change of labor
May be we each to the other-a good neighbor.
May God bless you all the days
through to the better land
And when some day. we all meet again
We pray that shall grasp in JOY
each beckoning hand.

Another Dividend
On GI Insurance

Brig. Gen. Carl R. Gray, head
of the Veterans Administration,
said today that veterans can ex-
pect another dividend on their
CT insurance next year, but that
the payment will be smaller
than last year.
Gen. Gray said the dividends
will average about $25 or $50
compared to the average of SITS
last year. They will be made for
the year 1949 only.
Only 100000 policies are now
in effect, Gen. Gray said. Some
22,000,000 service men had SUBJ
scribed to the war risk insurance
Gen. Gray also said men 60

only essential for our national
defense, but the very foundations
upon which the future industrial
development in the 18th district
must rest. The Dillon Dam will
be an earthen dam which would
require the least amount of steel
and other critical materials. It is
also under construction, and a
stoppage of work will mean the
washing away of much that has
been done, adding considerably
to the cost of the project. This
was clearly demonstrated when
work was stopped some years
ago. These and other facts / have
pointed out to the engineers and
| hope they will be sufficient that
the project can be moved for
ward speedily.
The bill also contained $420,000
for flood wall in Roseville, a
project that I was able to get
authorized by congress in 1888.
For several years the village of
Roseville has had its local con-
tribution for this project avail
able. This is the first time funds
for construction have ever passed
either house. When the bill orig
inally passed the house, the bud
get bureau did not recommend
funds for the project. When the
flood came in June, | drew an
amendment, after C on t err N G
with the army engineers. This
amendment was offered in the
senate by Senator Taft. Since it
was not included in the house
bill, it had to go to a conference
of nine house members and a
number of senator's. | took pic
lures of the flood personally to
each of the house conferees.
When they reached consideration
of the Roseville project in con-
ference, everyone of the nine
house members voted to accept
tine Roseville project. This re-
commendation was later accepted
by the house and the money is
now available. There is great
doubt as to whether it can be
spent this year because of a pro-
vision that only those projects
necessary for national defense
can be spent this year because
of a provision that only those
projects necessary for nationa
defense can be built during the
present emergency in Korea. L
events there should take a salts
factory turn before next Junl

Yes, we do expect to pay high
er taxes under circumstances
leading up to and during a ma
tional emergency. We are will
ing to tighten our belts, to get
along with less-a lot leSs-be-
cause we know it means moro
arms, better equipment and mora
of chance for the lives of our
boys who must bear the brunt
of the sacrifices.
But this is one time when av-
erage Joe Doakes is going to
have an extra string to his purse
emergency or no emergency, and
he is beginning to voice his SEN
timents about that string in no
uncertain terms. He wants the
government to start economizinp
and to quit fooling around with
all sorts of costly socialistic and
half-communistic experiments.
When your own family is in
need, you don't take the bread
away from them and give it to
some other family. In times of
emergency everyone is expected
to stand on his own feet and not
lean on the other fellow. That
goes for the farmer, for labor
and industry, and for every
agency, pressure group and
gimme" agency in the land. No
man can fight his best and give
his utmost to a given task if at
the same time he has to tote an
other fellow on his back.
One of the primary reasons
why this country has grown to
wealth and greatness is that here
every man was expected to stand
on his own two feet and battle
it out against fate and circum-
stances. BY doing that we grew
strong and virile-and rich
enough to take fairly good care
of the fellow who fell by the
wayside thru no fault of his own.
But of late years some scound-
rels, aided by misguided starry
eyed, do-good dreamers, have
planted the seed of inferiority
deep in our minds, and so firm
ly has it become imbedded that
we are losing confidence in our
selves and in our ability to do
for ourselves. 1t seems, in near
ly every undertaking, we must
have help. Without shame we
are begging at the public trough.
We want to ride on the other
fellows back. But the time is
rapidly approaching when there
won't be enough back to ride on
and we are fast forgetting how
to walk by ourselves.
| However, there is one encour-
aging sign on the horizon. Grad
ually the man on the street and
in the field is waking up. He is
recognizing the seeds of disinte-
grafton for what they are
weeds-and that they must be
rooted out.
1t may take something like a
war with Russia to wake us up
and once more reveal to us the
JOY of walking as free men in
land of freedom, where each has
the right to make his own op-
portunities.
If that's the case, LET'S GET
! READYt
