TYDINGS ON STAIN

Statesmen often find that then
great ideas blow up in their faces
principally because they speak fol
election purposes without frs
sleeping themselves in the subject.
Senator Willard Tydings knows
better than be says, for. he is,,9
weH-informed senator; therefore, il
can only be assumed that he could
not imagine in June that Stain
would order Communist troops to
march in July He was not alone
in this deficiency of information
Senator Tydings, who has polite
ally involved himself in the white
washing of the State Department
and whose report will go down in
the record of Congressional in
vestigations as the best piece OF
fiction published by the United
States, on June Is was for peace
between the United States and SoV-
let Russia. Who wasn't, then?
The senator from Maryland was
not prepared to invite Stain tc
Washington, knowing full-well THAT
he would not come, having rejected
such a visit during the tough years
of World War II when the United
States was giving Stains country
Sill GOO, 100000. He required Roos-
eVelt, dying man, and Harry
Hopkins, also a dying man, &c
travel half way around the worlo
to meet him at Yalta in the Crimea
No! Senator Tydings would pre-
fer conference.-the the Moscow

that we bought ourselves a fnds1

Taft and AchesOn

There was an amazing story be-
hind Senator Bob Taft's Korean
attack on the State Department,
in which he demanded that Dean
Acheson resign as Secretary of
State.
1t happens that Acheson has
long been a close friend of the
Ohio olationist-despite their div
ergent views on world affairs.
So, sometime ago, when Acheson
learned that Mrs. Taft was in the
hospital, having suffered from a
stroke, he sent her flowers, ac-
companied by cheerful get well''
note. Senator Taft, in turn, was
so pleased by this gesture that he
sat down and wrote Acheson a
letter, telling how pleased Mar
tina" was by his remembrance.
In fact, Taft went to the trouble
of writing the note in longhand,
instead of debating to a secretary
The letter was addressed affec-
tionately Dear Dean" and was
signed Bob"
But one day after Acheson re-
ceived the note, his friend Bob
delivered his Korea speech demand
ing that Acheson resign.

Southern State Department

Some observers were surprised at
the fact that conservative southern
senators like Byrd of Virginia and
George of Georgia, who frequently
vote with the Republicans, went
down the line with the Democrats
against Senator Mccarthy.
Explanation was that, ever since
1888, the State Department has
been run by southerners. And
southern senators who knew Cor
dell Hull of Tennessee, Ed Sttt-
tinius of Virginia, and Jimmy
Byrnes of South Carolina, Just
don't believe the State Department
IS infiltrated with Communists.
Furthermore, of the top exec
utives in the State Department to-
day, with the exception of Acheson,
who is from Connecticut and Mary
land, most are from the south
Here is the roll call of the chief
State Department executives:
OldefSecfetary James Webb
North Carolina.
Deputy Undersecretary John
Peurifoy-South Carolina.
Edward Barrett, Assistant Sec
retary-Alabama
George McGhee, Assistant Sec
retary-Texas.
Dean Rusk, Assistant Secretary
Georgia.
Adrian Fisher, Legal Adviser
Tennessee.
In the old days of Republican
administrations, most State Depart
ment officials hailed from New
York and graduated from Harvard
Now there are only about three

ant Secretary Willard Thorp. Am

Senatorial Privilege

Criticism of Senators rather than
Communists in the State Depart
ment caused the big argument in
side the Senate foreign relations
committee when it considered the
Mccarthy report behind closed
doors.
COP Senators Henry Lodge of
Massachusetts and Bourke Hicken-
looper OF Iowa yelled loudest about
two paragraphs in the report child
ing them for absenteeism from the
subcommittee.
Lodge exploded for almost 10
minutes on this one subject
This is an outrage he shouted
at Senator Willard Tydings, who
drafted the report. Il was legit-
imately absent. It's unheard of
for a senator to be insulted in
this fashion"
oh, quiet down" Tydings finally
shouted back. Il didn't mean to
insult anybody. If you want that
part out, we'll take it out
But Tydings pointedly reminded
the two dissenters that they
couldn't have devoted much time
to the subcommittee, since Lodge
admitted reading only 10 of the 81
State Department files on employ
ees accused by Mccarthy, while
Hickenlooper read only nine.
But the files were inconclusive. .

OF course, this country has been
sitting down and talking to the
other fellow since 1943 when our
representatives and his first met
at Moscow to find a way to under
stand each other, after they had
become allies in World War II.
Perhaps you recall that the gentle
Corden Hull went to Russia for
that purpose.
Subsequently, James Byrnes left
The SSupreme Court of the United
States to- do a. wonderful Job OF
compromise with. Soviet Russia. He
got VIE trimming of his political
life because he Simply could not
discover how to do business With
people who must have it all their
own way. If Senator Tydihgs' Is
seeking worlds to conquer, he might
try to be our regotiator with Stalin9

o;7the senator Suggested on June
49,
Il advocate that the represent
atives of our own government and
the representatives of the Russian
government clearly explore all the
possibilities of achieving a decent
and just understanding between
them, if it is at all in the cards,
and in my opinion, you can't TO
it with much hope of success, BY
long distance sparring."
He ignores the fact that we have
been daily in precisely that kind
of conference with sthe Russians
since the founding of the United
Nations. And fairly top-notch Rus
slams have been at the United
Nations: Molotov, Vishinsky, Gro
myko, Malik and others close to, the
throne OF. the great despot. OF
course, Stain never went to the
United Nations, but then Stain

is in Iran, and to Potsdam which
was at the moment in Russian
possession.
Now, Senator Tydings faces. the

Russia's Far Eastern policy was

Monaghan Socialist Republic and
the sending of L. Karakhan to the
Far East to arrange for a native
revolutionary base in all those
countries. I knew the head of that
army, Marshal Bleucher- Galens,

method was by the use of the blood

Ihe white birch was one OF the
most valuable trees for American
Indians of early times. To this day
1t serves some Of the tribes, but a
few centuries ago it was of far
greater Importance among woodland
Indians of the United States and
Canada.
The chief value of the white
birch lay in its bark. When this
was stripped off, it could be used
in making canoes, and it also served
for lightweight baskets which were
employed to carry berries and other
food. Often 1t was used as roofing
material for wigwans.
The white birch also provided
sweet sap which was turned into
syrup. The wood of the tree was
excellent for building fires, and the
bark made the best of tinder when
fires were being built.
Now and then the Indians used
birchbark as writing paper. No good
system of writing existed among
the woodland tribes, but they did,
at times, employ berry juice to
mark the bark. After white men
came to the continent, the natives
sometimes set up pieces of marked
bark as warnings that strangers
were near. The rude figures of men
which they drew were shown with
hats or caps when they represented
white men.
The birchbark canoe was an
Indian invention. It was a grace
full craft, and was of extreme value.
The Indians knew that the best
time to take off the bark for a canoe
was in the spring or early summer.
During this period, the sap was run
ming well, and the bark would come
of in piece.
A knife or, tomahawk was used
to slit the bark up and down one
side of the tree trunk. With a little
more cutting, at the top and below,
and with tapping on the trunk,
it was simple to obtain a good
piece of bark for a canoe.
The bark supplied the main part
