The Haysi community wants a
primary highway, touching the
Breaks section and linking with
Elkhorn City, KY. That section
would, of course, benefit most.
But the good results would spread
over all the county. Ii such road
were built, a state park would al
most surely be set up in the
Breaks. All the county would
have access to that park. In the
second place, travel bound for
the link between Haysi and Elk
horn City would funnel in going
north and fan out going south,
increasing the traffic counts over
Routes 80, 83, 81 and u. An in
creased traffic count on these
roads would call for improve
ments and would bring more bus
mess all along the line. Every dis
trict, Willis, Sand Lick, Ervinton,
Kennedy and Clintwood, would
share the benefits.
Why don't we look an inch be
You'd our noses and get together?
AS for primary road projects, we
would be wise to forget all else
and pull for that link between
Haysi and the Kentucky line. Just
remember that primary and Sec
ondary ALLEGATIONS are managed
differently. Secondary budgets
are constant in that they
are in effect every year. Primary
ALLEGATIONS seem to depend on
who makes the loudest noise and
brings the most pressure. The
surest way of improving our pri-
mary roads is to get a highway
that will bring in the traffic from
outside our borders. The link
through the Breaks would do ex-
actly that.

This Silly Prejudice

Fifteen men trying to unravel for mil
lions of people abroad one of the worlds
greatest mysteries-what makes Amer
ican democracy tick-came to Washing
ton last Tuesday and on their arrival read
in the daily press of an incident which
was the very antithesis of democracy.
Because two of the actors in scene
portraying the Faith of Our Fathers
were colored, school principal-backed
up by the superintendent of the great
public school system of Washington
banned the showing from the high school
stage.
What can be the effect of this silly
prejudice on the minds of Drs. Yalmin
Of Turkey, Chalapatku Rau of India and
Elias Erkko of Helsinski, where these
same two colored actors were billed last
year?
OF course, these gentlemen are too
aStute to refer to this initial evidence of
anti-democracy while here in America.
But what do you think will tell the
millions of people they represent?
More than any other facet in our COM
munity life, the schools should be the
place where the faith of our fathers in
democracy should be taught.

'One of Those Things

British soldier whose unit was accidentally
bombed and strafed by American planes in Korea
has well summed up the tragedy. cts just one
OF those things" he told an Associated Press
photographer who witnessed the regrettable at
tack. This is something that couldn't be helped.
Up to now the Yank Air Force has given us very
good support"
Accidents of this kind have happened in
other wars and they are apt to happen again,
despite the best precautions. There were
number of such incidents during World War II,
including the shooting down of friendly planes
and the bombardment Of friendly ships. AS a
result special radar equipment was developed to
avert mistakes. This device, known as IFF (iden-
tihcation of friend or foe), enabled ships and
planes to identify themselves to their own combat
forces.
But 1FF is not practicable in ground opera
tions under the circumstances which prevailed
when units of the Argyll and Sutherland High
landers were hit by American bombs and bullets

ury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, gave
him. in the biographer's opinion. 'the
kind of cabinet officer Presidents seek
and do not often find"
The years have served to confirm this
appraisal as Mr.. Vinson moved on to
become Chief Justice.

ceeded Mr.. Byrnes as Secretary of State,
and once more is back in the Govern
ment as Secretary Of Defense, Mr. Dan
iels writes:
Truman had. when he appointed him
and afterwards as we'll, more confidence
in Marshall than in anybody in the Gov
ernment and probably anybody in the
world"
All of the presidential advisers did not
share this feeling, but it was on the
advice of Secretary Marshall that Pres
ident Truman abandoned his plan to
send Justice Vinson to Moscow on
peace mission, in 1948.
So much has been written of the
Truman story that Mr.. Daniels. Of neces-
sity, has covered lot Of familiar ground.
But as friendly biographer, he seeks
plainly to dissipate any idea that the
one time Missouri farmboy had no more
to recommend him for political career
than a failure in business and the back
ing of a corrupt machine.
True, that celebrated haberdashery
was expiring in the depression of the
early 20s, when the offer of support for
a Jackson County judgeship (commis
sioner) came from Mike Pendergast, not
so-well-known brother of Tom, and
father of James M. Pendergast, Tru-
man war buddy. Mr.. Truman needed a

the praise of the opposition.

Taegu Through some miscalculation not yet
explained, our planes opened fire on the wrong
target There we're about 40 casualties among
the Britishers.
With the situation on the ground changing
so rapidly, it is surprising that there have not
been more cases of mistaken identity. Although
the attack on the British troops was lone of
those things" that may be expected to happen
in the confusion of fluid warfare, 1t is nonethe-
less deplorable. 1t was hardly necessary for us
to assure the British government of our sorrow
and sympathy. The understanding attitude of
the British-from the man in the ranks to
Prime Minister Attlee-should help to ease the
sorrow of the pilots who were at fault.

you were a year old, I promised you
land. plenty of land where you could
roam about and collect treasures that
money could never buy. I did not fence
that land of yours, my son, and all could
go and come as they pleased. But one
rule must always endure-nothing should
ever be destroyed. And to this very
day, my boy, that rule has been sacredly
respected. Upon that land of yours. the

Dear Sir:
"Your column in The Star has over
the years developed in the hearts and
minds of countless readers a spirit of
tolerance, nay, of compassion, for our
fellow creatures. the denizens OF our
fields and forests, and our streets, the
so-called lower order of animals.
"Most of us are inherently humane
and recognize, when we think about it,
that we have an obligation to see that
these creatures are not cruelty used or
abused. Too often, however, our quest
for dollars and the wherewithal to live
obscures and smotherS our natural COM
passion and humane instincts where
these charges of man are concerned.
"As you have so often pointed out,
cruelty is so unnecessary particularly
to those inferior to man. Therefore,
I am taking the liberty Of inclosing an
item titled "A Monument to My Son.

the Defenders of Furbearers. which

Letter Campaign

Rear Admiral Elery W. Stone has agreed to
serve as leader of drive to counteract Soviet
propaganda through letters from Americans of
recent European ancestry to their relatives and
friends In Europe The Common Council for
American Unity, established IS years ago. is the
sponsoring organization. 1t is working through
2l9 foreign language newspapers in the United
States Ofdcials of the State Department approve
the campaign. It's central idea was tried out
with success in connection with the italian cleo
tions of 1948.
But the personal exchange of news and opin-
ion between the New World and the Old dates
back much farther than that. Christopher Co.
lumbus began 1t when he took pen in hand to tell
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella about his
discoveries in the Caribbean area in 1892 and i'm
mediately thereafter. Most of the great explorers
followed his example-Captain John Smith and
Sir Walter Raleigh among the number. Indeed,
such correspondence was one of the principal
phenomena of what historians call "the expan-
sion of Europe" Benjamin Franklin, George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson were masters
of the epistolary art, and hundreds of their
letters to individuals abroad still exist. Later,
Longfelow, Hawthorne, Emerson, Thomas Car
lyle, Walt Whitman, John Ruskin, Henry James,
Bayard Taylor and many other professional
authors devoted uncounted hours of their pre-
cious time to transatlantic communing on paper
Their impressions of the age to which they
belonged often are more definitely expressed in
informal writing than in their books.
like observation applies to the oldest
letters In the world-the cuneiform relics of
Babylon and the papyrus of ancient Egypt.
Something deeply magical characterizes all the
inventions whereby men speak their thoughts
in calligraphic symbols. When the celebrated
Scottish traveller, Mungo Park, was seeking the
Niger in the deserts and jungles of Africa, he
learned by personal experience the power of
even a few words scribbled on scraps of paper.
The natives regarded them as sacred amulets.
Possessing them, the poor savages believed that
they had proof of the goodwill of wizard.
The campaign which Admiral Stone is to
head certainly has sufficient psychological back
ground. It carries forward custom centuries
old and seeks purpose intimately identified
with the survival OF democratic civilization. If
those who participate in the drive will write
the constructive truth about America to recep-
tive relatives and friends in Europe, they will
serve the overall cause of freedom. Readers
interested to help may address the Common
Council for American Unity in care of the Willkie
Memorial, 20 West 40th street. New York City.
