accomplishment Some hours lost in parlia-
mentary wrangng but that is to be expected of any
international body. The main fact developing from
the session is that the Soviet Union has come back
to Lake Success after seven months boycott, merely
to say loudly. on a world platform what it has been
saying for five weeks with less advantageous sound

The recent actions of the UN Security Council
in support of South Korea have been illegal, accord

fussias main purpose in returning to Lake Success
was simply to have better means OF building up its
Established propaganda line = the notion that the
Soviet Union is for peace, the United States for war
Russia will lose whatever projects she may put
before he UN because hers is minority following.

roads are grabbing the lions share
of the business. This is no acct

It's not that train travel is
cheaper. Railroads give 10 per

often more economical, considering
the meals and Pullman charges

THOUGHTS ON BOARDING

An excuse Cor fancied Justification for hoard
ing in time of war or threatened war is that 1.-THE
price of things will go up. This argument seemingly
is horne out in price increases in number of con-
sumner items.
Has it occurred to anyone however that the
price of these items might not have gone up but for
the hordes of Me First!" people who rushed into
the stores and market places and bought goods fan
in excess of their needs thereby creating the short
ages of supply which usually create an upward spiral
of prices?
Ironically, it often is the rugged individuast'
who practices boarding. We say ironically because
there is no better way of encouraging the govern
ment to invade the private economy of the nation
with another tange of regulations restrictions and
controls

THE GREAT MINDS

1t must be very discouraglng,
particularly to the young mind, to
read the views of the acknowledge
edly great, only to discover, in short
order, that what they said and
wrote is without foundation. The
/ 1allaey- arises from the assumption
! that because a man develops com
! petence in one field, he possesses
knowledge ana wisdom in all fields
Of human activity
For instance. Albert Einstein is
universally accepted IS great
scientist ii feet as a philosopher
and cosmologist. THESE are trem-
endous wofds and his is a colossal
intellect ana personality But in
the field OF politics. his views are
rather The hopeful promptings Of a
poet. As regards Russo-Ameucan
relations. it is provable from Elm
STEMS statements that he has mos
often been not only wrong but mis-
! leading.
Similarly Thomas Mann is ack
nowledged to be a leading novelist
He took refuge IN this country
from his native Germany because
OF his opposition TO Hitler. That
ne never understood the United
states OF the spirit of the Amer
lean people is demonstrable from
his public utteranees.
On his 10Th birthday, Thomas
Mann. seeking in Zurich, said:

statement that every human being

should be moderate Socialist. The
fallacy is that there is no moderate
Socialism or, to use more exact
term, Marxism This is system
of life, operating in the economic,
social, political and intellectual
fields, which leads inevitably to the
breakdown of all restraints upon
government and establishes a des-
potism over the will and life OF
the individual infinitely more COM
plete than Hitler or Mussolini ever
imagined possible.
Furthermore, Mann is naive about
finances. Where is the money to
come from for IAN overall finan
cling of millions of people? Ana
what millions of people?
This country's taxes and national
debt are reaching dangerous dim
ensions and this novelist appar-
entity never looks at page OF
statistics to determine what is
available for helping those who are
weak, backward and incompetent
not always through no fault of
their own.
And here is Frank Lloyd Wright,
one of the worlds greatest archi-
tects. He knows how to put up a
building, but on. June 8, at Spring
Green, Wis, he said:
I'VE have nothing to fear in
abandoning the atom arms race.
Russia wants peace just as much
as we do"
That was not true on June 8,
1850, or on any June since l943
fTeheran). Russia's opposition to
the Baruch plan in the United
Nations, continuous for years; Rus
sia's constant use of the veto to
prevent the agencies of peace from
functioning; Russia's boycott of the
United Nations since January 10;
Russia's conquest of China-all
these and more have established
the fact that Soviet Russia does
not want peace just as much as
we do" Actually, II days after
Mr.. Wright's speech, Soviet Russia
ordered the Korean war to COM
mence.
On May 81 and June l, the
bureau of the permanent commit
tee of the World Peace Congress
met in London This is a war
time propagandistic arm of Soviet
, Russia and is the agency devoted
to the Stockholm appeal Cor PLEDGE
which was designed to create
worldwide antagonism to the Uni
ted States prior to the Korean war.
The Russians were already pre-
pairing for that war then, even
if the American intelligence serv-
| ices failed to discover it.
On May 20, a similar conference
; was held in Chicago, called THE
Mid Century Conference for Peace"
which implored the American peo-
pie to deprive their country of the

F, May and June. A situation of this
magnitude does not develop over

Harvesting Over
In Treasure Stute

Harvesting is finished in the
Treasure state and farmers are
getting ready for winter by re-
pairing fences and hauling feed,
the joint federal agricultural
economics and weather bureaus
have reported.
"Dry warm weather this fall
fastened the digging of sugar
beets," the report stated, and
nearly all of the lbeetS have
been removed from fields"
The bureaus added that "due
to the extensive freeze damage
to the potato crop, farmers are
forced to sort their potatoes
carefully before putting them in
storage.
There has been little mark
citing of hay as most farmers
have an adequate supply. Cattle
are going into the winter in
fine shape. Ranges are in eX-
cellent condition. Most of the
cattle in mountainous areas
have been moved to lower eleva-
ton pastures"

U,N,'S FIFTH YEAR

PABY, you amt polfect, ou'
- you're pretty wonderful
You have much to learn, but
you're learning fast. You look bac
at times but, after all. you're en-
gagged in something more important
than a beauty contest.
You tumble the ball, bunt when
you should slug, forget to touch sec.
ond and try to steal third with the
bases full, but the errors are all
excusable because you are in the
l''epic contest" the world classic"
the toughest and most important
battle in history.
Even on your off days you hold
the worlds brightest promise.
Five years old!
But in you are the %yearningf
of 1900 years, the echo of the
Sermon on the Mount, the pray
ers Of mothers over their sons
down through the centuries.
You're a kid in years, but
through you the world may find
the wisdom of the prophets, the
longing of the patriarchs, the
sagacity of the wise men and
the fortitude of the martyrs.
Yes, babe, you're sneered at
and belittled by the cynics, but
you will live to make them "eat
crow" and to repeat n day
the words "You believe because
you have seen; blessed are those
who believe, yet have not
SEEM"
You haven't been able to end
double talk, give the slicker the
works or eliminate the gas man in
international huddles, but you are
making swell strides in that general
direction.
You still endure bores and long
winded diplomats too patiently, pro-
coed too timidly on occasions and
take too long to reach decisions
now and then, but are entitled to
demand, what do you expect OF
a five-year-old? Miracles?"
Let the critics scott; you have
the prayers of families in every
land on earth. The guidance OF
Providence is asked for you in
straw hut, igloo, cave, dugout,
trench, shanty, bungalow, tenement,
cabin and castle.
At your best you lift u spirits,
stir our hearts, make u blood
tingle and make us want to dance
in the streets, sing in the shops and
give thanks at the nearest altar.
In the moments Of snafu you
make visible the goal posts and
you keep them from being moved
all over the lot.
You've tagged the tyrants, the
dictators, the foul balls, the ag-
gressors and the double-dealers;
and labelled them to a fare-thee-
well.
You're making goose grease, ma
larkey and banana oil scarcer, and
over the seats of the international
delicatessen dealers you have
raised in neon lights, mo matter
how you slice it, it is still balony."
You've got a long way to go and
a lot to do, but you're no front
runner. You've got what it takes.
