IL COP. Candidates HousehoIders Urged
In County Unopposed To Store Fuel Oil

Here's something you can buy
as much of as you can store and
no one will call you a hoarder.
It's fuel oil.
The National Petroleum Coan-
Gil said today there should be
plenty of fuel oil in the coming
winter. James v. Brown. Sec
retary-treasurer Of the council,
said, however, that two mild win
ters IN succession may lead users
and dealers to hesitate to store
adequate amounts.
He pointed out that, the more
fuel the householder stores, the
greater the backlog the dealer
can. maintain.
Last year at this time, stocks Of
light fuel oil on hand were 1T
times the daily consumption. Now
they are "a times the daily con-
sumption.
Mr.. Brown saw no present pros
pect of Air Force demand for
aviation gasoline cutting in on
the supply of gasoline for the mo-
torist. even though the demand is
higher than ever. Gasoline stocks,
being added steadily now amount
to 81 times the daily consumption.
This is about the same as a year
ago when there was a 40-day
supply on hand.
At the start Of World War II
we were producing petroleum at
the rate Of about 4 million bar
rels a day; now it is at the rate
of about 6 million barrels.

Korean War
Terrible
BY James B. LaFourche

NEW ORLEANS, La. (ANP)-
Gen. Sherman isn't the only one
who said "War is hell" an inter-
view with Sgt. Walter Gaines, SO,
Of the oath Infantry regiment,
25th Division in Korea thinks in
the same terms.
Sgt. Gaines, formerly Of the
356th Infantry regiment, World
War III, a native of Woodville,
Miss, jointed the armed forces
in 1871, and saw action in the
Mediterranean theatre of war. He
was discharged in 1915 and re-
enlisted at Fort McClelland, Ala.
Before the Korean outbreak,
the soldier of fortune was in ia
pan, stationed at Camp Guffe. At
ter the Reds got things going,
Gaines was shipped from Japan
to Korea on July 21, arriving
there on July 81, and went into
action on July 16. He was brigad-
ed with the third battalion.
Losing no time, preparations
were made for the front. His
company was sandwiched between
two white units, and were at
tackled that afternoon. Trudging
the steep mountains was no easy
task, said Gaines, and the heavy
packs had to be discarded. Aside
from his rifle, each man carried
) 80 clips of ammunition, eight bull
lets to the clip. However, before
nearing the summit of the mount
ain many OF the clips mad TO pc
thrown away because of their
weight, he related.
Ordered to take the mountain
top was Co. 1, Gaines outfit,
consisting of about 100 men. Their
first crucial test under fire was
to rescue a white unit which had
been almost wiped out.

Mexican Flags Going Home

President Truman has signed joint resolu-
ton of the Senate and the House of Represen-
tatives authorizing the return to Mexico of 66
flags guidons and other emblems captured by
the military forces of the United States in the
Mexican War of 1846-1848 and since then pre-
served at the Military Academy at West Point
Thirteen of the banners are national Mexican
colors, the rest are regimental insignia.
The war OF which they are relics grew out of
a fundamental contention between Spain and
England and their heirs in North America. In
its later phases it reflected the great issue OF
chattel slavery and the political connotations
thereof.
In 1850 the events of 1846-1848 seem very
distant Mexico and the United States are good
neghbors now, perhaps largely because they
have not been overly friendly at intervals in the
past. Both have learned by experience the

To keep the body cool in hot weather
is only part of the job.
Even more important is to prevent the
mind from becoming heated!
The prevalence of wars in the summer
suggests that there is real danger here.
How to keep the mind cool?
The influence of the body on the mind
is undoubted, even if one does not go as
far as some in thinking so.
The influence of the mind over the
body has its proponents.
What we all realize Is that here is an
interlocking affair. and that If we try
our best to keep cool" in the heat we
can achieve something both ways.
X
1t is an unfortunate fact of human
psychology that religion and politics are
the two subjects on the discussion of
which the human mind becomes most
heated
When the weather is hot itself, there
is added fuel, it would seem.
Therefore, it behooves every one to
keep off such topics, If possible. Too
often it is not possible.
What then?
The thing to do is to make up ones
mind beforehand that one will keep all
remarks under full control.
Evening star., 1950-08-08

The point may be clever, but it hurts,
especially in hot weather, when the inner
surfaces Of the mind, as it were, bruise
just bit quicker than at any other
time of the year.
Keeping the body cool in the heat is,
then, only part of it. One must try
to keep the mind cool, too.
Good reading, like good music, is
helpful. 1t takes the mind off the lesser
things, and puts them on the more
worthwhile. Every one, in his own mind
and heart, knows what is really worth
while. If religion and politics too easily
lead to acrimonious discussion, it is only
because the emphasis has been put on
the outer and unessential differences.
Underneath lies the hard perfect core
of rightness, the same in all religions,
in all politics, the desire to serve man
and God. If we can keep this in mind,
we can keep the mind cool. as We say,
and so in turn help the body keep cool.
The main thing is to realize the neces-
sity for GOODNESS of the mental processes.
The Urited Nations looks forward to
some such working out of human affairs,
in day when cool minds will together
arrive at perfect understanding. How
much better it will be than hot minds
driving hot bodies to slug it out for an
uneasy peace that Is no peace

been isolated among the Communists is attrib-
utable in part, to their own resourcefulness, but
they themselves have been crediting their good
fortune to Korean farmers and villagers.
These farmers and villagers, it seems have
been going out of their way to be helpful to
any lost CT who runs into them. At great risk
to themselves, they have been acting as guides
along circuitous escape routes from territory held
by the Korean Reds to the relative safety of
American or South Korean lines. UnqueStion-
ably, without their aid, the troops they have
helped would today be either in prison camp
or dead.
All of which makes interestng-and perhaps
significant-reading when related to rather
widespread rumors that the Koreans, north and
south, have been growing bitterly hostile toward
Americans. This particular story tends to de-
flate those rumors. At any rate, it strongly
suggests that a lot of ordinary people over
there, far from disliking the CT, regard him as
a friend they anxious to help even when
by being helpful they might endanger their
own lives.

Korea and the Constitution

This so-called police action in Korea
seems to be an anomalous situation, for
the President has virtually declared war,
while the power of declaring war is,
under the Constitution, the power of
Congress only. When our Marines were
sent into Nicaragua, under President
Coolidge. without commission from
Congress to do so, if I remember cor
rectly. Democrats howled loudly that
this was an unconstitutional act.
Why is this present action any more
constitutional under Democratic Pres
ident than the Nicaraguan action was
under Republican President? If one
act was wrong. the other act is wrong
also.
do not condemn the President for
the action he took in Korea. But the
Korean matter has been going on for
over a month. and yet the President
has not gone before Congress and asked
for congressional approval of his action.
I do condemn the President for keeping
in his own hands for so long time,
power that belongs to the Congress
alone.
1t seems best that we now regularize
the action of the President, and bring
