1904 Carew Tower, Cincinnati.
This is new sort of wrinkle in
political campaigns. The theme
of the letter is the catastrophe
of defeat for the Senator. How
widely the chain-letter technique
has spread is indicated in an ar
ticle in the Birmingham News by
Fred Taylor. who published ex-
cerpts from the plea for funds
which is showing up in Alabama
in the deep South. While 81 con-
Itributions are requested, Mr.. Tay-
lor said that reports to him dis
close that "the rabid anti-Truman
boys have been contributing con-
siderably more to the Buckeye
States presidential aspirant."
On Labor Blacklist.
The letter says that the Sem
ator's reelection is "a matter of
national import" and that "its
significance and Importance ex-
tend beyond the borders of Ohio"
Labor, on the other side, is. max
ing the Senator national issue,
putting him at the top of it's 1850
blacklist. National interest gen.
orally is concentrated in Ohio
since the Senator is the Republi-
can Partys outstanding leader in
Congress and director of strategy
against the Truman Administra-
tion.
He has been fortunate, in his
necessary first step toward the
1852 Republican nomination, in
the way possible formidable
Democratic opponents in the No
vember election in Ohio have SHE'D
away from a contest with him.
First to declare himself out of the
race. and long time ago, was
Democratic Gov. Frank Lausche,
an independent sort of figure who
is regarded as friendly to the
Senator. He was considered the
strongest potential foe of the Sen
ator and earlier had indicated he
might make the race.

candidate who has demonstrated

the General are described as ex-
tremely vexed by stories that a
major conflict existed between the
Defense and State Departments
and will welcome the chance to
deny it.
AS for Gen. Macarthur, it is
stated categorically that he never
described Formosa as a critical"
area-which, in military parlance,
means one worth the use of force
to retain. Probably Congress will
never believe this except from his
own mouth; it is up to Congress
to produce him here, for the ad-
ministration will not.
The administration has not told
its Asia story effectively. It's alibi
is that to talk of weakness and
division in Asia helps the Reds.
However, when Secretary Acheson
spoke up last week, the Rubicon
had been crossed-in that the de-
cision to tailor our commitments
according to the limits of our
military strength had been made.
But the Secretary did not see
to 1t that his enormously effective
speech reached the largest pos
sible radio audience. He even
chose forum from which minor
ity reporters, like women and Ne
groeS. are barred.
The administration likes to
complain its side doesn't get told;
this time it is their fault.

America. Our heritage is being
poured right down the drain. And
it is much too fine heritage to
come to such an end. Our heritage
is based absolutely on liberty-and
that's what is being taken from us
every time the clock ticks.
Record of Generosity.
Speaking as an American, !
would rather have it all taken in
one big bite instead of having it
nibbled away. I consider it an in
suit to my intelligence for my gov
eminent to think that I don't
know what's going on. If all we
were going to lose was money, I
don't think many of us would
complain. This country has proved
its willingness to give away money
to the world. This country has an
unmatched record of generosity
and decency. No one ever called
for help and went unanswered.
But there has come a time when
we are being asked, under the
guise of politics, to quit being
Americans. Day by day, slowly and
surely, we are being asked to give
away our pattern of life for the
pattern of life of the Old World.

this budget goes through, as it
undoubtedly will, most of us will

When we get a cold, or touch

head, we won't be able to call up
doctors the way we used to be-
cause we won't have any money

have will be long gone to such
places as the Maritime Commits

Figures Out Sacrifice.
I hate to see the passing of doc
tors. In many ways they have been
closer to the American family
than any other professional men.
The family doctor was the one
man you could talk to. He was the
one man who would get up at all
sorts of hours and come to see you.
He was the one man who knew
you were being alarmed over
nothing. but was still nice enough
to come and allay your fears.
I wonder if Mr.. Truman has
ever completely figured out what
he is asking this country to give
up.
In case he hasn't figured it all
out, I'll save him the trouble, be-
cause I have.
He and his advisers are asking
Americans to give UP America. If

This Changing World
Connally May Resort to Witticisms
To Defend China Policy in Senate

Maine and Knowland of Califor-
mia.
1t was natural for the chair
man of the Foreign Relations
Committee to defend the policies
of his administration with the ut
most vigor. But such arguments
as the Bronx cheer" which he
gave Senator Bridges is hardly in
keeping with the usual high stand
ards of arguments in the Senate
Senator Bridges advocated the
retention of Formosa in friendly
hands. Senator Connally asked
whether he advocated shedding
the blood of thousands of Amer
ican boys in order to save Chang
Kai-shek." He wanted a "yes-or-
no" reply, just as in that old gag,
Have you stopped beating your
Wife?"
Personal Arguments.
The whole question of the Sc
curity of Americas position in
the Pacific was reduced to mere
personalities by the Senator from
Texas. He tried to give the i'm
preston that everything is for the
best in the Far East and that the
opposition'S strenuous efforts are
prompted merely by a desire to
throw mud at the administration
1t may be that insufficient argu-
mentS to defend the policy of the
State Department are at the dis
posal of the administration S
spokesmen. Instead of real argu-
ments he uses witticiSms.
When Senator Bridges spoke
about the fight the Nationalist
armies put up until they became
discouraged by lack of ammuni-
tion-which was embargoed by
the State Department for 20
months-the Senator from Texas
did not attempt to deny the
statement. He replied that if the
Chinese had as much virility as
the Senator from New Hampshire
they would still be fighting today.
It was all very amusing, par
ticularly when the chairman of
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, who served in the Spanish
American War, showed his own
youthful energy by bouncing up
and down on the floor of the SEN
ate, accompanying his sarcasm
with appropriate gestures.
Everything is fair in politics.
But such performances, it was
felt by many in the galleries, are
not in order. particularly when
questions of the country's secur-
| ity are being debated.

Democrats Present.
The question of the conquest of
China by the Communists and the
probability of their penetration
into the rest of the Asiatic main
land should be a matter of serious
concern to those who are respon-

United States. Instead, this vital
problem is being handled by ad-

comedy.
In the Senate where these mat
ters are being debated only three
Democratic Senators were pres
ent at one point last Friday when
the Republicans were delivering

Nationalists Written Off.
Because the Republicans-many
feel most unwisely-have gotten
themselves out on the end of the
Formosa limb and are still talk
ing about it, this turnabout in
major policy has largely escaped
attention. 1t is, however, the
heart of Mr.. Acheson's exposition.
The administration has firmly
written off Formosa and Chang
Kai-shek. They have better rea-
sons for doing it than they have
ever advertised, because they did
not wish to hurt the Chinese Ma
tionalist cause any more than nee
essary. But their arsenals are
crammed with facts about the en-
tire Chang circle, who they are,
the wealth they have taken from
China, the troubles we have had
with them. With such a story,
bearing the imprimatur of the
great Gen. Marshall among 9TH
ers, they can make a telling fight
if pushed to it. They prefer not
to do it because they don't wish to
lend aid and comfort to the Reds.
Nor do they expect the Repub-
licans to profit by their insistence
on calling the military. Secre-
tary of Defense Johnson and Gen.
Bradley, chairman of the Joint

We know that male and female
birds usually have different color
ings, but it may hardly come to mind
that the same thing is true of
butterflies.
There is great difference in
some butterfly groups. In one the
male has a large orange spot on
each front wing The female is with
out this decoration.
In another group of butterflies,
the males have wings which are
mostly white on the upper sides.
The females are almost entirely
black. or blackish, on the upper
surfaces of the wings.
Other kinds of butterflies differ
only little in coloring. The male
may have a few more red or yell
low markings than the female.
In the southeastern part Of Asia
and in the East Indies, there are
large butterflies known as bird
winged Swallowtails." Some of
them have a Widespread of eight
inches. The largest ones are females,
but the males have prettier color
ing, with patches of blue, green and
gold which gliSten in the sunshine.
There are swallowtails in North
America. but they are smaller than
those of the Orient The largest
North American SwaHowtails have
Widespread of from five to six
inches. They are known as giant
swallowtails.
Smaller than the giant swallow
tails, but OF large size, are the tiger
swallowtails. AS we might expect
from their name, tiger swallow
tails have stripes on their wings.
The stripes are black and run
across a yellow background. These
butterflies also have pretty mark
ings OF blue and red near the edges
OF the second pair of wings.
Tiger Swallowtails are found in
most parts OF the United States.
The females are larger than the
males, sometimes having a wing
spread of four inches or a bit more.
In Southern States, many Of the
females have deep brown, almost
black, coloring in places where
other swallowtails have yellow.
Butterflies have the most beau
tiful coloring in the insect world,

kinds of moths.
