Korean war will have no effect" on the
program designed to build up our de-

AGcREssoRs MAY HESITATE

General Omar N Bradley, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says that the
members of the Atlantic Alliance have
an emergency plan for the defense OF
Western Europe that could and would be
put into play tomorrow if war begins.
General Bradley admits that the pres
ent plan IS based upon forces now in be.
ing which are admittedly insufficient to
breast for long the shock of any Soviet
assault. However. far greater plan is
being mapped with the idea that a show
OF force may deter Communist leaders
from initiating an aggressive war. j.
Pointing out that twice before. the
soldiers and airmen of the United States
have fought in Europe. General Bradley
made it plain that this time, We intend
to be there with our friends before IT
starts, in the hope that our obvious de-
termination may deter aggressors and
keep them from starting it at all"

FORD FORTUNE FOR MAN


The Ford Foundation, with more than
50, 10000 at its disposal, plans to CEN
Ter It's work on five fields of inquiry lal
the quest for world peace; OBJ the
strengthening of democracy; (c) world
wide economic improvement; (d) the ex-
pansion of education. and fel study of
human conduct.
The work of the Foundation can hepe-
fit the entire human race If those in
charge of its studies will reIentlessly pur-
sue the truth, regardless of previously
formed opinions and the vested interests
of anybody or anything The truth is an
elusive goal Its discovery is often
thwarted by adherence to custom, yield
ing TO prejudice and shrinking from its
consequences.
The Foundation owes its life to the
fortuned amassed by Henry Ford, who. be
it clearly understood, made his wealth
in competitive field and without special
favors. That considerable portion of his:
fortune now goes into the unselfish service
of mankind in general is extremely fortuf
nate and demonstrates, once more. the
tendency Of men of wealth to do some
thing for the world with their resources

MANpowER MAY BE SCARCE

With the armed services expanding
if is vitality important for the nation TO
consider its use of manpower in connec-
ton with the necessary build-up of our
fighting strength.
There have been number of reports
of draftees being rejected for various
reasons. including lack of sufficient intel
igence to become a soldier. The sug-
gestion has been made that these men,
if physically able to work. be put in labor
battalions- This would relieve physical
ly-fit soldiers for combat duty.
With the nation about TO embark
upon universal military training as a mat
ter of policy, it is vitality important that
exemptions from service be carefully
screened. Certainly. public opinion will
be ineensed if too liberal exemptions
make a farce of universal service. Those
who are unit TO fight might be able to
work and thus serve their country to the
best Of their ability.

We think Of slavery as bad
thing, and it really was bad. 1t is
well to remember, however, that 1t
grew out Of something worse.
Long ago, when men were in the
hunting stage" there were wars at
times. When prisoners were taken,
they were put to death.
Later-when farming was done
and when domestic animals were
kept-many war prisoners were
spared from death. Instead Of los
ing their lives, they became slaves.
So far as 1t was left to them,
the prisoners wanted to live, even
though they had to act as slaves.
While there's life, there's hope" !"
is an old saying.
There were slaves In ancient
Egypt and Babylonia. Some worked
In the homes of their masters. 9th
ers labored in the fields or took care
Of cattle, sheep or goats.
Still others became public
slaves" serving the king. An old
record tells about an Egyptian king
who gave 10000 slaves to the tenn
Piles of Egypt.
Another Egyptian king-Khufu
by name-used vast armies of slaves
to build the Great Pyramid of
Gizeh. This pyramid was prepared
to hold Khufu's coffin.
Markets arose for slaves in the
ancient world. In these markets,
men and women could be bought
by Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks,
Romans and others. It is hard to
compare ancient money with mod
ern money, but the price scale at
one time ran about 500 for a man
and $50 for a woman, judging by
the bullion value Of the coins which
were used.
Negro slaves were bought and
sold IN that period, but there also
were white slaves. One country
where slavery was common was
Greece, and slaves Of white stock
were common there.
Phoenician sailors dealt in slaves
Old records tell us that they gath
cred a large number of captives
from Spain, and took them away to
sell at the slave markets. The island
OF Cyprus. at the eastern end of the
Mediterranean Sea was an I'M
portant center Of the slave trade.

And over all, the smell of
Christmas green's, of cedar, pine
and holly.
Truly, a wonderful and fas-
cinating place is this great
stOrehOuse of food for the Ma
tion's Capital - particularly
during the holiday season.
SMITHFIELD HAMS abound
at the Market this week. You'll
find them at practically every
meat stand specializing in pork
products and at some of the
beef stands, also. Those won
derful Polish hams that come
in cans make excellent holiday
fare. All you do is decorate
them and heat. They slice so
beautifully, too, as they are
boneleSS. Dutch hams are
available at some Of the meat
stands, also, and they, too, are
good for buffet suppers, during
the holidays.

They had always been very close.
He thought of a favorite remark
of Ellen's, 1--WE were truly fated

Fate will always play large part
in our marriage. Then she would
ask, Don't you believe that, too?"
and he would admit that he did.
There had been nothing ordinary
about their marriage. Perhaps he
could have pushed harder for ma
terial success, but now he was just
as glad that he had not. 1t would
have taken time from Ellen.
That closeness, that feeling of
oneness, was now something to be
cherished beyond anything mate
rial. That was the real past and all
of the pure gold of the past. Even
facing death he was content with
the way it had been. Life had been
good to him.
WHEN he heard a telephone ring
ing he thought his senses were
playing tricks on him. He raised

out of the fog of heat enveloping
his brain. The bell was still ring

business to sell, there was ample
insurance and there was the trust

would be roasted.
John jumped to his feet and
rushed around the walls like a
trapped animal. He could no longer
touch the concrete. Even the metal
strap of his wristwatch was becom-
ing too hot for his skin. He took it
off and dropped it on the floor. He
sank back into the chair at the
grimy table and blinked at the
watchman, whose head was slowly
sinking lower. Moran's skin was
becoming a mottled red from the
heat. John realized sickly that his
own skin probably looked the same.

that somehow there was a way out.
But there was no hope in the vault.
