been widely known. Prepared as
most people were for the jury's
verdict, the verdict when it came
was a shock. 1t seemed to make
nobody happy-nobody, that is
if you exclude those who saw in
it something that might be turned
to political advantage.
Everybody Talked.
Your friends, Republicans and
Democrats, conservative and lib
eral, important and unimportant,
in public life and private life, said,
What do you think of the Hiss
verdict?" You mumbled some
thing to the effect that it had ap-
peared to be a fair trial and that
you couldn't quarrel with the jury.
And when you asked, What do
you think?" you got similar re-
ply. Everybody talked about it,
but nobody said much.
The disposition to defend Hiss,
outSpokenly at least, was lacking
There are still some people," said
Senator Mundt of South Dakota
some days later, finding excuses
for Hiss, saying he is a nice young
man with a Harvard accent and
a neat crease in the front of his
pants" That, of course, is sheer
bunk, couched in the language the
Senator expects to appeal to the
voters of the Dakota plains. In
fact, there had appeared at the
time to be little willingness to de-
fend Hiss, little willingness to ad-
NIT that he was or had been a
friend.
That was the case until Wed
nesday afternoon when Secretary
Acheson held his regular press
conference. The judge in New
York had just announced the

sentence. The reporters remem-
bered the remark Secretary Ache
son had made a year ago when
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee was considering his
confirmation as Secretary of
State. Asked concerning his rela-
tons with Hiss. he said Hiss was
his friend and he added bit
Igrandiloquently it seemed then
that his friendship was not given
| lightly nor lightly withdrawn.
Now the reporters asked him to
comment, in the light of the jury's
finding. The Secretary made his
learlier statement good. He did
not intend, he said, to turn his
back on his friend.
In Light of Own Standards.
There was on his conscience, he
said, the necessity to state his
attitude, in the light of his own
standards and principles. He
found it expressed in the 25th
Chapter of the Gospel according
to st. Matthew, beginning at
Verse "a.
This was what produced the
sensation in Washington. The
one man, who by the usual rules
of politics and of society, could
be most damaged by frankly ex-
pressing his feeling, had dared to
do it. He did not have to do it.
His silence would have been I'M
derstood..
In Washington it can be said
that greater love hath no man
than that he lay down his politi-
cal life for his friend. Whether
it can be said, however, that the
Secretary has laid down his polit-
ical life is not at all certain. From
the wild outcries in Congress that
followed his statement it might
be thought that he has. But
that raises the question of wheth-
er Secretary Acheson has any
political life. He has accepted the
hard work and the headaches of
high Office over a period of many
years, but it never has been Of
flee of his own seeking; always he
has been drafted to lend his in
telligence and integrity to the
public service.
Maybe the Secretary shouldn't
have said what he said, but being
the sort of person he is, he prob
ably is sleeping the sounder for
having done so,

He added that some prices went

be submitted to the committee.

Ohio Descendants Of Patriotic
Forbears Sought BY Bond Division

Where are Ohio's patriotic de-
scendants?
The Treasury Department is
trying to find out. But despite tee
proximity of Americas noted
datemark-March 15-it isn't the
Internal Revenue on the search
this time-it's the Savings Bonds
Division
Tt seems that this ye1-s bond
drive will be called the 1ndepen-
dence Drive and will have as its
symbol the Liberty Bell. And de-
spite exhaustive efforts of state
historical experts, the right dcS-
cendants of certain of our pat
riotic forbearS haven't been dis
covered.
1t isn't that there aren't plenty
of descendants of famous per
sonages in the nations early his
tory who live in Ohio, but thaS
they just don't seem to be the
right ones. For instance, queries
to the Daughters of the American
Revolution and the Colonial
Danes failed to shed light on any
descendants in Ohio of Betsy
Ross, flag maker. This despite the
fact that Betsy married three
time and had seven children.
According to a Savings Bonds
for OHIO official, they're looking
for Ohio descendants of just about
anyone who was closely associ-
ated with the independence of the
colonies, but particularly descen-
dants of those who were active
in getting the Liberty Bell to this
country or in protecting it from
the enemy in time of war.
