There was grudging admiration
in Rays eyes as he saw the queen
standing on a dals at the far end
of the hall. Her central eye was
cleaning, smoky jewel. Her fea-
lures were a contrast of conflict

it on him and ordered the Var

out from every pore. Still he

that Vargia wouldn't kill him.
At last she relented, softening
the ray to almost nothing.

This was the moment. Per

look at this"
He raised his hand and pointed
finger at the nearest Vargian.
He was one of those with white
hair and a cleaning center eye.
Slowly that eye dimmed.
In the space of a held breath it
changed and diminished until it
was nothing but smooth skin With
no trace of the eye left. The fore
head was that of an ordinary
man. '@f tf.5 tstf
There were gasps of horror all
about him. Ray looked up at the
queen. Her face was distorted
with an indescribable horror,
terrible dread.
Suddenly she raised the pa
ralysiS gun and CONSTRUCTED her
finger. But Ray had seen the
move and vanished.
He leaped onto the dais and
went to stand just behind the
queen. bringing himself into al
most three quarter phase with
solidity.

The main complaint of the
former President was directed,
however, at the flight from
honor which has gripped our

the more destructive forms of
dishonor.

fathers have thought" he asks,
"of those who coquette with
traitorship? Or of the secret

our Nation, which were denied

The answer is that they must

In his speech at Des Moines
former President Herbert Hoover
put his finger on the ailments
from which this Nation now
suffers.
His words cannot be taken
lightly. In recent years he has
come to be regarded-even by
administration Stalwarts - as
Americas elder statesman and
his counsels have been sought
on many occasions by Mr.. Tru-
man himself.
Because of his age the former
President may be accused by
neo-liberalS of suffering from
yearning for bygone days. But
those who try to keep an open
mind will agree that his attack
on dishonesty in Government
based principally on slogans and
propaganda hit the bull'e eye.
He pointed out that the So
called new" concepts of the adj
miniStration are not in the least
new. The country, and for that
matter the rest of the world, are
indulging in an orgy of new
orders, new freedom Gas if free
dom could be new, new era,

foreign policies, which are really
no new discoveries"
The former President erred
when he mentioned that our
foreign policy is not new"
Never in the history of this
country have we attempted to
obtain peace at such a Stupen-
douS price as we are now paying
and never have our disburse-
ments to gain friends abroad

manner.

Trumons Ability to 60 to Heart of Great Issues Of Day,
Like Oats Case, Explains His Hold on the Voters

The case will not be closed un-
til Oats is out of jail.
Just like that, period, the
President replied at his press
conference to the statement
the day before by Czechoslo-
vakia's new ambassador, DR..
Vladimir Prochazka, that the
case of William N. Oats, i'm
prisoned Associated Press cor
respondent, is closed as
"juridical" matter.
Not with Harry Truman. His
simple, blunt statement, literally
ringing with challenge, brought
to a climax series of equally
simple statements in the last few
days in which he had set forth,
in plain language that everybody
can understand, the whole
philosophy of the integrity and
sanctity of the individual, the
keystone of American democracy
and of all democracy every
where.
It is what we have fought for,
and died for, and what others
before us fought for, and died
for. It is the issue in the world
today between us and totalitar-
ianism as exemplified now in
Russ;a and before that in Nazi
Germany. 1t is, likewise, an is
sue today here at home, for
there are those among us who
figuratively would lock up the
counterpart of Bill Oats in an
American jail. The President
included them in his summation
Of the past week.
He started with them, as a
matter of fact-in his speech
dedicating the new American
Legion Building here when he
spoke of those among us who
"have attacked the basic prin-
ciples of fair play that under
lie our Constitution. They are
trying to create fear and suSpi-
cion among us by the use Of
slander, improved accusations,
and just plain lies. They
have created such a wave Of
fear and uncertainty that their
attacks upon our liberties go
almost unchallenged. Many peo-
pie are growing frightened, and
frightened people don't pro-
test"
Everybody knew whom he
meant. The breed is symbolized

Wisconsin; but there are others,
in Congress and outside.

right back to the individual.
which means all of us, when he
concluded:
when even one American,
who has done nothing wrong,
is forced by fear to shut his
mind and close his mouth, then
all Americans are in peril. 1t
is the job of all of us, of every
American who loves his country
and his freedom. to rise up and
Evening star., 1951-08-31

put an end to this terrible busi-
ness"
Through the sequence of
events, rather than by design,
the President proceeded from
his speech on McCarthyism to
the case of Bill Oats, lone
American who has done nothing
wrong" When the new Czech
ambassador, in presenting his
credentials, told the President
he hoped to make relations
more cordial, Mr.. Truman told
him that the best way to do
that was to send our Associated
Press correspondent home. Just
like that. And afterward:
The case will not be closed
until Oats is out Of Jail.
There is a connection be-
tween McCarthyism and what
has happened to Bill Oats. Both
involve individual liberty. Harry
Truman sees that.
Those who seek to analyze the
hold Harry Truman has on so
many people in our country
don't have to go into meta
