1.-THE fact of their departure
may, however, furnish the an
swer to your '$64 question'-as
to why, Although in every
other important department of
the United States Government
disloyalty cases have been
found the State Department
Loyalty and Security Board has
not found a single case of dis
loyalty in the department. OF
course this fact should not be
\ stated without the accompany
ing statement that the board
has found and recommended
dismissal Of, 20 security risks.
as I stated in my speech"
Mr.. Snow does not explain
why the discovery of 20 "secu-
rity risks"-admittedly they are
differentiated from "disloyalty"
cases-should permit readers to
draw the conclusion that there
have or have not been Com
munists in the State Depart
ment depending on the degree
of suspicion created by the
words security risks" Nor
does Mr.. Snow answer the real
objection to the present pro-
cedureS in the Department of
State. which is that a Commu-
mist may work in that depart
ment nowadays for months,
then be investigated by the FBI
and, the moment charges are
filed with the Loyalty Security
Board, the employe is permitted
to resign no matter how much
damage he did during the
course of his employment-and
nobody on the loyalty board
sees the FBI files. He might
even get a job in another Gov
ernment department.
Mr.. Snow is not qualified to
answer this objection perhaps
because he admits that he
doesn't read the FBI reports
unless a formal hearing is held
by his board. The unanswered
question is what is really done
with FBI reports in the State
Department and why does the
chairman Of the Loyalty Secur-
ity Board insist that not a single
Communist has been found"
when apparently he hasn't read,
much less investigated, all the
FBI reports that have been filed
in the Department of State
since 1947 when he became
chairman of the board.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Nov. II.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Nov. II.
Politically, the South just
now is a revolution looking for
some place to happen and some
champion about whom to rally,
but with the possibility that,
under certain circumstances,
there may be no revolution at
all.
The "confederates" are rebel
yelling against the Yankees
symbolized in that Missouri
Yankee" in the White House
and the. feeling is intense and
widespread. The Southerners,
generally speaking, also are
fighting among themselves, torn
this way and that. This is so
because the Yankees, repre-
sented by Franklin D. Roose-
welt and Harry Truman, have
carpetbagged many benef1cen-
ces to the South in the New
Deal-Fair Deal era since 1888.
They have broken down an
ancient fuedalism that worked
against the plain people. Con-
seouently. there is q suspicion
among the plain people that
somehow or other the Dixie
Gratis and Republicans, or a
combination of both, do not
really mean so well by them, but
may be using them only for
their own purposes in the
counter revolution now being
plotted.
All Of this ferment, which
makes the South today not only
the most interesting section of
our Nation but also a key battle
ground for 1852, was reflected
among the governors of the
Southern States who congre-
gated here for their annual
conference.
The Southern colonel-mag-
nolia tradition, with its emphasis
on old manners and customs,
predominated among the gov
ernors who are, after all, the
political leaders-and as such
they count. AS a matter of
fact, only three governors in
the 11-State region customarily
recognized as "the Old South"
are supporters today Of Presi-
dent Truman-39-year-old Sid
ney s. McMath of this state,
Pacific war hero, now in the
second term of an administra-
ton that has churned up a
minor political revolution in

q long career in Federal farm
services and is a staunch Fair
Dealer, and Gordon Browning

David LoWrence:

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
Of Massachusetts is right when
he says that confidence in the
loyalty of State Department
employees will not be fully re-
stored until bipartisan COM
mission investigates that de-
partment'S procedures and
methods of wedding out loyalty
risks.
Mr.. Lodge can find backing
for his beliefs by reading of
the views of Conrad E. Snow.
chairman of the Department of
States Loyalty Security Board.
Here is an amazing paragraph
from Mr.. Shows public speech:
Insofar as the administra-
ton of the loyalty-security pro-
gram, by its methods of inter-
rogation, its manner of con-
ducting hearings, its decisions
on individual cases, gives sup
port to the public belief that
the baseless smears of the dem
agogue are given effect in the
loyalty and security program,
1t has co-operated in the de-
struction of freedom of thought
and expression"
Mr.. Shows attitude toward
the present program evidently
is that he must give more at
tention to public reaction than
to cases where 'baseless smears"
could turn cut to be justified
accusations.
The hearings are held in Sc
cret SO nobody knows how the
interrogationS are carried on.
The above paragraph has been
interpreted by some Government
officials to be a veiled criticism
of the methods used in depart
mentS other than the State
Department, where Communists
have been found, in contrast
with Mr.. Shows assertion that
since he took charge in 1947
not a single present Commu-
mist" has been found in the
State Department.
Chairman Snow in a letter to
this correspondent takes issue
with a recent dispatch analyz-
ing the public speech of Octo-
ber rs. In that dispatch three
quotations were reproduced,
and in two of them specific
mention was made of the fact
that they referred to incidents
since 1947. AS to the other
quotation, Mr.. Snow says men

his previous statement that he

The consensus among Gov

as follows:

Even with Sam, of course, the

The Redskins dropped their
sixth game in a row last Satur-
day night when they were de-
feated 72-4l by Glouster on the
Tomcats' floor in an MVL con-
test. Glouster got off to a fast
start, scoring more points in the
first quarter than Caldwell
could get in the first half, and
the Tomcats were never headed.
A big fourth quarter also netted
25 points for the winners.
Bill Christopher led the Red

Coach Strang used 10 players in
an effort to stem the tide, but

"Musing," as is translated in
the dictionary, means thoughts,
not necessarily of the band. In
this time of the year the band
isn't really doing much, so I am
going to have to think of some
thing else.
A project that has just been
finished out at school is the new
locker system. These were sur
plus lockers that were bought
from Chauncey Dover at a cost
of around $100. If lockers of this
number and quality, were to be
purchased new, they would cost
far more than the school could
afford. In the group there were
about go good lockers that could
be used, out of 100. When these
were shipped over from Chaun-
cey, they were fastened together,
ten in a bunch, and very hard to
handle. However, with the help
of some of the boys around the
school they were unloaded, car
ried to the gym and dismantled.
The reason for the purchase of
these lockers was because of the
carelessness of the gym classes
and the football and basketball
teams.
The previous locker system
was inadequate, and hard to use.
The lockers were taken apart
| washed and reassembled, and
are now set up in the boys base
ment. Like all standard lockers,
they have a small compartment
in the top and a larger one for
clothes in the bottom. The larger
compartment is used by the
basketball team, and the top
one is rented to the members
of the gym classes who wish
them. There is a slight charge
of 25 cents to cover the making
of keys, and if you should for
get your key and want your
locker opened it will cost you a
dime. This helps to prevent the
habit of forgetting keys.
Most of the credit for the dis
mantling and setting up of this
locker system goes to Mr.. Wood
who also played a big part in
the purchase of them. Almost
any time that you would go in
the gym in the last few months,
in or out of school, you would
find Mr.. Wood working there.
Because of the great number of
locks included in these lockers,
and the constant need of re-
pairing them, Mr.. Wood has
earned the nickname of the
official lock smith" of Cald-
well high.

Like the utility models originally con-

man, and first introduced by K-F in 1949, the
new Travellers are designed to combine the
style and comfort of a sedan with the cargo
features of station wagon.
The 1851 Travellers have the outward ap-
pearance of the Kaiser two and four-door Sc
dams, with no indication of their dual-purpose
potential. Inside, they are conventional six
passenger sedans until the rear seat is flipped
forward to provide 62R cubic feet of cargo
space.
With the rear panel open and the tail
gate" extended, the cargo capacity is in
creased to 1852 cubic feet, and a floor area
of 103X46 inches is provided.
The rear panel tailgate assembly opens
the car from floor to roof for easy loading.
