Taxpayers Finance Movie

According to a news story in the
MADEIRA, California, Citizen, motion
picture crew has arrived in the San
Joaquin Valley to shoot scenes for a
documentary film of the Central Val
leys project ordered by the State De-
partment. The picture will show the
San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys
before the turn Of the century and
how public power a n d irrigation
projects have changed them since
then The film will be presented in
this country and will also be shown in
foreign lands under the sponsorship
of the State Department.
The taxpayers money is going to
be used to publicize Federal projects
which are in line with similar govern
ment projects in socialistic and COM
munistic nations.
The questions have been rightly

tunity to promote unity and allay bit
terness.
Probably Mr.. Acheson has been
hurt as much by his friends as by
his foes. Some of his warmest jour
nalistic supporters, while contendng
that he has been unjustly assailed,
now insist he must resign because he
has lost the confidence of the coun-
try" and can't get the cooperation
of Congress" That is what the Re
publicans have charged, but it seems
strange to have his personal friends
agree Mr.. Acheson would gain
strength if he could put an end to
this sort of talk by men supposed to
be close to him. The truth is that,
though he has been viciOusly at
tackled, Mr. Acheson has ovelwhelm-
ing press support and most fair
minded and informed men think he
has been a good Secretary of State
under very difficult circumstances.
Certainly some of the damage to him
has been self-inficted. And now his
friends are at it.

Eisenhower's present trip is to con-
vey personally the idea to our allies
that we are not satisfied with their
contribution to military defense, that
there is a belief here that some of
them are dragging their feet" that
the extent Of their willingness to
make sacrifices for their own de-
Tense will be the measure of the aid
they get from US.
The logic of this is that if some
how they do not do more than they
have done or plan to do, continued
aid from us will not be possible. Be
yond doubt, General Eisenhower will
express these views tactfully, but
there is every reason to believe he
will express them clearly. 1t is not
easy to detect any basic difference
between what he is expected to say
privately to our allies and what Mr..
Hoover said in public. Considering
these things, it would seem the part
of wisdom for Mr.. Acheson on Fri
day night to forget his enemies. If
he does that it would seem an oppor-

the possibility that the New York
meeting may develop into grand as
sault upon Mr. Hoover and those who
subscribe to his ideas. This would be
bad for him and bad for the country.
Already there has been too much
distortion of Mr.. Hoover's words and
too much viciousness in the criticism
of Mr.. Acheson One of the few out
standing Republicans who supported
the League of Nations and one of the
earliest advocates of the United Ma
tons it is as absurd to call Mr.
Hoover an ''isolationist" as to suggest
that MI. Acheson is sympathetic with
communism. The bitterness felt to-
ward the Hoover proposals by Adj
spokesman is wholly out
of proportion to the differences be-
tween their views and his. 1t is true
Mr.. Hoover was more bluntly out
spoken and went farther than any
one else in his call for a showdown

THE GREAT
GAME OF
POLITICS

They Needed PrOdding


Secretary of State Dean Acheson,
the most controversial figure in our
public life, is scheduled to make an
other speech next Friday. Those who,
despite his defects and mistakes, re-
gard Mr. Acheson as an able and
wholly patriotic man and are con-
WINGED that if forced to resign the
chances are against his successor
being as good, feel worried about his
speech-and for two reasons.
One is that recent Acheson utter
ances have increased rather than di-
minished the personal hostility toward
him. OF course, he feels like striking
at those he considers his foes, hut,
his friends say, it would be better if
he could manage to restrain this i'm
pulse and at least, free his discourses
from the heavy sarcasm to which he
is addicted. Unquestionably this ten
dency has enhanced the savagery Of
his critics. To honest differences of
opinion it has added strong personal
dislike. The fear is that Mr. Acheson
may supply more fuel for these
flames.
The other reason is that the forth
coming speech is to be under the aus
pieces of the so-called Americans for
Democratic Action. This is an in
tensely partisan organization whose
members regard those who fail to ac-
cept their views as idiots or villains
or both Chiefly, it is largely domi-
mated by jobholders of the Roosevelt
administrations and the highly color
full members of the Roosevelt family.
The personnel is exclusively New
Deal, Fair Deal and Left Wing. In it
are most of the more virulent of the
Hoover haterS in the country. From
them has come the most violent de-
nunciation of Mr.. Hoover's speech
suggesting that unless our European
allies show greater evidence of desire
and ability to defend themselves, we
send no more money or men to west
ern Europe for what, it is agreed,
would be a hopeless resistance effort
The character of the ADA, plus the
disposition of Mr.. Acheson to regard
the Hoover proposals as the worst
sort of ''isolationism" as we'll as

asked: Why should this film not also
show what private enterprise is do
ing, and did in power and irrigation
development long before the present
Federal socialistic program was ever
thought of? Why not have a film paid
for with taxpayers money to show
the American way of doing things?
Why must the people put up tax mon
ey to show what this country is doing
to ape a foreign philosophy which our
boys are being killed by the thousands
to keep from being forced on unwill-
ing nations? Why not boost our tax
paying, private enterprise system
which is being called on today to fl
nance the drive to help free people
everywhere? Why should taxpayers
money be used to film and advertise
tax-exempt, Federal monopolies which
are the antithesis of American in
dustrial progress and which, stripped
of their DISCUSSES, are nothing but
socialism?
1t would be cheaper to import a
good film from Russia clarifying
state monopolies. 1t is time to have
showdown as to who is promoting
these alien policies in the United
States.-Industria News Review.

with our allies. But, in essence, the
things he said publicly are almost
exactly the things which important
Administration and Pentagon figures
had been saying privately for some
time. Actually, Mr.. Hoover did what
he intended to do, which was to prod
our North Atlantic allies. Some of
these admit, themselves, they needed
prodding.
Since the Hoover speech, both
French and British journalistic and
political voices have been raised to
agree with him that those nations
were not doing all they could or
should, and that the disposition to
count upon the United States for un-
limited aid does exist. Actually, since
the Hoover speech, France has in
creased her armament appropriation
by a billion dollars. No secret is made
that the prime purpose of General

All Around Us

Seems like there are big doings all
around us. Meyersdale has announced
its fourth annual Maple festival
Kingwood has its annual Buckwheat
festival, and Elkins has its Forest
festival Each one of these events at
tracts thousands of people from over
night to an entire week.
Surely Garrett county could have
some event-something big that
would be as big an attraction as was
Oakland's centennial in 1919, when
old friends returned for their va
cations and many visitors were at
tracted
The Oakland Firemcn several
months ago had something in mind
when they contemplated turkey
festival. But maybe turkeys are not
big enough to produce full grown
festival although it is true that there
are thousands of them raised in this
area every year.
Perhaps it could be an enlargement
of a water sports program, an enor-
nous pageant, motor and sail boat
races ON big scale that would ring
the bell' for this territory. With our
recreation facilities and wonderful
summer climate to help tie the loose
ends together, Garrett county could
promote a festival of its own that
could be terrific.
Sure, it would take cooperation and
some hard work. But the results
would be worth it.

Mr.. Chew's AcquittoI

The attempt to remove F. Freeand Chew
from the Arlington County Board has foundered
on the rock of insufficient evidence-the same
ground upon which Daniel A. Dugan was cleared
of similar charges.
Mr.. Chew's removal was recommended by
grand jury on the charge that he had accepted
television set given by Malcolm B. Devers
head of the Congressional School, to influence
Mr.. Chew's official acts. At the trial, however
MIR. Chew said Mr.. Devers, as an act of friendship
obtained the set for him at reduced price
and that he reimbursed Mr.. Devers in cash He
denied that the transaction was intended to
influence him as member of the County Board
and he said that he did not know at the time
that Mr.. Devers got the set through Sam Lano,
pinball and slot machine distributor This
testimony in its essentials, was corroborated by
Mr. Devers, and the prosecution could not
refute it.
On these facts, the acquittal was necessary
and proper. If Mr.. Chew had known that the
set was obtained at discount through Lano it
would have been highly improper for him to
have been party to the transaction Perhaps
he was careless in not checking more closely
into the deal. But certainly, on the evidence,
there was no basis for removing him from the
board.
