ure as their rulers permitted us
to help their starved citizens.
Billions after billions were
poured out to countries which
were attempting desperately to
keep themselves out of the
clutches of Communism. And
this effort is. far from being
ended.
No other nation throughout
the centuries has ever done
what the American people have
done in the last three decades.
In the early stages of World
War I this Good Samaritan
work was performed by private
organizations through funds
collected from millions of re-
sponsive Americans. During and
after the second world war it
was done by Government
through appropriations from
the Congress which represents
all of America.
The shoe is beginning to
pinch our people now. yet the
lavish expenditure for peoples
in foreign countries is nowhere
near the end. We are carrying
the world on our shoulders; we
are helping the economies of
most of the free nations and
are supporting their defense

some SIS billion a year.

Atrocities and Human Emotion
Story Of the Little French Nurse Who Thought She
Had Seen Hundreds of Prisoners Die of Storvotion

Some aspects Of war do not
seem to change greatly. The
confusion and uncertainty
aroused by Col. Hanley's re-
port on atrocities in Korea re-
calls an experience Of my own
during the First World War. 1t
may or may not throw some
light on the present disturbing
incident. If it does it will be
only because it serves as a re-
minder of the degree to which
human emotions become in
volved in any consideration of
wars outrages.
Toward the end Of the war,
when the Allied armies were
steadily pushing the Germans
out of Northern France. I enter
ed, with another American cor
respondent, a small town near
Cambria, evacuated the day be-
fore by the Germans. 1t was
an ancient town. built as a
fortress, with double walls, a
moat between. The Canadian
troops fighting in this sector
had by-passed the town, since
the Germans made no effort
to hold it, and we were there
fore the first "liberators" to
enter it. We received a warm
welcome from a population that
had been bottled up under Ger
man rule for four years. And
we were told that we must talk
with Sister Therese, a brave
little nurse and a heroine to
the townsfolk.
We found Sister Therese in
a hospital, which we were told
the Germans had maintained
for enemy sick and wounded.
She was a good-looking peasant
girl who had come there from a
convent in Lille to visit relatives
and had been caught in the in
vasion. The Germans had put
her to work as a nurse In the
hospital. We talked with her.
Her bitterness knew no bounds.
We must kill all the Germans,
she said. They had been guilty
of terrible atrocities, the worst
of which was the starvation of
prisoners.
Hundreds Of prisoners, she
said, had died in that very hos
pital of starvation; she had
watched them die. This she told
us In French and in the English
she had learned from some of
the prisoners. It wasn't very

adequate English, about equal
to our French. But we worked
back and forth in both languages
over the word hundreds" We
resorted to pencil and paper.
There could be no mistake as
to her meaning. Literally hun
dreds had starved or been al
lowed to starve to death. Nor
could there be any question that
she was endeavoring to tell the
truth
Back in Lille that night I
wrote the story and turned it
over to the British censor, who
passed it for publication. Pres
emily I received q call from the
chief British press officer. He
was a splendid fellow. member
of a distinguished family. His
duties included the tracking
down Of all atrocity reports. OF
which the British naturally
made the most. His bitterness
on the subject was little less
than that Of Sister Therese, but
he was a gentleman and an
honest man. He asked me to
accompany him next day to see
the nurse.
We found her as before. He
cross-examined her in her own
language. in which he was COM

Slick" 1t first appeared when
the President became irritated
over published criticism and
took occasion to denounce some
of the things being said about
his administration in what he
called slick magazines"
Just the other day, Mr.. Tru-
man, in a speech before the
Women's National Democratic
Club. again used the word
when he referred to the "slick

which he expected the Republi-

The dictionary defines slick"

While American slang uses the

campaign is already under way.
At best he can expect a parti-
san uproar and he will need to
be very sure that he has done
all that is required if he is to
win the ensuing battle for
public confidence.
His party and President are
not helping him very much.
The President is privately
sarcastic about the Congress
which he says investigates so
much and legislates so little.
So far he has snubbed all op-
portunities to claim credit for
his own party for house clean
ing, nor has he done anything
really constructive to further it.
Cabinet members touched by
the King inquiry have been
equally obtuse. There can be
no question about Treasury
Snyder's personal honesty and
devotion to Harry Truman. yet
1t is in his department that the
tax scandals multiplied while
he ignored all warnings.
It is even more astonishing
that Attorney General McGrath,
who has proved his political skill

largely because they thought he
had outlived his usefulness as
the chairman of the Democratic
National Committee.
It seems certain. that when
Congress reconvenes there will
be an investigation of all the
cases where ELL health" has been
given as the reason for resig-
nation or retirement from the
Government in connection with
published charges of irregulari-
ties or wrongdoing. 1t will be-
come necessary to separate the
sheep from the goats-to really
give a clean bill of health to
those who have done nothing
wrong and arereally i'll but who
are going to suffer from the
innuendoes.
There is no doubt that some
of the controversies that have
arisen out of the exposures in
congressional committees have
produced a good deal Of sick
ness here and there in the ad-
ministration and that certain
officials have not been able to
. perform their duties because of
the weight of the criticism ley
eled against them. 1t is most
unfortunate when innocent per-
sons worry themselves to the
point that they must leave the
Government service on account
of i'll health. But it is not in the
public interest to let anybody
resign, retire, or sever his con-
nections with the Government
on the ground Of ill health
where there has been guilt and
where the public is entitled to
all the facts. To do this is to
engage in what might popularity
be called a slick" practice.

Constantine Brown:

The American people can
truly thank the Lord on Thanks
giving Day for the blessings He
has heaped upon this land. De-
spite the blood letting we have
suffered in the last 10 years, in
spite of the unbelievably high
expenditures of monies. and
natural resources, there are few
people in this country who did
not sit at a plentiful table.
But what is much more i'm
portant than the material
blessings which still prevail in
our land is the fact that in a
world in which individual free
dom is being suppressed or
threatened by false ideologies
and lying theories we are en-
joying our liberties. We are an
unshackled people still free OF
irksome and frequently tyranni-
cal controls despite our growing
bureaucracy.
1t is true that there have been
some attempts to control one Of
the most precious privileges Of
a free nation-the sources Of
information. But these were
not prompted by any desire to-
ward totalitarianism but by the
wish to cover up some of the un-
believable blunders the admin
istration has perpetrated both
in the fields of domestic and
foreign policies.
During the war years many
International agreements. which
eventually proved to be the
cause of the plight in which the
world finds itself today, were
concealed from us. During
war, freedom is necessarily re-
Stricted to prevent the enemy
from finding out what is being
planned. These logical meas
ures were abused by those in
power to cover up diplomatic
and political commitments.
Had they been revealed to
America in time, many of our
present headaches would have
been spared us.
The era of errors has not
ended. And the men at the helm
wish to conceal the present
blunders. Hiding the whole
truth from the public has be-
come the daily endeavor of some
in a position Of authority.
The American people are
alone in history in having
shared, to the extent we have
done so far, the riches of our
country with those who are in
distress.
American blood has soaked
the soil of many countries for
no other reason than to pre-
vent the subjugatlon of fee
people by vile totalitarian
schemers. The American people
have dug deep in their pockets
to help the needy regardless of
race. religion or political beliefs.
There were no gains or ulterior
motives connected with this
lavish expenditure Of blood and
substance.
American assistance was ex-
tended to the peoples behind the
Iron Curtain in as large a meas

The suggestion is being heard

that Representative King should

proposal that has won President
