POLICY IN THE EAST

OLIC IN ne EAOI
EVENTS ARE moving SO rapidly throughout the world
that unless some definite effort is made to actually stop and
see where we are going we might find ourselves drifting along
without aim or purpose. And all Of this was brought to a head
at one o'clock one morning with the announcement that Cen
eal Macarthur had been relieved of his command in the Far
East. The news shocked everyone everywhere, and immedi-
ately people in the free countries took sides, either with the
colorful and almost legendary figure, or with the President.
1T IS 0 quite possible for anyone in a free society to
pretend that ne is oblivious to what is taking place. Today,
events in one corner of the world affect, in lesser or greater
degree, every other corner. It is i for this reason that London,
tor example, accepts the news of MacArthm's removal with
a sigh OF relief. Great Britain has urged appeasement, and a
locaizing OF the Korean War in order to avert a third world
war. 1t is the belief that if the China mainland is bombed, or
even invaded by former Nationalist troops, such would form
the pretext for a full dress Russian intervention.
WHEN ALL the excitement and drama of the news have
subsidized, clear-thinking people everywhere will then have re-
solved the issues, or had the issues resolved for them. The
choice which the President had to make was a delicate one.
1t was a matter of a national policy in the East as against
Macarthur. This nation was concerned with fighting a purely
local action TOR the purpose of pointing out to aggressor ma
tons that aggression is most costly. And it is felt that as of
now that lesson has been put across in Korea. Macarthur, on
the other hand, seeing things purely in terms of Asia felt
that the time had come to settle the differences between Com
munism and democracy in that part of the world. There was
no question that the political leaders in America could 90 no
further while their military leaders took a totally different ap-
proach in the East.
CERTAIN Congressman even spoke of impeachment
but that is out of the question. To begin with the President
is strictly within his Constitutional right and power in dis
missing any military leader who disobeys. Then, too, it would
be most difficult to bring to a head any type of issue which
could Justify even the beginning Of impeachment proceedings
IF NOTHING else, the dismissal Of Macarthur forced

the President to the air to de
fine and make clear the coun-
try's policy in Korea, SO that
everyone now knows what it
is, and what to expect, incIud-
ing supporters of the North
Korean ideas.

Rockets Lose An
Important Game
To The TrOjans

That old adage that you can't
win a basketball game without
making your foul shots seemed to
be the deciding factor last Friday
night when the Gaithersburg Tro-
jams took the Rockets into camp
by the score of AZ to 33. The con-
test took place at the Rockville
gym.
These two teams known for their
victories and scoring punch, met
for the second time to decide who
will represent Montgomery County
in the State Glass "B" playoffs.
Though the Rockets controlled
the boards through the contest
they failed to make the majority
of their foul shots and failed to
stop the Trojan's Buck White who
wallcped the Rockets for % of the
AZ Gaithersburg points.
A Rocket victory would have
put Maynard Haithcock's team in
a position to capture this playoff
berth.

provide constant supply of mon
keys of standard size, type and
physical condition for the re-
searchers to experiment with and
thus have common basis for
comparison of results.
No research of any description
Is carried on Okatie. That is
all done in medical schools and
college or university research
centers.
With research at an almost fever
pitch as the scent of victory grows
stronger, the foundation is bound
that the supply of monkeys shall
not fail. The animals are bought
from animal traders aboard and
arrive at the rate of 1900 or SO
monthly. They weigh between
three and eight pounds and all are
about the size of a large cat.
Shipments are made to 27 re-
search centers in lots of from two
to as many as rs monkeys, as
they are needed.
This monkey business is big
business. The Okatie installation
cost $225,000. Each animal costs
$25 to $35 delivered to Okatie;
and 1900 to 1900 are shipped
from here each month. A little
computation will show that the
March Of Dimes needs a big heap
of silver to finance just this one

BLUFFTON. S. c.. Dec. L.
There is a lot of monkey business
going on near Bluffton. People
down here have been talking about
it for some time. but this week
was the first time a reporter was
allowed in to see about it.
To be specific, a 40-acre tract
on the Okatie River, some u miles
north of Bluffton and hiding un-
der the name of Okatie Farms, is
the Ellis Island for thousands OF
monkeys from India and the Phil
ippines, their lives dedicated
henceforth to research for treat
ment of poliomyelitis.
Operated by the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis
|Okatie Farms is a receiving sta
ton for rhesus and cynomolgus
monkeys from India and the Phil
ippines, respectively. The chat
tering little fellows are kept here
for about three weeks, fed on a
scientifically planned diet into the
pink of condition and shipped out
to research centers conducting ex-
periments under grants from the
foundation.
Modern Monkey Business.
This monkey business Is as
modern as the air age and it even
has international overtones, diplo-
matte and otherwise. At the be-
ginning. in 1947, the monkeys
came into nearby Savannah, Ca,
by ship and were truoked to Oka-
tie Farms. Now, many of them

airlines operating there are toe
busy with military cargoes to ia

They come east by air, however
from the West Coast ports.
About the first public word said
about Okatie Farms came from
Basil O'Connor. president of the
foundation. in speech in Char
lesion November 20. He disclosed
officially what many persons
knew privately-Okatie Farms has
monkeys. The place has been
kept under wraps and visitors
were denied to avoid undue pub
licity.

Reams said, adding that Maumec
post Office received $243,972 in
postal savings, and Oak Harbor,
$71 ,673.
The main issue before the
House subcommittee at this time,
according to Reams, is whether to
eliminate detailed report listing
the postal savings deposits in each
post Office. The Post Office De-
partment presented their reasons
for favoring this elimination. In
two weeks representative of the
Bankers Association will state

In War Lauded By
Veteran Of Korea

This is the personal experience
of Maj. John r. Blackwell, Erie

been on active duty since 1910,
serving in the Panama Canal Zone,
Hawaii, European Theatre, and
Korea.
Speaking in behalf of the cur
rent Red Cross membership cam

message to members of the Port

MANY personnel of the Armed
Forces do not realize what the Red
Cross accomplishes because they
do not need assistance" Maj
Blackwell points out.
Maj. BlackwelPs experiences
with the Red Cross include its
around-the-clock assistance in time
of disasters, such as the surprise
, attack on Pearl Harbor, its activi
ties in a staging area in Scotland
and its intercesSion on his behalf
when serious illness struck in his
own family.
