"HOME IS WHERE
THE HEART IS"

Adjournment by October 20 is
still the bright beacon that urges
Congress on to a feverish activity
that no lesser goal can inspire ~. q.
even though no one has yet put
forward any convincing reason
why, in this day and age, Ameri-
cas- top governing body should
fold up at any time.
1t is generally admitted that
there will be some loose ends.
Since it seems doubtful that the
Administration can get a favor
able vote from the Senate on the
appointment of DR.. Jessup to the
UN General Assembly, adjourn
ment is likely without action on
the matter. In this case, it is eN-
pected that the President will give
DR.. Jessup an interim appointment
| This would constitute a definite
| Truman victory over the will OF
| the peoples representatives, since
Jessup could serve under the Law
until 80 days after the start CT
the next session on January 3. In
all probability, the UN General
Assembly sessions will be over by
that time. Another interim ap-
pOintment might go to Miss Frieda
Hennock, nominated by the Pres
ident as Federal Judge for The
Southern District of New York
and who has become a storm cen
ter in the Judiciary Committee o
the Senate.
These are the most obvious ant
immediate instances in which ad

like abandonment of the American
people. And, as we suggested las

more situations between now an

AN UNDERMINING PROCESS

The British medical fraternity is over
whelmingly opposed to England's version of
socialized medicine. Various reasons are be-
hind this. One of the most important is that,
under policy of cradle-to-the-grave alleged
security, there has been an alarming decline
in the sense of family responsibility and in
dividuaI duty. Young people who can afford
it no longer help aged and sick relatives
they just let the state do it all. Another rea-
son, reliable reports from England say, is
that this attitude Of mind has also spread
to many doctors. The civil servants give
all the orders, and there's nothing much for
the doctors to do but go through the mo-
tiOns of practice in purely routine fashion.
There are no incentives to work hard, to ex-
pertinent, and to seek new horizons of med
ical knowledge. 1t is inevitable that such a
situation should exist under socialism. 1t is
an undermining process-fOr the doctor and
for all others who are enmeshed in the dreary
system. And what is true in England would
surely be true here if we should ever adopt
the Administrations compulsory health in-
surance scheme, along with the kindred in-
dependence-destrOying measures which are

much better place for campaign
ing than the old home town.
WHATEVER HAPPENS is
GOING TO BE OUR FAULT
Public opinion polls in England
are reporting a weakening of
British enthusiasm for Churchill
and his Conservatives. And ap-
parently the Labor party gains
have been made at the expense of
us Americans, whom they have
made the whipping boys . prob
ably because of the excessive
Dragging we've been doing over
the Voice of America about our
wages, our possessions and our
living standards. Also, the Labor
ties claim we are "atOm-happy,
and only their party will be able
10 keep us from knocking the chip
off Joe Staliu's shoulder.
While this may not be very log
ical, or even make sense, it ap-
pears to have provided the sadly
needed diversion for the party that
has plunged the once-proud Bri-
tish Empire to the depths of dis
solution and poverty; that has lost
India, lost it's grip on Australia and
New Zealand. given Canada a new
spirit of independence, lost the
oil of Iran, ignored the smOlder-
ing hatred of Egypt that has now
burst into fame and taught its
people that they do not have tC
work to eat and PRACTICAL!
that they do not even have to eat
The hate-America gimmiCk ha!

NO CENSORSHIP FOR US!

The Presidential order permitting civil
ian Federal agencies to mark documents
''tOp secret" is an instance of the well-in-
tentiOnal type of laundering that leads to
tOtalitaranism.
The first fruit of the order was an an
nOuncement that anything which embar-
asses the OPS is security information"
not to be published The OPS announcement
was rescinded but it points up one of the
dangers of censorship.
The President says he issued the secrecy
order because newspapers and magazines
had published $50 of the nations secrets.
But reporters at Mr. Truman's press con-
ference showed him that these sO-called "se-
crets" had been handed out by agencies al
ready authorized to prevent publication.
This points up another basic fact-that
governmental agencies are only too eager tC
publicize anything creditable to themselves
or favorable to their propaganda purposes
If an agency wishes to give itself pat on
the back, or to scare the public, it seeks pGO
licity. On the other hand, if information
tends to discredit the bureaucrats, the ten
dency is to mark it "top secret" on the
ground that publication would advertise
weakness.
Guarding essential secrets is a difficult
task-nOt to be accomplished by giving ev
cry petty bureaucrat the right to set VI
censorship.

it clearly stated that 20 cents out of every

um's fleet" But building navy
ships in miniature has begun to
pail.
Avery wants to make an authen-
tic model of the most famous ship
of all-.the one that Noah built.
Avery has his passport ready and
plans to leave on an expedition
which he says ''has been planned
secretly for more than three years. /"
The explorers will head for Mt.
Ararat, where the Ark is supposed
to have come to rest after the Great
Flood.
Avery says the hackers of the
expedition have good reasons to
believe they have discovered the
petrified remains of the Biblical
ship atop the 16,915-foot mountain.
The adventurers hope to reach
eastern Turkey where snow and ice
cover Mt. Ararat most of the year.
Avery is reluctant to discuss the
expedition except to say:
There have been a number of
reports that there is something I'D
there. 1t could be Noah's Ark, pre-
served under the ice and snow all
these years and suddenly exposed
by an upheaval in the earth.
"Or for all I know, it could be a
house on top of a mountain"
But if it is the famous ship, Avery
hopes to be on hand to fashion the
first authentic model of Noah's Ark.

meat dishes is popular way to
get them into family meals. Miss

canned tomatoes over a pot roast
about an hour before the end of the

to help tenderize the meat, and
they add flavor to the gravy. For
extra flavor, add a very small
amount Of garlic and just a trace
Of thyme along with the tomatoes.
