ton is that we will demand the return of the remain
ing planes and vessels, rather than payment for
them
That certainly is sensible position. How service
able the ships are, and what condition the planes
CATS are in, we do not know. But they should be
in our r6nds rather than Russias, whatever their
condition.

careful preparation, however, made
the big difference between defeat
and victory.
Both Hands and Fest
Sgt. ROLAND Mcdonald of Fort
Bliss, Tex, read in this column.
about a Marine colonel who en-
dorsed his state pension check over
to Pfc. Robert L. Smith, who lost
both arms and both legs in Korea,
then had his teeth kicked out by
a Chinese Communist. Sergeant Nc
Donald was so touched that he
wrote g check for SIS and asked
Sen. Lyndon Johnson Of Texas to
forward it to the quadruple TN
putee.
II was impressed upon me-"
wrote Sergeant Mcdonald, that
the Pfc. maybe has a little some
thing coming from most OF us who
haven't yet been sent to Korea.
l'At any rate, here is my attempt
to pay little of the debt that
the citizens of the country owe

Fame is Fleeing
Gen. Wild Bill" Donovan, war
time boss of the cloak and dagger
office of strategic services, learned
! the other day how fleeting is fame.
The general returned to his old
offices, now occupied by the sue
cessor outfit, Central Intelligence
Agency, and was stopped by a con-
scientious guard. Then a reception
ist politely asked him to fill out
a card giving his full name, ad-
dress and who he wanted to see.
Dutifully tie man who once ruled
supreme over this important office
obeyed.
Explaining Foreign Policy
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
got an education on the headaches
OF senator's at a private luncheon
for new members of the Foreign
Relations Committee.
Over the coffee cups, Sen. Guy
! Gillette, the white-haired solon
from Iowa, turned to Acheson.
: Every congressman has been
swamped with mail on foreign
policy he said. I've had 5000
letters alone on this topic since
Christmas. People are confused and
| bewildered. They want to know
what our policy is and why. The
hostility toward the state depart
mant can be traced right back to
the hewilderment of the people"
/ We'll, what should we do about
it?" Acheson inquired.
Tell the story over and over
again." was Gillette's advice. why
are our boys fighting in Korea?
Why do We need an army for the
/ de4ense of western Europe? Why
must we raise taxes and impose
controls and rationing for defense?
Tell the story simply"
I'VE are doing all we can, SEN
ator," said the Secretary Of State.
"Memters of the department are
! speaking as never before.
Il made % speeches in the last
10 days." volunteered one of
/ Achescn's aides.
Senator Gillette shock his head.
There are only two people who
carry the weight to be listened to-
the President and you, Mr.. Secre-
tary You must stump the country,
if need be, to explain and sell our
foreign policy
Note-real fact is that a Secre-
tary Of STATE almost has to be two
people-a politician, in order to
sell foreign policy to the public
and the senate; and a student of
foreign affairs, in order to decide
what that policy should be. 1t is
hard to find a man who can do
both.

Hamlet: Why does grapevine
mean a source Of information OF
gossip?-R. S.
Answer: The expression dates
from the War Between the States,
Unco onflrmed rllnor was said, deri-
sively, to have come by grapevine
telegraph" It corresponds to the
Navy's term "scuttle butt" i.e.,
rumors picked up at the ships
scuttle butt, Ior drinking fountain.
From M. H., Houston: No doubt
the men who have served on the
q. s. S. Brazos, and who have come
through attacks by enemy subs and
dive bombers, VIII agree that, ac-
cording to a Texas @legend, the
name Brazos has to them a particu-
lar significance.
AS told by early settlers, the name
Brazos "a historic river ofS Texas
had its origin when the first
Spanish explorers explored the
region. A monk and a small band
Of converts were pursued by hostile
Indians. They crossed the river in
safety, but the Indians were caught
by a sudden rise and were swept to
their deaths.
In gratitude, the little band sank
to their knees and offered thanks
for their deliverance, and the monk
named the river Ell Rio de los
Brazos de Dios, "The River of the
Arms of God"
Answer: Thanks. And, for the

Two thousand years ago the
talent" was a standard Of measure
It was used chiefly to measure the
weight of money.
How much was a talent worth?
That is a hard question to an
swer because the value differed In
various countries. There were gold
talents and silver talents. A gold
talent was worth much more than q
silver talent.
Among the Hebrews. it has beer
! figured, the silver talent was worth
So, ,176. The gold Hebrew talent was
worth Is times as much, or $32 $40
Babylonia seems to have been the
place where the talent first be.
came q measure. Later its ust
spread to Palestine, Greece ant
other lands.
As another question, we may ask
"How much did a talent weigh?'
Evening star., 1951-04-16
Uncle Ruy's Corner

In a rough way, We may say that
it had the same weight as a cubic
foot of fresh water-or 62A pounds
Water differs . little In weight ac-
cording to its temperature.
Nothing existed in the way Of a
world standard of weight in those
days. Even a cubic foot Of water
meant something different in one
country than in another.
The weight of an Attic talent
used in parts of Greece, has beer
figured at only 58 pounds.
Another old measure, the buShel
has been used in Europe and else
where for hundreds of years. The
name came to us from the French
language.
To this day there is trouble ir
