HOW TO ENFORCE
THE LAW
The Laurinburg Exchange)

The compulsory school attend
ance law has been a farce and a
Joke for forty years. The schools
and the courts either couldn't en-
force it, or they didn't want to.
But now comes case in which
the schools seem to be able to in
woke the law with full force and
effect. A man in Alamance county
has been jailed because he sent his
6-year-old child to school when the
school folks said he couldn't do it.
The school attendance law says
that child cannot enter school
for the first time unless he be-
comes six years of age by October
first. In this case the child was
six years old last November 4 and
his father keeps him in school. But
for that he is in Jail and says he'll
rot there before he'll take the
child out of school. He is wrong of
course, as he ought to respect the
law.
But the very interesting part of
it is that the county board Of edu-
cation, the school officials, and the
courts have all interviewed in this
case, when perhaps there are
scores of children in Alamance
County more than six years of age
who are not in the schools and the
courts, the board of education, and
the schools are perhaps doing just
nothing about it. The law is a
mighty force when it is convenient
to use it and impotent when peo-
pie just don't care.

ROAD WORK HERE

Preliminary steps for resurfac-
ing the highway from Whalebone
Station corner to Fl. Raleigh have
been underway for some time.
During the past week business
places and residences along the
highway have been concentrating
on the idea that the big mounds
of dirt in the center of the high
way really represent a necessary
step in the completion of hard
surfacing of the road, and not an
unsightly and awkward bit of ex-
ira handspring around tn e r
buildings.
With the aid of INFLAMMATION,

dicated he saw no logic in such
reasoning.
In opening his testimony, Mr..
AcheSon warned of the danger
that could result if each partner
delays its contribution to measure
what the other partners are doing.
His word of caution apparently
was directed at members of Con-
gress who want to spell out a
ratio Of American to European
divisions.
Aim Is to Deter Attack.
The Secretary of State also hit
at those who approach the prob
lem as though the chief issue was
to repel an attack after it is
launched on Western Europe. He
said the primary aim is to deter
an attack and preserve peace.
so" he went on, "our first pur-
pose-and this is something we
need to make absolutely clear to
our friends in Europe-is to deter
the aggressors from attacking Eu-
rope. Our primary concern is not
how to win a war after it gets
started, but how to prevent it,
and how to help Europe stay free
in the meantime"
Mr.. Acheson asked the law
makers to consider that the job
of protecting Americas security
against the hostile intentions of
Russia is three-fold, namely:
81. To prevent the outbreak of
war.
%. To prevent the Soviet Union
from accomplishing its aggressive
purposes by means other than
war.
''3.. To make certain that the
free nations will not be defeated.
if war is forced upon u.s.
Chairman Russell of the Armed
Services Committee pointed out
that Taising Americas troops in
Europe from two to six divisions
is TRIPPING its contribution, where
as the Secretary testified Europe
will only double its forces in the.
next year. He asked the wit
ness If he intended to convey
the idea that will be a long-range
ratio.
"Ohs mo sir, that is no formula
at ALL" MI. Acheson replied.
Unity Is Desired Goal.
Other highlights developed by
committee questions were:
l. Secretary Acheson is hopeful
Spain, Turkey and Greece can
be brought into closer cooperation
with the united defense forces of
Western Europe as time goes on.
/ 2. Mr.. Acheson agreed fully with
Gen. Marshall it would be most
unwise" for Congress to fix ratio
of American to European divisions
because no one can foresee what
the needs may be at some future
time.

Therefore, if the Red jet did
indeed fly away from a pursuing

preaching the so-called Mach y

for the speed of sound, which
varies from 761 miles an hour at

There was some belief the Red
plane may have been equipped
with an "afterburner." This de-
vice-a system of introducing fuel
into the exhaust pipe of the jet
engine and igniting it with spark
Iplugs-provides an added boost to
the pressure produced by the jet
engine itself.

So far as is known, none of the
F-86 types in operation in Korea
are equipped with afterburners.
There appeared to be some pos
sibility that the mystery plane

with an afterburner installed.

Is the Red Air Force battle
testing a new, a-highspeed jet
fighter in Korea?
American airmen, it became
known today, recently have caught
few brief glimpses of a mys-
terious, unusually fast jet fighter,
presumably well to the north.
where the Communist jet air force
prefers to make its sallies from
fields in the Manchurian sane
tuary.
Whether the fighter is an en-
tirely new design or an improve
ment on some known type, such
as the M1G-15 or the LA-17, is
not yet known. Because the
United States Air Force is not
yet sure, it has tabled tie Red
plane with an arbitrary type num-
ber. but without attempting to
designate it as a product either
of the design team of Mikoyan
and Gurevich (from which the
names MIG comes) or of Lavoch-
kin. Those two organizations are
Russia's foremost designers Of jet
fighter types.

elected representatives in Con-
gress have some voice in shaping
mot the policy (already embodied
in the North Atlantic treaty. but
the vital question of sending
troops to Europe" Secretary
Acheson agreed that splitting
legal hairs at this time will not
solve anything and that unity is
the desired goal.
AS he spoke, however, Senator
Taft, Republican. of Ohio was
on record as still believing Con-
gress should have a chance to
pass on definite agreement, fix
ing the manpower obligations Of
the United States and its Allies.
Senator Taft said he does not
object so much to the four
more divisions-100,000 men
Gen. Marshall said this country
plans to send at this time. The
Ohio Republican said he wants to
know how many may have to be
sent later, and how many the
other countries will put into the
integrated defense force.
"If we approached this problem
as though our sole concern were
how we are going to act after
Europe had been attacked, regard
less of the human cost, whatever
the devastation. then we can
scarcely. expect our European
allies to show much enthusiasm
for the prospects of the future"
said Mr.. Acheson.
Mood of Non Resistance.
This kind of strategy drives
our friends in Europe into a mood
of non-resistance, a mood of
'neutralism,' which is for them
and for all of us, a shortcut to
suicide"
There were definite signs, how
ever, that Defense Secretary
Marshall weakened the drive in
Congress to put a limit on the
number of American troops to
be sent.
Gen. Marshall made an i'm
preston on some of the Demo-
Gratis who have been inclined
to consider some limitation.
Senator Douglas, Democrat, of
Illinois, one of this group. said no
one could quarrel with plans call
ing for no more than six divisions

ready in Europe.

be expected to send troops to
Europe before an act of aggres-
sion occurred.
A few minutes earlier, the Iowa
Republican read from the 1949
treaty hearings a question he had
put to the Secretary as to whether
the United States would be eX-
pected to provide substantial
troops in Europe prior to an at
tack.
Senator Hickenlooper quoted
Mr.. Acheson as having replied
the answer to that question is
a clear and absolute no."
Secret Commitments Denied.
Senator Hickenlooper said if it
had not been for that assurance, a
reservation requiring Congress
sional approval of troop move
ments to Europe would have been
offered to the treaty.
Mr.. Acheson told Senator
Hickenlooper he thought the
Senator was asking him whether
the treaty contained a definite
commitment by the United States
to send troops. He said his answer
to that was mo" then and is still
mo" today.
The Secretary had vehemently
denied earlier to Senator Smith,
Republican of New Jersey, that
there are any secret commitments
on troops that have been entered
into since the treaty was ratified.
He insisted that each treaty nation
/ is free to decide under it's consti-
tutional processes what it's con-
tribution to mutual defense shall
be.
The Secretary told Senator
Hickenlooper that if his 1949
question about troops was intend
ed to get from him a prediction
as to what might become neces-
sary, he probably would not have
been so didactic" in his negative
answer.
Military Expansion Cited.
However, I believe I would
have answered in April, 1949, that
I did not believe a substantial
number of troops would be neces-
sary," said Mr.. Acheson, adding,
that many things have happened
since then to increase the danger
to this country.
In connection with his forecast
that Western Europe will double
its combat forces in a year, Sena-
tor Johnson, Democrat, of Texas
brought out that the United
States plans to increase it's over
all military manpower in the next
year by only one -third-from 2.5
million men to 3.4 million men.
Senator johnson also brought
out that members of Congress
have permitted the President to
