Letter To The Editor

Dorset Hollow
Dorset, Vermont
To the earnest people of America
Ladies and gentlemen
Sisters and brethren.
Then and there we will be
gathered together for the sole
purpose to elect Eisenhower pres
ident of the United States.
We all know it's time to change
the oil after twenty years. The
old car is running bad. We are not
only going to change oil but we
are going to change the brand
from Truman to Eisenhower and
that isn't all from Democrat
to Republican.
We do declare to elect Eisen-
hover for better or worse, rich
or poor. Answer is, I Will.

Unfortunately, it is the "v1ce versa"

are deeply interested "in a cessation of the
bloody war in Korea" the Communist paper

in addition to promising to make the trip, had
also pledged himself to do everything he could
to bring the conflict to an end.
Bitter experience warns against embracing
fair words from any Soviet source. In this
instance, however, the tone and content of
Pravdas editorial merit some attention. For
not only does the article refrain from abusive
attack on the 'President-elect; it presents him
to the Russian people as one who is pledged to
try to end the Korean war pursuant to the
wishes of the American people. This seems to
run counter to the current hate-America propa-
ganda campaign, and it is just possible that it
may signify some hope on the Kremlins part that
a change of administrations in Washington will
facilitate a settlement of the war.

many persons fail to realize it.
Here is the know-hoW:
Just wash the face. first in hot or
warm water. then in cold water.
In other words, the usual morning
ablutiols will do more than just keep
your face clean.
In Washington, D. c., the ordinary
wash will help keep the nose open.

thing to be wished, in this vicinity.

As Provdo Sees 1t

The first Russian reaction to General Eisen-
hower's election has appeared in the form of
front-page editorial in Pravda, the Communist
Party organ. 1t is interesting on several counts.
For one thing, it is phrased with less-than-
usual offensiveness and it is not wholly mac
curate appraisal of the factors which contributed
to the Republican victory. AS Pravda sees 1t,
"the electorate voted not so much for Eisenhower
as against Truman and his administration, which
the American people consider responsible for the
war unleashed in Korea for high prices and
taxes. for corruption and venality in the state
apparatus" That is an analysis which overlooks
the fact that great many people voted for
General Eisenhower and not merely against
Mr.. Truman, as evidenced by the fact that the
general ran far ahead of other Republican candi-
dates in most States. On the whole however, it
Is a reasonably accurate commentary

Stond on Kotyn Massacre

It would seem to me that many people
have lost the point entirely in regard to
the Katyn Massacre. The real question
is not whether the administrator sup
pressed the matter or not, or whether
we appeased the Russians. Rather, the
question is why did we so grossly mall
treat the Polish people by official refusal
to acknowledge the Communist sponsor
ship of the deed? This, plus United
States and British insistence that former
Premier MikolajcZyk and other officials

ribbon for the Kremlin. I should think
that some of our national and U. N.
officials would be shame faced at the
thought of referring to the present farce
as the Polish government. It seems to
me that we initiated this farce during
Katyn, propagated it during Yalta and
sOlidifled it's success during the so-Cdlled
elections in Poland
Is the record that we have the best we
can offer to the people who fought

war; who fought so valiantly against the
overwhelming odds during the Warsaw
Insurrection; who were responsible for

The New Cabinet Takes Form

PreSident-elect Eisenhower has made two
more solidly commendable choices for his cabinet
In selecting Herbert BroWnell, jr, for Attorney
General and George NJ Humphrey for Secretary
OF the Treasury
Mr.. Brownel will bring to the Justice Depart
ment post the qualifications of proved ability as
lawyer and practical experience as politician.
1t is combination particularly appropriate at
time when the Governments top legal estab-
liShment has a prime responsibility to set it's
own house in order and to apply itself with
diligence but with care to safeguarding the in
ternal security of the Nation.
The young New Yorker has been a construc-
tive worker in the Republican cause for the
past decade. He has been a close friend of
Governor Dewey for many years. serving at diff
terent times as his campaign manager and as
chairman of the Republican National Committee
With Governor Dewey he was one of those most
instrumental in swinging this years presidential
nomination to General Eisenhower and his skill
at political organization and administration was
applied to the successful Eisenhower campaign.
He has shown qualities of personal incisivenesS
which should make him a valuable aide to the
President-elect in both policy making and ad-
miniStrative roles.
Mr.. Humphrey also will bring multiple quail
flcations. A lawyer by profession, he has become
a successful industriaist. He became acquainted
with government while serving chairman of
the Commerce Departments Business Advisory
Council in 1948. His study of postwar West Ger
man industrial facilities provided basis for a
War-reparations program that avoided the error
of impoverishing that nation while providing fair
restitution to France and Britain for their own
industrial losses.
The health of the national economy is
dependent in very large degree upon fiscal policies
devised and practiced by the Treasury Depart
ment. The interests of the business community
are the first to be affected by these policies. Mr..
Humphrey demonstrated during his advisory
service with the Commerce Department, as well
as in his private career, that he understands
these interests but is likewise aware of their
proper relationship with the national welfare.
The five cabinet officers now designated bear
out General EisenhoWer's reputation for choosing
associates who have demonstrated competence
in their respective fields

The Die-Hurds

When one considers the exhausting
tension OF modern American politics en-
gendered by television, radio, news
papers, magazines, coast-to-coast air
flights. and 'whistle-stops," any imme-
diate demonstrations of dissatisfaction on
the part Of the members of the defeated
party are readily understandable. BY
the same token, when one considers that
this country IS a democracy. any pro-
longed reluctance to accept the will of
the majority of the voters is utterly in
comprehensive.
Gov. Adlai Stevenson, being the true
American he is, would be appalled, by the
negative attitude being displayed by
some of his ardent followers in the
Washington area, for in his congratula-
tory message to President-elect Eisen-
hover he replaced his pride with humil-
ity and gladly" accepted the will of the
American people. Furthermore, he
pledged his support and urged the men,
bers Of his party to do likewise in order
that everyone might assist the man he
referred to as Gods instrument of
peace"
Sincere Stevenson adherents will man
ifest their loyalty by following the ex-
ample of their leader; the adoption of
positive plan of individual cooperation;
the sacrifice of personal pride for the
common good of all.

Mr.. Stossen and the MSA

In naming Harold E. Stassen to be the next
head of the Mutual Security Agency President
elect Eisenhower has chosen man who is amply
endowed with the vgor drive and admnistra-
tive skill needed for the job. It is not a small
scale operation. On the contrary in terms of
its international impact, the MSA-now headed
by w. Averell Harrman-is one of the most
important of all the subcabinet posts in the
Government. 1t is where the Nation runs its vast
program of foreign economic and military aid,
and it is especially significant in relation to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the
Western defensive build-up against the menace
of Red aggression.
Mr.. Stassen has been selected for this post
at time when some officials are predicting that
the new Congress will make deep cut, or strive
nightly to do SO, in the funds "a total of SIS
bion) that the MSA has tentatively requested
for the next fiscal year. Mr.. Harriman's success
sor will thus have tough job on his hands right
from the start unless the Eisenhower adminiS-
tration is amenable to such cut or unless the
new President brings his prestige to bear in
order to get what may be needed to keep the
NATO build-up from falling far behind schedule
In any event, Mr.. StasSen himself is not too
popular among some OF his fellow Republicans,
and that fact may tend to complcate his future
dealings with the Senate and House
However, even though there may be hostility
toward him in certain limited circles Mr. Stassen
has what 1t takes to see job through and to do
it well. At 45, and now soon to retire presi-
dent of the University of Pennsylvania. he has
already established a record of accomplishment
remarkable enough for men many years his
senior. Ever since 1888, when he was the young
est Governor in Minnesotas history, he has been
an American widely recognized for his eXcep-
tional capabilities notably his energy his articu-
lateness and his executive talents-all of which
he has displayed in endeavorS ranging from do
mestic politics to international affairs and edu
cation. The MSA, as it continues to carry out its
immensely important work, is likely to hum more
than usual under his direction.

@. Which is the largest natural bridge
in the world?-T. H. N.
A. Rainbow Bridge, Utah. 1t is
superb symmetrical arch of salmon
pink sandstone, curving in the form
of a rainbow. 1t rises 300 feet from
the bottom of the gorge of Bridge Can
yon on the north slope of Navajo Noun
tain, only miles above the Colorado
River in Southeastern Utah. The abut-
ments are 278 feet apart, and the width
on top is from 33 to AZ feet. 1t could
easily span the dome of the Capitol
in Washington. The Navajo call it
"Nonnezoshe," which means "stone
arch" Rainbow Bridge has been a ma
tional monument since 1910.
@. What is the origin of the Golden
Rule?-J. L.
A. The Golden Rule is the name ap-
piled to the rule Of life given by Jesus
in the Sermon on the Mount, and Is
found in the seventh chapter of Mat
thew, 18th verse. 1t is of interest to note
that similar rule was laid down by
Confucius, the Chinese philosopher, about
480 years before Christ, in the negative
form: What you do not like when done
to yourself do not do to others.
@. Are reading difficulties common
among adults?-T. D. S.
A. Yes. Although an estimated IS per
cent of what we learn is received
through the eye. most of it by reading,
It has been found that one-half Of the

He does not become either President
elect" or "President-designate" until
after the Electoral College has cast a
majority of its votes for him.
There are Senators-elect and Repre-
sentatives-elect, because that is direct
decision by a majority of the voters
But it will require an amendment of the
Constitution to provide President-elect
until the Electoral College has voted Or,
in extreme instance, the House of
