Briefly stated, arthritis means
rheumatism of the joints. When
a patient asks me to explain the
difference between rheumatism
and arthritis, I say rheumatism
includes all forms. When rheu-
matiSm attacks a joint, 1t is called
arthritis. When it attacks the
nerves, it is called neuritis; the
muscles-myositis, the fibrous tis-
sue-f1brositis and so on all down
the line"
I am quoting from the preface
of "Arthritis and the Rheumatic
Diseases" by DR.. Philip Levin,
professor and chairman of the De-
partment of Bone and Joint Sur
gerry, Northwestern University
School of Medicine.
While many physicians, includ-
ing arthritis specialists, still be-

even the miracle drugs cannot
bring about a cure. AFTER the

billiard-ball smoothness and have
attained a washboard roughness
one cannot expect much more
than to smooth over some of the
rough spots"

In answer to the inquiry Of
Mrs. N. r. S.. Silver Spring, re-
garding boxes to Korea. size lin
itations are those Of regular
parcel post packages. OF course.
the packages should be well
packed to stand especially hard
handling. A good way Of pack
ing individual items is in tin
cans, such as 1-pound coffee
cans. No glass or other break
ables should be used.
Durable items, such as small
items Of camping equipment. are
always useful; pocket knives,
carbide lamps, small gasoline
stoves, hand-warmers and other
items of this type are always ac-
ceptable. Watches are high on
the desirable list. but should be
selected for durability instead
Of beauty.
Foods should be selected with
the idea Of their being able to
stand a rough trip for at least a
month. Perishables should never
be sent. Coffee. preferably
ground. and not the instant
type, is a good food item, since
men in the field, particularly in
cold or wet weather, never seem
to get enough. Sugar and
canned milk. if desired. Any
other good foods such as hard
candies. hard chocolates, canned
meats and soups are also &C
ceptable. Cigarettes, pipe to-
bacco. depending on ones to-
bacco habits. are desirable.
Gloves and billfolds seem to
wear out and get lost at ter
rifle rate. Handkerchiefs and
T-ShirtS are also much desired.
1t should be remembered that
any piece of equipment that has
any wearing parts should be
equipped with q goodly supply
OF spare parts, such ashland
warmers, wicks wear out; gaso-
line lanterns. mantles break:
cigarette lighters need new
wickS and flints, which cannot
be purchased at the corner
drug store in Korea.
Current magazines and small
paper-back books are desired,
but do not send various news
magazines or other dated ma
terial since most of the news
magazines publish a Far East
ern edition in Japan, which goes
through Special Service chan
nels faster than the same infor-
nation could arrive from the
States.
Small durable items, such as
tooth-brushes, cheap mechani-
cal pens and pencils, pocket
combs, etc., are always desired.
Stationery is another great
need, because so much of it is
poorly packed. Put waxed paper
under flap of each envelope to
keep them from sticking.
The above items were the ones
that I found very hard to get
and most useful during my tour
of the Korean field. The situa-
ton might have changed con-
siderably and it would be well
to check and ask for really hon
est criticism from the soldier
himself. For instance, I re-
member one boy getting several
packages of fruit-fiavored Life
savers, just at the time that
Special Service was about to
bury the front-line soldier in
Lifesavers. AL he could do was
give them to the Koreans ana
thank the donor nicely.

'Crusode's' Mistrust
Threatens Institutions

After he had been indicted by
the grand jury, Hiss rendered
his resignation as president and
trustee of the Carnegie Endow-
ment. The board of trustees,
of which Gen. Eisenhower was
a member, declined to accept
his resignation and granted him
three months leave of absence
with full pay so that he might
defend himself. The general
was not present at the meeting,
but I do not find that he ever
voiced disapproval of this con-
crete expression Of trust and
confidence. In May Of 1949, the
month in which I gave my dep
osition, and again in December.
1949, after the first trial Of
Alger Hiss, the board Of trus-
tees, of which Gen. Eisenhower
was still a member, again voted
to reject Hiss resignation as
trustee.
Alger Hiss, Gen. Eisenhower
and Dulles continued as fellow
members of the board of trus-
tees until after the conviction of
Alger Hiss.
I bring these facts to the
American people not to suggest
that either Gen. Eisenhower or
John Foster Dulles is soft to-
ward Communists or even guilty
Of the bad judgment that the
generals running mate charges
against me. I bring them out
only to make the point that the
mistrust, the innuendos, the ac-
cusations which this crusade"
is employing, threatens not
merely themselves, but the in
tegrity Of our institutions.
I would remind Gen. Eisen-
hover of the wisdom of yet an
other general. One day. after
inspecting his troops, the Duke
Of wellington said: "They may
not frighten the enemy, but
gad, sir. they frighten me-"
I might observe to the general
that although his troops do
not frighten us they ought to
frighten him..
I do not suppose that the Hiss

institutions from Communist
espionage. sabotage and subver-
sion.
I know and you know that we
do not strengthen freedom by
diminishing it. We do not
weaken communism abroad or
at home by false or misleading
charges carefully timed for
election purposes. For I believe
with all my heart that those
who would beguile the voters by
lies or half-truths, or corrupt
them by fear and falsehood,
are committing spiritual treason
against our institutions for they
are surely doing the work of
their enemies.
In the end such tactics serve
directly the interests of the
Communists and of all other
foes of freedom.
Even worse, they undermine
our basic spiritual values.
For in one final accounting,
what is man proflted if he
shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own Soul?"

case eXhausts the arsenal Of
accusation with which the gen.
erals high command hopes to
obtain victory. But these things
can tell you about myself and
they are on the record. In
1943 during the war after lead
ing an economic mission to
Italy I warned against the
spread OF Soviet influence in
the Mediterranean. In 1945
and 1916, just after the war, I
engaged in constant and heated
debate with Soviet representa-
tives in the United Nations in
support of the interests of the
United States. At the same
time I made many speeches to
groups throughout the country
urging that America arm and
grow strong to check the men,
ace of Soviet Imperialism. I
repeatedly pointed out that ap-
peasement doesn't ~ work. In
March, 1916, for example,
said to an audience in Chicago
that: Russia and Communism
are on the march. d.. We must
forsake any hope that she is
going to lie still and lick her
awful wounds"
This was not long after Gen.
Eisenhower had told a House
committee: Nothing guides
Russian policy so much as a
desire for friendship with the
United States" AS late as June
of this year he said there is no
more reason to fear the 100 mil
lion backward people living on
the Eurasian continent than
there is to fear polly-wogs SWIM
ming down a muddy creek"
would never have believed
that a Presidential contest with
Gen. Eisenhower would have
made this speech necessary.
never would have thought that
the general in the closing days
of this great campaign would
have chosen such voices to speak
for him.
It may well be that the gen.
eral has been misled by his lack
Of experience in civil life. This
is not a war; it is a political
contest in a free democracy;
and the rules are different. We
have always considered it to be
the responsibility of candidates
to promote wider understanding
of the true issues-and not to
stir fears and to spread suspi-
cionS.

Eisenhower and Dulles
Showed Faith in Hiss

The facts are that the gen.
eral and Mr.. Dulles both
demonstrated a continued per-
sonal faith in 'Alger Hiss in
circumstances which imposed
on them as circumstances
never did on me-the obligation
to make a searching examina-
tion of his character and back
ground.
In December, 1946. Hiss was
chosen to be president of the
Carnegie Endowment by the
board of trustees of which John
Foster Dulles was chairman.
After Hiss was elected, but be-
fore he took Office, a Detroit
lawyer offered to provide Mr..
Dulles with evidence that Hiss
had a provable Communist rec
ord No such report or warning
ever came to me. Under date of
December 26, Mr.. Dulles re-

Dulles said:

you refer to, but I have con-
f1dence that there is no reason
to doubt Mr.. Hiss complete
loyalty to our American insti-
tutions. I have been thrown into
intimate contact with him at San
Francisco, London and Wash

stances I feel a little skeptical
about information which seems

Is New York Lawyers
Attack Gov. Stevenson
On Hiss Deposition
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. PA grour
of Is New York lawyers say Gov
Stevenson 'is fairly subject tt
criticism" for giving a deposition
that Alger Hiss had a good repu-
Itation.
The lawyers issued a statement
yesterday challenging an October
IA statement by % lawyers from
several States who condemned
criticism of the Democratic presi-
dental candidate for his deposi-
ton.
The deposition was given in 194s
at the first trial of Hiss, former
State Department official charged
with perjury for denying before a
Federal grand jury that he passed
out Government secrets for a pre-
war Soviet spy ring. Hiss is serving
a f1ve-year prison sentence.
Gov. Stevenson has said he con-
sidered that giving the deposition
written testimony was the duty
OF any clClzen, ana even more I'M
portant in his case because he is
a lawyer.
Last night in Cleveland, the
Democratic nominee repeated that
he did no more than was required
OF him as part Of the American
judicial system. He added:
"At no time did I testify on the
issue of the guilt or innocence of
Alger Hiss. AS I have repeatedly
said, I have never doubted the

No Reason to Expect
Restraint From G. O. P.

If the general would publicly
embrace those who slandered
George Marshall, there is GER
tainly no reason to expect that
he would restrain those who
would slander me.
The Republican vice preSiden-
tial candidate has been going
around the country attacking
me for saying in a court depo-
sition that the reputation Of
Alger Hiss was good. The junior
Senator from Wisconsin will
doubtless continue and expand
this attack. And let us always
be clear who is directing this
attack and where the RESPONSE
bility lies. AS the Republican
vice presidential candidate put
it last Monday. Gen. Eisenhower
sis the captain of the team"
Senator Nixon added signif1-
cantly: With due regard for his
team members and their abili-
ties, he is calling the plays"
Now what are the facts about
my deposition? In the words
of AL Smith, lets look at the
record" I had known Alger
Hiss briefly in 1888 when I
worked about five months for
the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration in Washington,
where he was also employed.
I did not meet him again until
IL years later, in March of 1945,
in the State Department. I saw
him intermittently from March
of 1875 to March of 1916 in the
course of our official duties. He
never entered my house and I
never entered his. I saw him
twice in the fall of 1947. I have
not seen him since.
In the spring Of 1949 I was
requested by the lawyers for
Alger Hiss to appear at his first
trial and testify as to his repu-
tation. I refused to do so because
Of the burden Of my official
duties. I was then requested to
give a sworn, written statement,
taken under order of the court,
with regard to his reputation as
I had learned it from others.
I said his reputation was
"good"-and it was. I didn't
say it was very good" I didn't
say he was a great patriot; I
didn't say any of the things
the Wisconsin Senator says I
said. I said his reputation was
good" so far as I had heard
from others, and that was the
simple, exact, whole truth, and

A Fundamental Duty
Is to Testify Willingly

I am a lawyer. I think that
one of the fundamental respon-
sibilitieS not only of every citi-
zen but particularly of lawyers
is to give testimony in a court
of law and to give it honestly
and willingly. It will be a sorry
day for American justice when
man, particularly one in public
life, is too timid to state what he
knows or what he has heard
about a defendant in a criminal
trial for fear that the defendant
might be later convicted.
would point out that of the most
distinguished members of the
American bar declared last week
that in giving this deposition
I had done what any good citi-
zen should have done under the
circumstances" In this list are
several leading supporters of
Gen. Eisenhower.
And I might add that there in
your own State of Ohio a Re-
publican Congressman was re-
Gently convicted for unlawfully
receiving political contributions
from his employees. Before his
conviction, your own Senator
Taft appeared and testified that
this mans reputation was "ex-
cellent without question. Sem
ator Bricker appeared and
testified that his reputation was
very, very good" And Repre-
sentative Joseph w. Martin, jr.,
Republican minority leader,
testified that "his reputation
was very good"
1t is obvious that my testi-
mony in the Hiss case no more
shows Softness toward Commu-
nism than the testimony Of
these Republican leaders shows
softneSS toward corruption.
At no time did I testify on
the issue of the guilt or inno-
cence Of Alger Hiss. AS I have
repeatedly said, I have never
doubted the verdict of the jury
which convicted him.
But while the brash young
man who aSpires to the vice
presidency does not charge me
with being a Communist, he
does say that I exercised bad
Judgment in stating honestly
what I had heard from others
Evening star., 1952-10-24

about Hiss reputation. "Thou
shall not bear false witness" I"
is one of the Ten Command
ments, in case Senator Nixon
has not read them lately. And
if he would not tell and tell
honestly what he knew of a
defendants reputation, he would
be a coward and unfit for any
Office.
The responsibility of lawyers
to cooperate with courts is
greatest of all because they are
officers of the court and Sena-
tor Nixon is a lawyer.
He has criticized my judg-
ment. I hope and pray that his
standards of Judgment" never
prevail in our courts, let alone
our public life in exalted posi-
tions of respect and RESPONSE
bility.
These are the plain and simple
facts of my connection with the
Hiss case. I would suggest to
the Republican crusaders" that
if they were to apply the same
methods to their own candidate,
Gen. Eisenhower, and to his
foreign affairs adviser, John
Foster Dulles, they would find
that both these men were of the
same opinion about Alger Hiss,
and more so. And more i'm
portant, I would suggest that
these methods are dangerous,
not just to the Republican
candidate, but to the very pro-
cesses of our democracy.

verdict OF the jury which con-
victed him"
Gov. Stevenson has been as

can vice presidential candidate.
for making the deposition.
After Senator Nixon opened his
attack on this issue, the group of
20 lawyers defended Gov. Steven
sons action as what any good
citizen should have done under the
circumstances" This group of
lawyers included both Republic
cans and Democrats.
Most of the 16 lawyers who is
sued yesterdays statement identi-
he'd themselves as Republicans.
The Is said the statement by the

and conveyed the impression that
Gov. Stevenson was required by
court order to give his deposition"
THAT was not the fact" the
statement by the 16 said. They
added that a court order was is
sued only to permit Gov. Steven
son to testify by deposition instead
of in person.
The % lawyers had said that
while Gov. Stevenson gave the
deposition voluntarily. he did it at
the request of the Hiss defense,
not on his own initiative.
The New York group of 16 said
lawyers understood that there was
a very great" danger that Gov.
Stevenson's testimony might be
accorded undue significance by
the jury" because it came from
an important public 1lgure."
