have to get a better story to
put over his broadened "cru-
sade."
He seemed not quite sure Of
himself in his new role. He as
sumed his usual judicial pose.
But he seemed somewhat frus-
trated as he reached out for his
flimsy fabrications, like q
drowning man clutching at
straws, and his "documenta-
tion," as he called it, certainly
was straw, consisting largely of
sentences taken out of context
Of writings by the men he was
seeking to traduce.
Altogether, it hardly looked
like the big act designed to
swing the election to the Re-
publicans on a wave of hysteria,
as it was billed. There was,
however, the usual hysterical
touch. policemen rough-hous-
ing and ejecting a college pro-
fessor who dared to speak up at

Joe, himself. carried only his
club of smugness.
If the Republicans win: the
election, it is suspected that it
would be for more solid reasons
than Joe McCarthy's mental
hoodlumism-at least it is
fervently hoped so. But he is
sure. in that event, to make a
claim for himself.
That is the long range danger.
It would give him more stand

For. it was Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower's release, through
his blessing of the Senator in
Wisconsin in plain. public view,
that set Joe Mccarthy off on
his present rampage up and
down the country. The general
has looked on in stony, if dis
turbed, silence.
The Wisconsin Senator is,
once again, a somebody of sorts.
His technique, and this is said
advisedly and not lightly, is
Nazi in essence.
It is the moderates in any
society, the middle of -the-road

lied most sharply in its writ
ers, such as the three distin-
guished writer's Joe Mccarthy
singled out--Arthur Schlesinger,
jr., Bernard De Voto and Archi-
bald MacLeish.
Joe is familiar enough with
tactics to know that the job
is to arouse the mob against
such, and thus smother the
voice of opposition.
It matters little that these
men happen to know more
about our country, its ira
dition, and its ideals than
Joe Mccarthy will ever know;
that they represent the best Of
our heritage, for they under
stand that heritage and its
meaning for the rest Of the
world.
what Is most disturbing now
Is that Joe Mccarthy Is taken
so complacently by those who
ordinarily would be expected to
rise up to the defense of our
tradition and our heritage. in
Guiding our newspapers. True
perception seems to be lost in
a welter of political PARTISAN
ship, in the winning of one
election, to be specific. when
what is involved is much more
important for all of our future.
Gen. Eisenhower ought to
understand that. too.
The tragedy is that he does
not seem to do so.

Then Mr.. Murray revealed
why the CIO is backing Gov.
Stevenson with plenty of money
and plenty of organized effort
in key States. He said:
THE recommendations Of
the CIO on political candidates
are made only after all the
facts are in. This year, our
recommendations were drafted
after we had studied the plat
forms of both the Republican
and Democratic parties-after
we had examined the record
and the experience and the
viewpoint of the candidates.
The viewpoint" of Gov. Ste
venson fills the bill for the CIO,
and Mr.. Murray isn't hesitant
in saying SO openly. The Demo-
cratic nominee, of course, pro-
fesses not to be bound to any
labor groups-he claims he
hasn't surrendered" But if
the Democratic nominee is
elected. he will owe bis victory
primarily to the CIO and to
President Truman, and he
would be ungrateful to both
and kill all chance for re-
election In 1856 if he didn't
follow the ''left wing" line and
use his influence to obtain the
passage of a one sided labor
law.
Mr.. Murray was able to con-
troll President Truman and pre-
vent him from using the Taft
Hartley Act in a strike that
eventually came and cost the
American taxpayers more than
a billion dollars. His speeches
indicate a complete confidence
that the CIO will control the
action of the next occupant of
the White House if the Demo-
cratic Party is continued in
power.

Also the Spanish government
is asking in all earnestness for
modern weapons to equip as
soon as possible at least one
Spanish division. Some money
is available since Congress has
earmarked $125 million for
Spain in the 1852 and 1858 ap-
preparations for the MSA. For
technical reasons, however.
nothing has been given to Spain
so far. The explanation Of
fered to the Spanish govern
ment is that Spain has very low
priorities and is placed below
Germany, which for the time
being has only blueprint army
without any cadres.
The Spaniards insist that
what may be described as a
training division must be
equipped as soon as we start
work on the air and naval bases
which our Joint Chiefs of Staff
consider essential for European
defense. Spain has % divisions
under arms and at least as many
trained reserves. But it's tanks
are of the 1884 type; it's anti
aircraft guns are about the same
brand; and some of it's few
trucks were captured by the
Blue Division from the Russians
in the last war. 1t also lacks
adequate lines of communica-
ton to move it's forces rapidly.
Franco and his advisers real
ize that it is not possible to
equip the whole army with the
amount appropriated by our
Congress. He is ready to allo-
cate substantial sums of the
nations national income for
improvement of the army's
equipment and communication
lines. It takes time, however,
to train men to man equipment
with which they are not fa-
miliar. Hence his insiStence on
creating one model division
which could be broken up after
a period of intensive training to
instruct the rest of the Spanish
ground forces.
Franco is confident that with
moderately increased American
help in the future he could pro-
duce almost every type of arma-
ment in this country. The $3.50
million trade agreement signed
with Germany in October pro-
vides the beginning of a heavy
industry in this country.
Strategic materials, such as
iron, mercury, copper, ETC.. exist
in adequate quantities here. A
trade agreement with Great
Britain assures Spain sufficient
hard coal. However, Spain needs
American steel, machine tools
and technicians to teach the
Spaniards the know-how of
arms manufacture. This is a

case for Senator Sparkmap in
these terms:
People of the North have
q certain suspicion of South
ernerS based on the provin-
cial assumption that all are
reactionaries but if anybody
can dispel this illusion once and
for all, John Sparkman will
do it.
IT have come to have the
deepest respect for this quiet,
dignified man from Alabama
and regard him as a liberal of
profound conviction and fear
lessness. Negroes of the South
know their true friends and
have given him their full sup
port"
Ironic it may be, but Gov.
Stevenson could have gone fur
ther and said that in the full
support which Negroes Of the
South are giving the Democratic
ticket lies the best hope that it
will prevail there this year
against the Eisenhower threat.
In Louisiana alone, $4,000 Ne
groes are expected to vote as
compared to $4,000 four years
ago with the great majority of
them pro-Democratic.
The reason lies in the changes
to which Senator Sparkman has
made a clear and consistent
contribution. This contribution

Thomas L. Stokes:

Joe Mccarthy has revamped
his act.
It's not near so hair-raising,
In fact rather dull to watch.
But it holds potentially more
danger than the straight Com
munist routine.
He starts out to tell what he
calls "the history of Stevenson"

President. But it turns out, in
stead, to be mostly about some
of the men who are working for

These gentlemen are not

struck some of the most effec-

Joe's eyes, is that they are iden-
tilted with real, honest-to-good-
ness American progressivism.

David Lawrence:

A big surrender" occurred
here this week-and Gov.
Stevenson overlooked it en-
tirely. 1t wasn't a surrender
to the Republican Old Guard"
1t was surrender instead by
the Democratic Old Guard
the Truman administration-to
an archfoe, John L. Lewis, and
his United Mine Workers Union.
The Wage Sterilization Board
wouldn't agree to approve fully
a certain increase in wages, and
the United Mine Workers Union
started a strike involving $4,000
miners. This was a strike
against the Government a
principle always denounced by
Democratic as well as Republic
can Presidents in the past.
But not a word came from
the high-minded and principle
defending Gov. Stevenson. Not
a phrase did he utter in de-
nunciation Of this use Of eco
nomic power to defy the Gov
ernment of the United States.
Meanwhile, President Truman
became alarmed. The miners
vote could be influential in
swinging electoral votes. The
miners have political influence
in senatorial as we'll as con-
gressional races. Not only the
miners but the retail stores
and other businesses in the
area are affected when there Is
a strike. The electoral votes Of
Kentucky. West Virginia, Penn
sylvania and Illinois-where the
miners are concentrated, with
some strength in Ohio and In
diana, seemed too important
to let go by default. So, Mr..
Truman quickly arranged be-
tween whistle stops" to get the
strike ended. What occurred at

South Carolina and Gov. Allan

They represent the Old South,
which finds in civil rights an
effective weapon with which to
fight the social and economic
programs which have so greatly
benefited the Negro. They are,
therefore, often in opposition to
such Southerners as Senators
Sparkman and Hill of Alabama,
Russell of Georgia. Kefauver of
Tennessee and Fulbright of
Arkansas, who generally support
such programs.
Yet the emotional content Of
the civil rights program pro-
posed by President Truman is
still so potent that men en-
gagged in a quiet, mortal struggle
for power at home close their
ranks on the floor of Congress.
Senator Sparkman, trapped
by a South in transition, has
not therefore made the contri-
button to the Stevenson cam
paign some of the amateurs at
Chicago had hoped for.
He may take some comfort
from the fact that Senator

long-range plan. In the mean
time Franco feels he must have
the equipment for at least one
training division.
Franco, like most American
military strategists. looks at the
capabilities of the Red armies
and not at the intentions of
the Kremlin. And he has pointed
out to our representatives that
the Russians could send para
troopers against Spain even be-
fore they overran France. The
mountain ranges of this coun-
try can make invasion by ground
troops very expensive. But the
many plateaus offer excellent
operational areas for airborne
forces.
Unless Spain has some mod
ern equipment and an adequate
communications system, this
vital strategic area might fall
into the hands of the Musco-
vites even before they could
reach the Channel or the ports
in the Lowlands.

sense of the American military

Raise To AUeraqe S5

More than $500 Allen county per-
sons, beginning early in October, will
receive higher social security pay
ments, in their old age pensions and
survivors benefit checks, as the re-
suit of social security amendments
which President Truman signed into
law this month.
In addition to the $500 Allen coun-
ty persons who will benefit, increased
payments also will go to 1,600 Han
cock county residents; $50 persons in
Hardin county, and $50 persons in
Putnam county.
Stanley T. Fauhl, manager of the
district social security office in Lima,
emphasized that no one needs to ap-
ply for the increased payments.

workers already are changing the
amounts on record cards, he said, and
it is hoped increased amounts will be
included in the October checks. IL,
in few cases, records are not chang
ed in time, the regular check viii be
sent, and the difference made up la
ter, it was pointed out.
Fauhl pointed out that altho near

will receive an increase, the addition
al amount will not always be divided
among all the members of the family
receiving checks. In some cases, the
entire increase will go to the retired
worker. aa s~a
Under terms of the law, most fam
lilies will get an increase of about SIS;

The coolest spot in Bluffton was
the site of the annual picnic held by
members of the Bluffton Saddle Horse
club on the summit of breeze swept
Fox Hill on Sunday afternoon.
The gala affair started at the
noon hour with a sumptuous picnic
dinner. Two farm wagons backed
end to end made up the table. The
wheeled vehicles literally groaned
with the load of food laid out for
the hungry throng gathered for the
annual feast.
Cakes and pies, fried chicken, sa-
lads, fresh fruits, luscious red to-
matoes, beans, gelatin, meats of all
kinds, and many other dishes of food
stuffs in ample quantities was suffi-
cient to stop even the most hearty.
To top off the repast huge
water tank filled to the brim with
red ripe ice cold watermelons added
the final touch TO the dinner. Young
sters and oldsters alike had their fill
of pop and ice cream, with FIVE gall
Ions of ice cream uneaten remaining
at the close of the days activity.
The picnic has been hid for a
number of years at the same spot.
Fox hill has always been pleasant
place to spend an afternoon and the
high bluff area is now owned by
Herr Bros.
Officers of the association which
staged this years successful picnic
and Golden Trophy Rodeo on Har-
mon field are: Harry Anderson, pres
ident; Arthur Swank, vice president; /;
