For the Russians are winning

Here is how such a "com-

patches from different parts OF
the world in the last few days,

people of the whole truth:
!. Indo-C China - Communist
forces approximately 200. 600 in
number are modified for action.
The Associated Press on Janu-
airy Is said:
1.-THE Communists have made
it plain that Southeast Asia is
what they really want-Indo-
China, Burma. Thailand. Ma
laya and Indonesia. Control Of
this Asiatic treasure house would
enable them to cripple the West
ern Powers economically, point
a sharp spearhead toward In
dia; and the Middle East and
supply themselves with quanti-
ties of needed oil and rubber.

agree. a highway would be
opened to the rest of Southeast

Just as these ideas were being put
to the test, Young set out on a tour
of the Orient. He took slow boat to
China - or, rather, Yokohama; the
trip, on a freighter with a small
passenger list, meant three weeks at
sea.
The route taken was along the
Great Circle, which carried the ship
right up along the coast of Alaska to
the Aleutians before it followed the
curve of the earth down to Japan.
Berlin vs.. Long Island
BEFORE he left, Young told the
boys at RCA that he'd be listening,
as far out in the Pacific as he could
pick up the signal of the Long Island
station.
In San Francisco the signal, trans
mltted by Morse code instead of the
present-day telephone wires, came
in clear as a bell. For the first few
days at sea, it was quite sharp.
Then it began fading, intermit-
tently, and in between came the sig
mails of the Berlin station, clearer
and clearer.
About two weeks out, Young could
hear every signal from Berlin, but
not a peep could he pick up out of
his RCA project.
So he sat down and wrote the boys
back home at RCA a blistering letter
which he mailed from Yokohama.
Evening star., 1952-10-26

The letter pointed out that every
body could hear the Berlin station,
big as life, clear off in the Aleutians.
but nobody could catch even a faint
peep from Long Island. Young
wanted to know how come -
wasn't the Long Island sta
ton the most powerful in the
world?
After all, he said, the Berlin signal
had to travel halfway across Europe,
clear across the Atlantic, clear across
the North American continent, pass
ing, incidentally, in a beeline over
Long Island and halfway out into
the Pacific.
The RCA's Rocky Point impulse
didn't have to 60 anything like that
far. Plainly, the RCA boys weren't
as hot as they thought they were;
plainly, too, the Berlin station was a
million miles ahead of ours.
Young never received a reply to
his letter. But when he returned
from his junket to the Orient, those
same RCA boys threw a banquet for
him, where he was presented with
the imposing globe which today oc-
cupies a prominent place in his Van
Hornesville Office.
Young was mighty pleased with
it, and he said so; but he couldn't
help wondering why they had
selected a globe to celebrate his
homecoming. He finally asked them
Evening star., 1952-10-26

why they had selected such an un-
usual gift.
One official handed him a piece of
string. 1--WE thought you needed to
find out just what the shape of the
world really is," he said.
Nov if you'll simply measure
across the globe with this string" he
continued, from the Aleutians to
Long Island, you'll notice that Long
Island is considerably farther away
than Berlin. We concluded, from
your letter, that you never had
noticed the earth is round!"
Owen D. Young solemnly meas
ured with the bit of string. Sure
enough, Berlin was closer, going
over the Arctic cap, with the added
fact of practically no static in the
Polar regions. plus the advantage of
the slight flattening of the earth at
the poles - no wonder he couldn't
hear anything but Berlin!
Stiu Learning
YOUNG has stacks of medals, awards
and honors stashed away in the
sturdy vault just off his study; but
he keeps them out of sight.
Only the great globe stands in full
view of all to prove. as he smilingly
puts it, that "it pays to be ignorant;
to remind him, at 78, that he's still!

things. The End

'Did he ever attend you at

asked. She gave no answer. After
exhausting our questions we ask
ed "is there anything else you

said rather pathetically and sadly
that 81 hope the people will help

She appeared motherly - hav-

assuming, worried and grief
stricken. She was arranged last

Holiday Motorists
Told To ease Up"

Safety Director H. N. Kirkman
today asked motorists and pedes-
trianS to cooperate with all traf-
fic authorities in foreStalling a re-
peat performance of the long La
Dor Day weekend last year, when
20 persons were killed in auto
mobile collisions.
Plans are being made to pre-
vent a wholesale slaughter Of men,
women, and children on the
streets and highways Of the state
during the celebration of the la
boring mans day this year. The
holidays begin at six pm. Friday,
August 90, and go through mid
night Monday, September l.
people must realize that traf-
fic volumes will be even higher
than during the ordinary weekend
since many of the celebrants will
travel to their favorite resorts for
the last holiday of the summer" I"
Kirkman said, "and everyone will
be trying to cover as much ground
in as little time as possible"
The Safety Director stressed the
fact that this tendency leads not
The Miami times., 1952-08-30

only to speeding under the worst
possible conditions, but to the
equally dangerous failingS of driv-
ing while drinking, exhausted, or
sleepy. He added that the holi-
day mood and sightseeing are
not conductive to the attentive
driving called for by the situa-
ton.
In many Florida cities, "Opera-
tions Safety" sponsored by local
civic clubs in cooperation with
the Florida Highway Patrol, will
be conducted.
Kirkman added that his men
will be briefed shortly before the
long holiday to arrest all traffic
violators, repeating his orders Of
the July 4th observance that If
tive are to put them (motoriSts
violators) in jail to save their
lives, we are going to do just
that" Eleven persons were killed
in traffic accidents during the

Raiford, Fla. - The State Pen

Tuesday morning"
I was there because I wanted
to do a job first hand for the
reading public of America, gett-

wherefores and the what in rela-
ton to the Staying she admits re-
suited from pistol bullets fired
into the body of a prominent
White doctor, DR.. c. Leroy Adams
who was also Democratic Senator
Nominee from Suwanee, Hamilton
and Lafayette Counties in West
Florida.
AS I move on to tell you of my
talk with Mrs. McCollum I will
refer you to her as Mrs. Ruby,
who shortly after she had NOR
tally wounded the doctor on Sun
day morning, August 4, while
worship services were going on
in small 4,500 population COM
munity of Live Oak, admitted
that she fired five shots from a
pistol she is alleged to have car
ried to the slain doctors office.
Investigating authorities led by
the very cooperative Sheriff Sim
Howell and his deputies said that
one bullet struck DR.. Adams and
that a fatal shot hit him near the
heart, causing almost instant
death.

RUSHED AWAY FAST

Following the shooting the ac-
cused asSailant fled the premises
while two waiting patients, both
also colored, looked on in amaze
ment after they claimed they had
heard loud talk exchanged be-
tween the doctor and Mrs. Ruby.
The alarm was sent out hur-
riedly that Mrs. Ruby has shot
and killed DIR. Adams in his Of

sixty-seconds, not second more
and none less, Mrs. Ruby was on
her way with them at 90-mile
per hour clip for the state prison
where she was taken as a pre-
caution to what may have been
an ugly incident. The sheriff had
not received any threats of Mrs.
Ruby or himself, but for reasons
of making some corrections in
press releases shortly after the

Howell had Mrs. Ruby out of Live
Oak and to Raiford so fast until
if hostile and irate citizens had
wanted to do her harm, they GER
tainly would not have had time
to dc so.
On hearing the reports of the
incident at Live Oak, I left jack
sonville with another newspaper
man and photographer. We hur-
ried to Live Oak by car. We
found the town quiet, dark and
Just about everything closed with
the exception of an almost empty

quiries, but most of these went
for naught because nobody was
brave enough to talk.
We learned whileMh Live Oak,
that shortly after the Staying, Mrs.
Ruby's husband, wealthy farmer,
tobacco farmer, extensive land
holder, Samuel McCollum, ST.,
was notified of the tragedy while
he sat at worship in his church In
Live Oak. He left right then. He
packed what he could gather up
hurriedly and hustled off by car
to Ocala with three Of his younger
