1t would be fatuous for any
one to assume that the tax
payers of America will con-
tinue to pour money and re-
sources into Europe unless
encouraged by steady progress
toward. mutual cooperation
and full effectiveness. Ameri-
ca can not continue to be the
primary source of munitions
for the entire free world. To
do SO would be militarily un-
sound.
Moreover, the United Sta

expenditures without endan-
dering her own economic
structure. The soundness of
that structure is of vital con-
Germ to the entire free world,
for its collapse would be a
Notwithstanding tragedy.
National and combined
staffs (have) the great respon-
sibility of eliminating every

ton and in size and design of
equipment. We must be fear
full that we do not prove that
free countries can be defended
only at the cost of bankrupt

Eisenhower detailed some of
the successes and failures of
SHAPES first year, and then
declared:

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
BY Hazel Brunnon Smith

The writer agrees enthusiast
tically with the Republican
Senator who said President
Truman's Saturday nigh
speech was the best he ever
made.
Any speech in which Tru-
man bows out is a good one.
1t is typical of the Presidents
character that he chose a po-
litical dinner of the party's
faithful at which to make this
announcement.
II is also characteristic that
he made the announcement in
such a way that the papers
could not carry it Sunday
morning. He chose that me-
thod in an obvious attempt to
embarrass the newspapers
and make them look pretty
silly carrying accounts
of the speech (Which had

nouncemnt of his political de-
mise.
How little can a man get?
A measure has passed the
Mississippi Senate placing {
ceiling of $4,000 on the
amount any one county in the
state could receive from the
"a cents of the Z cent levy
disbursed to the states 81
counties from the gasoline tax
funds. This cuts the amount of
gasoline tax refunds received
by ten of the states largest
counties and gives all other
counties an across the board
increase of $4,000.
The measure, in order to be-
come law, must be passed
by a three-fifths vote of the
House of Representatives since
it is revenue measure.
We hope the measure is
soundly defeated in the
House despite the fact
that Holmes county is not one
Of the larger ten counties af-
fected.
This type of legislation is
indicative of how our think
ing has become colored and
warped by the New Deal
It's another bit of evidence that
we have among us a great
many people who think along
the lines of taking from those
who shave" and dividing it
among those who have not"
The present formula of re-
funding tax monies to the
county is based upon the pop
ulation, area and number of
vehicle registrations - which
seems obviously fair.
To take money from these
counties with more people
who pay more taxes and give
to the poorer counties is no
thing more than a form of
state socialism.
We hope all of our Holmes
county representatives will
vote against this bill when it
comes up in the House.
Voluntary jury service for
women has been adopted by
the House of Representatives.
Women should be allowed to
serve on juries-to deny then
that right is to deny then
full-fledged citizenship, Mis-
sissippi is one of the few
states in the union which de.
MES them this right.
Whether Mississippi womer
want to serve or not is some
thing else we doubt it very
much.
Neither do the men.
Yet, we'd have a great up
rising if some Communist
came in, took over our gov
eminent and denied us the
right to trial by jury. All of
us, men and women, would
fight for that right.
Why don't we think more
of it when we are called on
for jury service?
Lack of interest in our court
procedure is responsible many
times for unsavory conditions
in communities throughout the
land.
In his report on the first
years operation of SHAPE,
military headquarters for the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
