Thrilled Spectator.
By Charles E. TroceweN

It is good to find those who sense that
much good comes from such small hap
penings.
It is possible to cheer ones self up
no end by deliberately looking for such
matters. There are many, and often
they are put in small paragraphs. in
the newspapers, but they are there just
the same.
It is a good reading habit to look for
them. In the aggregate they loom large,
though at the time the event or happen
ing seems little. Many readers today say
that newspapers are too full of awful
happenings, forgetting that the papers
are simply fulfilling their duty to the
public by telling us what is going on.
both bad and good.
The good is there, as this small in
cident of the white dog shows. We can
find it, if we try and its peruSal has
a cheering effect. Stories about animals
are always appealing, and mostly show
humanity in one of its better aspects.
Everybody loves a dog, many like cats,
and birds Little children exert uni
versal appeal. All papers carry feature"
stories. from time to time, about hu-
manity at it's best. These happenings.

the story is there. just the same. and

the day when the robin was regarded
as sort of journalistic joke Snug

to print an editorial about the first

Presidents Motives

David Lawrence has sounded q most
timely warning with reference to our
impending economic collapse. which
prompts the writer to ask: Could the
Presidents decision to retire be based on
some inside knowledge of approaching
disaster?
Taxes already are at the saturation
point and people are compelled to fall
back on their savings and controlled
credit. The Presidents current budget
calls for $14 billion deficit with SITS
billion appropriation for foreign aid.
But if the estimated tax collections
should fall short, say SIG billion, would
we not end up $50 billion in the red?
Could it be that the President contem-
plates such an eventuality?
Mr.. Truman, the experienced politi-
clan, we'll knows that we are likely to
have foreign aid programs for the next
20 years-if not forever. The dollar
diplomats believe that friendship can be
bought; business supports foreign aid
Fundamentally because it provides
ready market for our surplus goods and
agricultural products and, of course, Or
ganized labor supports it, since it pro-
vides high level of employment. And.
moreover, the Europeans are clever
enough to siphon more and more.
The President also may have realized
that, regardless of the United Nations
and the stupendous amounts spent for
foreign aid, it would still be necessary to
defend Europe with American troops
that the unwilling European nations
and the defunct U. N. wouldn't put 20
div. sionS in the field
It could also be that he is deadly sick
of the foreign policy in the Far East
forced upon him by his opposition-that
he wants no more American blood on his
hands. We certainly cannot believe
that Harry the fighter isn't equal to a
handful of tax collectors and his "me
too" Republican opposition.
Farewell and good luck, Mr.. President.
Whatever your opposition may say, you
were in good conscience.

Glen Burnie Murder Case

It was a good day for it-April 1.
A letter that day in The Star, Nickel
din Makes a Hit" signed Constant
Reader, is quite sickening.
Surely Constant Reader couldn't have
been so constant this past year. He
must have spent it locked in closet or,
perhaps, working for McKeldin. The
Star has in the past year published
numerous articles on McKeldin's par
doning of convicts, or paroling same.
And now convicted murderer has his
life ahead of him because this conscien-
tious exposer of wrongdoings, the Gov
ernor of Maryland, would not accept the
findings of court as final in the Glen

Scientific Prank

Scientific Prank
Certainly all progressive and open
minded people should give due praise
and honor to all worthy achievements
in our physical spiritual, and intellec-
tual fields. But when presumptuous
pseudo-scientific curiosity threatens to
tamper with the spiritual fundamentals
of Gods order for mankind, some pro-
test may we'll be in order.
The implications of "Test-Tube HUI
mans Predicted :" March 28) are
challenge to our moral and social senses,
to say the least
It would seem that such confusion
of the elements and processes of human
generation might be less mark of
genuine progress than of sheer disregard
of the basic, spiritual concepts of sex,
marriage and childbearing. Most people
who still respect these fundamentals of
life, as God Himself intended will.
believe, regard such daring processes, not
as scientific progress, but unethical
pranks. .

such little things as domestic wages or

workers. The old clincher in the suf-

worse than men have done. Well, they
have been in there with us long enough
now to know the ropes. We are much

they have not counted at all, or they
have contributed but little on the up

Who Writes of Spring

Who writes OF Spring must dip his pen
Into green loneliness again,
Must bare his heart to thrusts of gold
That rise from Uinter's frozen cold:
Attune his ears to aDaveS of song
That sweep in when the dusk is long:
Must raise his eyes to stars that seem
Enchanted ,Dith an April dream:
And knoW the feel OF iOind and rain,
The fragrance OF fowering lane;
Must Wedr an drnor lest he be

Nominotes Another Hoover

Now that Mr.. Truman is out OF the
race and the Republicans cannot offer
better man for President than the
one 1 wish to name, I proudly present
]. Edgar Hoover, real American. He
has proved through the years that the
welfare of our country comes first, last

of the successes in prosecuting the Red leaders

Inflated State Department

And now the State Department will
need All employees in Japan! Such a
trend will most certainly extend and
expand imitation. And that is just one
more step along the road toward max
ing this country another Soviet Repub-
lie. To be sure, this proposed lark Of
the State Department lacks the mag
nitude of the steel workers demands.
But hand in hand, these two groups
would travel toward the fellowship en-
gendered by the 10-cent dollar, just over
the horizon.
1t would seem to be far more patri-
otic gesture if the State Department
would reduce by half it's present payroll

would very likely double its efficiency.

Gators Drill
For Georgia
Tech Saturday
By The Asseeiatad Press

Florida may be ready for Geor-
gia Tech Saturday-if it rains.
The Gator practice field, soaked
by two hours of heavy rain Tues
day, gave Quarterbacks Fred Rob-
inson and Rick Casares plenty Of
practice in handling q slippery
ball.
In Atlanta, Coach Bobby Dodd
of Tech predicted the Florida team
would test his players with its de-
fensive line. Tech has beaten Flor
ida 16 times in the 2S-game series
and three games ended in ties.
The Tennessee Vols held lengthy
passing and kicking drills in Knox
vile. Pat Shires and Dave Grit
fifth were called on for the passing
and kicking while Jimmy Wade
and Pat Oleksiak nursed knee and
muscle injuries. The latter may
not see action against Mississippi
State Saturday.
Mississippi State added another
name to its injured list Tuesday.
Linebacker Ollie Fairchild was
hurt in pass defense drill. The
Maroons worked on pass defense
and running plays against the
Tennessee single wing formation.
At Baton Rouge, Coach Gaynell
Tinsley watched his Louisiana
State team ,scrimf1age for an hour
on offense ands defense and let out
a sharp cry of pain.
"Today's practice" he moaned,
showed a very definite lack Of
sharpness. The Tiger offensive
must improve considerably if we
are to stay on the field here
against Alabama Saturday."
Practice at Tuscaloosa con-
firmed Tinsley's fears. The Tides
varsity showed well against LSU
plays with Bobby NARROW, Corky
Tharp, Bob Conway and Cecil In
gram all making good runs.
Tulane and Georgia played
against the tactics of each other
and Coach Raymond Wolf of Tu-
lane thought his teams defense
looked good. Georgia may be with
out the services of Dexter Poss,
defensive left end, Saturday. PosS
said a twisted knee was repairing
rapidly but trainers doubted he
could start. -
Kentucky got another hard work
out for its Southeastern Confer,
ence opener with Mississippi. Ken
lucky scouts have passed the word
that Mississippi has some of the
best backs in the conference. They
also praised Jimmy Lear, the

reefs the teams split "T" attack.
