TRYCVE LIE

The resignation of Norways Secretary General of
the United Nations Tygve Lie represents the sincere eff
forts of honest to end the Korean Mr. Lie in
his resignation attempts to place the responsibility for
continuing the fighting squarey the shoulders of the
Soviet Union.
While do not believe Mr.. Lies resignation will
have the effect he hoped it would feeling that he bases
his expectations the hope for honorable actions by the
Russians nevertheless it must be regarded as an exam
pie of unsefhness and devotion to the of peace
1t is interesting to note in this connection that Mr.
Lies resignation brought attacks from both the right
left wings. The Moscow radio said that his resignation
revelation of his complete political bankruptcy
The Moscow radio also accused him of being agent of
aggressive circles in the United States and said his
tons in this capacity had aroused indignation all over the
world.
Thus the Moscow radio and the Soviet propaganda
line took the occasion of Mr. Lies sincere effort in behalf
OF to portray this act proof that Mr. Lie had been
conducting his duties in an improper manner
This is always the Communist line and reveals the
futy of expecting anything honorable from the Soviet
leaders.
Senator Pat McCarran, Nevada Democrat, said af
ter the resignation that the had result of dis
closures of alleged Communist ties of United States cit
zens employed by the United Nations And Mr. McCar-
ran added the resignation, "t looked good but it
was hollow"
Mr.. Lie himself said: ''It has been terrible walking
around feeling that the deadlock in Ko-
rea might have been the fact that one of the member
states ussa) has refused to recognize the Secretary
General In the long run, bear that kind of
pressure Thus, Mr. Lie bowed to the tactics of brutal
dctatoria and thoroughly aggressive country.
We admire the unselfishness of Mr. Lies decision
although afraid will accomplish little toward

around specializing in offending
others. However, some of the finest
men I've ever known have acted
like despotic gods when they find
themselves amongst more primi-

And large crowds of men, whether
they are Americans, Germans, or
English, have a tendency to be-

We've mad trouble right here in
Key West with groups of sailors.
Not because there was anything
wrong with the men themselves
but because this tendency to bully
crops out when any large group
gets together.
You'll find the same thing in
college towns. You'll fine it in mill
towns when an outsider walks in
amongst a bunch of mill hands.
And you'll find it within ladies'
circles sometimes if an unknown

realizing where she is.
Another thing that lends toward
such tyranny is Power. Power is
what brutalized the GeStapo. Pow
er is what makes the Soviet Secret
Police so inhuman. The destruction
of Power amongst select groups
has always been the way of Ameri-
can life and it explains our human
ity, our social advancement, and
our happiness.
True enough, to allow power
rings to be set up would increase
our stature among nations. If a
city allows such dictatorial rule
it often advances beyond other
towns. But its residents lose in
happiness and security.

Picking Adams
AS Aide Was
A Smart Move
BY JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON R-Gen. ElSen-
hover did himself q favor when
he picked Gov. Sherman Adams
of New Hampshire to be assistant
to him as president. 1t may turn
out to have been his smartest
move so far.
Not because he picked Adams.
But because he acted so fast in
recognizing he'll need lot of help
when he takes over the presidency
in January, both in advice and
running the government.
Eisenhower ought 20 live longer
with an. assistant beside him to
shoulder some Of the work. One
man couldn't do the job alone. 1t
would kill him If he tried.
Presidents Roosevelt and Tru-
man both had White House trouble
shooters. Roosevelt had Harry
Hopkins. Truman for a while had
Clark Clifford. And John Steelman
now has the job.
But neither of those presidents
apparently had In mind the same
kind Of chain-of-command which
Eisenhower seems to be setting up
through Adams.
Adams said his duties, as de-
scribed to him by Eisenhower, re-
quire him to be an overall CO.
ordinator Of the various executive
agencies, serving as liaison man
between the White House and the
agencies and Congress.
This alone will keep a lot of
people off Eisenhower's neck and
out of his hair. It's another way of
saying Eisenhower wants Adams

not masters. These same towns
watch any particularly strong bus
mess concern, politica, group, or
ganized effort. They know that by
giving such outfits an inch, they are
going to lose q mile.
So - in answer to my readers
protest, / was not trying to cast
insinuations but merely felt, and
still feel, that ! was stating un-
equivocal facts.
While We're On The Subject
There is one place in which a
man can be trusted with unlimited
power - that place is withir his
Soul, provided he gains his power
from God.
Such a paragraph might sound
crazy unless the reader has devot-
ed some thought to Psychic power.
It can be good and it can be evil.
For instance, in Hindu religious
philosophy, Yoga will almost in
variably bring power. But there
is a point when the yogi may be
so overcome with personal self
glorification that he switches his
aim from a closer union with the
Universal Soul and practices the
Yoga system to gain superiority
over his fellowmsn. Tie same is
true of Christianity. -.
Any religion can teach you how
to gain power. Every tenet, every
doctrine has been Set-up for the
purpose of giving mortal man an
opportunity to overcome adversely.
II is a two-edged sword that a
human being can adopt for his
own purpose should he become so
vainglorious as to forget God. In
the long run he would lose, Of
course, just as did Lucifer but he
would bring much unhappiness in
to many lives.
For these reasons l say that the
power that one has within his
Soul must be derived from God.
Practice church tenets but never
forget that God is what you want.
Any student of theology can men,
ton scores of cases where I'M
scrupulous practitioners of the
Holy Gospel have lost sight of their
own insignificance and turned their
powers to personal gain. Ask your
own priest, minister, or rabbi.

(Eor SAM DAWSONl

NEW YORK W-Are we going 10
have steel figuratively running
out Of our ears" in the next year
or so?
This has peen a satent fear
among some steel producers ever
since the industry aimed at a goal
of 120 million tons of annual steel
making capacity by 1854. D.
AS the bulk Of defense need is
met, the thinking went, steel will
pour out Of the new plants in a
flood more than ample for all
civilian use.
Now-despite 4 record steel pro-
duction pace-there is spreading
belief that such fears may be
groundless.
Some industry leaders are be.
coming cautiously optimistic. And
not just for the short term, either.
Latest evidence on The over-ex.
pansion question came this week
from the president of the second
largest steel company In the ma
ton, A. B. Homer of Bethlehem
Steel.
Studies made for Bethlehem,
Homer said, show that since 1900
there has been a close correlation
between steel putput ard the figure
for gross national product, cor
rected for initiation. Gross national
product (GNP) represents the ma
tons total output Of both goods
and services.
Measured against GNP and,
since 1919, the Federal Reserve
Board index of industrial produc-
tion, Homer said, the new steel
capacity is not out Of line. He
commented:
Both GNP and the FRB indiceS
reflect the facts of our semi-garri.
son economy. But they also reflect
the growth Of our population and
the advance in our standards oi
living. Undoubtedly. they reflect
trends in increased consumption Of
steel that none Of US expect to see
reversed. The tempo may change,
but the direction will not"
Sustained demand for steel was
noted by the magazine Steel. which
said steel men who thought demand
would taper off after the first quar-,
ter of 1853 now are inclined to push
the date farther back.
The Iron Age. metalworkins
trade weekly, today predicted
steelmaking capacity viii be close

mand for steel" as a factor in

ing distance Of its l2o million-ton
goal.

ducing more than 2.l00 900 tons
for the eleventh successive week

HAL BOYLE SAYS

NEW YORK R-T0day no man
in a nation of 157 million people
need go hungry. Somewhere there
is table at which he is welcome.
That may not be the most sig
nificant fact about this Thanksgiv-
ing Day. But it is doubtful if in
the history of the world a country
so vast could name one single day
during which its entire population
could be certain of escape from
mankind's oldest foe-hunger.
Thanksgiving is the 24-hour pc
riod in the year when all Ameri-
cans try to harvest mans great
est dream-peace amid plenty. No
American really wants to start 4
quarrel on this day, and the Amer
lean soldier in lands beyond the sea
hates to fight on it.
The idea of Thanksgiving is no
A m er "a n invention, and even
Pravda could hardly claim the Rus
slams found it first. It is as old as
the Bible. The first thing Noah did
after the flood abated was to give
burnt offerings of clean beasts and
clean fowl unto the Lord.
Practically every ancient people
had similar Sacrificial customs.
The British, beginning with the
sinking Of the Spanish Armada in
1888, have had special days of
Thanksgiving after weathering an
empire crisis or to celebrate such
joyous events as the 60th year Of
Queen Victoria's reign in 1897.
But over a period of three cen
turies the practice of an annual
day Of thanksgiving-fOrmally her
aided since Abraham Lincoln'S
proclamation of 1S64-haS become
peculiarly an American institution.
Now it is perhaps the most Amer
lean of holidays, because it wraps
all the other holidays in one.
On Thanksgiving Day the aver
age man thinks of his heritage Of
freedom, just as he does on In
dependence Day. His mind turns
to his loved ones who have passed
on, as it does on Memorial Day.
He ordinarily gets time off from
his job, as he does on Labor Day.
He has a feeling of spiritual graft
tude, just as he does at Christmas,
but it is a feeling limited TO no
one sect or religious creed.
On Thanksgiving Day even an
atheist can feel humbly grateful
that whatever power that created
him has also left him free to criti-
CHE the idea of there being any
God at all.
But ever since Gov. Bradford
proclaim e d the first Pilgrim
Thanksgiving in 1921, the day has
had a peculiar quality Of its own
a quiet JOY in being able to cele-
brate and share the bounty Of the
good earth under the benson Of q
supreme being. II Is unlike the
pagan harvest festivals because II
isn't q time Of riotouS revelry. II
is simply a time for US all to quit
complaining and be grateful for
what we have.
Most Of all il is q family holi-
day. the day when the clan gath
erS its members and lonesome
friends together and all know .
mutual gladneSS because they are
together. there is plenty eat on the
table, and ali the dark fears that
separate us on other days are out
of sight and out Of mind.
Thanksgiving is the day Of Amer
ican plenty without greed or envy
because there is enough for all Il
is a kindling portcnt Of that day,
however distant, when all peoples
WI enjoy a universal Thanksgiv-
ing Day. gratefully sharing the
endless riches Of a gloeal peace,
when no man sits down 70 an
empty table or hears the elamcr

Frontier Divides Friends;
Onlv The Geese Don't Care
sv RICHARD K. o'MALLEY

HAIDMUEHLE, Germany Up -
Two Czech frontier guards rode
slowly across the hillside, their
horses stepping jerkily through the
deep snow.
At the German inn here,
blacksmith and a tow clerk slipped
their drinks and stared out the
window.
There they go again." said one,
''Look. Behind them are two more.
On skis
The four Czech soldiers had be-
gun their evening patrol a thou
sand yards away.
THAT brook just down there"
said the blacksmith, turning to a
stranger in he inn, that's the
German Czech border. Inside it,
about so meters, you can see the
barbed wire. II is electrified, the
fence. They set up a big trans
former last summer.
The barbed wire stretched neat
Iy along the hill, pattern Of
dangerous black lace, beyond
which the two horsemen disap-
peared. The skiers veered off into
the twilight.
Their border guard was made
much stronger these past three
months" interposed a man in
leather jacket.
"Yes," said the clerk, "it was
right after the maneuvers. !
watched them with my binoculars,
maneuvering. A Russian officer
seemed to be leader of the whole
affair. II was the first Russian /
had seen in months"
A handyman, who had been lis
tening in q corner, walked TO the
window.
'See that house just this side
of the barbed wire, just inside
Czechoslovakia" he asked. THAT
used TO be my house. Now there
is nothing left but the walls. II
was in the dead zone, so they
wrecked ii. Wasn't that a nice
thing to have happen to me after
four years IN Russian prisoner

The men were quiet a few mo-
menis, then the blacksmith spoke:
Nobody has escaped to Ger

We know there is some smuggling

cent of them are poor peasants,
who work long hours in their rice
fields, in a hot damp climate. They
eat little else but rice, and often
not enough of that Men and women
wear simple dark gown reaching
below the knees, like a long frock

What is the opposition to the

is called Vietminh, which is entire

League for independence. The com
munistS here, as elsewhere in the
Far East, use nationalism as a basis
for popular propaganda. Ace Wet
mimi soldiers (many were forced

l94D, lacks experience and drive
The Vietnam army is still in for
nation, though many Vietnamese
fight in French units.
Many Of the politically minded
Vietnamese would like 10 see the
French connection cut outright
They're almost willing TO buy the
Vietminh package because of the
bright nationalist label and to for
get that the contents arc made in

The politically minded are a
small minority in Vietnam. Nine
tenths of the people want only to
be left alone, to grow their rice and

Meanwhile an estimated 100000

gathered on the border about ITO
