NEW YORK, Jan. Is (INS)-
After debating pro and con with
myself whether to do so, I am
going to write about the PGA-Joe
Louis golf controversy in Cali
fornia. There are several reasons
why | shouldn't.
Let me say at the outset that to
me, the whole thing has the rattle
of a tempest in a teapot. Louis is
quoted as saying, "The PEA is
another Hitlers Horton Smith be-
lieves inthe white race like Hitler
believed in a super race"
If that sounds like Louis, John
Careron Swayze sounds like Joe
Frisco. The Bomber doesn't talk
that way and be sure that I have
talked with him as many times as
most and over as many years.
Understand, this is not to ques-
ton the quotes. 1t is to point out
theobvious that these are somebody
else's words coming from Louis
mouth. He sounded better when
he used his own. Or, at an rate,
words that fit his character as a
man, andthat he used sparingly,
simply and effectively.
It's a long way from here to
San Diego. Which is one of the
reason why I probably shouldn't
be putting my two cents into this.
These things are not easy to dis
cuss intelligently even when you
are close enough to them to, at
least, think you know the pertin-
ent facts. About this case, I don't.

He not only is earnest about his

To be realistic on the point, pro-

and at the end, not a soul but

The remarkable effect Of this

and the Importance in 1t Of every

musicians under his command.
The first part Of the program
was deceptive. for 1t showed only

Mr.. de Sabata In this music was

shaped with care and In accord

DR.. John M. Lynch diagnoses

"It's a psychological thing"

AS he explained it, the body's

Our bodies operate similarly,
says DR.. Lynch. Blood courses

'Offshore Procurement Is Seen as Spur
To NATO Nations Military Resurgence
By William Hines

difficulties in getting 1t into OPP
eration-dif1cultles encountered
both here and abroad.
On the American side, there
is the constant fear that money
or jobs will be taken away from
Americans by the program. In
a time of relatively full employ
ment. this objection is not much
of a hurdle. But if there should
be a lengthy slack period in
some industry here, the clamor
to take up the slack with NATO
orders would be deafening. And
1t would be justified, the Army
agrees. Charity begins at
home," Maj. Gen. John K.
Christmas. one of the Army's
top procurement officials, says.
''If men were starving in De-
troit we certainly wouldn't be
justified in funneling all the
business overseas"
Opposition is encountered in
Europe, too. Congress, in max
ing military aid funds available,
has specified that American
business procedures must be
followed. Some contract nego-
tiations have gone out the win
dow on the simple issue of
allowing American examination
of the books.
81 Billion Next Yeor
Gen. Christmas expects to
place something under 81 billion
in offshore procurement con-
tracts in the year beginning
July l if Congress doesn't hit
the budget any harder than it
has already. The great bulk of
this money will be in Mutual
Security funds, for the supply of
items to other NATO forces. A
much smaller amount will be
Army money, for the offshore
procurement of goods to be used
by the American military
services.
AS long as the Buy American
Act is on the books, there seems
to be no great danger of a re-
surgent European industrial
plant throwing our own fac
tories into idleness. The Amer
ican forces are generally obliged
to use American-made goods
when they can get them-and
in most cases the American
made product is superior to the
foreign.
And beyond the superiority Of
material and the protective pro-
visions of the law, there is an
other fact that makes the
threat" from abroad no threat
at all. That is that all signs
point to Europe's factories hav-
ing their hands full for years to
come taking care of just the
European end of NATO.

'Mr. Biff1e is responsible for
the discovery of the papers," he
said, "but it came about in a re-
markable way. He sent me up
here to the file room, early in
June, to find or make space for
some new files he wants to put
in. Right here. in this empty
space in the middle of the floor,
were two old file cases. standing
back to back and containing ex-
actly 780 drawers. They looked
pretty much like the cases you
see lining the walls there, but I
knew they were empty. I knew
it, say, but do you remember
the shotgun the man knew was
empty? I had a helper with
me, and I said. You can take
those two old cases out-the
drawers are all empty To show
him they were empty, I pulled
out a drawer at random. Do you
remember the man who fired a
gun up into a tree and a bird fell
down?
I'm the drawer I held in my

blew the dust off. which nearly
choked me to death, opened one

and saw it was signed G. Wash

straight up. whistled. and fell all
over myself checking the other
779 drawers. They were stark,
staring empty. Then began to
tremble a little, because, you see,
the papers would most certainly
have been thrown out if I
hadn't happened on them.
Il took them to Mr.. Biffle, and
said: I think you'll find these of
interest," He sure did. And so
did Mr.. Truman, when Mr.. Biffle
took them over to him. He kept
them three days.
How could they have been
overlooked all these years? I
have absolutely no idea. It's as
big a mystery as why I reached
for the one drawer among 780
that they were in!"
