Unoppreeioted Appraisal

Unopprecioted Appraisal
This is with reference to an article
in The Sunday Star entitled Robert
Taft-An Appraisal of the Man and the
Legend" written by Doris Fleeson.
With the ability as a writer which
she possesses, it is unusual to use it in
such way at this time.
Had Doris Fleeson heard the lesson
on Love" read Sunday, August 2. 1858.
in Christian Science churches all over
the world, she could not have written
as she did.
Respect for the departed and for
their families is all that remains to be
done. Let us do it.
Doris Fleeson'S politically partisan
pen is so we'll known for its "graceless-
ness cher word applied to Robert
Taft that little could be expected of
her in an appraisal of the Senator.
But I am amazed at The Star for
publishing four columns SO filled with
unkind, misleading insinuations re-
garding this outstanding citizen, on the
day when millions of Americans are
mourning for his death. Shame on
The Star!
Reader
Why, oh why, did Doris Fleeson write
a so-called tribute to Taft?
She maligned him during life, but I
would have thought she could have
curbed her vitriolic pen for the period
of mourning.
With her left-wing thinking, she
probably doesn't realize how true
Americans value Taft integrity.
n. M. King
Is there any reasonable explanation
for printing the Ratchet job Miss Flee
son felt called upon to pen about Sena-
tor Taft?
1t is impossible for me to express my
resentment to such an outrage.
Roberta Mccain
have long been a reader of The Star
and admired the even balance you usu-
ally maintain on local and national
questions. I have even reconciled my
self to the inclusion in your pages OF
comments by persons of varying views,
because 1 recognize your wish to pre-
sent to your readers a representative
selection of public opinion.
However, there are limits to this
policy. Those limits were far exceeded
when you printed the highly critical
appraisal of Senator Taft by Doris
Fleeson, an almost malicious attack on
a man before he is even in his grave.
This goes far beyond my idea of repor-
torial or editorial decency.
That Miss Fleeson should write an
article of this type does not surprise
me- That the Star would publish it
astonishes and diSmayS me!

Editors note: Miss Fleeson re-
spected and liked Senator Taft. The
Star did not regard her article as
unfriendly. nor has that been the
general Interpretation. That an at
tempt at detached appraisal of his
strong and weak points as public
figure has been interpreted by some

Our allies in the so-called United Ma
lions have all outlawed poison gas, bac-
terra and atomic bombs as weapons OF
war and want the United States to do
the same.
Inasmuch as these fake humanitar-
ians look to us to protect them from
barbaric aggressors, it seems that they
might have some concern for our well
fare and safety; but, evidently. such
is not the case. What do they expect
us to fight the heather. atheistic world
with? Do they want us to use bows
and arrows, or do they feel we can pray
ourselves out of any tough spots we get
into? Patricia Andrews.

Debt Solution

1t strikes me, though no financier.
that the 1912 per cent profit which the
Federal Government expects to enjoy
under the submarine oil-lease bill is
rather small. What happens to the
other 8712 per cent?
However that may be, can think OF
no better investment Uncle Sam could
make of his share than in retiring the
national debt. The $275 billion dollar
ceiling is already cracking. Congress
should make it mandatory that sub
stantial part of the aforementioned
profit be applied to papering the debt
ceiling with greenbacks.

Reds Train Leaders
To Take Over Latin
Areas, Wiley Says
By J. A. oLeory

Chairman Wiley If the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Commit
tee charged today that Moscow
is training agents in Europe she
hopes will be the future rulers
of Central and South American
countries.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery before the City Club of
Milwaukee, the Senator said
there is a Communist training
school repeatedly operating in
Prague, Czechoslovakia, which
is graduating literally thou
sands of Red agents and pour
ing them out through the un-
derdeveloped areas of thu
world"
He said reports also indicate
the bulk of the personnel for
this school comes from Latin
America.
Report OH Red Strength.
The Senator revealed that a
foreign relations subcommittee
soon will release a study of the
worldwide strength of the Com
munist Party, country by coun-
try.
He said the report will in
dicate the considerable extent
to which communism has un-
fortunately taken root practi-
cally right under our noses in
this hemisphere"
The Wisconsin Senator said
in country after country in Gen.
tral and South America the Com
munist Party is outlawed, but
he added that that does not
prevent leading Communists
from OCCUPYING key places.
Cites Trouble Spots.
Not far from the Panama
Canal. the Senator said, Com
muniSm has established strong
beachhead in Guatemala" He
also pointed to recent develop
ments in British Guiana, which
prompted the British government
to land troops. To some people,
he said, these developments may
appear as relatively isolated. But
it should be remembered, he
continued, that all communism
needs is beachhead from which
it can spread quickly.
Senator Wiley called attention
to the solidarity which has ex-
listed among the American re-
publics in the U. N. and appealed
for continued cooperation in
trade and other fields between
the United States and it's neigh
bors to the South.
