More Adjectives Needed
BY Olive A. Adams

We like to boast about how comfortable
and convenient we have made our modern life
and how we are certain to leave our children
stream lined, healthy world IN which to live
That's fine But, if we are not careful, our
children will be literally at a loss for words in
which to express their appreciation. We seem
to be using up all the good ones to describe
the commonplace and extol the mediocre.
In pounding QUE millions and millions of
words yearly in praise of everything fr m
motor cars to cosmetics we have wrung our
vocabulary dry. Gone are the choice phrases
we used to trot out only for very special peo-
pie or occasions.
Time was when, if you referred to a per-
son as distinguished he was Just that an
individual who had reached the heights; an
inspiration to young and old. A man of dis
tinction' these days may not be any such
thing, but he may have doled himself up to
look the part and so he gets the label. And
it is pinned on him quite freely, so that by
now we have forgottei what the term really
means
The word shocking" used to convey vio-
lent reaction to given situation. Now it's
shade of pink.
"A truly great performance was a phrase
reserved for the likes of PaderewsSi or ToS-
canini. Now the words often refer to the emot-
ing of grade actor in grade B movie, or
to the operation of the latest number to roll
off an automobile assembly line. In fact, we
live in an age of great" things great"
cigarettes, great" toothpaste, and great"
beer.
Fabulous" now there was a word!

Mack is the pastor of the Lone

In his first worship services, our
pastor said Il am on your side
and will always go to the bat for
my young people" He has done
just that
He renders services in a way
that people always seek his ad-

knows just the right words to
say. Many times he is called at

responds willingly.
He is sincere teacher. He
teaches the way we should live,
not the way YOU should live.
His sincerity inspires his congrc'

that gives the feeling that one is
alone with him He is a good
sport and dependable. He is slow
TO anger, never gets mad when
things go wrong, but always finds
a way to work them out in

Italy, YugosIovio and Trieste
Rome Regards Transfer Of Zone A as Recognition
By u 5. and Britoin of Her 1Lno!ienobIe Riahts'
Constantine Brown

ROME, Italy (By Air MaiD.
The Italians vow that Octo-
ber 8 will remain a red-letter
day in their history because it
marks the formal recognition
by America and Britain of
their ''inalienable rights" in
Trieste. And it is up to Tito.
they say, to yield gracefully or
force a military showdown,
which does not scare them.
The Italian people seldom
take any issue seriously. Even
communism is taken lightly.
But. Trieste is an exception.
For generations these people
have been looking longingly to
the day when the unity of their
country will be completed by
the addition of that symbolic
city.
The creation of two zones in
that territory, after the spec
tacular defeat of Mussolini's
would-be empire, left them
with the hope that some day,
after Italy had paid the pen
atty for defeat, the beloved
city would be returned to the
mother land.
And October 8, the American
and British announcement
that this would be done
created enthusiasm seldom
seen among these enthusiastic
people.
The decision to return Tri-
este to italian sovereignty was
not an ION the spur of the
moment" action. 1t had been
discussed with the Rome gov
ernment for several weeks as
it had been discussed with
Tito, repeatedly since Anthony
Eden's visit to Belgrade last
spring.
If we are to believe Amer
lean and Italian official ver-
sionS of this affair, the Yu-
goslav President had agreed

of Zone A. He warned the

he would have to make some

The 154-Yeur-OId Loqon Law
Repeal Is Urged for A-lncIusive Act That Bans Toll

ernment or any Of its agents
or subjects.
There are many organiza-
tions in America which have
felt free to interpoSe their
influence with the diplomatic
representatives of other coun-
trieS-often with the intent
of helping to bring about a
peaceful solution of existing
disputes or controversies with
the United States. Yet such
well-meaning efforts, unless
authorized in advance, could
be the subject Of prosecution
if the Logan Act were en-
forced.
Then there are instances
when foreign diplomats seek
out Americans and frankly
discuss existing situations in
relation to disputes with the
United States. For any Amer
ican to advise a. foreign gov
,ernment in such an, informal
chat at luncheon ,or dinner
becomes an offense under the
Logan Act unless permission
has been granted by our "Gov-
ernment."
This is one of the laws that,
if passed for the first time
today. would be greeted with
cries of thought control" and
conformity" For it is a law
that plainly would restrict free
speech and the freedom of the
press, since a newspaperman
who wrote an editorial criti-
cizing the policy of the Amer
lean Government and sent a
copy of his newspaper to a
foreign government could
technically be charged with
violating the Logan Act.
It is high time Congress ap-
pointed a committee to repeal
useless laws-and the Logan
Act is certainly one of them.
It would be desirable to have
a law that prohibited any
American from representing
himself as authorized to speak
for the executive branch of
the United States Govern
ment in any communication
with a foreign government,
but the present law goes far
beyond that restriction.

Joint Chiefs Dodging Mr.. Dodge
Budget Director Puts Constant Unrentting Pressure
On Military to Cut More From Defense Costs

ate into the Air Force. The
word is that the Wilson budg-
ct testimony next year will
have very much more force
and conviction because he is
doing some private practice
on Mr.. Dodge.
The three services them
selves anticipate sporadic cuts
or changes as a result of the
travels of the new chiefs.
They do not believe that the
budgets major outlines will
be drastically altered.
This means, if correct, that
next years figures will gain
be dominated by the balance
of force concept which has
kept Army, Navy and Air
Force on speaking terms so
far and also kept split pa
pers by the Joint Chiefs from
reaching the White House.
That concept will be un-
avoidably tested, however,
when the atomic defense bro
gram is shaped. The inventive
minds of each service are all
ready busy with ways and
means to keep their branch
on top or adapt it to the new
weapons. Congress can be ex-
pected to get into this act in
a big way with each service
having it's defenders.
The guideposts of the past
indicate compromise solutions
in which the Air Force will
profit. the Navy hold its own
and the Army bear the brunt
of the changes.

The President and A. Godfrey
Humility All Right in Its Place, But After All, President
Isn't Working for Arthur; He'll Campaign Next Year

will meet his obligation to his
sponsors. He will hardly dare.
of course, to follow Godfrey'S
practice of kidding the prod
uct, although the temptation
to do so may sometimes be
terrific. The candidate beside
him on the platform won't al
ways be the Presidents favor
ite cup of tea.
And since. in spite Of our
best efforts, Godfrey's name
has got back into this dis
cussion, there's another thing
that might be said. The Presi-
dents innate modesty is partly
responsible for the position he
would like to take-but won't

right in its place, but the
President should remember
that he isn't working for
Arthur.

If you talk to the ambaSSa-
dor Of any foreign country or
any member of his staff and
say anything that might pos
sibly influence the opinion Of
these diplomats or their con-
duct on any matter in contro-
versy with the United States,
you may be arrested and put
in Jail.
This is what the So-called
Logan Act really means. Yet
few Americans know about it.
and many of them are violat-
ing it every day both here and
abroad. For the ban applies
not merely to writing letters
but also to oral communica-
ton.
The statute has never been
enforced, possibly for the very
good reason that its conStitu-
tionality might be challenged,
but mostly because nobody in
our Government probably
would be able to determine
judicially whether the foreign
government has or has not
been Influenced by the COM
munication in question.
The Logan Act has come in
to the news many times, and
only a few days ago was cited
in connection with a letter
written by Representative
O'Konski, Republican, of Wis
conSin to President Rhee of
the Republic of Korea advis-
ing him to release the pris-
onerS who don't want to go
back to the Communists. Mo-
body probably would ever be
able to prove in court, even if
Mr.. Rhee did release the pris-
oners, whether such an act
would actually in the long run
help or hurt the measures of
the Government of the United
States"
Also the statute says COM
munication can be carried on
with a foreign government
only If it is done with per-
mission of our Government,
and the law doesn't say wheth-
er, for this purpose, Congress
is or is not a part of the Gov
ernment. Usually when the
executive branch is referred
