Christmas Seal Sale
Keeps Your NeighbOr
AS Well AS You

Your neighbours health is your
business. Each year at this time
you make it your business by buy
ing the Christmas Seals of your
tuberculosis association. In sup
porting efforts to fight tuberculosis
throughout your community, you
protect your own health and that
of your family, the Maryland TB
Association points out.
Of course, you do everything in
your power to keep the members
Of your family in good general
health. You try to see that they
eat properly and get enough rest,
fresh air, and exercise. That will
help protect them against TB as
well. as against many other di-
seases. But it is not enough.
TB is a communicable disease
caused by a germ which is passed
or by people who have the disease.
The germ doesn't care how old or
how rich you are, where you live,
or who your ancestors were. 1t can
attack anyone. If TB announced
itself quickly with some kind of
skin rash, you could avoid contact
with it fairly we'll. But people can
have TB in the early stages and
look perfectly healthy. Often they
do not even suspect that they are
Ill and are passing on germs to
those around them.
For this reason, the control of
tuberculosis requires the coopera-
ton of al the people. You cannot
build barriers around yourself
alone which will prevent TB. You
have to be concerned with YOUR
neighbours health, with the health
of everyone in your community.
Your tuberculosis association
fights TB throughout the commun-
lty. 1t is an organization devoted
to protecting you and your neigh
oors from a disease which kills

10000 Americans in one year. 1t
works closely with local health
authorities and other voluntary and
official agencies in programs to
teach people how to fight TB, to
find the unknown cases of the di-
sease, and to work for the day
when the best techniques of modern
medicine and rehabilitation are
made available to all TB patients.
The Christmas Seals you buy to
support the association also pay
for national program of medical
research to find ever better ways
OF treating and preventing TB.
This is the program aimed to-
ward the eradication of tubercu
losis. This is what you pay for
when you buy Christmas Seals.

Last but not least in the ac-
tivity end of this department was
our annual turkey dinner. AS you
remember last year we took up
a collection at the banquet to make
the amount realized on the sup
per $4,000. l understand that we
have done better this year but I
will omit the amount realized so
as not to steal any credit from
the Chairman of Supper Commit
tee. The point l would like to en-
phasize by mentioning the supper
is the fact that in every money
making activity in which we have
participated this year we have
done better than we have in the
past few years, which leads me
to believe that the community as
a whole is taking more pride in
their Fire Department and is will
ing to reach a little deeper in its
pockets to give US the support
which we need.
Following are the types of
alarms that we were called upon
to answer: dwellings, 3; barns, 8;
chimney, 5; field and wood, 10;

Their Lobby at White House Emphasizes an Ancient Truth

sort of way, that that Kansas
Republican Congressman who
astonished the natives by get

The President said that was

for change who didn't want
the Government to spend
money on their districts.
He said he thought it would
be a good idea if they told his
Budget Director. Joseph Dodge,
about Tuttle Creek dam. He
instructed his secretary to
that effect and Mr.. Dodge
opened his door to them, too.
He said he was glad to meet
people who thought of ways
to cut down the budget.
When the Senators heard
about all this, they were in
clined to think maybe the
problem had been solved for
them. They had not been too
happy anyway at having to
choose between two warning

Military Takes Step Backward
Proposed Defense Reorganization Bad in Principle,
Though Personnel Selections Are Wise Ones
David Lawrence:

Selection Of a new set Of
members of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and a new chairman
does not lessen but rather in
tensifies the growing opposi-
ton to the proposed reorgani-
cation plan for the Defense
Department. 1t is the princi-
pie rather than the personnel
which is important in the
problem.
This plan. which Thomas K.
Finletter. formerly Secretary
Of the Air Force, says he re-
CARDS as a move toward a
German general staff" system.
would enhance the power of
the Chairman Of the Joint
Chiefs and make him a mill
tary boss over all three armed
services.
The reaction from the Air
Force to the appointment of a
Navy admiral as Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs has been ad-
verse largely because of the
assumption that such a chair
man can WELD extraordinary
powers over the Air Force.
Since Admiral Radford, desig-
mated for Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs, is to serve only
two years, it may be expected
that the reaction among naval
officers to the designation of
an Air Force general as chair
man two years hence would
also be adverse.
The new reorganization plan
IS excellent in its provisions
governing a consolidation of
civilian functions and should
lead to economies, but it is a
step backward on the military
side. Undoubtedly the admin
istration, in selecting Admiral
Radford to be Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs, believed that
this, would tend to mollify
those opponents of the new
reorganization plan who come
from the Navy, but actually
opposition is coming from all
three services because it is
not a sound military plan.
1t so happens that Admiral
Radford is one of the ablest
military officers America has
ever had and undoubtedly he

British Attacks PerpIex America
As in the Days Of Queen Victoria, England Knows
Neither Friends Nor Enemies, Only Interests

of one of Britain's great
statesmen, Lord Beaconsf1eld,
that England knows neither
friends nor enemies but only
interests, are even more true
today than they were in the
Victorian era.
But it was left to Mr..
Attlee to tell America where
it got of. Mr.. Attlee is a
butter" He prefaced his
speech with the words that
he is not anti-American but
:. And after having said
that. he began to explain his
strong objections to this
country. objections which rest
primarily on our political
system. Mr.. Attlee intimated
that he did not like our
Constitution, which was
framed for an iSolationist
state" He went on to tell his
listeners that because of the
checks and balances inherent
in our Constitution, the
Eisenhower administration
was really mot master in its
oun house." since Congress
was composed of members
whose primary interest is in
their own States. The former
Prime Minister, undoubtedly
remembering the $3.75 billion
credit he obtained for the
mere asking from the Ameri-
can Government in 1916, was
kind enough to say that "it
would be wrong to blame all
the ills of the world on the
United States, as it would be
an oversimplification to at
tribute the troubles in Egypt,
Indo-China, and Africa to
Soviet Vaccinations"
In his philippe against the
United States, Mr.. Attlee
showed himself we'll acquainted
with the stories published in
a number of American news
papers of the New York Daily
Worker type. He sprayed his
speech with references to pres
sure groups, the Chang Kai-
shek lobby. a mild attack on
Secretary Dulles and on Ger
tain" elements who want to
fight communism in China
and elsewhere. He was roundly
cheered by Conservative men,
bers as we'll as those of his
own party.

serving as commander of the
allied forces In the south of
Europe and has an especial
familiarity with the Mediter-
ranean. He made an enviable
record as chief of staff to
Admiral Halsey in the sea
battles of the war against
Japan.
This is an all-around team
of able men with global ex-
perience-a much better team
on the whole than has been
available to the President of
the United States since the
days of World War II. It is
a group competent to give mil
itary advice with a world per-
spective and to operate the
armed services effectively if a
big war should break out.
But a much more sensible
step would have been to have
made Admiral Radford Chief
of Naval Operations and to
have abolished the post of
Chairman of the joint Chiefs.
creating in it's place a post
of secretary general of the
Joint Chiefs, with Admiral
Carney in that job. AS a for
mer Deputy Chief of Naval
Operations in charge of logis-
tics and as an experienced staff
officer and planner. he would
have been ideal as the leader
of the joint staff responsible
directly to the heads of the
three armed services.
The reorganization plan now
before Congress has in it so
many vulnerable provisions
that it cannot be critically ex-
amined on the basis simply of
what able persons will exc
cute the plan but only with
the more important principle
in mind that a system is be-
ing established for a long Pc
riod of time. This system
could demoralize the spirit of
all the armed services by de-
priving their chiefs of less and
less voice in the higher coun-
ellis of the Government where
military policy is to be made
by a Secretary of Defense
and a military boss with a
general staff of his own.

Last October, a few months
before his death. Joseph Sta
lin predicted in a volumlnous
study of the world economic
situation that before long the
Western Capitalists" would be
at one another's threats and
that the present system of al
liances would collapse under
the strain of rivalries between
its members.
The major speeches made
in the House of Commons last
Monday and Tuesday by Prime
Minister Churchill and by the
leader of the opposition. Glenn
ent Attlee, were the first au-
thoritative indications that the
late Red dictator may not have
been far wrong.
Mr.. Churchill's speech was
couched in moderate terms but
the meaning was unmistakable.
He disagreed with the political
philosophy of the Eisenhower
administration in Asia and
also with our Presidents con-
cept that before we undertake
any conversations with the
Kremlin we must be in pos
session of some definite deeds
from the Muscovites instead of
vague propaganda words ex-
tolling the blessings of peace.
Mr.. Churchill pushed for a
conference between the leaders
of the great powers. without
any elaborate program or
agenda and without any pub
licity. 1t is probably diff
cult for Mr.. Churchill to ap-
preciate that President Eisen-
hover will never repeat the
actions of his predecessors
and enter into any kind of
Executive agreements" The
Teheran, Yalta, and PotSoam
Conferences have left up to
this day a bitter taste in the
mouths of the American
people, who still consider
them a betrayal of the prin-
ciples for which this Nation
had been fighting. In Britain.
