Local Soldier Gives Views On Turncoats

A local Army private, now sta
toned in Germany has written a
provocative explanation of why he
thinks that some American youths
have given up their birthright and
turned to the Communist way of
life.
He is Basil Tynes, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Basil Tynes, 700 White
Street. He has been in the Army
eight months and has been sta
toned at Hanau, Germany, for
three months. Young Tynes is a
graduate of the Key West High
School, class of SO.
His letter, as it appeared in a
Miami newspaper, follows:
American Freedom"
"TheSe are two great words

pie.

French Guest Is
Food Enthusiast
BY DON GENRES

On a recent visit to the Delbert
Dorm home, Giles Herbet of
France told us about foods in his
country. THE foods" said GILES"
are baSically the same as here in
the United States, however; your
method of preparation is quite diff
ferent. For example, we never put
salt and pepper on anything and
then put on sugar to sWeeten it.
We don't mix our apples, oranges,
and pineapples in salads as you.
We serve only one fruit in salad.
When I return home and tell my
mother how you mix salads, she
won't believe me. I'm going to
take along a recipe book to sup
port my story.
We eat five times a day. Three
meals are eaten as here in Madi-
son County and two w lie work
ing in the fields.
The French people eat much
more slowly and take much more
time than you. Our meals usually
last about one hour. We are not
served everything at once. You
get your meat, vegetables, and
salad at one serving. We never
mix our foods. A typical meal
would be served in the following
order: Soup, meat, one or two
vegetables, salad, cheese, desert,
coffee. During the meal we drink
wine.
Soups are always served at the
evening meal. The meat might be
beef, pork, or lamb. Potatoes and
peas, beans, and rice are the usual
vegetables. A typical salad is let
tuce with oil, vinegar, salt and
pepper. Dessert is generally a
fresh fruit. Our coffee is drunk
very black with on cream.
The bread is white and made
from wheat, however; is much
heavier than yours. We used to
make bread in the homes but
since World War II, we generally
buy it from the village baker. Your

John Days Open Hearing
Top-Notch TN Documentary
By Harry Macarthur

The other day it was reported
that NBC was on the prowl-
had been for some time, in fact
for a news analyst and COM
mentator of the stature of Ed
ward r. .Murrow. One who
showed only the potential for
attaining Murrow stature would
be welcomed. Money-"or any,
thing else he'd desire would be
no object, said the story in Va
riety, the show business journal.
While NBC was looking, ABC
found the man, John DAILY, and
sealed him up inside a vice pres
idency. Last week Mr.. DAILY
launched a new television pro-
gram called "Open Hearing"
(WNIAL-TV-Thursday. 9 p.m0 =.
With the premiere it became i'm
mediately clear that Mr.. DAILY
is the man to match "See It
Now" in the news documentary
field.
He knows how to pick out the
salient aspects of a story and
how to blend them into a clear
and dramatic narrative. 1t will
be his business here, largely
| through the use of film clips, to
develop the background Of a
story. putting it in focus with
current developments and bring
ing the viewer up to date. :"
On the premiere, Mr.. DAILY
took up the broadcasters' hot
test potato, Senator Mccarthy,
in a program titled prelude to
Climax" It was a lesson to most
broadcasterS in the application
of scrupulous fairness to high
ly controversial story. This is
not, incidentally, an implied
criticism of Edward r. Murrow.
He was doing one thing, DAILY
quite another.
What Mr.. DAILY was doing was
