Getting
Along
BY LAUREEN WHITE

NEW Il OASAAy NNA%OA%]AA/ ~
Senator Joseph Mccarthy really
wants to stem the tide of Com
munism, he could do something
about men like Eugene Talmadge
and James F. Byrnes. Individuals
of that like are really doing more
to force the world toward Com
munism than many of those Nc
Carthy now has his sights on.
These two men who are COVER
nors of great states, have been tell
ing the world for years that they
do not believe in our system of
government. They do not believe
in abiding by our Constitution and
do not intend to abide by the de-
cision of the Supreme Court.
The latest evidence of this is to
be found in their attitude toward
the Supreme Courts ruling on
segregation in public schools.
These men have openly and brazen-
ly made it clear that they intend
to do everything they can to cir
cunrvent the ruling. In other words,
they are saying, "'We don't be-
lieve in democracy" When individ-
uals take that attitude, they are
guilty of sabotaging our govern
ment. The strongest point the
Communists have against our Dem
ocracy is the dual standard prac-
ticed here. 1t is largely through
empasizing and exaggerating this
point that Communism has at
tracted so many so easily. -
The West has lost all China. half
of Korea, all of Eastern Europe
and is about to lose Indo China.
Siam, Malaga, and Burma could
easily go next and are likely to.
And anyone who thinks India isn't
moving away from Western in
fluence needs to have his thinking
apparatus overhauled.
If India should go Red, think
of the agitators there would be
in Africa to convince the natives
there. There are many Indians in.
Africa and there are many Afri-
cans who would prefer Red In
vasion to British slavery. In our
back yard there are more countries
than Guatemala flirting with Com
muniSm. Observe what is happen
ing in British Honduras, British
Guiana, Trinidad and Brazil. Then,
there are many who think that
Mexico is the headquarters for the.
Kremlin in the Western Hemis-a
phere.
Most of the countries mentioned
arc marching toward Communism
because they feel that Democracy
as it is practiced by the most pow
erful nation on earth wouldn't
include them anyway. That fact is
on them further every
time the Byrnes' and ,Talmadges
open their mouths, Mr.. Mccarthy
could render us a great service by
curtailing the activities of men
like that. ~

Farm
Supports
AreDefeated
House Group Votes
To Keep 90% Props
Through 1855
BY the Assoeiosed Press

Rejecting administration pro-
posals for flexible supports, the
House Agriculture Committee
voted today to recommend con-
tinued farm price supports at
the present rigid 80 per cent of
parity through 1855.
The 80 per cent level would
apply to basic farm crops.
In a rebuff to Secretary Ben
son, who has campaigned for
the flexible supports, the COM
mittee voted. 21-8, to write the
one-year extension into the
omnibus farm bill it will pre-
sent to the House. Parity is
a price declared by law to be
fair in relation to the prices
farmers must pay for products
they buy.
Under existing law. the flex-
ible system of price supports,
ranging from rs to 80 per cent
of parity. goes into effect at the
end of the 1854 crop year. For
an extension of the present 80
per cent of parity system, new
legislation is required.
Mr.. Benson has said he would
recommend a presidential veto
Of the high fixed price level.

Hoover Says Careless Adults
Spur Juvenile Delinquency

auto theft were made among
juveniles II years of age or less.
with these figures in mind,
note an oficial statement made
by one of the Nations largest

cent of all cars stolen were left

the switch unlocked. Oh the
basis Of these figures. imagine
what a tremendous decrease
could be effected in auto theft
and arrests Of juveniles for that
crime. If every driver would SIM
ply lock his car when it is left
unguarded.
Preventing an auto theft also
prevents other and more serious
crimes in many cases. AS every
experienced police ofhcer knows.

"For years." said a statement
in a spelling book, teachers,
principals, superintendents and
school boards everywhere have
been wearied by the cry of busi-
nesSmen: The boys you send us
can't SPELL"
The book was published in
1909.
The same cry has been heard
ever since and is heard today.
One of the most reiterated criti-
cisms of the schools is, "They
don't teach the children how to
SPELL" Close after that come
these complaints:
1.-THE kids nowadays aren't
taught how to read as they
should"
Their handwriting is ter
rible."
The schools don't drill the
