Senators at the Army-Mc-
Carthy hearing agree with a lot
Of people about one thing. They
think there's something about a
soldier.
Some Senators get pretty
choked up at the sight of a
uniform. too. They got so busy
saluting the officers who came
to testify yesterday that the
witness stand was just like a
reviewing stand for awhile.
Senator Mccarthy had a very
busy day trying to change black
into white on some Army charts
about privates' private lives. He
wasn't too busy. though. to try
to Join the Army-as opposed
to what he calls "Pentagon poll
ticians"-on the side. His at
tempts ran into some resistance.
The Senators almost went to
pieces when Maj. Gen. Corne-
Illus Ryan stepped aside. Sena-
tor Symington told the general
that millions of fathers and
mothers would be proud to have
a man like you training their
sons" Acting Chairman Mundt
said the general ran a close
parallel to Gen. Walter Bedell
Smith as "the most explicit wit
ness" Senator Potter was anx-
ious to concede that he was
greatly impressed" with the
general, and Senator Mccarthy
who hasn't cared much for pre-
vious Army witnesses could find
no fault at all.

State College. He comported
himself like some young Renais-
Sance courtier in an intrigue
ridden Italian court.
Even Senator Mccarthy fell
back when 1t. Blount. sunnily
explained that he thought that
the white blocks and the black
blocks on the chart were COM
parable to the light and dark
trunks worn by televised fight
ers-"just for comparative pur-
poSes."
"A worthy aide to a worthy

Evidence of the gravity of the
national polio situation arrived
in Noble County Tuesday in the
form of a check for $575.00 from
the national foundation for in
fantile paralysis, according to
Mrs. William Fleming, county
chairman.
The Noble county chapter had
originally asked for check in
the amount of $1,072.07 to COW
er their current bills but the
national foundation found it
necessary to cut this in half.
The local chapter is providing
fund in whole or in part for the
care of three patients, who con-
tracted polio in previous years.
This financial help is not
enough to cover all the chapters
outstanding bills but is a part
of the national foundation ar
rangements to provided needy
chapters with immediate emer-
geney aid.
In spite of the record nation
wide March of Dimes last
January, the national foundation
wound up $2O,OOO,O0O short of
