The conventional stereotype
Of the Irishman which has won
acceptance the world over
bears as little relationship to
reality as the European idea
that ell Americans are boast
full, rich and materialistic.
What gave the world this ut
terly false idea? The familiar
caricature of the Irishman
originated with Punch" q pa
per whose humor for genera
lions has stemmed mainly
from snohbery.
Incredible as It may seem,
many of the irish outside Of
ireland have come to accept
the familiar travesty Of them
selves. I have lived a long time
in Ireland. and never have I
seen q man looking like q ha-
boon, wearing a green hat with
a pipe stuck In it; yet at an
all-Irish banquet outside Of
Ireland I have found this Carl
cature adopted. It's q sad IL
lustration Of the truth Of Oscar
Wilde's statement that life
initiates art.
OF course, some Of the buff
foonery attributed to the Irish
is true. Here is an example: A
methodical Englishman travel
ing In the Irish countryside
came across an Irishman clip
ping a hedge with a pair of
very loose shears, and said:
Look here, my good man, if
you got those shears ground
and set. you'd do twice the
work." The Irishman replied,
But I haven't twice the work
to do" In this kind of talk
there is as much of an ele-
ment of deliberate fooling as
in the dry New England wit.
It is an ironic reaction to the
visitors air of superiority.
In the old days, every sub
ject Of the British Empire was
keenly aware that he was re-
garded as one of "the lesser
breeds within the law" though
he wasn't always articulate
about it. The late Maharajah

to get into the hands Of

told 1t is a crime to conceal a
crime. When I got this infor-
nation that there was q crime
being committed, I had
thought that ! would be part
Of the crime If I didn't expose
it. and so ! exposed IL. Had I
not done so. it would still be
covered up"
The data In question led
later to the Indictment Of Col
lector Finnegan Of st. Louis
for misconduct In office. He
was convicted and is now
serving q two-year prison
term. Senator Williams con-
tinued:
II tried to call 1t to the at
tention of the Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue. but I
couldn't get his interest
arouseds ] tried to call 1t to
the attention Of the Secretary
of the Treasury so that he
could take appropriate steps.
but I couldn't get his interest
aroused. So ] called it to the
attention Of the Senate"
Should Senator williams
be censured now? And what
Of the work done by Represent
alive Cecil King, Democrat,
and his associates on the House
committee who investigated
and brought to book persons
in the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice so high up that no employe
under them would have dared
to confront them with charges?
It is widely known that hon
est employees inside the Gov
eminent gave information and
secretly helped these MEM
bers Of Congress. Should
they be censured and accused
of law violations? Yet that's
the rule which the so-called
liberal Senators now would
enforce against Senator Nc
Carthy merely because he re-
peated in a public address what
is well known-that Govern
ment employees can and must
help to uncover treason and
corruption and other forms of
wrongdoing even If they risk
the disfavor Of their superiors.

Senate Extends Law
On u. 5. School Aid
BY the Associated Press

The Senate passed q bill yes
terday extending for three years
a law authorizing Federal aid for
school construction in areas
where schools have, become over
burdened since June 80, 1852,
because Of defense ana related
Federal activities.
The measure. which now goes
to the House. authorizes appro-
priations for the program for
the three fiscal years beyond the
end Of the current fiscal year
next June 80.
"A Senate Labor Committee
report said something must be
done now TO help meet the Fed
eral responsibility for school
enrolment increases in the next
few years."
The report cited as an example
Of places where the need will be
"acute" the area near the new
Air Force base at Newington,
N. H., now in its early stages OF
construction.
It said the base will increase
school enrolment by $500 to
1000 in the next two years,
while the school district in
which the base Is situated now
has only a two-roon1 elementary
school and no high school.

Senator williams told the
story Of the cover-up in a
copyrighted interview in U. s..
News & World Report on De-
cember z, 1851, when he said:
II made my speech on the
floor Of the Senate that day,
numbered the files, and put
the whole case of Mr.. Finnegan
in the Congressional Record.
And ! made the statement
then that all the evidence that
I was putting in the Record
on that date was in the files
of the Treasury and the De-
partment of Justice here in
Washington, that it had been
in their files during the time
the first grand jury was in ses-
sion, and that it was not pre-
sented to the first grand jury
nor to the second grand jury
thus far. I said that both the
Department of Justice and the
Treasury Department were re-
sponsible for withholding 1t"

disputed. Democrats reply
that:
The unions have done a fine
educational Job In convincing
their members that the city
cannot be prosperous without
the farmer, that low prices for
the farmer mean loss Of fac
tory jobs. The unions have
certainly worked at this,
though the reciprocal under

The new Eisenhower farm
program will not have to wait
long for its campaign bap-
tism.
r Farmers Get the Business"
will be the headline on the
up coming issue Of the Dem
ocratic Digest. The face on
the cover will be that Of Sec
rotary of Agriculture Benson
and inside. he and the pro-
gram he took to Congress for
the administration will get the
full treatment.

>of 10 States including the
Farm Belt will meet in Sioux
Falls, s. OAK, and make the
welkin ring on the same is
sue. Adlai Stevenson and
farm leaders will be present
to help the farmers decide
what they think about the
new program. Missing, Incl
dentally. will be one former
Democratic Agriculture Secre-
tary, Senator Clinton Ander-
son Of New Mexico. Senator
Anderson not only supported
the Eisenhower policy: he had
the same idea when Secretary.
Senator Anderson is up this
year and he says he believes
he will do all right. His oppo-
nent Is Gov. Mechem and Re-
publicans here say he will do
all right.
But Senator Anderson is an
exception to the party line,
which is, as the Digest head
line indicates, that the farmer
Is getting it in the neck under
the Eisenhower administration
and that the new program
won't stanch the flow of his
lifeblood.
Some Democrats firmly be-
lieve this. They think that
the individual farm family is
going down the drain with
all marginal farmers and that
Mr.. Benson doesn't care and
President Eisenhower doesn't
understand. Others perhaps
only remember 1913 when dis
satisfied farmers contributed
heavily to Harry Humans up
set victory.
When Democrats say the
farmers are unhappy again
they point to Texas where
loyalist Democrat Marlborough
slaughtered pro-Ike Gov.
Shivers in the farm areas,
forcing a runoff: to Alabama
and Tennessee where liberals
Sparkman and Kefauver won
big In their primaries and
overwhelmingly carried rural
communities. They have re-
ceived from Iowa'a Statewide
poll which shows Democrat
Guy Gillette q big favorite for
reelection to the Senate In
that normally Republican
State.
The outs are also convinced
that the President and Sec
rotary Benson made q mistake
in taking a high moral tone
on the farm support issue.
They argue that the farmers
are irked by being classified
as Americans who have been
getting too much at the ex-
pense of the taxpayer.
What the administration Is
doing for other segments OF
the economy as tax reductions
to business. etc. will be stressed
In the campaign.

BY GRACE LUEBKE

It's time again for our Annual
Christmas Workshop, sponsored by
the Home Demonstration Council
each year, to acquaint all of you
good homemakers with new or
different ideas on how to decorate
your home, in keeping with the
Yuletide season or how to make
gifts to give to some special per-

because it is something you your
self created, and you've put part
of yourself into it.
One big project this year will be
learning the fine art of textile
painting. have seen some of the
Ioveliest pillow slips and aprons
decorated in this manner, and
have always been fascinated by the
idea that you can actually paint
designs on cloth, and the design
is permanent. You will have an
opportunity to actually do some
painting yourself, either on a small
towel or hanky that you bring a.
long from home or on some hand
kerchiefs that will be available to
purchase there at small amount.
If, by any chance, you have any OF
this kind of paint or brushes at
home, bring them along. This pro-
ject will be under the supervision
of Mrs. Harry Redman, Mrs. Chas.
Schroeder, Mrs. Harris Kardatzke
and Mrs. Fred Barnes.
You will again have an oppor-
tunity this year to try your hand

or maybe you didn't have time
enough. Those very capable ladies,
