Old Acheson Boy

The report that John E. Peurifoy, our
Ambassador to Guatemala City, gave some
thing more than diplomatic shove to the
ousted Arbenz government must have been
read with considerable interest in Wash
tngton. For Mr.. Peurifoy was member of
what Senator Mccarthy used to call the "old
Acheson crowd" In the State Department.
According to the Wisconsin Senator,
this crowd" was guilty of harboring Com
munistS, shielding Communists, and, in
general selling out the interests of the
United States to Communists at home and
abroad. Mr.. Peurifoy, Undersecretary of
State in 1850, was specifically accused by
Senator Mccarthy of protecting a State
Department employe with known Com
munist background.
Something must have happened, how
ever, to this dangerous left-winger from
South Carolina, who got his start in Wash
ington as an elevator operator some 18
years ago. For Mr.. Peurifoy, according to
the Associated Press, played determined
and important role in putting the skids
under the o-Communist Arbenz govern
ment, thereby cleaning out the only i'm
portant Communist beachhead in this
hemisphere.
It seems fair to suggest that when 1t
comes down to the real business Of fighting
communism, this is considerably more of
an achievement than anything which can
honestly be credited to Senator Mccarthy
Indeed, this line of thought might even be
carried step further Perhaps the Incl
dent is one which suggests that we would
be better of with more old Acheson boys
like John Peurifoy, and fewer Senator
McCarthys. 4A.s@'s

any mother bird 1t can hnd.
It is much to the credit OF these
birds that usually they stop to help
the helpless" one, at least Tor rev
times.
It is amusing to see the small SPAR
row mother feeding the starting baby
three times her size.
The robin raised by hand should be
taken outdoors every day. and allowed
to pick in the grass. and especially in
bare patches of the earth.
This is natural training that finally
induces the creature to eat for and by
himself.
If a few ugly looking beetles and
small earthworms can be collected for
this purpose, and let loose while the
robin is there, he will amaze his foster
parent by the greediness with which he
goes after them.
In his box or cage he refuses every
thing except fayorite food, but here
in the grass he is one with nature
again, as he should be.
This bird probably will walk very
well in few weeks, and then will teach
himself to fly. This may take about
four weeks. all told, and there is all
the rest of the summer and autumn to
set him free.
Robins are very capable birds; those
raised by hand soon learn to take care
Of themselves.
In the above case vitamin A and

with the hamburger twice q week.

The Comics, Again

Nearly every one has his own idea about
what makes youngsters go wrong, and with
so much attention on juvenile delinquency
these days, the theorists are hard at work.
The Nations SheriffS, meeting here in an
nual convention, turned their wrath on
comic books as source of inspiration for
crime. Some of the more distasteful ex-
amples were displayed for the visiting
sheriffs to see.
This complaint about comic books is not
a new one, but it is one which should be
carefully weighed before broad accusations
are made. It is as silly to say that all comic
books are bad as 1t is to say that all novels
are bad. Some comic books, admittedly, are
abhorrent even to adults. But If we are to
outlaw some comic books, and condone
others, who is to make the distinction be-
tween good and bad?
Some comics poke fun at stuffed shirts.
Will the stuffed shirts Judge these? Some
are parodies Of law enforcement. Will the
sheriffs Judge these? Some religious or
CARNATIONS have entered the comic-book
field to combat the bizarre with adventure
based on Christian principle. Will the athe-
lists judge these?
The conscientious parent will agree
that comics which glorify crime have no
place in the American home. He also will
agree, II he is conscientious. that the comics
which provide humor and those which offer
good, healthful adventure should be left
alone. If the crime comics put ideas into
young minds, it is equally true that the
saner comics implant the idea that there
are such things as books to be read and
enjoyed.
The sheriffs should take their case to
the comic-book publishers, and impress
upon these publishers that there is some
thing amiss in comics which might lure
youngsters to crime. Any cleanup must
come from within the industry. II those
constituencies segmentS Of the industry
continue to violate decency and good taste,
they will be subjecting the entire comic
book field to dangerous and growing
threat of outside censorship.

to mark the fact that July 3 Is the
last day Of the last forms Of food ra-
tioning in Great Britain.
Prominent among the merrymakers
will be friend Of mine called Paul
Harrison. For the first time In his
life. Paul Is going to be able to eat as
much meat as he wants, whenever he
pleases.
Paul was born on September 20, 1889
nine days before national registra-
ton day. when his parents filled up
Questionnaires and were given their
ration books. He is now q husky young
man going on Is. who takes prizes
in Latin, plays cricket for his school.
and is developing an eye for feminine
beauty.
Paul has never known real hunger,
but he has never known what It's like
to eat to his hearts content every day
Of the week. He grew up in country
where 1t was natural and normal to
eat fresh meat only. one day In seven.
to so without butter on the second
slice Of bread. and to rejoice at the
sight Of an egg for breakfast.
Before the whole thing becomes Just
so much ancient history. let me set on
record the weekly ration for one per-
son here in Britain. during most Of
Paups lifetime. Margarine, ounces;
butter, 2 ounces; cooking fats, 2
ounces; sugar, ounces: tea. 2 ounces:
cheese, 3 ounces; bacon or ham, 4
ounces; meat-about 20 cents worth.
Statisticians say that the general
health Of the British people improved
over this period. II so. this is tribute
to women like Paul's mother. She ran
to the fishmonger to be first for the
mackerel. she charmed the butcher into
allowing her an extra piece Of liver.
She puzzled over the problem Of
whether to use her points" for sweet
biscuits or canned salmon, .sultanas or
SPAN. And she whipped UP the dried
eggs into passable omelette.

There is something lacking in the
diet which prevents bones from getting

fed, either alone, II the bird will take
it, or mixed with his favorite ham,

Now and then feed bit Of banana
and few berries. but not too much
Of these.

often veritable babies, and viii not do
anything for themselves as long as
there is q helping hand around.

Dear Sir:
"A little over two weeks ago brought
q baby robin into the house In the late
evening after trying all day to return
1t to its nest.
1.-THE poor thing was about starved
and we managed to get some ham
burger into it that night and cover 1t
and put it to bed.
1.-THE next morning we started to
feed it in earnest. We have been feed
ing it every time we go by its box and
it is getting along nicely. We find that
toothpick makes good mother
by dipping the food into water be-
fore offering it to the bird he seems
to be getting enough water. but he win
not take anything to eat except ham,
burger, throwing everything else that
we offer him clear across the box.

when we picked him up he could
not stand on his feet, but rested on
his elbows Now he can stand on his
feet while he is standing still. but II he
wants to move he slides along on his
breast, pushing with his feet. Is this
natural? Do you know at what age
they are able to walk?
I'VE have large lawn and twice
day we bring him out for about half
an hour to let him exercise with one Of
us watching him to see that no cat Is
around.
In the last two or three days he has
been picking UP some food In the grass.
