country have time and again in
fated the Importance of isolated
battles. Most recent example was
the little Dien Bien Phu" fight for
Yen Phu, a garrison defended by
couple of platoonS of Wet NameSe
and French troops. Dien Bien Phu
itself was blown up out of propor-
ton to its military value, although
the French command in Indo-China
helped by concentrating so many
troops there and refusing to pull
them out when their fate was in
evitable to most outside observers.

While it is true that some 10000

are only intermittent, and fighting
can be carried on. In September
the rains are tapering off and the

didate in a North Carolina primary.
Mr.. Scott had 81. 1928 votes to 1885,
592 for the incumbent, Senator Alton
A. Lennon, and a total of about
10000 for five other candidates. In
this State the Democratic nomina-
ton insures election.
Mr.. Scott, who is 81, is regarded
as the first out-and-out liberal
elected to the Senate from this State
in the present century.
The story of Kerr Scott's rise to
the Senate really began with the
death of j. Melville Broughton, new
ly-elected Senator, in January, 1949.
Mr.. Scott, then Governor, appointed
DR.. Frank P. Graham, out-and-out
liberal president of the University OF
North Carolina, to Senator Brough-
toms seat pending the next election.
In the 1850 primary, DR.. Graham

years of the Broughton term) polled
3O3, 900 votes to 314,000 for his three
opponents. This made a runoH
necessary. The second runner, j.
Willis Smith, a staunch conserva-
tive who once headed the American
Bar Association, campaigned for the
run-off on two principal issues:
Race and communism. Mr.. Smith
won the run-off primary and. OF
course, the election.
A Jinx Appears
The Broughton term began to
look jinxed when Senator Smith
died last June. Gov. William B.
Umstead the following month ap-
pointed Mr.. Lennon. Wilmington
lawyer. as the fourth incumbent in
the Broughton seat. Under North
Carolina law, however. Mr.. Lennon
was to serve only until the next
general election, which comes this
November.
So when former Gov. Scott wins

Canada Fovors Asia Pact,
But Not the Dulles Plan
By Gerald Worina

Whether we agree with. all their
policies or not" Mr.. Pearson said,
little of substantial or permanent
character is likely to be achieved in
establishing peace and security in
Southeast Asia or any other part OF
Asia without their advice, co-opera-
ton and assistance"
Mr.. Pearson also expressed the
opinion that to obtain the support
of these countries, the alliance must
be aimed at simply deterring aggres-
sion rather than fighting commu-
nism as such. and must be divorced
from anything that could be called
colonialism, and not designed to
maintain regimes, colonial or ma
tional, that have little or no popular
support"
In other words, it must not be
machinery to maintain France in
Indo-China, Britain in Malaga or
Chang Kai-Shek in FormoSa.
One has only to consider Wash
ington's coolness toward India, its
support of Chang and its general
failure to distinguish between op-
position to aggression and oppoSi-
ton to communism to appreciate
the divergence of Canadian and
American views on the problem.
Mr.. Pearson both explained and
qualified the position he took on
Canadian participation in such a
pact-a position which, like every
thing else he said, is accepted as
official Canadian government policy
on the basis of the parliamentary
rule Of cabinet solidarity.
The position is that Canada can
not be expected to accept special
regional defense commitments in
every part of the world where col
lective arrangements may be ad-
viSable."
The explanation is that. limited
manpower and material resources
and present heavy commitments to
the United Nations and North At
lantic Treaty Organization "cir-
cumscribe what Canada can and
cannot undertake. militarily OF
otherwise. not only in Southeast
Asia, but elsewhere"
The qualification is that Canada
is committed to support any action
the U. N takes-on Indo- China, If
that question is referred to the U. N.
and on any breach Of the peace in
any part Of the world.

to diminish his drug supply. They
do not consider him cured.
Cure" says DR.. Bailey, "is a
dangerous word. Mr.. Unger Is still
on drugs. His case is controlled.
His case and that Of the little
girl are far from proven. We think
the approach is promising, but there
are still many factors involved"
Surgery in epilepsy is comparative
ly new. It has been only few years
since DR.. Wilder Penfield of Mon
treal began such operations. There
are still only a few places where
cortical surgery is done now-Mon-
treal, the University of Illinois.
Johns Hopkins and the National In
Stitutes here.
Chemical Defect Found
In MIR. Unger's case, he gave a
piece of diseased brain tissue to help
determine that there is a chemical
defect common to epileptic seizures.
That proved to be a deficiency of
glutamic acid. so important to main
tain energy and stability in the brain
cells.
In the 20 or more surgery cases
at NH, doctors have found that all
epileptic cases had about so per cent
less glutamic acid in their brains
than healthy persons do.
Actual administration Of glutamic
acid was not the answer to control
of seizures, because the acid. as such,
would not pass from the blood stream
to the brain.
The search turned to one for
compound which would make that
transition, turning to glutamic acid
within the brain.
Glutamine was the first result. It
is so scarce it is almost rare and
treatment for one patient for one
year, at present prices, would cost
100000. Minute quantities of 1t are
found in the ordinary sugar beet.
Price Will Drop
However, DR.. Bailey, pointing out
that the cost is high only because
there has been such little demand
for 1t, said that assurance Of a
ready market would bring increased

Domino Theory

Another cause of confusion about
Indo-China has been the adminis-
tration's varying Interpretation Of
the domino theory" This is the
concept, popularized by President
it will be only matter Of time be-
fore all of Southeast Asia falls under
Communist sway.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles recently backed away from
this theory. He pointed out that this
country would try hard to save the
rest of Southeast Asia If Indo- China
were to fall. In other words. the
subsequent fall of Thailand. Burma,
Hong Kong, Malaga and Indonesia
is not inevitable. But these coun-
tries will be more difficult to hold
than they are now. every one agrees.
Great Britain's Foreign Office, for
example, does not consider that any
event necessarily follows any other
event. Nothing in foreign relations
is inevitable, according to one Of
their high officials in Southeast
Asia. Nor does Britain view with
undue alarm the effects Of the fall
of Indo-C China on Malaga. More ter
rorist activity probably would fol-
low. it is admitted, but the British
are confident that it would be scat
tered. Communists in Malaga are
not well organized, and have no
central leader like Ho Chi Mini in
Indo-C China. The British do not ex-
pect a civil war of the ferocity or
magnitude of Indo- China to follow
in Malaga if Indo-C China falls.
It should be added, of course. that
Britain also foresees militant Red
Chinese answer to full-scale West
ern intervention in Indo-China. II
this causes the war to spread, Brit
aims Hong Kong trade with Com.
munist China, on the books and OF,
would be ended. Britain Is notleager
to see this happen.

OTTAWA.-There's agreement be-
tween Canada and the United States
on the need for defense pact COW
ering Southeast Asia, but Ottawa
has very decided opinions as to the
kind of pact needed. They differ
sharply from those of Washington.
Canadian Secretary of State Les
ter B. Pearson, who led this coun-
try's delegation during the first four
weeks of the Geneva Conference,
spelled out to Parliament why Cana
da would not join such an alliance.
His reasons were three: That the
kind of pact advocated by United
States Secretary Of State John Fos-
ter Dulles wouldn't work; that the
kind of pact Canada favorS would be
a regional" one, making Canadian
participation anomalous, and that
Canada hasn't the manpower and
other resources to extend itself fur
ther.
Mr.. Pearson didn't mention Mr..
Dulles by name, or put Canada on
record as condemning the American
approach to the problem Of eStab-
fishing peace and discouraging ag-
greSsion in the Far East. Instead he
emphasized that the Canadian gov
ernment agrees in principle with
the United States that some sort OF
regional collective security arrange
ment is needed in that part of the
world.
But Mr.. Pearson doubts that
pact patterned on the North Allan
tic Treaty Organization would salts
fy the need. Instead he advocates a
regional security arrangement under
Article 81 of the United Nations
Charter, and one which would be
more than q mere military alliance
The inference is that it should go
at least as far in the sphere Of
economic and other non-military
cooperation as NATO is pledged to
60 under its Canadian-inSpired
Article II, but hasn't.
Mr.. Pearson said the alliance
should not be merely an instrument
of the Western powers, but rather an
organization which the free Asian
countries would support as members
or otherwise.
It needn't include India and the
other nom Communist Asian coun-
tries, he said. but those countries
, must not feel excluded. or that their
interests are being ignored.

,Pe0ple IN THIS country are now In
the process Of boning UP on the
Indo- China situation. and one Of
their major problems Is to cut
through the jungle Of popular mis-
conceptions that has grown up
around the war there.
These misconceptions are both
political and military. Often the
two areas overlap to compound the
confusion.
Military Misconceptions
Here are some Of the widespread
false impressions which have grown
up in the military field:
!. It's q big wor.
If Korea was a brush-fire war.
Indo- China is small bonfire. There
are fewer than / million men en-
gagged on both sides. In Korea there
were more than twice that number.
The biggest battle Of the war was
Dien Bien Phu, but even there
fewer than 10000 men were in
volved.
z. There is a front.
This war is everywhere and no
where. Neither side maintains
much of line. The so-called "per-
imeter" in the Red River Delta is a
spongy affair. The Wet Mini pierce
it regularity. The French and Wet
NameSe, for their part, penetrate
nominally Wet Mini territory, too.
as they did at Dien Bien Phu, Lao
Kay and other places in Northwest
ern Wet Nam.
3. Indo- China con be cut in holf
so thot its severance means some
thing.
Driving across the narrow
waist" of Wet Nam and Laos last
year netted the Reds nothing.
Ground communication between
North and South. Indo-China is
practically impossible under the best
conditions. Indo-C China. in other
words, is already cut in half by
mountains and jungles. Saigon to
Hanoi traffic is handled by air and
sea almost exclusively.
4. Fronco-Viet Nomese forces ore
at a disadvantage militorily.
The Communist Wet Mimi have
fewer troops and much less equip
ment than the Franco-Viet Namese
,battalions. Relative troop strengths
are something like 475.000 for the
Wet Namese and French to about
$4,000 for the Wet Mimi. The Reds
started with practically no weapons,
got their first supplies from the
Japanese, then augmented them
with captured Chinese, French and
American arms. Even today they are
getting much less aid from Red
China than the Franco-Viet NameSe
forces are getting from the United
States.
5. Fronce is pouring all her blood
and treasure into the war.
The United States is footing
three-fourths of the bill and France
has only about 10000 metropolitan
CIcuC1luIcU III IIlc 4IlOO.NLlLIld Wal.
Most of the French Union forces
are non-French nationals - Ger
mans, Czechs, Italians, Poles, North
Africans. Wet Namese, etc.
6. Cutting the road from the seq
port Of Hoiphone to the eopitoI Of
Northern Wet Nam at Hanoi is
significant.
This road and parallel railroad
are sabotaged regularly, almost
nightly during the fighting season.
The French usually control the road
by day. have become proficient at
repairing blown-up roads and rail-
road tracks, and seldom are vitality

CATAWbA DANCE
NETS $500 FOR
HOSPITAL FUND

With an over-capacity crowd at
tending, Catawba Islands hospital
benefit dance in Catawba Com
munity Hall Saturday evening was
a huge success when approximate
ly 5000 was realized from the
dance, refreshments, auctions and
raffles.
Mrs. Glenn Dieringer was chair
man for the very successful dance
with Mrs. Carl Hilker as co-chair-
man who deserve high praise.
Other chairmen include Mrs. Luz

operation which made this dance
such a decided success, as every
ore in the community pitched in
whole heartedly.
AS tic dancers entered the hall,
they were instantly reminded the
dance was q benefit for the Ma
grude1 Hospital drive as minia-
ture bed pan ash trays were fea
tured in the auction display.
Feature of Mrs. Dieringer's dec
oration theme was an eight-foot
tall caduceus in gold and silver
foil with blue and white back
ground highlighted by the indirect
lighting. These colors are used in
hospitals.
''The caduceus is a sign of heal
ing and the two silver wings al
top with the two golden serpents
entwined represent the power tt
convey vast areas in the expert
