MRS. BOYLE FINDS INTERESTING
TREASURE OF OLD NEWSPAPERS

Mrs. Earl Boyle, 1O06 E. Perry
st, found a treasure trove of old
newspapers recently when she
ripped up inoleum on a stair
landing preparatory to having car
peting done.
Copies of the Ottawa County
Herald and the Toledo NeWs-Bee
she discovered were dated Decem-
Der, 1909. And Earl Boyle finds it
particularly appropriate that they
are because that's the date of
his birth.
The Ottawa County Herald bears
ads on its front page, which has
only one-line headlines on all
stories. Under Marriages" is the
account of the wedding of "Mr.
Lafayette Anderson and Miss
Mabel Parks, "who are among Port
Clinton's best young people, the
groom being a trusted employee
of the Matthews Boat Co., and the
bride being a very highly esteemed
young lady" There is also story
of the wedding of G Gumb and
Alma Gerner.
Other front page stories tell of
Ed A. hammers disposing .of his
business interests at Danbury to
his brother, and forming a part
nership with Bert Holly in the
auto business, of nets in the lake
being pilfered by might rides, Of

Mccarthy .

Opening CURTAIN was only
" II days away this week end
in the well-promoted mystery
drama starring Senator Joe Nc
Carthy of Wisconsin and the
United States Army.
After one false start, in which
a pro-McCarthy Boston lawyer
had been named as the supposedly
impartial counsel for special
hearing of the Senate'S perma-
nent investigating subcommittee,
the show seemed ready for the
road at last. A Knoxville (Tenn)
Republican attorney named Ray
H. jenkins won unanimous ap-
prevail from the three Republicans
and three Democrats who will
take an active part in the hearing.
The BoStonian, Samuel P. Sears,
resigned Tuesday in an urbane
"You can't fire me, quit" ex-
change and went back to New
England, where a comfortable law
practice and the worlds largest
collection of gold toothpicks nor
mally occupy his attention.
Mr.. jenkins appointment, in
contrast to that of Mr.. Sears
week before last, was met with
approval or silence. If his advent
was not the cause for a universal
accolade, at least there seemed
to be no reasonable ground for
criticism of the TenneSSean'S neu-
trality. A craggy man with an
easy manner, Mr.. Jenkins &C
cepted the job only after commit
teemen of both parties-at Mr..
jenkins requeSt-made a tele-
phone check Of his reputation
back home.
The Fireworks Stort
A counsel on the rolls, the sub
committees acting chairman,
Karl Mundt of South Dakota, set
April 81 as the opening date. Al
most as preview of the fireworks
the hearing is sure to set off, this
announcement drew harsh criti-
cism from a friend of Senator Nc
Carthy in Texas.
Hugh Roy Cullen of Houston, a
fabulous Texas "big rich" who
has been grubstaking the Univer-
sity of Houston for years, pro-
tested that April 81 was the date
already set for a speech by SEN
ator Mccarthy at San Jacinto
Day ceremonies. The committee,
Mr.. Cullen said, was pulling

something dirty. The American
people won't stand for it," More
ominously, he added, 81 won't
stand for it,"
1t seemed to be Mr.. Cullen'S
idea that the, committee was try
ing to gag its erstwhile chairman.
Senator Mundt heard and
needed. On Friday evening the
acting chairman delayed the
opening of the hearing until
April %, so the San Jacinto Day
date could be filled.
In Texas capital, Austin, 1871
students at the State university
signed a petition asking Mr.. Gull
len to withdraw the San Jacinto
Day invitation.
Meanwhile, Senator Mccarthy
enjoyed pleasant week. ID
started on Sunday with a COM
munion breakfast at New York's
Hotel Aston, at which 5000 New
York policemen cheered him
hoarsely. After the breakfast, and
after clearing up a few odds and
ends (see below, the Senator set
out for Tucson, Ariz., where he
spent the rest of the week recu-
perating from a virus infection at
the ranch of right-wing columnist
WeStbrook Pegler (Mr. Pegler was
not there.)
On Thursday, the Senator drove
Sc miles to the border, and in the
Mexican town of Nogales made
what sounded to Mccarthy critics
like the free-meat offer of CEN
fury.

in my Investigations" he said,
'I'll give him a T-bone steak"

Near East

A GROUP of high American and
4 n foreign officials and distin-
guished guests gathered at the
Shoreham Hotel last week to APP
plaud the launching of one of the
latest American efforts to spread
faith and good will around the
world.
The new gimmick was a postage
stamp denomination, 8 cents,
depicting the Statue of Liberty.
It will be used mainly to carry air
mail abroad. The design is sup
posed to remind our foreign friends
that there are finer things in life.
But during the luncheon, one of
the guest speakers, DR.. Norman
Salt, a New York rabbi who heads
the Synagogue Council of Amer
lea, decided to talk about "mur-
der" of Israelis by Jordanians. He
also observed that Israel was the
only democratic state in the Near
East.
International harmony came to
a sharp end. Four Arab diplomats
stalked out. Within few minutes
DR.. Salt, the State Department
and the Post Office Department
were apologizing profusely-and
unSuccessfully-to the offended
Arabs.
It was. little wonder that men
ton of the Arab-Israeli dispute
created a storm. The countries
have been shooting up their mu-
tual border for more than five
years.
A Week on the Border
Last week, for instance, went
like this:
SundGy-An Israel Egypt-U. N.
border commission cenSured Israel
for two raids across the border the
previous Friday. These raids pre-
Sumably were IN retaliation for an
Egyptian attack March Is.

Egyptians and Jordanians had
crossed the border and shot some

raid on one of its villages by armed

See 1t Now

The highlight of the Senator's
week, of course, occurred in New
York on Tuesday night, when he
already was in Arizona. %
That afternoon, Senator Nc
Carthy's trusted lieutenant, Ray
Kiermas, delivered to the New
York Offices of the Columbia
Broadcasting System a can con-
tanning special film made for a
special purpose. AS CHS officials
and libel lawyers ran the film to
check for offensive material"
Mr.. Kiermas sat by. When the
screening was. over, he repossessed
the film, and stood watchdog
over it until 1915 pm. Then, IA
minutes before air time, Mr..
Kiermas unloaded his cargo.
The film was Senator McCar-
thy's ANSWER" to a March See
It Now" program, on which Com
mentator Edward r. Murrow UNI
dertook to define McCarthyism in
words and pictures-the Sena-
tors words, and the Senator's pic
lures. The commentator had Of
fered Senator Mccarthy an OPP
portunity to answer.
The Contents
The filmed response turned out
to be more of a polemic than a
reply. AS refutation of what
Mr.. Murrow had shown four weeks
earlier, the 25-minute speech
failed to fill the bill, if only be-
cause it did not address itself to
the points originally made. In
stead, it made some points of its
own.
Not all these points were we'll
taken. For instance, major Nc
Carthy indictment of Mr.. Murrow
was that he had been, "by his own
admission" member of the In
dustrial Workers of the World
(the revolutionary IWW, also
known as "Wobblies.") This
charge was clearly false. Whether
or not Mr.. Murrow was a Wobbly
at one time, he had never admitted

in Frenchmen's breasts, but, more
important, they have evoked
violent reaction in the United
States and throughout the free
world. This reaction has just about
wiped out their chances of taking
over Wet Nam without precipitat-
ing big war.
None of these results could help
the Communists at Geneva.
The battle for Diem Bien Phu
was not over yet, however. The
Reds opened new Korea-type ar
tillery bombardments Friday, to
soften resistance to a third wave
of frontal assaults. But French
morale and the impending mon
soon improved the odds that the
crossroads fortress would hold.

A MEXICAN policy makers last
N week were in the midst Of
crucial negotiations with our allies
which are certain to have far
reaching effects on the future of
the world.
There were two principal issues:
First, the H-bomb and how it will
be used in global anti Commu-
mist strategy; second, the war in
Indo-C China and how the Reds
can be kept from winning 1t.

to task on Friday.

tices a phony brand of anti

Senator McCarthy's church had
given the Senator such a going

as "the junior Senator from Wis

flunked it's first test. Red China
had quietly called the Dulles bluff
in Indo-C China.
Early In March, the Communist
Chinese poured truckloads of am
munition and supplies, masses of
artillery, anti-aircraft guns with
radars to aim them, Chinese tech
nicians and a few military strate-
gists into northwestern Wet Nam
to help the Wet Mimi at Diem Bien
Phu. The United States retaliated
quickly at Diem Bien Phu Cat the
place and time of Mao Tse-tung's
choosing), not massively but with
a squadron of B-26s and few
extra CAT transports full of Amer
lean equipment.
Secretary Dulles did not formally
renounce the massive retaliation"
theory, of course. But he switched
emphasis. A week ago last Mon
day, he called for united action"
to prevent Indo-C hina's fall to
communism.
Dulles Appeal
Last week end he asked nine
countries-Great Britain, France,
Australia, New Zealand, the Phil
ippines, Thailand, Wet Nam, Cam
bodia and Laos-to join the United
States in two specific expressions
of concern over the Red threat to
Indo- China:
. Participation in a joint warn
ing to Red China-before the
Geneva conference - that they
would join the United States in
preventing the fall of ndo-China
to communism.
. Promises of air and naval sup
port for the Indo-China war eff
fort from those nations with
forces available presumably Brit
ain, Australia and New Zealand).
No request for ground troops was
included, but few doubted it could
be far behind.
In the midst of his negotiations,
Mr.. Dulles went to Capitol Hill and
announced that Red China was
coming awfully close to the kind of
intervention at Diem Bien Phu
that would call for United States
retaliation.
Americas allies refused to be
stampeded, however. The rainy
season is less than a month away
in Indo- China, so that meaning
full assistance could not be brought
to bear before next September.
They sympathized with Mr.. Dulles
intention to stand so closely be-
hind the French in 1ndo-China
that they could not back out at
Geneva. But they were less ap-
prehenSive about what the Paris
government of Premier Joseph
Laniel will do.
Only little Thailand, which will
be directly under the gun If Indo-
China falls, lined up at Mr.. Dulles
side. The Thai, who have been
trying to live down their World
War II acquiescence to Japanese
aggression, presumably would be
able to contribute sailors and air.
men for the ships and planes they
are getting from the United States
in any joint effort in Indo-China.
Yesterday, Secretary Dulles left
for London and Paris to carry on
his pleading.
The French government, for its
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-04-11

part, welcomed Mr.. Dulles strong
support, but showed no intention
ssof bankrupting it's chances for
arranging an armistice at Geneva
by preconference jockeying. Public
opinion in France, it was pointed
out, would not permit it.
Senate Shaken
The United States Senate,
meanwhile, was shaken by the
sudden zeal of the Dulles drive.
Indo-China was debated on the
floor on Tuesday. 1t became clear
Mr.. Dulles would have bipartisan
support for united action" but
there were inSiStent pressures-
also bipartisan-for helping the
three Associated States of Wet
Nam, Laos and Cambodia gain
complete independence from
France as prerequisite to deci-
.sive victory in Indo-China.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat, of
Massachusetts, warned that even
united action would be futile
without first getting the whole
hearted support of the population,
now hostile or passive because it
cannot be sure it is fighting for
its own cause, rather than Frances.
Senator Knowland, Republican
majority leader, supported this
view, and also sought to put teeth
in Mr.. Dulles bid for allied help.
He said Congress might we'll allot
economic aid on the basis of our
allies willingness to stand up and
be counted on Indo-China. He
added emphatically that closer
balance in contributions should
prevail than in the case of Korea,
where the United States contrib
uted 80 per cent of the nom
Korean troops and even more
materiel.
President Eisenhower added his
voice to those calling attention to
the Importance of Indo-China, at
his press conference Wednesday.
He rated the consequences of Red
conquest there as incalculable.
The administration also pre-
sented Congress with it's foreign
aid appropriations request, total
ing about $3.5 billion, one third of
it for Indo-C China.
One off-key note was sounded
Friday by Foreign Operations Ad-
ministrator StaSsen. Defending his
approval of relaxing restrictions
on allied trade with Iron Curtain
countries, he cited an adminiStra-
ton conviction that war is not
likely in the next year or two. Re-
publican Senators before whom he
was testifying openly doubted his
forecast.
Diem Bien Phu Coins
The unfolding of the Dulles doc
trine, meanwhile, tended to OBJ
scure what seemed to be a devel-
oping victory of major proportions
for the stalwart Wet Namese and
French defenders of Diem Bien
Phu, crossroads fortress in north
western Wet Nam which has been
besieged by 10000 to $4,000 Wet
Mimi troops in the past month.
Militarily, the Reds have suf-
fered over 10000 casualties among
some of their best troops. Politi-
cally, the Communists have sue.
