High School SIasher
Put on Probation

A 16-year-old boy was placed
on probation by Juvenile Court
yesterday, after he admitted
slashing the face of a fellow
high school student with a knife
last month.
The boy told Judge Edith H.
Cockrill his victim had beat
him and then dared him to meet
him after school.
He said that, on his way to
meet the other student, some
friends handed him the knife.
He added that he did not actu-
ally mean to hurt the student.
In another case Judge Cock
rill committed a 17-year-old boy
to the National Training School.
after he was found involved in
the petty larceny of a sweater
from the Hecht Co. on February
Z.
A court social worker testified
the boy was placed on court pro-
baton last fall for the unau-
thorized use of an auto and had
faced court action several times
before that.
Judge Cockrill told the youth
sit is time for you to learn re-
sponsibilities and a trade which,
if you cooperate, you can do at
the National Training School. :"

appeased and given every
thing he wanted.
We gave Stain everything
he wanted at Teheran and
confirmed and added to these
give-aways at. Yalta. As mat
ter of fact. all our military
efforts and victories were null
lifted at the political confer
ences of the Big Three which
none of the lesser allies who
were fighting calamity on our
side were permitted to attend.
They had only hearsay infor-
nation on what was discussed
and decided.
The most successful diplo-
matte gathering of the big"
powers was the Vienna con-
ference at the end of the Ma
poleonic wars. The wars were
over, Napoleon was defeated
and the military power Of
France had been crushed. 1t
was only after all military OBJ
iectives had been attained that
the representatives of the then
Big -Four" gathered in the
Austrian capital and decided
on carving up Europe in
manner which prevented the
outbreak of another war of
many nations for 100 years.
The Vienna Conference also
marked the most prosperous
postwar era in the history of
Europe.
Nothing of the sort hap
pened after the last world war.
Had it not been for what is
commonly believed to be the
inexhaustible resources of this
country, Europe and the rest of
the world would have gone
completely to pieces. The So
Wet Union, after having been
saved from military disaster
and helped to victory by its
Western allies, proceeded to
enlarge the gains made at the
expense of the free nations
and expanded both in Europe
and Asia. Tens of billions of
American tax funds and much
of our substance had to be
poured into military expendi-
lures in an attempt to arrest
this movement. 1t is by no
means certain that we have
yet succeeded.

Publication of the Yalta
papers may serve, If nothing
else. to support the view long
held by many political men in
Washington that information
al conferences should not be
held in the midst of a war.
When Secretary of State
Hull appeared before execu-
tive sessions of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
in l943 and 1914 and was
asked about our policies after
the shooting was over he in
variably replied: Gentlemen,
our only concern at present is
to win the war. We shall cross
the diplomatic bridges when
We get to them after victory"
1t is safe to say the world
and particularly this country
would not be in the present
predicament if President
Roosevelt and his advisers had
followed the Hull horse sense
principle. Teheran, Yalta and
Potsdam would never have &C.
CURED.
We won a reSounding mill
tary victory in World War II
and suffered an even more re-
sounding diplomatic defeat.
The Teheran, Yalta and
Potsdam meetings were not
used to discuss military STRAIT
egg as they were advertised.
Military strategy was dis
cussed only in the light Of
political deals between the
then three allies. At Teheran
the long and fruitful associa-
ton with Britain was shaken
because President Roosevelt
and some of his advisers, such
as Harry Hopkins, decided that
it was best for the United
States and the world to side
with Stain.
Britain appeared to our
leaders then as a brave but

pire while the USSR was
viewed as a power of the flu

Thomas L. Stokes
Tax Cut Issue Is Not Dead Yet
Democrats Will Keep 1t Alive by Pointing to 'BIooper
Of Humphrey That Gave Break to Biz Business
to Big Business

tons last year by the Treasury
Department, Congress wrote
into the 1853 law a provision
permitting businessmen to take
deductions for two years ex-
penSeS in one year. 1t would
result in Windfall variously
estimated to cause a loss of
revenue up to billion dollars
and beyond. Mr.. Humphrey
has asked for repeal of this
provision, as well as correc-
ton of 80 other errors dis
covered recently in the 1854
law.
When this "blooper" bill
comes before the Senate it is
the plan of Democrats, it is
learned, to try to attach the
same amendments they pro-
posed in vain to the excise
corporation tax extension
measure. Namely, the $20-$10
tax cut for the family of mod
crate means and repeal of the
dividend credit and of the more
liberal depreciation allowances
which Republicans included in
the 1858 revenue law. The
dividend and depreciation re-
pealers were offered as a means
of bringing in sufficient reve-
nue. to offset revenue lost
through the $20-$10 cut.
Thus Democrats will force
Republicans to go on record
publicly once again on refus-
ing tax relief to persons of
moderate means. This will
carry its own contrast with
what Republicans did in last
years law for the affluent and
for business by focusing at
tention on the dividend credit
which Democrats criticize as
a boon for coupon clippers"
and the more liberal deprecia-
ton allowances which mean
substantial tax savings for big
business and industry.

Thomas L. Stokes

You have not heard the last
of the Democratic effort to get
a break in tax reduction for
the little fellow.
Nor. indeed. has President
Eisenhower. or Secretary OF
Treasury Humphrey. or Re-
publican leaders in Congress,
despite their success in defeat
ing in the Senate the family
tax cut compromise and, at
the same time, keeping in the
law the dividend credit and
more liberal depreciation al
lowances for business.
Currently, as you know. the
tax issue is before a joint
House-Senate conference COM
mittee. The House bill would
extend for another year be-
You'd April existing excise
and corporation rates and in
cludes the $40 tax cut for
every member of the family.
The Senate bill merely extends
the corporation and excise tax
rates.
If by some miracle-and it
would be that-the conference
committee should accept the
$40 tax cut bonus and both
House and Senate should then
approve it-then you'd hear
about it constantly from DEM
ocrats from now until the 1856
election.
Such a miracle frankly is
expected by nobody.
But there is another means
open to Democrats to drama
tie the tax issue. The oppor-
tunity will come in legislation
now being considered by the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee to correct what Demo-

u. 5. Chamber Elects
Mississippi Man
As New President
By Froncis P. Douglas

A. Boyd Campbell of Jackson,
Miss, newly elected president of
the United States Chamber of
Commerce, described himself as
"just as corny as any product
you ever saw from Mississippi.
and as indigenous as catfish and
hushpuppies,"
In the same modest vein, the
gray-haired and personable Mr.
Campbell discussed from the
point of a view of a small busi-
nessman the free enterprise sys-
tenn, Federal aid for education
and the Dixon Yates contract.
Mr.. Campbell is a director of
the Mississippi Power g. Light
Co. one of the Middle South
Utilities group headed by Edgar
H. Dixon. Mr.. Campbell said
his position on the contract is
the same as that of Lewis L.
Strauss. chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission, which ne
gotiated the contract on the
Governments side.
For Private Power.
The contract has become
symbol in. the fight between pub
lie and private power. Mr..
Campbell said. Mr.. Campbell is
for private power.
Mr. Campbell is to take Office
on May 4 at the close of the
Chambers annual meeting. He
succeeds Glen D. Johnston of
Roanoke. Va. Mr.. Johnston was
elected chairman of the board.
j. H. Carmichael, president of
Capital Airlines, was elected
vice president of the Chambers
Southeastern Division.
Dixon Family Man"
In connection with the Dixon
Yates contract Mr.. Campbell said
weight should be given to the
character of the men behind it.
He described Mr.. Dixon as a
mild hammered, soft-spoken
man with grandchildren, who
manages other peoples money"
Mr.. Campbell looked with dis
trust on Federal aid to educa-
ton as meaning Ultimately Fed
eral control. Although Missis-
sippi is "at the bottom of the
ladder" in education, he said. a
special session of the Legislature
is struggling with a program to
guarantee equay facilities and
equal pay for both races.

Turning Victories Into Defeats
Yolto Offers Us Abundant Proof That International
Conferences Shouldn't Be Held in Midst of War

Stain took advantage of the
emotional frame Of mind of
our wartime leaders at the
wartime conferences and sue
ceeded at least partially in
creating a split between the
British and Americans.
The postwar conferences
were held during the period
known as the cold war. And
we lost our shirts. The Ber-
lin Conference in 1854 is a
typical example. We went
there to discuss with the Rus
sian dictators peace treaties
for Germany and Austria
They had other ideas. They
wanted Indo-China for their
Chinese Communist allies.
After 10 days of talking we
yielded and agreed to go to
Geneva to debate that issue.
Nothing was done about Ger
many and Austria. Northern
Wet Nam was surrendered by
the French to the Communists.
The interchangeable fact is
that our military victories
have been turned into diplo-
matte defeats mainly because
we went to the conference
table while fighting was 60
ing on to discuss purely politi-
cal matters with a temporary
associate whose overall aims
we're in theological opposition
to those of the American
people.
The results of these confer
ences were so distasteful that
our then leaders decided to
cover up by hiding from us
the actual concessions they
made to the Reds. They have
been partly revealed after 10
years in which the American
people shed blood, sweat and
tears" without actually know
ing the real origin of their
hardShips.
The division of Korea at the
18th Parallel was arranged by
our representatives at Yalta.
1t resulted in the Communist
aggression of 1850 which cost
us 165. 900 casualties and some
SIS billion. And We have not
yet seen the end of that con-
fict.

The unleashing of "Lysistrata"
has not ended the story of dis
cord between Aristophanes and
Postmaster-General Summer
field.
A disputed copy of the. ancient
Greek comedy-a rare British
edition illustrated by Australian
artist Norman Lindsay--had
been snatched from the mails
last August by Post Office men
who called it "lewd, lascivious
and clearly non-mailable." BY
yesterday, however, they had
changed their minds and "volun-
tarily released" the book.
This means the California
bookseller who had ordered the
impounded volume will get his
"Lysistrata." His lawyer, Edward
de Grazia, who had the book
open for inspection by the press
at his Office yesterday, will send
1t on to him soon.
But while the American Civil
Liberties Union. Mr.. de Grazia
and his client, California book
seller Harry Levinson, regard the
liberation of the "Lysistrata" as
"an important victory for free
SPEECH" they are not completely
happy. The conditions the Post
Office Department attached to
the de-banning bother them.

with, Mr.. de Grazia says, no

motion to dismiss the action
filed in District Court, the Post
ONCE Department indicated that
the book was relinquished only
upon Mr.. Levinson's assurance
that it was not for general dis
tribution.

Iysistroto' Freed, but She
Isn't Done With Sun1merfjeId

Mr.. Levinson and the Civil
Liberties Union do not agree
that Aristophanes' comedy about
men and women and war should
be withheld from the public.
Mr.. de Grazia plans to oppose
the Post Office Departments
motion to dismiss the case.
He would like to challenge the
constitutionality of the so-called
Comstock Act, which empowers
the Postmaster General to lift
from the mails books he con-
siders obscene" He calls Mr.
Summerfield's action arbitrary.
District Court Judge Matthew
Mcguire ruled recently that
there is no constitutional ques-
ton involved. but Mr.. de Grazia
will appeal the ruling.
Said Mr.. de Grazia, I'VE be-
lieve that the Post Office action
may be properly viewed as an
admission that there is serious
doubt that this law is consti-
tutional."
