an ambition to go to Congress and
help make the laws of our country.
What he wanted to do he usually
did, and so David Crockete was
elected to Congress three times;
in 1926, 1928, and 1882. They say
he got many votes because ne was
such a funny man and could make
the voters laugh. Legend has it
that "he could grin the br;.k off
an oak tree"
Many other legends have grown
up about Davy Crockett, but the
greatest story of all, that of his
death at the Alamo, is no legend.
He had thrown in his lot with the
brave men who were fighting for
the independence of Texas from
Mexico, among them the famous
James Bowie. Besieged at the
little mission called the Alamo, a
small group of these men had the
choice of surrender or certain
death, and they chose death be-
cause to them that was the honor
able thing to do. When Santa
Anna, the Mexican leader, and his
soldiers attacked, the Texans
fought until their ammunition
gave out and then they fought
hand to hand with muskets and
clubs. They knew that the fight
was hopeless, but they made the
Mexicans pay dearly for their
victory. When Santa Annals sol
diers reached the center of the
mission, all but six of the defend
ers, among them Davy Crockett,
were dead. These Santa Anna or
dered killed, and so ended the life
of the liking of the wild frontier"
No one can know what the
thoughts of man were at such
a time. Crockett must have
thought of his wife and children,
of the plains he loved. A man who
loved life so dearly could not well
come death; yet he refused to es-
cape while there was still time. He
had the courage to die for some
thing he believed in, the right of
men to govern themselves as they
saw fit. And that, children, is
more important thing to remem-
Der about Davy Crockett than the
fact that he shot 100 bears.

By CAROLYN LLOYD

1t seems that the recent song
hit, "The Ballad of Davy Crock
EFT" has put some mothers on the
spot. Their children, fascinated by
the ballad about "The king of the
wild frontier" are demanding To
know if he was a real man and
if all those things the song says
are true. This column is for their
benefit.
Yes, children, Davy Crockett
was a real man, just like your
daddy-well, maybe not just like
your daddy, but a real man any
how. He was born in Tennessee
in 1886. 1t is doubtful that he
killed a "bar" when he was three
years old, but there is no doubt
that he was a bit wild for his age.
On his fourth day at school he
ran away from home, and from
then on he was a roamer. At an
age when little boys today are
playing cowboys and Indians,
Davy Crockett was getting a taste
of the real thing. No 90 rifles for
him; Davy had a real gun and
became a great hunter. He claim
ed to have killed 100 bears in his
lifetime. He became a scout-not
a Boy Scout, but one who guided
troops into unknown lands, hunt
ed wild game, and made a repu-
tation as a brave and fearless
fighter.
When David Crockett was
eighteen years old, he finally
learned to read. 1t is much easier
to learn to read when you are
seven or eight than it is when you
are eighteen; so that, too, took
courage, though of different
kind. 1t must have been hard for
a man who loved outdoor life so
we'll to sit with a book in hand
and patiently learn to make words
out of letters. A whole new world
was opened up to him through
books, and soon Davy developed

Trade Boord Unit Drives
For United Chority Fund

this week that time is running
out for Washington to decide on
a united fund drive this year.
He said that unless a strong
effort is made by early July to
wrap up separate drives. for vol
untary health, welfare and recre-
alton agencies, the Chest would
go ahead with its own plan for
another Community Chest cam
paign this fall.
He pointed out the Chest is
already the closest thing in the
Washington area to a united
fund. since it embraces 110 mem
ber agencies.
Would Give Up Identity
But he said that in the in
terest OF a more inclusive cam
paign, the Chest is ready to give
up its identity and merge with
a new, larger organization.
He suggested that one reason
some independent agencies were
reluctant to join up was their
insiStence on the freedom of
choice" IN Gaming both the
agencies freedom to stay out of
a united fund and the public's
freedom to select the charity to
which it will contribute.
But he said people of the COM
have expressed them
selves as wanting to give
through a united fund rather
than through many separate
drives. He also noted the Chest
encourages donors to designate
where their gifts will go.

The Board of Trades united
fund study committee hopes tc
schedule a meeting next week
with major Embarrassing agen-
cies to sound out their views or
a combined appeal.
John A. Reilly, who heads the
committee, said he was en-
couraged that business leaders
are behind a united charity ef-
fort.
"The business people want it,
he said. II don't think there is
any doubt about it.
But he said there were many
things to be explored, particu-
larly the need for obtaining full
cooperation from the fund
raising organizations.
Strive for Fail Campaign
The committee must come ur
with a proposal within the next
few weeks if there is to be a
united appeal by fall. Mr.. Reilly
said he was not sure all question
marks could be ironed out in
time for a fall campaign, al
though he said a genuine ef-
fort" would be made to do so.
From a meeting with such
raising agencies as cancer
heart. polio, the Red Cross and
Community Chest organizations
the committee hopes to deter
mine how far the individual
groups will go in combining fund
appeals.

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland has taken the lead in
defending President Eisenhower
against an attack by Senator Nc

cision to go into a Big Four con-

In Senate speech yesterday
Senator Mccarthy called the de-
cision for a meeting at the sum-
NIT "a tragic blunder."
Like Teheran, like Yalta, like
Potsdam, it will be a humping
Communist victory" said the
Wisconsin Republican.
Senator Knowland, who at

foreign policy against Commu-
mist aggression in Asia, was quick
to take the floor yesterday to
challenge some of the arguments
raised by Senator Mccarthy
against the forthcoming meeting
Sees West Losing
Senator McCarthy'S main
theme was that the free world
cannot hope to win in the dis
cussions because he said the
Russians would talk only about
what they could get and not what
they might give up.
Senator Knowland denied that
the Soviets would j.. be able to

New Providence Hospital has

country would agree to neutral
izing Germany.
Senator Knowland said he,
too, would be concerned about
the meeting if he thought it
would be another Yalta but
added, Il am not willing now
to take that defeatist attitude.
The Californian agreed with
Senator Mccarthy that the So
Wet Union has a record of ig-
noring past agreements. but he
said President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles "are fully alive
to that fact and it might well be
that the Soviet world would find
itself in a difficult position if at
the conference we suggested they
live up to their past agreements
for free elections in satellite
countries"
Senator Mccarthy suggested
that Senator Knowland was en-
gaging in a vain hope of getting
the Russians to renounce world
domination.
II think the Senator from
Wisconsin is assuming something
that is not in evidence" Senator
Knowland replied. Secretary
Dulles has indicated he intends
to raise the question of the status
of captive satellites in Eastern
Europe"
Senator Knowland said the
President agreed to go to the
conference, not with a desire for
peace at any price, but with a
desire for a peace with honor
and a belief that exploratory
talks would be worthwhile.
Senator Knowland said he did
not think Senator Mccarthy has
given sufficient weight to the i'm
portance of atomic weapons as a
vast new force for causing the
people of Russia as well as other

countries to negotiate at the con-
ference table.
Thye, Bender Join In
Two other Republicans, Sena-
tors Thye of Minnesota and
Bender of Ohio joined Senator
Knowland in expressing full con-
fidence in the ability of Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles to take care of themselves
lin any international conference.
Senator Mccarthy told Sena-
tor Bender, The President is
going to the conference with the
deck stacked against him.
II do not care what ones mo-
Itives are, if he is playing poker
with a deck stacked against him
he will lose, even though his mo-
tives are the finest in the world" I"
Senator Bender replied that
the President is aware Of the
motives of the Communists. The
Ohioan said he is sure the Pres
ident will handle the interests
of the United States in a manner
to bring credit to this country
and the whole world.
