THE ACGE DRAGNET
By Bea Canady and Betsy Long

Da. de. da, da, dunn! We've
been checking again and we've
found a few more facts" that
we think will interest you. AS
usual. they're true with no
names or places changed.
Our first case" this week con-
Germs our basketball teams. Our
girls team was really clicking
Friday night. Despite the loss Of
one our starting forwards, Caro-
lyn Gasque, and the fouling-out
of two Of our starting guards,
Shelby Jean Cartrette and Hilda
Mcpherson, we overcame the
strong Devilettes of Tabor City
High School and defeated them
by a score of 64-53 on their
home court. But the Red Devils
came back to avenge the Aggies
with a score of 50-28. At the
finish OF the boys game only
three starters were left on the
court. The Strickland brothers,
Henry and Freddy, and jackson
Gore. We're very proud of our
boys. Their craftsmanship is al
ways wonderful. BY the way,
the game was refreed exception
ally well. The official referees
couldn't make it at the last min
ute so two mighty fine people,
Mr.. Colombo and Mr.. Stowe,
filled in as substitutes. You
should have seen MIR. Colombo!
His uniform was very becoming.
Did you check that real gone
shirt?
Because our net was so full
last week we neglected to tell
you folks about all those lovely
Christmas gifts. Two especially
lovely ones that we failed to
mention We're Idell McPherson's
and Evelyn Cribs beautiful
birthstone rings. Their boy
friends must really be fond of
them, giving them such expen-
sive gifts as that. Idell'S even
had FOUR diamonds on it. All
we can say is Luck Gals"

Our girls team lost the game
against Nakina last Tuesday
night but our All-Stars made up
for il at the March Of Dimes

yet?) Both teams played wond-
erfully well. The al-stars were

Representative Walter, whose
name joins that of the late
Senator. McCarran on the i'm
migration measure, a Demo-
crat from Pennsylvania, lost
little time in coming to the
attack. He charged Mr.. Corsi
with various Communist asso-
Citations, some of which he was
forced to withdraw promptly.
Yet Secretary Dulles, although
a security check was incom-
plete. decided that it was the
better part of valor to remove
Corsi from the immigration
job and create another apart

interests This new job, that of
scouting immigration possibil-
tiles in South America, Mr..
Corsi has turned down.
The bitter politics of the
situation is that Mr.. Corsi is

litical prominence. Italian
immigrants have had to fight
a language barrier which did

John Foster Dulles who has
sometimes demonstrated in
difference to. or at least inde-
pendence of public opinion,
may have bitten off more than
he can chew in his firing of
Edward j. Corsi, the State
Departments expediter of I'M
migration.
The firing has attracted an
unusual amount of criticism
from liberals in both parties.
If it had taken place while
the Senate was in session,
Secretary Dulles would have
been the subject of almost
daily excoriations on the floor.
AS it IS. several Senators have
denounced Mr.. Dulles action,
and many more may attack
it when the Senate resumes.
Mr.. Corsi, a liberal Repub-
lican who had campaigned for
Mr.. Dulles when he was can
didate for the Senate, was
brought to Washington by Sec
retary Dulles as the man most
able to make the immigration
laws work. But Mr., Corsi is
an outstanding opponent of

Recent of1clal reports from
Western Europe paint a very
rosy picture of the European
economy as of this year. The
per capita consumption in the
17-member nations of the Or
ganization for European Eco
nomic Cooperation is placed
at IL per cent higher than
before World War II. Exports
were 10 per cent over those Of
1888, the year before the out
break of the war. Imports
were only IL per cent higher.
a healthy figure indeed. Over
all, the economic health of the
free nations of Europe appears
to be better than it has ever
been and the general standard
of living is significantly i'm
proved.
These cheerful figures are
all the more astounding when
it is considered that in 1945
most Of Western Europe was
PROSTATE. Production. diverted
to military needs for every
five years, had Shuddered to a
halt under the hammer blows
of war and bombings. Produc-
ton machinery Of all kinds
was worn out if it had not been
destroyed. Even agriculture,
badly diSorganized and strug-
Cling without manpower and
machinery, was crippled to the
point that starvation was real
and hopeless. Transportation
was battered and disrupted
over huge areas of the entire
continent, rolling stock
wrecked and worn out, roads.
bridges and railroad tracks de-
stroyed, organizations broken
up and bankrupt.
Yet today, we find that same
war-torn continent in better
shape than it was in the So
called prosperous days before
the march of Hitler's Nazi le-
gions in the fall of 1899.
OF course, the tremendous
and always amazing ability of
mankind to revive, rebuild and
reorganize is here the dominant
factor in this almost incredible
rebirth of Europe from the
ashes. But even the most de-
termined people in the world
need tools to work with. capital
to launch productive enterprise,
supplies and equipment to re-
build dams and bridges. rail-
roads and power stations and
all the other manifold neces-
stiles of a modern society. All
of those things, and much
more. were provided by the
taxpayers of the United States
in a series of plans for grants
in-aid and other economic as
sistance, most of which will
never be directly repaid.
The philosophy behind these
unprecedented gifts to Europe
and they went to both friend
and foe alike-was to the ef-
feet that a sick Europe would
be easy prey to the hungry
march of communism.

the most admired Of Ameri-
cans of Italian ancestry. There
is little doubt that what hap
pens to him will influence
deeply other citizens of like
origin. In some States the
ian-American vote is pow
erful indeed.
There is, in addition, the ef-
feet of Secretary Dulles lction
on liberals. One OF the first OBJ
jections to Mr.. Dulles iiring of
Mr.. Corsi came from JACOB K.
Javits. attorney general Of New
York, and as the only Repub-
licap holder of a State office
there. the leader of the party
in the State. Mr.. Javits IS Lre-
cisely the kind of liberal that
Mr.. Corsi is. and mis- criticism
of the Corsi firing will carry
weight.
Secretary Dulles, who feels
that most of his attention
should be given to high policy
rather than the day-to- day
operations of the department,
may soon find that in avoioing
an argument with Represen-
tative Walter over the appoint

out of the conference with
concessions that changed the
map and future Of the world?
Il do not mean to imply
that Mr.. Roosevelt was actu-
ated by ulterior motives. do
not believe there has ever been
a President of our country who
Intentionally did something
contrary to the best interest
Of our country. Neither do !
seek to detract from Mr..
Roosevelt's great leadership
during the dark days of the
depression. But it is impor-
tant to our children that we
face UP to the ugly truth Of
Yalta in the hope that future
generations will profit by our
mistakes and avoid another
Yaita.
Blind and misguided par
tisanship which defends the
indefensible does not serve the
best interest of our country.
1t Is not a condemnation Of
the Democratic Party today to
acknowledge one of the worst
blunders in the history of our
country. The Republican
Party has been guilty of tragic
blunders. such as the recon-
struction era after the war
between the States which did
so much to retard the politi-
cal, economic and spiritual
growth of our country.
THE party hacks who con-
done and defend the mistakes
of their party are neither
statesmen who serve the in
terest and welfare Of their
country, nor politicians who
serve the ultimate interest Of
their party.
DeSplCe all the oenlalS ana
countercharges, Yalta was a
terrible blunder which has al
ready cost our country precious
lives and billions of dollars
and which may yet plunge us
into a devastating war. Only
if we recognize it as a blunder
and acknowledge its cause can
we profit in the future and
save our civilization from de-
struction.
There are none SO blind as
those who will not see; there
are none so deaf as those who
will not hear. In the world in
which we live we cannot sur
vive If we are blind and deaf to

ultimately at the setting up
of a world union of Soviet
Socialist Republics. This is
a proposition which is beyond
dispute. 1t is substantiated by
voluminous literature of the
Communists themselves.
"'In this plan for world rev.
olution, the Communists have
omitted no country or people
as too small or insignificant to
command their attention They
have, on the other hand taken
the logical position of concen-
trating their attention upon
the richest and most popuious
countries of the earth. Amor G
these the Communists recog-
nize the United States of
America as the foremost. The
Communists conquest of the
earth will be far less than
