In McCorthy's Corner

Thomas L. Stokes enjoyed q
field day Growing over the re-
lection Of the Mccarthy reso-
luton. In substance. the reso-
luton was nothing more than
a reminder to President Eisen-
hover Of his 1852 campaign
pledge to seek the liberation Of
the Communist satellite ma
tions and, had it been pro-
posed by some other Senator,
it would probably have been
considered on its merits and
approved after amendment.
However, the sting of the
defeat suffered by the Army
at the hands of the "con-
demned" Senator in the Army
Mccarthy hearings was re-
vived by the announcement of
the resignation Of Secretary
Stevens and the opportunity
Tor political retaliation was too
good to be wasted. This Is
obvious from the fact that a
proposed amendment to meet
the principal objection to the
resolution was rejected. Had
the Mccarthy resolution di-
rected the President to insist
upon the release Of American
prisoners now held by the
Russian and Chinese Reds the
adverse vote would not have
been materially different.
To accurately characterize
this little display Of senatorial
retribution 1t may not be amiss
to borrow q few words from
one Of The Stars editorials
"a disgraceful result of q
shameful procedure"
o. r.
The press now tells the
reader that the Senate twice
has censured the Wisconsin
misunderstanding, of course,
that the average reader will
read only the American press
and will never get the truth
by reading the facts In the
Congressional Record or by be-
ing where Senator Mccarthy
Is when he does his talking.
Next, the American press
and The Star, Of course, is no
exception--will begin telling
the people that Senator Nc
Carthy is about to be dumped
by his own party in Wisconsin
and therefore by the good peo-
pie of the great State of Wis
consin. Just recently 1900
delegates to the Republican
State convention at Ripon,
Wis, stood UP and cheered
when Senator Mccarthy told
them that they are "the peo-
pie responsible for Mccarthy
ism"

bronze turkeys on the range all summer. David
and his dog Cocoa have the job Of keeping them
eating until they go to market in October.
The two are kept busy rounding up strays dur
ing the day and guarding the flock at night from
badgers. foxes and marauding dogs. David helps
haul, during the summer, $500 gallons of water.
so bushels of feed, rs bushels of oats and lis
bushels of corn day. All this so you can yell for

it was pretty dull and lonely
for her and somebody else
came along. Then I was

He shrugged. "There wasn't
anybody or anything much
that was important to me
then. There didn't seem to
be any particular reason to
get well or to make an effort.
I don't think would have
made it, either, If 1t hadn't
been for Ruth"
"Ruth?" I echoed, imagin-
ing a pretty young nurse and
quickly envisioning a hospital
romance with all the trim
mings. My neighbor went
on, thinking out loud as we
sat there strapped In our seats
1000 feet up in the middle Of
the storm.
II don't know what it was
about Ruth. She didn't talk
much and I didn't either. But

Woman Named Ruth

"Was she pretty?" I ven-
tured.
Pretty? No, she wasn't
pretty-not a bit pretty. And
she wasn't young. I don't
know how old she Was-around
so or maybe even so. And I'm
sure she wore all the wrong
clothes though I never noticed
them much. She worked and

money, but she had volunteer

why she understood about pain
and aloneness."

for a while, then went on.
when I left the hospital /
stayed at her place for awhile.
Other released patients were
there too. She didn't have
much room, but she put up
cots and we all helped with
the work. Then when we felt
better we went on back to
wherever we came from. !
guess several of us would
never have gotten out of that
ward If it hadn't been for
Ruth. She did something-I
don't know what it was-to
everybody who came in con-
tact with her. Yet after we
were completely well and on
our feet she seemed to sort of
lose interest in us. But no
one of us will ever forget her."
The plane landed-smooth-

belts. climbed down the steps
and said our goodbyes. My
companion. businesslike and

ground, looked as If he wished
he hadn't talked so much.
