Brownell had questioned the
loyalty of Mr.. Truman.
Despite Mr.. Rrownell's
prompt disavoWal Of any such
inference, the Democrats stuck
to the accusation and to this
day their speakers repeat the
canard that Mr.. Brownell
questioned the loyalty Of the
former President.
Now it turns out that the
same game is being played in
an effort to discredit Vice
President Nixon. In the past.
such propaganda schemes have
not been perceived by Mr..
Eisenhower, and some of his
answers at press conferences
have been susceptible of an
unfriendly Interpretation with
respect to members of his own
official family.
BY coming out fatty and
demanding that the accusers
of Mr.. Nixon give chapter and
verse to support their criticism,
the President is well advised.
1t shows he is recognizing the
Importance of uniting the Re-
publican Party and preventing
political opponents from dIiv-
ing a wedge between him and
other prominent Republicans.
If the Democrats think it
politically desirable to pursue
the controversy, they will in
the long run be injuring them
selves. For the last thing the
Democrats should want to see
happen is a rehash with kleig
lights of all the cases in which
the Democratic administra-
tions of the past were remiss
in ferreting out Communists
and security risks in Govern
ment.
The President is acting more
like the leader of his party,
and it is a healthy sign be-
cause in 1856 a united Repub-
lican Party is a prerequisite to
victory.

Reds in Indo-C China. And he
has lost no opportunity to lee
ture his chief benefactor,

sity to accept the Communist

There are good reasons to
believe that Tto's present trip
to India and Burma has the
overt blessings Of Moscow and
Peiping. Nothing could please
the Communists more than the
creation of q so-called third
force" which would insure the
balance Of power in favor Of
the Reds at every turn. They
know that the strength Of the
free world depends on the
unity of the nations not yet
enslaved. and the more ma
tions they can induce to dis
associate themselves from the
Vests leadership the weaker

So the bemedalled and be-
spangled Marshal Tito travels
to Asia, urging at his royal
proletarian receptions that his
hosts embrace neutralism as
the hope of the world. 1t is
reported that he will later visit
both Moscow and Peiping,
where no doubt his Communist
hosts will reward him for q job
well done.
Meanwhile, United States
aid has strengthened Tito's
police state. and built up a re-
doubtable Yugoslavian army.
That army stands astride the
weakest link in the Vests

What If Tito should find his

Kremlin more to his liking
than his ties with the West?

built out OF charges that have

as some Democrats tried to
make it appear. By meeting
this budding controversy in its
incipient stages, the Pres
ident prevented the Democrats
from maneuvering him into a
battle inside his own polit-
ical family.
For several weeks now-ia
fact, ever since the Novem-
ber elections-various Demo-
cratic Party spokesmen have
been saying over and over
again that Vice President
Nixon conducted an unfair
campaign because of his ref
erences to the handling OF
Communists in government by
the Truman and Roosevelt
administrations. The criti-
cisms have been repeated often
In Washington, where there
still is a predisposition in
some quarters to believe what
Democratic politicians say
without ferreting out the
facts.
The President asked one Of

Doris Fleeson-

When oveta Culp Hobby
took office as Secretary Of
Health, Education and We'll
fare two years ago. a survey
OF United States educational
needs which Congress had or
dered made was on her desk.
It showed that an appalling
shortage Of classroonas and
teachers existed and would
continue to exist unless imn1e-
diate steps were taken.
g Today the survey has been
brought up to date. 1t shows
that. despite real effort by most
States, the shortage Of class
rooms is even bigger than 1t
was. In the face Of this, more
than a million children entered
school for the first time last
year. and the census figures
show that this enormous influx
will continue for ut least six
more years.

A MODERN DAY ALADDIN

At one time or another, almost
every person who knows the story
of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp
has wished for such a magic
thing - a lamp one can rub to
make wishes come true.
Some eight million Americans
- and their number increases
daily - have discovered a sort of
Aladdin'S lamp - which supplies
magic money to make wishes and
dreams come true.
There is no mystery about it .
no turbaned genie appears to car
~ out the wish. It is simpler than
that - and sounder. 1t is the
u. S. Treasury's Payroll Savings
Plan - surer than any genie out
Of a book of fairy tales. This one
is told in the savings books of the
millions who have learned a sim
pie lesson - the money deducted
from your payroll check or cash
is money you never miss. But it's
always there, growing, earning
interest, increasing every week
and month in United States Saw
ingS Bonds.
1t is the magic lamp which,
when the boy or girl of the fami-
ly is ready to go to college, bust
ness, or art school, produces the
money to pay the bills - money
saved from a payroll savings plan
begun when they were babies.
1t IS the lamp which lights the
way through the darkness of un-
expected illness and hospital bills
the lamp which shows the way
to buy a home to create that
cash reserve which produces the
best sort of security and conf
dence.

that a substantial number of ac-
cidents in which they were in
volved would never have occurred
if the drivers had been observing
the law.
This is the basis for our sug-
gestion that a knowledge of and
respect for traffic laws will bring
about a partial solution of u
traffic accident problem.
All it calls for is a willingness
on the part Of every driver to ac-
accept his responsibility to pro-
tect himself and everyone he
meets in traffic. If each driver IA
miliarizes himself with local traf-
fic laws and then OBEYS them
at all times, we'll be well on the
way to licking our traffic accident

Boy Scout Merit
Badge Show At
Clendiive Mar. II

Plans r being developed for
a merit badge show to be held at
the Washington school gym at
Glendive Saturday, March II.
This is a district event for the
TE-Com district of the Yellow
stone Valley Council, Boy Scouts
OF America, which covers the IL
southeastern counties of Montana,
including Fairview, Sidney, Rich
ey, Circle, Glendive, Wibaux, Ba-
ker, Ekalka and Miles City. This
event is being held to show adults
just what is meant by a merit
badge and at the same time it
will show to other scouts a more
detailed picture of the special
merit badges being demonstrated.
For extra study and actual work
on a specific subject a scout earns
a merit badge. In order to receive
higher advancemnt within the
the scout unit, it is necessary for
the boy to earn a number of these
awards under specific classifica-
tions. Because of the valuable
knowledge the scout gains, merit
badge work is encouraged.
Tickets at twenty-five cents
each for the event are to be sold
by each unit and the money will
go to the treasury of the unit.
Some of the merit badges now
being developed for this show
are, Indian Lure, Cooking, Nature,
Agriculture, Rocks & Minerals and
Leatherwork.
