seventh consecutive month in which
benefit payments dropped and the
second consecutive month in which
payments were under those of the

Mr. Cromwell said the decrease
was due to improved economic

and to the fact that many claim

There's Some Good

ONE of the perversities of human ma
~ ture is that often individuals bless
ed with many things in common, dis
agree violently and unintelligently upon
the merits of relatively minor matter.
There seems to be trait in many in
dividuals that compels them to be fight
ing about something all the time. If no
major issues appear, they vigorously
pump up minor questions, arousing ILL
feeling and promoting them in positions
of seeming Importance.
Much the same characteristic is
evidenced in our attitude toward the
institutions of mankind. Without giving
proper proportion to the great and over
whelming good many of us incline to
hunt up minor irritations and, in the
excitement of the search, we often lose
sight of the tremendous good that ex-
lists.

Public Housing
Columbia Is. CO. State

NEW York City has just raised sub
stantially the maximum income
limits which families may receive and
still live in the subsidized public hous-
ing projects.
The top limit now stands at S8,112
per annum for families with children.
The theory back of the public housing
projects is supposedly to provide hous-
ing for those who can't afford
adequate" quarters without such SUBJ
sidization.
AS we recall, this $4,000 per annum
is slightly more than the average in
come per family in the United States.
Following this formula, it means this
country by about 1865 might have to
provide housing for Appropriated so
million families and the taxes on the
other so million privately owned res
licences will have to be substantially
increased.

A Man Of Peace

DAG Hammarskjo DID, secretary general
of the United Nations, was sin
cere, dedicated, man of peace. He lost
his life Monday in an airplane crash
seeking peace in the Congo He pro-
badly gave his life for peace. The cir
cumstances surrounding the plane crash
have not yet been made entirely clear
In any event, his death was mourned
throughout the western world, and nom
communist countries by men who had
worked with him in the United Nations
Russia and the communist nations ex-
pressed regrets formally
1t will be remembered that Nikita
Khrushchev demanded changes in the
United Nations executive branch re-
placing Hammarskjold, with a frisco
rotary executive board, which would
provide Russia with representation and
a veto as to composition of the COM
mittee. Russian demands were rejected
in the U. N. after Hammarskjold re-
fused to resign, amid applause of the
free world world and banging by
Khrushchev. Probably, Hammarskjold
reached his highest point of a peace
maker then. Certainly, he dared to cross
the Russian dictator courageously and
definitely.
He was a man of peace.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-09-22

The question is asked now: Who will
succeed Dag Hammarskjold?
No one appears to step toward, to
stand out as his successor. We may be
sure that Russian will again demand a
tri-party board which it will attempt
to control If veto of any member is
to be legalized, then no one but COM
munist servant will be among those
elected.
With Hammarskjold may 60 the

mands may be such as to make it inn
possible for the free nations to find

These are questions which will be

World History Turning Point

for instance, would the menace today
be worse than the Communist menace?
Perhaps the main lesson to be learn

derestimated the Russians, and their
strength This was his fatal military
mistake. The United States is danger

there will be no mistakes in estimation

The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-09-22

IN these times of international ten
sion and cold war, it is only natural
that we think back to the war between
Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stain, and
reappraise our participation in that
great conflict.
Twenty years ago, the collision of the
German and Russian armies in June,
1871, was perhaps the greatest collision
of great modern armies in the history Of
the world If one will remember, Hitler
crushed Poland in the fall of 1889, start
ing World War II, and then occupied
Denmark and Norway, in a lightning
campaign, in April, 1910.
The next month, on May 10, 1910, he
invaded Belgium, HOLLAND and France,
and received French surrender, and
had run the British off the continent by
late June - in just six weeks. For
time, the world expected Hitler to in
wade England, but subsequent reports,
uncovered documents of military con-
ferences, and studies of Hitler, have
convinced most experts that he never
was very eager to invade Great Britain.
Rather, he hoped that Britain world sue
for peace, for Hitler maintained firm
resolve in his mind, to look to the East
for Germanys expanded living area.
The East meant Russia.
Later information reveals that Hit
Ter gave up any notion of invading Eng
land, if he had held it seriously at all,
by the early fall of 1910, and was al
ready redeploying his troops in the
East Diaries and records also show
that had he not been called upon to bail
out his ally, Mussolini, in Greece, which
Mussolini that attacked, he would have
opened his offensive against the Rus
slams on May Is. AS it was, he had to
conduct the military campaign in the
Balkans, subdue Yugoslavia, and crush
Greece, and was not able to begin his at
tack on Russia until the latter part Of
June.
That six weeks delay is thought by
some experts to have been decisive, be-
cause Hitler reached the outskirts of
Moscow in December, 1910, but the win
ter caught him and stalled his armies
before the Russian capital could be cap
tured. This, in turn, allowed the Allies
to feed supplies and equipment to the
Russians during the winter, and Hitler
was never able to strike them with the
surprise effectiveness and superiority
with which he had opened his campaign
in 1910.
AS the whole picture is revealed, over
the years, one naturally thinks back and
weighs, in his mind, the results of vari-
Gus courses of action, had they been
adopted. Had Hitler crushed Russia,

Allegiances And Loyalties

To three things man owes
unqualified allegiance-his faith.
his family. and his country.
II this premise be acceptable
in the sight Of Americans, why
should there be hesitation over
open admission of those loyal
ties?
Yet we seem to have become
so reasonable so tolerant"
and so "enlightened" that we
shun truths and beliefs which
once were considered absolutes.
Too many Americans shy
away from open professions of
faith and daily devotion to their
religion lest they be considered
fanatics. They react with en-
arrassment to frank discussions
Of salvation and even of theology
itself.
There are A erica 5

quently loose in their morals,
and often failures in their homes.
Now we have the spectacle of
the quasi-patriot-the individual
whose love of country is diluted
by a fear of being thought "ec-
centric |as Maj. Gen. Edwin
Walker was described). And with
them are the academic free
DOM riders who take personal
affront over being asked to
swear allegiance when they &C
cept educational aid from the
United States.
There are men in high place
whose consuming concern Is not
whether the United States pro-
tects its interests. but how
Americans will be regarded by
other nations-most OF whose
own conduct is not worthy OF
emulation.
There are other men. in high
place and low, whose constant
goals are the weakening OF the
national fiber. the spreading OF
confusion. the seeding Of doubt,
and the lowering of resistance.
Their work is all the more
shameful because it so often is
done in the name Of those very
things it seeks to undermine.
Today, as Sc d 0 m before,
Americans should be willing to
witness for their country-and
to witness in a double sense ::
They need to witness and OBJ
serve what is happening to
them, to their nation, and to the
world.
And, perhaps of even greater
importance, they need to witness
in the Biblical sense-to stand
forth in personal testimony and
dedication to the truth as they
see it, even if it be at the ex'
pense Of their lives.
Patriotism is not solely bat
tlefield virtue. If often demands
more courage on the home front
than on the battlefront.
Patriotism entails the risk Of
being branded a trouble-maker
of being thought a chauvinist
of being stunned by a power
structure which prefers weasel
words to blunt talk.
But when the times demand
such patriots, America will pro
duce them.
Some will be in uniform, like
Gen. Walker.
Others will be in the halls OF
Congress, like South Carolina S

How to
STOP. KILLING
YOURSELF
New Forms of Anesthesiu
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Anesthesia has kept pace
with other giant strides in
medicine. The amazing ad-
vances in heart and lung
surgery have been possible,
in part, because of the sur
geon's complete confidence
that the anesthesiologist
would bear his part of the
operative burden.
When operating, the sur
geon wants to feel more
than reasonably sure that
the man at the head of the
operating table will safely
put the patient to sleep, keep
him relaxed, and have him
in condition to wake up
without complications from
the a1leSthesia.
Giving an aneSthetic used
to be a relatively simple
procedure. Many was the
patient I put to sleep when
I was an intern. I can still
smell the chloroform or the
ether. I can still feel the
cone over the patients
mouth and nose and see the
steady drip of the anes-
thetic. I recall the patients
struggle as he passe d
through the second stage of
ether anesthesia.
Remember, I am not re-
ferring to the days Of cave
man medicine-all this hap
pened little more than a
quarter of a century ago.
Today, laughing gas, ether
and chloroform have for the
most part been displaced by
many complex formulas. You
have probably had the ex-
perience of going right off
to sleep before the count
down: The anesthetist pricks
the vein with a needle and
slowly injects sodium pento-
thai Cor something similar)
and asks you to count
slowly: before you have
reached the objective of 10
or zero, you are under. When
you awake, the operation is
over.
I have been reading of a
brand new type of aneS-
thesia-electrical anesthesia
1t is in the experimental
stage. But don't be surprised
If 1t becomes routine pro-
cedure in a few years to put
patients to sleep with a
