Family OILS First to Get
Food Stamps at WeIch

come at all, Mr.. Muncy paid
nothing for the $95 worth of
stamps given them to last a
month. "Yes, sir, this will
help" he grinned.
Gardening has been main
stay of the family's economy,
his wife said, but the dry and
cold growing season is hurting
crops of beans, beetS, onions,
lettuce, cabbage and peppers.
,"And that frost the other
night settled it for the to-
matoes," Mrs. Muncy said.
No Meat for 2 Weeks
The table at the Muncy farm
had held no meat for the past
two weeks. Then, the children
were treated to salt bacon for
breakfast. The 13 children
range in age from II months
to 19 years.
Second in the stamp line
were Mrs. Ebert Hale and her
eight boys. She and her hus-
band live in the coal camp of
Davy.
Mr.. Hale, 81, is a miner
sometimes.
At present, he works three
days a week or two days
or one day and some
times not at all.
Mrs. Hale paid $40 for a two
week supply of stamps worth
$55.
Mrs. Hale finished her shop
ping first and left the Hender-
son supermarket with $27.71 in
groceries. Egged on by her
youngsters, she splurged a lit
tie and bought two watermelonS.
Mr.. and Mrs. Muncy pur-
$40 worth of groceries.

Asked if material security
has tended to make the coun-
try lose its pioneer spirit, JUS
tice Douglas replied, II talked
to a college group the other
day and at one point addressed
myself to those who were to
be married soon by saying,
wouldn't it be much more ex-
citing to live in a foreign area
for a while than to live in a
split-level home next to a
country club with all those
dreary people?"
Calls for Pioneer Spirit
Justice Douglas said the
Peace Corps might act as a
catlytic agent toward the di-
rection of pioneer spirit. He
also suggested that schools
start concentrating on foreign
languages.
At the time when this coun-
try should promote revolution, {"
he said, "the word revolution
has tended to become subver-
sive, Is given a Communist
connotation. My plea is to get

enemy after unconditional
surrender" had been laid down
as the only terms Hitler ever
would get.
The Israeli prosecution of
Eichmann as Heinrich Hmm
ler's right-hand man in the
determination of the Jews pro-
duced a series Of documents,
reaching into the British For
eign Office files, to illustrate
the death Of the Jews last
hopes for survival.
10000 Trucks Demanded
They showed how Eichmann
dispatched a Jewish leader,
Joel Brand, from Budapest
with the plan to redeem a
million Jews against 10000
trucks and set loose a train of
feverish activity.
A meeting with Britain's
Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden in London ensued. Sir
Anthony warned the West had
to consult the Russians and
they could not possibly agree
to anything that looked like
negotiations with the enemy. "
With the deportations of
100000 Hungarian Jews to the
death camps in high gear at
that time, the summer of 1914,
the Jewish leaders also de-
manded that the Allies bomb
the gas chambers of Auschwitz
and the rail lines leading to it..
This was turned down for
political considerations"
ParatrOOp Plan Recalled
Another proposal Of the free
world Jews to drop Palestine
.paratroopS into Hungary as a
cadre of resistance was ap-
proved by Allied military peo-
pie but then was rejected "by
the British Colonial Office" on
political grounds.
Mr.. Brand said the Eichmann
plan really was Himmler's and
showed the whole Hitlerian
outlook on the Jews:
1. They honestly believed"
the Jews were all-powerful,
had Churchill and Roosevelt
in their pockets" and the 10000
trucks would be a mere trifle.
2. Apart from that, they
hoped to enter into the good
books of the Allies and obtain
sanctuary for themselves, pos
sibly even to insure better
treatment for Germany as a
whole"

WEIGH, w. Va, May 81
(AP) The first of eight pilot
food stamp programs of the
Federal Government, using g
form of currency that will buy
only food, began yesterday in
Mcdowell County in the heart
of the soft coal country.
The food coupons replaced
handouts of surplus food COM
modities which more than half
the county's population had
been receiving. Most of the
needy are coal miners, displaced
by mechaniZation.
First to receive stamps in
WEIGH was a family of Is, which
had been without a steady in
come for more than a year.
Anderson Muncy, an unem-
ployed miner, said he managed
to feed his family by gardening,
a few odd jobs and standing in
a monthly line to receive sur
plus food.
"It's Been Rough"
Dressed in khaki work
clothes, the 47-year-old Muncy
reStlessly awaited Secretary of
Agriculture Orville L. Freeman
and Gov. w. w. Barron, who
later gave him the stamps.

Those Cubons Who Never Had Either
Believed Easily Won by Castro Gift

Americans are losing their
freedoms. No American has
lost any freedom. No civil
right has been abridged by
our Government or any Of
it's departments. On the con-
trary, the effort to extend
civil rights to all American
citizens is in many places be-
ing resisted with violence and
delay. It is the greatest
piece Of irony that many Of
those most vocal in demand
ing that America wake up
and protect its freedoms
are leaders among those un-
willing to extend freedom to
all Americans.
Americans are not losing
their freedoms. They could,
Of course, lose them. They
could do so by weakening
this country that it would
be defeated by a Communist
enemy. And they could
weaken it by giving ear to
those who say that the way
to protect our freedoms is to
limit them. But the orators
who cry for us to wake up
rarely spell it out. They
never get around to saying
that the way to make free
dom vital is by example.
The greatest bulwark in
dividual freedom has had in
these testing years is the
Supreme Court. It has held
very scrupulously to the Bill
of Rights. The liberty and
freedom Of American citi-
zens are today more clearly
delineated. Our Government
and our Federal courts are
more aware Of the demands
Of freedom and individual
liberty than at any time in
our history. Most of the free
dom speakers also are critics

Rise of Hostility in Daily Activities

Riders have won a victory"
which most Americans will
applaud" the editorial adds
significantly:
"All the same, it looks as if
this victory can be dimin-
ished, or nullified, If the agi-
tators press on through an
inflamed atmosphere. They
are challenging not only
long-held customs, but pas
sionately held feelings. Nom
violence that deliberately
provokes violence is a logical
contradiction"
What is the "non-viol-
ence" tactic that produces
outbursts of violence? One
elderly woman, who is a keen
observer, writes from
Atlanta, Ca, to this corre-
Spondent as follows:
Il shan't attempt to argue
the merits or demeritS of
segregation. What has been
upsetting me is what is hap
pening to us. Take me-and
am only one of hundreds Of
thousands of SouthernerS-
and we are all alike. I was
brought up to feel quite
deeply that courtesy to 9TH
erS was an obligation to my
self, and the fact that some
Of those others might not
be so fortunate as I only
deepened the obligation.
THE sort Of thing which
is heralded now as racial
prejudice simply never oc-
Cured to us. A black face
was the face Of a friend, and
if the friend stood in need of
help-it was our responsible
ity to offer that help.
"a black face today, how
ever, is not what it was a few
years ago. 1t is the face of a
stranger-and behind it who
knows what is going on? We
have learned what furious,
impotent rage is, and the
miracle is that the South has
exercised, and still is eXerciS-
ing, the control that it has.

Justice Douglas also said that
labor is now more dependent

cede; capital gets more and
more the preferred position.
big government, big busi-
ness, big unions mean that men

march to a tune played by a

seem at times to be ruled by
industrial commissars who set

Cites Dangerous View
"A leading industrialist said
the other day that If his choice
was between a businessman and
q politician, he would take the
businessman. That is a dan
gerous view at war with the
American character and at war
with the needs Of the day. It
is the politician overseas who
will determine the nature of the
society which his new nation
will have"

pendence. Abraham Lincoln and

Freedom VS.. a Plot of Ground

of what they call "the well
fare state" or of "socialistic
give-aways."
Now, we come finally to
Fidel Castro'S illustration. We
wonder why it is that CubanS,
who were assisted to freedom
by the United States, have
allowed Fidel to impose a
Communist-oriented rule.
Castro has popular support
in driving out the Christian
church and preparing to
create his own Cuban church.
He is cheered when he asks
his city proletariat and his
rural "campesinos":: What
has the church ever done for
you? Has 1t given you land,
jobs, medicine for your sick,
education for your children?
Christianity breaches while
socialism communism acts"
A report just issued by
Cuba's Agrarian Institute de-
clares that LAPS titles of
land have been given to land
less cane workers. Each title
is for 672s acres. The gov
ernment retains final title,
as inheritance extends only
to one child, and the land
may not be mortgaged or sold.
Rural housing is being built.
The workers children in
creasingly are being fed,
clothed and educated by the
government.
How will the orators reach
that ragged campesino who
remembers that his father
and grandfather before him
were ragged and miserable?
The challenge Of materialism
and secularism is very real.
We will not interest people of
other lands in freedom unless
we live it. And we can live
it only If a free government
makes freedom viable in the
lives and hearts Of its people.

This finally gets around to
Fidel Castro, but it really is
about the problem Of free
dom. Castro provides the IL
lustration.
On the campuSes these days
one hears an unending
parade Of speakers and semi
mars on freedom. The red
faced orators usually spend
As minutes reminding their
audiences that we must learn
to treasure freedom and
liberty and not take them for
granted, and that we must
wake up about communism.
Seminars discuss the problem
of freedom and how to retain
it.
Most Of these exercises, as
the somewhat bewildered
and usually bored students
come to learn, are mean
inglessly futile. This is a
pity because the principles Of
human freedom as developed
in Western civilization pres
emily are not being sought
in the underdeveloped areas
and In the So-called uncom-
mitted nations.
The great appeal Of quick,
material progress is an in
creasingly powerful influence
in our world. The Christian
church, and organized reli-
gion everywhere, including
even Buddhism in Asia, is
under attack. Secularism is
gaining as is the philosophy
of political materialism. The
Christian church in North
America, Roman Catholic and
Protestant, is aware Of its
vulnerability.

problem for all Americans is
