That Man Walker


on the dangers and evils of communism,
although there is no evidence that he
has any experience dealing with it or
knows any more about communistic
dangers than the run of the mill citi-
ZenS.
His press relations among the
right-wingers has been about all he
could reasonably ask for. They are
writing ringing e~xhortations that seek
to make their hero the man of the peo-
pie, riding his trusty steed and chal-
longing all corners.
And as usual they are mixing a
few truths with a lot of misinforma-
ton and hooey in an effort to gid a
sorry lily.
For instance, a column in one OF
Mississippi's newspapers stated that
Walker was chased out of honorable
military service for being "too patrl-
Otto" This in spite of the fact that
Walker wasn't forced out of the army,
but resigned. He was merely ordered
to stay out of politics and give his
attention to his duties as an officer.
This did not suit him.
Another Mississippi writer solemnly
asserted that Walker is "the target of
communism" and implied that this
caused his military trouble. Actually,
there is no proof that the small hard
core communism group in America, or
the about communists in Russia know
anything about Walker or care. He is
a small and insignificant target, not
worth attention of the Reds.
Furthermore, he is hardly an able
crusader in shining armor. His first
televised address in Dallas a short time
back was far from being a success. If
he had a message of Importance to tell
the people, he failed to put it over.
Fumbling. h~esitant and hazy, his adj
dress had little or no merit.
In view of the fact that in years
past many another man on a white
charger, with less talent and with a
weaker cause to trumpet, has been
taken to the hearts of certain elements
of the American people, the e%x-general
may turn out to have a great follow
ing in spite of the fact that zone of
his followers, nor himself, is quite ure
just where they are to be led.
Walker is no worse than a lot of
others who have been a flash in the
pan. And, he is no better.

In March of Dimes Disease Battle

A small, yellow envelope
serving as a harbinger Of
an expanding war on Grip
ping disease arrives in the
mailboxes of 40 million
American families this week.
1t brings the mailer" of the
1862 March of Dimes, now ded-
icated to seeking the answers
to birth defects and arthritis
while continuing its work in
polio. Printed on each envelope
is the confident prophecy,
"Your Dimes Will Do 1t Again!"
Addressed by tens of thou
sands Of volunteers in the
county chapters of The Ma
tional Foundation March OF
Dimes across the nation, this
symbol of scientific research
and total medical care for the
victims of these diseases prom
ises immediate help and future
hope through the generosity of
the American people.
The prediction on the mailer,
"Your Dimes Will Dc 1t Again."
is a reference, of course, to
development of the Salk anti
polio vaccine and to the later
Sabin oral vaccine. Both were
made possible, as were the
medical care and rehabilitation
of many of those p%aralyzed by
polio, by public contributions
to the March of Dimes. Many
millions of the dollars so well
used to bring about these ac-
complishments came to local
chapters through similar mail
RS in years past.
Recipients of these mailers,
including those in distant Ha-
wall and Alaska, were urged
by March of Dimes leaders this
week to return the mailers to
local chapters as promptly as
possible.
As one chapter chairman
said: "Aside from financial out
lays needed urgently for re-
search and for total medical
care of victims, The National
Foundation : March of Dimes
must expand its already exist
ing national network of chap

Editorial OF Note

Edwin A. Walker, a one time major
general in the United States Army, is
due in Jackson Friday night to carry
his campaign of truth" to the people
of Mississippi.
Sponsored by something called
mississippi Friends of General Walk
err" trumpets are sounding to the eff
feet that his appearance will be the
greatest attraction coming to the Mag
nolia State since the dawn of the TWEEN
tieth century, or at least since Senator
Barry Goldwater was a visitor.
Like a good many others before
him who sprang into the limelight al
most overnight, the eN-general has no
record of accomplishments which justi-
fly all the hurrah being famed to bring
out a large crowd to hear him.
General Walker found his fame
starting from what would appear adj
verse circumstances, the command of
federal troops in Little Rock. Many of
those now praising him were angrily
%denouncing him only a few years ago.
True, the e~x-general says he was only
obeying orders and was against what
he was doing, but be didn't resign at
that time his command as he did later.
The other claim to fame is that
Walker endeavored to indoctrinate his
soldiers with the teachings of the John
Birch Society and %endeavored to get
them to vote a slate for Congress ap-
proved by Walker and the Society
which at the time he was so stoutly
championing.
Called on the carpet and repri-
manded for doing things forbidden to
military officers - dabbling in politi-
cal affairs while in active service -
Walker decided he could capitalize On
this as we'll as he did on the Little
Rock adventure. He resigned from mill
tary service and has hit the speaking
trail which appears lush and inviting,
things being what they are in the era
of fear and Illustration, and he has
picked the South as the place to get
going good.
Like the Society with which he
was closely associated - but now he
says he is on his own = the ex-general
is using the communist fear to put
himself over while plugging for other
things that have nothing to do with
communism.
He is being praised for his stand
