geance-motivated atrocities
that followed. We have
treated the hammer and
sickle perpetrators as the
moral lepers they have proved
themselves to be.
But, now in this year of
our Lord, the United States
stands condemned by the
blind and blatant reversal Of
our policy Of protesting any
thought Of the present Hun
garian regime being given
diplomatic recognition by the
United Nations. Because Of
propaganda statements. drip
ping with whitewash, credit
ing the dictatorship in Hun
gary with some relaxation Of
oppression, and the softening
of restrictions on religion,
there is in the United Nations
councils a silence heard in
heaven as this land Of liberty
at last is persuaded to abstain
from registering her disagree
ment. That base reversal
must seem to the coerced
Hungarian people as great a
betrayal as was the kiss Of
Judas two thousand years
ago.
No wonder a great news
paper sensing the deal at the
United Nations, under the
black headline of DECEIT
summarizes the action, or the
inaction so far as our vote
is concerned, regarding the
Kremlin's Hungarian puppet,
as washing our hands Of the
victims of tyranny"
One Of the reasons adj
vanced for granting recogni-
ton to the Hungarian jailers
is that they have been
granting amnesty to free
dom fighters whose one
crime is that they believe in
government only with the
consent Of the governed! The
recognition of the present
Hungarian government fur
ther weakens the United
Nations. as Russian tank ex-
perts are added to the already
heavily Soviet-loaded world
organization.
God forgive us as the
United States stands aside
to favor the outrageous
scheme Of allowing the
Kremlin, who robbed and
murdered those who resisted,
to take a place with those
who are supposed to have a
decent respect for the opin-
ions Of mankind. Indignant
letters from aroused cid-
zens of America ought 10
flood the State Department
and Congressl No one, how
ever high in our official life,
can possibly sincerely believe
in recognizing Red Hungary
and at the same time believe
in government by consent Of
the governed.
James Russell Lowell, this
day America has need Of

us in the U. N. who, with
you, would exhort-

Time to Take Control

WINGED that II he pauSes for moment
someone less scrupulous will pass him.
The result is a lemming-like scramble,
gathering aimless momentum in its
descent to disaster.
There is only one man who can
fill the leadership void at this juncture,
and that Is the President. It will not
be easy even for him to command the
attention of those who have yielded
Historically to the vision Of "every-
thing now" No single, cozy fireSide
chat will do the job. But If he moves
boldly to seize and hold the initiative,
engaging the full moral energy of his
office day by day to lead the Nation
through this time of domestic crisis,
he can succeed.
He can persuade the white majority
that the Negro must be given his full
rights of citizenship And he can make
the Negro see that no matter what is
done, the bitter heritage of the past
cannot be wiped out overnight. He can
bring home to us all the fact that our
only salvation lies in the rule of law
"a law before which all men are equal,
and which all men must respect.
The political complexities of a
determined move by the President to
take control are, of course, immense.
But he will have to do it in the end.
And the situation he must ultimately
face up to will become more difficult
with each passing day Of strife.

GRO STAFF BLOOPER!

The pre-Chri s tmas adverti sement for Tazlina River Trading Post read as fol- lowss "Send home to friends or family, or add to your coll lections BONE CHINA CUPS & SAUCERS, INDIAN FISH WHEELS"
 The idea of selling miniature fish wheels sounded logical and like a good idea for Chri istmas present, however, the GRO Staff underestima ted the fOre- si ght and progressive thinking of Lucy and Leonard.
 The ad should have read, English Bone China Cups and Ssucers wi tn exclus sive design of a Copper River Indian Fi shwheel sceneo Lucy and Leonard have these fine cups and saucers for sale now in their store. This is truly a sig of progressive thinking directed toward the development of the Copper River Basin.
 Area merchants are encouraged to study the pOssi bili ties of similar oper- ations.
 Area customers should explore the merchandise offered by the local retailer before making purchases in Anchorage or outside. Local prices may be slightly higher5 however, in some ins stances, low CT, but the returns are so much higher.
 For example, have you ever been pull led out of a snow bank by Safeway or Sears & Roebuck lately?
 Then, support basin commerce! Don't "Blooper" by underestima ting the future of the Copper River Basin.

 Dec. 28, 1902 Dear Editors
 On Dec. 25, 1862, went to Mentasta Lake Village to visit some friends. When I arrived there I informed that the village was going to have a Chri stmas Supper. They wanted to invite some people but there weren't anyway of notifying any, body.
 The Supper cOnsi sted of many good things, among which IT. Il mention here. There was turkey ham, dressing, salad, sweet potatoes, raspberry, peas, pies, and cakes. All this prepared by Kitty John, Laura Justin2 and their fami ly. After the meal Kitty John told us who was responsible for the foode She said the American Legion was chiefly the one who donated the fine food which many enjoyed. I think that for all of us who attended, we would like to thank the American Legion for it's fine efforts.
 Thank you,

 I surely do not agree wi tn Mrs. Whaley one bit. I don't think that she has been around lately. I don't believe she believes in God or she would never talk against people of ei ther race or color.
 I don't agree wi tn her on anything she said because we have bricks in Alaska. She also said we children can't get out because of a cramped COndi tiOn. As far as I can see we are not in cramped con- ditiOno And l hope you publish this.
