Tuesday, August 18, 1953 MAIENKOV STRATEGY The announcement by Russia's Malenkov that-Jus country has the hydrogen bomb may be propaganda issued to inspire fear. A dictatorship, any dictatorship, is built on fear, and dictators finally get into a frame of thinking that regards fear as the chief weapon. True it is that fear is a powerful force within a dictatorship itself, to keep the home folks in line. Rule by terror was the method Mussolini used for years to keep Italians quiet; Hitler used the same method on his German victims; Stalin employed it in Russia and the satellite countries, and Malenkov is probably depending on it today.

Success at home in the use of fear almost certainly causes the dictators to believe that it can be successfully used abroad. And it is just there that they have always made their worst miscalculation-all of them, from Mussolini to Stalin. The resort to the weapons of fear has invariably stiffened the backbone of the nations tha- oppose dictatorships. In the end i destroyed Mussolini and Hitler and there is at least a chance thai it will eventually destroy the Russian dictators. If the announcement that Russia has the hydrogen bomb is merely a move in the policy of fear, the chances are a hundred to one that it will have the opposite effect from the one the Russians hope.

It will almost certainly stiffen the free world's backbone. At the moment when western alliances threaten to fall apart, it becomes a cement that welds them together. And at a time when free nations all over the earth seem inclined to let their guarc down, it will cause all of them to think again and keep themselves strong. The practical effect of the sensational announcement is the same, whether Malenkov's claim is truth or propaganda. In either case it serves as a powerful reminder that this is not the time to disarm or to relax in vigilance Already the talk of a United States of Europe has been given renewed emphasis.

The Russians may have in mind that the announcement will frighten the free nations into yielding to their demands; or the announcement may represent actual fact. In either case, it is obviously the business of the free world to increase its guard. any single development. The 13 new establishments employing eight or more persons had only 207 workers on their payrolls. Lenawee's old established firms absorbed the increased number of workers through expansion programs or increased production schedules.

The employment service says that the increase in employment largely was due to "the general upward trend in civilian output." Defense work had little bearing on the increased number of workers employed. The prospect is good for the future. The indications are that the end of the Korean war will have little effect on industrial production in the area. Adrian and the county just continues to grow and become a busier Daily Telegram. TROUBLE WITH CONGRESS "I have Congress on my hands." So President Cleveland groaned in a letter to a friend, after a particularly harrying session with the lawmakers.

He put bluntly what nearly all presidents feel at one time or another, that Congress seems to enjoy thwarting them, and that they could do much better if that body were on vacation. President Eisenhower almost certainly is not free from this sentiment. Not only have some of his plans, like increasing the federal debt limit, been positively vetoed by Congress, but others have gone through in forms not just what he would have liked, and still others have provoked clamor and attack which would annoy the thickest-skinned chief executive. These drawbacks were not always balanced by legislative victories for the administrative program. So probably the President is content to go it alone for a while without having Congress looking over his shoulder.

On its creditable side Congressional examination of administration men and measures has often uncovered grave defects which might otherwise have been overlooked With all its defects our legislative system still works. But oh the waste of our tax dollars. He was a widely-known and sought- after toastmaster, a task which he delighted in doing. Webb McCall had a wide list of acquaintances throughout the state, in fact everywhere he went, because he had a congenial personality and made friends easily. He had that faculty of making a person feel at ease and was an interesting conversationalist though a variety of topics might be discussed.

By the nature of his career, he was in a spot where he could do a lot of good in his community. The publisher a i newspaper is often the main spark behind civic programs and Webb McCall carried a full share of such responsibilities. Consequently, Mt. Pleasant will always bear some of the marks of his handiwork and other Michigan communities will miss him too. He was one of the main figures of "the McCall family" which has contributed so much to Michigan news- papering and community building.

SUFFICIENTLY URGED, HE DID IT One of a family of toads fell into a deep rut made by trucks. He said in dismay, "I can't get out." All kinds of suggestions were offered by the family, and finally they went home in dismay. When they awoke the next morning, to surprise, the lost toad was there. "Why, how did you get out of the rut?" the family exclaimed. Very simply he announced, "A truck came along." The Sentinel File TEN YEARS AGO John J.

(Guest Editorial) STILL GROWING Two developments in recent days have emphasized the growth of Adrian and the Lenawee county area. The report of the Michigan Employment Service for the first six months of 1953 showed that county employment reached an all- time high during the period. Two hundred and twenty-seven establishments employing eight or more persons had 17,073 on their payrolls. A year ago 214 firms employed 13,661 persons. The gain was nbout 25 per cent.

Most of the gain was noted In industrial plants. The publication of a new Adrian direction by the R. L. Polk Com- pnny also noted signs of growth The new directory contains 783 nwn than the 1950 edition some 18,453 listed in Adrian the rural areas. In the classt- S32 group of nre listed ranging from to "yarns, Rains growth were not by any single industry or The welfare and happiness of our homes is of great importance.

Love, kindness, forgiveness, may be reflected in every-day living. Many noble characters have graduated from the school of Hard Knocks. Peace has finally been negotiated in bloody Korea. Let us hope that the idea is contagious and spreads to other parts of the world where foolish men might be toying with the idea of indulging in that grimmest of games. Usually the fellow who goes throwing his weight about has a very poor sense of balance.

The fellow who complains that he doesn't feel like himself may not be too badly off. He might even feel like someone better. Press Comment MICHIGAN PAYS HOMAGE TO W. WEBB McCALL When you mention the name McCall in Michigan newspaper circles, you are talking about a family that is well known from one end of the state to the other. And the person to whom you are talking immediately knows at least one of the "McCall boys." The Ithaca, Grand Haven and Holly newspapers currently are published by some member of the McCall family.

Until four years ago, W. Webb McCall published the Isabella County Times News in Mt Pleasant where he had edited the paper for more than 20 years converting it from a weekly to a daily publication. In 1949, he sold his interest and it is, now published by Jarnes J. Slattery. Today, Mt.

Pleasant is paying its last respects to Mr. McCall whose contributions went far beyond the circulation area of his newspaper Instrumental in the activities of the Michigan Press Association, he was a former president. At his death, he was a member and past chairman of Michigan's i -ouncil which promotes the tourist business for all of Michigan. He also had been interested in the East Michigan Tourist Association which has headquarters in Bay City. At home, he had been as busy any newspaper editor but still bund time for active participation civic affairs.

He was a former city commissioner, a charter mem- er and former president of the Rotary Club, a past president of he Mt. Pleasant Chamber of Com- nerce and one of the leaders in juilding a community hospital In SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO Otsego-- Two army fliers engaged in maneuvers with the Second Army were killed today when their pursuit ship caught fare during a power dive over a farm near Otsego. The victims were 2nd Lieut. William W. Harding of Los Amgeles, attached to the 94th pursuit squadron at Selfridtge field, and Pvt.

Francds Maier, 19, of Dowagiac. They were killed after they had bailed out of their blazing' craft. Death of the two fliers were the first fatalities directly connected with the army maneuvers in which 24,000 en-listed men and members of the national guard are participating. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs.

Arthur Van Dyke of Grand Rapids. Mrs. Van Dyke was formerly Miss Elsie An informal family party was held at the Henry De Pree cottage at Tennessee Beach ha celebration of the 49th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. De Pree.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO The Macatawa Resort Association has bought the Ottawa Beach resort property and will be capitalized and improved until the two pieces of property will be worth a million dollars, according to announcement given out at the park. Rev. Benjamin Rottschaefer, who was a member of the board of control of the school for missionaries' children in South India will be returned to this country recently, announced today that Rev. and Mrs. Dyke Van Putten, formerly of the China mission, have been appointed principals of the school.

Day's Thought MOST PEOPLE WANT success in life. They fancy themselves attaining prominence in the various fields of their chosen vocational endeavor.

They picture pleasant and happy homes created by themselves. In their more earnest moments, too, they think of high places in the church and community as leaders in worthwhile moral and religious movements. All of them, likewise, have their character ideals in the persons of certain men and women in the community. Young people are interested in growth. They do not want to make any mistakes.

The simplest and best ideal of Christian growth to hold before them is the experience of Jesus himself. Most young people have heard of his four fold life. They want to grow, like him, mentally in wisdom, physically in stature, and spiritually and socially in favor with God and man. Jesus already had attained twelve years of when he journeyed with other pilgrims to Jerusalem for the passover festival. Their imagination must be stimulated if young people are to understand the significance of this event.

In these days it is difficult for any young person to remember his first visit to a great city, and few have gone to the city for such a purpose as his. They can imagine, however, with help, the thrill which stirred the boy Jesus. He had heard of the city with His earliest memories. He had planned for years to visit it. Now the journ- ney would be made at the most auspicious time-the week of the great passover.

One may think of the nervous days of preparation and the sleepless nights of anticipation. Then one may follow the little group down the Jordan valley to Jericho, and on up the road to the first breathtaking view of their goal- Jerusalem. AJbout the temple were little class rooms where the greatest teachers of the land met their students and explained the law and the prophets. Jesus had never had anyone better than the local raibbi of Nazareth to answer His questions. What an opportunity He had now.

Michigan in Washington by Joe Dear and Maurice Boehl MORE THAN 200 members of the House and Senate already have signed up for junkets, a check with Congressional committees reveals. But the total may rise higher as the junketing season gets in high. Many committee employes said travelling plans of their Congressional bosses are not yet complete. But data turned up so far indicates roaming a a will trek through the United States, Alaska, Central and South America, and those portions of Europe and Asia not behind the Iron Curtain. Here is a rundown of the junkets officially scheduled so far: The Senate Agriculture Committee plans to investigate the feed and wheat storage situation in Galveston, Texas and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

After that comes a trip to the National Forests of the West. Senate Appropriations says its junket plans are tentative only. But Senator J. Allen Ellender (D-La.) has already departed on a 16-nation tour for Appropriations to survey American embassies and Point Four projects. Most of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee will travel through South America for six weeks to examine the relationship between international trade and loans of the Export-Import Bank.

Another group of Senators, from the Foreign Relations Committee, also will junket South of the Border. They'll investigate the overseas information program. Other members of this committee may visit Europe and Asia. There's nothing definite about the plans of the Government Operations Committee, of which Senator McCarthy (R-Wisc.) is chairman. But according to reports here, McCarthy may send out a one man subcommittee--probably himself to conduct hearings.

During most of September six members of the Interior Commit- tee will be in Alaska, weighing the statehood problem. Slated for this trip are Senators Hugh Butler (R- Frank Barrett James Murray Clinton Anderson Earle Clements and Henry Jackson An Interior subcommittee has scheduled hearings in the West on minerals. Senators Eugene Millikin (R-Colo.) and George Malone (R-Nev.) will run this show. A subcommittee of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee will tour Europe investigating the shipbuilding industry there. Members of the Public Works Committee are planning to travel through the Pacific Northwest on their way to Alaska.

And several members of the Small Business Committee may go to Europe. Over on the other side of the Capitol many junketing plans are still under wraps. But it is definite that at least 10 members of the Armed Services Committee will go to Europe for six weeks. Another Armed Services subcommittee is planning a junket to the Far East. But the Committee staff says it doesn't know the names of the members who will make these trips.

The full House Interior Committee, 30 strong, plans a week's visit to Colorado as a guest of the Corn- mission on Irrigation A subcommittee of Interior plans to investigate Indians. The House Foreign Affairs Committee says members will travel to Europe and South America. But few names are available now. And it's reported one subcommittee of the Government Operations Committee in the House will travel to Europe. The House Public Works Committee will investigate harbors in New York, Boston, Niagara, Portland, Portsmouth, Portland, and Detroit.

The committee staff says there may be legislation affecting these harbors next year. The Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, composed of Senators and Congressmen, will visit the Belgian Congo in Africa to check the uranium situation. There are no estimates from either the House or Senate on how much this year's junketing will cost. But with so many lawmakers on the move, the price tag certainly will be high.

To the Editor: I would like to call the attention of the people of Holland to a symbol in the heart of our city which has a wonderful spiritual meaning. I refer to the weathervane on the Ninth Street Christian Reformed Church.

In Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, he said, "The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or wither it goes, so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8.) May not this historic weathervane be for us a symbol of the spirit-yielded Christian? Far above the street below, it is not affected by the little cross-currents caused by traffic and barriers. It yields itself to the prevailing winds of God! So may we yield our lives to the influence of the Holy Spirit so that we will not be turned and jerked about in every direction by the negative and destructive gusts of wind on the lower levels. John O. Hagans 69 West 10th St. You 're Telling Me RUSSIA is on a world butter buying spree.

One way or another, Communism ia goinz to spread. Stalin said the proletariat must have bread. Malenkov is going him one butter. Presumably the Communists won't be using any butter for breakfast. Over there they drink their toast.

It's about time the Kremlin paid some attention to the people's creature comforts. Instead of just searing some of them half to death with promotion. Vis-hinsky's survival of the purge may be due to his not smiling while at home. He's got those bourgois gold teeth, probably because of a decadent development. With other Red officials, the situation is nothing short of grave.

The communists at the top can't call their souls their own. At the bottom, they're lucky if they've got shoes at all.

Gov. George N. Craig ordered three carloads of state troopers to the exchange at Clinton, Monday and ordered them to open the closed building and keep it open. About 10 officers were left at the exchange to stand guard after service was restored, and a company official said he understood some troopers would stay there indefinitely. Indiana Bell had closed the exchange and withdrawn its workers after 24 hours of sporadic violence.

The CIO Communications Workers of America staged a state-wide strike against the company in a fight for higher wages, and the dispute has grown in bitterness as non-strikers continued to man switchboards.
