GREENVILLE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1957 RECORD SECOND SECTION No Comment Needed On this final day of 1957 it scemrperfiiient to recall, out'comment, the words of Alexis de Toequcville In his "Drmocrupy in America," writ- in 1835: "There is at present two great nations in the world, which started from different points, but seem to tend toward the same end. I allude to the Russians and the Americans. "All other nations seem to have reached their natural' limits, and they have only to maintain their power; but these are still in the act of growth. All the others have stopped, or continue to advance with extreme difficulty; those alone are' proceeding with case and celerity along a path to which no limit can be perceived. "The American struggles against the obstacles that nature opposes to him; the adversaries of the, Russians are men.

The former combats the wilderness and savage life; the latter, civilization with all its arms. The conquests of the American are therefore gained by the plowshare; those of the Russian by the sword. The Anglo-American relies upon personal interest to accomplish his ends and gives free scope to the itnguided strength and common sense of the people; the Russian centers all the authority of society in a single arm. The principal interest of. the former-is freedom; of the latter, servitude.

Their starting-point is different -and their courses are not the same; yet each of them seems marked out by the will of Heaven to sway the destinies of half the globe."

When they are not showing their pent-up emotions, ithey are denouncing somebody over an appraisals, of America's strength about which they know nothing except by hearsay. The Gaither report and others are data compiled 'by objective people. They are valuable aids in forming judgments on whatever new policies and actions America must take. But they are not "claps of doom" While emphasis is necessary to achieve results, the pessimism often strengthens emphasis, it is well to remember that America is strong, that it-is a matter of harnessing its potential to 'achieve any desired result and that few are ever helped by the counsels of despair.

Well, I want to hear her scream, so here goes: Back in January, when President Eisenhower was re-inaugurated, there was high wassail at the inaugural balls, but no liquor in sight. Champagne and other potables were served in the innocent-looking punch glasses used at parties.

The explanation: Ike didn't want photos to show the booze flowing, as at his first induction. It's a good thing they didn't snap closeups of some of the revelers.

GUEST The Poet of the PeopU THE YEAR The old year brought some sadness And it brought a touch of pain, But it brought a heap of gladness When' our tears were dried again. It brought us cares and duties And some disappointments, too, But it brought us charms and beauties When our time of toil was through. The old year that is slipping O'er the edge of life today, With smiles and joy came tripping Very gayly down the way. But we stumbled very often And at times we stooped to wrong But always, oiir cares to soften, Love and laughter came along. Thejold year that is starting On its journey to the past, Will bequeath us, in departing, Sacred treasures that will last.

Precious memories of blessings That upon us are bestowed, All the smiles and sweet caressings Of the friends along the road. Of the cares that oft beset us, Of the sorrow and the pain, And the things that came to fret us Very little will remain. These will vanish; and hereafter, We shall only keep in thought What of happiness and laughter And of friendliness it brought.

One of the five directors will manage the museum.

However, Dennis and his chic socialite wife, Kitty, who is doing the research on furnishings and the physical characteristics of the figures, are so fascinated with the project it occupies their every spare moment. "You'd be astonished at how interesting and absorbing this thing is," Dennis exclaims enthusiastically. "Did you know that Columbus, Washington, Lafayette, Churchill and Eisenhower all are redheads and that the left ring finger of Herbert Hoover's hand Is permanently swollen from a baseball accident while he was at Stanford university?" To get the exact coloring of John Hancock's eyes, the Denises traveled to the Boston Museum to look at Copely portrait, "We hope to constantly increase our showing to embrace all American history according to an orderly plan," Dennis said. "It's our intention, after the basic things are done, to through each state have the. people, maybe the high school students, "decide what is their state's most dramatically important incident.

One of the most captivating features of the museum is the Children's and Poets' Corner with such imaginative creations as Tom Sawyer, Ichabod Crane, Orphan Annie, Paul Bunyan and Evangeline on display.

King Saud of Saudi-Arabia came here and lavished gifts on our notables.

He gave each of the cabinet one of his shaikh costumes, which are the dernier cri for desert wear, but not so suitable for those who avoid arid places. The kingly gifts caused trouble, particularly for the deputy chief of protocol, who accepted a car for his wife, but there seems to be assurance for 1958; that our great won't be getting so much for nothing. The Saudian visit led to the disclosure that we've been mis-teach- ing our young when we instruct them that "1, 2. -3, 4 etc." are Arabic numerals. They aren't Arabic at all, and heaven knows what they are, or where we got them.

Charles E. Wilson kept declaring that he had no intention of resigning as secretary of defense. A feeling is now widespread that he could have been laboring under a misapprehension. In March, pur most straitlaced society matrons fought for seats at the labor racket hearings, so they could get first-hand views of bawdy house madams. The madams looked so respectable.

Other motorists who tried to keep up with Ike and were halted by cops, muttered loudly about favoritism. I do not insinuate it was any corollary, but shortly thereafter the administra; tion was accused of slowing down. The month of showers, which brings flowers, saw a change in the attitude of Washington correspondents toward Mr. Eisenhower. They ceased acting as if he were the Archbishop of Canterbury, and began treating him like an elected official.

Military secrecy became so absurd that when Rep. Winston Prouty, of Vermont, had a grandson born at an Army Post, the Army wouldn't dislose to the father the child's sex.
