Much of his say about the cheating scandal the comment has been phrased in One of Founders of Man Says Churchill Opposed It in language weighted with pious THE hope of peace in Korea is compelling the American people to make the disagreeable choice betweer guns and butter.

"But Washington is quick to reflect the disposition of the nation public's attitude began switching moment Malik spoke of peace "It's reasonable to assume that United States people will not be denied goods in order to make tanks for storage. "Or for shipment to Western Europe." Playing for Keeps. It would seem that the aim of a patriotic magazine should be to convince an impatient public that the way to prevent more "shooting" is to produce tanks and keep them ready for use.

and to ship as many arms to Western Europe as possible. The editors of Nation's Business may argue that they are not encouraging the American people to play the self-indulgent fool but merely reporting that they frequently have, and therefore probably will, this time. Which leads back to. my original thesis that any peace in Korea is going to test not only our wisdom but our essential manliness. This time whether Nation's Business admits it or not we are playing international poker for keeps and the stakes are all we've got.

The New York Herald Tribune has described the situation in a sentence: "The primary task of the United States at this time is to become strong and to strengthen its allies; unless this is done, there can be no security, no opportunity for peaceful economic development no scope for freedom." Senator Connally and Nation's Business, please note. It is evident that as a people we cannot have both "guns" in amounts ana an vaa expect. Our choice here is going to 1 .1 i St lie uie auu of our maturity. For the choice between "guns" and "butter" is proDaDiya choice between 1 peace ana war. Mowrer It is probable that by going on to a semi-war footing and staving there for a few years, we shall avoid World War in.

It is all but that by neglecting or curtailing our defense expenditures in favor of self-indulgence, we shall bring on World War IIL Flunking the Test. As a people, we are now being tested in our ability to withstand temptation in view of something higher. It begins to look as if we are flunking the test United States Senators and Representatives, those ready barometers of popular feeling, are complaining about the size of the proposed military aid appropriation for our allies. Even Senator Tom Connally of Texas, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who knows better, has started snarling about our "inability to support the whole free world and remain solvent" Mr. Connally's peeve centered on an item of just under one billion dollars for military aid to Asia.

It is possible even likely that with this military aid, Asia can be saved and that without it Asia will be lost. It almost begins to look as though Mr. Connally would prefer losing Asia to losing his seat in the Senate. Hog on the ProwL Certain it is that the number one enemy of the American people, the Great American Hog, is again on the prowl. It is only natural that some people should prefer personal pleasure to public good.

It is somewhat surprising to find what looks like public encouragement of that preference in a high-class magazine. Here's what Nation's Business offers (in its Management's Washington Letter) for August: "Watch for gradual change in civilian, defense production patterns.

Louis children who took a course in puppetry which ends today at People's Art Center, a Community Chest agency at 3657 Grandel square, have had eight weeks instruction from a noted British authority on the subject. Their teacher is Mrs. Isobel Nora Barker of Buckinghamshire, England, a member of the Puppetry Guild in London. Here visiting her brother, Alan MacEwan, 7522 Liberty avenue, she volunteered her services for the summer course. Under Mrs.

Barker's enthusi-astice tutelage, a dozen children of both races, ranging in age from 11 to 16, have constructed costumed stage dolls and practiced manipulating the puppets with strings. Mrs. L. Simington Curtis, executive director at the Art Center, said the class had been a great success. Marionettes are "a whole cul ture in Mrs.

Barker remarked. A graduate of the Edinburgh (Scotland) College of Art, she will return to England in November. She is a lecturer on puppetry for the National Fed eration of the Women's Institute, a British organization for women in rural areas, and has aranged an exhibit that will be shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London next spring.

Harlan Johan-naber of Union, Mo. Both Wars, Roosevelt in Second. NEW YORK, Aug. 9 (AP) Winston Churchill opposed Belgian relief in the first World War and both Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt blocked it in the second World War, Herbert Hoover says.

As head of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, Hoover sought the co-operation of the British government in 1915. He says he got it only after the Cabinet overruled ChurchilL then first Lord of the Admiralty, and Lord Kitchener, then Minister of War. Kitchener and "especially" Churchill, Hoover says, were "violently opposed." Writing his memoirs in Collier's Magazine, Hoover adds: 'Twenty-five years later, when Belgium was again ground between a savage German occupa tion and an allied blockade, the Belgian government was to ask me to organize another relief. But Winston Churchill, this time together with President Franklin D. Roosevelt refused us." America's only living ex-President recalls that as Belgian relief administrator in the first World War he also encountered the opposition of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who later was to lead the fight against the League of Nations.

Hoover says he rallied the New York publishers and editors behind the Belgian program. Former President Theodore Roosevelt assured him he need not fear a public attack from Lodge. "I will hold his hand," Roosevelt promised. As Belgian relief administrator, Hoover negotiated with the Ger mans in 15 as well as the British. He found the Germans had only a military reaction.

"The military mind," he says, "is without sentiment but at least it has common sense and usually says what it means. It took less time and argument to put points over (with the Germans) and get decisions than the British. "The mental operations of the whole group contrasted sharply with the groping and ofttimes timid and uncertain attitudes of the Allied official mind. There was less red ape, more direct and effective action. "On the other hand, there was something indescribably automatic and inhuman about the German actions and thinking.

Under terms of that agreement, Mrs Sinatra gets one-third of his in come.

Asked if he would marry Miss Gardner with whom he has been romancing in the United States, Spain and Mexico Sinatra grinned and said: "I would assume so." He said he would not know until he talks with his lawyers when the divorce will be. Under Nevada law he must remain in the state six weeks until a suit may be filed. Asked why Mrs. Sinatra had a change of heart and agreed to give him a divorce, he replied: "I can't answer that because I don't know." URGENT NEED FOR HOSPITAL WORKERS IN CITY, COUNTY There is an urgent need in St. Louis and St Louis county for hospital workers of all kinds, Paul P.

LUCE WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (AP) Clare Boothe Luce has been chosen for the Cardinal Newman award. The award is given by the Newman Club Federation, composed of 520 clubs for Catholic students in secular colleges and universities. Mrs. Luce was selected "because of her outstanding contribution in the field of government in church affairs, and in particular for her real interest as exemplified over the years in the work of the Newman Club Federation." Mrs.

TOLEDO. 0 Aug. 9 (AP) Mrs. Eva Epstein Shaw, attorney who gained nation-wide attention for her code of standards and procedures drafted to improve court practice, died last night She was 59 years old. During her 30 years of law practice in To ledo, she became known for her efforts to effect reconciliations between husbands and wives, self-righteousness, thereby con in our society that have worked the system is, take a Spanish class.

The cadets write from memory on the blackboard the day's exercise. Then as the instructor reads out the text, they make the corrections "in red chalk so that the number of mistakes can readily be seen in contrast to the white chalk in which exer-I cises were written. I With 20 or more cadets at the blackboard, to cheat by using white chalk to make the correc-i tions is obviously easy. Persistent i cheating was finally exposed in that kind of practice some years ago. Red Chalk and White.

The rigidity of the system puts too great a strain on the individual when other standards are being relaxed. It is a needless temptation to ask the same questions in a quiz given on successive days. Contrary to previous practice, the cadets are now allowed a small amount of pocket money. Formerly they lived in what amounted to a moneyless system. A few dollars a month, small as it may seem, provides a temptation to play a little poker and shoot craps, both of these recre ations being forbidden and subjecting the offender to demerits, with a certain number of demerits bringing expulsion from the academy.

Now that the military hacome to play such an important part. with generals increasingly relied on to frame policy and influence opinion, the adulation for them being in corresponding volume, it is unreasonable to expect young men training to be generals to live like hermits under semi-monastic rules. System Needs Revision. That Is especially true in view of the constant pressures to get into the floodlit elamor of bis- time football. If a Senate investigation is concerned solely with who cheated and who didn't and why they were not caught earlier, it will be a waste of everybody's time.

FRENCH MOVIE SLUMP LAID IN PART TO U.S. COMPETITION PARIS, Aug. 9 (UP) Hollywood competition and a lowering of French movie standards have plunged the French film industry into its most serious crisis, trade and Government sources said today.

At least 3000 persons were reported out of work in the industry, 75 per cent more than last year. Film production this year will be cut from 110 films to 70. The sources laid the decline to the invasion of the French market by American films, the use by American producers of French production facilities, a general lowering of the quality of French pictures and a sharp drop in movie attendance.

Army authorities. To wait until the cadets were DacK in their home towns before making the an nouncement was Vi a blunder. It was a blunder to put in the official announcement a mention of the football players involved. This was rprtain to Sr ii II TT i increase the sen- Childs sational publicity and also to unite a common interest in protest around a popular spectacle to which ancient loyalties are at tached. The fact Is that many cadets found both to have given and received information in violation of the honor system were not prominent in football or any other sport at the academy, The overemphasis put on foot ball, as a sort of great Roman holiday, is not so much a cause as a symptom of the disintegrating forces in the last analysis respon sible for this major infraction of the honor system, The real seems to me to go much deeper.

It gets down to the changing relationship of th- military to the civilian side of American life. Anchorites No Longer. This changed relationship Is re flected not merely in the elori fication of football heros, sought after high paying industrial jobs and as husbands for rich young women, but in a relaxation of standards at West Point. It may be argued that this could scarcely have been avoided in view of the increasing impor tance put on the role of the military man as America began to accept world responsibilities commensurate with our power and prestige. In an earlier era the West Pointer lived the life of an anchorite, almost completely shut away from the world.

This was a preparation for his later career in which he would again live pretty much outside the main stream of peacetime America. He was a museum piece largely ignored except when trouble was on the horizon. Within this specialized framework of a caste set apart, the rigid honor system seems to have worked well. Each year a few men were suspended but hardly ever more than three or four. As an illustration of how rigid TO DANCE Jo Sullivan, 19, to Star at Municipal Opera Next Week.

CATHOLICS ARE TOLD BIBLE DOESN'T BAR EASING BIRTH PAIN VATICAN CITY, Aug.

9 (AP) Catholics were assured today that the Bible does not prohibit lessening or elimination of pain in childbirth through modern medical science. A reader of the Vatican's Sun day Osservatore Romano asked whether the Lord's words to Eve after she and Adam had eaten the forbidden fruit "in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children" did not decree such a bar. A Catholic doctor's reply. printed by the newspaper, said that the text could be interpreted as meaning not only the pain of childbirth, but "all the nhvsical and moral sorrows that a mother must suffer because of her maternity." The text, he added, "does not at all forbid, for the woman, the lessening of natural pains of childbirth" just as preceding words to the man, Adam, "in the sweat ot thy brow" do not forbid him to lessen the burden of his labor through the use of animals and machines.
