12 VOLUME 96, NUMBER 140 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1950 Lansing's Opportunity It is frequently claimed that the United States, which has assumed the leadership in the defense of freedom, is not doing as much as it could to spread freedom's message throughout the world and to counter the voice of Red totalitarianism. Although the government has attempted to penetrate -the Iron Curtain with our official- "Voice of America" program at a cost of millions of dollars, even that effort is held to be inadequate. In an attempt to strengthen the voice of freedom by aug- msnting the work of the "Voice of America," there has been launched the Crusade of Freedom. The crusade is the idea of the National Committee for a Free Europe of which Gen. Lucius D.

Clay is chairman. The crusade has as one of its purposes the support of privately-operated radio stations to make more effective our efforts to pierce the Iron Curtain of totalitarian tyranny with the message of America and the cause of freedom and to make our voice heard more widely throughout the world. No thoughtful person who loves liberty and who believes that others are entitled to enjoy its blessings will fail to discern the importance of making the most effective efforts to counter the lying voice of tyranny and aggression with the truth. Freedom's story will stand the test wherever it is heard and the larger the audience the less difficult should be the task of preserving liberty by other methods more costly in both blood and dollars. I Another of the objectives of the Crusade for Freedom is to give the American people an opportunity to place themselves specifically on record by signing a Declaration of Freedom which states: "I believe in the sacredness and dignity of the individual.

I believe that all men derive the right to freedom equally from God. I pledge to resist aggression and tyranny wherever they appear on earth. "I am proud to enlist in the Crusade for Freedom. I am proud to help make the Freedom Bell possible, to be a signer of this Declaration of Freedom, to have my name included as a permanent part of the Freedom Shrine in Berlin, and to join with the millions of men and women throughout the world who hold the cause of freedom sacred." The foregoing pledge is a clear statement of principles. Those who love liberty have no need to resort to the trickery employed in the Communist-sponsored Stockholm "peace movement" to -which the Crusade for Freedom will be an effective reply.

Big 3 Faces German Arms Issue in Meet By DeWITT MACKENZIE (AP Foreign Affairs Analyst) The most important problem (and certainly one of the knottiest) before the Big Three foreign ministers (Great Britain, France and America) in then-current New York meeting has had to do with what part western Germany shall be allotted in the defense of western Europe. It has been a matter of concernthough not of surprise to find both British Foreign Secy. Bevin and French Foreign Minister Schuman differing with Secy, of State Acheson on this vital is-'sue.

America has taken the position that a defense program must include German manpower and resources if it is to be effective. The two European Allies, having faced the first fierce rush of German armed might in two world wars, haven't been prepared to go the whole way with this idea. COMPROMISE SEEN However, the indications at this writing are that the conference is likely to achieve a compromise that will bring Germany into the picture on the basis of at least limited partnership. Despite British and French fears, there has been no argument among the Big Three about the need of German aid in the defense program. It is agreed that there can be no successful defense of western Europe without German participation.

The ques- tion has been the extent of the aid at this juncture. Britain and France have hesitated to accept the idea of immediate rearmament of Germany as part of the defense program, although they were understood to favor the strengthening of the German police force so that it could handle internal disorders. However, they now have agreed to participate in a full discussion by all of the Atlantic pact foreign ministers of using German troops in the defense projected under the North Atlantic treaty. DECISION LOOMS In this connection Pres. Truman's decision to help strengthen western Europe against possible aggression is to be made effective as soon as possible.

Gen. Mark W. Clark, chief of the U. S. army ground forces, says troops to strengthen the U.

S. garrison in 1 Europe will begin to arrive in Germany before spring. So Germany, quite logically, is to be made an integral part of the defense of western Europe, despite her transgressions. Today's Birthdays Milton Stover, Eisenhower, born Sept. 15, 1899, at' Abilene, Kan.

STANLEY JONES (Matt. I ret 2:2124) WORKING WITH A WOUND IN YOUR SIDE So important the power to turn the worst into the best, that we must tarry with it. For if we learn this we know how tof live.

If we dont learn it. then we fumble this busi ness of bring. It is simply impos sible, in reference to suffer-l ine. always to1 explain why. You cannot unravel the mystery of suffering and give a logical answer.

But, while you cannot explain the Why, you can learn the Ho the How of victory over it and through it and around it. There is no logical answer, but there is a life answer you can use suffering. It is much better to give a vital answer than a verbal one. Cease wonying over the Why, and get to the How! Look at this picture: Jesus had just heard that John the Baptist, His cousin and forerunner and beloved friend, had been beheaded, and the account continues: "When Jesus heard it. he withdrew by boat to a desert place in nrivate" He wanted to be alone tl 1 Via v.iinri in TTte Vi.Af a bit "but the crowds heard of it and followed him on foot from the towns" they broke up His plans.

"So when he disembarked, he saw a large crowd, and out of pity for them he healed their sick folk." (Matthew 14:1315, Mof-fatt). And then He fed the multitude. He worked for others with a wound in His own breast. Many of us have to go through life working with a wound. But that wound, instead of making Him bitter against the injustice of John's beheading, made Him more tender with others: "out of -pity for them he healed their sick" and fed their hungry.

If you have to work with a wound in your side, remember, that- wound will be healing to others your very hunger for consolation can feed others. Just before he was to speak in the chapel in India, a missionary friend received a cable that his father had died. He said nothing to us before the service, but went on and preached a tenderly beautiful message the transcript of his own beautiful soul. Only after tho service did he tell us he had received the cable. He worked with a wound and (hat wound was healing, to others.

Master of the inward wound. teach us Thy mastery. May I not wince, nor turn back, nor glance back, even, in thought, when wounded by life. Help me to go steadily on, knowing that Thy wounds are answering my wounds. It may be that my wounds shall answer someone else's wounds.

For this is a hurt world. Make my hurts healing. In Thy name. Amen. (From the book "Abundant Living." published by Abingdon-Cokesbury Press of New York and Nashville.

(Special to The State Journal) PUTTERVILLE, Sept. 15 Ambrose Putter has killed his wife's pet hen. Ambrose, who hated the old hen, aimed to eat her. But Ambrose's wife declares she will not cook the hen nor eat any part of it. She says that she couldn't bear to eat such an old friend as the black hen nor could she bear the thought of having the meat from such a pet inside her "stummick." Ambrose is stuck.

He never cooked a chicken in his life nor anything else. Ambrose he never did such a thing before got the feathers off the black hen and cleaned it as best he could. When his wife couldn't cook the hen, Ambrose took it around the neighborhood, hoping some woman would cook it for him. But Ambrose discovered that he was up against some sort of union or combination. All the women he appealed to.

declined to cook the chicken and declared he had misued his wife by killing one of her pets. Now it is up to Ambrose to either eat the old hen raw, or bury her. defending his reason for killing his wife'6 pet, leclared that the old black hen needed killing. He said she laid a half dozen eggs and then wanted to "set." Ambrose claims 6he was the settingest hen in all the world. No.

that opportunity will be prompt Today By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON. Sept. 15 () Everything is ready when congress gives the go-ahead (or the boss to take the new and higher tax out of your paycheck, starting Oct. Congress hasn't yet finally approved the bill to do that. And therefore the President hasn't been able to sign it into law.

But there's plenty of time to do that before Oct 1. And no hitch is expected. Ever since 1943 the boss, under law, has been withholding taxes from your pay. He has been using a table provided by the internal revenue bureau's tax collectors. This table shows: How much tax should be deducted from each worker's pay, depending on how much he makes and how many exemptions he has, such as a wife or a dependent child.

With this new boost going into effect, new tables were needed. As mentioned, the deductions are supposed to start Oct. 1, although congress has not yet formally approved the new tax. If the tax collectors waited until this formal. approval was given, they wouldn't have time to get the new tables set up, printed, and mailed out to employes all over the United States by Oct.

1. TOOK A CHANCE So the tax collectors had to take a chance but not much of a chance, as you'll see and act as though the tax bill already had been approved. They had 3,000,000 copies of the tables printed. These have been shipped out to the 64 district offices of the internal revenue bureau, waiting to be mailed to employers to each district. And they will be mailed as soon as the tax raise becomes law.

This is the background on -what has happened: Before the Korean shooting started the house passed a bill to cut the excise tax on such things as theater tickets, women's handbags, and so on. This was strictly a bill to cut taxes. This bill then went over to the senate for approval. But then we got into the Korean fight and had to start rerarming. To pay for this rearming, the President said taxes had to be raised: on individuals and corporations.

Since this meant more taxes, not less, were needed, the senate junked the house bill and got to work on one of its own. The senate bill left excise taxes uncut but raised the tax "on individuals and businesses. PASSED SEPT. 1 This bin passed the senate Sept. 1.

It was understood the house would approve this senate bill and that it would become law. Since this seemed clear and understood, the tax collectors went ahead and had the new tables printed, all based on the senate bill. Some members of the house lucked up their heels, not wanting to approve the senate bill unless both house and senate agreed to impose an excess profits tax on corporations right away. This was looked upon as h. last-ditch stand, not a real stumbling block, for Pres.

Truman and his Democratic congressional leaders agreed there should be an excess profits tax but that it can be passed next January. The house, though, went on record as wanting action before then. But it did not hold' up the general tax bill. Therefore including the tax collectors, sat back confident that the tax-raising bill, as passed by the senate, would become law without much real difficulty, although slow in being done. Export-Import bank granted a $150,000,000 credit to Mexico.

Although the money will be used for needed power, irrigation, highway, railroad and communications projects, the grant will free an equivalent amount of Mexican pesos for development of Pauley oil. It is not possible to cavil at the $150,000,000 credit, for it will develop produce food, minerals and other resources that will be invaluable in a possible World War UT. It has also improved relations between the two countries in this time of world and hemispheric crisis. Stroke RUT it was also a political stroke of genius. Besides "appeasing" the wealthy and influential Mr.

Pauley, it insures a royal welcome for Ex-Mayor OTJwyer when he shows up in Mexico City as our new ambassador. Note: Pres. Truman's high regard for the ubiquitous Califor-nian is measured by the fact that the White House demanded the resignation of Harold L. Ickes because the former secretary of the interior had declared that Mr. Pauley, then treasurer pf the Democratic national committee, told him it would be easier to tap fellow-oil magnates for political contributions in 1948 if Mr.

Ickes soft-pedalled on the question of federal control of California tidelands. Defeated A LTHOUGH the Marine Corps league made a fuss over Pres. Truman when he appeared before their conventon here to apologize personally for his reflection on them, there is solid, internal evidence that the men who fought at Guadalcanal have not forgiven him. Nor is this conclusion based only on their formal demand for Louis A. Johnson's dismissal.

The officer who delivered the most eloquent pro-Truman statement at closed sessions was Rep. Melvin J. Mass of Minnesota, an extremely popular figure. His associations on Capitol Hill enabled him to do a good job for this unit when, as Secy. Johnson once proposed, it be scrapped.

Mr. Maas quieted an incipient revolt against the White House, even after Mr. Truman made both written and personal apologies. He has received expressions of thanks from friends of the White House. But when he sought re-election as vice commander, which would have placed him in line for the top office in a year or so, he was defeated overwhelmingly.

(Copy's McClare Newspaper Synd.) Day by Day By CHARLES B. DK1SCOLL NEW YORK When I met Bert Parks, master of ceremonies on of the most muscular shows on air and TV, I said, "You look as I expected you to look, but much younger." He said, Tm 35, married, and have three children, two of them twins." Well, he doesn't look like a man who had been through all that. There is only one line in his face, and that might easily have resulted from a tooth extraction. Parks comes from Atlanta, served in the army air corps, could not afford much school, and has spent practically all of his civilian life around radio stations. Be and his family live in Greenwich, Conn.

We discussed Greenwich (pronounced Grennetich) briefly, and disagreed. I said the people up there are so rich that they think they're everything, and want everybody they meet to cry out in glee, but aren't you rich!" Bert couldn't quite agree to that, but he admitted that these people are pretty rich, and most of them know it. a Parks runs two quiz programs, partly on air and partly TV. and don't ask me which. One is "Break the Bank," where they actually hand out cash.

Nine thousand dollars was the bag the day I talked with Bert. Well, then you know, as soon as you call up the revenuers, how much you're going to be allowed to keep. Not very much, I assure you. But it's cash, which is nice. I told Bert I thought "Break the Bank" had the best name of any program.

My banker broke the bank, of which he was president, and took all my money, together with all the savings of 30.000 other depositors. I asked him if he could beat that Negative answer. Bert's other program is "Stop the Music!" and, believe me, he really stops it. This program pays off in bedroom suites, razors and horse blankets, but it's a lot of fun to listen to. Bert Parks has enormous stores of energy.

He shouts for an hour or an hour and a half at a time, and I should think he'd stop in the middle of it and say, "Oh, what the hecktograph! It's not that important! From now on I'll just talk." Not Bert. He shouts, and you, ought to see how the money rolls in. I suggested to Bert, rather brashly, that he would do just as well speaking grammatically as badly. Example? Well, he'd been saying, "Who are we going to talk to, out there in Woodbine, Kansas?" Why not say, "To whom are we talking in Woodbine?" No, it doesn't sound stuffy to speak correctly. Besides, many thousands of listeners look to you, Bert, for a guide to speech.

They don't know that you're Just joking when you say "Who are we talking Bert thought it over very seriously. He said, "I think youTe right. IH never do it again." So don't be surprised if you heard 13 ert Parks, chief of all the emcees, saying "To whom are we talking out in Orinda, CaL That's correct, and there's no disgrace in being correct. "Why I Know There Is a God," by Fulton Oursler (Doubleday) is a book well worth reading. I took it easily, slowly, and with a bit of re-reading here and there.

Oursler is a convicing writer, because he believes what he says. (Released by McNaught Synd. Inc.)

This is being demonstrated again, according to reports from Greece, one of the first beneficiaries of the Truman doctrine of helping other governments to maintain their integrity against aggression.

Incidents between Greeks and Americans, according to word from Athens, are growing more frequent as the 'Korean war progresses. Disgruntled Greeks hurl epithets and insults at American military personnel and civilians who were sent to Greece for the purpose of helping the citizens of that country. American bluejackets from the carrier Midway are said to have been the targets of jeers and tomatoes. Most members of the lower financial classes in Greece fail 'to see where American aid has done them any good, with the cW of living rising steadily, with the purchasing power of the drachma dwindling and with wages failing to go up. The economic co-operation administration is said to be seen by most Greeks as giving big contracts to wealthy operators.

Communist propagandists respond with claims that "capitalist America is only helping rich Greeks." There is no way of knowing how much of this reported resentment is stirred by the Communists and how much is the natural reaction of Greeks to what they regard as defects in the What's in a Name?

By HAL BOYLE TOKYO, 15 (JP) A letter to Frances: Well, Honey Fanny, as the boys in the army say "I got it made." I'm here! Darned if I ever thought coming to Tokyo would be a thrill, but right now I would almost be willing to vote Japan in as the 49th state. Returning here after more than six weeks in Korea is like stepping from a smelly, muddy ditch into a banquet room at the Waldorf. No fleas in my bed, no nasty war noises overhead, and steak instead of pork luncheon meat for dinner.

This isnt Japan. It Is really heaven. FIVE-STAR PLANE I hitch-hiked over with Don Whitehead. What should be waiting on the Korean airport as we drove up but Gen. MacArthur's own private four-engine plane the famous "Bataan." Doug wasn't aboard himself, but one of his one-star lads was.

He saw us pawing our feet bashfully in the dust and allowed as how he would take us to Tokyo if we wanted to go and didn't mind riding in a beat up old five-star plane. And figuring we might wait a long time until a six-star general's plane came along with a better offer, we bowed to destiny and said yes. Like all those who return from a battle area to so-called civilization we were full of self pity and felt we alone appreciated the full horror of war. But as we stepped off the plane at a field near Tokyo an air force captain climbed out of his car and kissed his wife goodbye. She drove away with her chin up and tears streaming down her cheeks, and suddenly I was humbled with the.

knowledge that there was more to war than I would ever know. For the first time I really understood the mean-. ing of a line from a Milton sonnet I studied long ago: "They also serve who only stand and wait." We felt lonesome and out of place here for the first couple of days. We hung out at the Press club and swapped shop talk about the war with other correspondents back from the front. Wasn't that silly? To waste our precious leave talking about death in Koreawith life all around us here to enjoy.

But the third day back the strangeness wore away and we began to savor again the luxury of the push button way of living. The first thing we did was go shopping. That is one of the things you miss most on a battle front you can't go out and spend money. So we satisfied our pent-up buying hunger by frittering away our yen on all sorts of useless things. 1 KOREAN HAIRCUT I agreed to go with Whitehead only on condition that he walk two paces behind me and not to speak me while anyone was looking as he had a Korean haircut that made him look like a country cousin mangled by sheep shears.

At the end of the day as we leaned back into -a cab with our arms full of bundles Don said warily, like a middle-aged lady coining home from a department store sale: American aid program. It has been shown in the past that helping he regime in power in other countries does not necessarily win friends among the people of those lands. Perhaps the good being accomplished by our efforts to help others outweighs the bad. But Americans should be under no Illusion that every dollar sent abroad brings a full return in the form of friendship for this country. By WILLIAM BRADY.

M. D. We are in the atomic age. The world is highly conscious of the destructive effort of atomic energy, but less conscious of its possibilities as an agent in the war on disease. One of the developments of atomic research was the discovery by Fermi to 1934, among others, that iodine could be so altered as to become radioactive, that is to act similarly to radium.

Long before this time, radium had been used in medicine for its action on certain disease processes. It has long been known that iodine is stored in the thyroid gland, enlargement of which con-situtes a goiter. Ordinary iodine, is commonly used to prepare patients for thyroid operations be- cause of its action on the gland. Years ago and in rare instances even today, victims of "toxic" or "exophthalmic" goiter were and are "carried along" with iodine in an effort to avoid operation. Iodine is essential to the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, which in turn regulates the rate of "burning" or oxidation of tissues with the liberation of energy.

When a deficiency of iodine-bearing food in the diet of a person is long continued, thyroid function declines, energy decreases and unwanted weight often develops. The importance of iodine in the diet and disorders arising from deficiency are explained at some length in a leaflet I have on the subject which you may have by asking for it and enclosing a stamped, self addressed return envelope. When thethyroid gland enlarges, the resultant goiter may be a simple nuisance a so-called "simple goiter." or it may be a menace, resulting in loss of weight, fatigue, rapid heart action, possible bulging of the eyes and nervous and emotional in- stability. The latter type is known as "toxic" goiter. About ten yeare ago, radioactive iodine was first used to investigate the possibilities of non-surgical treatment.

Our present knowledge of the subject is limited to the experiences gained in that span of time. The far reaching or late effects of any type of radiation are dlf- ficult t'o completely evaluate in the short space of ten years. It can be said, however, that ten years' observation in the use of radioactive iodine has not shown evidence of untoward effect. At the present time, this method of treatment is used in cases where pervious operations have failed to achieve cure, and in cases where operation would subject the victim to extreme hazard. Its use in these cases has shown it to be highly effective symptoms in many cases being controlled by a single dose.

There appears to be little or no hazard involved in its use in appropriate cases as to early or immediate developments. As matters stand, appropriate preliminary medical treatment by surgical operation is still the choice of treatment available today. The research that has been accomplished, however, seems to point to the possibility that in the future, this method of treatment may supplant surgery. If mankind can escape the de- structive effects of atomic energy in the race against time, the beneficial effects of it on individual and mass health may conceivably remove the incentive to use it ior destructive purposes. a QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Orange Feel Is chewing, orange peel injurious?

Higher taxes on individual inaomes and corporations will finance new rearmament expenditures, according to this theory. Mr.

Pauley's return to the fold can be a tremendous asset to the Democrats. With former National Defense Secy. Johnson, he was one of the party's ablest money-raisers in the 1948 campaign, and in earlier years when Mr. Truman's political stock was far below par. a Blocked HPHE politically profitable Tru-man Pauley relationship seemed to have foundered a few-weeks ago because of the petroleum promoter's resentment over major administration oil policies.

The President favored federal ownership of oil tidelands, and for months Mr. Pauley's request for an oil loan to Mexico had been blocked. To their mutual friends' astonishment, the Calif orni an recently testified on Caoitol Hill that he had warned the White House of. a Communist invasion of southern Korea as early as 1946, after his return from the far east. It looked as if Mr.

Pauley was "needling" both Mr. Truman and Secy, of State Ache-son. Credit A LTHOUGH there may have been no connection, it was only a few weeks after the dam aging Pauley statement that the Politically Potent Name In Tuesday's primary, Harry F. Kelly, former secretary of state and two-term wartime governor, won the Republican gubernatorial nomination with a total of 197.353 votes, according to unofficial returns. In the same election, William C.

Vandenberg of Holland, who has served three terms in the state senate, received 285,607 votes to win the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. While Mr. Vandenberg had the advantage of prominence he had obtained as a member of the legislature, the fact that he ran so far ahead of the former governor, who had been regarded as the party's best vote-getter, indicates strongly that however Jt may be on other occasions there is a lot in a name on election day. The popularity of Arthur H. Vandenberg, veteran senior U.

S. senator from Michigan, who is no relation to the state senator, unquestionably was a factor in the latter's impressive showing, although there is no way of determining exactly how much of a factor. In any event, there is likely to be speculation as to whether the state senator now wishes he had run for governor instead of the second highest office in the state government. R. Truman's Secret Pres.

Truman, who surprised many Americans by winning election in 1948. has disclosed' one formula for getting elected: Shake hands with as many people as possible. A Democratic candidate for congress who sought Mr. Truman's advice said he was told to shake hands with 25,000 people between now and Nov. 7.

The candidate added that part of the presidential formula was a secret. Handshaking, as a demonstration of friendliness, is an old device of politicians and there is no doubt that it helps. But it would be more interesting to leam the part of the formula for political success that Mr. Truman kept to himself.
