MOLINE DISPATCH, MARCH 27, 1947. "The Mountain Labored!" CHILD A' AXGRY man stirelh up strife, STUDY A and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. 1'rov, By GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D. IT Jk if jSpr- less in each case, start making speeches.

Each seeks to prove that he is the logical candidate for his particufar party. In the course of the campaign things become hot and the Republicans start calling each other names, and the Democrats begin lambasting each other. Finally the people are permitted to go to the polls in a primary election and decide which of the people who have been calling each other horse thieves, grafters, tools of the vested Interests, etc. shall be the candidates of their respective parties. After the primary the fragments of the two parties reunite; the disappointed candidates in each party get behind their candidate, the boys who didn't get a nomination admit tacitly that they called the winner uncomplimentary names.

'But," they will tell you, "even though I did prove that our candidate steals green apples, I shall support him in preference to that watermelon thief in the other party." Thus, except in the throes of a convention, the delegate system of picking a candidate is more dignified, and he would be a rash man who believed a change would improve things. A change would be a change, but it would not necessarily be an improvement. Uncle Sam Yells at Sweden. The government of Sweden has received from the government of the United States a note protesting that Sweden Is being unfair to American trade, and partial to Communist trade. Whether the Swedish government will do anything to make Uncle Sam feel better Is problematical.

Under the circumstances, probably not. If you will get out a map of northern Europe, you will note that only Finland separates Sweden from Russia. The Finns have been defeated twice by Russia and are not in position to stand on their rights as a neutral nation if the Reds should happen to maneuver their armies toward Stockholm. The British are having troubles on the home front, and couldn't be expected to do anything effective in case the Russians should start marching. So you can see where Sweden stands.

It was a case of either favoring Russian trade as against American Imports, or risking the Invasion of a large number of trouble-making Reds.

Recently Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach said the Communist party ought to be outlawed. Many newspapers. Including the Dispatch, commented on that statement, saying that a political idea can't be outlawed. It can be driven underground but not destroyed by legislation. The open and avowed objective of Communists is the overthrow of the United States government and 'the substitution of a Communist dictatorship.

The administration of which Mr. Schwellenbach is a member has coddled and encouraged Communists. You can't swear that any certain man on the federal payroll is a Communist. But, as one witness at Washington stated, when you tee a fowl that walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you know it Is a duck even If it doesn't admit it. You can't outlaw Communism, but you can outlaw treason and the people can also send back to private life, in the next election, the politicians who pretend they don't know a duck when they tee it.

By DE WITT MACKENZIE, Associated Press World Samuel B. PETTENGILL "The Gentleman From Indiana" THE PRODIGAL SON COMES HOME. 'As the prodigal sons of the New Deal heave home after wantoning and traveling with fellow travellers and pinkos and reds for lo these many years, a hearty welcome awaits them on the part of those of us who warned them against their flirtations. To have two members of the President's cabinet Schwellenbach of Labor, and Clark of Justice now advocating the outlawing of the' Communist party is glad tidings indeed. To measure the sea-change that has- come over official Washington, one should read an excellent booklet put out by the U.S.

Chamber of Commerce, Washington, D.C. It is called, Communists Within the Government, The Facts and A Pro- gram. (Price 50c.) That tells the sad story and explains why genuine Americans, opposed to communism, were smeared for years as "fascists" and "tories" by the left-wing assassins of character as long as the latter basked in the favor of officialdom. Another good booklet, put out by the same organization, is Communists Within the Labor Movement. The position taken by President Truman evidences the most complete break so far between the old Democratic party and the New Deal.

The next step, if he is wholly sincere, will be to oppose Socialism as well as Communism. It makes little sense to go through the motions of fighting Communism with Socialism. The two finally emerge in 'the same thing the tyranny of the State over the individual. The Socialists are more amiable and less bloody in the beginning. They would achieve public ownership of property by "democratic processes," i.e., free elections and without confiscation.

The Communists sneer at the Socialists as panty-walsts. They confiscate property by force and without giving government bonds for it. One calls for "revolution by consent;" the other, for "revolution by violence." The methods are different; the result is the same the ending of private property, and everybody working for the politicians. And when achieved, by whatever method, the tyranny is complete. Socialism is the ante-chamber room to what we call communism.

Tills is becoming very plain in England. When the Attlee government came into power two years ago. Labor Leader Morrison announced a "plan" to control production and fix prices on farm products. This, of course, makes the farmer a rf of the government. "Under the plan, farmers refusing to plant crops as ordered by the Labor government would be evicted from their land." Last January a bill was introduced in Parliament, with government backing.

The scheme nationalizes all profits from the development of any land, urban or rural. As the British official, Lewis Silkln, says, "What is left to the land owner is merely the right to continue to use his land for its existing purposes." The owners can't build on their land unless the government consents, and only for the purposes the government directs. If the owner refuses, he can be kicked off the land without compensation. Such is "Democratic Socialism" when the shoe begins to pinch. Are we to welcome this kind of social- ism as our noble ally in a war on Communism? SAMUEL B.

PETTENGILL. THE WORRY CLINIC By Dr. George W. Crane Returned war veterans often ask me what Job they should prepare for. Vocational guidance ran offer much valuable advice on this perplexing problem.

Write for the "Vocational Guidance Chart," mentioned below. CASE M-276: Jim 20, has Just from overseas. "I don't know what to do now, though," he protested. "I am not in love and wouldn't want to get married even if I were, for how could I support a wife? "I could go to college -but I don't know what to take up as a life work. Uncle Sam would lend me money to start up in business, but what kind of business, should I attempt? "Dr.

Crane, can't you give me some advice and tell me the one thing I am best fitted for in life?" Scientific Psychology. First, I should like to dispel some of the fallacious notions, however, which are very widespread regarding vocational guidance. Too mnay people think a psychologist is a crystal gazer or magician of some sort who will mysteriously feel bumps on their skull or measure the thickness of their lips, 8nd then tell them the "one and only" Job they are fitted for. There is no magic in vocational guidance. Nor do the bumps on your skull or the measurement of facial part offer any aid.

although millions of Americans still are enslaved by such ignorant notions. Vocational guidance is not numerology nor astrology. It has nothing to do with the signs of the zodiac, nor the date of your birth. These widely advertised methods of character analysis are unscientific and unsound. They are Just as useless to the psychologist as to the physician.

If you must spend your good money having your fortune told, charge it off to entertainment or amusement, but don't govern your lives by these unsound pronouncements. Vocational guidance Is the field of psychology that assays your present talents and potentialities. These involve such items as your intelligence, your health, your special aptitudes, as music, drawing, mechanics, etc. It likewise Includes your family background and training, Including morality and honesty: your social attitudes, such as introversion vs. extroversion: your perseverance and Industriousness; your wealth and past education; your personality and vocational preferences these are some of the Items which a psychologist considers in helping you select your life work.

Which Job? There is rarely a "one and only job for which you arc best fitted. Usually you are adapted for several positions, and the final decision is a matter of your personal choice and convenience. Furthermore, personality la not fixed and unchangeable. Even if you were best adapted for housework today, you might take a course in shorthand and typing and become so proficient therein that next year you would be better adapted for secretarial work. An Introvert is better adapted for work with Inanimate objects, such as machinery, chemicals, scientific research, bookkeeping accounting, art, music, etc.

An extreme introvert can make a success in such an extrovertive task as salesmanship, but he must pay a greater price to do so and the odds are against him. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long 3-cent stamped, addressed envelope and a dime tor cover typing or printing cost when you send for one of his psychological charts.)

Inc.) CORRECTING THE CHILD'S GRAMMAR REQUIRES TACT i jND JUDGMENT Children learn to use ungram-matlcal speech from other children, sometimes from their parents. When we parents speak correctly we do not need to worry much about the grammar of our children, provided we and they are companionable and have many good times together. Wishing to seem as grown up as they really are, our children desire, by and by to speak as accurately as they can. Don't interrupt your child to correct his grammar. Even after he has finished speaking your correction should not be in the nature of a rebuke nor should It indicate you are vexed one bit at his error.

Calmly, kindly say in right form what he had said in wrong form. If he does not choose to repeat the correct form after you, do not insist. Fewer Suggestions. Thereafter it may be better for you to offer correct grammatical suggestions less often. If he shows the slightest annoyance at your most careful suggestions you should know that further like suggestions would not only be useless but harmful.

The adolescent may be very resistant to correction, especially in the presence of his pals or other "adults. You would be, too, in his place. Seek always the most favorable moment when your child will welcome your help and be glad to cooperate, else you do more harm than good to his English and to his relationship with you. Some parents write me for simple exercises to teach, themselves and their children correct grammar. They are not so much concerned about a course in formal grammar as in some practice exercises in using some of the common everyday expressions which often are made Incorrectly.

The parent who cares about her own speech may feel very much embarrassed at knowing she often makes wrong statements: "Set down" for "sit down." "I done It myself" for "I did it myself." "Us women had a good time" for "We women had a good time," Just to name a few. Should the husband correct such statements made by his wife, or vice versa, the embarrassment might be ignominious, especially if in the presence of their children or another adult. Helping a spouse improve his or her own speech can strain marital relations seriously unless it is done very skillfully and only when such help is welcomed or Invited. Naturally Resistant. Any adult or adolescent is, naturally, very resistant to having any member of his family correct his expression in the presence of other persons.

Such correction uninvited suggests that the corrector feels superior and wishes to induce feeling of inferiority in the person corrected. I have prepared a bulletin on 65 of the most common grammatical mistakes, giving the correct statement beside each incorrect one. The list also includes the "verb demons," sit, set; lie, lay; leave, let. This bulletin may be had In a self-addressed stamped envelope. Any child or -adult wishing to avoid these common grammatical mistakes can easily learn to do so by reading over and over from time to time the correct statements for each.

Even some college graduates do not use correctly some of the "verb demons," Also an occasional person with considerable education gets confused using the pronouns. These exercises might help him as well as other adults and children who have had limited formal education. DIET and HEALTH By Dr. Herman N. Bundesen Prominent Chicago Physician A CONVAIESCENT SERUM THAT LESSENS SEVERITY OF MEASLES.

Measles must not be looked upon as just a simple and harmless disease of childhood. In your infants 01 sickly children it often turns out to be a very serious and even disastrous business. Fortunately today, if such children are by some mischance exposed to measles, we can still protect them against its worst effects. It. is very important that this be, done.

Heretofore, a number of preparations have been used for this purpose. Among them are convalescent serum which is blood scrum taken from a patient who is Just recovering from measles, blood serum taken from a number of adults, and extracts made from the after- birth called placental immune globulin. Effective Protection. According to Drs. Lewis K.

Sweet and Thorval L. Hickman of Washington, D.C, what is known as gamma globulin is highly effective in protecting children against measles when it is injected shortly after the child is exposed to the disease. Gamma globulin is obtained from a part of the protein substances in the blood, known as serum albumin and serum globulin. Gamma globulin was given to 267 children who had not had measles and who were exposed to it; 241 of them were observed long enough to know the results obtained. Of these, 50 developed mild measles while only 7 developed measles of-average severity.

In only one instance was there any complication of measles and this was a mild infection of the middle ear. None of the children had any reactions to the injections of gamma globulin. When children are given these injections the object in most instances is not to protect the child completely, so that he does not get the measles but, rather, to protect him to the degree that he gets only a mild attack. Then as a rule, he will be permanently protected against this disorder. Age and Size.

The amount of the preparation given depends on the child's age and size, and for how long a period hie was exposed to the infection. Then, too, the period of time which elapses between the time he was exposed and the period when the globulin is given will determine to a great degree whether the child Is completely protected or Just develops a mild case of measles. Parents should remember that measles can be a serious condition and usually is to the very young child and if the child is exposed, they should promptly see to it that he is given one of the protecting substances which modern medical science has developed for this Tax Cut Seems Assured. Republicans in the house of representatives, despite the coolness of the President and a ir.gular lack of enthusiasm In the renate, go right ahead with their talk of a reduction in Income taxes. According to the latest plan, the Ltile fellows are to have a 30 percent reduction, the middle Incomes are to have 20 percent off, and the really large Incomes will have a nhave of about 10 percent or maybe less.

Lest people count their tax money before It is taved, it Is well to call attention to the fact' that there are two more rivers to cross. The senate is not so hot about heavy tax reductions, considering our global responsibilities, etc. There are more Democrats in the senate than In the house in proportion to Republicans, and unless quite a few of them desert the party on this issue there never could be enough senators in favor of a tax cut to over-ride a Presidential veto. Perhaps even the house couldn't do that. And a Presidential veto seems entirely possible.

How in the world are the Democrats ever going to spend enough public money to get themselves re-elected in 1948 if the income tax cut goes through? Besides that, there are those global responsibilities. If the senate approves what the house has in mind, then a cut of the proportions described wi3 be embodied in a tax bill and sent to the President. If the President vetoes it, both senate and house would have to re-approve the bill by two-thirds majorities, which seems highly improbable. It is quite possible, as things appear, that the senate will propose a smaller tax cut than the one likely to be approved by the house. Then there ill be a compromise between the senate and house.

Mr. Truman would be less likely to veto a mailer tax cut than the one proposed now by the house. Furthermore, if a tax cut is put into effect, it Is not likely to be retroactive to the first of the year, but would be likely to show up in the with SPRING GUERRILLA ACTIVITIES Washington, March 27. The avoided and practically unmentioned background of the Greek-Turk aid measures is simply this: A Russo-Bulgar-Yugoslav plan Is supposed to start now to sever Macedonia from Greece, and create there a separate new Balkan state under Communist control. A 'spring merger of offensives to this end is supposed (common report among underground agencies including the British) to have been planned at a meeting of Zhukov, Tolbukin and Tito last September.

Simultaneously a revolt within Turkey, sponsored by Kurds encouraged by Moscow, Is expected to get under way through guerrilla activities of smail bands. The Turkish part of the plan is not well organized. The Turks spend 60 percent of their budget for arms, are convinced the revolt will lead to World war 3 and are willing to fight. The Greek guerrilla forces, however, are supposed to number about 5,000 infantry, mostly Communist, supposed to enjoy excellent connivance from Bulgaria, Albania and Yugoslavia. The Albanians, for instance, have two divisions on the Greek border.

The anti-government movement within Greece as a whole is regarded as being supported by perhaps 15 percent of the population. To thwart the guerrilla efforts before it gets under way, the Greek army is now moving northward, and attacking the known guerrilla areas, although they are hampered by bad communications, Including destroyed railroad stock and damaged roadbeds. The average world diplomat sees more world war possibilities than exist in these potentialities, because Russia is everywhere a hidden partner, unwilling to accept open responsibility. Military men think Communist withdrawal in north China may have been recently undertaken to. clear the way for the spring Balkan 'campaign.

At any rate it was this situation from which Britain announced withdrawal of her troops from Greece (March 31) and into which Mr. Truman proposes to move with money for a local defense line. LARGE FINANCIAL PLANS The money plans have now been concluded. Mr. Truman is to give 400 million dollars in nearly any way he sees fit (loans, grants, advances) of of which 300 million dollars will go to Greece.

Of this amount, 150 million dollars will be purely military advances (rations, clothing) and 150 million dollars civilian including 50 million dollars for equipment (railroads and road reconstruction), 20 million dollars for agricultural rehabilitation and 80 million dollars for internal costs Including administration. The Turks are to get the other 100 million dollars, mostly in military material but including some work on the roads and improvement of railroads. The human relief advances are to be in addition to this and centered In 50 million dollars for Greece in a general 350 million dollar Balkan food relief bin. In addition, the Greek War Relief association in this country is raising 12 million dollars under approval of the President, Herbert Hoover, Governor Dewey and others, to give medical, child and direct relief assistance. None of these relief ventures, of course, is really new.

The UNRRA figures show that up to last January 1 we gave Greece 164 million dollars in food, 35 million dollars clothing, textiles and footwear, 10 million dollars medical, 50 million dollars agriculture, 41 million dollars for industry, and some miscellaneous for a grand total of 358 million dollars. Thus Greece is to cost 362 million dollars more atop the 358 million dollars already given (largely by the United States) for a visible total of 720 million dollars so far. The need is great, but this is not bad for a nation with an estimated 1939 population of 7 million. It represents more than $100 per man, woman and' child so far (probably more because the population is probably not today as large as 1939). DANGER IN DIPLOMATIC CONSIDERATIONS The.

very nature of these steps shows them unlikely to involve us in war. As the Russian participation is secret the Reds are hardly likely to come out of their explosive shells. Indeed they can hardly openly oppose our efforts to sustain governments against guerrilla warfare no matter what they may do in secret. Furthermore, if Greece and Turkey really succeed in thwarting spring guerrilla operations they will have made war just that much more unlikely for this year. The graver possibilities lie in our assumption of world leadership at this point, to continue presumably from now on.

Britain is gone from the scene of major world influence. She is giving away half her empire, intending to keep presumably only Canada, Australia and South Africa. Having lost her help, presumably we are embarked on a policy of furnishing materials to protect governments outside the Soviet orbit. She protects hers directly by installing sympathetic governments and trying to get the defense cabinet posts (even France). We move indirectly by furnishing our substance.

The British empire is distlntegrating fast. The Russian empire has arisen, expanding and aggressive. We shy away from an empire of our own which might sustain itself in resistance to Communism, but give our money to meet what, we pretend to be a temporary situation. In these larger diplomatic considerations lies the danger. ANOTHER MAJOR WAR ISN'T LIKELY NOW.

If your correspondent had a dollar for every time he has been asked whether a major war seems likely to grow out of the Greco-Turkish crisis, he would be able to retire. However, while these questions have kept pouring in I've been greatly impressed by the absence of any expressions of "fear" in connection with such inquiries. My observation is that the general public is not "afraid" in the accepted sense of. the term. Still, that doesn't alter the fact that peace-loving folk have a very natural anxiety over any possibility of another world conflict.

General Eisenhower assures us that no country at present "would deliberately provoke a He warned, though, that there always exists the possibility of an Incident being precipitated by some "lmnm ture nation." While the general didn't pin this specifically to the. Balkan imbroglio, we are safe in assuming that it covers this situation. Washington has stated categorically that America's proposed aid to Greece and Turkey won't include any troops. A lot of people, however, are wondering whether Soviet Russia might intervene with soldiers to help the Greek Communists overthrow the Athens government and seize control of the country. There's no indication thus far that any such move by Moscow is at all likely.

On the contrary that's about the last thing one would expect Soviet union to attempt, because it would be an open-and-shut invitation for world war and the signs are that Russia definitely doesn't want war. If that were the whole story we could sit back and take it easy. But there's this fly in the ointment: Russia doesn't have to make a direct move in order to get military aid in the form of soldiers to the Greek Reds. Moscow's satellites along the Greek frontier Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria can take care of that and, of course, are accused of so doing not only by Athens but by the United States and Britain. Communistic Neighbors.

Greece says that her civil war is being engineered and supported by her communistic neighbors. Former President Hoover declared a couple of days ago that a large part of the chaos in Greece could be lifted by one man if he were willing, and added: "That man is Marshal Joseph Stalin. It is within his power to stop the aggressive war in the form of guerrilla raids from Yugoslavian, Bulgarian and Albanian territory that would bring peace to Greece. Then American aid could be devoted to restoring productivity of the Greek people instead of our wasting our generosity on military equipment." Certainly Moscow can do anything it wishes with the Red states of the Balkans, for it has them in a sack, although the fiction is maintained that they are sovereign countries. It's obvious that if the Soviet Union wanted to issue orders to them and then sit back and disclaim responsibility, it could do so.

Or, as Mr. Hoover points out, Moscow could restrain them if it wished. As things now stand it seems likely that Russia will pursue the middle course of letting her dogs of war run off the leash sufficiently to keep on harrying the Greeks, short of producing an open Balkan war. The situation on the Balkan peninsula naturally is in a highly explosive state. For that reason the big three Russia on the one hand and the American-British pair on the other will do everything to avofd becoming directly involved.
