OUT OF ABILENE the Kew York Times: IMS had' to say Iiis return from Europe are.iiaporLant, but they take on a real historic significance be- eause of the qualities of the man who says them.

This soldier, born in Texas, reared in a Kansas town that has not quite forgotten the days when the cattle and the cow boys came up in clouds of dust from the old wilderness trails, talks the salty language of the mid- western democracy and somehow Francisco to the zonal lines in Berlin. We have found a man who can speak for the millions of and, let us devoutly hope, for the 200,000,000 who live in the free countries of western Europe. To say that no other man in the United States can speak with the same authority is not to belittle any distinguished figure, from President Truman down. Dwight D. Eisenhower has come to his present position partly by.being what he is End partly by the opportunities and EMERGENCY CONTROLS The freedoms we cherish in this republic are constantly encroached upon by emergency measures.

In. order to better fight our enemies the United States has seen an increase of emergency socialistic practices and gradually these are accepted by the people. Probably there isn't any other way of getting a war job done, but the end result is that many of these socialistic ideas stay on. Today government subsidies are common, yet when they began, they were called temporary measures. Government aid from the federal treasury has mounted as each emergency has become permanent.

The more we look to Uncle Sam for paternalism, the further we are along the road to a socialistic government. Business accepts government hand-outs, so does agriculture, and industry; no one can claim "immunity to being a part of unlabeled socialism. Which brings up an ironical point regarding the switchmen's strike. out that the "sickness" strike started over a demand for the 40-hour week at 48-hour pay, and recalls the shorter week has become so fixed that its origin is almost forgotten. While nob a war emergency, it came on as a depression emergency, when there was great unemployment and the shorter week was expected to spread work among education of high position.

But the had a deeper meaning.

We need not say that Kansas is more democratic than Massachusetts or KCT? York, but we can say that some regional traditions grew up there. other wartime practices stayed with us after V-J day. Recent proposals to increase the working Veek to 44 hours as a of Increasing production to combat inflationary effects of rearmament attrpcted little attention or public support. Obviously the -emergency" 40-hour week is now a "permanent right." A longer week MUSTERED OUT Charles W.

He was the last Civil War veteran in a state that once had 100,000 Civil War veterans in its population.

The others hap ened in the world that liter- were veterans from the other states I all mav cause Old Joe to think who struck for Kansas when tliey twice. Number one is the series of five atomic explosions in the Nevada desert. The implications hardly can lost on Stalin and the Politburo.

The blasts can only mean to the Russians, as they mean to the people of the United States, that this nation has a great preponderance of A-bombs and a variety of atomic tactical weapons probably now perfected, that would go hard on a land mass army. Number two is the almost miraculous reversal of the military situation in Korea. Being demonstrated now is the fact that a small well- equipped army with great firepower can stand off if not actually exterminate a much larger force, less well equipped. It all raises the question that if MacArthur and a handful of divisions in Korea can stand off the hordes of the Chinese Red army, could not the 60 or 70 divisions which the western powers hope eventually to have in Europe, fight a successful defensive war against the Russian divisions? The people of the middle-west were won't come about' unless close to the earth. They measured man by what he was and could do.

They hated all artificial stratifications in society. Hot strangely they produced a language which could be understood In foreign lands and divers tongues. It is this language that General Eisenhower speaks. It is this dialect; over and above his military virtues and accomplishments, that made him an effective commander ouring the second World war and makes him the obvious military leader of the free world now. It is not military dialect.

General Elsenhower knew how to put hope and courage Kansas hope end courage, courage of the cattle trails, hope born of direct dealings "With nature into private soldiers. He knew how to persuade the most unlikely elements to work together in a common cause Churchill, Montgomery. GIraud. de Gaulle, even Zhukov yielded at critical points to the leadership of the man from Abilene. He knew how to trust himself, as a pioneer must.

thus he could order the Sicily land- Ings in the face of a rising storm; overrule Churchill's original skepticism about the Normandy landings; drop two American airborne divisions behind the Utah beach when experts said the plan was suicidal. He has evidently carried these same qualities into his round of talks with the NAP. governments, The language of Abilene has been understood in London, Paris, Brussels, Rome; perhaps, too, in Bonn. In detail these discussions have been complex, and almost unimaginable complexities lie ahead. In.

substance they have been simple, and so he makes clear. Shall 200,000,000 Europeans, 150,000,000 Americans, other millions elsewhere, give up hope of defending themselves and their liberties? Put that way. a more stringent and extreme emergency than is now foreseen finally T. L. were mustered cut.

Charles W. Bailey was among these. When ha was 15 years old he enlisted in the Union army and left his Wisconsin home to serve for three years. After a rugged early experience in Kansas, Mr. Bailey and his wife both left the farm near Humboldt and at the age of 33 enrolled in Baker university.

He graduated and entered the ministry. As a Methodist preacher he held pastorates in numerous Kansas cities, served the church as district superintendent and at the age of 90 retired. For a dozen years he enjoyed his retirement. Reports from family and other events in his honor revealed that the veneroble minister veteran maintained an alert mind, a deep interest in the affairs of his country and rugged, determined and firm views with respect to the vital issues of the day. His public and pulpit appearances as he reached the century mark were not short of amazing.

Kansas must bow its head in tribute to her last "old soldier." His passing is ample cause to contemplate the part the veterans played in the development of this state. Their most Important activity was as citizens taking a part in operating the government of Kansas. In short, the veterans of the Civil War exercised a controlling strength In the politics of the state for 40 years. Only about one-fifth of them werft in the great Civil War veterans organization, the G.A.R. Grand Army of the Republic.

But most of the leaders In those decades in Kansas were members of the organization and, made themselves powerful factors tn determining the political decisions of the state. The G. A. R. of the veterans.

Gradually the CK'il War veterans' influence reached its peak and started down. This due to the advanced age and to Hie natural loss of strength by death. -o- TIIE STRIKE MUST END The director of mobilization, Jharles E. Wilson, In a nation-wide broadcast, told the striking railway "I ask you to report for duty, now, tonight, for those who should be working to stay on the job as patriotic Americans. What you are doing can hurt the United States more than all the Communist armies in Korea The Communists could not hope to be this effective if they started a full scale program of sabotage The whole country and our men overseas will be watching what Corning- from a man high in the government, a man charged with our nation's mobilization against potential enemies, this was strong language.

By inferring the "sickness" strike was worse than Communist sabotage, the Wilson statement placed a sabotage label on the strikers. So what happened? Some of them have returned to their Railroads in the vital Chicago area remain tied. Freight Is piling up in terminals and much of it is war tanks for our troops in Korea. It may be by tonight the resistance of the strikers will have ended, but If not, the government will have to use even stronger language. Already the sympathy of the public toward the rail workers has been lost.

A move to draft strikers who are holding their jobs by deferment has cropped up in Congress. Such a measure might be introduced and passed. Congress might even resort to the World War I "work or fight" law. Regard- CAN HAVE OUR CAKE Ifc is frequently argued that we cannot have effective national defense without lowering our present high standards of living. Yet four of the country's top-ranking economists acting as a committee of the Twentieth Century Fund say we can have both, but only if we succeed in carrying through a realistic program of economic mobilization, If we are going to mobilize our economy, the economists call upon all of us to accept personal sacrifices and reduced consumption during the initial stages of rearmament.

And if we succeed in the first phase of economic mobilization we tnen have the chance to progress toward the twin seals of adequate defense and risfiig living standards. But it is a fond ahead. It calls for sacrifices by the government ar.d the administration as well as by the public. The chief immediate needs, this committee points out, are pay-as-you-go taxation (with a federal retail sales tax at least a possibility), a limitation of bank credit (accepting some rise in the interest rate on government debt is necessary), and a truce on customary contests of bargaining power and pressure among the interest groups. Even with eminent economists urging such a program, it is doubtful if the country is ready for so drastic a program now.

The committee looks upon the present general freeze of wages and prices as a stop -sap measure to halt the spiral which is distorting the balance between industrial prices, agricultural prices and wages. The Of course situations prevailing in experts say price control "must" be Korea might not be the same in becked by allocations in manv direc- Europe.

This thrilling spectacle is set up for the projected 2-A million dollar fieldhouse which will make an outhouse. Adding a tinge of military necessity, the citadel on Mount Oread is to be called an armory as well as a fieldhouse.

Bailey, it gives Its farewell to the powerful group of Kansans who turned from war to peace. The Kansans established farms and ranches, built stores and mills, opened law offices and doctors offices and operated factories and shops. In every community in Kansas they assumed leadership. Ifc was not merely political leadership that they held. They were the moving spirits in industry and commerce and in community activities in alj forms of progress that, put together, made up Kansas.

The political power that was exercised was not to be compared with the influence of these men through their communities in building of Kansas economically and socially. And so the ending of Rev. C.
