ABUSED PRIVILEGE The Bitter Pill i Einstein Cntici of. the many privileges inherent in U. S. citizenship is the right of free Speech. Wo suspect that this right, arid others, played an important part in the decision of' Prof.

Albert Einstein to come our shores and to seek and acquire citizenship. "The man almost universally recognized a penius in the field of mathematics vesterdav 'availed hinw1 of his malien- lable npht to speak out. What he said was across 'the front passes of the newspapers of the land including We now make bold- as a citizen, to ourcelf of the samp and tn sav that we -disagree with Mr. Einstein, from to- "izzard." The celebrated mathematician said ev- "intellectual" called before a Con- cfessSonal committee seekin" information as to his loyalty to this government should to "answer, even if it means iail, 'or pcnnomir ruin." that we reply: "O.K. Let refusal mp'-m -just that." Does the learned surest that -we have two tvnes of citizens in the 1 the "intellectuals" and the "neasants? If -so he has not learned well those few lessons of Americanism he presumably was 'required to learn before admitted ''to ritizenshin.

Does Professor Einstein ariue that we should deal in one wav with mtelVct- "uals," and another with common, ordin- arv Americans? 'His statement sounds like he does and if he does he has failed, again, to understand a basic principle of government and of citizenship in tne U.S. Does he contend that an intellectual should be permitted to undermine our principles of freedom, unlimited and uncontrolled; to foment, revolt and the capture of the country by force, simply because he sets himself up as an "intellectual or somebody calls him an intellectual?" We know next to nothing of relativity, of atom-smashing even of the sunniest mathematical theories. But we contend that a traitorous "intellectual is no better than a traitorous dolt and should be dealt with, under the law, in the very same way. Professor Einstein's outburst proved again, it seems to us, that an individual mav be very smart in one field of human activity, an'd as dumb ES a hoe-handle in some other field. What profiteth a man if he can calculate into the nth dimension, yet finds it impossible to understand a system which requires, only, that all citizens be dealt with alike under the law? The professor will be wiser, and more appreciated, if he limits his future public pronounciamentoes to subiects with which he has at least a passing acquaintance.

Pool Dedications EDICATION ceremonies arranged for the new swimming nools in K. N. Clapp and Mae Simmons Parks mark important milestone? in the provision of needed recreational facilities in this growing City. The pool in Mae Simmons Park. Twenty-third Street and Weber Avenue on the east bank of Yellowhouse Canyon, will serve residents of Lubbock.

It will be in operation today, but the dedication has been set for 2:30 p.m. June 19 Emancipation Day. Plans for the occasion are elaborate, including a downtown parade. Our Negro citizens are exceedingly proud of the pool and the new. 60-acre park in which it is located.

The pool in K. N. Clapr. Park, Forty- fifth Street and Avenue U. will be for white patrons.

It will ease the load on the Mackenzie State Park Pool which, too often, has been iammed to sardine-can It will be opened at 1:30 n.m. Sunday, with dedication ceremonies -sched- Monday night at 7:30 o'clock. It is most appropriate that it has been named for the man who has been a member of the City Parks Board since its creation in 1927. and chairman of that body more than 28 years. Mr.

Clapp often is referred to as the "father of the City's parks system." Both ceremonies will be well worth attending. The pools will be assets to all resi- of Lubbock. regardless of whether they take advantage of the new recre- ational opportunities opened to them. Nothing has been said in recent months about putting the automobile motor in the rear. Perhaps the industry has decided it would be a mistake to put the car before the horsepower, Old-timers remember when the grocer let the cat sleep in the barrel of crackers at night to keep the rats out.

(THE STORY: Vrhlle to arrange Winter quarters for a waVMl train captained by WHkinnon. Pete Morrison, a scout, finds that the only available spot Is Twn Rivers, ft sftttlement dominated by the rpnecnde Barnes. Barnes seems to havn heard of Wilkinson, and later Nate tw- 1 levps from Pete's description that Barnes was an old enemy he hnd known In Illinois. But in those days Barnes was called "Tobey," which DIP rtnmp Barnps has Riven notr tn an Indian servant.) VI ATE WILKINSON was silent a few minutes before he spoke. His face was tense.

Then he said "The Tobey I knew was a thief and a killer. Hot; stealing was his Eame, back in Illinois. He did it on big scale and killed several men one of them a good friend of mine but he never could be convicted. We had to get rid of him so I gathered a bunch of men one night and we called on Tobey, ordering him to leave the country and never come back. He tried to fight, so we gave him a whipping and a coat of tar and feathers." "Zad Barnes wouldn't have liked that," Pete murmured.

"It was a mistake. We should have let the law handle him, but we were angry. Tobey recognized didn't wear a mask like the others. He swore he'd get even. He did.

I was called East on a business trip and when I got home my five-year-old daughter was missing. The kidnanper had loft a note which said, 'I told you I'd get I suppose he murdered 1 Pete was listening with incredulous ears, but he knew that the law of averages was occasionally defeated. And this certainly seemed to be one of the times. It was hard for him to restrain the excitement he felt. He asked, "How long ago was this.

Nate?" "About 1.5 years." Nate's daughter had been five when he lost her, and Betty Barnes was about 20 now. She believed that Zad Barnes had adopted her. Pete said quietly as he could "I don't want to arouse any false hopes, Nate, and Barnes may not be your man at all. But if he is I believe your daughter is alive, for Barnes has a 20-year-old girJ who thinks she is his adopted daughter." Nate Wilkinson reeled on his feet, and sat down abruptly. His voice quavered when he spoke.

"Is is her name Elizabeth?" he asked. "They call her Betty." "It's my baby." Wilkinson suddenly broke into uncontrollable sobs. It was the most distressing, embarrassing thing Pete had ever had to watch ILKINSON got control of himself quickly. "Excuse me," he said, "I shouldn't blubber that way, but to hear that my little girl that I've mourned for years is still alive sort of bowled me over." "It's understandable," Pete said, "but remember that we can't be sure yet." "I'm sure," Wilkinson said confidently. "I used to pray that she wasn't dead.

Tell me, how does she look?" "She's a beautiful girl." Wilkinson nodded. "She would be." Then fear assailed him. "But will she want to leave Tobey? How does she feel toward him?" "My judgment is that she's a little afraid of him; maybe not so much afraid of him as the men around him. He told Nate then ol the warning she had given him. "We've got to get her away from Tobey just as.

fast as we can get there," Wilkinson said. "We'll pull out in the morning." "There's one thing to remember: Barnes mustn't suspect who you are, or he may hide her away somewhere." "You said he was startlsd when you mentioned my name. He knows already," Wilkinson said. "That's true. Look, Nate, we've got to use our heads, I don't know how many spies Barnes has.

For I know one ol watching this camp right row. But I've got to go back ahead of you. I'll get hold of Betty if I can. If she has disappeared I'll tell Barnes that you've decided to winter up here, and he may bring her back." "But I'll be on my way," Wilkinson said stubbornly. "I can't wait for a slow wagon train, I'm going with you.

Cal Hawkins can bring the wagons." "It wouldn't be wise. If you were recognized it might be the worst thing in the world for Betty," Pete warned. "No. it won't. We'll be careful, but this is a job I can't delegate to any man even you, Pete." Pete soon saw that it was useless to argue.

Wilkinson owned a fast team and a buggy, and he was determined to start in the morning. mHEY talked until late night, J- and as they were preparing for bed Wilkinson said, "Golly, Pete. I almost forgot. There's a woman here who says she knows you, and she swears she is going to Two Rivers with us." "A woman who knows me?" Pete looked blank, "I can't "Said he name was Cassie Dean, I believe. Fine looker." "Cass Dean!" Pete exclaimed.

"You know her?" "I was engaged to marry her once," Pete admitted. "The war split us up. Her folks were Southerners. I haven't seen her for five years. I supposed she was mar-, ried by now." "Then maybe we're both lucky." "I'm not so sure.

Last time I saw her she told me she never wanted to see me again. I'm not sure I want to see her." "She's a pretty determined looking woman," Nate, said. "She's here? In this camp?" "Well, not exactly, but she's down in Echo Junction, two miles from here. She said she'd scalp me if I left without her. You'll have to see her, whether you want not." "Yes," Pete said slowly.

"I'll have to see her." (To Be Continued) Looking At Life. by Erich Brandeis A MAN who came "here as an immigrant from what was then Bohemia, now Czechoslovakia, writes that America has been very good to him. He isn't rich, he says, but he has a nice family. a nice business and a nice account. He makes the following offer: He will set up a- fund of out; of which any Communist, who wants to go back to one of the Iron Curtain countries, may draw the amount of a BRANDEIS tourist class or air coach ticket.

Just so that there may be no impostors, the would-be returnee would first have to sign a statement that he IS a Communist and, secondly, he would have to pledge himself, in writing, never to come back to the United States. In addition, the fellow offers to make me a bet of $100 that there won't be a single applicant. He also encloses a newspaper clipping. It is a press association reporter's account of his recent Funny Business visit to Warsaw, Poland, one of the strongholds of the Communist Utopia. It tells that the government is now running almost every shop in the capital and that it certainly is trying to make a "fast zloty." This newspaperman did some shopping in Warsaw that is, window shopping.

He says he used to get mad at the prices charged by Fifth Avenue shops in New York, or the ones asked by the cuts: little stores around the Place Vendome in Paris. But you ain't seen npthing yet, until you go shopping in Warsaw! On one of his shopping trips he saw a pair of men's black shoes ordinary quality, priced at the equivalent of $231.25. A girls' jersey sweater was $187. He went to another government store. A poor quality poplin shirt, supposed to be white, but looking definitely a faded yellow, was shown in the window at $60.

A leather brief case was $200; a pair of swim trunks $85; a toy teddy See LOOKING AT LIFE Page OVER FINANCIAL MOVE Kaiser Faces Probe By RAY TUCKER Special Correspondent ASHINGTON: The first complete recital of Henry J. Kaiser's receipt of multi- billion-dolitfr, favors from American taxpayers is about to be presented on Capitol Hill, with John Wesley Snyder Truman's personal con- Ifidant and former Secretary I of the Treasury, appearing in I the role of Henry fairy Snyder is now vice presi- Ident of Willys at a reported Isalaryiof $100,000 a year. The of the nonprofitable IK-F automobile interests with (the successful Willys-Over- 'land firm was arranged only TUCKER a few weeks before Snyder quit his Treasury a loss of at least $5,000,000 to the Treasury through a balancing of the combined losses and profits for tax purposes. ODD DISCUSSION: Although Snyder denies that he had any part in this deal, he got his present job only nine days after the inauguration of President Eisenhower, In view of Snyder's disclaimer, investigators consider it odd that Harry A. McDonald, holdover head of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, thought it advisable and necessary to discuss the merger's tax implications with Secretary George M.

Humphrey, Snyder 1 successor. Ironically, the key figure in this Kaiser- Snydfir drama is Senator John J. Williams of Delaware, who single-handed uncovered the appalling laxity and corruption in Snyder's Bureau of Internal Revenue. Williams met Truman-Snyder opposition then, and got no assistance "from GOP colleagues. Now, however, the fantastic Kaiser story is breaking all over Capitol Hill.

A MYSTERIOUS CONTACT: The Senate Armed Services Committee has been unable to learn why the Air Force contracted for Kaiser to manufacture C-119 planes at an estimated unit cost of $476,000 when the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation produces them for $260,000 each. Williams believes that, next to F.D.R., Snyder was Kaiser's principal benefactor at Washington. As a former RFC director, Federal Loan Administrator, War Mobilizer and Secretary of the Treasury, the erstwhile St. Louis banker was the key policy-maker on loans. SALE OF WILLOW RUN TO KAISER: After entering the shipbuilding, magnesium, steel and airplane fields with the of Federal loans, always okayed by F.D.R.

himself, who had taken a great fancy to a liberal industrialist. Kaiser got into the automobile "business in 1948 by buying the Willow Run bomber plant for $15,510,000 although the construction cost was $42,800,000. Snyder concurred in the view that Willow Run be sold as surplus property. Even before this transaction was recorded, Kaiser used Willow Run and other assets to obtain a $35,000,000 loan from RFC, which Snyder then dominated. Kaiser's current indebtedness to the government is almost $90,000,000, although Senator Williams think it may be more.

The man from Delaware is receiving new data on these deals periodically. UNUSUAL CONCESSIONS: Only a few weeks before its end, the Truman Administration granted-unusual concessions to Kaiser. In facilitating the automobile merger, it agreed to subordinate all its claims against the government's biggest individual debtor. It also agreed that forthcoming profits from the combined automobile corporation may go first to pay off private bank financiers and to declare dividends to stockholders. Uncle Sam's $90,000,000 obligation becomes a second mortgage.

The Willow Run plant, the key structure in Kaiser's expanding empire, is included in the waiver. Kaiser has made only one annual payment on the principal, amounting to $679,500. With the 10 per cent down payment of $1,510.000, his equity in Willow Run after five years is only $2,189,500. TRUMAN ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT: His private financiers are the Bank of America National Trust Savings Association, the Mellon National Bank and Trust Company and the Bankers Trust Company. It is curious that, while Truman was belaboring Wall Street in the 1948 campaign, his Secretary of the Treasury and his RFC direc-.

tors agreed to defer Kaiser's principal payments on Willow Run until 1954 as a condition to his borrowing from the bankers. Finally, Jesse H. Jones, who conducted RFC so successfully before he was ousted by F.D.R, declared in his memoirs that it was "sorry business" for the RFC to finance Kaiser's automobile operations.

SOKOLSKT Special Correspondent 'UWERY year, about this time, J-J.

I feel the closeness of the soil, a lust for the earth. I don't know why this should be so. City-bred, city-reared, I find heart a peasant. So I went up to my farm and met Pedrols- She had been named Pedro until it was discovered that she could lay eggs. So, she be- a Pedrola.

v-e Christine Jorgensen, male or female, as you please, cannot lay eggs, but Pe- SOKOLSKT drola can. She must be a lady pigeon. Now, I am not familiar with the ways of pigeons, having only seen them in the mass, hundreds or even thousands of them in parks or in the vicinity of churches. But never have I had any business with an individual pigeon until I met Pedrola. But here is an individual a distinctive personality.

Talks Almost Constantly Pedrola follows a person as a dog does. She is interested in what is happening and pokes her nose into everybody's busines. She walks along in constant conversation, apparently cocking an eye to see if she is being listened to. I was new to Pedrola, but she took to me as a fellow- pigeon, cooing and gurgling and strutting. Of course, I did not understand her language, but it made no difference, for Pedrola had fallen in love.

And the language of love is universal. pigeon had ever fallen in love with me before and I did not know the customs of pigeons at all. It was all to very sudden. Pedrola must have understood my dilemma, for she flew onto my shoulder, pecked at the lobe of my ear, and talked bewitchingly. As though that were not enough, she jumped on my head, became comfortable and went for a ride.

I had been warned that pigeons can be unseemly, but Pedrola apparently chose to have n6 untoward incidents. She sat calmly and with great dignity on my head, which must have made me look like a Viking or somthing. And when she wearied of that posture, she flew away, circled and returned. My dog, Brownie, is very jealous of anyone paying me such attentions and I feared that Brownie might waylay Pedrola and eat her. But that did not happen.

Each went her way in the presence of the great master. I could not help thinking all the time how things in nature always go their own way, no matter what we humans do about it. A coronation attracts millions of people, but if it has to rain, it rains just the same even if a queen is crowrfed. World Changed Little The seasons know no wars end no peace, but rhythmically one follows the other and always in the proper order. Men and women plan and plot to make the world as they would have it, but the old world goes on behaving as it chooses.

It is like great craters made by shot and shell. But the grass comes in from nowhere, and then bracken appears and perhaps a tree, and the battle-scarred terrain is what it was meant to be. Nature is always at work, guided by the divine intelligence that strives for order no matter who else seeks disorder. For thousands of years, human beings have been creating their own disorders, always to find that in the end some laws of nature pull them' right back into an orderly way of life. "DEDROLA started me off in this direction.

As I played with the pigeon in the calm of a spring day on my farm, watching trees bud and flowers poke their noses through the earth, robins and woodpeckers making their nests, and all so busy doing what they have to do, I could not help wondering why we must make our lives so disorderly. Always ws are so rentless to make every, thing so disturbingly different. Yet, it is this very disturbance; which makes for the advances of this human race. But the question must arise in your mind, as it is now in mine, why can we not improve our world without disturbing our lives? I suppose this question has been asked for thousands of years and nobody has the answer. Mnybe that is why we will settle our great problems by war.

But that does not seem to me to be an answer to anything. It leaves everything more disturbed and confused. well known plump Parisian-actor, inivted recently to luncheon by a friend, looked at the menu and "That's per. feet. I'll have that."
