knocking out the king pin of the
inter-American combination would
seek to do so by seizing regions re
t mote from continental United
States. The attack is likely to be
sudden, direct and overwhelming.
The route of such an attack is far
more likely to be across the roof
of the world rather than via the
* South Atlantic or ever the Carib
bean.
The chief significance of the
hemisphere security pact, then, is
certain to be far more psychologi
cal and political rather than mili
tary. Indeed, inter-American har
mony can suffer rather than pros
.per if too great an emphasis is
* placed on purely military coopera
tion. The role which armed bodies
have only too often played in the
politics of Latin American nations
in the past makes it essential that
nothing be done, even in the sac
red name of security, which en
courages ambitious military lead
ers to use force placed in their
keeping to seize and retain power.

$50,000 Damages
Loss of Son’s Eye
DETROIT. Mich.—(JP)—Plucky
10-year-old Richard <Dickie> Hin
son knows now that he will have
to go through life with an arti
ficial right eye to replace the one
damaged when he stole a peek
under a sideshow tent at the
Michigan State Fair.
Dickie was injured last Tues
day by a blow in the face as he
tried to get a free look at a two
headed calf exhibit, but although
physicians were forced to remove
the eye, the boy thought it was
only “scratched a little.”
Friday, as the State moved to
prosecute a sideshow guard ac
cused of kicking Dickie, the boy’s
mother. Marjorie, broke the news
to him.
A nurse said he “took it like
| a man.’* although wondering if
I he would not look awfully funny
I with only one eye.” His mother
I was quick with reassurance.
“I talked to the doctor and he'
told me he will make an eye for
you that will look like the other
one,” she explained.
The guard, Roy B. Hix, 41,
faced Recorder’s Court examina
tion today after pleading inno

assault. Meanwhile, the boy’s

British authorities announced

No details were available as
to the number or identity of the
Jews taken off the ships before

aboard the Exodus 1947. a con
