USE OF ATOMIC WEAPONS
From time to time, ever since 1945, the use of
the atomic bomb, with its large scale destruction of
life and property, ha., been attacked by self-appointed
custodians of the human conscience. The weapon
has been variously described as monstrous, inhuman
and diabolical. But these are the attributes of all
weapons, are they not?
War is an evil state. It is a disheartening note
that, after nearly two thousand years of Christian
civilization, men still hate and kill. It is discouraging
that, in this enlightened day, nations elect to employ
force as an instrument of national policy.
Nevertheless, in the development of modern war
fare, it is apparent that the industrial framework of
a nation represents a prime target and that impair
ment or destruction of the means of production is a
legitimate military objective.
Although the atomic bomb may kill and destroy
on a wholesale basis, rather than on the retail level,
we are unable to discern any moral or ethical dif
ference between it and less efficient weapons.
Whether a city and its people be destroyed by a
single atomic bomb or by a thousand conventional
bombs delivered in a hundred raids, makes little
difference as we see it.
It is to be hoped — and earnestly so — that we
will be able to avert further bloodshed and destruc
tion. It is to be hoped that the world can know
lasting peace. But should our national folly lead
us into another war, it would only be further folly
to disdain our atomic weapons on humanitarian
grounds.
There will never be a weapon that will change
Sherman's famous definition of war, but atomic
weapons may well shorten its duration.
WHISKEY AND GUNPOWDER
Wet or dry, we believe you will applaud the I
efforts of the brewers and distillers of America to
encourage the moderate use of their products. Ever
since repeal of the ill-advised Eighteenth Amendment,
leaders of these industries have waged a ceaseless cam
paign to eliminate the abuses engendered by intem
perance.
As the fall hunting season gets under way, we are
again reminded of the preventable accidents of pre
vious seasons. Sportsmen everywhere are aware of
the danger inherent in the use of firearms and take
every precaution to minimize that danger.
In a timely message to hunters, the Seagram
Distillers point out that whiskey and gunpowder do '
not mix and urge all sportsmen, for safety's sake, to
practice moderation.
The message, an institutional advertisement ap
pearing in leading outdoor magazines, concludes with
the following plea, which needs no comment:
•'Therefort — as this hunting season opens, let
us again say this ... for your sake ... for your
friends’ and family’s sake ... for the sake of your
great and ancient sport, itself . . . drink only at the
hunting day’s end . . . and then ... in sporting and
gentlemanly moderation.”
Our idea of a plutocrat is one who has breakfast
in bed.
Most people devote too much of their time to
non-essentials.
We know talkers who can be as plausible as a
book advertisement.
No person who wilfully violates the law is fit to
enforce it upon others.
Add similes: As welcome as a cold snap without
any fire in the house.
Individuals are often generous in big things
and stingy in little ways, and vice versa.
If the source of driving power is in the mind,
we know people who need more brains.
The prevailing economy has much to do with
the prevailing morality of any region.
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page One)
“I understand," remarked Dave
Ingalls of Cleveland, who is Tafts
cousin, "thatr he has the bug."
' This caused Senator Taft to re
mark that the general sent word to
him that th< only thing that con
cerned him about the Presidential
election was his program for Eu
rope. "He indicated," commented
the Senator, "that if he had assur
ance of a reasonable degree of inde
pendence in forming policies for the
defense of western Europe, he would
not interfere in the campaign and
election."
SMEAR CAMPAIGN STARTS
Senator Taft probably doesn’t
know this, but some of his cohorts
already have launched the smear
Eisenhower campaign hinted at by
Ben Tate.
First attempt to scare the general
out of the Presidential primaries
came from Westbrook Pegler last
week when he reported Ike's alleged
flirtation with an English Wac dur
ing the war, and warned that Pre
sident Truman would use this to
wipe up the general if he got into
the Presidential race.
Actually, certain Republicans, not
Truman, are more likely to use this
against Eisenhower. In fact, they’ve
already started. It happens that
Truman and Eisenhower not only
are friends, but Truman was deep
ly grateful to Ike for staying out of
the 1948 race when Ike could have
had the Democratic nomination for,
the asking, but when Truman want- |
ed it more than anything else in
this world.
So if Eisenhower wants to run
this time, it’s a fairly good bet
that Truman won’t.
Meanwhile, the Westbrook Peg- 1
lers and other smear-Eisenhower
artists mgiht look up the below
the belt tactics used against Grover
Cleveland. They elected him.
JESSl’P AND EISENHOWER
Those who watched the Senate
hearings on Ambassador Philip Jes- j
sup detected a smear-Eisenhower
undertone in that proceeding also. I
For Jessup is a Columbia Univer- !
sity professor who not only served
on Eisenhower’s faculty, but receiv
ed a letter from Ike defending him
against the McCarthy pro-Com- j
munist attack.
Seated across the table from Jes- |
sup during the Senate hearings was I
a Republican who has vowed to stop
Eisenhower and who has staked his
entire political future on Taft—
Owen Brewster of Maine.
It was Brewster who led the at
tack on Jessup inside the Senate
committee, though privately admit
ting to other Senators that Mc
Carthy hadn’t proved his charges.
STASSE.VS POOR MEMORY
Senators who listened to Harold
E. Stfissen stumble through the
Jrsrup hearings say that Stassen
apparently die fi’t count on the
State Department releasing the full, :
secret transcript of the round-table
conference over far eastern policy.
Staasen testified, for example,
that Jessup brought ifp the ques
tion of recognizing Communist
China on the third day of the con
ference, and that the State Depart
ment came out in favor of recogni
tion. The actual transcript, how
ever, shows that the question of re
cognizing Communist China was
brought up, not by Jessup but bj
the State Department's Charles
Butterworth, not on the third day
but the first day. Furthermore,
Butterworth set forth the State De
partment's position clearly, which
was against recognizing the Red
regime.
Throughout his entire testimony
Stassen twisted the truth in an
attempt to reflect on the State De
partment.
"As the conference opened,” Stas
sen testified before the Senate com
mittee, “and when I observed the
stenotypist, I stated that I wished
a copy of the transcript of every
thing that I, myself, said during the
conference, and that I would not
participate unless I was assured of
receiving the transcript. There was
some demurring and some discus
sion, and then it was agreed that
I would receive a transcript of ev
erything I said during the three
days.”
However, the verbatim copy of the
official transcript, which Stassen
didn't expect to be released, shows
that just the opposite took place.
As the conference was about to be
gin, the transcript shows, Stassen
said: “May I raise a question
first? It would seem to me if you
are taking a stenographic record,
that we ought to have a copy of
our own remarks at least, even
though we do not have a transcript
of the whole proceedings."
"All right. Sir," replied Francis
Russell of the State Department,
“we would be glad to do that.”
There was no demurring, no dis
cussion, no objection. The blunt
truth is that the transcript itself
shows Stassen's memory to be ex
tremely bad.
BOYLE PARTNER
It was Maine's courageous Sen.
Margaret Chase Smith who first
asked the Hoey Committee to inves
tigate a key associate of Democratic
ex-Chairman Bill Boyle.
In a Senate speech she said: “I
suggest that the subcommittee call
Mr. Daniel J. Hanlon and ask him
if he was in any way connected
with the legal controversy with the
government over the American
President Line."
Information in Senate committee
files indicates that • when the Com
merce Department ruled against
turning the American President
Line back to Dollar. Hanlon was
hired'to represent him in Washing
ton.
Hanlon, a former law partner of
Boyle, was listed as an assistant
to him in the Democratic campaign
of 1948.

Presbyterian
1952 Synod May
Meet in Aiaska
SEATTLE, Oct. 19—TP—Presby
terian churches of Washington state
are being polled ci'- a proposal to
hold the 1952 r.yr.ou meeting in
Alaska.
Chin-ch officials said yesterday
ministers and governing bodies of
the 172 churches and directors of
Presbyterian organizations are be
ing polled by letter seeking approval
for the general council to change
the meeting place from Spokane.
Th p plan was developed by a
special committee appointed at last
year's synod to study ways and
means of meeting in Alaska.
Church leaders said the 1352
synod was set officially for Spokane
but the committee is urging that it
be changed to Alaska “in view of
possible changing conditions and
rising costs preventing such a trip
in 1953 or later.”
Under the plan, the synod would
make the trip by chartered vessel.
It would be a seven-day cruise with
Alaskan delegates boarding the ves
sel at one of the ports.
Sessions would be held on board
enroute, and stops would be made at
various ports.

Q. Should a boy or girl who is entering college ask a fraternity
| or society member for a recommendation to his or her group? ,
A. Never. Such advances must be made by a member of the fra
| ternity or sorority. To make such a request would be the same as asking
| fer an invitation to some social affair.
Q. When an invitation has been extended over the telephone, is
it all right for a wife to say, “May I ask John if he has any other plans
I for that evening, and then call you back”? *
j A. Yes; this is really the only thing she can do to avoid possible I
' embarrassment in case her husband has already made other plans. ;
