Allies1 Bid To Italy To Join
Atlantic Pact Breaks Peace
Treaty, Assertion Of Russia
LONDON, July 21. CP)
..Russia accused the three big west
ern powers Wednesday of causing
Italy to violate her peace treaty
by inviting her into the North At
lantic alliance. Britain denied it
and an Italian foreign office
spokesman said the Russian
charge was "absurd and ridicu
lous. Moscow radio announced Rus
sian notes have gone to Italy and
the big western powers making
the complaint, at a moment when
the Italian parliament is debating
ratification of the pact.
In a swift rejoinder, the foreign
office declared the western pow
ers have no intention of building
up Italy's armed forces beyond
the limits laid down in the treaty.
A spokesman termed invalid
Russia's complaint that Italy, by
Joining the pact, unlawfully had
entered an alliance pursuing ag
gressive aims.
'The North Atlantic pact Is es
sentially a defensive undertaking,
not directed against anyone," the
spokesman told a news confer
ence. . The spokesman said the text of
the Russian note has not yet been
received. He based his comments
on news agency versions of the
Russian radio announcement.
Foreign office comment at this
stage before the text of the note
has become available is unusual.
The swift retort presumably is
designed to counteract any ef
fects the Soviet charges may have
on the course of the debate in the
Italian Chamber of Dcpulies.
Swift ratification has been ex
pected. I
Educators Should Have Substitute
For lack Of Purpose' In Living
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Robert M. Hutchlns, chancellor of the University of Chicago,
has always been an energetic critic of America's failings, as he sees
them.
Recently, out, In Aspen, Colo,, the genlleman was at it again.,
This time he was attacking, among many things, the "lack of pur
pose" in American living. '
Hutchlns complained that we
fritter away pointlessly the grow
ing leisure we gain from advan
ces in labor-saving techniques.
He added: "If it is possible
to apply atomic energy to peace
time purposes we shall have
more vacant time. Atomic ener
gy, therefore, confronts mankind
with this dreadful choice: If we
have war we shall be blown to
bits; If we have peace we shall
be bored to death."
Part of the blame for this
waste of leisure Hutchlns a t
tached to the specialists who
seem to dominate our age. Too
often, he said, these Individuals
remain "uneducated men" d e
snlte their admittedly great con
tributions to science, medicine
an technology.
This Is not a new observation
but it bears repeating. It means
in effect that our scientific scho
lars and educators generally are
so busy piling up isolated
mounds of new knowledge1 that
they never find time to lump
them together into a well-molded
mass.
By Ignoring this task they
obscure the basic unity of all
knowledge. Knowledge is simply
the story of life on this earth.
Like any story, it must be told
in cohesive style and human
terms to have its greatest im
pact. The world offers rich human
satisfactions. But the average
man can be excused if he falls
to see where those rewards lie.
On every hand he meets frighten
ing complexities that discourage
his effort to understand himself,
his place in society, his relation
to the stream of history.
To find his niche he needs to
fit himself Into the large frame
work of life. It is the educator's
chore not merely to elaborate on
that structure but to keep its
fundamental unity clear and re
cognizable. The man who sees
that unity has the best chance
of a sallsfylfying existence. It
gives him a sense of belonging
that goes deep.
Without it, he too frequently
wanaers aimlessly, f inding n
real satisfaction In his work, he
seeks spectacular diversion in
his spare time to compensate for
me emptiness he leela. Leisure,

Secretary Acheson Wednesday
described as "utterly without

Italy s membership in the Atlan

Italian peace treaty.
Britain already has denied the
boviet contention.
Italy has signed the North At
lantic alliance, but has not yet

Acheson said the Russian argu
ment in the case of Italy like
other soviet objections to the
treaty, assumes that the treaty is
directed against KOssia.
Acheson said that is not the
case and the American govern
ment has said many times that
the treaty is purely defensive.
The Ttusslan protest m the case
of Italy differs from other earlier
objections against the pact, he
said, in that it claims that Italy i
memnersmp in the pact will vlo
late the Italian peace .treaty.
Actually, he said, the state de
partment has publicly stated
many times that this is not the
case.

Jackie Robinson Declares Faith In
America In Answer To Paul Robeson
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
A salute to Jackie Robinson, former noted college athlete and
now the Brooklyn Dodgers' star second baseman, for his Inspiring
declaration of faith In our country before the Un-American Activ
ities committee of the House of Representatives. -
That declaration constitutes i
moving human document a not
able chapter in the history of our
troubled times, it was a dinicuic
task for this young Negro to take
the stand and voice an opinion
regarding Paul Robeson's state
ment In Paris that American Ne
groes wouldn't fight against Rus
sia because they love that coun
try so much.
Robinson had been urged by
many people, mostly commu.
nists, not to comply with the com
mittee's request that he appear
before it. Why then did he do it;
In his straight-forward way he
told the congressmen it wasn't
easy to find the answer, but he
guessed "it boils down to a sense
of responsibility."
Jackie said that if Robeson
made the statement attributed to
him, it sounded "very silly." The
witness declared tnat most Ne
groes and Italians and Irish and
jews and Swedes and Slavs and
other Americans would act as
all these groups did in the last
Drain Assembly of God church,

ity. The late Mrs. Fosner was

Delicate Issue Faced
But this declaration of loyalty
was by no means all to be got
oi. t of Jackie's testimony. Under
it an appeared to be an under
current of faith that America's
internal racial problems were on
the way to solution. He didn't
evade this delicate issue In his
testimony. For" instance:
"I don't pretend to-be an ex
pert on communism or any other
kind of a political ism. But you
can put me down as an expert
on being a colored American,
with thirty years of experience
at it. And just like any other
colored person with sense enough
to look around and understand
what he sees, I know that life in
these United States can be
mighty tough for people who are
a little different from the ma
jorityin their skin, color or the
way that they worship their God,
or the way they spell their
names."
That stated the issue plainly
enough, but Robinson went on to
relate how he had been used as
"the laboratory specimen" in in
troducing Negro players into or
ganized baseball. Since then
some six other colored players
have beeri signed up "a start
has been made, and progress
goes on." And then:
We re going to make progress
in other American fields besides
baseball if we can get rid of
some of the misunderstandings
and confusion that the public still
suffers from. I can't speak for
any 15,000,000 people any more
than any other person can. but
I know that I've got too much
invested lor my wile and child
and myself in the future of this
country, and I and other Ameri
cans oi many races and fauns
have too much invested in our
country's welfare, for any of us
to throw it away because of

state-licensed retailers today.
Wichitans used to drink water
at a fountain erected in Carrie's

But the fountain toppled by a
truck from its curbstone mount
in front of Wichita's union station

1: An increase of 28 percent

2: An increase in reservations
made by the AAA office for rec

3: An Increase of 15 percent
