AGAIN the little man's instinct is sound and wholesome. What he says It EVERY WORD TRUE. You know it. I know it Everybody in this country knows It. The last thing in the world the people of the United States want is war with Russia or anybody else. We all know, as a matter of fact, that another war might actual ly be the last thing in the world. But, if worse comet to worst, we WILL fight is defense of our free dom. In the terrible situation we now face, we all believe with Fat rick Henry: "Give me liberty or give me death."

The Red Lake falls dam, dam aged by futile attempts to dyna mite another ice jam. went out last night. Water poured through a 100 ftot bole in the 280-foot long struc ture and raced toward Crookston. U.S. engineers predicted the sew flood crest would reach Crookston sometime today. The city was caught unprepared early Sunday by the break in the Mctartny, Wisconsin KepuDii can, said Acheson a criticism of him "indicated he goes along 100 percent with the Truman-Tydings- McMahos line that the real crim inals are those who try to expose and get rid of Communists and perverts in the state department." Mr. Truman is scheduled to make a nationwide broadcast tonight, (10 p.m. EST). His speech to the Fed eral Bar association it expected to be a defense of the government's loyalty program, target of a drum fire attack by McCarthy, who calls it grossly inadequate. The loyalty program is designed to keep Com munists and subversives tut of gov ernment jobs. Acheson's sharp criticism of Mc Carthy was in an o(M he-record speech he made Saturday night before the American Society of Newspaper Editors. The secretary did not name Mc Carthy but everyone knew he was talking 'about him. The right way to try to find subversivies in the state depart ment, Acheson said, is through the loyalty program set up by his predecessor. Gen. George C. Mar shall. Smearing At Random "The wrong way," Acheson added, "Is to smear everybody's reputation; to make charges on the basis that, if one is not right, you try to find another one you hope will stick: try to destroy the con fidence of the people in their for eign office and in their govern ment in one of the most critical hours of this nation's history to do all those things and to make it absolutely certain as a result that under no circumstances could you ever possibly find a spy in the whole place. "It is as though you said to yourself the best way to find a fire is to ring every fire alarm in the city; not that you know of any fire, but if you get all the apparatus out and have it wheeling around through the city you might find one." Then Acheson said that "what is going on is much madder and more vicious," and added: "It reminds me more of that horrible episode in Cameden, N J., which happened not so long ago when a madman came out on the street in the morning with bis re volver. Willi no purpose and no Slan as he walked down the street, e just shot people . . .' Hainan Island Handed To Reds YULIN, Hainan Island, April 24 HPi All Hainan was the Chinese Communists' for the taking today handed over by order of Chiang Kai-shek, ' The generalissimo's order for "total evacuation" of the big island gives the Reds nearly half the -em-nants of his once vast Nationalist China. . , The decision to give up the 13.SC0 square mile stronghold off south China was announced officially here by a general, one of the top officers charged with Hainan's de fense. This general accused Chiang of "sacrificing" Hainan to his own political ambitions.

The island still could be held- if the Nationalists had "only one more army" at their disposal, said this man whose name cannot be used for obvious reasons.
