By CHARLES V. STANTON
We're Retting doggone Hick and tired of all this talk
about ''fear" of what Russia may think, do or nay. It'
bout time, we believe, that we let Russia do some of the
fearing. , ,
Our leaders "fear" Russia might atart a full-scale
war. They "fear" Russia might invade Kurope. They "fear"
Russia might try to seize Iran. They "fear" Russia might
drop atomic bombs on us.
What our leaders need is a transfusion of some good
American blood- to supplant the ice water in their veins,
causing chills each time they think of Russia.
It is entirely possible that the administration has been
feeding the American people scare propaganda for so
many years it has developed a fear complex of its own.
General Marshall's testimony before the U. S. Senate
is replete with "fear." President Truman has endorsed
Marshall's testimony, .V TOTO. making it plain that Marsh
all's fears are the administration's fears.
Inttitinal Fertitudt Needed
We once had the intestinal fortitude to risk a war be
cause we refused to pay tribute to pirates. We threatened
military action against nations mistreating our nationals.
We sent punitive columns against bandits who crossed into
our territory. Teddy Roosevelt sailed our fleet around the
world as a challenge during a crisis. Manv times we have
exemplified the bold colonial warning: "Don't Tread On
Me."
But now we permit an American national to be im
prisoned and tortured for 17 months and then pay ransom
for hla release. We permit a correspondent of one of our
press services to be taken into custody while our coun
sels are denied opportunity to defend him. We allow
enemy agents to cross into lands under our control to kid
nap people who have come to us for protection. We
cringe In terror at each bold approach of our bullying
enemy. What has happened to American courage?
We do not believe this lack of courage applies to Ameri
can people as a whole. Americans aren't timid people.
We do not believe that the fraidy-cat tendencies of our
leaders are representative of the public they serve. We
do not believe that the American people are In sympathy
with the spineless appeasement policies of the administra
tion. While we discount much of the Intensity of the Mac
Arthur reception as having political implication, that spon
taneous welcome had unmistakable patriotic overtones.
American courage, we believe, needs only able leadership.
Firm Policy Wanted
General MacArthur, when asked in the senate inquiry
whether he disagreed with administration policy, asked, in
effect, what no cv? He sairl
for him to follow
- ,.' . . '
Obviously the general spoke the truth, for conflicts In
statements and actions of the administration, show polirv
based on day-to-day decisions and influenced, or directed,
by United Nations allies. We wait until a problem has
been forced Upon us, then try to decide what to do about
it, trembling lest our protest be ill-received.
We do not advocate a chip-on-shoulder policy; nor do
we propose that we become an international bully. We
propose, rather, that we let it be known we are no longer
to be pushed around; that we announce, definitely and
positively, that we will not temporize with aggression:
that we will, tolerate no mistreatment of our nationals;
that we are men, not mice.
Is Russia bluffing, or will she back down if told to
stay on her side of the fenre? Our administration ad
mits its fear of what might hanpen if we took a firm po
sition and then found out that Russia wasn't bluffing.
Todav we have an advantav in sea power, in atomic
weapons, in quality if not quantity of air txiwer. If Rus
sia is bent on world domination, she will start a war when
ever she feels the time is right. Are we to ait and let
Russia select the battleground where her advantage in
manpower will be in her favor, or should we pick the arena
to best litilir.e our own superiorities? If we acted firmly
now would we not be in a better position to upset Russia's
timetable or possibly so secure and contain communism
that it would wear itself nut within its own cage?
Determination, not fear, we believe, should dominate
our policies.

WASHINGTON' The interlocking directorate of ad
ministration influence peddlers has been exposed. Working
happily at their task for weeks, two Washington newspaper
men, Fletcher Knelel and Jack Wilson, laid out the politic
al muck for the public to see in a recent issue of Look maga
zine.
Here la quick rundown of what
they found:
1. Four members of the White
House staff have been implicated
in undercover deals since April,
194.V
2. Two friends of the While House
have been convicted of fraud,
third indicted

have been caught trying to improve
their private lortunr through their
positions on the public payroll.

coffer?. They were trading on a
famous name, sometimes with and
sometimes without the President's
help, and they are still trading on
it.
Margaret Truman, of course,

is a queer bird. Kverv time he
sees a tree his palms itch for the
handle of a cutting instrument.
Maybe in the early days in rain
scarce Nevada they had an organ
ization of tree-loving vigilantes and
hanged all the tree slashers to the
nearest convenient limb.
Anyway, they saved the trees.
And in among the trees there are
not only handsome homes b u t
churches galore. I'm mentioning
this is hot news, because ! imag
ine it will be news to most of
those who go to Reno. As a class,
they aren't looking for trees and
homes and churches.
The Nevada gambling? To me
it's a depressing sight. Nothing is
sadder than to watch people GAM
BLING FOR MONEY. There are
a few happy souls, of course, who
can gamble for fun. But they're
a scarce species. Most of the gam
bling here is for the old mazuma
preferably in large quantities, for
a small investment. The devotees
of the goddess of chance want to
drop a dollar in a slot machine
and retire on the proceeds. Those
who play the nickel machines nnve
the same yen seen through the
wrong end of the telescope.
Except for the occasional sunny
souled extrovert who lives for the
fun he gets out of taking a chance,
they gamble with hard, tense
faces and Uiose who are obviously
gambling with the grocery store
money are the hardest and tensest
of all.
It gives me the heebie-jeebies to
watch that kind.
The kinds of gambling? There
are ALL kinds. But the slot ma
chine is the Big Chief of the tribe.
I They have 'em in shoals every
where. A fairly recent racket is to
group em in banks of four or five
.so that one player can monopolize
the whole bank. If you want a
dirty look that reeks with desire
to sink a knife in your back, just
horn in on a row of lever-bandits
that is being milked by some get-rich-quick
artist all by his little
self!
You could probably steal his
wife and he'd grin amiably. But
just step up and slip a coin in
one of the machines he regards as
for the moment his own and the
sparks begin to fly.
Gambling, in Nevada, is big
business. And. everything consid
ered. I suppose that in Nevada it
is a PAYING business. If you want
to think straight, you have to re
member that the bulk of the gam
bling money comes into Nevada
from the outside. To that extent,
Nevada is like Mont Carlo. For
centuries, outsiders have been
pouring gambling money Into
Monte Carlo, and with nothing else
to depend on Monte Carlo has
done right well by itself all these
years.
It's like a pool that Is contin
ually refreshed by a running
stream. The incoming water more
than makes up for what is lost
by evaporation. It's the same with
gambling ' money i n Nevada.
There's a new supply always flow
ing in.
Other states are beginning to
look with envious eves on what
they imagine is the Nevada mir
acle. If called upon for advice, I
Ihink I'd say: "Nix, boys, nix!
You ain't got what it takes. With
out a perpetually flowing stream
of suckers, you'd soon reach the
point where you'd be just circu
lating your home money among
yourselves WITH THE RACKET
EERS CONSTANTLY ROBBING
THE KITTY."
Without a constant and depend
able stream of new suckers, the
scheme won't work, any more than
miciinn Frirtav annrnved the olan
which will go 'in effect May 23.
Two trains between Portland and
California will be alfected, the

a pool of water whose evaporation
exceeds its inflow will continue to
get deeper.
If all the states start legalizing
gambling, there will soon be no
fresh inflowing stream of suckers.
All in all, I think the other states
will be wise if they let Nevada
have her gambling. With her big
money mines played out and water
as scarce as it is, she hasn't got
too much else.
Why envy her?
