This national ideosyncrasy appears in its early stages among very young children. Boysseem to oe especially susceptible. Everyone knows of the civil service law. He was budget officer under Governor Martin and Instituted, the real budgetary controls enda possible under t stat ute passed at Governor Martin's urging. 1 This gave him an Insist into the working of all de partments' of state government then , existing.

The Statesman is pleased to note his of hornets nest, bird -egg shells and similar mementos of childhood expeditions tend to ac crue in any lad's trouser pocket, and, unless raided by Mamma, are carefully stowed away in boxes or bureau drawers. 1 ; . 7 Girls soon reveal the magpie instinct, "too. Their closets, old candy boxes,' bureau tops, what-not shelves and hope chests become caches for an amazing hoard of preoous trivialities. They tenderly Keep crept: paper nut uw birthday parties, valentines from the second srade on. the Halloween mass: the boy next door r wore, hair ribbon scraps of materials from favorite dresses, the first love's boy scout badge er rhool letter, movie ticket stubs and the ' dried-up corsage worn to the first formal dance.' thances are the first xrutrimcmial rift will came when he wonders aloud why she wants to save 11 those old love letters and dance programs, or she states firmly that there isn't room in the apartment for all of his autographed pictures of football stars, his first bat arid glove, and his beetle collection. v . I ' jr . The outcome of this debate is most auspicious- : ly the mutual decision to begin gathering keep sakes together. They become a team, dedicated to the pursuit of bootless booty, and, especially on trips and vacations, this normal and likable couple joins the light-fingered gentry with an avid desire for tokens of remembrance. ' Some take a fancy to matchbox covers or menus. Others affect restaurant napkins or ash trays. Some are fascinated by rocks picked up along the highway, or cuttings from famous rosegardens. Others find chips of public build ings or celebrated statuary most captivating. So, one and all, with gay abandon, they filch and despoil, glean and sack, casually pick up or sly lySmuggle away cherished tons of useless junk. THir ttir- and cellars, xnantlepieces or book shelves, scrap books or knick-knack holders be come crowded cribs and bunkers and museums 1 of worthless rubble. -t And how proudly they show it off if they -can remember what it is and where it came from. "This is a piece of marble from the Wash ington monument, I think," .they say. Or a splin ter of wood from the spreading chestnut tree by the village smithy or from the lone Cyprus of Monterey. Or a fragment of Japanese shell from Guam or a piece of the Remageri bridge, or a cannon ball rustled in a . visit to Gettysburg or a button from a Revolutionary war uniform purloined in the Tempe Wicke house. The collection of souvenirs is the special fac ulty' of so many of us that we are practically a nation of frank and open artful dodgers. That's why we have our doubts about this atomic re search worker, this Sanford Lawrence Simons the FBI has charged with illegal possession of fissionable material. . ! There's nothing unusual about a loyal Amer ican keeping a bullet issued at Fort Lewis in World War IL or salvaging and saving a piece of monel metal from the shipyard, or keeping a scrap of aluminum from the airplane factory on dresser as a keepsake. But when this Simons claims he carried off some plutonium in a glass vial from the atom bomb laboratory at Los Al amos as a souvenir, and then buried It under his house, we have to frown. That alibi just doesn't ring true, somehow.1 Whoever heard of a sou venir hunter deliberately hiding the bath towel he swiped from the Ritz-Waldorf hotel? Heck, he hangs it over his bathtub, of course! Wharton toGvil Service Commission The appointment of Wallace S. Wharton -as member of the : civil service commission will bring to the commission a man with a thorough knowledge of state government and understand ing and sympathy with the protective features ' return to state service in an important capacity. J. N. Chambers who retires does so out of his own desire to be relieved of the duties of the office which with him included also the chair manship of the commission. He has been on the fnTWTwi-rfATi since it was organized and deserves a great deal of credit for its successful function ing. He can take a great deal of pride'in the part he has played in the organization and operation of tht important division of state government. I Acheson on Korea Critics of Secretary of State Dean Acheson charge that he virtually gave Korea to the Rus sians, and they dte as evidence his speech last January before the National Press club in Wash ington. ; , ', . ' '"' ' " .'' ' ' At that time Acheson said, "America's de fense perimeter in the Pacific runs along the Aleutians to Japan and then goes to the Ryukyus and down to the Philippines." , This sentence is widely quoted as an indica tion to Moscow that the United States did not . include Korea among the Pacific areas we would defend, as we would naturally defend Alaska or Hawaii. It was interpreted as meaning that the U. S.' state department considered Korea militarily expendable. But Acheson did not stop there. He went on v to say: "So tar as the military security of other areas in the Pacific is concerned, it must be clear that ' no person can guarantee these areas against military attack. Should such an attack occur, . the initial reliance must be on the people at tacked to resist it, and then upon the commit ments of the entire civilized world under the charter of the United Nations, which so far has not proved a weak reed to lean on by any peo ple who are determined to protect their inde pendence against outside aggression.' . That is exactly what has happened. South Korea was attacked by North Korea, and at first the South Koreans had to bear the brunt of the aggression. Then, because the free nations of the world are committed under the U.N. charter to resist aggression, the United Nations led by the United States came to the aid of the South Koreans. ' ", . The fundamental consideration In the Ameri can decision to enter the war in Korea was not and is not Korea's debatable strategic import ance as a military base.- The arguments about 'Korea's military expendability are extraneous. The primary consideration is the 'moral com mitment of the United States to support a gov ernment we helped set up, and to help stop ag gression against an independence democratic nation. ;But Acheson's enemies are not sticking to fundamentals, and are not impressed by the facts in his defense. Their dislike and distrust , df the man is intense and emotional. They op pose his ideas and policies without regard to their merit but with regard only to their author ship. This is the tragic situation which may eventually force Acheson's resignation his sa crifice on the altar of expediency. Ey Cesry McLemore STOCKHOLM.

Maybe managers of athletic and sports events will find that after an initial drop-off, attendance will be stimulated by TV for sub sequent games.

He estimated the tax would bring in an extra $3,500,000,000.

Students of both language and polities at Lake Success are studying the word of Soviet del egate Jakob Malik in an effort to determine whether he is ac tually threaten- lag -general gp-:,T,-J war.- ti. Twice during this month of his security t council - presi- ? dency the Soviet delegate has ' made state- znents which sound very much that way.) On August 3l he said regard- ing Korea that "the security council and the United Nations face a choice between two paths: the path of peace and the path " of war" Tuesday he seemed to go even farther. Continuation of the war in Korea (Instead ef ending it on Russian terms) he said, "would Inevitably lead, to a broadening of the conflict.'' Slate department experts In the. Russian language immedi ately began studying the words of their context. . .. Sir Gladwyn Jebb ef the Unit ed Kingdom didnt wait. He start ed quoting1 chaptsr and. verse fm communist texts to show LAt when the Soviet speaks most mo-t actively for war. : Malik has been doing a lot of talk about that, " too, clalrnlng that Russia's policy is one of peace while everyone else Is heading down the war road, , Jebb pulled the book. He quot ed from volume two of the of ficial Soviet history of diplo macy about the "concealment of predatory ends behind noble principles," and "the exploitation of (the idea) of disarmament and pacifist propaganda for one's own purposes ' Jebb quoted the communist minister of defense in Hungary as saying on April 12 that true pacifism had to be wiped out among party members before it could be wiped out among the ma sim. - : - - . e ; . e y " ; - Jebb reminded Malik of Stal .

It is very difficult, in many cases, to tell from an English . translation what a Russian means. Because Russians do not think like Englishmen and Amer icans,' and their words do not mean tie same.
