from the communists but only with quick American help.
This is the last few minutes of the eleventh hour, Maj. Gen.
Claire Chennault said, "ft American aid is not implemented
quickly, it wilt be too late."
Chennault has retired irom
the U.S. army and no longer has
any say in framing American
policy in China. But as an "old
China hand" who helped stem
the Japanese advances with his
Flying Tigers, he thinks two
things should be done immedi
ately if the Red tide is to be
halted:
1. Send a U.S. military mis
sion under Gen. Albert C. Wede-
meyer to nationalist China to
train and give technical assist
ance to uninese nationalists in
the same way another Ameri
can military mission is aiding
Greece.
2. Recruit an international
air force patterned after the old
Flying Tigers.
Chennault said a military mis
sion would require 1,000 men at
the start and twice that number
when it became fully operative.
He said it should be free of the
severe restrictions whicn nam-
strung the former Joint U.S.
military advisory group in
China.
The international air force
should include flyers of other
nationalities as well as Ameri
cans and could be recruited from
among 8,000 airmen who have
volunteered to join any revived
Flying Tiger group, Chennault
said.
He said 500 foreigners should
form the flying nucleus of the
air force. Some 2,500 Chinese
would be needed for service
units.
Chennault suggested that the I
international group act as a tac
tical air force to supplement
strategic units of the national
ist air force.
He estimated that this two
point program would cost about
$200,000,000 a year. Not only
did he doubt that it would wor
sen American-Russian relations,
but he said he thought it the
best means to prevent another
World war.
Tests Show Naughty
Child May Be Sick
Los Angeles VP) Some child
ren who seem to be "just natur
ally naughty," may actually be
ill, says Dr. Nicholas A. Bercel.
He reached this conclusion after
diagnosing brain wave patterns
of child patients at the Cedars
of Lebanon hospital here.
"Out of every hundred behav
ior disorders, brain abnormali
ties are found in about half," he
said. "Measles, whooping cough
and occasionally influenza can
produce brain inflammation
which, may manifest itself in
spells of abnormal behavior."
Dr. Bercel does his detective
work with an electroencephalo
graph, a machine which records
the tiny electrical impulses gen
erated in the brain.
As a typical example, he cited
the case of a boy who experi
enced extreme fatigue, weeping
spells and aggressive temper
tantrums. Teachers said the boy
rvas apparently bright, but he
stubbornly refused to study.
Brain diagnosis disclosed that he
was suffering from petit mal, a
form of epilepsy.
The first visitors to Yellow
stone park were not believed
when they told of the phenome
na there, according to the En
cyclopaedia Britannica.
Sproul Talks
On Communism
San Francisco, Nov. 2 W)
The struggle between commu
nism and democracy is not a
debate; it Is a war.
Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul.
president of the University of
California, emphasized this Tues
day in an address before the
general session of the Ameri
can Bankers association conven
tion.
Lashing out at advocates of
totalitarianism in any form. Dr.
Sproul declared:
"Why should our institutions
otter hospitality to those who
use a false and brutal hope to
pursuade the young and guilli-
ble to sign away their birth
right?"
American business "is having
another tremendous year in
1949,"Secretary of the Treas
ury Snyder told the convention.
The cabinet officer, address
ing the first general session,
professed no fear of the coal and
steel strike clouds in the eco
nomic sky.
Bankers from 44 states were
honored at the general session
for their service to agriculture
when their state associations re-'
ceived the ABA agricultural
commission's 1,000-point rating
awards.
Presentation of awards was
made by Charles T. O'Neill, com
mission chairman, of Charlot
tesville, Va.
O'Neill particularly cited the
Oregon Bankers association for
having received the rating for
20 consecutive years.
Oregon, first state to achieve
such a record, was presented a
special certificate.
President Truman put his sig
nature on the measure late yes
terday. He thereby tossed the
so-called Aiken law of the re
publicans' 80th congress into the
wastebasket beore it had a
chance to go into ettect.
But the new measure which
permits continuation ot larm
price supports at or near war
time levels was not necessarily
assured ot a long life span.
To the surprise of some politi
cal and larm circles, the presi
dent made no statement in con
nection with the signing.
Persons in their quarters had
expected him to use the occa
sion to say in effect that the
new law is better than the GOP
measure, but that he still want
ed the so-called Brannan plan.

A SENSE OF FAIR PLAY is
deeply rooted in Americans. In
baseball, football or any sport,
the slightest tinge of unfair
ness can ruin a team or a
player. This sense of fairness
also extends into business and
politics.
However, sometimes when
our emotions overcome our
reason, we forget to be fair.
For instance, if "Freedom
means government by consent
of the governed" any far
reaching changes, such as sug
gested in Compulsory Health
Tax Bills, these facts should be
considered:
Surveys show that the vast
majority of our people do not
want Federal control of medi
cal service, schools or church
es; the vast majority of our
Doctors want no Federalized
controls, to hamper them in
service to their patients; great
numbers of our people closely
ally their religious beliefs with
the handling of their own per
sonal health, and should cer
tainly not be compelled to
"buy" a service they would
not use.
American sense of fair play
says: Allow no minority pres
sure groups to force through
legislation that IGNORES
these facts.
