Anniversary of Saint and Sinner
December 21 is observed as the birthday anniversary of
two extraordinary men, Saint Thomas, the apostle of Jesus, who
helped found the Christian religion and Joseph Stalin, apostle
of the devil. One lived in the
in the 20th century.
The former helped found the religion of Christianity, and the
other did everything in his power to destroy it. What little we
know of Saint Thomas is due to tradition and legend, but what
we know of Stalin is historically verified for history. While Sta
lin was worshiped as a god he plunged the world into an organ
Ized bloody maelstrom of human destruction and slavery.
St. Thomas was known as the
not present when Jesus first appeared before the apostles after cruel-
; fixion and said "Except I shall see
J and put my finger into the print of
' His side, I will not believe," which
vinced. He said. My Lord and my
Saint Thomas, also called Didymus (signifying twin) Is said
to have been a native of Anlioch, and a step-brother of Jesus,
It fell to his lot to proselyte in India, and tradition relates with
great circumstantiality that he hesitated to travel there, until
Jesus appeared to him in a vision and ordered him to visit the
. Parthian king who ruled over Kabul Valley and the Punjab,
' and to build him a palace, which he did and converted and bap-
tized King Uonuopnares, whose

vlli, the son of a cobler, was born in Teflis, Georgia, Dec. 21,
1870, and died March 3, 1953 after a brief illness. He was wor-
! shiped in Russia as a god. His crimes are too many to narrate,
but the lengthy summing up of his long career of bloody tyran
ny was aptly and correctly summarized by his accomplice and
successor Nikita S. Khruschchev before the supreme Soviet
, congress, too well known to need repetition.

How Fast Must the South Move?
The rest of the country thinks Texans look upon themselves
', as more of an ally or assoclats of the United States than as
! merely one of Its 48 members. So wa suspect that the doclsion
: of Federal Judge William H. Atwell of Texas will be hailed by
headline writers as a reversal
decision against school segregation. Such however Is not the
case.
The 84 year old Dallas jurist Is obviously no admirer of the
highest court, for he observed that it had no actual constitu
tional provision or even a law upon which to base its decision.
But he did not say: "The Supreme Court is hereby reversed."
Rather he noted that the Supreme Court has left to the
lower courts and to the school authorities the implementing of
its decision. He concluded that the school authorities in Dallas
are trying in good faith admittedly not with any great haste
to carry out the integration mandate. Therefore lie refused
to order immediate integration, saying he was satisfied they
were proceeding properly.
The case will be appealed to a Circuit Court of Appeals and
probably from there lo the Supreme Court. It will he very in
teresting to see what these tribunals say of Judge Atwcll's deci
sion. The segregation decision of the highest court will stand.
This is certain. The question is: How much haste will be re
quired in putting it In effect?
It is quite proper for the courts to answer this question. The
unfortunate angle is that southerners who are trying lo nullify
the Supreme Court's decision will find further encouragement
for dragging their feet. School hoards should be entitled to
time to bring about this drastic change with a minimum of ill
feeling and dislocation. They are not entitled to derail it.

Salem, regardless of handicaps and discouragements, has
not been negligent of the fringe, area problem. And right now
It is more on the alert than ever.
Hie city council and the city planning commission have done
everything legally possible to maintain an orderly frince de-
volopment, and the county planning commission has done and
Is doing all it can without a helpful county zoning ordinance
which the voters have thrice, refused to approve.
The Chamber of Commerce Is alert to the siltiation and its
president, Claude Miller, by authority of his hoard of directors,
lias appointed a committee for research and investigation into
me prnuicm. it win direct its attention to each of the local
areas. And from the south Salem district, where a Salem
Heights coterie recently proposed incorporation of a separate
city will come another committee.
All of these groups will work cooperatively, although the
city and county official bodies will be in a standby status main-''he
ly to give assistance if requested.
And then there is the state legislative inlorim mmmiiim
on local government which has
problem. It will report to the l!lf,7 legislature and 'ask for
tome action on a statewide basis.
Something constructive and beneficial to growing commun

pioning it in the United Nations.
Yet, when asked at the press con
ference here on Wednesday why,
even though his government recog
nizes the little Republic of Israel,
he has not sent diplomatic repre
sentatives to that country,, he said
the situation was too serious now
to do so in view of recent events
in Kgypt. Long before the Suez
crisis, however, Nehru refused to
give full recognition to Israel.
Nehru came here well coached.
He handled his press conference
and television broadcast with the
mastery of a public relations ex
pert. These techniques are studied
in advance by foreign visitors of
prominence because it's all a form
of "brainwashing" that means
getting across some effective pro
paganda. Thus, the usual advice
given in advance is to "softsoap"
Americans by extolling Jefferson
and Lincoln and talking about the
American revolution.
That's what Sukarno of Indo
nesia did on his trip here last
spring. As soon as he got back
home he resumed the policies of
ruthless dictatorship.
Nehru and Sukarno have visited
the United States after being im
portuned to do so by some med
dling Americans and starry-eyed
diplomats of the school of thought
which believes a "giveaway" of
American money solves every
thing.
what does America get out of
these visits? A gesture of friendli
ness, to be sure, to the Asian
world and a manifestation of our
policy of the open door everybody
is welcome to come and speak his
views and those ot his country
men. But there Is really ho common
interest, geographically, commer
cially, or militarily, between the
United States and India. Even sen
timentally, relations between the
United States and India are the
same as those of America with
many other nations in the world.
There is no special position that
India occupies which would war
rant the prominence and attention
being given here this week to her
prime minister. There are far
closer tics with Britain and France
and the other peoples of Europe
and with Latin America and the
Philippines.
But, nevertheless, as long as
there are billions of dollars which
many misguided Americans
want to give away "without
strings" that is, without even as
suring America an ally in time of
war there will be pilgrimages to
this country by prominent states

Nehru's Smart,
Him a Long Time to Learn
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press Newt Analyst
WASHINGTON. W Indians
Prime Minister Nehru is an intel
lectual but, nevertheless, there
are some things he has to learn
the hard way and it seems to take
him a long time.
His visit to the United States
and his talks with President Ei
senhower may have persuaded
him at last that American foreign
policy is neither rigid nor aggres
sive and that the U. S. govern
ment's intentions are good.
If that has been the effect on
Nehru and he has given some
indication it may he the results
will have to show up later. Neither
he nor Eisenhower has revealed
what they talked about.
It may seem strange to think
that Nehru would have to talk to
Eisenhower to develop a better
feeling toward the United States,
especially after he had dealt
first-hand for years with two fine
American ambassadors, Chester
Bowies and John Sherman Coop
er, both men of good will.
But the record shows it took
Nehru a long time to learn the
facts of Indian life.
He had led a sheltered life.
Until he was 16 hi, wealthy father
hired tutors for him. Then he was
sent lo Harrow and Cambridge m
England. He stayed there until he
was 2.1.
While there he became con
scious of world affairs and made
up his mind India should win its
independence from Britain. But
he was 31 before he made his first
visit to an Indian village. When
he saw what life was really like
among his people, he had a prac
tical and earnest reason for want
ing independence and fighting for
it.
Still, it was not until he was 36
and made a second visit to Europe
that he realized that independence
without a social, political and
economic program was an invita
tion to chaos.
He returned from (hat trip a
convinced Socialist. It is Nehru
who, when India won independ
ence, took the country down the
road lo socialism which it is
following now.
It wasn t until he was about 37
that he became conscious of labor
unions and saw a need for them
inuia s ui'vciopiiiK iiiuii.'.ir.v.
All that may seem pretty slow
on the uptake for an intellectual.
But that s the way it was Nehru
has been critical of the West for
years and apparently suspicious of
the Inited Mates.
But before he left here
this
week he. said "I gathered the im
pression" from Eisenhower that
American policy is not rigid the
way he said it seemed to indicate

Florida's Enjoying a Boom
On Top of a Boom, Hal Says
By HAL
MIAMI. Fla.
on Leaves from
a sunburned notebook:
Florida today is one of the
states enjoying a boomlet on top
of the general American boom.
It is growing so fast they may
soon have to pave the Ever
glades and turn them into a park
ing lot.
You can always tell when times
are good here where every other
resident seems to be in the real
estate business, at least on a part
tim basis. The natives quit swap
ping land back and forth for
practice and get busy selling it to
new settlers.
Actually, however, they seem to
go through the tortures of the
damned when they do finally part
with a parcel of property they
have held for any length of , time
As one man put it:
"You hate to let go of some
thing when you feel that if you
just hold it for another 5 or 10
years you will get maybe triple
the present price.
Tourists are now streaming in
at the rate of 10.000 a day. and
various sources estimate that be
tween 3,000 and 4,000 new fam
ilies are settling permanently in
the state each month.
This accounts for the present
Florida version of the Oklahoma
land rush.
The phrase you hear most often
is "If I only had. . . " It ex
presses someone's regret over be
ing asleep when opportunity ham
mered on the door like thunder,
than passed on, perhaps never to
return.
This is the usual version:
"I came here 20 years ago and
waterland in the Florida Keys was
selling for two bits an acre. If
I'd only had $5,000 then and
bought up some of that acreage,
I'd be worth better than a million
bucks today."
Florida is full of millionaires,
some retired, many still active.
But for every rea 1 milionaire , it
has a dozen "memory million
aires." the men who mourn "if
I only had..."
Many of them court opportunitv
now by buying a $2 ticket on the
daily double at the racetracks
where, if they'd been right smart
20 years ago, they'd now be run
ning their own horses.
Northerners who have Ihe idea
of finding peace and plenty in
buying a small Florida fruit or
vegetable farm were warned in a

small-scale ventures.
If a man seeks independence on
five acres here, the best crop he
can plant for a quick profit seems

E. B. Millard, oldest employe
at the Ladd & Bush bank in re
spect lo service; had retired
after serving since Dec. 27, 1902.
Fellow employes had presented
Millard with a gold wrist watch.
Said he in return, "during 38
years of service this is the first
time in my recollection that em
ployees have joined together as a
unit to give such a present out
side of collections for someone
getting married or for flowers." ,
A request to conduct dog rac
ing at the 1941 state fair had
been rejected by the state board
of agriculture. The board felt
that to conduct both afternoon
and night racing would take the
fair out of the agricultural class.
On this first day .of winter 18
years ago spring-like weather
prevailed all over Oregon. Rain
had fallen in every section of the
state and nowhere did the mer
cury dip below freezing.
Two men and two women were
dead and a man, woman and
child were in hospitals seriously
injured as a consequence of a
collision near Salem between a
car and an ambulance returning
from a crash near Hazel Green.
Hannah Martin, city recorder
elect, had taken the oath of of
fice and anounced that Miss
Catherine Zorn would be her sec
retary. Alfred Mundt would re
main as deputy recorder.
Relative to "The Farm Head
ache" The Capital Journal had
editorialized: "The income certif
icate plan is too complicated for
farmers or newspaper men to
understand. Only Harvard erad-
uates and New Dealers, who nev
ed walked a plow, can fiugre It
out."
