Why Not Make a Deal?
The Christian Rural Overseas Program (CROP)
has set itself a goal of 1,350 railroad carloads of
American farm products for the needy overseas. Blue
prints for the organizational phase of the coordinated
endeavor were drawn at the recent meeting of CROP
directors in Chicago.
A CROP volunteer program which has already start
ed and which supplements the carload campaign,
is the "Friendship Acres" plan. This seeks to embrace
rural youth, farm groups and farm community organ
izations and individuals who will "work at giving" by
setting aside an acre of grain, a berry patch, a calf,
pig or a setting of eggs ana
the time of maturity.
a a e
THE American churches'
there is no least intent here to criticize that work or
the spirit in which it is undertaken. But one is struck
by the lack of overall American organization which
makes such far-reaching plans necessary while mil
lions of tons of foodstuffs lie spoiling in government
caches, collected under the price support program.
The government's major alibi in the surplus stor
age mess is the cost of transportation and distribution.
Such costs, it is claimed, make it impractical to at
tempt delivering to the needy here or abroad, the
eggs, butter, wheat and corn vast stores of eatables
ranging from soup to nuts.
IF THE government finds ridding itself of the hoard
ed food would be prohibitively costly, how much
greater would be the costs entailed in setting up an
organization to reach into the outermost corners ot
the country for a setting of eggs here, some milk
there, little dribs of beans, soybeans, oats, dried fruits,
lard, flour, rice, peas, wool and peanuts?
WHY can't the government and CROP get together.
Why can't the government supply the 1,350 car
loadscomparatively speaking, a mere drop in the
bucket from its caves and warehouses, and let
CARE attend to the distribution? .
Such a deal would save CROP a vast effort in
collecting and preparing shipments and the govern
ment would get rid of a portion at least of the surplus
now deteriorating in assembling places. E.C.i .

Truman Raps VFW Protest
On Finletter Appointment
Washington. June 8 J.R
PrsiHMit Truman says all me
fuss about what organizations
man belongs to gives him "a pain
in the neck."
lie siivs he s nrobaiuy lomeu
some that he wishes he hadn't,
but he can't see that It hurt him
any.
The president let his hair
down about It in a letter to
Clyde A. Lewis, commander-in-
chief of the Veterans ot foreign
Wars.
The letter. In reply to one
written bv Lewis, was reported
to have s'et VFW officials back
on their heels.
Pain in the Neck
Lewis had objected to the
president's selection of Thomas
K. Finletter as secretary of the
air force on grounds Finletter
had been active In United World
Federalists, Inc., an organization
VFW doesn't like.
"All this howl about organi
zations a fellow belongs to gives
me a pain In the neck." the presi
dent wrote. "I'd be willing to
bet my right eye that you. your
self, and I have Joined some or
ganizations that we wish we
hadn't. It hasn't hurt me any
and I don't think It has hurt you
any."
The president aLo took (
crack at veterans' groups for
their criticism of public officials.
He said they should spend less
time tearing people down and
more time looking for their good
points.

of Irving to tear him down it
would be much more help to the

There is not a better or more

I have been in Washington he is
better equipped to be secretary

reason I appointed him."
Finletter is a former New
York lawyer who headed a
presidential commission on air
power that fathered the concept
of i 75-group air force. Prior to
his appointment as air secretary,
he was an economic cooperation

ever, there will be many parts

Plays Named
Tenth anniversary plays will
be "Henry IV, Part I," "As You
Like It," "Antony and Cleop
atra" and "Comedy of Errors."
Large casts will be required, par
ticularly for "Antony and Cleop
atra" and "As You Like It."
The latter requires IS feminine
roles.
Bowmer reports that inquiries
have come from student actors
from all parts of the nation as
the season approaches. Applica
tions have been received from
players of 13 states. Oregon,
Washington, California. Idaho,
Montana, New York, Rhode Is
land, Illinois. Pennsylvania. Mis
sissippi, Michigan, New Mexico
and Kansas.
Rehearsals To Start
Rehearsals will start immedi
ately after the June 19 tryouts.
Assisting Bowmer with festival
direction will be Richard Gra
ham. New York: Allen Fletcher,
of Purdue university, and James
Sandoe. assistant professor of li
brary science at the University
of Colorado.
The four plays will be pro
duced in repertoire, each one
five times. Players will have the
experience of performing on an
authentic Elizabethan stage
while producing Shakespeare's
works in the manner in which
he intended them to be pre
sented.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
"Senators called on the state
and defense departments today
to show what security America
is getting in return for vast out
lays (of cash) to help rearm
Western Europe."
PUT in just that way, there
can be only one truthful
answer to that question:
NONE!
You can't buy security with
money. If we have the idea that
by supplying them with guns we
can hire or bribe the people of
Western Europe into doing our
fighting for us in the event that
hot war follows the cold war,
we're in for a terrible, terrible
disappointment.
ON THE other hand, if we can
help these peoples of West
ern Europe, who are our kind of
people, to save themselves from
the creeping death of com
munism, we shall have helped
ourselves immensely. If we want
to be free, we must have a
freedom-loving world to live in.

Well, if vou could shoot at a

shot had left the muzzle of your

vou could bring home quite a

THESE jiggers are a part of
that m u c h-talked-a bout
"push-button" war, but don't
kid yourself. Push buttons or
no push buttons, there will still
be GIs with sore feet in the next
war.
IN SOUTHERN Illinois, near
Vandalia, the other night, a
kind-hearted truck driver picked
up a hitch-hiker. The hiker turn
ed out to be an escapee from
the Missouri state penitentiary.
He raid to his benefactor:
"I'll have to kill you because
I'm a fugitive from the pen, and
I need your truck and I can't
take any chances with you."
So he shot the kindly trucker
twice in the back ana Deal mm
up to boot. On top of that he
tied him to a tree Just in case
the shootings and the beating
hadn t done the lob.
Then he took the truck and
fled.
THINGS like that are getting
to be rather common.
I think I'm an average sort
of person. Every time I pass
somebody walking along the
road, I'd like to pick him up and
give him a ride because if I
were going somewhere on
Shank's ponies I'd like to have
somebody pick me up and give
me a ride. But usually I think
of some grisly case like that
one in southern Illinois, grit my
teeth, look the other way, step
on the throttle and pass him up.
It's really a heck of a note
when FEAR of what might hap
pen to you throttles your im
pulse to do a kindly deed. Every
time I .t romp down on the
treadle and roar past some pe
destrian on the highway in a
case like that, I feel ashamed of
myself for an hour.
