Tuesday, February 7, 1958 Foreign Statement Overlooked nnoymg Russians in EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Policy Mostly US, Undersecretary Jabs at Sore Spot Found by President By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent . I Washington (U.R) Lost in the week end news shuffle was a foreign policy statement that mpmmiMwjjm. the State De- Lyle C. Wilson partment rated as a block buster. Some news papers in this part of the United States passed it up al together or printed a few u n distinguish How To Get Yourself Disliked (Editor's note: During the 30 years Jimmy Hatlo has been drawing "They'll Do It Every Time," he has been deluged by readers with ex amples of man's inhumanity to man, which makes him, whether he likes it or not. an authority on the subject. With a tip of the Hatlo hat to his contributors, the artist and author has drawn on this rich background for this series of six articles, spot lighting the pests who annoy the most people from coast to coast.) ed paragraphs back there next to the patent medicine ads, if any. You may be sure, however, that the text is in the Kremlin by now and is winning annoyed frowns among the foreign com missariat. ' The policy statement was made last Saturday in Berlin by Herbert Hoover Jr., under secretary of state. The occasion was the 10th anniversary of Berlin's American radio station, RIAS, which ceaselessly directs a blasting stream of freedom facts through the Iron Curtain. Rias' listeners are the captive peoples of Europe especial ly the East Germans whose captivity is approaching a sor rowful 10th anniversary this year. Hoover's assignment was to hit the Soviet leaders where it Is known to hurt. The sore spot was abundantly located last Christmas after President Eisen hower sent a message to the people of eastern Europe, de ploring and rejecting in the name of freedom their captiv ity. The Kremlin's response was instant and angry. Twice Since Christmas Mr. Eisenhower has repeated that effective maneuver twice since Christmas. Hoover was sent to repeat and underscore' U.S. ideas on the subject iri a half-free city which is about as near the Kremlin as a free man dare speak his mind. You might say he was rubbing Rus sian noses in the rug, like a pup py's guilty of a hearthside mis demeanor. ': , ; - It is a fact as well known in Washington as in Moscow that the freedom surge without which the captives may never be lib erated must have solid founda tions and great impulse within the captive states. The United States, the free nations "and the hopeful captives have put their trust in the moral integrity of the world, to undo what the West holds to be a great wrong. Mor al force and propaganda are the prescription. "It is a force," said Hoover, "which my country, in combin ation with other free nations, is dedicated to strengthening. - u is a torce tnat sprmgs from the unlimited resources of freedom and common purpose. Free world strength . . . is fun damentally the collective power of spiritual, moral and intellect ual values based on political lib erty and the recognition of the individual rights of free men. Hope of Mankind "Moral force is the unbreak able bond between captive peo ples and the peoples of the free world. It is beyond the reach of imperialism and tyranny. It . cannot be contained by barbed wire or border guards. Deep within it lies the hope of all mankind for peace, justice and freedom." But Hoover did not rule out physical force. He reminded that there is vast difference be- By JIMMY HATLO . It has been said that every national culture produces its own type of pests. This I don't believe. Some , types are goons in any language. So it is with our type for today: the Cheap skate. , I'm convinced that there ' is no walk in life, any place in the world, where the cheapskate doesn t abound. , For instance, do you happen to own a deep freeze? You do? Now let me make a guess about something. I'll guess that during two, periods of the year you have a hard time finding room m that freezer to put the stuff you buy. Right? No, don't tell me, I'll tell you; those two periods are the spring and the fall. And the reason there's no room for your stuff is that some of your free-loading friends have it stuff ed with their fish during the fishing season, and their game during the hunting season. And how much of this provender ever turns up on your family platter? Haw! I'm being silly again. : ' Cheapies Plague Merchant The poor guy with the corner stationery store is plagued by the cheapies who come in, buy an El Nickelo cigar, ' and then act as if they've bought library privileges at the magazine racks. A few visits from these leeches who, for some reason, always seem to have gummy fingers, and the guy's magazine stock looks as if it had been used for bedding at a dog show. But you should hear 'em on the rare oc casions when ' they come in to buy a ten-cent book. It's gotta be spotless, or else! You'd think a farmer, 'way out there in the country, might be safe from this type of creep. But just ask one. You'll find that they drive 40 miles out in the country to get to him. Hap pens like this: Car door opens. Crustwell J. Bashin steps out, followed by a sheepish-looking hound. "Hi, Zeke," the fellow says. "Just got me a new dog. Would you mind if I gave him a little workout on your place?" "Nope," says good-hearted and unsuspecting Zeke. " "Go right ahead.". . Battle of Bunker Hill A week later a cavalcade of cars stops by Zeke's place. About 20 hunters pile out, and tear into the field Zeke has just fin ished sowing with winter wheat. "It's okay, fellers," bawls Bash in. "Good ol' Zeke said it was okay last week." Next thing Zeke knows, it sounds as if the battle of Bunker Hill is being fought all over again. Such cows as are lucky enougn to escape the slaughter are terrified into complete milklessness. The poul try flock decides that Chicken Little was right about the sky falling down, and takes off for the tall timber, and the newly planted wheat field looks as if a herd of buffalo had used it for the annual spring meeting. The only thing Zeke can hope for is that Bashin will be one of the casualties. Then there's the "borrowing" chiseler. He is indegenous to of fices as well as homes. In a way you are lucky if .he decides to "forget" .to return whatever it was he took. That, at least, keeps him from coming back. But most of the "borrowers" keep things just long - enough for them to wear but. Then they . return them, complaining about the cheap merchandise you buy. These are the people who bor row everything from your punchbowl to your silver and then don't ask you to the party. They are always "just out of change" at the hat check stand and over a year's time probably just-out-of-change you out of $10 or $15. They're all the same. They're something-for-nothing guys, al ways ready to shoot an angle. Greedy, small- souled cheap skates. How can they like them selves? Nobody else does. Next: The Loudmouth.

And to put Kremlin policy in focus, Hoover invited his cap tive listeners to reflect on this: The Soviet Union is able to offer economic aid and techni cal assistance to the outside world only because ' of the re lentless milking and pumping dry of captive countries' re sources. "The facts of this hypocrisy," he said, "must be etched clearly on the conscience of civilized society."
