outlook on life.
The new phone books are out
and the only two beefs that have
come to our ears so far are the
ones about their being primed out
of town instead of here and the
baffled lady who opened hers to
find that it started with the L's
instead of the A's.
As to the first I Imagine it was
contracted out to the lowest bidder
and as such is merely a good bus
iness practice. As to the second I
was a little slow on the uptake.
If the lady is still willing to
trade for a perfectly good book
twhich I already have) instead of
turning her book in. I'll make a
deal. I think I can find a few uses
for it. For example:
The friend who suffers from
round-wire-itis when he visits your
home and suddenly is come all
over with a nostalgic urge to call
old George. Give him the fouled up
book and watch him sweat. (Of
course this has Its dangers, too.
wnen ne can t find the local num
ber he'll call Dickie in Honolulu.
Or the befuidled gentleman who
comes into the office and asks for
a phone directory merely as an
excuse to wedge his two-bits worth
of conversation into the partv. A
book like that should either hurt
his feelings or leave him groggy.
And the early pages will always
come in handy for pen-wipers. Peo
ple tear 'em out anyway, so we
might as well start with the L's as
the A's. . .
Any way you look at It I con
sider that book to be a curio that
should be guarded carefully. If
you still have it won't you bring
it over? I'll gladly toss in a new
book and a small extra favor of
some kind in return.

store. That's the vehicle, but it's
only as good as the advertiser's
use of it.
The newspaper is distinct from
other forms of communication and
of sales appeal.
As a frier,! of ours, now in the
radio business, put it: When you
think of a newspaper you think of
the front page; you think of news,
and you also think of advertising
as going along in parallel as an
other public service neither one
of which is directly and immed
iately dependent on the other.
Mews ultimately is dependent on
advertising in that it provides the
means of maintaining an organiza
tion to do the job we've been talk
ing about. Advertising is depend
ent on news in that it creates the
kind of advertising vehicle we've
been talking about.
So. you can't have advertising
recognition without recognizee its
foremost vehicle, anymore than the
Heinz man could talk about adver
tizing without going clear back to
the laws of the universe at work
in a foot of good earth.

of her back.
"When I saw I wasn't going to

She started to drive to her hus

NEW YORK i.Ti The Dresent
French-Arab tension in Tunisia
must bring back wry memories
these days to thousands of Ameri
can veterans.
For Just nine years aeo this week
the U.S. Armys Second Corps was
learning a bitter lesson in the art
of warfare in the Battle of Kas-
serine Gap.
Their teachers were the combat
hardened warriors of Field Mar
shal Rommel's famed Afrika
Korps. Pursued more than 1.000
miles across the sands from Libya
by Montgomery s tenacious "Des
ert Rats," the Nazi commanders
were hungry for gas and other
supplies. -They
decided to eet them from
the Americans, spread thinly along
tne rigm nan of the Tunisian Cor
ridor. Their hope was to crash the
Yank line, roil their panzers nortn
to Constantino, a big Allied base,
and wrap up the British Second
Army en route. With no enemy at
his back. Rommel could then turn
his freshly-supplied armor around
and deal again with his old foe,
Montgomery.
ALIKE
The break-through plan was al
most exactly the same as that em
ployed later in the war by the Naz
is in their daring, hopeless gamble
In the Battle of the Belgian Bulge.
And it failed for the same reason
in neither case did the Germans
quite reach our supply bases.
But it looked like an easy touch
In those early Tunisian days. The
Americans were outgunned, out
numbered and relatively untried by
battle.
Leisurely the Nazis massed and

Faid Pass from its French Infan
try defenders. This gave them an
opening down into the plains. Fear
ful that this was only a diversion
ary action, and that the Germans
would make their man drive
through a pass farther north, the
Allied Command refused to let the
Americans group and throw all its
force in a single unified counter-'
attack. I
The American units therefore
went into action one at a time,
and were simply chopped to pieces
or forced to fall back in the face
of the superior weight of the wheel-1
Nobody Crowds Chuck as He
Washes Away
Br DOUGLAS LARSEN
PUSAN, Korea uT The lean,
bearded soldier known as Chuck
shuffled into the shower room to
get cleaned up to go home on ro
tation. The room was bare wood with
a concrete floor and not very pri
vate. But the soldier treated his
surrroundings like a man entering
a temple to commune with the
Dlety.
He turned on both faucets, then
tested them with his palms.
"Oh God," he sighed. "That's
good."
Slowly Chuck moved under the
water and you could see him re
lax as the hot needle spray be
gan' driving the caked dirt out of
his body.

I remember standing with Ernie
Pyle on the second day of the buttle
on a field redolent of almond blos
soms shaken from the trees by the
blasting guns. As far forward as
the eye could see the area was
littering with the hulks of burning
American tanks, and we fell like
crying.
There were men In those tanks
we had come to know as friends
in a few short weeks, and they
were dead now m a strangle
against hopeless odds. It seemed
like a great waste of human brav
ery then. And, looking back now,
I guess I still fee) 'hat way.
That night combat command "B"
of the First Armored Division, u
tremendous fighting outfit, held
back the Germans at Sbeitla, once
a Roman outpost, while our trucks
in relays carried back our sup
plies. Those that couldn't be re
moved were put to the torch, and
the flames flickered about the old
Roman ruins, ghostly in the black
night.
DEFEAT AID
This great stand helped defeat
the Nazis. They went on through
Kasserlne Gap, driving the Amer
icans back 40 miles. But the pan
zers never reached the gas dumps
for which they were thirsting. Brit
ish tanks and artillery trundled
down to support the hard-pressed
Yanks, and baffled by this new
strength at Thala Pass, Rommel
pulled back.
It was Hie beuinnliie of the end
for his Afrika Korps. one of the
great armies of history. The bat
tered American force was taken
over by two new generals George
Patton and Omar Bradley and
they began to build it into a mighty
army.
Where are all these- men now",
the green soldiers who fought so
well in the dry wadis and rockv
djebels of Tunisia? Ernie Pyle Is
dead, and the men he wrote "about
are scattered widely.
Nothing exists of that battle now.
except old metal rusting in the
timeless sands, and the memories
of men who shared loyalty and
I danger there. Was It all only nine
short years ago, or a century?
Nothing is as temporary as an

Grime of War
he was wearing an almost beatific
expression, eyes closed, lips drawn
wide in a happy smile.
It was as If the whole mystery
of life were being revealed to him
and what he saw was Infinitely
sweet.
His first movement was to turn
his back to the shower so that the
main stream was hitting the nape
of his neck. He held this position
for another five minutes, still smil
ing, hands at his sides.
Then he began to rotate his head
ever so slowly. This played the
steaming stream all over the top
of his head and shoulders. With
what was obviously an effort, he
commenced to massage his scalp
with his fingers.
Opening one eye, he took a piece
of soap and began to lather his
scalp all with a motion so languid
you'd never guess Chuck was a

By Jimmy Hatlo
'lhe public debate over Senator
McCarthy's charges of communism
in government will rntie on. It is
fitting that the pros and cons be
argued vlKOrously und openly.
But there Is no place In this give-and-take
for threats of punitive ac
tion against any who huvo entered
the iray.
Last fall Time magazine pub
lished an article generally critical
of McCarthy and the methods he
has used in developing his chiiigcs.
Apparently McCarthy wrote to
complain of what he said were
false statements in the story.
More recently the senator draft
ed a letter to Times editor in
chief. Henry R. Luce, reminding
him that the magazine had not
"corrected a single one of the false
statements."
McCarthy went on to Inform Luce
that If no action were taken he
intended to put his case before
"all of your advertisers."
"As you of course know," suld
McCarthy In his letter. "I am pre
paring material on Time maga
zine to furnish all of your adver
tisers so they may be fully aware
of the type of publication which
they are supporting."
There Is no Intent here to argue
the accuracy of Time's story.
There Is only the purpose to de
fend Time's right to report the Is
sue as it sees it. without fear that
stern punishment will be - visited
upon the magazine for clltlclzing
the senator.
An avowed plan to Influence the
i magazine's advertisers Is plainly
a program to cripple Time through
curtailment of Its revenues. This
is an attempt to silence a nation
wide news organ on an Issue of
paramount Importance.
Successful Intimidation ' would
clearly constitute an Infringement
of press freedqm. one of the ele
mental liberties of the American
people.
When honest criticism by the
; Prcss Is stilled. Hie wholo stnic-
ture of democratic freedom is im
periled.
Indeed, the atmosphere may
fairly be described as unhealthy
when even threats to Intimidate
the press can be delivered with
Impunity.
For If we do not take alarm
when so basic a liberty as this
Is challenged, when shall we?
Whether or not McCarthy's com
plaints against the magazine are
warranted, in this nation the reme
dy cannot lie in action which. If
successful, would strike a hard
blow at the liberties we arc strug
gling to preserve.
