If he la right In Ma thinking, we'll wuid up fighting on the ground and In the Jungle and will keep on fighting on the ground and In the Jungle fintll we either lick the other fellow decisively or take a licking ourselves. Let's have a look at another opinion of the erlsia that la shap ing up In Indochina. The opinion la that of Secretary of Defense Wl. son, who hsa Just returned from tour of Southeast Asia, In which he talked to people of all kinds. Addressing the graduates of the University of Bouth Carolina (which la celebrating this year Its l&oth anniversary) he saya that a third world war la not the an. awer lo the problem of slopping communism's spread. You can't knock out false Ideal with bullets, he asaerted. He added: "raise Weaa rnuat Woounlered and destroyed with the TRUTH with aupcrlor Ideal and with sound philosophy," Those are Interesting statements In themselves. Coming from the able civilian head of our war-making machine the department of defense Includes our army, our navy and our air force they are doubly challenging. Let's take a look at them in the light of re cent hlntary. In World War I we destroyed WITH BULLETS a false Oermaa Idea fostered by saber-rattling AMuer rvuncim. What did It get us? IT OOT US HITLER. In World War II we destroyed AOAIN WITH BULLETS a false German Idea fostered by Hitler and hla nans. What did that get us? It got us Stalin and communist ,Russ!a. , . There la the myth ofi Cadmus, son of the king of Phoenecla, who , among lesser achievements Is credited with having Introduced-the alphabet Into Greece. Legend has It Uiat having slain the dragon wnicn guarded tne fountain 01 Dlrco in Boeoetla he sowed Its teeth. Whereupon armed men, springing up from the sown teeth of the dragon, surrounded Cadmus and would have killed him but for his quick wit. He threw among them a precious stone, and In striving for It they killed each oth er oil. . In both of our, world wars, we hove sown the dragon's teeth. I think It's about time for us to try something else. Truck Blows Up In Crowded City CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.
