' lury CoIIcko thin morning, nitya
our thinking mid talking about
national defense Inn been con.
limed by dlacusnlona of whit hn
om I Is auper weapon.
He explained that when the poa
slbllltlrs of new weupona were
welKhed mntlculoualy by military
and civilian leadera It became crys
lal clear Hint we can not rely safe
ly on any ONK aystcm of weapon
or on any BINOLE service.
He added:
"There la no greater champion
of the air force and the navy
Uan our army. T1IXRE IB NO
EAHY WAY TO WIN WARS.
Ground fighting by army forcea
will remain the major factor In
any future war."
Tliat la to aay:
We'd better not kid ouraelvea
thai we can go Into Indochina
qUICKLY with air and naval
lurcea and gel out EASILY and
relatively painlessly whenever we
choose.
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.

WASHINGTON Rejecting
administration proposals for flex

ture Committee voted Tuesdsy to
lecommend continued farm price
atipporl at the present rigid 00
per cent of pnrlly through 1B&6.
The to prr cent level would ap
ply lo basic larm crops..
In a rebuff to Secretary of Ag
riculture Benson, who has cam
paigned for the flexible supports,
the committee voted 21-1 to write
the one-year extenalon Into the
omnibus farm bill It will present
to the House.
Parity la a price declared by
law to be fair In relation to the
prices farmers must pay tor prod
ucts they buy.
Under existing law, the flexible
system of price supports, ranging
from H to 00 per cent of parity,
goes Into effect at the end ol the
1814 crop year, for an extension
ol the present 00 per cent of parity
system, new legislation Is re
quired. Benson has said he would rec
ommend a presidential veto of the
high llxed price level.
Hie committee's flnsl vole csme
after aeveral earlier tests on oilier
price support proposals. First, the
committee voted 15-14 to accept
a proposal by Rep. Cooley (D
NC) for a three-year extenalon of
the 00 per cent high support pro
gram. Then It submitted for this an
amendment by Rep. Belcher R
Okla) which called for 00 per cent
supports next year and then a
gradual reduction by not more
than five per cent a year until
It got down to 75 per cent of parity
In 1068.
This was carried 15-M, but lost
10-0 when a proposal was made
to wrllo It Into the committee bill.
A proposal by Rep. Abernctliy
(D-Mls.1) for a permanent program
of 04 tier cent price supports on
baste crops lost by only one vow,
10-14.
Finally, the committee voted
and adopted the amendment call
ing for a one-year extenalon.
No reference was made to any
price support legislation tor the
bnslc crops beyond 1055, but the
committee will consider legislation
later for supports for non-basic
crops for 1045. The basic crops
are wheat, com, cotton, peanuts,
rice and tobacco.

They wrote to the boys:
"Trie fact that you soaked your
