Bus, who has been in the car

YOUR ATTENTION is called to a
statement of principles elsewhere
In ' this paper under the heading

Now, on the 178th anniversary
of the Declaration of Independence.
It's the need to recall that this
country was founded on principles
and has grown and prospered be
cause of Its principles.
There are now, and have been
since 1776, demagogues who have
attempted to twist and change and
get around some or these principles.
Their stories sound good and their
pretty pictures lead you on, but
If you apply the fundamental prin
ciples of America to their proposi
tions you can see them for what
they are.
The "Primer for Americans"
was conceived and developed by
Sigurd 8. Larmon, head of a great
advertising agency, a man whose
business it is to put ideas into sim
ple and forceful language.
It's good. For example, In ex
plaining that the rights of any in
dividual shall not Interfere with
those of other individuals, . he
states; "Your right to swing your

As another limiting principle, he
states that every individual owes
obedience to the laws under which
he lives. "The individual has the
right to talk against a law, to
work and vote to change that law
but NOT to disobey that law."

of the principles of America is that
each person Is of Importance and

That's the first difference between
America and most other countries
the importance of each person

NEW YORK Ml There is a
big boom now in old firearms
and some rifles are literally worth
their weight in gold.
"Firearm values have gone up
fantastically," said John T. Am
ber of Chicago, editor of "The
Gun Digest.".
"There are over 600,000 weapon
collectors In America. The num
ber has grown tremendously since
the war."
Amber, a former reporter who
became one of the nation's top
hunters and riflemen, has a col
lection himself of some 76 pistols
and 600 rifles.
What rifle could be worth Its
weight in gold? It Is a specially
marked Winchester 1873 model,
sometimes called "The rifle that
won the west."
"Some 700,000 of these rifles
were sold, and an ordinary one

Mrs. v.
A This condition Is an Inflam

those who have acuta attacks of
such Inflammation do recover com

The earnestness with which kids

life as a collector Is that he once
had one of these rifles himself,
but 15 vear aro mM it far tin
before its vslue and rarity were
juiuwn.
Bargains the beginning collector
should beware of, he said, are
"the pair ot pistols supposedly
used in the Hamilton-Burr duel,
and guns that once belonged to
Jesse James or Wild Bill Hickock.
"If ' all the guns supposed to
have been owned by Jesse James
were, genuine, he hsd an arsenal
bigger than the entire U. 8. cav
alry." . ,
Amber doubts the ' legendary
tales of the shooting skill of some
of the old time Western guntlght
ers, such aa Hickock and Billy
The Kid.
"As a matter of fact, they didn't
have to be a particularly good
shot." he said, "because their tar
get was man-size, and usually not
more than IS to 30 feet away.
"I doubt if any of the oldtlme
gunmen could equal Ed McOtv
ern, who used to be a peace offi
cer In Montana.
"McOivern could toss dimes In
the air, draw his gun and hit them
(00 times in a row. Speed? He
could draw his gun and put five
bullets in a playing card at 16
feet in three-fifths of a second.
"Of course, there's a big dif
ference In shooting at a playing
card and at a man with a gun
firing back at you."
Amber estimates there are more
than SO million firearms of all
kinds In America, and says that,
contrary to the general belief,
comparatively few of the thou
sands of guns brought home by
ex-servicemen have been used in
holdups.
"Kids would be better off
and there would be fewer acci
dents," he said, "If they were
taught to use firearms properly.
They probably will have to use
guns some time In life anyway,
and they ought to know the right
way.
"In the last few years the Na
tional Rifle Assn., which has 360,
000 members, has trained a mil
lion teen-agera in the use of a
rifle and never had a single

WASHINGTON IH Dr. J. Rob
ert Oppenhelmer will bear until
he die as II he wore It as a
mark on Ms forehead the gov
ernment verdict that he Is a secur
ity risk who cannot be trusted with
his - country's secrets.
An ordinary man, brushed aside
like this, might disappear Into oo-
scurlty. The 60-yonr-old Oppen
helmer never can. He is a genius.
He Is among the top live or six
theoretical physicists ol the world.
He directed the making of a war
time A-bomb. He Is head of the
Institute tor Advanced Study at
Princeton, N.J. He ' Is known to
scientists everywhere. Working
with them and exchanging Ideas
with them has been his life. He
can hardly begin another.
It was almost 13 months ago
July 7. 1953 that Lewis L. Strauss.
who only three days before had
become chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC). or
dered a re-examlnatlon to deter
mine - whether the government
should continue to trust Oppen-
neimsr with some of Its most vital
secrets.
In December Strausa Informed
Oppenhelmer the reply was no. It
wasn't final, oppenhelmer could
ask, and did, lor a hearing before
a special board set up by the
AEC.
Oppenhelmer testified as did
dozens of others. Most of the wit
nesses said he was trustworthy.
A few said he wasn't. The board
decided he was loyal but not a
man to be trusted with secrets and
reviewed his story.
He had been a fellow traveler
He had Communist friends. He at
tended meetings with them. He was
engaged to one woman who was
a Communist and married another
who had been. His brother sno
sister-in-law were Communists for
a time.
All that was before he went to
work on the atomic bomb. After
that one of his old friends, Haakon
Chevalier, tried to up him lor In
formation for the Communists and
was turned down. Oppenhelmer de
layed telling the government about
this, then lied about It, later told
the truth. He continued his friend
ship with Chevalier, visited with
him as late aa last December.
Oppenhelmer appealed to the full
live-man AEC. Yesterday II upheld
the previous verdict: he was a
security risk. The vote was 4-1.
The one commissioner who did not
consider Oppenhelmer a security
risk was Dr. Henry D. Smyth.
The majority of the AEC did not
suggest, and there was no evidence
ot any kind to show it, that Oppen
helmer ever gave any government
secrets away.
Smyth stressed this: ' . . . The
most Important evidence In this
regard Is the tact that there la no
indication in the entire record that
Dr. Oppenhelmer has ever di
vulged any secret information."
This, among other reasons given
by Smyth as a defense for Oppen
helmer, may trouble many fair-
minded men who read the rec
ord and ask themselves what they
would have done If they had been
sitting in Judgment on Oppen
helmer.
Yet this particular point hardly
bears examination In this case. If
there was any evidence that Op
penhelmer had given away secrets
there would havebeen no doubt
he was a security risk and he
wouldn't be a problem tor the AEC
then. His case would be before a
grand Jury.
The majority of the commission
decided Oppenhelmer was a se
curity risk because of "defects In
his character" thev pointed to
his lying and to his association
with communists, not before he
was entrusted with secrets, but aft
erwards.
If the long opinion of the ma
jority could be summed un In a
few sentences, this would be It:
When a man Is entrusted with
high secrets, which may affect the
nation's welfare, he Is given high
responsibility, He is considered ca
pable of living ud to that resnon.
slblllty or he wouldn't be given

There are clear rules laid down
by which his responsibility, or
sense of responsibility, can be
