Indian Wars
By KEN McLEOD
Our history books hava made
much of the so-called Indian wars
of the past because from the earl
lest times of the occupation of the
new land of America conflict did
rise between the white man and
the Indian. In these early times
that witnessed the birth of our na
tion, a great Indian leader, occa.
aionally agitated for war to check
the advance of the frontier, these
outbreaks against the advancing
culture of the white man resulted
in a degree of systematic raids
against the frontier front. In every
case when the Army took a hand
the Indian lost the war. but usual,
ly he extracted more blood from
the whites than he gave up. This
fact held true from the first to the
last, with a few exceptions perhaps
when we consider the ruthless
hand of the conquistadore.
One point that history books-
mention but seldom make clear
in the class room in a convincing
fashion is the fact that France,
England and Spain were Intermit
tently at war over the possession
of the new country and that some
of the Indian wars we read about
were only fringes to these Euro
pean wars. Most Indian tribes In
the Ohio and Great lakes region
were urged to support the banner
of France and moved to burn and
murder on the English frontier.
This type of Indian warfare was
not one sided, however, since the
Iroauois usually favored the Eng.
lish, so Indians fought on both
sides, which meant that they
fought each other because their
white friends were at war. mis
factor remained true down to the
' very last of Indian conflicts, as
we note even in tne case oi tne
Modoc War when Warm Spring In-
dians assisted the U.S. Army sup.
massing the Modoc.
Back in the early days of our
nation even when France and Eng.
land were temporarily at peace
the French encouraged the Indians
to raid the English settlements.
. After England took over Canada,
some of the stronger Indian tribes
raided and burned English settle
ments out of sympathy for the
French; the wars of the frontier
were not so easily stopped as they
were in the white man's homeland
of Europe where the signing of a
piece of paper, with pompous cer
emony in a royal court, determined
the settlement of t iispute. Later,
the English of Canada encouraged
the Indians to raid tne rebellious
Colonists, and. after independence,
further to harass the frontier in
the United States. These few ele
ments that add a dramatic touch to
the warfare of the frontier call at
tention to the- intricate way In
which the life of the Indian be
came lntermeshed with the Ameri
can frontier and the large part he
played in shaping the American
way or life.
The Indian has not been merely
the villain of this human drama
though his methods at times may
have been shocking enough, rather
he was a friendly competitor witn
whom our ancestors were some
times at war. His way of making
war was original and non-Euro-
pean surprise, raiding, massa
cre and scalping. It does not sound
nice these days, but then, is war
nice? Look at our civilization to
day, we hear on every hand that in
the future the wars of civilized peo
ples are to be from the air, most
ly by raids to burn, mutilate, kill
and spread terror, with no regard
for age, sex or condition! The wars
of civilization apparently nave no;
progressed beyond the wars of the
frontier, they nave merely im-
' proved upon them. Today, our cit
ies must follow ine ieaa oi uie In
dian village of pre-hlstoric time
and ever be on the alert.
New Employers
By HAL BOYLE
JERSEY CITY, N. J. Many
an old - time industrial leader
thought he did a workman a favor
by keeping him on the payroll.
This breed of boss is rapidly
vanishing from the American
scene. He is being replaced by
executives who recognize that em
ploye loyalty Is a keystone in any
successful business if It is to en
dure. A leading spokesman of the
"happy shop" principle in industry
loaay is r ranK u. AiKinson.
Atkinson, whose weak eyes
forced him to give up his dream
of becoming a professional base
ball player, took a $4 a week Job
at 15 with the Joseph Dixon Cruci
ble Co. here. Now at 57 he heads
the firm, one of the nation's larg
est manufacturers of pencils, cru
cibles and industrial graphite
paints.
During his steady rise from of.
flee boy to president, Atkinson.
who comes from a long line of
Methodist ministers, developed a
convtctlcn that the golden rule
was as important in industry as it
was in religious life.
"Business is people," he said
"The dignity of the individual work
er is important. But applying the
golden rule isn't merely good bust
ness. It's the only way to live."
Atkinson takes it almost as a
personal blow when any of his
1.000-odO employes quit, ana lew
do.
"One of the greatest loss factors
borne by industry today is trace
able to a nign rate in personnel
turnover," he said. "A manage
ment which does not realize that
will not succeed."
But how can a management
avoid losing its skilled employes
and escape the expense of training
new ones?
Atkinson feels It should pay
wages "as high as the business
will stand," schedule the work so
as to avoid layoffs. Install profit
sharing programs and pension,
medical and and insurance plans.
"But above all and I know the
value of a buck," he continued.

"there Is much mora to keeping
people than Just the amount you
pay them or the extra benefits
they get. They have to be recog
nized, to feel that they themselves
are essential to the success of the
business.
"Before we go outside to bring
someone in to fill an important
post, we look over everyone on
the payroll to fee if we can't find
one who can be advanced within
the organization.
We encourage our people to
study and prepare for a better Job.
We sometimes even pay their tui
tion." The incentive program seems to
have paid off. The 129-year-old
firm has never had a strike. When
outside interests threatened to get
financial control oi the company
several years ago the employes
bought stock themselves and pre
vented it. !
"About 40 per cent of the em
ployes now own stock," Atkinson
said. "We think that's a good
thing, but we don't campaign for
it."
Atkinson feels opportunity has
never been greater in industry,
that it has never been easier to
get good business training. But it
worries him that many young men
today prefer the security of a safe
Job with seniority to the risks,
challenges and rewards of man
agement. "That ought to knock the spirit
out of their heads," he said. "It
isn't the American idea merely to
look for something safe and easy.
"Business isn't work. It's a base
ball game. Maybe we ought to find
another word for hard work.
"Nothing you're really interested
in is work. What is happiness any-i
way? When you become so inter
ested in your Job you are uncon
scious of the passing of time, you
are truly happy."
Iled Treaty
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON 1 The Rus
sians' treaty of friendship offer to
the United States rejected by
President Elsenhower is a pretty
clear propaganda try at turning
the tables.
The Russians suffered psycho
logical and propaganda damage
when they rejected Elsenhower's
sensational "open skies" proposal.
It took them six months to think
of an equally dramatic way to get
even.
At Geneva in July Eisenhower
suggested the United States and
Russia agree to aerial inspection
oi eacn otners countries as a
necessary step toward disarma
ment and protection against sur
prise attack by either.
With this proposal Eisenhower
put the United States in the posi
tion of taking the initiative for
peace. World reaction was good
Men everywhere could visualize it:
airplanes taking pictures from the
sky.
The proposal had the appeal
which propagandists must dream
about: a simple idea easily
grasped. And it was bold. Upon
examination it was not so simple.
It has never been clear whether
Eisenhower's plan had been care.
fully thought out or was pulled
from his hat on the spur of the
moment. And he did not say
whether the demand included
America's overseas bases, which
the Russians might want to watch
more thoroughly than anything in
side this country.
And it still is not known whether
Congress ever would have ap
proved it, since Eisenhower's plan
would let Russian planes poke
around inside this country. But
there was never any need to get
into a deep examination.
The Russians had a choice, to
be made fairly fast, of saying yes
or no. It was almost certain they
would say no. since their whole
regime is based on concealment.
They said no. The no did not make
them look good.
Then last week the Russians
came up with the friendship treaty
plan, knowing Elsenhower could
not go for it.
It would, from the words used
by Premier Bulganin, force the
United States into agreeing to an
endless Russian grip on the satel
lites; drive a wedge between the
United States and Its allies; and
create an illusion of peace when
there was no peace.
Elsenhower replied that II the
Russians really want peace, they
can prove It by deeds, such as
the unification of Germany and
the freeing of the satellites. The
Russians can get propaganda mile
age out of Eisenhower's no when
they broadcast their offer and his
rejection. The millions who can't
read or who never see a Western
paper giving Eisenhower's reasons
will be told only that the President
refused the offer of a treaty of
friendship.
Eisenhower and Bulganin no
doubt were highly conscious of
what world reaction would be
Elsenhower's aerial inspection and
Bulganin's treaty of friendship.
Neither rejected the other's offer
with the word no but their answers
were nevertheless a rejection.
Eden, Ike
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (Pi British Prime
Minister Eden's arrival today to
talk over world policies with Pres
ident Eisenhower may shed some
light on three of the puzzles wor
rying American businessmen:
1. The talk about Russia s plan
ning economic warfare in world
markets, and all the new trade
and political problems that could
spawn.
2. The olive branch- Russia has
just extended with its other band.
and all the economic uncertain
ties that could bring, on the off
chance the branch has real leaves.
3. The dispute over more Amer
ican aid to friendly nations, and
all the turmoil that Inspires
among politicians. American ex.
porters and importers, and Amer
ican taxpayers.
Until recently talk about Russian
plans for economic warfare have
been poo-poohed. There is still
great doubt about her ability to
make good.
But American businessmen are
paving a little more attention now
because of two things: 1. Russia
has been making tempting offers
to Far Eastern nations. She has
made barter deals In the Middle
East, trading excess military
equipment for cotton and the like.
She has been wooing Latin Amer
ica where United States is so
strong with offers she may or
may not be able to fulfill.
2. Russia has recently announced
a new live-year plan with stress
on the production of heavy in
dustry which makes goods the
military can use, but also goods
that could be exported if that
serves the Soviet world plan
better. .
At present Russia's industrial
production capacity is believed to
be less than half aa great as that
of the United States. Her 1955 steel
production, for example, is thought
to have been 45 million metric
tons. That is about 49 million
American tons of 2,000 pounds
each. American mills turned out
a record 117 million tons last year.
But the disturbing fact is that
since the war Russla s industrial
output has increased at a notable
rate. She is still way behind the
United States but she appears to
be closing the gap a little.
In other fields, especially In nu
clear energy, her plans call for
pulling much closer to the Ameri
can potential.
Her schools and colleges stress
the training of engineers and
scientists one of the raw ma
terials' of industrial progress.

NIXON BUILD-UP
Backers of Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon are getting ready
to "Humanize " mm in a Dig orive
to build him up as- a presidential
possibility. Or as the sold logical
choice for a second vice presiden
tial term if Mr. Elsenhower chooses
to run. Nixon men want to bring
him more into the public eye as
a personality In his own right.
Washington reports that the build
up calls for more speeches, more
public appearances of all sorts.
BELIEVES IT'LL BE IKE
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York is telling close associates he
would bet that President Eisen
hower will run again.
BRITISH BID
Britain is determined to get in
on those big orders American com
panies are getting for commercial
jet air liners. London believes the
bid will be dramatized soon. It re
ports that one of Britain's new
accident proofed" Comet liners
may set down somewhere around
New York City after a spectacular
unannounced non-stop hop from
London. A Comet made a tryout
flight from Montreal to London last
month. London doesn t sav any
thing about the refusal of New
York air fields to permit Jet liner
landings because they are so noisy.
ANDERSON - STRAUSS
Washington says the feud be
tween Senator Clinton P. Ander
son, chairman of the Congressional
Atomic Energy Committee, and
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the
Atomic Energy Commission will
get real hot before this session of
Congress ends. They both dislike
and distrust each other, Washing
ton reports.
' ANOTHER FEUD ALSO
Some Washington Insiders say
President. Eisenhower may have to
step in to settle a cold war between
the State and Agriculture depart
ments. The Issue is the increasing
ly serious problem of disposing of
farm surpluses. "State" fears
there will he trouble with both al
lies and neutrals if "Agriculture"
dumps Its surpluses overseas, as
It plans. The dumping would hit
the food exports of other countries.
State says, and Russia might
profit.
CONCERT BY MORNARD?
Mexico City believi-s the world
may soon know the real inside
story of the assassination of Bol
shevik leader Leon Trotsky In 1940.
"Jacques Mornard." the mystery
man who killed Trotsky, is serv
ing a 20-year sentence. He wants
parole. He s just been turned
down again. Mexican officials say
ne'll stay In jail until he talks. So
far, they don't even ,know his real
name, much less his motive. They
do know that Trotsky was Josef
Stalin's enemy No. 1. They want
Mornard's full story and believe
he may "sing" soon.

Coffee Ileaclion
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
Mrs. H. asks what the effects
would be of drinking three or four
cups of coffee around 7 In the
morning and another two cups at
breakfast, around t or 10.
Before embarking on a discus
sion of the effects of coffee In
general. It may be said that this
is quite a lot of coffee to drink
so close together but the effects
will vary from person to person.
Some people seem to get away
with this amount without any ap
parent harm and in others so
much seems definitely undesirable.
The active drug in coffee is
known as caffeine. The usual cup
of strong coffee contains enough
caffeine to produce a definite drug
effect, though possibly it Is some
what lessened by the fact that In
coffee the caffeine is combined
with some other substances. Cof
fee, therefore, acts as a stimulant
which Increases temporarily men
tal and physical energy, and acts
to some extent to relieve mental
and muscular fatigue. Many peo
ple drink coffee also for its com
forting and relaxing effect.
Caffeine as a drug is well known
as a brain stimulant. It is used
sometimes to combat some of the
harmful effects of acute poisoning
with morphine or other depressing
drugs.
It stimulates breathing and is
used by doctors for this purpose in
certain cases of asthma and other
disorders of breathing.
Caffeine acts also on the heart
and the blood vessels. It tends to
dilate some of the blood vessels
so that more blood may flow
through and it is a direct heart
stimulant leading towards main
taining the blood pressure or even
raising it somewhat.
Another effect of caffeine is to
stimulate the formation of urine.
Caffeine and its chemical rela
tives have therefore been used for
a long time to Increase urinary
flow when that was desirable.
Likewise, ordinary doses of caf
feine act directly on most of the
muscles causing them to contract
more powerfully and to become
tired less easily. These are the
principal actions of the drug caf
feine, although it affects to a lesser
degree many other functions of the
body.
Coffee (or other liquids contain
ing caffeine) usually produce little
or no harm if consumption is
moderate. Unfortunately, nervous
people are the ones most likely to
drink too much and it is in them
that injury from caffeine Is most
likely.
When susceptible people do drink
too much of a caffeine-containing
beverage, they may become ex
cessively nervous, develop pound
ing of their hearts, headache,
sleeplessness, trembling, and di
gestive disturbances. Generally,
such unpleasant symptoms can be
quickly abolished by cutting down
or eliminating the amount taken.
