Most Democrats, to a Republican, are skunks. Most Republicans, to a Democrat, are animals of the same stripe Heres a story that was told at the Cache county Republic an reorganization convention Saturday afternoon: A Republican was trying to hitch a ride. (The inference was that the political trough has been mighty lean for ReRay Nelson publicans of late.) It was his car and as the ing hard. A man Republican gratefully began to enter, the motorist asked: To which party do you belong? Im a Republican" with considerable pride. Youll walk, then, said the motorist. g As the GOPer resumed his thumb-wavin- g, he thought: If Im going to get a ride, I'd better change politics. It seems that the folks around here are all Democrats." So, w'hen the next guy stopped, and the question as to party affiliation was asked, the Republican responded promptly with: Llm a Democrat, sir. Come in and ride, fellow Democrat. i Ski rain-stopp- ed 1 hitch-hikin- 1 it it The two drove for a few minutes, and then passed a watermelon patch. The motorist stopped, backed up, looked around to see if the cost were clear, and then suggested to his rider: Get out and pick us a melon. The obeyed. As he returned to the car with a fine melon he had a grin on his face. What are you laughing at? his benefactor ask-e- d. Stalcn Relents I.ater, however, this hostility changed as a result of two laetois. hast, Russiu began to win. But more immediate and perhaps more important, Et.ilin made some slitewd moves to appease Russian or pnvate trader opinion. A soi t of Nepmnn period was inaugurated during which the Russian people weie given fiedoms they never enjoyed bfoi e. L aders were selected for ability rather than party affiliation. A modified foim of capitalism was permitted in stores and on farms. Collective farmers were permitted to sell part of their crops on the market instead of turning over everything to the state. And the government even winked at farmers u ho enlarged their own personal garden plots. This resulted in much better feeling toward the Communist regime, and, coupled with victories, it btought the governniiit and people closer together. Isolation Returns A few months after the war, however, this was rudely shattered. The old system of tight Communist controls was reinstated with a vengence. The change took place shortly after the decision not to let American troops and soldiers from the Red army intermingle and about the time Stalin and Molotov had begun allied leaders at the Potsdam and San Francisco conferences. Apparently, the Kremlin has made up its mind that Russia not only must remain isolated but that sh must begin an aggressive campaign to spread Communist In the rest of the world. At any rate, there followed a series of repressive measures, a purge of intellectuals and a gigantic propaganda campaign to isolate Russia from the west. Intellectuals were even purged not for what they said and wrote against Communism but for what they failed to say and write for Communism. Coupled with these repressive measures, the Kremlin has given the Russian people more consumer goods and tried to improve their economic Status. This has helped, but not enough. There still remains widespread resentment against the regime, which has come near breaking into open revolt in such places as the Ukraine. In addition, the transportation and distribution systems are so poor that temporary deprivation and even starvation have resulted in big cities because shipment of foods did not arrive on time. Furthermore, seme of the ablest Russian executives have been purged because they were not orthodox Communists, and this has slowed up governmental Soviet Seething Nntellite Stati The above situation inside Russia, however, Is reported to be mild compared with the political seething which exists inside Hungary, Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia. Morris Ernst, the New York attorney who flew to Vienna to try to defend Robert Vogeler, reports that this area is burning with unrest and ripe for a skillful American propaganda drive. It was this unrest, of course, which finally divorced Yugoslavia from the Russian fold, and it is this unrest which is probably the root cause of the Vogeler-Ehipko- v trials in Hungary and Bulgaria in order to make an example of anyone who dares be sympathetic with Americans. Today the state depaitments Voice of America Is doing a competent job of beaming American ideas into Europe. And the fact that the Russians have taken such pams lo jam the Voice s that it is having some impact. However, our propaganda organization has been handicapped by lack of funds plus the fact that the state department is inhibited in certain operations merely because it is the state department. The oldest agency in government, and one which is entrusted with keeping our foreign relations on in even keel, naturally skunks fiom some of liie maginative, forthright operations put across by Zm.

"That story is all right, but I doubt if any Republican would change into a Democrat no matter how hard it was raining. Your Tastes A lot of our Republicans think the British election results boost their own stock for next Novembers balloting in this country. They see a worldwide trend to the Right. There may well be some substance to this notion. But there are some matters the Republican ought Lo review before they start getting too confident. In the first place, as has been pointed out many times, the welfare state wasnt at issue in Britain. Nor was the socialism that has already been put into effect. The Conservatives accept all that the Labor Party has achieved up to now under these headings. They do not promise not to do any more socializing. But on the other hand they pledge themselves to expand some welfare programs, particularly housing. All this places the Conservatives well to the left of the most extreme leftists among President Trumans Democratic followers. And it stamps them unmistakably as a party. So the British trend is hardly what U. S. Republicans may like to think it is. It may be well for them to remember too, that Labor3 share of the total British vote dropped less than 2 per cent as compared with Republicans have been the wisdom of the majority of changes but other insist this gives hedged the Republican. What is it? Well, I was just amused, is all. Here Ive been a Democrat only 15 minutes and Im already torn for some time now over Some leaders have accepted wrought by .the Democrats, the voters no real choice. Britain has now contributed to the GOP debate. Tor the Conservatives, embracing the bulk of their opponents established programs, have bounced back within a short five years to a level almost even with Labor, By contrast, Republicans in this country, confused about where to take their stand, have been kept out of the White House for nearly 18 straight years. And interlude, theyve been except for the brief 1916-4- 8 denied control of Congress for as long. The British result doesnt prove that the worm finally turns for an opposition party merely content to oppose and wait. The Conservatives ouick recovery is rooted in the grasp of social and political realities. If the GOP can understand this lesson and act upon it, the British balloting may indeed have helped the partys cause in the 1950 campaign. But if the Republicans insist on interpreting the outcome as assurance theyve been right all along, theyll be deluding themselves with false comforts. And November will bring another rude awakening. Character Will Tell Secretary of State Acheson has made a commendable statement to Congress on his attitude toward Alger Hies, former State Department employe who was convicted of perjury last month. Achesons original statement after Hiss trial was clear enough to those who troubled to read it. He specifically declined to comment on the question of Hiss guilt or innocence, since an appeal was and is pending in the courts. - He said, however, that he could not turn his backon Hiss, who had been a personal friend. By this he meant that as an individual, as a Christian, he felt bound to treat his friend with compassion at the moment of his deep trouble. To speak out thus was courageous, for Acheson must have known his remarks would be turned to suggest he was defending Hiss. Thats exactly what happened, which is why he humbled himself to expla:n to a committee in Congress that he did not mean by his words to condone the offense charged against Hiss. It's too bad Acheson had to discuss Hiss at all, but his peronal tics made that inevitable. That being so. he has handled himself as one would expect. For he is a man of character and high moral integrity. Upon Mac! IVE BEEN the type. I bow to the will of others. Consequently I have dyspepsia. It all comes from being forced to eat food that everyone else likes except me. All of my life I have been asked to take a little taste of something that someone else has mixed up to his own liking. The funny thing is I know what they mean. ALWAYS wishy-wash- y FOR INSTANCE I like grits with good old rat cheese melted on top of it and it has been whispered around my home that I force this concoction down the throats of even New England guests (who have never heard of hominy grits with or without rat cheese). On the other hand, I have had things forced down my throat simply because a relative, friend or enemy has said, Have a taste of this the way I have doctored it up. At the moment we have a house guest who likes Worcestershire sauce and mashed potatoes and insists that I take nibbles of it so that I will acquire his gourmets taste for this particular dish. It seems to me that a guest is going just a little bit his too far when he force-feed- s host. The first person who Insisted that I take a bite of what he liked was by father. He happened to be crazy about carrots. Ive always considered carrots inferior fare for rabbits, much less for men. But Poppa made me eat them. I can hear him now: "Henry, have just a bite of this. I would say, Poppa, I dont like carrots." Poppa would say, "But jou do. So The emcee had a story of his own. American with a Scandinavian accent is speaking. (We shant try the accent): This nation had George Washington, who couldnt tell a lie. Much later it had Roosevelt, who told nothing but lies. Now we have Harry, who doesn't know the difference.

And even if a relative took me in like, say. Uncle Orville, what do you think I'd get for lunch carrots. NOW THAT I AM a grown man I eat only what I like. If I choose squirrel ears with redeye gravy thats for me. Weighing one hundred and seventy pounds and healthy I eat onlv what I want to eat. If I elect to eat a dictionary with Sauce Bernaise I dont think any man on earth has a right to question my taste. MY VIRTUES ARE few. Venus de Milo can name them on either hand. But one virtue I have I don't try to force food down someone elses throat. The fac that I like end tables in wine does not mean everybody else likes end tables In wine so why should they ent them? Incidentally. if you would like to hae my recipe for end tables here it is: Take a four or five pound end table and marinate it overnight in a mixture composed of postage stamp collections (I ha em) and a sauce made of old mech-bo- x rovers. Take an a and split the end tahles into splinteis and cook them unt well done over a low flame, a low flame supplied bv a forest fire.

That's easy. table prepared in 2:89; TIIE a. broncho-pneumoni- BECAUSE VIRUS a, PNEUMO- NIA does not follow the usual patterns either as to symptoms or effects it is also called atypical pneumonia, meaning mot typical. Virus pneumonia invariably follows a preliminary rispiratory infection conforming to the flu type if it develops at all. The initial "flu symptoms may vary from those comm'.a to CDI (the common cold) accompanied by fatigue malaise, (indisposition lethargy lack of the sense of ), to fiverishness, pains in the back and extermities, headache, racking cough and prostration. well-being- o VIRUS PNEUMONIA may be suspected when one has CRI from which he does not readily recover. The cold which hangs on, is another way of expressing it. (It must be remembered that lobar pneumonia may also conform to this pattern, occasionally). Severe virus pneumonia may produce symptoms of ordinary pneumonia in the first few days, but the sins that the doctor finds upon examination are not those of ordinary pneumonia. o EXAMINATION Y Is us- ually necessary to establish the diagnosis. It is often surprising how much involvement of the y will reveal, lungs the when the ordinary signs and symptoms are comparatively slight. Thus, it is not unusual for a person to walk around, day after day, under the impression that he is merely having a little difficulty in throwing off a cold, to find,' upon examination that he has an extensive pneumonia. This has happened to victims of lobar pneumonia as well, but it must be conceded that they are much sicker persons throughout. Although cough and rispiratory irritation in general are common to virus pneumonia, these are usually secondary in annoyance to the washed-ou- t feeling the utter lack of energy and disinclination to effort which characterizes most cases. In ordinary pneumonia, fever, cough and respiratory difficulty are more prominent, usually confining the victim to bed on his' own X-r- Virus pneumonia, 13:910 D The law upon which individuals and groups and nations break themselves when they become egocentric is this: Whosoever will save his life shall lose it concentrate yourself on yourself, and that self will go to pieces, not only spiritually, but mentally and physically. The reason for this is obvious. The three driving urges or instincts within us are self, sex, and the herd, or social instinct. The self instinct is obviously the herd instinct is the sex instinct is partly and partly So there are just two driving instincts the egotistic and the altruistic, the and the Both of these must be fulfilled and fulfilled m the proper proportion or life will be frustrated and unhappy. There are those who think that Christianity teaches that they must love others, but not themselves. This is a mistake. Christianity teaches self-hu"Thou shalt loe thy neighbor as thyself. If jou did not love yourself, you would not develop yourself. So all attempts to eliminate the self end in hjprocrtsy and disaster. If you put your self out of the door, it will come back through the window, probably in disguise. Frankly and honestly you must hue yourself not as a master, but as a servant; for the self is a glorious servant, but a gruesome noisier. Those who loe others and not themselves, allow ing others to sap the life out of them, end in disaster. On the other hand, if one organizes life around himself and becomes then, as sure as tate, disaster overtakes that self. Does Gd pronounce judgment from heaven upon that life? No; by the very inherent laws within one the judgment takes place. The person ir at war with Himself. His altruistic instinct is frustrated and undeveloped; hence the person is dissatisfied and happy. He piohably doesn't know what is the matter wi'h him. The malady is simple he is a house divided against itself, and lienee cannot stand. Every person is trying the impossible to liv against himseif.
