Show The Chopping Block PROVO, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1950 Christmas TimeKorean War Anniversary are steadily pushing their frontiers forward. ' To them it is not moral strength but weakness and decadence that makes us extol human dignity, the brotherhood of man, universal peace and cooperation among all peoples. They seize upon each show of good will as a golden opportunity to advance the widening boundaries of hate and distrust. The noblest of human purposes are twisted and distorted to serve the inhuman aims of the totalitarian. Yet they, have found that to destroy Christian morality and religion even in wholly under the Communist yoke is not an easy thing. In Russia itself, millions still go to church. Millions, too, still follow moral patterns in their private lives which Don't Believe It! Drafting Students The public man's most useful possession is a thick skin, which will keep him imperturbable amid attacks just and unjust. For the private citizen in these days a most valuable attribute is skepticism about rumors. Plenty of rumors are flying about, and there will be more. Tales will be told that the losses in Korea are several times greater than those revealed, or that persons high up in our military organization are Communist tools. There are rumors of the kind which in 1940 helped fill the roads of France and Holland with refugees, blocking the armies which would have defended them. Rumors were then the weapons of Hitler, as now they are of Stalin. Rumors and their cousin, slander, baselessly alleging treason in the innermost governmental circles, have weakened national unity in a time of crisis, have discouraged our friends and encouraged our enemies. If you hear a rumor, pin the speaker down. "Where did you hear that? From whom? If you read it, just where did you read it? Are you sure exactly what the radio man or the magazine writer said?" If your informant cannot answer these questions positively, assume that the story is not true. Whether it is a wilful lie or a mistaken idea is not the issue. Don't believe it until it is proved. Selective service officials are facing a problem as to which students may be excused at least temporarily from the draft. Whether the deferment should be granted for high grades, for the kind of course taken, or for! other less obvious reasons is cause for discussion and investigation. While some officials believe that those in the top halves of their classes should be excused, others point to the fact that Gen' erals Pattern and Eisenhower were never in this group. Formerly a scientific career was considered important enough to cause deferment, but nowadays equal importance is placed upon history and the law. Col. Chandle'r Cobb, director of selective service in New York City, favors conferences with parents and "teachers to determine deferment material. The fact that it is presumably from these students that our future leaders will be drawn makes the decisions of the draft officials of great importance. Almost superhuman wisdom is required to decide whether the nation would be better served by an individual in a uniform or in a classroom, and which would more increase the young man's promise of future usefulness. re-gia- Woshington Merry-go-Rou- ns anti-hum- Music for Your Christmas Enjoyment ' an The campiis cutie who wins the popularity contest stands a pretty good chance of becoming decidedly unpopular among nd great struggle between two conflicting ideologies-- ' every country Is drawn in, v one way or an- - ?

The blueprint has cause hot dissension in Republican ranks and so far Senator Taft has emerged as its chief advocate. This column has obtained the text of the confidential chart for Republican noncooperation, which contains this significant and concluding paragraph: "Superficially the president's proposal (for a national emergency) is a question of patriotism in the crisis all must close ranks. Fundamentally far more may be involved. It is more than likely that the United States is now entering upon a struggle where its survival may be in question. The question of loyalty may go far beyond that of individual citizens. There may arise the question of the untrustworthiness of the executive branch itself. "In such a crisis, congress might be the scene of a last-ditstruggle for the preservation of the nation. Such a contingency should be borne in mind in considering any association with a declaration of national emergency, drawn to the president's prescription." ch TAFT LASHES OUT j The Republican policy plan was prepared Dec. 12, just as Mr. Truman summoned GOP leaders to the White House to discuss his forthcoming y speech. At that conference Taft spoke up as the chief opponent of Republican-Democratic cooperation, though he finally agreed to go along. The following week, during GOP caucus on Secretary Ache-so- n, the closed-dohowever, the Ohio senator lashed out in scathing language against bipartisan cooperation. "I do not want any more of this consulting with the administration, he told colleagues. "I see no reason to consult as long as Harry Truman is in the White House. Our duty as Republicans is to criticize." The confidential memo on which Taft bases this policy a policy which, if adopted by all Republicans, may cause President Truman to y revise his strategy was written by George H. E. Smith, secretary and staff director of the GOP policy committee. Its essential portions follow: national-emergenc- or national-emergenc- TRUMAN'S REAL PURPOSE "It is apparent from a quick examination of the executive powers now vested in the president . , . that a new declaration of national emergency has little to add to his authority. "The real reason for his proposal seems to lie elsewhere. ' "Undoubtedly the president is getting, ready to take sharp action on price and wage control, further credit control, requisition and allocation of scarce raw materials, possible requisition of industrial plants and facilities necessary to carry put defense production, curtailment of producof tion of civilian goods, possible labor, and other steps to place the country on a semi-w- ar footing. "It may be also that he wants broader authority to carry out economic and other arrangements with Canada, Great Britain and other oun tries. "The purpose therefore of a new declaration of emergency Would be largely psychological: "1. By such a dramatic act to impress the public with the seriousness of the present situation to the end that strong public support is generated as atn enforcement procedure behind any drastic moves to mobilize and control the economy. "2. To prepare the foundation for the quick acceptance by congress of administration future requests for appropriations, legislation, and presidential manipulation of domestic programs, such as curtailment of nonessential public works, and arbitrary disposition of existing appropriations for foreign or domestic operations. "3. To silence congressional and other criticism relating to the national predicament in foreign policy and domestic activities of the administration. "4. And positively, to put behind the present administration in the eyes of the public, the strength of something approaching a 'coalition' government in which the minority shares responsibility for operations and events along with the majority. : SHOULD GOP COOPERATE "Serious questions of policy are involved . . . 1. Ever since 1933, the Republican party hag stood out against broad grants of power to the executive, against centralization of power in the federal government. "Would any identification with a declaration of national emergency now compromise the Republican position; and would such a develop--me- nt be in the- national interest? "Would Republican endorsement, express or implied, of a declaration of national emergency result in the president's taking more steps in foreign policy and domestic affairs than he otherwise would? "2. An endorsement by leaders of the congress, especially by leaders of the political opposition in congress, may well tend to obscure, if not eliminate the issue of legal basis for a particular presidential action. "3. Are there any possible undisclosed international IOU's or other executive commitments which depend Ion further authority in the form, of a declaration of national emergency to carry out? (For example, have we the full facts of the Truman-Attl- e understandings? "4. If the declaration of national emergency is to alert the country to support of the national effort, query: What is this effort? What are the administration's aims? What goals in foreign policy is the emergency designed to meet? "5. Is this a national emergency to end all national emerencies by keeping the country in an indefinite state of executive control? (Marshall has recently stated that the emergency is likely to continue 'for an indefinite time.') "6. Another contingency suggests careful consideration. tMahy of our citizens are convinced that the administration can no longer be trusted. This feeling rests upon a long series of action and incidents antedating Korea. Examples: Ever growing power of the executive and arbitrary use of same; increasing secrecy in the conduct of executive affalra; equivocation and concealment In questions of loyalty and Communist infiltration; failure to give clear information about military expenditures over the past five years; and the conduct of the China policy."
