AT ALL— A few dsy i ago— June 25— the Korean war wai one year old Today after a year of fighting Communism in battle the questloni uppermost In the minds of most Americans la what are the chances for world peace? Is World War III nearer or more remote? A great many unknown factors and ‘ifs' arise with such questions But there is a growing belief in the world today that a general war Is more remote than a year ago This reasoning is based mainly upon two points: (1) The free nations of the world are growing stronger every day in deeds as well as words it will 2) the free world has demonstrated resist aggression There is one fact that none of the free nations of the world Is over looking There is the possibility In the face of the west's growing strength that the Soviet Union realizes it must act soon if at all To wait would only give the west time to grow so strong that victory for Communism would be an imposslbiliy The Korean war seems to have accomplished several things It brought to life the west's lagging plans to marshal military political and economic resources to meet future aggression And these moves may have served a to as deterrent ambitious aggressors TEXAS TOUR— Gen Douglas MacArthur flew to Texas for a number of official receptions and speeches For three days he preached his doctrine of a realistic approach to far east problems He went so far in a Dallas speech as to say “it is fantastically unrealistic to refuse to accept the fact that we are at war— a bitter savage and costly war But the colorful general who has caused more controversy in a few months than many prominent figures do in a lifetime departed from his main theme to take a slap at the domestic policies of the Truman administration “There are those who seek to make the burden of taxation so great and the progressive increases so alarming that the spirit of adventure tireless energy and masterful initiative which built the material strength of the nation shall become stultified and inert” he said “There are those who seek to make all men servants of the state" The departure from the main theme of his speeches since he returned to the United States increased speculation that the general may be planning a political career despite his assertion he is not Interested in entering politics The Texas visit has been called a test for future political moves - (The second of two articles) One hundred years ago the Associa Men’s Christian Young tion known familiarly to four gen erations of Americans as the "Y" was founded In the U S to fight vice and delinquency degradation in the cities Now in planning its next century the YMCA is going to move Into small towns and rural areas - STfiGESCREEMl By INEZ GERHARD but Columbia EVERYBODY plans for Rita Hayher home studio is just waitworth ing for her to report for work With a large part of the American public of her agog to see her because much romance publicized they could put her into a dramatization of the alphabet and make millions Van Upp has completed Virginia two stories for Rita and it is ru mored that Metro wants to bQrrow her for “The Merry Widow” What would really make the customers storm the box offices would be a re- - GRAIN FOR INDIA— The long delayed grain for India bill lending India 5190000000 on easy terms to buy to to 2000000 tons of US wheat and other basic foodstuffs was signed Into law by President Truman The bill was subject to months of heavy debate In congress before It was finally passed Critics argued that India’s opposition to some US policies in Korea made her an ill deserving beneficiary Backers said it had a humanitarian purpose and besides it would help line up India with the western world as opposed to the Communist bloc In the months of debate many forgot the fact that the food purchased by the loan will prevent famine in India It was the only humane thing this nation could do t The YMCA began aiding servicemen during the Civil War when Y called “Christians” workers by followed both armies the soldiers to serve decently cooked hot meals and insist help tend the wounded on the humane treatment of prisoners of war In tbe Spanish Amer lean War they Introduced doughnuts and coffee to soldiers At one battle they arrived with their ra tions some three bouts ahead of the troops!
