What part does inheritance play? We have heard employers say that the younger genera tion doesn't possess the strength of character with which their elders were blessed If the employers are right then strength of character is not something a father can pass down to his son On the other hand if strong character is built up through education processes then there should be more strong character all around us in a day when there is more L schooling Our character doubtless is a product of our heredity as well as our environment including the! instruction we re ceive and the examples to which we are exposed The amount of our intelligence also is a factor People are thus made up of impoiitant ingredients of varying amounts Thus we can observe such contrasting ex amples of personality as the ship captain to whom desert ing his ship wsa unthinkable and a higlji school senior who when he became somewhat tired and cold did not hesitate to toss U S mail in the snow instead of delivering it as he was hired to do The sea captain seems surprised that people hail his behavior The high school lad seems surprised that folk an - - question his Thick Skin or Thin Skin? f Republican Congressman Clare E Hoffman of Michisan believes Republican Governor Earl Warden of California is too thin skinned to enjoy a political career "Put on a layer oi rninocerous hide" the Michigan man advises the Cali fornian y ITugofWar t On Defense State oi the Union Is Renewed Pear°n Br?T" WASHINGTON— DivWe nd rule — Traditional British policy has been to balance oi xngina aepenas to some the two strongest continental na- extent on the Churchill-Truma- n tions against each ot h er — usually conferences there will be two JIWHU Inevitagainst Germany groups of people watching the this leads to war Churchill conferences lust as in- ably Invasion of the Ruhr— Bast Illustently as the British They are: L The inside tration of how British aloofness the kremlin encourages war took place an 2 The leaders of western Eu- March 7 1830 when Hitler invadrope—the French Belgians Dutch ed the Ruhr All that day the Italians whose farms and factories have been fought over for cen- French cabinet sat telephoning to turies London asking a pledge of Both groups wiU be ish support if the French for the same reason: Towatching see if President Truman is able to win stepped into block the nazis Churchill over to European unity London refused a commitment and or whether the reverse happens with the visa!
