Dudgeon (Editor's note: This is one of a series of articles prepared by the Editor of West-er- Newspaper Union while on a 13,000 mile flight through Europe and the Near East. Purpose of thi trip was for the writer and thirteen other American jour-nalists to observe progress made in build-up of strength and integration of North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces and the efforts being made by the Europeans themselves in "The program on which the Unit-ed States is embarked in Europe must succeed, for there is no ac-ceptable alternative for our coun-try. If you are in a boat in a strong sea, you do not stop pulling your oar if the boat starts leaking; you keep on pulling, even harder." It was with these, and other equal-ly inspiring words from General Dwight D. Eisenhower in his Su-preme Headquarters, Allied Pow-ers in Europe, near Paris, France, that we began our eight-countr-y inspection trip of the major Western European countries allied with the United States against Soviet aggression. In this same initial briefing, the supreme allied commander author-ized another direct quotation, which was to register with us again and again as we talked with United States officials, and with the mili-tary and political leaders of France, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Yugoslavia, Western Germany, and the Nether-lands. first round, but we think they know that there would be fourteen more rounds to fight." War is going to be up to the Rus-sians. The Allied forces have no thought of a preventive war. General Eisenhower told us that there is absolutely no talk of such tactics, and that it was completely out of the Western concept of civilization. Strength Growing Our military strength' is growing every day, and our leaders are op-timistic about achieving military goals set for next year and the year after, and reaching their culmina-tion in 1954. Great progress has been made in the year just passed in building up the allied political or-ganization through NATO, and the military side through SHAPE. It has been through the shear willpower and inspiration of Gen-eral Eisenhower, and other mili-tary leaders, like his brilliant chief of staff. Gen. Albert M. Gruenther, that so much progress in planning the military organization at SHAPE has been made in such a short period. And, of course, on the political side, General Eisenhower, again, must be given much credit for the success of NATO to date. Every-where we went, his name was magic. Everywhere, also, people speculated on his candidacy for the 1952 United States presidential elec-tion. (Net impression of our group rufi rwihueoatyij.ravTtCio tvivroaoc uViia?iit ucnoiarlil .XmT ifiAaini-- hower will be a Republican candi-date, and that his place in the Allied military picture will be taken by another American general.) European Army One of the biggest problems facing SHAPE is the building of an integrated European army, in which century-ol- d nationalistic enemies will be fighting side by side under a common command. This problem, like others, is being met head on, and is being solved because of the great "religious" fervor which grips the allied leaders from General Eisenhower down through all echelons of command. This "religion" takes on a very definite form as you visit and listen to the military and political leaders, who are faced with the job of build-ing an organization to offset the Soviet power. This code is built on optimism that the job eventually can be done, and on an unyielding faith that it must be done. The problems of the Allies cer-tainly are not confined to military matters. The national economies of Great Britain and France, partic-ularly, are in another critical phase. The economies of all of the other countries which we visited need sup-port. In many of the countries, the facts presented to us indicated that had not the present military crisis evolved, these governments today would be But cer-tainly the military crisis is at hand, and without the flow of money and materials from the United States, there would be little hope in Europe today. There is no particular secret about the fact that should the Rus-sian choose to launch his offensive tomorrow, our military forces, and those of our allies, would be sorely pressed to do anything but give a creditable showing in strictly defen-sive tactics. "The free world vastly outnumbers the Iron Curtain countries in total resources. The essential, however, is unity. Dictatorships achieve unity by a dagger in the back; the only way in which we shall obtain unity in NATO is for each of our coun-tries to realize that its enlightened is best served by cling-ing together in this association." Can this "enlightened" unity be achieved? In an attempt to get some kind of answer to this vital international question our group of newspapermen had a pretty good look at much of what is happening in these coun-tries ringed tightly around the west-ern footlights of the Iron Curtain. Here are some of the essential im-pressions created as a result of our observations: Deployed Around TJ.S.S.R. The United States and its West-ern allies are very definitely de-ployed in a political and economic organization and in a limited mili-tary aggregation around the Rus- -' sian perimeter from Norway on one flank through Turkey on the other flank. The battle lines for defensive mili-tary tactics are drawn. Our strategy to defend the free world from Rus-sian aggression has been charted. Maps showing the deployment of the enemy forces have been compiled from a g intelligence or-ganization. What forces we have in readiness are placed where it is believed they would do the most good, should "the gong ring to-morrow". There is no feeling of false optim-ism or of bluff. Our leaders admit that we would be in serious trouble if the Soviet forces were to move tomorrow. But we are in better shape today, than we were six months or a year ago. If we aren't strong enough to hold the Russians back, why haven't they struck to date? One military leader put it this way: "We think Russia knows that if this thing, breaks, it will be a fifteen round fight.

Early morning or late evening breezes are often very cool and the light leather jacket or poplin windbreaker is good the year 'round in high country. A slicker or plastic raincoat will come in handy for sudden rain squalls. Your list of accessories besides rod, reel, line, and hip boots should include a creel, landing net, bait box spinner-and-lur- e box, leader box, split shot, snelled hooks, jack-knif- e or small hunting knife, a fishing license and directions on how to get to your fishing spot. Waders of the waist-hig- h variety are not essential for stream fishing in spring. Most bait fishing is done from shore. Lake fishing may call for waist-hig- h waders. In all cases, cultivate a healthy respect for the water. Losing your footing is no fun and the water is uncomfortably cold and often dangerously swift. A pair or two of heavy wool socks in rubber boots when fishing in the spring will cushion the foot against uneven rocks. Wool socks also keep your feet warm despite the low tem-perature of the water in which you may be wading. As a word of precaution, in the springtime it is a good ifiea to put a couple of blankets in the back of your car when starting out in the Rocky Mountains. These blankets, plus a couple of chocolate bars may prove to be if you get stuck in mud or snow. A coffee pot and a can of coffee under the back seat might be useful on such an occasion, too. Wear loose, comfortable trousers, a woolen shirt, a short fishing jack-et with plenty of pockets and a felt hat when you start fishing. Remem-ber a belt too . . . for holding up your boots. The bulge at the waist-line may sustain your trousers but the extra tug of boots may cause you embarrassment in the end! AAA The hippopotamus differs from the rhinoteros in having four instead of three toes. AAA Surprise! It was a very unhappy landing for a large flock of Canada geese which stopped for a rest in Raleigh county one night a few days before the goose season opened. The in-cident was reported to the con-servation commission by Conser-vation Officer Progresso Tocado. Instead of a placid pond, the honkers came down about 11 o'clock on the sheet metal roof of the ma-chine shop of the Winding Gulf Collieries at Riffe's Branch. Flood-lights shining on the roof was be-lieved to have attracted the geese. Hearing a commotion of thump-ing, honking and hissing on the roof, Nightwatchman E. E. Rine-hea- rt at first was startled. Then, realizing what was happening, he rushed outside amidst floundering geese and flapping wings, and turned off the lights. Soon the thumps on the roof stopped and Rineheart turned the lights back on. All but six of the geese prompt-ly took off. The six appeared dazed and some were bloody but all but one soon staggered up and made takeoffs. The remaining one, still stunned, was captured. By morn-ing he had recovered his equilib-rium and Rineheart carried him home and placed him in a chick-en coop. Tocado was notified, came and examined the goose and found both wings apparently in working condition. Carrying the honker to the 600-ac- lake at Flat Top, the officer placed him in the water to recuperate. Returning to the lake two days later to check on his patient, Tocado found the latter apparently had resumed his south-ward flight. AAA The bald eagle was adoped as our national emblem by the Congress on June 20, 1782. AAA Hard to Beat A good split bamboo fly rod is a thing of beauty and personality. When you hold it in your hand it seems to say to you. "Let's go fishing!" It asks for a place on your team, and promises an eager participation that helps you cap-ture all the fun there is in fishing. The best rods are made from selected hard Tonkin cane, split with the gTain, heat-treate- d and straightened, milled to a mathe-matically eorrect- taper accurate to 11000 inch, and glued into the six-str- sections that make up the complete rod. These rds are sensitive as a bear's sere nose, powerful as an archer's bow. AAA Good Dry Flies Dry flies, as their name indicates are tied so they will float. They rausl be tied on light hooks and have hackle that is stiff and glossy. One must pay a good price for really good dry flies, for they rre expen-sive. If one wants the best and nothing else should do one must pay more, but results will more than compensate for the outlay. Poorly-tie- d dry flies won't float properly and. consequently, won't catch as many fish as those properly tied. - . --L' SPORTLIGHT , Shoeless Joe Always Good Coptf Bv GRANTLAND RICE NEW YORK No other game has turned out as many odd or different characters as baseball has fur-nished.

Joe batted "I decided to copy Jackson," Ruth told me one day, "because he looked more like a good hit-ter than anyore else. I couldn't copy Ty Cobb's hand action be-cause Ty was looking more for basehits than for power.

He never had much trouble with anybody." Jackson and Money Shoeless Joe was never a big spender, but no man was more underpaid.

Everyone said so. They were re-sponsible for his success as a real estate agent. He always said what he thought, regardless of the con-- I I sequences. He Minute ST-- S If Fiction But he always ' ' kept his word. That's why people tolerated him. And now he'd fallen in love with Audrey Gardner. Audrey was a mama's girl. She depended on her mother for everything. It was al-ways: "Yes, mama." "Of course, mother, dear." "Well, if you think it's best, mama." It got under Sam's skin. A yes-ma- n or a denoted a weak character, a spine-less, shallow individuality. But he had to take it and like it if he was going to have Audrey. He wanted Audrey. That's why he swallowed and suppressed. Secretly he was disgusted with himself for doing so. After the wedding they went to live in a cottage close by where Audrey's mother lived. Audrey's mother came over every day. She made suggestions; she issued com-mands. The dining room should be done in blue, the living room furni-ture was atrocious, the bedrooms were cold and barren. Everything should be changed. It was. Sam ground his teeth and said nothing. And when he tried to sell a building lot to a bridal couple they weren't very impressed. They grunt-ed and stalled and said: "Hum. Well, we'll talk it over." And went home. Sam was wild. He'd never let a prospect walk out on him like that. It happened a second time and Be threw her hat, parasol and handbag out the door after her. a third. It began to look as if Sam's business were going to pot. Three months passed. Sam's bus!- -' ness was on the brink of disaster. He had not sold a single piece of property since his marriage. He began to wish that he didn't love Audrey, that he could stop loving her. " HE returned home one evening to find that Mrs. Gardener had spent the afternoon with Audrey. She had come over for a purpose. The purpose was to rearrange and do over the small room off the liv-ing room Sam used for an office and study. Every other room in the house reflected the personality and ideas of Audrey's mother. The study had been left until last. Sam stood on the threshold and stared. His desk had been moved. Papers which he had left on top of it were swept into the waste basket. Pink drapes hung from the windows. The wall was decorated with a pic-ture of a cherub. There as a floor lamp with pinkish frills hanging from its shade. Slowly, then more rapidly a fierce anger mounted in Sam. Sane reason-ing fled from his brain. He whirled. His eyes fell on the triumphant, pompous countenance of Mrs. Gardener. He raised a trem-bling forefinger and pointed it at her nose. "Get out!" he said, his voice like a threatening wind sweep-ing down from the mountains and growing ever louder, "Get out before I break your domi-neering neck!" Mrs. Gardener gasped. She start-ed to speak. "Get out!" roared Sam. "Get out! Do you hear?" Apparently Mrs. Gardener heard. She gasped again, but made no ef-fort to speak. Instead, her eyes wide with apprehension, she backed to-ward the door and disappeared, for-getting her hat, parasol and hand-bag. These items, however, ver-too- k her as she was sprinting down the walk. Sam banged shut the door and leaned against it, breathing heavily. Slowly, very slowly the significance of what he had done struck home. He had lost Audrey (and he loved her) but there was a warm glow f satisfaction inside of him. Audrey stood in front of him. Au-drey said: "Well, my goodness, it's about time you showed a little gumption, j had begun to think I'd married a freak. I mean, a man without a spine!" The next week Sam sold five house lots.

GRASSROOTS Nostalgic Recollections of Old Rural General Stores By Wright A. Patterson i YESTERDAY I visited a store, as opportunity of-fers, that carried me back to boy-hood days in an Iowa village, in every detail it was the old type gen-eral store in which I spent my pennies in those long ago boyhood days. And the store keeper --they were storekeepers, not merchants, were prepared to supply every hu-man need from the cradle to the grave. Somewhere In their stock, they did not always know just where, were diapers, soothing syrup, paregoric, colic "cure". There were high chairs and trundle beds. On one shelf were "patent medicines," guaran-teed to cure every 111 of man or animal to which flesh is heir. In a shed at the back was kero-sene, axle grease and paints for home er barn. Included in that stock were coffins in which the people of the community would be buried. Veritably every hu man need from the cradle to the grave. The stock of that Iowa general store in which I, as a sniall boy, was specially interested was its stock of penny landies. I still recall how patiently that store' keeper served me when I went to spend my one or two pennies. How many i I would get of this for one cent, and how many of that. I listened to it all, carefully and lfngthfully con-sidered each item, and in the end went back to the stick of striped peppermint candy, from that I could get more hours and minutes of pleasure than from anything else he could offer. Yesterday I headed for the counter on which the candy was displayed. There were the same varieties, includ-ing the striped, peppermint sticks, but instead of one or two pennies a stick they had gone up to five and ten cents. The storekeeper gave me the same patient, courteous, attention I had received as a boy. Beside me stood a small girl looking hungrily at the array of candies, but evidently not having the five and ten cents with which to buy. I handed my purchase to her. After a hurried "thank you," she rushed gleefully off to share her treat with other youngsters. My love for striped peppermint stick candy has faded with advancing years. What an institution those general stores of generations ago were. They have been succeeded in many places by the more modern depart-ment store. But the department stores lack much that made the old general store attractive. The. lack the disorder, the dust and smells. They are divided into organized de-partments, with no searching for items you may want. This takes away much of the mystery and pleasure of buying r.t the general store of yesteryear. The store I visited yesterday, and do so whenever opportunity offers, is the only one that I know still op-erating. It was part f an old west-ern ghost town purchased by the owner of a big resta1 rant located a few miles out of Los Angeles, and removed to his restaurr.nt grounds for the edification of his patrons. The general store wa the c nly busi-ness still operating in that ghost town, but it was included in the pur-chase, and the storekeeper was transplanted to tho new location. Without him that store would lose much of its interest. You can get a real thrill out of having him sell you things, especially if you are of the older generation that knew gen-eral store in your home town. Just what source they have from which to maintain Vai stock it of-fers I do not know. The storekeeper told me he had been able to find replacements for all items, though there was no one source from which they camt. He had hopes of keeping his stock going indefinitely. It would be a sad blow to that restaurant, and its two to ten thousand daily patrons if he did not succeed. It is the only one of its kind of the thou-sands that existed a bit more than half a century ago. It will not be, but it would seem a just retribution if MacArthur were privileged to tell President Truman to move out of the White House. Indirectly he might do that by his active support of the Repub-lican presidential candidate. His in-fluence could be responsible for many votes. To prohibit the supplying of in-formation to the people is the act of a dictator. How toumm? i m I fi HiLrS? If.
