Wednesday, March 28, 1951 ARE YOU JITTERY? It is a fact that in some cities of America people are moving their valuables to out-of-the-way towns, are selling off propertties in vulnerable areas and buying in places less likely to be bombed. It is a fact that Americans are being counseled not to take the risk of arming their allies, for fear this would pro- voke Joe Stalin’s anger. It is a fact that America as a whole is more jittery about the danger of war than the peoples of Western Europe, who are on the firing line and not' 4,000 miles away, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, In his column in the New York Journal-Ameri- can, Bill Corum suggests, very sensibly, that we come out from under the bed and act like Americans. “We hysterically and foolishly,” he say “about something that hasn’t happened yet and may nev happen — as though we were coming to the end of the world.” And he cites a good bit of evi- dence to show how foolishly a great many Americans are behaving are acting—victims not of real danger but of their | own hysterical fears, “orum takes issue with George Sokolsl ky, President Vice-President Managing Editor who has explained that England and France are not | jittery because they know Russia isn't going to | bother them, but only take dead aim at us. “Could be,” Mr. Corum observes. “But I don’t believe it, George. Nor do I personally believe that there is going to be another world war by April, June, | July, August, or ‘at any specific date on which any!gq . man alive can put his finger.
