LET’S NOT FALL ONE BY ONE ‘The policy of Adolf Hitler was to pick his victims off “one by one’”’-and, for a long time, the victims did not have sense enough to get together in an effective al- liance to protect themselves. The present world situation is much like that which obtained in 1939 before, Hitler began his mareh. This does not mean that Russia is ready to begin an ag- gressive war. but that the signs and por- tentsindicate the possibility of such a move by the Communist leaders of the Soviet Union. It would be a mistake, we think, for the free nations of the world to stay apart and to invite Stalin or anybody else to be- lieve that a policy of picking them off “one by one” can succeed. The way to prevent such a eatastrophe is to be found in a firm decision that an attack upon one of the free nations will be consider- ed an attack upon all of them. Consequently, there is something to the argument of Senator Estes Kefauver, of Tennessee, that the nations signatory to the North Atlinti¢ Treaty be invited to convene for the pyrpose of disquasing the formation of a ftge Federal Union. We have been a firm believer in the advisability of such a step for a nymber of years. Certainly, we would want such a super-state to be strictly limited in its powers and that the nations entering into such a union should be safeguarded in re- gard to all matters of domestic concern. The experience of the United States iljustrates the point. When the Federal Union was formed in this country, com- bining thirteen weak colonies into a co- hesive union for common defense, the rights of the states—then regarded as separate nations—-were safeguarded in a written constitution, whose function was largely to protect the citizens of the new union from arbitrary action on the part of the super-state then formed. Unfortunately, the history of the United States reveals a steady centraliza- tion of authority and the rapid growth of, power. belonging to the Federal Union. By contrast, it reveals a diminution in the importance of the states and a gradual loss of powers originally admittedly theirs and theirs alone. onsequently, it would be wise, in connection with the proposed union of the free nations, to make certain the safeguards which would effectively protect the rights of the member nations. When we say this, we are not opposed to the United States joining such a union of free peoples. In fact, there is every reason,,.why we should be willing to join hands with other nations and people who now evidence a desire to form a super- state, following the pattern set by the Thirteen Colonies, There is no reason to believe that the benefits to accrue, to us and to the people of other countries, would not be as great as those which have come to the people of the United States. We think that the Congress of the United States should take prompt action, as representatives of the people, to bring about a convention of the governments of all the free peoples of the earth. The time has come for them to stand together in order that they may not fall, one by one, Sometimes a revolutionary movement represents the desire to get something that cannot be gotten legally. The man who makes it a habit to read the Bible doesn’t have to apologize to some saphead who does otherwise. GUARD RENDERS SERVICE In the summer of 1950, some 800,000 men and officers of the National Guard Will go to camps and military installa- tions for their annual field encampment. The announcement calls to mind the great service that the members of the Na- tional Guard perform for their states and the nation. In the event of international trouble, the Guard will function as a first reserve and, inside the various states, the units ‘are available to maintain law and order. The National Guard is identified with the states. Subject to some reservations, they are subject to the orders of state offi- cials. The effort to change this status and to “nationalize” the Guard brought about a storm of protest some months ago. It is just as well that these military units are state-controlled ds not. There is nothing to be gained by putting everything under the control of a few head-men in Washing- ton. . t THE KRY WEST CITIZEN "HEN IS BABY SITTER FOR KITTENS A DOMINEERING Ae Is SEH kittens in her barrel rest Dillon, S,C: The pan ih of ¢ggs—in the falge~hopé-that she chicks: Then the mata cut mave birth to five kittens, “The hen adqpt mama cat and offspring all live t#gether'as one big happy family. of W.

SANATORI RE TAKES LIVES OF NINE PATIENTS BREE | For U. S. Congressman By Kathleen Rollins “ feel fine, David. Don’t you and Madelyn worry about me. Jason aT take keer of me tonight. You young folks run along and have a good time.” David motioned to Jason to fol- low him outside, and there made the Negro promise to call him at the Country Club if Mr. Crockett grew worse, then went in to reas- sure Madelyf that it was all right for her to go to the dance. At the Country Club, Paul and David waited for the girls to come down from the powder room. There was an awkward pause when Corrine and Madelyn ap- peared, for David’s eyes were all for Corrine’s gold chiffon evening gown that reflected gold in her hair and revealed her white throat and softly rounded arms, for her summer’s tan had vanished. Their glances locked for an instant, then Corrine lowered her eyes and turned to Paul. David dancéd with Madelyn.) , She was petulant, accusing him of staring at Corrine, of paying no attention whatever to her, of pok- ing around like a snail instead of dancing. David scarcely heard her. His arms were aching to hold Corrine, his eyes searching for her golden figure. When the dance was over he: saw-her.across the room and went, to her, The orchestra began an encore as he stopped before her. Without a word of apology to Paul or the courtesy of a request his arms closed around, her and they danced. She neld stiffly away from him at first, Her eyes were furious: “Must you always be rude?” “If it’s necessary.” He held her tenderly for’a while, then sudden- ly tightened his arms around her slender waist and laid his cheek against her soft hair. “You're sweet,” he whispered, She stiffened again and tried to pull away from him, but his arms were like iron bands imprisoning her. Then he was dancing steadily toward a ‘door leading into ar empty lounge. They danced through the door where the thick carpet disrupted their step, He lifted her clear of the carpet and carried her beyond the vision of the dancers in the ballroom, SAASRRARS RARER ARO Politieal Announcements State Democratic Primary, May 2. 1950 bn tn ain bt be bh il For U.

Gradually her lips relaxed‘ and: 4 her fists stopped pounding. Her fingers were touching his hair. When he finally stopped kissing her and lifted his head to look at her, her arms clung around his neck. Her eyes were closed- and when she finally opened them he saw the miracle of luve which she had glimpsed that other night for a few short hours. “Say you love m go,” he said hu “Must I—say i very solemn. “Say it,” he commandea: I love you, David,” she mur- mured. turned her face against his shoulde “Now, I want to know all the he commanded, “and I'm giving you fair warning—if you ever go acting like a Jezebel again I'm going to crack down on your skull and drag you to the altar by the hair. “Well, if you ever bang a re- ceiyer up in my ear again when I’m trying to explain something to you, you won’t get near enough to me to crack my skull,” she-re- turned. and I'll let you Her voice was and Madelyn will think it strange we've been gone so long.” “All right,” he agreed, “but I won't be liable for what happe: to any man who tries to dance with you." ‘. They went in through the lounge; and no one seemed to notice as they danced onto the crowded floor. The club’s manager came out of an anteroom and went directly to David. “May I speak to you a mo- ment?” David walked a few paces with him, and the man said, “A message just came in from a man who Said his name is Jason. He asked me to tell you that Mr. Crockett i: dead.” (Teo be continued) | MISSING RAY REEVE (above), widely known in North Carolina as a Sports announcer for radio sta- tion WRAL at Raleigh, has been missing mysteriously since March 16.
