YY WEST CITIZEN BILL Wednesday, Juty 20, 1952: PALAASAALADABAALARARM Have you ever noticed the sym- pathetic understanding of the so- called ‘underprivileged classes"? Ever wondered about the sage advice or beautiful poetry that so- often reaches the outside world from deep within the walls of a 2 prison? Alfred Adler in his ‘““Understand- ing Human Nature,” has said: “A real appreciation for human nature . . .will be gained only by . . .the conivite sinners, either those who have been in the whirlpool of psy- che life, entangled in all its mis- takes and errors, and saved them- selves from it, or those who have been close to it and felt its cur- rents touching them.” Such a person, Adler goes on to say, understands both the good and the bad sides of life. “‘No one can compare with him in this un- derstanding, certainly not the righteous one.” Adler wasn’t trying to encourage the general public to go out and experience the seamy side of life. He was merely pointing out the difficulty most people face when they try to understand human na- ture—especially the righteous. My own opinion is that Adler ‘would have been more correct had oe attest an extra word and said hypocritical righteous.” Righteous people are seldom re- ognized. They are kind, sympathe- tic, loving. They lead quiet lives, mever interfere with others, but are always where they are needed The imrposritiga! righteous — nother color. public, display toward our less for- funate fellowman. If a man or woman is convicted of a crime, we send them to a penitentiary. Until a better solution is arrived at, I've no objection to General Grow “Guilty” In Diary Case e FT. MEADE, Md. # — The American general who was re- by the Russians to have a diary advocating a hit-’em- first war with the Soviet Union has been convicted of letting his diary fall into Communist hands. Technically, Maj. Gen. Robert W. Grow was found guilty by a court martial Tuesday of two of- fenses: Jotting down military se- crets in his personal diary and failing to safeguard classified data. He was sentenced to a repri- mand, which will count against . Newsmen were even contact those involved. t diary really contained Iso is veiled ds correct, the diary said in part: “War! As soon as possible! Now! this-even though in most instances, | '®! prison sentences are motivated by’ revenge. However, when ven- geance has been served, or to soothe delicate feelings, when the wrong-doing man or woman puts in enough time to become does the public give him a decent break? The answer is “No!”. The person is forever suspect. Yet that very same person is, according to as re- owned an authority as Adler, much |more capable of understanding and helping the world than the average man — providing that he really has become rehabilitated. The human race will be one step further along to a cosmic con- to accept experiences, either good or bad, as character-building inci- |dents. No one mistake is big | enough to break a man; no single good action sufficient to buy him a seat in Heaven. We must educate ourselves to realize that crime is a product of society — an ignorant, incapable society that has fallen down some- where along the line. I sometimes wonder if our own egotistical drive for power, wealth, | recognition, etc., isn’t the real \thing that creates a criminal. A person lacking in strength to bare- handedly figh¢ a giant would feel justified in picking up a club. Do you think the so-called criminal, realizing ,his inability to compete through legal cunning or mental ability with his neighbor, choses crime as a substitute method of gaining his goal? If he does, then society itself has forced him into his criminality. Conditions ‘will never change until we realize that, as we proceed along life's path, we must spread out our hands either to help or to be helped. We must ail reach the com: goal together. will continue to be a dis: jointed, hap-hazard tug-of-war with individual men and nations seek- ing supremacy until they realize that such supremacy can only exist harmonously when it applies to a United Mankind conquering error — a race of human beings each contributing wholeheartedly to make up for the difficiencies of each other. “Unofficial” Says Regarding Skyrocket’s Speed WASHINGTON (#—Test pilot Bill Bridgeman has flown the Navy's Skyrocket D-5588-2 higher and fast- er than anyone else has dared go, but neither he nor his airplane can be recognized as holders of official world records. ‘The National Aeronautic Associa- take off from the ground, as the from a B-29 mother ship at 35,000 by U.

The President carried the state only 33,612 of 4,075,000 votes Stevenson had an eye on a U. S. Senate seat when his name was proposed by a small group of ar- admirers to Jacob M.

Stevenson thought his experience in the State Department and with “It it's true that politics is the art of compromise,” he once said, “I’ve had a good start. My mother was a Republican and a Unitarian, He campaigned fiercely against Green, denouncing what he called his “scandalous and thriftless ad- ministration, broken promises and cynical sale of privilege.” After the election, he remarked that he would have no say in shap- ing federal policies—“But I can improve the probity, the efficiency and morality of state government, move toward this ob- is to tighten law enforce- legislation taking the realm and putting them system. 2 f ‘Hi ty if rules require, but was launched | driving E OF ADLAI THIS ROCK OF OURS |E.
