Occasionally We Hear "The Truman Story" Of late former President Truman has been in the news on. certain philosophies contingent to "solvent government." His years as head of the Truman committee, Vice President under the late Franklin D. Roosevelt and President of the United States in his own right, would rate him high in the ranks of elder statesmanship. His words should be something of interest since he apparently would not find it expedient to be first against inflation, then for what would amount to national isolation and at the same time be for certain tax easements which naturally would gravely affect some of the doctrines he is finding it expedient to sponsor. Mr. Truman finds it much easier to explode certain summit approaches, while expressing ways and means for this administration to lick some of the very economic episodes he himself posed. He is much in demand for those quips and skits, Trumanistic in nature Which might be used in the coming campaign to bolster the Democratic membership in Congress. Top powers in the parties certainly have a right to boost their own game, and the people should bear this fact in mind While listening to those who are naturally political minded. His usual outbursts, so muchly awaited by those of his followers who themselves saw some twenty years of unstandardized economy, "made work" and periodic wet-nursing, would seem a bit amusing in these times when the national call is for all hands upon deck, regardless of party affiliations or faith in some wholesome and permanent solutions. Mr. Lincoln said and emphasized on numerous occasions that the first impulse of the nation was to save the Union. Without saving the Union first, there would not have been anything left worth saving. Mr. Truman is truly an interesting speaker; he almost matches Herbert Hoover and Calvin Coolidge in those dry quips of gripping satire and biting sarcasm when it comes to castigaling an opponent. But what the country would most relish and profit by in these times, would be the resourcefulness and ripe experience of those whose first emphasis is to save the nation. it is well worth it and the people would be greatly indebted politically to those who lay party expediency aside and come over into this Macedonia and help save the nation first. Sound fiscal policies are the need of the day even if they don't bring about immediately what is popularly desired. Inquiry Into Auto Prices The Justice Department recently opened an inquiry into the reported price-fixing practices used by automobile dealers. The inquiry came as the recession and slumping car sales hit dealers harder than at any time since World War II. In our opinion, the inquiry could hardly have been worsttimed, or hardly have come at a time when nothing (or very little) was so certain to be accomplished. In past years there has been a crying need for such an inquiry, and we will go along with the suggestion of one Senator that the suggested list price of all cars be plainly attached to cars in dealers show rooms. In past years there have been irregularities in the automobile business (as there have been in all businesses this large) and some sort of investigation and subsequent action would have been thoroughly warranted. It is a known fact that unscrupulous dealers (a very small segment of the total in the industry) have taken some purchases to the cleaners by agreeing with ether dealers to "up" the retail list price on a certain model. The Justice Department is now of the opinion that this sort of thing is still going on. It is the department's contention that dealers of a Certain car get together and agree on this fixed or artificial price, and stick together in dealing with the public. But conditions in the automobile industry at least — in most areas of the country at least — are enough evidence to show that any such rigging of price can hardly stand the test of some desperate competitor of which there are many, in these times. In other words, while we agree that such reported conspiracy is against all that free enterprise and the system is supposed to stand for, we think this is an odd time to begin such a study. CAPITAL SPOTLIGHT BRUSSELS — Carl Murphy, chairman of the NNPA News Service Committee, okayed the trip to the Brussels World's Fair: "If this trip will answer the question are Belgium's colonies in Africa mismanaged?. "Why is it no Belgian colonies are winning their independence? "What is file colonists' view? "What is Belgian's view? "Where does the truth probably lie?" That's a tough assignment, but the answers will-be sought. The Belgian colonies are the Belgian Congo, sprawling across the equator, larger than the United States east of the Mississippi and embracing most of the Congo River basin, and Ruanda, in the heart of equatorial Africa, and Urundi directly south the two States forming the Rusanda-Urundi territory administered by Belgium under the United Nations Trust sys tem. The Belgian Congo is administered by the Minister of the Colonies at Brussels and a Colonial Council of 14 members. The Governor General at Leopoldville is assisted by a Government Council of nominated members. Ruanda and Urundi, formerly in German East Africa, are united administratively with the Belgian Congo, under vice governor at Astrida. To understand American policy, as Joseph Palmer III. Assistant Secretary of Stale for African Affairs, puts it, "the essentially complementary character of die European and African continents" must be recognized. Meanwhile, the red carpet is being rolled out for American correspondents here to cover the opening of the World's Fair. Here is a sample of the schedule under which the correspondents are working: Those who traveled on the World's Fair inaugural flight met in the Sabena Suite at the New York International (Idlewild) Airport for pre-departure reception. At 5 p. m. the Sabena Belgian World Airlines special World's Fair charter DC-7 took off. We arrived at Melsbroek Airport Brussels, at 10:30 the next morning and departed for our hotels at 11 o'clock. At 1 p. m., there was a luncheon for the correspondents at the Plaza Hotel; at 3 p.m., a sightseeing tour of Brussels in private cars; at 6 p.m. the United Suites Ambassador gave a reception, and at 8:30 p. m. there was a dinner at the Palace Hotel with the High Commissioner of Tourism in Belgium as the host. Tuesday me press was given a preview of the world's Fair. At 9 a.m. we left our respective hotels for the World's Pair grounds; 10 a.m., official reception in the Brussels World's Fair auditorium; 10:45 a. m. guided tour of the Brussels World's Fair; 1 p. m. luncheon, with the host being Baron Moens de Fernig. Commissioner General of the Fair, at the Fair. At 2:30 p.m. inauguration of Heliport on the Fair grounds; 6:15 p.m., visit to Folklore section, "La Belgique Joyeuse"; 7 p.m., reception at Folklore section, and 9 p. m. returned to hotels. The United States has built as part of its national pavilion an auditorium theater in which live performances will be presented. Current funds provide for a program which will cover only 11 of the 26 weeks duration of the fair. It Is anticipated that four additional weeks will be provided for at no cost to the American Government by a European premiere of a new motion picture. In addition to the scientific and technological exhibits in the United States pavilion, the United States is one of a number of countries participating in the International Science Hall which is a separate structure on the fair grounds. Here are a couple of items taken from the files in Washington. Lieut Col. James R. Hillard, professor of military science and tacties at Central Slate College. Wilberforce (Ohio), is being considered for assignment to the military assistance advisory group in Vietnam. Oscar DePriest III, an Army doctor, son of Stanton DePriest andgrandson of the late Congressman, who is in Berlin with the Sixth Infantry Regiment, has been given a commission in the Regular Army. The deposition of the Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church and one of the 10 ministers suing to oust the Rev. Joseph H. Jackson, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Chicago, as president of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., is the first to be taken. The Rev. Mr. Smith testified that if he had been given an opportunity to appeal from the ruling of Dr. Jackson that the Convention's rule limiting him to four successive one-year terms had been illegally adopted and that he, Jackson, was eligible for reelection—that would have been the end of the controversy as far as he was concerned, even if Dr. Jackson's ruling had been sustained. Fact vs. Fiction: That vest pocket size mag was in error again when it published that the Senate voted unanimously to reconsider the bill returning to the states legislative jurisdiction over federal lands in the states.

Distributed by King Features Syndicate. We REACHED Buhl in late afternoon and camped along the river under the cottonwoods at almost the exact spot where I had camped nearly four years before with my folks. We took care of our horses, staking them out in the grass between the town and the river, gathered a tall pile of firewood, and stood around arguing about what our course of action should be. My father or Elder Smith would hive taken hold; but as it was, none of us had any real status as group leader. I was the only one who wanted to let the townspeople know we were there, I said we'd come to balance any threat Toll would make and the sooner we announced ourselves, the better. In the end they gave in without me having to tell them I had another reason, a personal one. I Had to know if Kitsy was there yet, and 1 would have gone alone il I'd had to. First, Frank Dance backed me, then Johnny Strong, and finally the rest of them agreed to go. When we reached the courthouse at the end of Main street, the sun was well down in the west but the day hadn't cooled. The summer had been dry and hot with no rain here in Buhl for weeks. Ed Veach must have seen us from his office In the courthouse. He came out and called to us, standing hareheaded in the sunlight, red in the face and sweating. "What are you fellows doing in town?" Veach demanded in a bullying voice. "Come down off your high horse. Ed," Frank Dance said. "We ain't breaking no law." "We're aiming to visit court tomorrow," I said. "A neighbor of ours is being tried. Remember?" He backed up, looking us over as if uncertain how far he could push as, or whether he could push at all. He said, "There's an ordinance in this town against packing guns." We knew there was such an ordinance, but we also knew it wasn't enforced. I asked, "Vic Toll in town?." "No." "He will be," I said. "You go ing to take his gun?" Veach backed up another step. "I reckon you'd better keep yours," he said. "Just don't start no trouble. I don't want this own turned into a shooting gallery. Yon savvy?" "Then you'd better see Toll don't start trouble," Frank said. "And you'd better see Bess gets fair trial," Johnny Strong added. "She'll get a fair trial," Veach said. "I reckon you boys never sat in court when Judge Jefferson Brundage was presiding. Nothing formal about him. But he's fair." Veach started to turn around. I asked, "Where's Si Beam?" "I dunno." Suddenly it struck me that he might have Bess locked up in his filthy jail. He was halfway to the front door of the courthouse when I asked. "Where are you seeping Bess?." "In the hotel." He turned and looked at me. "I've got a woman with her. I ain't gonna put her in ail unless she's convicted, but if you boys try to—" "We won't," Frank said, "You just Keep her Out of that jail." There were twelve of us altogether, and it wasn't often that eleven armed men walked down Buhl's Main street in a bunch. The news that we wore there would be all over town within a matter of minutes. We filed into the hotel lobby. As soon as the clerk. Brown, recognized us, he came out from behind his desk and gravely shook hands all around. He said: "I'm mighty glad to see you boys. Nobody can scare the judge, but he don't live here. The jury does." Here again was a line of thinking that wasn't monopolized by one man. We went into the bar Alec Brady, the mayor, was there, and as soon as he saw who we were he came to us. "I'm paying," he said. "What's your choice, gentlemen?" We lined up and ordered, then Brady said: "It's no secret that we've been" worried about this trial ever since Bess Nordine was indicted. Rafter 3 will be here in the morning. What will happen then?" The bartender poured our drinks, but we let them stand. When nobody answered Brady's question, he got impatient "All right, all right. You boys didn't come to town for the ride on a day as hot as this." "That's rights," Frank said; "This is a put-up job, Alec. We aim for Bees to get a fair trial." "And if she doesn't?" Brady pressed. That wasn't a question any of us could answer, so we turned to he bar and had our drinks. Brady, more impatient than ever, said: "Now you boys listen to me. I'm the mayor of this town and I'm speaking for it. We've got between three and four hundred people living here, most of them women-and kids, and even us men don't have a stake in the trouble between you and Rafter 3." Johnny Strong hit the bar so hard with his fist that the glasses jumped. "You better see your folks stay Cover. We've had two men murdered who were as innocent as any of your women and kids. Now one of our women is being tried for something she didn't do. I dunno what's gonna happen, but I know Vic Toll and I know we ain't gonna stand for him framing Bess Nordine and sending her to jail in Canon City." He stalked out, all the rest following him but Frank Dance and me. I asked, "Where will you and your friends stand if we get into a fight, Mr. Brady?" "We'll stand against the side that fires the first shot Brady said, "but don't let it happen, Munro." "We can't promise anything." I said. "There's something bigger here than you or me or Bess." He got his pipe out and filled it. "I know that, Munro. Judge Brundage knows it, too. I talked to him this afternoon. None of its likes the things that have happened in this fight you boys are having with Rafter 3, but turning our town Into a shambles won't make those things right." Elder Smith could have argued with him, maybe found a way out of this mess, but I couldn't. Confused, I turned away and walked into the lobby, Frank following me. All this time I had been thinking that this fight had to be brought to a head and that Vic Toll and his crew had to be wiped out; but I knew now I was wrong. I thought about Bess as we walked back to camp through the thickening twilight. If she had any chance. I couldn't see it. CHAPTER 29 WAYNE D. OVERHOLSER'S new Western thriller © 1956, 1957. Wayne D.

The slaying occurred in the presence of several horrified witnesses, including Marie-Ange Dimanche, an Embassy typist, and Roger Dreyfuss, 52, second secretary. A third witness, Rafael Duque, Embassy doorman, told police that just before the lethal burst of gunfire he heard Toussaint accuse Devieux of "writing bad things about him." The Embassy issued the following statement on the slaying: "Samuel Devieux, 52, Minister Counselor at the Haitian Embassy for the past six months, was shot and killed at 10:40 this morning by Andre Toussaint, 39, first secretary of the Embassy.

"He returned to the Embassy, obtained a pistol from his desk, entered Devieux' office, and after an altercation, shot the counselor." The statement added: "Toussaint is now in custody of Ambassador Fouche, with cooperation of the Washington police, until instructions are received from the Haitian government." Embassy personnel said Devieux and Toussaint had "feuded" almost continuously since the Minister Counselor was assigned to the Washington Embassy late last year.

Lack of spirit is not the cause. Douglass students have the reputation for having more school spirit to an any other city institution with the exception of Booker T. Washington. The principal of the school. Prof. J. D. Springer, is sports mined and helps instill "that good old Douglass spirit" into his pupils. Douglass apparently has the three essentials— material, coaching and spirit. But until the Devils combine the three to rid themselves of their inferiority complex, they will continue to wonder where the titles went. NEXT: FATHER BERTRAND THE ANSWER BY MELVIN GREER Douglass is still looking for its first championship in the Prep League of which it has been a constituent new for nearly a decade. In basketball the Devils have usually caused some ruckus, though not enough to annex the league cage title which has been monpolized by the Booker T. Washington Warriors. This season for all Devil fans was a good one. Their darkhorse team placed second in the loop with an impressive 8-4 record. But back to Douglass football team. Last September a reporter quoted Douglass Head Football Coach A. D. Miller as saying: "I believe my team will be stronger this year, and will improve on last year's 2-3 record." Coach Miller couldn't have utter ed a more erroneous prophecy. The season turned out like all the other Douglass seasons; After the Board of Council, which finally emerged from seclusion, ruled a 13-12 victory over Hamilton "no contest" because Douglass had sent ineligible players against the Wildcats, the Red Devils performed their traditional act of going to pieces. They lost to Manassas, 19-0, BTW, 7-6, Melrose, 27-6, and tied Fr. Bertrand, 6-6 Insult was added to injury when they lost again to Manassas in the Blues Bowl Classic. Lack of material cannot reasonably be the answer to the puzzie. Not when Douglass annually turns out stars like Ivory Hunt, Earl Baker, Charles Rawlings, Tom McDonald, John Jones, Eli Jones, Elbert Parrish and the immortal Fay Mitchell. Not when a local radio station gives one of its Devils, William Kincaide, the title of "Gridirien Greatest." Coaching doesn't seem to be the real answer, although the Douglass coaching staff has been frequently blamed for making "too many wrong and radical decisions" during crucial moments. Lack of spirit is not the cause. Douglass students have the reputation for having more school spirit to an any other city institution with the exception of Booker T. Washington. The principal of the school. Prof. J. D. Springer, is sports mined and helps instill "that good old Douglass spirit" into his pupils. Douglass apparently has the three essentials— material, coaching and spirit. But until the Devils combine the three to rid themselves of their inferiority complex, they will continue to wonder where the titles went.
