Pegler's On The Loose Westbrook Pegler, who, hates civil rights legislation as much as he does labor union, has turned his poison pen against the President's Committee that issued the civil rights report a few years ago. One of his targets is Charming Tobias and true to form, Pegter fries to smear him as a Red and insinuates that he bootlegged Communist propaganda into the report. In fact, Pegler says that the report is brazenly dishonest," although he doesn't lake the trouble to point out any particular dishonesties in it. This is a technique that has become popular during the past few years. Civil rights are equated with Communism and it is charged, openly or covertly, that any person who believes in upholding constitutional guarantees is in secret league with the Reds. The truth of the matter is that the denial of civil rights on the basis of race offers a fertile field for Communist propagandists and they use it for all that it is worth. It is a handy device with which they try to discredit democracy both at home and abroad. As for Mr. Tobias, he hardly needs this, or any other editorial. His long and distinguished service in the YMCA and his unswerving devotion to the public good have established him in a position where Pegler can't hurt him and we can add next to nothing to his good reputation. We reiterate that the danger in these attacks from Pegler lie in the fact that they may persuade some well meaning people that civil rights and communism ore synonymous terms. They aren't. Those who confuse them become, wittingly or unwillingly, some of the best propagandists that the Reds have. —From California Eagle.— THE HEALTH FORUM WORLD By R. EARL BLAND, M. D.

STRAND PRODUCTS CO. 110$ Cilies. Chicago s. m HEADLINES & BYLINES By SILAS P. WASHINGTON The phenomenon — if indeed there is such a thing — of thought transference or u telepathy has always been interesting to me. Also. I have noticed the same topics have been discussed almost simultaneously by people miles apart with absolutely no communication between them. Some claim that these are simply coincidences. Such may be the case yet, I have, my doubts. Some such happening seems to have taken, place lately. Mrs. A. W. Willis mid I were discussing last Moonday September 17. the differences between the children of our generation and those of today. Then. I noted the article by Roger Babson of Gloucester, Mass., Sept20, on practically, the same thing. You may call that a coincidence, if you care to, but I feel that there is more to it than that. For all that, the simultaneous (or nearly so) discussion did occur Moreover, the ger eral trend of the discussions was the same in both cases. Mrs. Willis observed that our modern high school — and even many collegenothing of "cracking" a verb Besides, they resent being corrected. I know too well from first-hand experience that she is correct on that contention. Both of us commented on how different in that respect students were years ago. On nearly the same thing Babson wrote: "In my day; the teachers failed to get results. I had my share of lickings and my parents I never complained to the teachers because they spanked their darling boy." He continued: "I remember being taught to read from the McGuffey Readers and having to learn such sayings as 'Habit is a Cable. We weave a strand of it each day until it becomes no strong we cannot break it;" or All that you do, do with your might" or Things that are half done are never done right. "Such was common in those days. For Instance, I find written, and inclosed by curlicues, on the front flyleaf of a textbook on "Natural Philosophy" (Physics now) by Quackenbas; "Satan yet finds work for idle hands to do." There is also, on that page "Pierce Academy," "Never forget old Middleboro, Mass., "Natural Phil, 11$," "Etymolog. 91/2," "Arithmet. 2nd. 21/2," "Fall Term and Albert W.' Lawrence, the man for whom I first worked and who gave me his old textbook forty one years ago. I hope to always keep that book in memory of Mr. Lawrence. The results of that old-fashioned method of training were very apparent In Mr. Lawrence. I cite, for examples, the 'following: He was just, as eager to get to church on time as he was to keep a business appointment. He was punctual and certain about paying his help. He demanded and got a good day's work for a good day's pay. He kept a beautiful and orderly farm; a well painted and pretty farm house; well painted and orderly stable and barn, green and well kept lawns, perfectly straight and parallel rows of strawberries, potatoes, corn and the like. In fact, the farm was so neat and beautiful that I was proud that I worked there. Besides, he was always advising me one way or another: He fold me the value of always being reliable the advantages of always making plain and legible letters and numbers and, finally; the rewards of thrift. Mr. Lawrence, has been dead for some time now; sill, I frequently reflect on his words mid actions. Yes, that old method did get results. Mr. Babson seems to think that Juvenile delinquency is the result of the indifference of parents and not the fault of the schools. He may have a point there too. Just as Mr. Lawrence used to advise me, so did scores of others, along, with my parents, do the- same. That was the custom then, certainly such does not prevail today. At any rate, we do have juvenile delinqueucy in a big way now. Babson says again: "Parents seem tc be interested in only one thing— not what their children learn — but to have their children get a diploma. "It seems to be in the air today to get all one can for little or no effort. If you do not realize that, you are wilfully blind. Like Babson. I believe that we need to go back to fundamentals. He concludes (and I give an unequivocal "amen"): "This does not mean that we should return to outhouses, wood stoves and bamboos; hut it docs mean that we may return to the MeGuffey Readers, the three R's, good discipline and creating among students the love to work and save." MART OF THOUGHT There is no new individual experience in life. Disappointment and sorrow come to all. We sometimes think our troubles are different but sooner or later we find an experience which is the same. Others have found solutions for their problems so it should be encouraging to thoroughfare on this journey thru life Rather we are walking laughing and suffering with all humanity and this too shall pass away. During recent years I have learned that God is kindest In giving us sorrow and denials inasmuch as Mine, revealed hidden thorns of path in the flowers I longed for most and sorrowed because I could not obtain. Then too it is only in the darkness that we really see the stars. Without sorrow we cannot fully appreciate happiness. — We cannot rise without something to rise above. The deeper the sorrow, the greater the heights we can attain. When Abraham Lincoln was a young man he ran for the legislature in Illinois — and lost: He entered' business, failed and spent seventeen years paying a partners debt. His fiance died and he Inter married u woman who was a constant burden to him. He entered politics again and Wits defeated for Congress, the senate and the vice presidency. In the failure of one defeat or another, he eventually became one of the greatest men of our country and occupied the highest office in the land; Considering these set-backs, you feel small in thinking, you're having a hard time don't you? Each year new records are set. Better songs are written and better houses are built. Someone is going to do these things, why not you? Miracles seldom happen but what really pays off is persevering one step beyond the end, where the unseen victory lies. Against the storm of life keep your head bowed, that's good sense, but keep your heart and shoulders high and tho fate uses you meanly and leaves you deeply wounded, don't give up. Lie down and bleed if you must, but arise to fight and win. The very mettle of your soul must be tried before you know whether you are like rubbish or steel under fire. One is consumed the other refined. Philander Smith College begins the 1951 year with double emphasis upon curriculum reorganization and Mr. Cullin S. Hodge.

Smith Declares Many veterans of the 241st Transportation Company said goodbey last night and Ml for Norfolk, Va. after it brief ten day furlough at home. I had the distinct pleasure of Interviewing one of the group Corporal Holmes Lee Smith who was visiting his pretty young wife. Delin Mae and lovely little daughter Marie in their attractive apartment at 423-F Lauderdale St. Marie who is a very apt pupil at Porter School was delighted to see her daddy and playing with the neighorhood children was forgotten as she sat and gazed at him with the adoration only a child can have. When the ship steamed into port on the morning of September 11 Corporal Smith's thoughts, along with many other soldiers, turned towards home and family. Not many hours passed before he was here and there was a jolly reunion. The 241st had sailed away the 1st of June, bound for "Greenland. .Of course the Soldiers did not know where they were headed. Because of icy waters the trip took about 2B days. They saw kilometers" of lee and icebergs of various sizes. The average was one or two "hundred feet high but Cpl. Smith saw many of much greater magnitude. The largest was about three hundred feet high. That was pretty big con sldering the fact that only oneninth of an iceberg extends above the water. This reporter saw the certificate showing that Cpl. Smith crossed the Arctic Circle on June 20 to enter the Domain of the Polar Bear properly signed by A. L. Saffer, U. S. N. In the frigid zone Cpl. Smith saw the monument to Admiral Robert Edwin Peary on Cape York. He also saw an Eskimo who accompaneid Peary and Matt Hanson the Negro to the north pole in 1909. His longevity is most unusual for an eskimo. On the playgrounds, of the penquin, seal and-polar bear they reach ed Greenland which is Just a huge island of ice itself. There is no vegetation. Only at the edges there is what appears to be a species of moss Even there, after digging four feet the lee is reached again. There were no insects of any kind. Very strange looking without trees and vegetation. Nothing but that mosstike growth. Cpl Smith was there during the summer season yet it was cold enough for the salt water in the harbor to freeze. The average temperature was 20 degrees above zero. Furlined clothes were the regular issue which is very comforting to us at home to know that American servicemen arc wellclothed and well-fed wherever they are stationed. From the time of arrival In Greenland until the 21st of August there was no darkness, then it was only for a few fleeting minutes. Rather confusing according to Cpl. Smith because one could awaken from a nap and not know whether it was time for breakfast or dinner. Despite the cold weather some of the men suffered sunburn from the continuous rays. Cpl. Smith was in the Paratrooper Reserves having served three years, one month and twenty-three days with the 555th Paratroopers formerly the only Negro parachute unit of World War II. His total service record to date is eight years and nine months. He received his paratrooper training at Fort Bending, Ga. Before he was discharged the 555th became a part of the famed 82nd Airborne Division of Fort Bragg. N. C. He received the Citation for the Army Commendation Ribbon and "Wears the ribbon tar meritorious service, as a member of the Medical Detachment 555th Parachute Inf. Btn. At dusk on Aug. 7, 1945, Technician Smith voluntarily and with much personal risk, made an emergency Jump and made his way through almost unpassable mountain terrain to administer medical assistance to five injured men who had parachuted upon a forest fire, in Trinity National forest, Calif. His heoric action was a source of Inspiration to his fellow soldiers and reflected great credit upon him and the military service." There is a gleam that comes into the eyes of Cpl, Smith and a solemness in his tone when he tells of the numerous times when just for a second before parachuting, when he stood poised in the doorway of a giant plane flying along at an altitude of two thousand feet with nothing between him and the earth but air— and God. He also wears paratroper wings; American Tneater of Operations; Good; Conduct and World War II Victory Ribbons. The 29 year old servicemen was offered a commission his junior year in college but refused because he would have gone on active duly for three years and he did not want to interrupt his education. Nevertheless it was interrupted because ever tho he was an infantry reservist Cpl. Smith was transferred to the 241st to fill its quota and was reactivated September 3rd. when the unit was called to Fort Eustis, Va. Although Cpl. Smith expects to be discharged soon ho has enjoyed being and serving with the 241st.the vin invited some of the soldiers to called from Memphis to active duty and among the first in the nation Captain. George Robinson of Memphis is in charge of the unit which was all Negro until three white men were added several months ago. Cpi Smith Winks these are grand fel lows. One or them, Cpl. Robert GarYin invited some of the soldires to his wedding in Vermont last Week The other two and from New York and Ohio. The 241st made the best, record of any unit in Greenland (performing whatever its task was Which must have been a military, secret because this reporter was unable to get the details) and proved itself capable of operating alone under ALL and ANY conditions. The unit expects to return overseas soon — destination unknown. Several buddies who left Memphis with the group have been transfaults is the best way. With its imSmith knew real well Pfc. Thad Douglass was killed in Korea and this reporter has been informed that his body is enroute to Memphis now. Cpl. Smith had this to say about the V. N. police action in Korea and the world situation ns he sees it. His words may shock you a little but that, la good because ninny people have not yet grasped the meaning of the surge of communism. "The reds are too demanding" Cpl. Smith stated "and I think war win come. Under certain conditions I think we should light; before we relinquish our rights rather than lose our way of life. I hope the diplomats can find a way at the conferences but they should not give in too easily-even the it jeopardizes my life, and that of other servicemen. Communism must not be allowed to spread all over the world American democracy even with its fauts its the best way. With its improvements and promises; with what we know its possibilities to be That's for me and mine!' The veteran stroked the curls about his daughters shoulders and said "I hope for a world where our children can go to school and grow in peace; Our way of life is best." Cpl. Smith has a brother Sgt. Will E. Smith who was discharged from the occupation forces in Korea before the present conflagration was recalled after one month and sent tacit to Korea where he was wound ed oh the Han river last February. Sgt. Smith is still in Korea with the 402d Engineers which is a part if the famous 10th Corps. Their mother resides at 276 No. Main Street, coving ton, Term, An uncle, Mr William Louis Claynon. lives at 1047 Randle St., Memphis.

The 241st made the best, record of any unit in Greenland (performing whatever its task was Which must have been a military, secret because this reporter was unable to get the details) and proved itself capable of operating alone under ALL and ANY conditions.

"The reds are too demanding" Cpl. Smith stated "and I think war win come. Under certain conditions I think we should light; before we relinquish our rights rather than lose our way of life. I hope the diplomats can find a way at the conferences but they should not give in too easily-even the it jeopardizes my life, and that of other servicemen.

ISLAND OF ICE Many veterans of the 241st Transportation Company said goodbey last night and Ml for Norfolk, Va. after it brief ten day furlough at home. I had the distinct pleasure of Interviewing one of the group Corporal Holmes Lee Smith who was visiting his pretty young wife. Delin Mae and lovely little daughter Marie in their attractive apartment at 423-F Lauderdale St. Marie who is a very apt pupil at Porter School was delighted to see her daddy and playing with the neighorhood children was forgotten as she sat and gazed at him with the adoration only a child can have. When the ship steamed into port on the morning of September 11 Corporal Smith's thoughts, along with many other soldiers, turned towards home and family. Not many hours passed before he was here and there was a jolly reunion. The 241st had sailed away the 1st of June, bound for "Greenland. .Of course the Soldiers did not know where they were headed. Because of icy waters the trip took about 2B days. They saw kilometers" of lee and icebergs of various sizes. The average was one or two "hundred feet high but Cpl. Smith saw many of much greater magnitude. The largest was about three hundred feet high. That was pretty big con sldering the fact that only oneninth of an iceberg extends above the water. This reporter saw the certificate showing that Cpl. Smith crossed the Arctic Circle on June 20 to enter the Domain of the Polar Bear properly signed by A. L. Saffer, U. S. N. In the frigid zone Cpl. Smith saw the monument to Admiral Robert Edwin Peary on Cape York. He also saw an Eskimo who accompaneid Peary and Matt Hanson the Negro to the north pole in 1909. His longevity is most unusual for an eskimo. On the playgrounds, of the penquin, seal and-polar bear they reach ed Greenland which is Just a huge island of ice itself. There is no vegetation. Only at the edges there is what appears to be a species of moss Even there, after digging four feet the lee is reached again. There were no insects of any kind. Very strange looking without trees and vegetation. Nothing but that mosstike growth. Cpl Smith was there during the summer season yet it was cold enough for the salt water in the harbor to freeze. The average temperature was 20 degrees above zero. Furlined clothes were the regular issue which is very comforting to us at home to know that American servicemen arc wellclothed and well-fed wherever they are stationed. From the time of arrival In Greenland until the 21st of August there was no darkness, then it was only for a few fleeting minutes. Rather confusing according to Cpl. Smith because one could awaken from a nap and not know whether it was time for breakfast or dinner. Despite the cold weather some of the men suffered sunburn from the continuous rays. Cpl. Smith was in the Paratrooper Reserves having served three years, one month and twenty-three days with the 555th Paratroopers formerly the only Negro parachute unit of World War II. His total service record to date is eight years and nine months. He received his paratrooper training at Fort Bending, Ga. Before he was discharged the 555th became a part of the famed 82nd Airborne Division of Fort Bragg. N. C. He received the Citation for the Army Commendation Ribbon and "Wears the ribbon tar meritorious service, as a member of the Medical Detachment 555th Parachute Inf. Btn. At dusk on Aug. 7, 1945, Technician Smith voluntarily and with much personal risk, made an emergency Jump and made his way through almost unpassable mountain terrain to administer medical assistance to five injured men who had parachuted upon a forest fire, in Trinity National forest, Calif. His heoric action was a source of Inspiration to his fellow soldiers and reflected great credit upon him and the military service." There is a gleam that comes into the eyes of Cpl, Smith and a solemness in his tone when he tells of the numerous times when just for a second before parachuting, when he stood poised in the doorway of a giant plane flying along at an altitude of two thousand feet with nothing between him and the earth but air— and God. He also wears paratroper wings; American Tneater of Operations; Good; Conduct and World War II Victory Ribbons.
