White House Commissar Seen
Result of U. S. Complacency
Complacency on the part of the United States as to
the effectiveness of the United Nations organization, be-
lief in our military power, or bland acceptance of Soviet
Russia’s expansionist program may result in a Commissar
in the White House in the opinion of Owen J. Roberts,
former Associate Justice of the United States Supreme
Court.
Writing in the September issue of Cosmopolitan maga-
zine, Mr. Roberts piercingly appraises the United Nations
organization, which he believes incapable of preserving
the peace of the world; the belief of the militarists who
feel that only a tremendously powerful United States
military machine can safeguard our security; and the
view of those who would countenance limitless Soviet
expansion.
Concerning the last-named
group, ho states unequivocally:
“I, for one, oppose this view
with all my strength. We must
never forget that if Hitler had
been able t" destroy Great
Britain, after he conquered the
nations of Western Europe, we
would have been next. We pre-
vented aggression against our-
selves only by entering the war
in time to prevent the destruction
of Great Britain, our bastion
across the Atlantic.
“Stalin could do what Hitler
failed to do. If we are complacent,
we may end up with a Commissar
in the White House.”
Because the Assembly of the
United Nations is merely a de-
bating group with no authority
to make laws that govern all the
member nations, and because of
(he veto in the Security Council,
the United Nations i3 powerless
to solve the world's problems, he
declares.
To pursue a policy of strong-
arm diplomacy, backed by a
mighty military machine would
seriously lower our standaid of
living and finally destroy the
very liberty we arc trying to
•ive, Mr. Roberts declares.
To try to live in amity with
dictatorships and yield to aggres-
sive and expanding nations in the
hopes their terror-imposed struc-
tures would eventually collapse
of their own weight would be well
nigh suicidal, he contends.
Only by federating those na-
tions of the world whose citizen*
have individual liberty and prac-
tise self-government can we hope
for world peace, Mr. Roberts
feels.
"The people of all these nations
can, and should unite in one in-
ternational government/’ he de-
clares. “Such a federation would
bo the surest protection of the
individual liberty and the eco-
nomic welfare of all the people in
Conceding that there would be
many difficulties in the way of
such a federation Mr. Roberts
contends that none of them are
insuperable.
“The alternative is to stagger
on in a world riv n >y national
sovereignty in the vain hope that,
somehow, ifinlimaiy and power,
which ha- <vs failed in the
past, can keep us out of war in
the futi e,” he declares.

For the special and formal occasions—dance, dinner or party—the

Every school should have u def-
inite school health program. Situa-
tions such as, the kind of drinking
water, arrangements for the school
lunch, the lighting, seating, venti-
lation and cleanliness of the
schoolroom, and the personal prac-
tices of the teachers and children
are the bases of the school health
program, said Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
state health officer.
Every school has tremendous
opportunities to promote the
health of its pupils and of its com-
munity. From early childhood to
early manhood or womanhood,
most children are enrolled in
schools and are under the super-
vision of school staffs for a sub-
stantial part of the days for ap-
proximately half the days of the
year. The conditions under which
they live in school, the help which
they are given in solving their
health problems, the ideals of in-
dividual and community health
which they are taught and the in-
formation and understanding that
they acquire of themselves are
factors which operate to develop
attitudes and behavior conducive
to healthy, happy and successful
living.
Schools alone however cannot
enable children to attain all the
desirable goals of individual and
community health. Considering
the magnitude and multitude of
the diverse and continuing efforts
that must be made to satisfy the
health needs of children, it is for-
tunate that many people and
groups, in addition to schools, are
greatly interested in promoting
health. Parents have a prime re-
sponsibility.
Physicians, dentists, nurses,
health officers, social and welfare
workers and their official organi-
zations, such as medical, dental
and nursing societies, health de-

With controversy raging over women’s current fashions, an his-
torical exhibit to show how Texas women have looked for the last 60
years has been assembled at the Hall of State, in Dallas, for the State
Fair and to continue through the winter. A gift of 12 miniature fig-
ures, in exact reproductions of Texas fashions since 1887, were pre-
sented by Arthur L. Kramer, left. Dallas civic leader, to Dr. Herbert
Gambrel!, right, director of the Dallas Historical Society. They are
seen above with two of the figures. The miniatures, made in collabora-
tion with the costume wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York, cover the fads of the wasp waist, the bustle, the Gibson
Girl, hobble skirt, rising skirts after World War I, the curveless flap-
per, the depression’s ankle-length skirts, and the modern 1947 cocktail
dress.

COLLEGE STATION — Leave
irysanthemum buds alone if
ur plants are the new hardy
rden varieties, says Miss Sadie
itfield. Texas A. and M. College
tension specialist in landscape
rdening.
The beauty of the varieties lies
the profusion of blossoms ra-
er than in the size of eacli in-
ridual flower, the specialist says,
le custom of trimming back the
ps of chrysanthemums to pro-
ce sturdy low-growing plants
ould be stopped at least 10 to
; weeks befoie flowers are ex
cted, though the time varies
th the variety.
The plants should be watered
iring dry weather, and if they
look weak and have light green
leaves, they are likely in need of
help. Miss Hatfield recommends
liquid manure or a feeding solu-
tion made of a heaping tablespoon
full of a complete fertilizer such
as 5-10-5 to a gallon of water. It
is more important to have a weak
fertilizer applied at frequent in-
tervals than a heavy one infre-
quently.

have planted some this fall. John-____________
ny and Kieth have 8 acres of Ma-
drid which will volunteer from last I
year’s crop and have planted an I
additional 20 acres. T. M. Lawson!
of the Smith Oaks conservation
group located about five miles'
east of Sherman, a neighbor of i
the Durhams, planted 20 acres re-
cently.
Madrid clover is an improved
variety of 2 year sweet clover. It
is more leafy and has a finer stem
than either the bienniel white or
bienniel yellow sweet clover. It, is
the recommendation of the soil
conservation service technicians
that farmers use caution in plant-
ing Madrid clover in the fall be-
cause it is subject to winter kill-
| ing in this section of the country,
however ,a number of cooperators
of the Upper Elm-Red soil con-
servation district have planted a
few acres as trial plots. Two hun-
dred pounds of 20% superphos-
phate per acres is recommended
and innoculation of the seed is
necessary.
G. W. Brown, Jr., of the Enter-
prise conservation group located
southwest of Pottsboro, has plant-
ed hairy vetch on approximately
30 acres of land which will even-
tually serve as waterways for ter-
races on 196 acres of cultivated
land. Gy planting Hairy Vetch the
fertility ui the land will be in-
creased before planting buffalo
and bermuda grass. Mr. Brown
also planted 7 acres to black me-
dic clover. He plans to combine
seed from this plot next spring for
use in overseeding all of his pas-
ture. Both the vetch and black me-
dic seed were innoculated and 200
pounds of 20% superphosphate
per acre was applied to the land
before planting.
Albert Brown also of the Enter-
prise conservation group planted
30 acres of hairy vetch. Mr.
Brown plans to harvest seed from
this area next. spring,
H. L. Terry of the J’lainview
conservation group located about
seven miles northwest of Sherman
has just completed planting 12
acres of hairy vetch pn land which
was previously cultivated but is
tiow being developed into improv-
ed pasture. Planting vetch to re-
store the organic matter and nitro-
gen to the soil is the first step
in Mr. Terry's plans to develop
the pasture. After the fertility of
the land is built up, buffalo grass
will be seeded.
After the bass grass of buffalo
is established the next step will be
Winter-Time Feeding
Something to Face
In a very short time, Texas
dairymen will be up against win-
ter-time feeding conditions.
Realizing what the feed situa-
tion is likely to he, many dairy-
men are looking for ways to avoid
the high-price slap that seems to
be coming.
Extension dairymen at Texas A.
and M. college, looking back over
the years they've seen dairy farm-
ers face the same situation, say
that a first and wise step will be
to see that each pound of feed i:
used to best advantage. Every
dairy heard of any size has some
cows that need culling out, be-
cause they won’t be producing
when the feed load is heaviest.
During the few weeks before
frost, there will be the opportun-
ity to put up more hay and sil-
age, and every pound of good
roughage will come in handy this
winter, the dairymen say. So,
between now and frost, a good
job of harvesting hay and silage
crops is No. 1 on the list of dairy
farming chores.
Because of dry weather, it is
! n«t possible to get enough small
j strain pastures planted in early
j September. This should not, how-
j ever, cancel all plans for planting
i winter grains, the dairymen say.
; The feed situation is such that
j planting through most of October
! will be worth the time and cx-
| pense. With costs as they are, $1
spent for small grain pastures
should return more than $16
worth of grazing.
