President Truman must be near-
ing a nervous breakdown. His ac-
tions in snubbing Gov. Strom Thur-
mond and wife and Gov. Fielding
Wright and wife when they saluted
him in the parade during his (Tru-
man’s) inauguration, was such a
disgraceful act as to astonish the
L 'world. But Truman seems to have
I no intention of changing his course,
r He even uses language in inter-
views, toward public men whom he
doesn’t like, which can not be sent
over the radio. For instance he re-
ferred to Drew Pearson as a s o. b.
What a man! What a president! A
back-alley tough wouldn’t call
another man a s. o. b. He would
know better, or receive a bloody
beating. Wonder what the rulers
of other nations think of cur Presi-
pent? Maybe they are becoming
disgusted with our ‘.‘democracy.”

a hard job on his hands.

BELTON, Feb. 25.—A slick lick I
with a new racket to sell chickens
brought in Bell County officers to-
day and resulted in the arrest of a
Kentucky man who was charged
with swindling.
Sheriff Buck Ray said The racket
was a new one that had recently
sprung up all over the state and he |
explained that the arrested man,
Keith Share, alias P. J. Gorman,
bought several lots of day-old cock-
rels from a Temple hatchery.
Then, according to the charge
filed against him, Share peddled
the baby chicks in eastern Beli
county, guaranteeing them to be 97
per cent pullets.
B. J. Patterson, a highway patrol-
man, arrested Share on information
furnished by Sheriff Ray.

Senator Morse, who voted twice
against the Taft-Hartley law, paid a
rare and merited tribute to one of
the authors of that legislation, Sena-
tor Taft, in declaring that the Ohio
senator exercised “fair-minded ob-
jectivity” toward asserted shortcom-
ings in the labor statute.
In a time when pressure minor-
ities ride herd over legislators who
truckle to such undemocratic in-
fluences, there seldom is the im-
partially objective approach to con-
troversial issues that is requisite to
sound legislation in the public in-
terest. Senator Taft upholds a sound
tradition in democratic government
which is far more important than
L the fortunes of any group.
Senator Taft’s attitude is parti-
Bcularly impressive in view of the
pressures by two extremes for labor
legislation. Senator Morse castigat-
ed one of them, all-out defenders of
the existing law. Another is the
j segment which would have none of
| the beneficent provisions of the
< Taft-Hartley law. Decent citizen-
ship has nothing but contempt for
men in public office who truckle to
minorities of any stripe and violate
the fundamental principle of gov-
£ eminent by the majority.

At Plano
The day I visited Allen I also cov-
ered a greater part of west Collin
1 County, “killing two birds with one
stone,” so to speak. I was lookingK,H■
- , after the interests of my fine boss, H . «
When our barque shall sail beyond George W. Smith, Jr., and attend-
c , mg to matters pertaining to the Red
: v^ross drive. At Plano I visited sev-
eral business people, among whom
5 were Lester Floyd, Arthur Bagwill,
Nathan White’s store, the A&P Gro-
cery and S. G. Carpenter. The lat-
■ ter accepted the chairmanship for
the local Plano Red Cross drive.
All Quiet at Renner x
Leaving Plano I went to Renner,
where I found things pretty quiet.
However, I did find J. C. Wells, Jr.,
at home. J. C. works nights for
the Greyhound Bus Lines in Dal-
las and I had to wake him from his
lest. But as “Jake” and I are good
friends, he forgave the intrusion. I
drove on to Frisco, stopping off at
Shepton to say “howdy” toMVlrs.
Brooks, and Mr; Malone, who
operate the two stores there. I also
stopped at Lebanon to “shake
hands” with John Gribble.
Progressive Frisco
Most of my time in Frisco was
spent with Tom Byrum, the Curt-
smgers’ Drug, Joe McIntire’s Clean-
ers, and J. B. Haun ^t Shady Grove
Grocery. J. B. Haun is chairman
for the Red Cross drive at Frisco,
now under way. Frisco citizens are
justly proud of their town and its
wide-awake citizens.
Must Have Been Fishing
People must have been “gone
fishing” or staying at home at Pros-
per. Wasn’t half a dozen people
downtown on the streets. CoukTn’t
even find U. N. Clary, the banker.
Of course it was a holiday (Feb. 22),
so I guess Uncas was waiting for the
fish to bite. I had a pleasant chat
with S. Johnson and Prof. Sam
Wysong. Sam told me that in spite
oi measles, bad weather, colds, flu,
school work was doing fine. Jack
Van Bevers- one of the able instruc-
tors in Prosper schools, was just
leaving when I arrived.
Busier at Benny’s Town
At Celina I found quite a few
people either shopping or working.
Ken Massey was very busy, having
just received a new car or two. How-
ard Logan came by and promised
to conduct the Red Cross drive at
Alla community. While in that busy
little city, I called at Bray’s Dry
Goods, Newsom’s Insurance agen-
cy and Nelson’s Cafe.
Hunting Oil
Folk at Weston are bending every
effort to get right-of-way in read-
iness for a hard surface road to be
built right through that thriving lit-
tle community. Willard Craighead,
with whom I talked, said he had dug
a mile- of post holes, moving fences,
etc. Roy Mayes and others had
been operating a tractor-driven post
hole digger all day. Laud Howell
was busy with a group who are
leasing land for oil and came in the
store while I vzas there. Mrs. How-
ell has been managing the store m
his absence. She and Mrs. Ro^
Mayes will conduct the Red Cross
drive in the Weston community.
Chambersville Visited
Returning to McKinney, I stop-
ped at the Chambersville store, but
found no one there. I called at the
home of Miss Faye Hudson, one of
the teachers of the school and ask-
ed that she conduct the Red Cross
activities in that community.

RUSSIAS DEADLY SPRAY
Mountain View, Calif., Feb. 23
'AP).—Russia may have the secret
of a Nazi - developed LIQUID
DEATH SPRAY potent enough to
wipe out WHOLE DIVISIONS of
men in the open, says’an American
officer who helped destroy the
, weapon.
But Germany didn’t use the spray

• lor the SAME REASON—it con-
taminates the area for too long a
■ period—in the opinion of Maj.
James M. Graham, a U. S. Army en-
gineer.
The two German scientists who
formulated the spray were in Berlin
when the Russians look over, and
more than likely were taken in hand
by the Soviets, Maj. Graham says.
Graham had charge of disposing
of the spray, named Tabun, after
the names of its two inventors. He
disclosed some of the details in a
Chamber cf Commerce speech at
San Jose. Graham now lives in
Mountain View.
Hidden stocks of Tabun—125,000
tons of it—were found by Ameri-
can intelligence officers in Bavarian
caves. Engineers built huge fires
m pits to destroy the liquid. They
poured it over the coals. Tabun
didn’t burn, but the
it harmless.
Graham described
nerve poison not
venom in its effect.
A spot
dropped on
man in two minutes unless wiped
off quickly. It would penetrate
some clothing, even some gas masks.
Tabun has such a faint odor it can
hardly be detected. The liquid was
a MILITARY SECRET until about
six months ago, when some infor-
mation leaked out. about it. About
! 1,000 tons of it was saved from
destruction and shipped to Aber-
deen, Md:. under the label of “chlor-
ine,” Maj. Graham says. But dock

Washington, Feb. 23 (^x —
President Truman and Commenta-
tor Drew Pearson were embroiled,
today in a new row touched off by
the President’s REMARK that he,
(Truman) would not let “any s. o'
b.” oust a member of his cabinet or
staff.
The chief executive delivered ’his
blast at a dinner honoring his mili-
tary aide ad long-time friend, Maj.
Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, who has1considerations
been a frequent target for criticism
from Pearson and others.
“I want you to distanctly under-
stand,” Mr. Truman told the gather-
ing. “that if any S. O. B. thinks he
can cause any of those people (cab-
inet or staff) to be discharged by
me, by some smart-aleck statement
over the air or in the paper, he has
got another think coming ”
Mr. Truman used the initials “S
O. B.”
Later the White House issued a
transcript oi the President’s re-
marks in which the word “anyone”
was substituted for “any S. O. B.”
Pearson immediately replied that
“if Mr. Truman is trying to dis-
courage the right of fair comment,
then he also has another think com-
ing.” (
“The men he has on his staff are
his business even though the tax-
payers have to foot the bill,” said
Pearson. “But when his staff mem-
bers accept medals from a military
dictator, whose principles our gov-
ernment has denounced, then it’s
the public’s business—and should
be Truman’s.
He referred to Vaughn’s recent
acceptance of a DECORATION
from the Argentine government.
In his program of Feb. 6 over the
American Broadcasting Co., Pear-
se had said:
“While we spend BILLIONS
ABROAD to help DEMOCRACY
and while President Truman has
spoken thousands of words about
SAVING DEMOCRACY, his mili-
tary AIDE partly nullifies this talk
—and MONEY—by accepting a
HIGH DECORATION from a mili-
tary DICTATOR who has RIDICUL-
ED all the things Truman talks
about.” |
References Obvious
Mr Truman did not mention
Pearson by name, but his refrerence
was obvious to guests at the dinner.
Earlier speakers had praised
Vaughn and had referred to the
criticism by the Washington com-
mentator and newspaper columnist.
It marked the second time within
a year that the President has as-
sailed Pearson. When the commen-
tator reported tha4 Mr. Truman had ‘
made a disparaging remark ab—L
the Jevzs, the President replied:
“I had thought I wouldn’t have to
add ANOTHER LIAR’S STAR to
that fellow’s crown, but I will have
to do it. . . .”
