COLLEGE OR A JOB?
This year about 48,000 white boys and girls are graduating
from high school in Texas. About thirty per cent of them will
go to college. The others may wish they could go ond worry
later about what they might have accomplished if they had
gone. '
It is a very expensive mistake to think that every boy ond
girl must go to college Many sacrifices hove been,made by
parents who did not go to college to make sure that their
children could go. Boys and girls who work their way through
college usually get 0"lot more out of it than those who ore in
"the country club fringe" of the campus. Many boys and girls
would be far better off to get a job right ofter graduation
from high school. ;
The trend in modern business is undoubtedly towards col-
.IfijjftJtKvgu**gr-F -vbatMAflgazine conducted a poll of- opinion
to select the fifty leading Business men of ^America ini 917
and repeated the performance thirty years later. In the first
group college educotion was rare and many of them never
finished high school. In the 1947 group,1 thirty-eight of the
fifty are college men This clearly shows thot a university
degree means much more now in getting to the top than it
did a generation ogo Hpwever, personal * ability and hard
work are still more important in getting promotions than col-
lege education. ’ - T’’"
At a testimonial dinner in New York seyeital years ogo,
speakers praised a great industrialist who ,had come to
America from Scotland and made a success without an edu-
cotion "What might this man have'been if he had been edu-
cated3" asked one speaker When the great man responded,
he said that when he was 18 years old, he was an assistant
sexton in a "cemetery The sexton died and the church elders
would not give the boy the job because he could not read
Latin inscriptions on the tombstones, so he came to America
and started a bicycle shop which gre<v into on automobile
factory "If I hod been educated," he said, "I would now be
the sexton of a cemetery in Scotland."
College education is fine if mixed with a lot of work and
pluck But business men ore a little tired of bochelors of arts
who can't spell ond doctors of philosophy who don't know
the multiplication table.
"The real function of a school is to give the student help,
or equipment, to explore a part of the great field of human
knowledge," said President John T. Kennedy of Benjamin
Franklin University, Washington, D. C., recently. "The ex-
ploration must come ofter the student leaves school. Many
men with only a little schooling hove become well -educated."
He tells the story of the old Negro woman who said, "If yo'
ain't qot no schoolin' yo' just have to use yo' brains "
Self education is the best education—-Hubert M Har,rison.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Editor, Graham Leader:
I am enclosing check for sub-
scription to your paper. I am an
old timer from Graham having,
lived there from the time I was
four years old until 1941, when I
came to stay with my widowed
sister. —
I am now 72 years old and I
learned to read from the Graham
Leader. I always enjoy the paper
to much; it‘i jtiat like a letter
from home. I especially enjoy your
Twenty-Five and Fifty Years Ago
The United States uses as much
sawtimber at all the rest of the
world, and uses two-fiftha aa much
of all woods aa the rest of the
world. The forests are called on
for about 200 cubic feet per capita
—about six times as much per
pita as is used in western Eu-
G
items; as I was married in Graham
52 year last February 20.
Well, here’s hoping yojj^howl-
■ing success with your pa}>er.*And'
thank you.

Brown wood, Texas
The haphazard cuting of treee
with no- plan or thought for the
future invariably results Ui the de-
terioration of die woods, both hi
quality and value. Often only the
rapid-growing, straight trees are
cut because they have a high mar-
ket value. Many of these should be
to develop into high-grade
timber. The less desirable tress
should b# cut.
'In 1947, lumber consumption in
Texas amounted to approshaately
I'a billion board feet, of which
60 per cent was derived from
within the state and 40 per cent
imported.

'VOTE PANHANDLE'?
There are a couple of refreshing notes in the comment of
Ben H Guill of Pompa, Texas, on being the first Republican
congressman elected from Texas in 20 years
One is his hope thot his election will be taken in Washing-
ton os at least "one small protest" against some’ current
trends The other is his hope thot it may be the beginning of
o two-party system in Texas
We hope, though, thot he does not mean oil that may seem
to be implied bv .his further declaration, "I'm not going to
vote Republican or Democratic—I'm going to vote Pan-
handle."
As an avowal ^f irvdependery-.e that is- fina, but os a -per-^ LEe Chmese quota for white per-
haps unconseiOus'expression of localism it is dangerous.
Too many other representatives gnd senators olreody have
been vdting with easy disregard of fhe interests pf the United
States They have not always remembered in Congress even
the platform pledges of their party.
There has been too much tendency simply to vote Mis-
souri Valley, Wabash Valley, Pocific Northwest, cotton
states, silver states, New England, Chesapeake Bay, Ten-
nesee, Arizona, Grond River, Pamlico County, Fly Creek,
Horseshoe Cove, or Chippewa Falls.
This con amount in the aggregate to a very insidious and
miurious "panhondlinq" ot the expense of vital national
undertakings As momfested not only in the recent rivers and
harbors bill but in other sectional legislation, the argument
to "keep money at home" Can result in boondoggling while
the world burns.
We hope the gentlemon from Texas will not merely "vote
Panhandle," but—trite though it may sound—will vote
American, and will on occasion even vote os if the world were
his constituency 'which in a measure, it is).—Christion

Washington News Letter
By Congressman Ed Gossett
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26
—In a newsletter of sometime ago
I promised to tell you of at least
one reason why our China policy
was not successful.
Today's newspaper carries a
story that a Senate Committee has
called upon Secretary of Commerce
Sawyer to fire Michael J. Lee,
(real name Leiberman) chief of the'
Department’s Far Eastern Divi-
sion. This man Lee is a Rfissian
Jew who was born in Harbin, Man-
churia. He was reared by a Chinese
communist family, ■his foster,fath-
er, in fact, being a Chinese Am-
bassador to Moscow. Lee came to
this country^ in 1934 or 1936 under.
sons. Three, times he was refused
American naturalization. However,
in 1941, he did secure his naturali-
zation papers. In 1943, Henry Wal-
lace, then Secretary of Commerce,
gave Michael Lee a big job and
placed him In charge of the Far
Eastern Division desk in the Com-
merce Department. No material
could be shipped to China without
an export license approved and
granted by said Lee. Last year,
China’s Nationalist Military Mis-
sion in this country bought from
the City Service Company, and
paid for in American dollars, a
large quantity of aviation gaao-
line. When they called on Lee for
an export license, he demanded de-
tails on ships, planes, and other
vital military information. He kept
the Chinese Generals waiting for
months until he drained out of
them every bit of data he could,
which presumably he sent to the
communists. He then finally denied
item an export license entirely.
Mr. Lee’s record in Commerce
reminds me of the record of the
late Harry Dexter White, Econom-
ics professor who was Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury under
Morganthau. White’s name had
been changed from Weiss. He too,
was of Ruasian-Jewish ancestry
According to incontrovertible evi-
dence gathered by the House Com-
mittee on Un-American Activities,
he was n big cog in the Hiss-
Chain be rs-Communist group. Dr.
White, alias Weiss, was the father
of the so-called Morgenthau plan,
announced about a year before the
war waa over. The Morgenthau
plan aa you ream, was aa an-
thet we weald insist
ad the
Germans and would pee to It that
Germany was reduced to a pastoral
country. The Morgenthau plan un-
doubtedly prolonged the war many
months and his been a big reason
why we have thus far been unable
to win the peace. We are now try-
ing to rebuild German factories
which we helped destroy pursuant
to the Morgenthau plan. ,
This week many papers carried
a story of the arrest in Philadel-
phia of one Harry Gold who ad-
mits being a collaborator - of the
Britisher, Fuchs, in supplying
atomic secrets to thp Russians.
Harry Gold’s name was" Golondit-
sky—-doubtless—also of ■ Rusainn-
Jewish lineage.
I.et’s not blame the Jews for
this perfidious record. Most Amer-
ican Jews, like most of us, are good
citizens. Russian Jews are of a
different breed. Moat Russian Jews
are non-Semitic and have little or
no Hebrew blcod in them. They
are of Mongolian origin. This,
however, ia too long a story to
relate at thia time.
My biggest objection to the ex-
tension of the DP Act is that it is
being done primarily to facilitate
the admiaaion to this country of
many thousands of Russian Jew*
who came from behind the iron
curtain and into our DP camps,
with the connivance of the com-
munist governments, one year aft-
er the war was over.
Reports of progress in collabor-
ating with Atlantic Pact Nations
is estremely encouraging. How-
ever, there are many obstacles to
our making a real democratic ally
out of Western Germany. Ffrat,
is the1 Morgenthau plan above
mentioned. Secondly, is the old
problem of the French hatred and
suspicion of the German people,
and their reluctance to agree to
the actual rehabilitation of Ger-
many. Again, some tactless Amer-
icans have left the impression
with the German people that we
would not try to atop the Russians
abort of the Rhine. Intelligent Ger-
man* probably aay to themselves:
“if we are to be abandoned to tho
Russians immediately, perhaps we
should have a communist party
card in our pockets.’’
