The Military Ghosts
No one would want to rob two old
army campaigners, President Eisenhower
anti Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery,
of the pleasure of tramping around the
fabled Civil War battlefields at Gettys-
^or could anyone really deny them the
i of commenting, as professional
on the strategy and tactics used
ion and Confederate commands
in that tragic slaughter.
But as they walked and talked, they
seemed oddly unmindful of the bitter
irony of their little foray into the past.
For the truth is that they and the kind of
armies and tactics they knew in World
War II are as out of date today as they
appear to believe Generals George Meade
and Robert E. Lee were in 1863.
Perhaps the quiet of the fielda where
Mr. Eisenhower and his British guest
roamed was occasionally shattered by the
roar of Air Force jets sweeping the skies.
A few years ago one might have called
that sound prophetic of tomorrow**- war-
fare. Yet today it is almost obsolete it-
self.
In another war there will be no pis-
ton-engined aircraft such as did the stra-
tegic bombing and provided the air cover
in the war Ike and Monty knew. Indeed,
all piloted military aircraft may soon be
outmoded. We are entering the age of
the pilotless plane, the rocket, the long-
range guided missile.
No more will generals have the luxury
of’time Montgomery had to make massive
preparations for attack, pulverizing en-
emy positions with artillery before he
inched forward to new ground.
No more, indeed, will generals likely
have the chance Ike had to weigh and
weigh and weigh the right moment to
storm hostile beaches with a great water-
borne force. In fact, most experts hazard
that never again will there be a landing
from the sea by a mass army.
Electronics and nuclear energy are
transforming warfare as other advances
have done before. The generals who must
fight it—and the whole world hopes they
never do—may find it only a handicap
to remember too much of World War II.
As men, Mr. Eisenhower and Marshal
Montgomery are very much alive. But
the two old generals who strode through
the soft grass at Gettysburg were wan-
dering in the pages of history only a few
broad strides behind Generals Lee and
Meade.

Washington.—Wealthy widower Edgar Morris,
in a perfunctory way, hai shaken many a bigwig's
hand over the years as the capital’s official greet-
er. The soft, tapering hand of a California widow
got more personal attention.
Morris, a popular socialite civic leader, long
a target of local hostesses, designed a diamond
ring especially appropriate for the third finger
of the left hand of Mrs. Delbert 0. Slater of Los
* Angeles, who hae been a Washington visitor on
and off ovar the past year. Ha slipped it on her
finger “during the processional” of a Sunday
church service. She flashed It prominently later
at a huge cocktail party. The marriage, they said,
would take place in the fall.
“He’s really very clover and nrtistic,” enthus-
*ed the bride-to-be as she willingly pulled off her
•(long white kid glove to show me the sparkler.
"You see my second finger and my little fin-
■ ger are unusually thin,” she added, spreading out
jher hand. “He designed the ring with the big
diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds to sort
of fill in the gaps. How many men would think
of such a detail?”
I ask you, how many men would have the
money?

THE TAXIS OF THE
Dutourd. Translated from
King. Simon and Schuster..
In June, 1940, Dutourd joined the army, took
part in the chaotic ratreat, wandered around foot-
loose and not too unhappy, and surrendered su-
pinely.
Then he snapped out of his unmartial lethargy,
escaped, served with the Resistance, was caught,
sentenced to die, escaped again—to write several
books like “A Dog’s Head” and “The Best But-
ter” and now this about which the French have
argued furiously and which will certainly be dis-
cussed in this country.
Why, he demands, did France live up to his-
torical destiny in 1914 and fuii wretchedly in
1040? He matches the stories his proud father
told about Verdun against his own shameful ex-
periences and those of a million and a half coun-
trymen when, at 20, ha put on the uniform —
ihmueful, wretched and the like are his adjectives.
His answer is envenomed, full of hatred and,
to me, confusing. He is still the brilliant aphor-
iat How can w* not agree when he says France
inspires a love that amounts to passion? Yet
how can he diminish this fatherland he loves by
claiming for it mainly that “Napoleon had once
and for all placed France above other nations.”
That victory was won not by Bonaparte but by
Montaigne, Rabelais, Poussin, Lully, Montesquieu,
and also by later men of whom he speaks slight-
ingly. His idol was and is de Gaulle — who was
Malraux’s, also.
But read it yourself. Dutourd is a wonder-
fully angry man who fires you to the boiling point
with his sizzling hot polemic.

Fort Worth. Oh— Students at
Texas Christian University who
have to work their wny through
school get a most sympathetic
hearing from the new dean of
the Graduate School. He’s been
there himself.
In 1943, James M. Moudy was
an undergraduate ministerial stu-
dent. working as a dormitory
janitor, busboy in a nearby cafe-
teria, and, in spare moments, a
redhot trumpeter in the univer-
sity band.
Now, as Dr. Moudy, he is com-
pleting his first semester as dean
of the TCU Graduate School.
A lot of things happened in
between, including a Phi Beta
Kappa key at Duke University,
a tour in Europe as a U. S. Army
chaplain and a four-year assign-
ment as academic dean of Atlan-
tic Christian College.
Although he lived many years
in Washington, D. C., where he
attended high school, Dr. Moudy
ia a native itexan. He was bom
in Harlingen in 1916 and later
lived in Greenville.
For six years he worked in
Washington as a government em-
ploye by day add a professional
musician at night. Then came a
firm decision to enter the minis-
try and in 1939, when he was
23, he entered TCU.
On Campus, he took on doz-
ens of odd jobs to meet expens-
es, yet found time for the or-
chestra, dramatics — and for
courting the former Lucille I.aU-
ritzen of Fort Worth, now Mrs.
Moudy.
He took his B. A. degree in
1943, won his 11. D. from TCU’s
Brite College in 1949 while serv-
ing as assistant minister of Uni-
versity Christian Church in Fort
Worth. He was also minister of
the A. A M. Christian Church
in College Station for a while.
In 1950 he started his doctoral
work at Duke, held the Kearns
Fellowship in Religion, graduat-
ed with highest honora and his
Phe Beta Kappa key in 1953.
After four years at Atlantic
Christian College, he returned to
TCU aa Graduate School dean
early thia year.

Eisenhower ad-
Examiners Say
Hoxsey Shares
Clinic Profits
Dallas, May 29 l.ti—The state
board of medical examiners
claims that Dallas naturopath,
Harry Hoxsey, will continue to
share in profits of his cancer clin-
ic. although he lias leased it.
The board is seeking an injunc-
tion to restrain Hoxsey from
practicing medicine in Texas and
to lmr lum from advertising his
treatment.
The injunction hearing is
scheduled August 20th in 13th
district court in DhIIhs.
Defense attorneys for Hoxsey
contend that the Dallas naturo-
path is no longer connected with
the clinic and that he is planning
to devote his time to the Hoxsey
oil company.
Washington—(NEA)—Secretary of Commerce
says most of the reported business criticism of the
ministration is exaggeration.
After his return to Washington from the Hot Spring*, Va», meet-
ing of the government’s Businas* Advisory Council, Woeks declared:
*T didn’t hear any criticism of the Eisenhower program down there,
either on or off the record.”
One of the principel function* of the Businese Advisory Council
ia to enable business leaden to tell the government what economic
policies they think it should follow.
The meeting was attended by nearly 100 business leaden.
Included in the Council membenhip are such men as Ralph J.
Cordiner of General Electric, Harlow H. Curtice of General Moton,
Crawford H. Greenwalt of Du Pont and othen.
There was a session on peaceful uses of atomic energy- Weeks
reported to the memben on Department of Commerce matters. Dep-
uty Secretary of Treasury Randolph Burgess and Federal Reserve
Board Chairman William McChesney Martin reported on fiscal policy.
There was a general session on the business outlook.
The subject which seemed of most concern to the BAC group
was the current wage-price-profit squeeae. Thia is not n government
issue, but a private business policy matter entirely.
A special BAC coihmittee reported on the effects of wage in-
creases made faster than productivity increases warranted. This was
reported to be a major inflationary factor in today's economy.
BAC recommended that the government should not move too
fast on its own wage increases.
On this point, says Weeks, the government is not the pacesetter.
In fact, only in the past year has the government caught up with
private industry on such things aa health insurance, unemployment
benefits and pensions. On wage levels, the government is considerably
behind private industry.
Weeks recognizes that organisations like the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers have been
highly critical of the Republican administration.
This applies particularly to the budget and government. He says,
however, that: “They just haven’t studied the picture. They don’t
understand the implications.’’
He points to a Public Opinion Research poll for further evidence
of his contention that criticism of the Eisenhower program is con-
siderably exaggerated.
One question was: “Do you approve of the manner in which
the Eisenhower administration is proceeding?” Last October 59 per
cent said “Yes." In March 61 per cent said “Yes.”
Tlie breakdown was most significant, the secretary believes. It
showed 2D per cent of the Democrats approving last October and 42
per cent approved now.
The four-point drop in Republican support was more than made
up for by the 13-point increase in Democratic approval and the eight-
point increase among the independents.

entered the office the officer told
Beauchamp to take off his rain-

Beauchamp was puzzled but
followed orders.
The officer then pulled out an
application blank and asked if the
man was any relations to Commis-
sioner Beauchamp.
The commissioner a n s w e r ed
that he was the commissioner.
Oh, said the officer.
