New Armory Needed Here
A badly needed public improvement
that deserves a high priority rating: on Sul-
phur Springs’ list is a new armory.
Reports to the effect that such a build-
ing1 was in the frisking have been current'
in iocal National Guard circles for several
years, but nothing tangible has emerged
on the subject., Meanwhile the need con-
tinues to grow.
A modern armory would serve two
good purposes in Sulphtir Springs. It
would get the city’s active National Guard
unit out of its present inadequate head-
quarters and into surroundings which,
would enhance the organization’s effic-
iency andjts appeal for prospective new
recruits. Such a building also could be ar-
ranged to provide facilities for various
community events that cannot be handled
satisfactorily now because of lack of ac-
commodations.
It is no small job to* get an armory
project through the mill, hut it is a job
that can be done. New armory buildings
are going up in other Texas cities in steady
succession. Perhaps it is a case where Sul-
phur Springs needs to stop wishing and
start acting. '*■
views, try-wry hard to*strike an equitable
balance to give one party as much snace
and as much emphasis as the other, re-
gardless of editorial preferences involved.
Most editors feel a heavy responsibility to
attain this objective. This is especially
true during campaign years.
There, are a few papers, of course,
which do riant their reporting in the di-
rection of their own views, but it is dis-
tinctly unfair to indict an entire industry
and profession for the unethical conduct
of a few members. It would be just as
logical to say that all bankers, lawyers
and doctors are scoundrels because a
small minority of the members of these
professions go astray.
Standards of integrity in'the journalis-
tic field probably rank just as high as do
those of the other professions. Certainly
they are far and away above those in thiv
.realm of politics.

The Deeper Cleft
The Two Face* of Communism
A graphic demonstration of the two
faces of communism has taken place in
Britain in connection with the visits to that
country of two Soviet dignitaries.
First arrival was former Premier Mal-
enkov, who came with smiling face,
honeyed words and bearing gifts, Malen-
kov’s welcome was the warm one usually

Washington Letter...

A.P. STAFF WRITER *
Washington.—By keeping an ear cooked to the
goings-on at meetings of the Congressional Club,
where she is a maid, Manizer Hines picked up
some tips that helped get her elected to her own
ladies' lodge. . ■
\ She heard a speaker tell congressmen’s wives
how to act on the speakers’ platform, how to sit and
how to get up easily, gracefully and without
spreading the knees.
"When I used to get up. I just got up," Mani-

4-H Delegation Is Really
Important, Meets President

ly guests. , Britons liked him.. Normal
suspicions tended to dissolve.
A few days later there arrived in Lon-
don another emissary of Soviet Russia.
His mission was ft. different one and his
presence brought a chill that spread even
to the warm atmosphere being created by
Malenkov.
Visitor' No. 2 was Ivan Serov, chief of
Russia’s dread secret police. Serov’s as-
signment was peaceful enough. He came
to coordinate security arrangements with
Scotland Yard for the approaching visit
to Britain of Russia’s two top leaders.
Communist Party Secretary Nikita Khru-
schehev and Soviet^remier Bulganin.
Serov’s appearance, however, came as
an abrupt reminder to Britons that com-
munism in its present phase has two faces.
One is smiling, speaking for peace and
bearing gifts. The other is the grim face
of the Soviet terror: Where one appears.1
the otherTrivariably is not far behind.

ambassador of Colombia, says she and her husband
love parties and expect to be very hippy in Wash-

and find -this town to be among the gayest.
The ambassador has been in the diplomatic
seivice 10 years, is the son of a former diplomat
and was brought tip in Paris and Switzerland. He
has seen service in Belgium, Argentina, Vene-
zuela and for two years before coming here was
head of his country’s delegation to the United
Nations.

Unfair Accusation
Paul Butler, chairman of the Democra-
tic National Committee, was repeating an
old and slightly tipie-worn theme song in
his recent assault upon the nation’s news-
papers as a “one party press,” The same
charges have been repeated at regular in-
tervals for at least 20 years..
If Mr. Butler had confined his remark*
to the field of editorial policy, his com-
plaint might have been legitimate. Edi-
torials are by nature expressions of opin-
ion. Newspapers have a right to their
opinions as much as do individuals. It is
~,a right confirmed by the Constitution of
the United States. Newspaper opinion
has been on the Republican side in recent
years simply because most editors have
preferred candidates and platforms pre-
sented by this party to the more radical
offerings of the Democrats.
Mr. Butler does not stop with the
question of editorial support, however.
He delivered a blanket indictment of the
.. nation’s press on charges of distorting po-
litical reporting to favor the candidates
’•being supported.
From, widespread study of this ques-
tion. we are eonvmced Mr. Butler is on
extremely shaky ground in his accusation.
Most newspapers/ whatever their political

TT/ASHINGTON — (NEA) — The big drive to lighten President
* Eisenhower's burdens is not going to make him w hermit
This was proved the other day when he received a delegation
of Six 4-H Club national award winners They, were three farm
boys and three galsj—scrubbed, corn-fed and good lookin
Angela Heine of Ellendaie, N D, and Franklin McKay of Clayton.
N M achievement winners Ann Guindon of Plankinton, S D., and
Eldon’ Rebhorn of Oswego, III., leadership winners Nellie McClure
of Cleveland. Tenn., and William C Thiesenhuscn of Muskegd, Wise ,
citizenship winners
They presented the President with a picture book on the accom-
plishments of 2,100,000 4-H (Head, Heart, Hand & Health) teen-age
members ^
The President shook hands with all six and asked what studies
they were majoring in, *
They were photographed with the President—the boys well in the
background, the gals front and center All over in 10 minutes.
NOW THIS IS significant news Originally, when Department
of Agriculture was arranging this year's 4-H convention program
m Washington, this event was. booked for Gov Sherman Adams,
The Assistant to The President.
When this got out, a number of people said, “Oh, oh! There are
going to be some mighty disappointed 4-H clubbers.”
In the past, presidents have always received them.
Though Agriculture Department people shook their heads sadly
over this come-down, they didn't try to do anything about it But
when President Eisenhower went over the list of White House
visitors for the week, he spotted this 4-H delegation und said simply,..
“1 want to see them "
So Gov. Adams got cut out of the job and the picture.
THERE ARE A FEW pet groups which the President has a per-
sonal interest in He’s crazy about farm kids, in particular
These he intends to keep on seeing, in spite of doctors’ orders
that he cut down on unnecessary chores.
So if you want to know who’s important around here, in the fu-
ture. all you have to do is watch the list of people the President
gets-photographed with.
' If you don’t rate, you’ll get farmed out on one of the White
House assistants Which one will depend on who's free at the time
If you're a nationa! champion—Railroad Man of the Year, Truck
Driver of the Year—you'll probably get your picture taken with
Vice President Richard M Nixon.
If you're just a shade under, you'll get Gov Adams, who’s taking
on rooreandroore of these ceremonial jobs.__________
ITS ADAMS, the dry New Fmglander, who’s going to spin a
wheel of fortune to pick this year’s Washington Cherry Blossom
Festival Queen.
President Eisenhower has never picked or received a beauty
queen, by the way, unless the task was forced on him at some
out-of-town ceremony where he didn't control the program.
When Gov Adams is all tied up and doesn't have time to be
photographed receiving a grand champion turkey or a first prize
cherry pie sent to the White House, this honor is passed on to one
of the assistants to The Assistant.
That would be Deputy Assistant Wilton B Porsons or Assistant
to the Deputy Assistant, Homer H Gruenther Or somebody else.
It's all done in the interests of relieving the President of unneces-
sary burdens It’s all right, as long as nobody goes away mad, and
it doesn't lose any votes.
