UNITED NATIONS:
Fights Aggression
There are moments in the march
of current events that make his-
tory. In the eyes of many political
observers such a moment oc-
curred recently when Secretary
General of the United Nations,
Trygve Lie, picked up the three by
five-foot blue and white UN flag
and handed it to Warren R. Austin,
chief U. S. delegate to the UN. and
asked him to send it to General
Douglas MacArthur.
The Security Council had Just
authorized the UN flag be flown
alongside national standards in op-
erations against the Red Korean
invaders.
And as he handed the flag to Aus-
tin, he said:
"Bring it back when the job is
done."
On these words hinge the hopes
of the free world. Observers saw
in them a belief that the United
Nations effort ia Korea will be
successful and at last a world or-
ganization has been formed that
will endure and protect the minori-
ties for generations to come.
Observers were particularly im-
pressed because it climaxed firm
and positive action by the commun-
ity of nations to secure world
peace.
Up to this point the United Na-
tions had;
(1) Demanded the withdrawal of
Communist invaders from South
Korea.
(2) Quickly endorsed the United
States action of sending aid to
South Korea and called upon all
members of the United Nations to
render assistance to carry out the
police action against the Commu-
nists.
(3) Appointed General MacAr-
thur commander of international
forces in Korea.
The historic flag which Lie hand-
ed to Ambassador Austin was the
one that flew over the headquarters
of Dr. Ralph Bunche during his
successful mediation of the Arab-
Israeli war. It is the visible symbol
of the first military sanctions ever
levied against an aggressor by a
world organization.

THAT SMELL:
Not The Russians
Four towns in Illinois and three
in Iowa provided the nation with a
chuckle, but it was not funny at
the time at least to residents of
those towns.
A foul smell crept through Mo-
line, East Moline, Selvis and Rock
Island, 111., and then spread across
the border into Muscatine, Betten-
dorf and Davenport, Iowa.
Some residents went into hyster-
ics, one man insisted to Selvis po-
lice that "the Russians are flying
over and gassing us," citizens were
forced from their beds and from
taverns, police switchboards were
jammed with calls and firemen kept
on a near-emcrgcncy basis. Scores
of Moline residents jumped into
their cars and drove in their night
clothes to high ground and fresher
air.
When the excitement died down
Investigation disclosed the odor re-
sulted from a leak in a tank of ental-
■ rm being hauled through the area
on a truck headed west. Entalarm
is an ordorant used to inject a
smell Into natural gas. normally
odorless, to permit detection of
leaks. It is not injurious but can
cause nausea.
REORGANIZATION:
New Plan Killed
President Truman's plan to cre-
ate a new department of health,
education and security has been
killed by the house. It was, inci-
dentally, the first time this session
the house has rejected a reorgani-
zation plan. The senate has killed
six.
The house adopted. 2-t!) to 71, a
resolution of disapproval of the
measure. It was killed apparently
by opponents who argued it would
be a step toward "socialized medi-
cine."
Democrats who supported the
plan, however, denied it had any
bearing on socialized medicine.
Tiny said only congress could
biing this nbout by passing neces-
sary legislation.
RETAIL PRICES:
Up Another Notch
The Korean situation was not the
only worry of Americans during the
past week or so. Living costs went
up another notch with the prices of
meat and bread being increased in
letail stores.
Cocoa, coffee, sugar, hide* and
t<ii continued upward, cotton soared
to SIS • bale, and cattle want to the
hijkfil price level in a year. It is
•II blamed on Ute Korean war, but
other factors entered In.
The blue and white flag of
the United Nations has been
aent to Korea to be flcwn by
troops battling the Communist
Invaders from North Korea.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur baa
been named commander In
cblef of the United Natlona
forces.
KOREA:
The Tide Flows
Military observers, still watch-
ing the Soviet Union for any signs
of open participation in the Korean
war, were of the opinion the tide
has begun to flow—against the ag-
gressors.
During the first two weeks of the
conflict South Korean and Ameri-
can troops, acting under orders of
the United Nations, took a beating.
But as the battle went into the
third week. American arms—guns,
tanks and planes—and U.S. soldiers
stemmed the rush of the Commu-
nist armies.
At a point some 50 to 60 miles
south of Seoul, capital of South
Korea which fell into the hands of
the invaders a few days after the
sneak attack. American and Com-
munist troops met.
At first American troops were
forced to withdraw before Red
tanks. And at the moment when it
seemed the invaders might break
through again, U. S. big guns and
tanks, plus fresh foot soldiers
poured into the area. The attack
was stopped and many observers
believe the counter attack will
come as the stream of supplies in-
crease.
A big factor in the blunted Com-
munist attack was the U. S., Brit-
ish and Australian air forces.
Fighters and bombers carried out
continuous attacks upon tanks,
roads, and bridges. They ripped
open Communist positions with
low flying rocket and machine gun
attack. The big bombers blasted
away at supply lines and commun-
ication centcrs. Their blows were
felt by the invaders and will spear-
head the inevitable countcr attack.
Meanwhile, American divisions
within the United States were be-
ing readied to move to the Far
East. General MacArthur had. at
the beginning of the conflict, four
divisions in Japan. He has already
drawn upon them and troops with-
in the country will replace those
from Japan plus reinforcements
for the battle area.
TRUTH CAMPAIGN:
Counteract Propaganda
For years Communist propagan-
da has been spread around the
world, but no one seems to know
just how much of the story of de-
mocracy has reached the enslaved
peoples of the world. Now the state
department has announced plans
for "a great campaign of truth" to
counter Moscow's broadsides of
propaganda against the United
States and other democratic na-
tions.
Secretary of State Acheson told
■bout the plan in testimony before
a senate foreign-relations subcom-
mittee. General Eisenhower also
testified before the committee, de-
claring "Truth could almost be
classified as our T-bomb (truth-
bomb) in this warfare."
General Marshall, who also testi-
fied, said he is firmly convinced
that "we must confine ourselves to
the truth" and that we must meet
the Soviet procedure in what is
ci.lled their conquest of the minds
of people.
Acheson told the senators the
Communist campaign of vilification
"jeopardizes the security of the
United States and is a threat to the
security of the free world."
"The cynical aggression of com-
munism in Korea, and the false-
hoods that have preceded and ac-
companied It. make inescapably
clear the importance of the cam-
paign of truth." he said.
MAiyivnrrR;
Draft in Effect
The recently enacted draft taw
has been put into effect. President
Truman ordered an expansion of
the fighting forces in view of the
Korea situation through enlistment
or the draft.
Immediately after the President's
order, spokesmen tor the army,
navy and air force said they would
be happy to get all their required
manpower through enlistments
alone if possible. Whether or not
enlistments will fill the armed
forces needs will be determined
within the next two weeks.
Just how much the armed forces
will be expanded has been kept se-
cret. Presumably it could run as
high as 547,482 men, bringing the
services to 2,003,882.
There is also the possibility that
reserves will be called up, although
spokesmen for the services said
none will -be ordered to duty at
present without their consent.
A spokesman lor the Pentagon
said the enactment of the draft
law was necessary to meet "the
situation in Korea," and "consti-
tutes a first step to build up to full
operating strength the units of the
army, navy and air force to be
used in the Korean operation, to
provide further maintenance and
support therefor, and to replace
units to be moved to Korea."
Just how far the United States
wili go in building up its forces de-
pends entirely upon developments
in the Far Kast and other danger
points, military observers report-
ed.
RAILROADS:
Strike and Crash
Two items of railroad news were
in the public mind, one bad and
one good.
The A F L switchmen's union
agreed to end its strike against
four midwest and western railroads.
The fifth continued its walkout, but
leturncd to wark after President
Truman ordered the army to take
over.
The switchmen made no bones
about why they were calling off
the strike. As they put it, we are
calling it off "because of the threat
of direct government action."
Truman had scored again. The
day before he had told his weekly
press conlcrence at Washington
that the union had better halt the'
strike or else. Evidently the union
didn't like that "or else."
On the bad side, two high speed
| Santa Fe railway streamliners,
| streaking eastward side by side,
; one traveling at, 90 miles an hour
1 and the other seventy, bumped
midsections in a freakish accident.
Nine dead and 75 injured were
carried from the twisted metal
cars in the Illinois collision.
JUMPING JACK:
Sets Chute Rccord
Sgt. John (J u m ping Jack)
Sweitch set out to break the world's
record parachute leaps in a single
day, which he did with 107 drops.
If he proved anything else it was
the fact the human body will take
a lot of punishment and that some
people seem to get pleasure out of
risking their necks.
The sergeant, with the aid of his
buddies of the B2nd Airborne Divi-
sion, made 107 drops in 10 hours,
an average of one every six minutes.
He twisted his ankle and
sprained his knee on the 51st jump
and slowed down long enough to
have his leg taped. After each
jump, a jeep and a pickup truck
met him. The jeep rushed him
back to the Piper Cub plane which
took him aloft again, while the
truck took his chutes to the hangar
where his six buddies were kept
busy repacking them.
The sergeant's only complaint
during the endurance test was he
; would be all right "if he could sur-
vive the jeep rides."

Great Man's Faith
Lesson for July 30, 1950
NO MAN Is too busy to serve God.
He may think he is, but the
cxcuse will not stand. There are
too many busy men who do serve
God. One of the most famous men
in history is a shining example.
If ever a King was
"too busy" to at-
tend to religion,
David would have
been the man. His
kingdom was a new
one, cemented to-
gether from tribes
that had been at
one another's
throats not so long
before. He was sur-
rounded by enemies who kept him
at war most of the time. He was
commander-in-chief of the army,
chief Justice of such courts as there
were, chief executive in civic af-
fairs; and furthermore, the times
were not "normal" but turbulent
in the extreme. Still he had time for
religion. He led in that as in every-
thing else.
• • •
Public Religion
THE first thing he did as king was
to conquer the "unconquerable"
city of Jerusalem, which had been
in enemy hands for hundreds of
years. And the next thing he did
was to bring the Ark to Jerusalem
and settle it there, making Jerus-
alem not only the civil but the re-
ligious capital of the nation.
In an almost spectacular way
the king made himself sponsor
for the organized religion of hi*
people. For centuries before
David, the Ark and all the for-
mal worship that went with it
had been stuck off In minor
towns, Inaccessible and unpopu-
lar, In fact disregarded by most
of the people, as the book of
Judges shows.
Now David, by bringing the Ark
to Jerusalem and selecting for it a
site on the city's highest hill, made
Sure that in his realm religion
would never be an obscure thing.
Sometimes we hear people say. "I
believe In Christianity but not in
the church." That is like saying "I
believe in Justice but not in the
courts." "I believe in love but not
in marriage." "I believe in educa-
tion but not in schools."
i David knew that if organized,
public religion has to hide in holes
and corners, it will not only lose
respect, but people will soon forget
all about it. The Ark was not an
idol; neither is the Church. But if
the Ark then, and the Church now.
do anything else for religion, at
least thev keep it out where people
can't help knowing about it.
• a •
Private Religion
DAVID knew, as some of his suc-
cessors did not. that public wor-
ship is not the whole of religion. His
personal relationships* were con-
trolled by his religious faith.
Take the case of Mephiboshcth
(chap. 9) for instance. If David
had followed the usual pattern, he
would have had poor Mephibosheth
beheaded before breakfast. For the
young man was the one remaining
grandson (so far as we knew then)
of David's bitter enemy. King Saul.
In those days yeu always
went on the principle that If a
man was your enemy, so were
all his relatives. It was general-
ly true, loo; and under the cus-
toms of thoae day* Mephiben-
heth might have been expected
to plan revenge, sooner or later,
for his grandfather's and fath-
er's deaths.
David did not let him sink Into
obscurity but gave him what we
would call a pension, a princely
one too, treating him as if he were
one of his own family.
• • •
The Inner Life
WELL, religion has Its outside
but it also has its inside. Pub-
lic worship and loving your neigh-
bors are not the root of religion hut
Its fruit. The roots of it are deep
within the soul. And David had !hat
true faith whirh comes from within.
He was humble, not proud, as
Psalm <4 shows, (.real king
though he was, he knew there
I* only one King of tilory. He
was confident, as every leader
must be: but his ronfldence
wss based not on him-elf but
on his God. (II Mam. 22. which
Is re-wrltten aa Psalm IS.)
And when David sinned, as he
shamefully did, he did not make
excuses for himself or sink with
easy satisfaction Into his worst self.
If to be * saint is to be without sin.
then David was no saint (and you
are one') But If being a saint
means that in spite of sin one

of experience that Psalm 51 records,
then David wa* a man after God's
own heart
