The Lilienthal

,( -i Despite their ordeal by fury, the confirmation of Chair'man Lilienthal and his associates on the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission surprised no one. Last week's test vote had demonstrated that a numerical (not political) majority of the .'Senate could not be brow-beaten into accepting trumped-up charges. ' . f It was a victory, of course, for President Truman, who refused to withdraw Lilienthal's nomination as demanded by reactionaries of both parties. It was a victory also for Senator Vandenberg,' whose arguments were mainly responsible 'for the fact that 20 Republicans vpted for confirmation over 'the objections of Majority Leader. Taft. Their support decided the issue. -. i Every thoughtful American should be pleased by this decisive, ending. The case was an ordeal for the nation as ;well as the nominees, most of whom faced no personal opposition.. Bift before dismissing this case, i.t would be. well to note a few points for future reference. One is that the Senate rules need tightening to assure peedier paction on- nominations of such vital . importance. iThose to the Atomic Energy Commission, although made Oct. ;28, cculd not be decided, of course, until Congress convened ilan. o. There may have been good reasons, why committee .hearings did not start until Jan. 27. But the fact that those hearings did not end until March 24 and the Senate vote was delayed 16 more days exhibited obstructionism at its worst. ; - Another point is the abuse of congressional immunity by resort to smear accusations. This immunity was wisely proided in the Constitution to safeguard members in the performance of their duty. It was never intended to encourage character assaults or personel vendettas such as that of Tennessee's aged Democratic senator, Kenneth McKellar. It was particularly stuped of Senator Taft to join in the hue '.and cry about "Communism" when the ludicrousness of such Jiame-calling had been demonstrated by real estate lobbyists in terming his housing program "socialistic." For its own reputation, the Senate should discourage such tactics. But, as the hearings droned on, it became evident that more ominous motives were involved. Senator Taft's die-hard attitude was attributed to opposition to civilian control of atomic energy. To that extent he was serving the interests of militarists who want to exercise that control themselves, and of groups which would like to exploit new power sources for private ends. The Lilienthal case, therefore, should teach Americans to look for hidden motives when obstructionism does not yield to reason and evidence. . It was bad enough to have to go through with one such xl;smal, performance with the world watching because of its international significance. We hope public opinion will help to guard against a repetition of this case.

Spring Convention Of County Federated Clubs

4 (.On Thursday, April 10, Sulli--van County's Spring Convention of Federated Clubs was held in the Baptist church in Hymera. The day began at ten o'clock and ended at three with a luncheon in the church basement at noon, A program of music, reports smd a speaking was given. At the 4mie, one's impressions were mainly those of entertainment, sociability and relaxation. Seen Jii retrospect, however, the day sssumed much more importance, Perhaps it's not exaggeration. should it be called, a miniature f cavaicane or America with cum women leaning in? way. Following are some of the highlights of the club reports. The Sponsoring and organing of a boy and girl scout troop in a community that heretofore had been without this youth activity. The organization of a ParentToachers Association. The sponsoring and setting up of a feboo Hunch program furnishing help jn canning foods for it. One club -member had a poem accepted find published in "The Poet's 'Corner" of the Indiana Siety of Poets. Sponsoring and directin? a youth canteen for high 'school children. Raising of funds to send a delegate from one club, with all expenses paid, to the General Federation Convention DP.. A. C. McPHAII Will he in our store WEDNESDAY MAXWELL-BEVIS SHOE CO.

Confirmation to be held in New York City this summer. The sponsoring of a local organization to help crippled children. The purchase of many dollars worth of hand work made by the blind of the state to help these unfortunates to be self supporting. These were some of the items modestly reported by individual rlub officers. In addition music was enjoyed which was played hv the Hymera school children. Thry were excellent, showing talent and fine training and have br..n competing successfully with other school children in the district music activities Any community would be fhPm ' . proud of Leadership being developed in yol,ng adults was exemplified jn the outaoins chairman who nresided with poise and charm, things her club experiences has hnlned her acquire. We listened intently to a rarnv'nc speaker who told us simply but forcefully of the woman's place in the home. Nothing she said was new but her re-emphasis of old truths carried a nw challenge we could not ignore in her sincere, convincing words. All in all, it seemed a most encouraging picture of what a cross section of America is doing in its own community to the "March of Time." Only one word of regret might be spoken. There were just forty-four women "registered including district offi cers and the guest speaker. The Convention deserved more than that. Herostratus or Erostratus was in Ephesian youth who set fire to the temple of Diana at EpheJus in B. C. 356. He was torlured to death and an edict passed that his name should lever be mentioned under penalty of death, but in vain; the youth gained immortal a fame through his act. .

"What is going on here?" he asked. "This is going to be an occasion," answered Tristram. "Maryam is dressing up." . "Dressing up?" Walter took immediate alarm. "In what? Has Mahrnoud been thieving apain?" - "No. It seems she brought one dress with her when she ran away. She says she will appear before us in all her glory like the Queen of Sheba." 1 At last the girl behind the curtain was ready. She laughed and called, "Bow low. before Her Royal Munificence:" A white hand swept the curtain back and she stepped forward.

For More Fish, Fish Your Pond, it Helps Nature

INDIANAPOLIS, April 15 ! (Special) Interested in providin; better fishing in that farm pond of yours? , Well, the Indiana Department of Conservation has the answer for you in two words, 1 i Fish it. -- I Dr. Louis A. Krumholz, associate director of the Indiana Lake and Stream Survey, came up with that advice in an article appearing in the current issue of. Outdoor Indiana, official Conservation magazine. j A body of water, Dr. Krumholz writes, 'will carry a poundage of fish in direct proportion to the amount of food available. In f mplificd terms, the more fish taken out by anglers, the larger the remaining fish can grow. A survey conducted by Dr. Krumholz and his staff on five small ponds in Knox and Daviess counties indicated an average of 450 pounds of fish per acre of pond. The fisheries biologist said removal of half the population each year is advisable if a normal yearly growth rate is to result. . Two of the ponds checked wera almost useless as fishing spots due to the tremendous population of stunted fish, most of them under the legal length limit.

"Bow low!"

"Remember me as I am," she said. - . F'en the revealing glimpse of the morning had not prepared Walter for the change in her. Her eyes were shining radiantly. "She looks like the lovely Empress Irene," he cried. "The Black Rose is a fitting name for her." Watching Maryam that evening, Walter was at odds with himself. Love had always meant to him the silent adoration of his inaccessible Engaine. This lovely distraction left him stirred but baffled. When they were alone, Maryam confided to Walter. "Tristram has told me about your Engaine. I suppose you think of her often?" But he admitted, "Not as much as I used to." Maryam seemed happier. "I must change back to my servant's rags." she said. She laid a hand on his arm. "But please I want you to remember ti-e as I am now . . ." (Continued tomorrow)
