The Bulletin Editorial Page B-6—Anaheim (Col.) Bulletin Monday, April 6, 1958 Where's Berlin That Berlin has been a source of friction between the East and West ever since the end of World War II is common knowledge. At least, we presume it's common knowledge. At any rate, the current "crisis" over Berlin is just one of the many which has been manufactured by the Soviets. And what makes the Berlin situation especially difficult to handle is that the city is 110 miles inside the Soviet Zone of Germany. That fact has been repeatedly emphasized and dramatized as in the 1948-49 air lift which kept West Berlin alive despite the Soviet blockade of the roads leading from West Germany into Berlin. When President Eisenhower spoke to the Nation on March 16, he displayed a huge map showing Berlin's geographical position. His talk was heard by tens of millions of Americans. Yet, unbelievably, the New York Times discovered, in polling public sentiment on the President's address, that nearly 40 per cent of the people they contacted didn't know that Berlin is deep within Communist-controlled territory. It makes one wonder what it takes to acquaint people with the facts—or to get them to pay sufficient attention to news reports and discussions to get the facts. The Time's discovery is hardly complimentary to a Nation whose people are supposed to be among the best informed in the world. Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — In a steamy, unventilated office of the Republican National Committee, Meade Alcorne faced a congregation of honest newsmen in sounding his swan song. The 1928 New England low hurdle champion and, lately, the GOP's 41st chairman, had to accomplish a neat bit of low hurdling to get into the room. The reporters had jammed it from the entrance to the walls. He appeared startled at the mob scene — they were practically hanging from the low stuccoed ceiling — in this two-by-four executive room. A reporter answered his queried look. "It's the only game going in town," he said. Alcorn's face was drawn. He seemed impatient to get started. "Gentlemen," he said into the mikes taped to the green table. A cameraman shouted, "I hope you're going to stand up." The GOP leader just shrugged and again said, "Gentlemen." And they yelled again to him, "Hold it, Mr. Chairman, until we get our lights set." Everybody knew what he was going to say, and he started by saying he presented a letter of resignation to the President in a half-hour meeting in the morning. He read a copy of the letter, which was mimeographed single spaced. The table was bare except for the microphones. Just before he squirmed his way in, a reporter, annoyed that a big plastic gray elephant on the table blocked his view, placed it on the floor. Thus, for the moment, it seemed that’s where the GPM symbol elonged — out of sight. "My reasons," he said be told Mr. Eisenhower, "are strictly personal and professional." And then he said he’d try to answer questions. His eyes lowered, and at length silence sat heavy in the room while he scuffed one shoe against the other, his head bowed in pained concentration. "I’ve counselled earlier,” he said finally, “against answering that question.” And then he looked straight at the newsmen, poised, hungry and jammed elbow-to-notepad, and into the red-eyed TV machines and the live mikes, and he said plaintively: “Can we go off the record on this?” Could he trust the reporters to keep the answer in confidence? There came a sudden thunder across the room, a spontaneous, "No!" The question went unanswered. At least, the newsmen were honest. Alcorn said he'd go back to his private law practice in Connecticut. He had served his party, he said, at a great financial sacrifice. The job is an unpaid one. Only a rich man should hold the job, he said he was told. "I am not rich,” he said. But his reasons for quitting obviously went deeper than that. The chairman, 51 years old, who rose from obscurity into the national light two years ago, survived many a playful reference like, "From little Alcorns, great oaks grow." However, this was one Alcorn who was to remove himself from the political forest even as the lumbermen from the Democratic camp sharpened their axes. Whatever was in the wind, the man went out with a torch in his hand. "I believe," he said, and he said it almost grimly, "that we'll win the White House in 1960 . . ." And he walked out of the steamy room into the cool breeze of the outer office. He smiled finally. The burden was off.

You have an artistic temperament as well as capability, but since your paternal is essentially studious and retiring you are not a type to push yourself forward. If you will cultivate a little more aggressiveness, you will reach your objective faster! You have an alert, quick mind and a real nose for news. You sense the dramatic in everyday happenings and are able to express your thoughts fluently in either prose or poetry. With practice, you should also be able to speak well in public, if you will only conquer your timidity and an inherent stage fright. You are an able conversationalist among close friends and can be the life of any party you attend. You have a great deal of energy and may be inclined to scatter your interests over a very wide area. Concentrate on one thing at a time. Ardent by nature, you should wed while quite young, for you are the type who likes to have a growing family around to share your joys or pep you up.

Benson Back from the Dead On July 21, 1945, a Russian MKVD guard in Munchenerplata prison at Dresden in East Germany pushed a 21-year-old American into a cell and clanged shut the solid iron door. It was the beginning of one of the most fantastic experiences any human being has ever known. The prisoner was John Noble, of Detroit. Caught in Dresden when Hitler suddenly launched World War II, he was locally interned by the Nazis throughout the war. When Dresden was occupied and its population ravaged by the Red Army, Noble quickly found himself a prisoner of the Communists. Bewildered and stunned, he pressed himself against the iron door of his cell and peered through a small peephole. Then I heard screams. Someone was being whipped. Suddenly a closer sound of violence alarmed into the cell block. It came from the fourth floor. By looking sharply away from your food was distributed to us. At last, on the fourth day — which was July 31, 1945 — a few ounces of bread and some thin soup were handed to me; on the fifth day, more of the same, but as I lay down that evening I had no idea that on the following morning would begin a twelve-day starvation period. "When it became apparent on the first of those days that there was to be no food, loud protests, uncontrolled curses and screaming were let loose. They became louder as the second, third, and fourth days went by. Men went out of their minds, women prisoners became hysterical. Some Moslem prisoners chanted their prayers." "Then death struck, right and left. Cell doors were opened and dead bodies pulled out by an arm or a leg . . . Some 700 prisoners entered that starvation period. I was one of twenty-three who survived." — (3 per cent survival.) Sustained by God John Noble survived 14 months ON GUARD ALWAYS CO. "B" 161st AIB 400 S.

Then they began beating the man, not slowly and methodically but rapidly and in semi-frenzy.

Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence WASHINGTON — In unity there is strength—and a dramatic example of it was noted in the tenth anniversary meeting here this week of the North Atlantic Treaty organization's council. The speeches were significant of a common purpose. They were symbolic of a cause that offers counsel of moral force but at the same time, in the background, displays a firm intention to use military force to resist aggression. President Eisenhower's address gave warning that the western world must "always avoid substituting illusions for reality" in dealing with east-west disputes. He plained for the "sacrifice needed to maintain and improve our collective strength over a long period of time." But he also pledged that "we shall always keep open the door of honest discussion—even to those whose creed is world domination." Mr. Eisenhower said the west would "never cease to encourage" the "abandonment of the Communist purpose of world domination." He did not say how this could be accomplished, but he was doubtless expressing the hope of the many believers in moral force that somehow in due time the truth will penetrate behind the iron curtain and the peoples there will themselves either change their rulers or cause them to abandon their aggressive purposes. It was interesting to note throughout all the speeches a recognition of the gravity of the whole situation. Christian Herter, the Acting Secretary of State of depression to the union of 12 countries and to their common determination to resist any act of aggression. "Today, this union and this determinion appear to us so natural and necessary that we can no longer conceive for our peoples a free and peaceful existence without them. Yet we did not seek this union when the war ended. It was imposed on us by the dangerous, unacceptable policy followed by the Soviet Union." Mr. Spaak pointed proudly to NATO's achievement in bringing within its framework West Germany and France in a system of joint defense. He declared that, due to the political consciousness developed by NATO in Western Europe, the "major accomplishment of reconciling France and Germany has proved possible." But there was no specific mention of the overwhelming support of both parties in the United States Senate which, by a vote of 82 to 13, brought about on July 21, 1949, the ratification o: the North Atlantic Treaty. This pact is unlike any ever signed before by this country, for it commits the United States to defend instantly—without a Declaration of War by Congress—any one of the 15 countries now in NATO which come under attack. This alone is a momentous development in an atomic age of common danger as a new man dictatorship, like that which started World War II, again threatens world peace. (Copyright, 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) THE Family Scrapbook By DR. ERNEST G. OSBORNE Normal Frustration Some parents, taking off from the idea that children should not unnecessarily be frustrated, have swung to the extreme. It is such parents who "never let a child cry," who blame the chair on which a child bumps himself rather than helping him see how to avoid such bumps, and who follow the child's wishes no matter how "out of line" they may be. But such all-out permissiveness is far from being good for the youngster. It builds up an unreal world that can only result in eventual pain and distress for him. It is far better to help him assimilate the disappointments, the blocks, the frustrations that normally face any child. So, when visiting friend or brother wants a turn on Junior's tricycle, mother or father can assist him in giving up his immediate wants while at the same time providing some other activity, not so desired, perhaps, but at least some sort of a substitute. Or, with kind and loving firmness they can insist on the rest that he needs even at a time when he would rather keep on playing. In all sorts of ways, with intelligent guidance, he can learn to adjust to the necessary interferences with his immediate wants and thus become "vaccinated," as it were, against frustrations. Learning to take it in little and not too unpleasant doses is good preparation for the later more difficult situations all of us face. (Copyright, 1959, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
