Explosive Date Coming Up
AN Auk- 20 will occur a curious something which promises
'"to make Indiana for a time the most publicized state in
the nation.
Before that eventful date it may be well to review some
of the Hoosier state's historic claims to fame, lest they be
lost in the frantic August shuffle. Also, a few facts wi 1
have a steadying influence on us all during the hectic days
to come when all sorts of wild words are going to get flung
around, and cool heads will be at a premium. ,
One of the more steadying facts about Indiana is that it
leads all the other states in the production of peppermint
and spearmint oils.
It lays proud claim also to the Notre Dame football team.
Booth Tarkington, Theodore Dreiser, James Whitcomb Riley,
Gene Stratton-Porter and the Indianapolis Speedway.
It’s a versatile little old state, us states go. It ranks 10th
in farm income, third in steel production, has the third
biggest natural cave in the country, and can’t issue bonds
but must pay as it goes. At Santa Claus, Ind., is the post-
office beloved of stamp collectors.
rpHAT’S Indiana, safe and solid home of the Hoosier, and
not at all the kind of a place where you’d expect to have
happen what is going to happen come Aug. 20.
On that date will occur a deceptively mild incident con-
sisting entirely of the release of advance publicity on a book
that is to be published the following month. But what a
book? Wnat publicity!
The book will be called, “Sexual Behavior in the Human
Female,” by Alfred C. Kinsey of Indiana university, at
Bloomington. He did a similar book on men a few years
ago, you’ll remember.
It’s taken the good doctor 15 years to do his book on
women, six years longer than he took on the book about
men. Why? Did the women clam up or did they bend the
doctor’s ear so much he couldn’t get away?
Whatever it was, the 15 years of working with women
finally laid him low. Only a few days ago some other
doctor told Dr. Kinsey he would have to go to bed and rest.
Ehaustion.
Already womenfolk around the country are on the defen-
sive about Dr. Kinsey’s forthcoming revelations. Already
thev’re referring to the book, liefore they’ve ever seen it, as
an “attack.’’
IN the making, meantime, is one of the biggest publicity
* build-ups given a book in recent years. Maybe ever.
Magazine and news writers are being taken on guided tours
of the Kinsey laboratory at Bloomington. Behind double-
barred windows, they are given peeks at the book’s explosive
proof sheets. And then they are sworn to secrecy until Aug.
20. Some national magazines have switched their publication
dates to come out on that day.
All this secrecy business seems to stem from the fact
that Dr. Kinsey has gotten wind that a couple of other
books have been prepared with blanks left for statistics
gotten at the last minute from the Kinsey book, and that
thteir publishers will try to beat him to the bookstalls.
The first Kinsey book sold 250,000 copies, with compara-
tively little advance publicity build-up, and on a tame subject
like men. Still it kicked up a heck of a fuss.
But just wait until the lowdown on the ladies comes out.
The collective roar of affronted American womanhood can
probably be recorded on a seismograph in the Malay archi-
pelago.

ll^AITINO. with his best friend's
life at stake, took more out of
Pete Morrison than any amount of
physical activity could have done,
but he forced himself to be patient
nearly an hour before he dared
move around the "cabin where he
could venture even a glance. His
first look was discouraging. Herb
Painter was pacing slowly up and
down In front of a door In the end
of a strongly built log cabin.
Since most of the other buildings
were of adobe It was evident that
this one had been built to serve as
a Jail.
Pete began to make a wide circle
that finally brought him to the
other side of the building he want-
ed to reach. He was now within a
few feet of the guard, and he had
been able to inspect the back and
two sides of the building. There
wasn't a window visible. If there
was one It was in the end of the
building beside the door. He could-
n't make any attempt to find out
for sure if Nate was Inside, for the
guard could hear much more easily
than could anyone inside.
The time had come to act. How
much more difficulty he would have
after disposing o'f the guard he did-
n’t know, and if successful he would
have to have time to gain distance
before daybreak.
He crept to the corner of the
building and listened.
Painter swore suddenly, and
Pete's heart sank. But Instead of
having discovered Pete the fellow
had only discovered that he was
out of chewing tobacco.
"I'm gonna slip over an' git some."
the man muttered, and Pete heard
him hurrying away.
He would be back soon, but as
soon as the other building obscured
him Pete stepped around and in-
spected the front of the cabin.
There was one srhall window, bar-
red by heavy strips of Iron wagon-
tire. The door was fastened with a
massive chain and padlock.
Pete knocked gently on the door
and railed out softly. "Nate, can
you hear me?" He heard what
seemed to be a faint rustle, then
the murmur of a voice, but no re-
ply to him. He repeated, “Nate,
are you in there?”
"Yes. Who's that?” came the
reply.
"Pete. Keep quiet and be ready.”
"I'm chained."
“Never mind. Keep quiet.”
* * *
TTERB PAINTER was coming
-IA. back. Swiftly Pete crossed the
space between the two buildings
and flattened himself against the
other. Painter was moving hur-
riedly back to his post, and. as he
passed, Pete stepped out and struck
viciously. Painter fell without a
sound.
Swiftly Pete turned the man over
and went through his pockets. No
key.
Zad Barries himself probably had
the key.
Pete hurried over and examined
! the door. It seemed that the only
I chance to break the lock was to
shoot It, and that would arouse the
post. He might have risked It had
not Nate been In chains.< He had to
get In silently or admit failure—
and he would never be given an-
other chance.
He called to Nate. “Uve knocked
out" the guard, but I can’t get In.
Can you suggest anything?"
“Yes. Get awqy from here and
try to get Betty out of the hands of
these fiends.”
"Betty Is all right. She's with
friends. I got there soon after you
did."
"Then get out before they hear
you. You can't do anything for
me." Wilkinson said.
"I'll find a bar and try to pry
these wagon-tires off the window if
I have to, but It’ll be noisy. Do you
know who has the keys?"
"Barnes. But you can't—”
"If I knew where he sleeps—111
have to find out."
•Wait a minute," Nate said
"There's an Indian boy in here with
me. Maybe he knows, but—”
"Where does Barnes sleep, Wal-
ter?" Pete interrupted.
Walter replied, “In the big room
at the angle, right side."
"Hold tight,” Pete answered. “171
find him."
"You fool," Nate almost shouted,
''you'll only get yourself killed.”
* * *
OHTTE was already on his way. He
A knew that Nate was probably
right, but he couldn't abandon his
friend now without trying every
possible chance to save him. He
had hoped to avoid the danger of
that open court, but now1 it had to
be invaded.
He came up on It from the end
opposite the dining room just as a
quarter moon came from behind a
cloud. By its light he saw an In-
dian squatted in front of Cass's
door, right where he had once be-
fore knocked another Indian cold.
But he had come upon that fellow
from behind, and this one was fac-
ing him.
Even if he got past the Indian
unseen he still had Zad Barnes to
deal with, and if the man’s door
was latched on the inside it would
be Impossible to get to him with-
out nrousing the whole post.
While it might be possible for
him to slip up on the drowsy Indian
guard and overpower him. the man
Would be sure to awaken and there
would be a split second in which
the red-skinned sentinel could give
an alarm. Even a sharp command
of silence under the threat of death
might not work, because the Indian
might not understand. Perhaps he
could not speak English. The pos-
sibility of distracting the Indian
was equally out of the question. A
distraction meant noise, and nols?
meant an alarm. There was only
one chance of success in getting to
Zad Barnes and taking away the
keys to Nate's prison.
Boldness was the only choice. It
was dark enough that the Indian,
if he happened to be sleepy, might
mistake Pete for one of Zad's men
coming in on business. Pete drew
a long breath and walked straight
across the court.

" Pretty Boy Floyd had stay-
ed In the Cookson hills where he
operated successfully he would
still be doing all right according
to his lights. But he. like too
many others, had to go to town

Is kaphut but the Cookson hills
are still serene in their immensity,
undisturbed by the doings ofjnere
man.
Tried to learn where the Ten-
killer Ferry got Its name but turn-
ed up such a variety of answers
I gave up getting any thing really
authentic. The most likely seems
to me to be that an Indian named
Tenkiller owned land along the
Illinois river and If there ever
was a ferry there it w as so called
by the people who knew the old
chief. Romanticists may have
dreamed up a better and more
colorful story but the natives say
"The best place to cross the river
was down on old Tenkiller's
place", and that's it.
rpHE dam project has result-
•» ed in a paradise for those
who like to vacation beside water.
The lake Is far from full at the
dam but It Is beautiful now. It
Isn't just a made lake with an Ir-
regular shore line, but stretches
far away up many creek inlets.
The map looks like a tree that
has been struck by lightning. The
limbs are all there but any sym-
etry has been lost. And speaking
of lost. The area of Cookson Is
the best place to accomplish that
unpopular feat, within easy reach
of everybody. However, the area
Is full of. good roads and if one
doesn't stray off Into the Umber
he Is reasonably sure of coming
out at a settlement If his gasoline
and nerves hold out.
We based at Cookson In one of
the cabins of George Stratton who
operates the court, the store and
the filling station. He also has
good boats for rent. The Strattons
are a delightfully accomodating
couple who seem to be determined
you shall have a good time. Their
store is well stocked and has a
large ice house where you can
keep your fish until ready to leave,
and the cabins are well furnished
with all the comforts of home
with no drawbacks like TV. radio,
newspapers or vacuum cleaners.
rpHERE are no other accomo-
* dations close and it Is a 'fur
piece' to get a restaurant dinner.
Fresh meat isn't handy. Would
suggest an electric fan for the
occasional hot night. There are
numerous bait houses and the
Strattons have' some, but min-
nows must be carried too far to
be really satisfactory. Would sug-
gest a good minnow seine or trap,
and snaring some for your own
use.
There Isn’t much good bank
fishing at Cookson. but the boat
fishing and trot-lining is okay.
Catching fish Is great but the
sport of fishing lies not in secur-
ing meat for the table but In that
Intangible something known as
Peace of Mind. Long, quiet hours
In a boat, land and houses far
away, no reasort to move, and just
occupation enough to keep one
from being bored with his own
thoughts, is just my dish.
Within two or three years Ten-
killer will be a highly commer-
cialized play-ground, but right
now it Is just primitive enough,
requires just enough effort, and Is
superb to look at.
We had three never-to-be for-
gotten days.

Defining Loyalty and Security
Is Clean-Up Squad's Problem
fj^ASHINOTON —(NEA) — The
™ question of how much disloy-
alty—how many Communists and
fellow travelers there have been and
still are in the U.S. State Depart-
ment—brings forth some involved
explanations.
Records of the State Department's
Loyalty-Security Board, now wind-
ing up its affairs under the direct-
ive of President Eisenhower's new
security order, give one answer. It is
that no proof was ever presented
to this Board of any case of actual
Communist Party membership
among State Department employes.
This flat statement has to be
qualified Immediately, however, by
pointing out that card-carrying
party membership was not required
of many of the most active Com-
munist workers.
President Truman's original loy-
alty program was set up March 31,
1947. Under this program, employes
could be dismissed from govern-
ment service on grounds of disloy-
alty to the U. S.
In 1951 this program was enlarg-
ed to a security program Employes
could be dismissed II they were
found to be security risks.
President Elsenhower's'new Loy-
alty-Security order of April, 1963,
sets up still more stringent criteria
for discharge of government em-
ployes on both grounds.
rjTHE distinction between loyalty
A- and security is a little difficult.
Brig-Gen. Conrad E. Snow, head of
the State Department LSB during
its entire life, has defined them
this way: " ‘Loyalty,’ ” he says, "is
a state of mind. A ‘security risk' is
a fact.”
In the period of a little over six
years under the Truman loyalty-
security program, the State Depart-
ment handled 1084 loyalty cases In-
volving 775 individuals.
The total numoer of State De-
partment loyalty and security dis-
missals Is 35. But of the 775 individ-
uals involved in the 1084 cases, 173
resigned or were otherwise separ-
ated—as by death—from the State
Department, before any final de-
cision of their cases was made.
rxiHE purpose of the new Eisen-
JL hower loyalty-security pro-
gram Is to eliminate all suspects
by full investigation before they
become government employes.
John W. Ford, head of the
State Department's Security Office,
now estimates that 2000 State De-
partment employes have never been
given any security or loyalty check
and another 2000 have had only
inadequate checks. Mr. Ford says
these are low estimates.
The long Job of bringing all
these security records up to date
Is under way.
John Ford admits that his Se-
curity Office has often been ac-
cused of using police methods in
handling loyalty cases and mor-
als cases. Mr. Ford denies this
stoutly.
rrtHE approach, he says, Is that
1 of a psychiatrist. It Is sym-
pathetic. Rough stuff Is out. The
effort is made to maintain the
confidence of the people being ex-
amined.
To critics of the State Depart-
ment. It Is still showing too much
eonsideratlon. Instead of allowing
so many employes to resign, more
should be fired outright, for stated
causes, they say.
Security isn't a question of Just
loyalty, and It isn’t a question of
morals, as Frances Knight of the
Security and Consular Affairs ad-
ministration explains it.
It Is more a question of suitabil-
ity for government employment In
foreign relations. People who aren't
suitable for the work shouldn't be
hired or. once hired, they should be
fired. And all doubts should be re-
solved In favor of the government.
Lesson in English
WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do
not say, “I am anxious to see him."
when you mean. “I am eager to see
him." You can 9*y, "I am anxious
about my wife’s health," which ex-
presses worry.
OFTEN MI8PRONOUNCED:
Combatant Accent Is on first syl-
lable, and not the second, as Is so
often heard.
OFTEN MISSPELLED: Disperse;
erse. Imburse: urse.
SYNONYM8: Refuge, retreat,
shelter, seclusion, sanctuary, hid-
ing-place.
WORD STUDY: "Use a word
three times and it is yours." Let us
increase our vocabulary by master-
ing one word each day. Today’s
word: PEREGRINATION; a travel-
ing or going about; a wandering.
"In his recent peregrination, the
man had visited fourteen countries.”
Problem a Day
Tom is twice as old as Dick and
in 3 years will be 3 times as old as
Harry is now, Harry being 5 years
younger than Dick. How old Is each
now?
ANSWER
Tom 36. Dick 18, Harry 13. Let
X equal Harry’s age; X plus 5 is
Dick's age; and 2X plus 10 Is Tom's
age. Then 2X plus 3 equals 3 times
X. Solve for X, Harry’s age.
