History Is Distorted
CTUDENTS of the Soviet Union marvel at the dexterity
0 the Russians exhibit in rewriting history—not once but
again and again—to suit their purposes of the moment.
This is a much more exhaustive process than many of
us reaii/.e If. for instance. Kremlin strategy requires an
especially strong anti-American propaganda bent, you may
find stripped from the history books all mention of Joseph
Stalin praising the opening of a second front in World wai
11. You will read instead that on that memorable occasion
the late premier said something totally different.
Yet that isn’t necessarily the end. The time might come
when the Russians decide “friendship” with America is
again a profitable course. Then Stalin’s kind words might
be resurrected, if any copies still exist.
Unhappily, the rewriting of history is not confined to
the Soviet orbit. Men in western nations practice it, too.
The difference is that in the West these distortions are
never consciously prepared as official government policy.
They are dwelt upon by individuals, groups, elements in
political parties.
■REWRITTEN history can indeed affect government policy
■**’ in the West, however, either by creeping into official
thinking or by reflecting itself in strong opposition to gov-
ernment programs. .
A sample distortion in America, which may have been
partly due to mere forgetfulness, was the oft-rcjieated state-
ment in the last year or two that we entered the Korean
war to unify Korea. A five-minute look into any newspaper
file is enough research to demonstrate the inaccuracy of
1 *The events'surrounding the Communist request of China
lend themselves ideally to this kind of rewriting, since so
many of the vital facts of the matter are still undetermined,
or lost in a fog of charges, claims, propaganda and deliberate
- great deni of damage can be done by producing this
misshapen histoiy. The barm to government policy is ob-
vious. It is fantastic to think that any major government
should forge programs partly founded upon—or modified oy
—contrived misinformation.
Mr. Breger

T is hardly less weird to think of a great democratic citi-
zenry being sinily confused by the effort to distinguish
between real history and the distorted versions steadily
foisted upon it. How can people judge the quality of their
leaders when they must listen to accounts manufactured to
suit the conveniences and prejudices of men grinding their
special axes? * ,
Perhaps the worst thing is that the authors and advo-
cates of rewritten history make of their product a doctrine
and a faith. They are generally quite intolerant of those who
do not accept every item of belief without change. With
us or against us,” is the way it goes.
One may la* forgiven for wishing we could all get back
to the point where facts are viewed as worthy objectives,
and not as irritating encumbrances marring the smooth
surfaces of comfortably distorted history.
The question today is, is the woman in the car ahead
going to turn right, turn left—or does she have a new en-
gagement ring on?

TIIE STORY: Pete Morrison,
wagon (rain scout, attempts lo
range winter quarters at Two Rivers,
but has a light with t.abr t'ox. onr
of Ihr henchmen of /.ad Barnes, a
renegade who controls Two Rivers.
Eater Pete Is warned by Betty,
Barnes' adopted dauxhter, that hi*
life la in danger.
• * •
V
rfAD BARNES came up as Pete
L* Morrison was preparing to
mount. "When can I look for your
people?" he asked.
"I should say in about a month.”
Pete answered. It would be sooner
thun that, but there was do point
in telling Barnes.
“We'll be ready for ’em," Barnes
said.
Pete said, “That Indian over there
is a Navajo, Isn't he? Whut's he do-
ing so lar oil his reservation?”
Barnes replied. “His name is Juan
Chee. Speaks both English and
Spanish when he wants to. I also
do a lot of business with the Nava-
jo*. He's what you might rail a bus-
iness agent." The man gave an un-
pleasant laugh.
Pete could not help feeling a little
relieved when he got away from Two
Rivers. It was the most sinister place
he had ever been in.
He was headed north, but that
note in his holster had given him
a powerful urge to revisit High Val-
ley and have another talk with Bet-
ty. He had the feeling that Barnes
would resent it, and it might have
unpleasant consequences for the girl
—whether she would talk or not.
And he was certain In his own mind
that his every movement was beintg
watched by Tobey, or some other
Indian. It was better to pass up High
Valley for the present.
The settlements In the southern
part of the territory were few and
far between, and inhabited by a
clannish people who resented the
intrusion of strangers. They were
little more friendly to Pete than
they would have been to Zad Barnes.
They would provide him a bed and
food for himself and his horse,
grudgingly, but Barnes was right in
saying that they would refuse to sell
any great amount of supplies to an
emigrant party.
At a settlement called Pangeneet
he encountered a traveler going
north in a buggy, so he put his horse
out to pasture and accompanied the
man. Six days later he joined Nate
Wilkinson’s wagon train.
Wilkinson was a quiet-spoken man
of 47 who seldom smiled, yet always
seemed driven by a restless energy.
Pete had known him rather well be
fore the war. and had the utmost
respect for him. It was this former
acquaintance which had led to Pete
being hired as guide.
* * *
ILKINSON'S party was com-
posed for the most part of
rather prosperous farmers and
would-be prospectors filled with the
American lust for new land and op-
portunity to better themselves. They
owned good wagons and stock and
had plenty of money.
Well.” Wilkinson asked, "what's
the verdict?"
I'll be honest with you, Nate.'
Pete replied. "I've found a place
where you can winter, and which
I think would be a wonderful place
to locate permanently. But it may
be tough getting there, and you'll
be surrounded by Indians and out-
laws when you arrive.”
“I think my people will be able
to hold their own."
“I don't want you going into it
blindly." Without trying to play
down the dangers at all Pete told
Wilkinson exactly bM-Uuuis stood.
"Seems
when he
to me.” Wilkinson said
had linished, "that it's
time this man Barnes was put in
his place. We can't go on to Cali-
fornia this fall, and if we stay here
this winter it’ll cost us like sixty.
I'll put it up to the other men. but
I'm sure we'll take the chance."
It was what Pete had been Jure
his friend would say. And then Pete
asked, "Did you ever know a man
named Zad Barnes? When I men-
tioned your name It gave him u
start."
Wilkinson frowned. "I've known
men named Barnes, but none named
Zad. I'd have remembered that.
What did he look like?"
Pete described Barnes, and saw a
look of Intense interest spreading
over Nate Wilkinson's face. "You
know him?” Pete asked.
"Not by that name. But I once
knew a man almighty like Zad must
have looked when he was younger.
Only thut man called himself To-
bey."
“What? Tobey? There's an Indian
down there named Tobey who seems
to be working with Barnes."
Wilkinson stared hard at Pete.
"Tobey's not an Injun name, is it?”
he demanded.
"I don’t think it is. but then most
Indians have names the white men
have given them."
* * *
11TILKINSON stood up. and his
Tv lists were clenched tightly: his
face, where It was not covered by
the beard, was pale. Here. Pete saw,
was a man in the grip of powerful
emotion. Pete didn't understand.
"Tobey.” Wilkinson repeated. "If
he couldn't use his own name
mightn't he pass it on to an Injun?”
"It's possible, of course." Suddenly
Pete remembered Barnes’ over-em
phatic denial that he had ever
known anyone named Nathan Wil-
kinson. "What about this Tobey you
knew?” he asked.
Wilkinson said, “I spent years
looking for him, but the war came
on and after it was over I decided
there wasn't much hope of ever
finding him. But if this is him I
can't get there too quick.”
"And when you do," Pete said
quietly, "you intend to kill him.”
If it's the last thing I ever do.”
Wilkinson breathed.
"Why?" asked Pete. "What did
Tobey do to you?" But even as Pete
spoke, he realized that a man like
Zad Barnes must have done many
things in his life to make others
hate him.
(To Be Continued)
IX THOUSAND persons, among
sons picket the White House In a
forlorn appeal to the president to
save from a disgraceful death the
two persons who have been in-
strumental in causing the death
of many.
These emotionally unstable per-
sons are not asking forgiveness
for the treasonable actions of the
Rosenberg* but are claiming they
are Innocent. Innocent because
they, the Rosenbergs say they
are innocent.
The Rosen bergs have been tried
and found guilty. They have ap-
pealed their case to the highest
court of the land where the de-
cision was not reversed. They
have sought executive clemency
which was not gained and now
they are being hailed a* innocent
Martyrs whose blood will be on
the heads of the preaent genera
tlon.
I am sorry for the Rosenbergs.
I never read the story of the
betrayal of Jesus that I am not
sorry for Judas Iscariot. I am
sorry for all those who either for
money, In the heat of anger, or in
spirit of vindictiveness loat their
bulunce and succumb lo baser na-
ture.
TUDAS was so overcome by his
J sense of wrong-doing he went
out and hanged himself. Con-
sciences are not so stout these
days. A small majority of mur-
derers turn the gun on themselv-
es but these are not those whose
motivation is money, as 1 believe
to have been the case of the
Rosenbergs.
My sympathy, however, does not
request clemency for these stupid,
misguided unfortunates. When a
citizen of these United States
sells his birthright for a mess of
pottage he is giving no quarter
for the millions of lives he Jeo-
pardizes and should ask for none
for himself or his children. This
risk the Rosenbergs must have
carefully calculated before com-
mitting the crime, and while they
did not figure on being caught,
they well understood how the sins
of the father can be visited on
children.
And so the law will I hope, take
its course irrespective of all but
Justice, in that mercy could hard-
ly be considered a factor in this
case.

RUT WHAT of the 6.000? Can
•D they have studied the case in
it entirety and upon the evidence
submitted believe the defendants
to be Innocent? I think we can
hardly believe this possible. And
so we find 6.000 persons in our
country who condone treason and
espionage; who desire the free-
dom of culprits whose crime af-
fects the nation as a whole and
its citizenry individually, and we
wonder how many more there are
who joined the pickets in mind if
not in body.
Executed or not the Rosenbergs
can give us to think. If in the
face of their crime than which
there is none whicher, a mob of
6,000 persons can be stirred to
storm the gates of the White
House, what would it take to stir
up a neat little revolution.
Let us bend our mightiest ef-
forts teaohing impregnable pat-
riotism rather than trying to lay
the ghost of Communism by
hiding It under the nation's capi-
tal? I grow extremely weary with
the "Thou Shalt Not."

UNDERSECRETARY of State
U Walter Bedell Smith told a
Foreign Service Association meet-
ing in Washington about a trip Jte
made to a collective farm, while he
was U. S. ambassador to Moscow.
On our way in.” said General
Smith, “our interpreter stopped to
speak a few words to a very old
Russian woman who was cutting
brush with a sickle along the road.
He said to her among other things,
•Mother, how are things on the
farm?’
'Ah! They are terrible!' she an-
swered. 'On this farm nothing
works. The tractors don't work.
The plows don't work. The trucks
don’t work. The only thing on this
farm that works has just been made
a heroine of Soviet motherhood .”

twto peace-time use of the energy
Ix released in a hydrogen bomb
has yet been disclosed. Closest
thing to a leak on this subject same
when Prof. Harold Urey of Chica-
go University, one of the pioneers
in development of the original
atomic bomb and a Nobel prize
winner, was quizzed on a discussion
panel.
Asked if there were any commer-
cial applications for H-bomb en-
ergy, Profesor Urey declared he had
just attended a conference on this
subject, but the results were classi-
fied as secret, so he couldn’t talk
about them.
Atomic Energy Commission does
have four reports from private
electric and chemical companies on
the use of nuclear energy or com-
mercial development of power. The
catch Is that to release the reports
would give away present U. 8. plu-
tonium production rates.

Wayne Morse of Oregon and Sen.
Wallace Bennett of Utah:
Mr. Morse—"Mr. President, will
the senator from Utah yield to me
for two minutes ....?"
Mr. Bennett—"The senator from
Utah will be happy to yield to the
senator form Oregon for two min-
utes—if the senator can count
two."
Mr. Morse—“The senator would
be quite surprised."
