of certainty glvea courage
It la the radar of the soul. A feeling
wisdom to life. We walk by faith, not by sight—2 Cor. 6:7.
Firm Stand Is Needed
DROBABLY nothing is tougher than trying to guess Rus-
* gia'g next move. We'd be wrong, for example if we
imagined the keepers of the Kremlin as mental robots with
every step mapped out according to a fixed timetable. Th
record proves Stalin and his politburo are opportunists.
They move if and when they view a situation as favor-
able. Right now no one outside Stalin’s ruling circle knows
whether Moscow is embarked on a continuing schedule of
aggression. If it is. the politburo will gauge
shown by the likely victims, measure the aid that might lie
brought to their side, and act accordingly.
Many observers see Yugoslavia as the most eligible vic-
tim on ‘the list. They believe Russia still doesn t wish to
commit her own forces but to rely upon satellite armies
as in Korea. And Tito is surrounded by the Red puppet
forces of Bulgaria, Albania, Rumania and Hungary.
^THERE’S a possible error in this appraisal, however, be-
cause Tito’s army is generally rated strong enough to beat
off satellite attacks. The Yugoslavs themselves believe it.
And thev reason that the Russians know it, too. home re-
ports suggest, therefore, that Tito will not be really worried
until he hears that Soviet troops are grouping to join an
assault against him. , .. .
If this attitude reflects a sound judgment of the satellite
forces encircling Tito, then doubt must he cast on the choice
ot Yugoslavia as the next victim. For it means Russia would
have to enter the fight to assure victory.
On the other hand, the Korean war has been a rude shock
to those who tend to underrate satellite armies. The puppet
North Koreans were well trained and supplied from the
start. They are being steadily reinforced and resupplied in
sufficient strength to maintain their attacking momentum.
• * *
IN the light of this showing, it’s risky to assume that Rus-
* sia’s eastern European satellites would not make plenty of
trouble for Tito even if no single Soviet soldier should
W Anyway, we can’t really measure satellite strength or Ivery important
Russia's intent with regard to her own forces. But there’s I [ know 8 lot
one thing we and the rest of the free world can do to alter
the equation the politburo will consider when it debates the
next move: „ ..
Speaking through the united nations, we can tell Moscow
that Yugoslavia will get the same kind of help from non-
Communist countries that the South Koreans are getting.
We can declnre this in specific language that will dispel all
doubts in the minds of the Kremlin’s opportunists.
Already we’ve said we would take a “serious view" of
further Red aggression, and the UN has hinted it would act
as it did in Korea. But hints and vague statements do not
deter invasion. Firm, clear talk is the need.

On Monday evening Paul Hyland, member of the Meth-
odist team in the church baseball league, broke his ankle
during a game. The accident will prevent him from working
for several weeks and, in addition, he will be put to con-
siderable expense for medical attention.
Negroes of El Reno and vicinity appropriately observed
Emancipation day yesterday at Legion ]mrk with a big cele-
bration that continued until a late hour last night. A barbe-
cue. dance and amusements of various kinds were featured
during the day.
Mrs. A. R. Kuiter entertained the F.ntre Nous club in
her home, 805 South Hoff avenue, Tuesday afternoon. In
the games of bridge, Mrs. M. E. Novak of Chicago made
high score. Additional guests were Mrs. Roy B. Cox, Mrs.
Thomas M. Aderhold. Mrs. Wallace Lloyd of Shawnee and
Mrs. Novak.
Miss Gertrude Johnson of Enid, who has been the guest
of her cousin, Mrs. C. M. Macumher, 401 North Barker ave-
nue. returned to her home Tuesday. She was accompanied
by Torrance Macumber, who will remain for a few days’
visit.

Laughton, 101South Rock Island avenue, has been de-
tained at the Canadian border after spending a few weeks
with her parents. Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Ghostly, of Ed-
monton, capital of the province of Alberta. Canada. Mrs.
Laughton, who held a student-visa pass across the border
for her work as a doctor, was notified after site attempted
to return to the United States that the pass was invalid,
and was told that since she is a native Canadian doctor there
is a possibility she may be conscripted with the Canadian
army. Dr. Ghostly and the American consulate at Edmonton
have been attempting to procure for Mrs. Laughton a pass-
port back into the United States. The process probably will
require eight or 10 months, it was Baid.
A watermelon feast was enjoyed by the members of
the young people’s society of the Episcopal church in the
parish house Sunday evening. Miss Katheryn Wolf of Okla-
homa City was the only guest present at the meeting. Mem-
bers in attendance were Paul Molton, Betty Bywater, Carol
Chambers, Ralph Macy, Ruth Brown, Betty Ann Byrd, Ella
Lou Bywater, Leonard Godfrey. Alta Arpan, Wayne Wick
and Hugh Wilson.
Mrs. Clifford Brown, reporter of the general society,
announced today that the Women’s Missionary union of
the First Baptist church would meet at 7:30 p. m. Thursday
evening. Circle one will be hostess to the entire group, while
circle two will be in charge of the meeting.

"Let's cut out the formalities.
Call ntr Del—that's the nickname
everybody who knows me uses."
"All right, Del. You can call me
Frank,"
I knew that I should never be
able to call him Frank, and I re-
gretted bringing up the nickname
stuff. He went on:
"I will need you for not more
than two days, beginning at noon
today. It might possibly take three
days, but I don't think so. I will
pay you $100 a day."

"What kind of a Job is It?"
"A bodyguard Job. I'm taking
some valuable carbon down to Cop-
per City."
This Is rather short notice. Mr.
Phajol. It's 11 now."
He shrugged. "I can't afford to
take any rlianccs, Del. I didn't
think It wise to go Into details too
long In advance. I hope you under-
stand."
"I think so How much stuff are
you taking to Copper City?”
"Twenty-five thousand carats.”
I whlsled. "All carbon?"
“No; It's half and half. Actually
a few more baits than carbons.
Now you know why I need a good
man."

and said: "That's right. You

Perhaps It was my Imagination,
but I thought that his swarthy tain
reddened slightly. I went on:
“You've been selling commercial
diamonds In the Southwest for It
years. You deal with small miners
V|and contractors. You probably never
carried more than 1.000 carats on
you In your life. That's why I
cant understand the 25,000 carat
deal.”
Phajol shrugged slightly. "1 will

caught?"

XT did seem reasonable (hat he
* would have been picked up.
Several times he had been Investi-
gated by insurance companies after
disappearances of diamonds in New
York houses. But none of his stuff
had ever been identified as stolen.
The experts can tell whether stones
come from one lot or another.
Yet Phajol had found a market
for his product for 10 years, and
nobody had ever been able to
identify a single stone as stolen
property. And he had always been
able to produce a bill from some
commercial diamond house either
In New York or Holland.
"There Is one thing that you def-
initely need not worry about The
stulf I'm taking to Copper City Is
legit. I can show you the bill,” he
was telling me now.
He could have forged a bill that
would fool me, so I said:
“I'm Interested only In why
you're carrying a fortune In com-
mercial diamonds to Copper City
when you could just as easily sell
by sample.”
“Mike Domlmco Insists that I
bring the entire stock. I can't af-
ford not to. It's the first time Do-
mlnico ever gave me a tumble. I've
got to make the sale. If I do, then
I can make others to men like
Dominlco. It means everything to
me." He lowered his voice and
leaned still closer. “I told you
would pay you a hundred a day.
If I make this sale there will be a
fat bonus in It for you—I can guar
ante* that I"
I was wondering why Mike Do-
rn Inlco had ever decided to even
consider buying diamonds from
Phajol. He had started out as a
small-time driller. Then he had
raked $1,000 together and decided
to take a filer on the market. He
had phoned an order for $1,000
worth of mining stock. He spoke
such broken English that his broker
~ had been confused and placed an
order for 1,000 shares. The stock
Mike s mis-
take had made him wealthy. Now
he waa one of the biggest of the
diamond drill contractors.
What's got you Jittery about the
deal?” I Inquired.

to take a chance. This Is my big

stared wtdc-cyed.
A girl crossed to a writing desk,
picked up a letter and started back
to the bedroom. Phajol said:
Pat. this Is the private detec-
tive I told you about. Del Dorsam.
He turned to me. “My daughter
Pat. She's going with us to Copper
City."
Where had she got her looks?
That luscious brown, wavy hair
certainly had not come from the
coarse-grained FYank Phajol. Nor
had that peaches and cream com-
plexion. Everything about her was
graceful: a divine knack for clothes
had completed the effect. But here
was the explanation of Phajol's
mole - like singleness of purpose
through the years.
"She's as good as any of them!"
There was a peculiar gleam In
Phajol's eyes after the girl left the
room. "She's had the best education
at the best schools! 6he's asso-
ciated witn swells—the best people!
She's as good as any of them—and
a damned sight prettier!”
"She ts," I agreed, "but don't
you think It dangerous to take her
with us?"
“You're In, then?"
I smiled at my own unconscious
reaction and nodded.
I To Be Continued I
T KEEP HEARING a lot of glop
E about how our men fighting
In Korea do not know why they
are fighting there, or what they
are fighting for.
If they don't know these things,
then they didn't have the same
kind of history teachers I had.
or they have forgotten that they
were taught, or they are not able
to put this two with that two
and make four.
For several years I had it
hammered Into my thick skull
that the blood shed fighting wars
was strictly the price of freedom;
and that our country would never
permit such a hard won com-
modity to be taken from us: and
that for such foundation stone,
no man. woman or child could
withhold his strength, nay, his
life If need be, and no questions
asked.
If our fighting forces remember
this lesson, their perplexity could
arise only from confusion caused
by an Inability to differentiate
between fighting for freedom and
'defense of our country.’ If such
confusion exists, It is probably
due to the infiltration of a silly
Idea that only-I-am-lmportant-
to-me-and-I-should- worry - about-
nnyone-else.
This Is about as sensible as
trying to cross the Atlantic ocean
in a row boat. No longer can any
country consider isolationism.
Science as taken care of that.
So, since we are face to face
with a dragon who threatens the
right of any country to be free,
it instantly heroines our fight In
order to keep that same dragon
from breathing down our necks.
I do not view wars casually, but
the frequency of threats to free-
dom convinces me that we are
not too far down the dragon's
list, and that we need to reaffirm
our loyalty and polish up our
pledge to carry the torch of
liberty and Justice for all.
Now, If the fellows fighting in
Korea can’t quite understand
why reinforcements are so long
coming, or why they were sent
out to fight tanks with cap
pistols, or are disgusted, to the
point of throwing away those cap
pistols, with their good brothers
at home who have ever failed to
carry their end of the load and
who arc plenty willing to “let
George do It” while they stay
home and get richer, I’m right
beside ’em, because I don't under-
stand that either.
Apparently there Is much being
done for perpetuation In office,
but precious little for perpetua-
tion of the life of our young men.
Barbecues In Washington, where
two hundred of the elect are In-
vited to eat Oklahoma style, don’t
buy tanks, or ships, or planes, or
bring ’em back alive.

publicity to types of airplanes to
be produced, but not quantity,

the types to be ordered Include
these newer models, ready for pro-

F-84-F. a swepfbsck wing version.
F-94-A, -B, and -C. the new
Lockheed all-weather fighter.
T-33, a two-place Lockheed
trainer version of the F-94.
F-96 North American fighter.
B-47 jet and B-50 Boeing medi-
um bombers.
B-26 Douglas light bomber, for-
merly known as the A-26. It is not
to be confused with the World war
II B-26 Martin Marauder.
