That is the more delicate, because of recent • CONFERENCE - 2 statements by Unit d t tes Hi gh Commissioner John J. MeCloy - who called the dis man t ling - purposeless. The British and French are a bit uneasy about High Commissioner Mccloy - who, though on the job only a brief time, has been speaking his mind plainly. One British spokesman is quoted as Q saying: "Britain and France do not want another MacArthur." Meaning they don't want John J. Mccloy to start running things tbe way McArthur does 1n Japan. They don't quite know what to make of him and his ideas. So what kind of attitude has our High Commissioner toward the problem of Germany - the task of making the Gennana democratic and peace-loving? Well, here is something to illustrate~- Shortly before he left to take his post 1n Germany, Jack Mccloy was up at my house, · talking with myself and my eA?q•~...J~r.J -"'nlgtlbOSij?IChi ■ ~ Murrow. He noted that Qeraany had engaged in two world wars, and lost them both, the second more disastrously than the first; whereupon he turned to an anecdote an experience of his own college days. CONFEREN CE - 3 H e said he w a s quite a c o lle e boxer, a lightweight. "I was good,'' he to ld us, "speedy, and h a d a h a rd p unch. I was always boxing with heavier fellows, am beating them." Telling how 1n college he h a d the old philosophy of Bob Fitzsimmons - the bigger they come, th e harder they fall. "Then one day," Mccloy went on, "I took on a bigger fellow than I had ever tackled before - and he gave me a thorough licking. But I wasn't satisfied. I was so used to winning I couldn't believe that I had really been beaten. I kept finding excuses:-!£ I had only crossed my right that time wh~n he hit me with the left hook; !!, I'd side-stepped, and kept Jabbing that other time - everything would have been different. That, pointed out Mccloy, was like the oemans after the First World W a r. If Von Kluck had only been supported better 1n his rush on Paris. If Von Hindenburg had been given anoth e r division 1n his great drive. If this or that had not happened Gennany would have won the First World War. CONFERENCE - ~ "I, myself," Mc C loy w e n on, "had the same sort of feeling. Jt h ad al l be en 'l n accident - an I pra ct icall y had not been beaten a t all. So, I demand d another fight from the big fellow. He didn't want to, bu t I goaded him. This time he was really aMoyed - and, when he got i de in the ring, he punched me all over the place I came out of it bruised and battered - and, convinced. Two lickings were enough, and I had no desire for a third. So maybe," he concluded, "the Germans will feel the same way about it." In that plain, down-to-earth way, High Conn1ss1oner Mccloy cherishes the hope that the Oenaan people may reel they have had enough beating, and that - !!!: does~ E!l.• TIBET Here's a dispatch f rom London. "The Regent of Tibet, on t he roof-of-the-wo.rld, 11 it says, "cabled an appeal for help today from the thre a t of the Chinese Communists. 1 1 hope all nations will help us, said the Regent." This comes about because, on September Thirte~nth, seven weeks ago, United Press Correspondent Harold Guard, stationed 1n London, sent an inquiry which the dispatch describes as follows: "A telegram, September Thirteenth, to His Highness Takdhsg Pandit Botko-:f::..Je~t of Tibet, worldly who administersl'u•t~ affairs for the Dalal Lama, the all-embracing Lama, reincarnation of Buddha, who is the spiritual ruler." ..... •t.a•..Jlke me --Pisl't'- b•tWMA ~ .,..;:4'hl eo!:aeldw,e.11..J.& - September Thirteenth/ '!bat was • a, ml~day - when, on the way out from the Dalal r- 1 1 town of Lhasa I had thfr":afc1~ ~;;.l;..~ ..

When the plane landed, the stewardess handed her a small ~hild, a little girl six months old, a tiny orphan from Ireland. The blond/ from Texas said: •1 may be thirty-nine - but I can take care of a baby.• Back home she had been forbidden to adopt a child- because, according to Texas la~, a woman of thirty-nine is too old to look after a you~gster. Mrs. Harold Petre and her husband, a restaurant owner at Houston, were married for eleven years, and have had no children. They wanted to adopt one - but of ran into that Texas law. Rece1.tly, the pastor" their ch~ch, the Reverend J.D. Connally, returned froa a trip to Ireland, and told them how, at an orphanage in Tipperary, he had seen a pretty baby girl - Mary Ryan, whose parents had died. So thereupon Mrs. Petre saw her solution. how to evade that Texas law.
