Business Cal! To Arms
Few thoughtful Americans, whether they
happen to be board chairmen, bookkeepers or brick
masons, will disagree with the charge made by Presi
dent William C. Stolk of x^merican Can Company that
the apathy or ineffectiveness of businessmen in the
area of public affairs has helped visionaries, subver
sives and crackpots to “develop, finance, produce and
market ideas that are seriously undermining our
political and economic system.”
In issuing a “call to arms” to business executives
and to all who have a stake in the economic system
that has made the American citizen the envy of every
other national in the world, Mr. Stolk warns of the
“Four Freedoms” that now threaten to smother us,
that will destroy not only our self-respect but every
material advantage as well, that arm those who plan
our annihilation.
They are: “Freedom from Care. Freedom from
Effort. Freedom from Responsibility. Freedom to Get
without Giving.”
America faces a grim future indeed, Mr. Stolk
says, unless the managers of its industries substitute
personal participation in politics for mere check
check-writing. Businessmen, he said, have become too
refined, to anxious to be considered in agreement with
everybody — in Labor, in Government, in business
and social contacts — whereas it is time to speak out
when they are in disagreement.
We must realize that this is a business nation,
that wdiether we are plumbers or barbers or farmers,
whether wTe operate our own businesses or are on a
payroll, we are all business people. We constitute the
overwhelming majority. And if we are to remain
withdrawn from active political life, then, most cer
tainly, “government of the people, by the people, for
th people,” WILL perish from the earth.
GRASSROOTS OPINION
From the Scotland Neck, North Carolina, Com
monwealth — “The great trouble with the political
system of the United States is that too many folks are
too lazy or too uninformed, or too selfish to acquaint
themselves with political procedores, the needs of their
cities, counties, states and nation, to do something
about it. They had rather sit on the sidelines and
> sneer, but they are in effect exhibiting themselves as
perfect examples of poor citizenship.”
Methodists Find
Big Challenge Iii
Alaska Statehood
BUFFALO, N. Y., OR — The
Methodist Church has a two-fold
challenge in the development of
Alaska’s new-found statehood, a
clergyman said.
The Rev. F. Gordon Gould of
Philadelphia said the church must
aid in the development of a strong
local church and the establish
ment of a liberal arts college to
produce future leaders for the
state.
He said one of the two roles
was being completed in the con
struction of the Methodist Univer
sity in Anchorage.
The university, which will be
completed in September, 1960, is
being built with contributions
totaling $700,000 from residents
of the city.
Other needs of the new state,
the Rev. Mr. Gould said, are child
care, health programs, develop
ment of economic opportunities
and a firmer foundation for cul
tural living.

Speeding Train
Cuts Fuse In
Dynamite Attack
DES MOINES, — Authorities
launched a mass effort Saturday
to track down the' person who
made an unsuccessful attempt to
blow up a Rock Island Rocket
train with 200 passengers.
A dozen federal, state and
county officers aided by railroad
detectives were called to a meet
ing by Polk County Sheriff Wil
bur Hildreth to pool their ideas
on getting to the bottom of the
mysterious dynamite, attack on
the train.
Ninety-nine sticks of explo
sive, bundled into a suitcase, had
been placed on the tracks at the
eastern outskirts of the city early
Friday. The wheels of the Chicago
bound train severed a 12-foot
lighted fuse in time to prevent the
dynamite from exploding.
Hildreth came up with several
theories about the motive behind
the case.
One was that the person respon
sible may have heavily insured a
passenger on the train and at
tempted this means of collecting.

Soviet Sub Photographed
Off Iceland Coast
WASHINGTON, (Ah—1The Navy
not only sighted a Soviet sub
south of Iceland, it photographed 1
same.
The Navy, which made the pic
ture public Friday night, said the
Red submarine was of the “Z”
class, a long range type but
powered by conventional diesel
and battery motors.
A U. S. submarine and a Navy
plane spotted the sub loafing on
the surface last week about '180
miles south of Iceland. The pic
ture showed no deck structure
such as might be used to launch
missiles. Some of the “Z” subs are
believed to be equipped for mis
siles.
