Harter, who is proud of Exchange's sponsorship of citizenship programs and Constitution Week, insisted: "We haven't got anything against Chinese or Negroes or any other race.

It was surprising to some U.N. officers in Korea that the Chinese needed so much time to launch the second surge of their offensive...
...could visualize hordes of Communist-trained Chinese troops swarming across Siberia to tear down Western civilization, I'd get excited. But I can't see it. It's not in the nature of the Chinaman to be a Communist. Moscow can't organize China for Communism, even if Moscow tries its damndest...
