Dulles is talking tough Moscow, still snarling of rso, seems to be carefully ipraising her position. For one she is afraid of the Atlantic Irter defense group, and tipped this fact when she asked the 'Four conference in Paris to Indon it as a condition to world fi 1 another thing, Russia again fight to elevate her guerrilla ipanion Red China to the status fa world power, hoping therefore fmakc her own position less lone- And Dulles out-sneered the Sssians on this one. Said Dulles: 'Who is this Chou En-lai (the Mnese foreign minister) whose to our circle would fake possible solution of all bur problems? (Here Dulles Described the rise of tho lussian-backcd native war and continued Such is he man Mr.

Molotov proposes vould enable us to solve all the vprld's problems." This engaging speech was deliv- by the American spokesman joi from any remote rostrum back the U. S. A. but across the IfSJfc looking directly at Mr. blotov.

It's been nearly nine years since war in Europe ended but still ere is no peace treaty. Russia istinately keeps Germany divided, ilds all of Hungary, and dom- ates Austria. All Europe remains a war camp, and this ill continue until a treaty is svised and signed. The world can not go on forever this uneasy truce, Either it be peace or war and after Jo the Westecn' free; world entitled to demand 'that Russia iy which it will be. I Perhaps the way Dulles is play- ig it tough it looks like a deadly oker game.

And it is. But if ussia intends to destroy the rest the world we are entitled to now; and if she is only bluffing sooner we find this out too the uicker we will have peace. all the Russian maneu- and threats common sense jells us that many facts favor our (cmand for a German peace now. iussia knows she is guaranteed irotcction against any invasion ireat by a rebuilt Germany by the fact of her membership in ic United Nations. And she knows, that her old allies, Britain, 'ranee, and the U.

S. will ndcrwrite that UN guarantee irtividually and collectively. today Dulles is telling the iians to get down.to cases on tat German treaty; and nothing Isc, until the treaty is written and gncd.

iack, Chauiman of Refreshment Dairymen to Ask City to Enforce! Milk Ordinance Hompstead County Dairymen's Association in'a meeting here last night named a committee to appear before Hope City Council and request the city to cither enforce or abandon its ordinance governing the sale of milk. Presiding over last night's conference were Charles Key and Vernon Brown. The producers tended that a city specifically declares that to sell milk in Hope a company must have a rating as good or better than the Texarkana Milkshed rating under which milk is sold in Hope. They further contend that one of three major companies which sell milk here is far below the required rating of the Texarkana shed and will ask the city council to bar the company from selling in Hope. The producers made it plain that they did not care, who or how many companies sold milk in Hope, providing those companies are forced to meet the same requirements under which Hcmpstead producers are required to operate.

"We feel it's very unfair for the Hempstead producers to have to meet certain requirements when a company which doesn't and won't buy milk from us, is allowed to sell milk that is inferior, according to a U. S. Bureau of rating," Mr. Brown told the group. Also discussed at the session was a possible advertising campaign to acquaint consumers with the fact that all milk is not the same quality.

The organization's first step will be to place the issue squarely in the lap of- the council, possibly next Tuesday night. Further event the council failed to act, was not discussed.

The bureau said that "as usual," much of this production was aC' Smitn is "chairman of the Senate Labor Commitee. Lewis described the I4-point program this way: "Such amendments, if enacted, run to increase and compound the 'felony' already perpetrated on the laboring people of America in the original instance. A far cry, these amendments, fronv the utterances of the presidential candidate in the summer and fall of 1952 when, for political favors sought, genuine relief was promised," Observers recalled two specific campaign promises from on the Tnft-Hartlcy Law. He said the anti-Communist oath, required only of union officials, should either be extended to employers or taken out of the law; and ho said a provision or union representation elections held while workers ''were out on strike could conceivable be used to "bust" unions and. needed changing.
