The situation is critical, proba- bly more so than the American people realize. The administra- lion's eagerness to spend money is a fair measure of its dctermina- i tion not to spend American blood, President Eisenhower and Dulles have carried American foreign policy to a new and critical stage in recent weeks. Dulles' cmorgen- cy visit to England and France naturally followed British and.

French reluctance lo go along with the new policy. i Ike Alerts Nation The President alerted the nation to the country's new position about three weeks ago when he told a news conference that Indochina of extraordinary, primary im- portance to the free world.

These -ources recounted hew former President Truman ordered the spade work in late 1952 which resulted in the program announced by the American and Canadian governments last Thursday. Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson, issuing this government's i statement, said that survey and sighting work in the Canadian- American venture "is already well advanced." There was no indication just how the cost of the project would be allocated to the two countries. Designed to give several hours warning of a Soviet air atiack across the Polar cap, the system will extend over thousands of miles far north of United States policy was that Com- frozen wasteland munist domination of Southeast Canada's settled areas.

Supplementing the ground stations will be radar-laden patrol French Pilots Refuse to Fly At Low Level HOXG KOXG American civilian fliers in Indochina are angry al French ilglner pilots because they refuse to strafe Communist gun positions and therefore expose the Americans to heavy ami-aircraft I'ire, unimpeachable sources said today. The Americans, civilians employed by Civil Air Transport, have been dropping supplies to the defenders of Dien Bien Phu from an altitude of 3.000 feet, informants arriving from Saigon said. French fighter pilots are giving cover from "a height of 12,000 feet, the sources said.

As a result of the lack of protection, the Americans have been forced to fly at an altitude too high for accuracy and many supplies intended for Dicn Bien Phu have fallen into Red hands, the sources said. The Communists' anti-aircraft fire was reported to be so intense thai the American pilots are running "great risks." These sources said the Americans asked the French to strafe Red positions from low levels but that the French refused to take any chances. "I can't really blame the French for not coming in low because the ground fire is so heavy," one of the sources said. "But Americans are doing it in unarmed planes, so why not the French?" Ike Receives Historical Classic About Democracy By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer WASHINGTON at the White House: President Eisenhower a days ago received 100 "great books" which form the foundation of the curriculum at St. John's College in Annapolis, -Md.

The 100 volumes were piled on a table in the President's office for the ceremony. The one book he spotted and remarked about was "Democracy in America," written in the early 19th Century by Alexis Charles Henri Clerel de Tocqueville. The President said he'd always wanted this historical classic, but thus far had used only excerpts from the book. to united action against a s. Automatic interception ination either through the United Nations or, apparently, by the joint action of free states.

These are hard diplomatic facts. They led to questions on Capitol Hill and at Mr. Eisenhower's news conferences about the possibility of United States soldiers going into the Indochina battle lines. The administration repudiated such ideas quickly. Mr.

Eisenhower told a news conference he couldn't imagine any greater disadvantage to this country than the use of American ground forces in meeting each flare-tip of violence contrived by Communist pressure around the world. Issues Broad Statement Dulles' New York policy statement, however, was broad enough to cover the use of American fighting men in Indochina if necessary. That would be a last resort, however, if at all. and the immediate project is to stiffen the backs of friends and allies against an Indochina sell-out at the Geneva conference scheduled to begin April 26. 'The mood in France is for a negotiated peace.

Best American judgment is that any negotiated peace the Communists would accept would lead shortly to Communist domination of Indochina weapons, like the Air Force's F99 Boma-rc pilotless fighter, can be hooked into the radar system is designed not only for detection but for guiding intercepted as well.

Margaret Morgan for firing Dr. Diomede Gucrtin. superintendent of the In- diana Village for Epileptics. S.P. Clay, legislative chairman of the association, said Dr.

Morgan acted "forthrightly and courageously." She ordered Gtiertin to leave the institution Friday because he was "improperly carrying out his administrative duties." Earlier she announced he was resigning because of health. But he later said he had been fired for "no reason." Clay said a requirement for "efficient operation of a state mental health system" was that the commissioner have the authority to "remove undesirable and incompetent personnel without delay," He defended Dr. Morgan against criticism which followed the ouster, saying "loose and irresponsible criticism by individuals not in possession of all the facts is harmful to the well-being of the patients in our hospitals." with j'ert. new 7 double cultipacker; Ford grader blade; side del. rake: David Bradley rubber tired manure spreader; 3 section spring tooth harrow; practically new rubber tired wagon with grain bed and new 6 ply tires; good Craftsman tilt-top table saw and horse motor and bench; Craftsman band saw horse elect.

The chief executive will make his annual visit to the baseball park Tuesday to throw out the ball at the opening day game between the Washington Senators and the New York Yankees. Mr. Eisenhower's knowledge of the players and the situation in the big leagues is much better at the start of this season than it was last year. Shortly before his inauguration, the President confided to a group of sports figures in Xew York that although he had played both baseball and football in his youth, he knew much more about present day football than he did He explained that he spent so many years overseas that he lost track of the big leagues. He kept up with the Army and Navy football teams, however, and through this he got a pretty fair idea of what was going on in college football.

He remembers his days on the Probe Death Of Woman, 41 INDIANAPOLIS (UP) statements given by a boy and his step-father were studied today by police investigating the beating of a 41-year-old woman whose nude body was found a week before her first wedding anniversary Easter Sunday. Authorities said Mrs. Gladys Gruenholz met death in her Indianapolis home by "violence." Her husband, Francis, 43, sur-1 rendered voluntarily Sunday night when he learned police sought him for qusetioning. He later was released and no charges were filed against him. Police said the body was found Sunday morning by the victim's West Point baseball team quite fondly, ever, though a foosball knee injury ended his diamond career.

One of his most treasured souvenirs is a box score 'of a game played by Army. D. Eisenhower was an outfielder and 0. Bradley was in the infield. The "Bradley" turned out to be Gen.

Omar Bradley who made five stars and chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If the President's mind turns to golf while wating the opening-day baseball game, it's understandable. A few minutes after the game he'll fly to Georgia and his beloved Augusta National golf club where the big Masters tournament wound up Sunday. son, Bruce. 12.
