General Ridgway Arrives In Europe General Ridgway could hardly have chosen better words than he used on arriving in Europe to take over the supreme Allied command. Replacing a man who has displayed a positive genius for persuading men of diverse backgrounds and beliefs to work together, the general showed his keen awareness that this was to be his primary task also. His experience as United Nations commander in Korea, he said, had convinced him that a successful fighting force could be composed of units from many countries. There troops from 16 nations of languages, creeds, races, and color "found complete mutual confidence in battle." And he (added: If we can do that in one place in spite of all the differences of diet--I see no reason why it languages and nationality- even cannot be done elsewhere- providing common purpose is nations there.

Thus the European were reminded that the, success of the new Supreme Command'er's task rests in large part on the strengthening of their own purpose, already battle-tested in Korea. But they were also reassured that the new commander-whom Communist propaganda greeted as a bloodthirsty butcher and germ-war mitted to the UN ideal of criminal- -is a man deeply peace through cooperation. There should be inspiration for Europe in that fact. The Christian Science Monitor BOYDEN AIRFORCE OFFICER KILLED WHEN TRAINING PLANES COLLIDE Funeral services military honors will be accorded Lt.

It was lowly but satisfying vegetable was so abundant that the federal government was having a hard time finding ways of getting rid of the unwanted surplus. What happened, of course, was that the government withdrew its price support of potatoes with the 1951 crop, and the farmers protected themselves by greatly reducing their acreage plantings. Now the nation has virtually eaten up the curtailed 1951 crop, and the housewife finds hereself in the lean interim period between disappearance of the crop already consumed and the emergence of the new one that will soon from the South.
