Thursday Nov. 5. 1953 THE PHAROS-TRIBUNE PROGRAM FOR LOGANSPOR1 1. An Operative Planning CommulioQ 2. An Adequate Civu 3.

An Adequate Sewerage and Garbage Disposal Syttem. 4. Sufficient Parking Facilities The question of providing room in the Cass County court house for the Cass Selective Service headquarters should be given serious consideration before that body space. At present, the county commissioners are over the question of whether or not is available. Every family in Cass County which has a boy between trie of 18 and 26 years has a direct interest in the location of the draft headquarters.

It would be a matter of great inconvenience and some expense if every registrant were compelled to travel to the Miami countv court house every time he has business with the draft board; yet the state selective Korvife director has already issued a statement that it probably will be necessary to move the office to Peru if the rent-free headquarters in the local court house are taken away. While we do not have any completely vac- fin.1 rooms in the court house, the draft board was using one end of the court library prior the start of the renovating program in the court house. The amount of space taken up relatively small. It would appear to us that in the interest 01' economy and convenience to the public, the draft board should be allocated quarters in the local court hou.se. The French are finally cutting their cloth to fit their pnc.ketbooks.

They have granted independence to one of the three rebellious colonies in Southeastern Asia. This is the kimr- (1'im of Laos. A treaty just signed in Paris declares Laos "fully sovereign and independent" the French Union. A like offer is expected to be made to the other two, Vietnam and Cambodia. France thus is beginning to form a confederacy of mother stale and dependencies on the order of the British Commonwealth.

Canada retains nominal connection with Great Britain, but is free to take any step she sees fit. Presumably she could even declare war on the mother country. The strength of such a loose association seen in the two world wars, when the Dominions could have kept out of the struggle, but because of the freedom which Great Britain had given them, entered willingly beside the British. Prudent Frenchmen hone for a like outcome in territories such as Al- UL-ria. Tunis arid Morocco, to say nothing of lessor areas.

An irnmr-diate outcome of the Laos agreement, especially if followed by pacts with Vietnam 'and Cambodia, will be to stop the drain of expense in Indo-China which, more than any'Jitng else, is crippling France in L'unnje.

Drew Pearsan'i MERRY-GO-ROUND NEW TERROR WEAPON Drew Pearson Says: Ike takes his brother's advice on farm problems; Milton Eisenhower supports Ezra Benson on soil conservation; diplomats puzzled at Ike's failure to meet King and Queen of Greece, WASHINGTON Some of the President's most potent advisers pulled wires at the White House last week over two different policies but ended up with completely opposite results. On the economic front.

CO? Sen. Ed'Thaye of Minnesota phoned the White House demanding that Ike get a new chief of his smail business administration. Thye gst ills way. William D. head of small business, was pre-emptorily fired.

Or, the farm front, GOP Sen. Frank Carlson of Kansas, one of Ike's closest friends and political advisers, called to ask thnt reorganization of the Soil Conservation Service be delayed. Carlson did not get his way. Early Monday morning Secretary of Agriculture Benson called a press conference to announce that the reorganization of soil conservation go ahead forthwith. In other words, Senator Thye of Minnesota, not especially close to Ike, won out on his plea regarding small business; while Carlson of Kansas, who Is close lo Ike, failed.

Furthermore, other potent. GOP politicians backed up Carlson Congressman Cliff Hope of Kansas, Gcorae Bender of Ohio, and Senator Young of. North Dakota, all However, Ike fired one man. Mitchell: and supported the other man, Ezra Benson, to the hilt. Some people want to know why.

The answer Is fairly simple namely, the President's brother. Milton Elsenhower. Milt is strongly backing Benson. Furthermore Milt warns the iand- granl colleges to take over a large part of the Soil Conservation which Senator Carlson, el nl, don't want: taken over. Milt is president of a land-grant college, Penn State.

He was formerly president of another land- grant college, Kansas State college at Manhattan. Ever since he was an assistant in. the department of agriculture under the Democrats, Milton Eisenhower has be- Jieved that soil conservation and various other services should be taken out of Washington and put. in lite hands of the coi- Furthermore, there is about in the budget to be distributed among the Umcigrant colleges and their extension services to handle certain phases of soil conservation under the new setup. So.

as between his brother avi Republican politicians, even close politicians, Ike siood with his brother. Thai was why Secretary Benson took the unusual step of calling a a. m. press conference Lo announce Flatly that soil conservation -was going be reorganized, congressional pressure notwithstanding. Touring Greek Monarchs Seldom have reigning monarchs of Europe gore to such pains to visit almost every corner of the U.S.A.

as King Paul and Queen Frederika of Grcere. From inspecting farms around Aurora, to visiting friends of the blind in Boston, and congratulating City Commissioner Christopher of San Francisco, the king and queen will painstakingly get acquainted with almost every walk ot American life. For a while, however. looked as if their trip had run into a snag. Arriving in New York, their majesties were informed that President Eisenhower was not going lo meet them at the airport in Washington.

This was contrary to established diplomatic protocol, and for a brief moment. Queen Frederika indicated might nol go on to Washington. She would go to Boston. Toledo, Detroit and all the other cities but not Washington. Reason for the royal sensitiveness is that the head of a stale al- ways goes to meet another head of a state.

When a king, queen or president has the long trip across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, it's considered courteous for the President to go lo the railroad station or airport to meet them. And since the king and queen of Greece came to the U.S.A. on the official invitation of the U.S. government, Queen Frederika was unhappy, felt that Greece was being snubbed. Naturally, the royal party knew that President Truman came to the airport to meet all sorts of dignitaries from the President of France to the president of Brazil and rhe queen of Holland.

lie even bounced down lo the nil-port when Dean Acheson came back from missions to Europe. A state department official, asked wily President Eisenhower didn't meet the Greeks king and queen, said he thought it was because he didn't want to meet various Latin- American presidents due to arrive later. Another state department official explained: "The President ju.st doesn't like Newsmen who called the Burning Tree Country Club to see if fke was golfing f-hal day it being Wednesday and his customary day for golf were given the pat answer: "Tile President is meeting the King and Queer, of Greece." However, he did not meet them until their majesties drove up to the While House and walked up the steps. Persuasive Ambassador Pol- iiis meanwhile had deftly induced the queen to proceed with planned itinerary. In the end, the royal couple made a tremendous hit in the nation's capital.

Everyone liked them and they seemed glad they came. Note On their trip across the U.S.A.. the king and queen will vlsil with such distinguished Greek- Americans as George E. Johnson of Sacramento. Spyros Skouras, the Hollywood motion picture rnogus, and William G.

Angelo Patri Danger Seen In Children Use of the word "never" often results in repercussions. But 11 can certainly be used without fear of contradiction or exception, so far as concerns leaving children atone in a house or an apartment.

Never leave them without ar. older person to look after them. Those put in charge should be responsible individuals, persons who can be depended upon to be vigilant. So far as it is possible. the person guarding the children should know the family and the home, also the youngsters.

This may a relative or a friend. The main idea, however, is that youngsters should not he ieft alone. The reason for havr.g somebody to look after children is obvious. You never know what the next moment may bring. Tilings lock all right and it might seem that a trip to the nearby store which would lake only a few minutes, would be quite safe.

It. might be for hun- reds of then the unexpected happens. What should a busy mother There is always a way. If nobody else is immediately available, ask your neighbor to keep an eye on your children until you return. You might even ask the policeman on the comer, for policemen will always lend a helping hand whenever the situation arises.

A mother had to go to tile drugstore for medicine for the baby. She asked the tenant of the adjoining apartment to listen for any sign of trouble from the baby and his 3-year-old brother. She explained that she would not be gone long lime enough to get a prescription filled. Only a few moments after the mother left, the neighbor heard howls and screams from the apartment. She darted into the apartment, where she discovered the 3- year-old boy, who somehow had dragged his baby brother from the The document discusses what the American attitude should be toward the inhabitants of Siberia, in the U.

It was eventually learned that a towel hanging over the stove had dropped on the lighted burner and the blaze had spread to a close-by curtain. The fire soon extinguished and neither of the children was hurt. But there might have been a tragedy in that home had not the mother asked the neighbor to watch out for the youngsters and if the neighbor had not hastened into the apartment as soon as she heard the cnikl scream. Accidents happen.

even when precautions have been taken. But isn't it wise to have an older person in chat ye of children, no matter how short a time one may be absent? Continuing to say "'don't" does not teach a child obedience, but proper training will. Dr. Patri tells how to train a child in obedience in his booklet No. 301.

McCarthy (UP) Rep. Timothy P. Sheehan said today after a trip to Europe that people there have an erroneous "genera! opinion" that Sen. Joseph R. "is another Hitler and has gone too far in his investigations." 'The only reasonable conclusion 1 can reach is that the wire services reporting the facts from the United States are not giving the European people a complete and true picture of what Senator McCarthy is trying to accomplish," he said.

Sheehan made the statement in a newsletter to his constituens reporting on his impressions of a (rip to England. France. Sweden, Norway and Denmark. He spent most of his time in the last three countries. "Everyone seemed to know of Senator McCarthy and his investigations," and the subject was always "broached at the very beginning of conversations." he said.

Ifound the people derived their opinions from Ihe local newspapers which carry the wire service reports from the United States," Sheehan said. He adde that even U. S. officials abroad are not getting a true picture of McCarthy. Two different embassy employes admitted to me that they did "not receive true facts about Senator McCarthy due to the ype of American newspapers available to them, as well as their own information services," Sheehan said.
