That vas the day when the final Rus- lian note was delivered to him New York, the day when ail he world wondered what was in note. Would the Russians yes or no? The note reached Jessup's of- 2ce, No.

He knew it was climax of his weeks of negotiation and hidden meetings with Malik and Gro- snyko. But nobody in his office could read Russian frantic search for a translator an hour passed Jessup hid the secret document under his desk blotter another hour Svery year vith polio, whereas 30,000 lose heir vision. Miss Wiesenfeld's story began three years ago when she founded the National Council to combat blindness with a capital of eight dollars and no office. Now she is the "Joan of Arc" of the blind and near-blind people al over the country.

Among the things she told the congressmen: "There are 260, 000 blind in this country Relief and welfare for them costs the government S30.000.00C in a single year. Yet only $400, 000 is spent annually for re search into the reasons fo blindness. In most cases of fad ing vision, the doctors must si helplessly by doing nothing. "But I have never lost faiti in the heart of America," con eluded Miss Wiesenfeld.

they seriously questioned the ad visability of sending large amounts" of arms to Europe under the North Atlantic Pact. The joint chiefs of staff were cautious in making iheir statement, pointed out that they were making no recommendation, that the final decision was up to the State Department. Nevertheless, from a military viewpoint they said they could not justify the expense of arming twenty-five European divisons. They also expressed doubt as to what would become of these arms in the hands of Western European armies, if Russia invaded. Note 1--Private comment of lenators who heard about the joint chiefs of staff recommen- flation was: "why tell iis so Jate? Without arms the North Atlantic Pact becomes an empty shell." jf ote 2--While details weren't discussed at the above meeting, it's understood that the nub of the problem is tanks.

The U. S. Army could send rifles, machine guns, some artillery with no loss. But it has no tanks to spare. European military, especially the French, point out that modern army without tanks is like an army with pitchforks.

It couldn't last a week against the Red Army's Stalin tanks--considered the most powerful in the world. Russia has eight tank divisions between the Vistula and Oder Rivers alone. Note 3--The joint chiefs of staff include Army Chief Gen. Omar Bradley. Navy Chief Admiral Louis Denfeld.

Messenger-boy Vishinsky -The foreign ministers' conference convinced Secretary Acheson of one thing: Molotov is still boss of Russia's foreign policy, not Vishinsky. The Paris Con- "erence took twice as long as it because Vishinsky couldn't make even the most minor decision without sending to Moscow for instructions. When Molotov was foreign minister, ic had much more authority. Comrnunizing Asia Intelligence sources have learned that Soviet has sent 362 key corn- intern agents to Siam to set up a base in Bangkok to win over Southeast Asia. The Russian agents arrived with printing presses, paper supplies, and short-wave radio.

They even nave their own air fores--pri- vate plane? for the use of the Russian diplomats. The Red agents are concentrating their fire on the whole Southeast Asia perimeter, all the way to Manila. BRASS HAT BENEFITS Representative Pat Sutton of Tennessee, the most combat- decorated World War II veteran congress, lost the second round of the fiKht against the military pay raise bill. However, he and hard-hitting con- Fucolo of Massachusetts, who led the fight with lim. didn't come out of the fray emptyhanded.

As a result of their original fight, which s-jnt the first bill for jrass-hat pay hikes back to the Services Committee, the two freshmen legislators forced the following compromises in the measure: Administration cohorts -n the farm states were called meet in DCS Moines to whoop it for the Brannan farm program. A dispatch indicated that neither the American Farm Bureau Fedeiation or the National Grange-- largest a farm rep- accoid In gen- most important general organizations resented. Previously they had indicated that they were not in with the" Brannan plan. eral, their expressed views are that it would be disastrous to agriculture, costly to the country; that they preferred the Aiken-Hope plan enacted by Congress last with its lesser money benefits and its design to bring about any needed adjustments in agncultuie. If the reconnized leaders of agriculture are not for the Brannan plan, then whv the beating of drums for it? That's easy: the administration counts on the strong appeal it can make to the pocketbooks of both farmers and consumers at the expense of taxpapers, of course.

The Northeast Farm Foundation, a fact-finding agency main- 1. Pay boosts for the lowest- grade enlisted men. ignored in the first bill. 2. A cut in raises voted top- ranking officers, saving the taxpayers about $100,000.000.

3. Restoration of family allowances for enlisted men which the original bill would have repealed. During the bristling debate on the Furcolo amendment to equalize hazardous-duty bonuses for ail grades, congressman Sutton told collcKues: "A private's life is as precious to him tained by the major farm groups of the Northeast, has analysed the situation. It says: "The Brannan plan poses a basic question for farmeBS. It isn't just do we want the Brannan plan; the question is do we want a full-scale subsidy system.

If we do, then the Brannan plan or something like it will have to be reckoned with sooner or later. "The present price-support system is a partial subsidv program. It started out to be a kind of stop-loss rnsurance for farmers while they were taking the impact of a postwar readjustment period. Then i moved on toward a more permanent form. "But jcovcrnment support of prices If hinh enough to please the rank and file of producers.

They cal next step in the develop ment of a subsidized economj It is an unevitable step if we want that kind of an economy because price supports in the lonjr run tend to become either unsatisfying to producers or in tolerable to consumers. "The emergence of this proposal lays a basic choice on the dooistep of farmers and farm leaders. The alternatives are: "1. Turn backward, probably via the Aiken law, and retreat, however slowly, towards some kind of a stop-loss or non-stimulating insurance system: or "2. Go forward deeper into a subsidized economy via the Brannan plan or some variation of it, with the hope of adequate income assured from tax money and with the certainty of rigid control of our farm business by the government.

"This is the significance of the Brannan plan. It is more than a snap political offering. It is as inevitable as Scene 2 in an unfolding play. The question is not whether we like Scene 2 as such, but whether want to stage this kind of a play? "There Would seem to be no question that, considering the lonK-time interests of Northeastern farming, we have far less to lose by retreatinc for the present via the Aiken law." 8-19's To Be Beaten Into Kitchen Ware SAN ANTONIO, Tex. The fabulous B-19 is heading for the kitchen.

It will be parked on the shelves in form of pots and pans. The B-19 plane was the forerunner of the war-famed B-29, the world-girdling B-50, -and the giant of the air, the B-36. The B-19. begun in 1936. never reached combat, but the lessons learned in its construction, and its flight qualities will be a part of the air force operational plan for years to come.

Air Force officials said most of the almuinum hull would be salvaged for kitchen utensils and other useful articles.

Mansion On Hilltop Dedicated To Unity AFTON, white marble mansion that gleams the sun atop Afton Mountain near here will become a world cultural center for "the unification of mankind" if the foundation which established it reaches its goal.

It is more than an idle dream to its founders. Colgate W. Darden, president of the University of Virginia and former governor, said at its dedication that the mountain top estate represents "an actual establishment of breadth and vision." Classes on "the love of God, beauty and the principles of balance in nature" already are being held in the mansion, named "Swannanoa," The classes are being taught by Dr. Walter Russell, seventy- seven-year-old artist and head of the Swannanoa Foundation, which bought the former millionaire's mansion. More than TOO persons visited Swannanoa when it was opened.

Its lower floors have been filled with paintings, sculpture and statuary. Dr. Russell said the foundation plans to erect a 300-foot statute of Christ on the same Blue Ridge mountain top and later another inspirational stature representing the Sermon on the Mount. Clean Times CHIIF of the U. S.

by Robiiuon Eddie Robinson Likely To Get All Star Bid CHICAGO, Robinson, twenty-nine-year-old infielder for the Washington Senators, seemed a sure bet today to start as first baseman for the American league in the i x- teenth annual all-star baseball game July 12 in Brooklyn. As balloting for team positions moved into its last twenty-four hours, Robinson was 338,426 votes ahead of Mickey Vernon, Cleveland, Indian fust sacker. The poll ends at midnight Wednesday. Some 2.858,534 votes had been tabulated so far, but the Chicago Tribune which was count- THE LINE OF LIFE There's a lovely thing at San Louis Obispo, California. It's on the doors of the old Mission which Father Junipero Serra built long before California was part of these United States.

Actually his Indian converts did the work under his kindly guidance, using their Indian symbols as well as the Christian cross. It is one of these symbols of which I speak, a strange and lovely thing, and it means as much today as it did hundreds of years ago to the Indians who first created it. This symbol is a simple curving line, painted in crude colors on the door. It stretches from sill lintel and it represents life from birth to death. It is a symbol that fits every man, be he white or black, yellow or brown.

And in its shallow curves there lies ili the ups and downs, all the fear and hope, the wonder and delight that must come to any and every man in the course of his days. They were simple, unlettered people, these western barbarians who built California's mis sions so long ago. But this they knew--that life holds its fill of bitter and sweet for all of us And none of us may know from whence we came or where we go. And Father Serra. out of hi: deep wisdom, saw that this sav age symbol was truly as blessed as any Christian rite and let the dark hands paint on the Mission's every door.

So now it stands before the tourist's wondering eyes but wiser eyes see in it an immortal truth--that the best that any man can do is to hold his head high and move his feet unswervingly upon the winding path that is the symbol of all human life to bear himself like a tall prince until the end.
