Spackman told an audi ence of 500 in San Bernardino Val ley College Auditorium Thursday night that it's time America "let the cantankerous Europeans stand or fall by themselves" and stop handing out billions of dollars in what are really bribes.

Spackman, chairman of the VC social science division, said ne suspects they will stand, and that they will "respect us more for it and like us a whole lot better." Spackman's address was a fea ture of the United Nations Week observance in San Bernardino. The professor, whose speech was entitled "Can Europe Unite?" said the only way Europeans will uni fy is through self-interest and they cannot be prodded or bribed by America into reaching that goal. 'Millions of Europeans recognize the advantages of unity and are willing to work toward it," he said. 'but only in their own way and in their own sweet time." Spackman said that the most significant and promising step yet taken toward that end is the "great Coal and Steel Community." He pointed out that the mutual agreement on natural resources was reached "without our urging, without our money," and that it was an idea devised by Europeans for Europeans and accepted because of an immediate advantage to them. State Rests Case In Murder Trial The prosecution rested its case Thursday morning in the murder trial of William A.

Duncan, 64, charged with the killing of Myrl Swanson, railroad fireman, last June 30 in a cafe on the outskirts of Needles. Superior Judge Carl B. Hilliard recessed court until 10 a.m. Monday, when Atty. James L.

King will open the case for the defense. The universal language of music and dance will be presented to San Bernardino residents at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Valley College Auditorium during the United Nation Week's program entitled International Folk Dance pageant. Under the direction of Mrs. Marguerite Clapp, dancers of many nationalities will execute the dances of their ancestors.

The theme of the evening is "Let All The People Dance." National dances will include Ha Suit Expected to Last 2 Days Over In 10 Minutes A $3,484 suit for assault, originally scheduled for two days before Presiding Superior Judge R.

TB Seal Sales Chairmen Will Meet Tuesday in S.B. Seal sale chairmen and seal sale workers of San Bernardino and Riverside counties will meet at the Cafe Madrid in the Harris Co. store at 3 t.m. Tuesday for an in structional meeting and tea. William E.

Engel, San Bernadi- no County seal sale chairman, said. "We are depending upon the work of our community chairmen to reach our goal of $53,000. The eratitude of all the people whose lives will be saved because funds to carrv on the tuberculosis con trol program will be available for the next year is extended to our seal sale volunteers." ued use of San Bernardino's antiquated Juvenile Hall received impetus Thursday morning when a County Grand Jury committee expressed itself as "shocked" at the conditions found there. The report, filed with County Clerk Harry L. Allison by the 1953 Grand Jury's probation department and juvenile hall committee, gives high praise to the depart ment, Verdemont Ranch for Boys and the staff of Juvenile Hall.

James E. Cunningham Thursday reported than an overly optimistic impression might have been gained from his speech to the San Bernardino Junior Chamber of Commerce on the availability of Feather River water to this area in the next few years.

While the project is going faster than he had originally expected, it still looks as though it will be at least seven years before the giant construction program is well under way and at least several more years after that before Feather River water would reach the San Bernardino area. "By that time." the senator de clared, "this area will have grown so much that it will need both Metropolitan and Feather River water." He pointed out that a vast amount of work will be necessary before the Feather River project can be completed. Only one item, but a major one, will be the relocation of the Western Pacific Railroad tracks through the river's canyon to pave way for actual construction of the dam.

Mosier Thursday night told the City Planning Commission, that certain eastern industrial firms have expressed a sincere interest in establishing western branches in this area. Mosier based his assertion on information he received while in eastern industrial capitals on a recent trip to attend a planniig directors' convention. On the basis of Mosier's report, the Commission requested that he take immediate action in contacting county planning Director Robert A. Covington and other directors in adjacent communities with a view to forming a coordinating committee to consider uniform planning in contiguous areas. Mosier said he thought such a group could furnish valuable information to industrialists interested in the area.

He referred to proper industiral sites, land prices, rail facilities and water and sew age facilities. On his trip Mosier said he talked to automotive manufacturers as well as commercial furniture firms who were actively interested in West Coast locations.
