(International Soundphoto) LEAGUE OF NATIONS: STORY OF TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE1 Donora, April 1 Donora's ap proach to the new spur of the Penn sylvania Turnpike Is still undecided by state highway engineers, b. P. Longs treet, of Uniontown, district engineer, declared at a dinner meeting Thursday night of the Donora Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Longstreet traced the course of the proposed high-speed Dream Highway extension from New Stanton to Washington, where it joins the National Pike.

The Interchange at North Belle Vernon or Prlcedale will likely be tied into a highway from Donora, Mr. Lang-street said, although definite plans arc still In the making, He said that final plans have been drawn up from New Stanton In Westmoreland County to Bent-leyvlllc and thn bids will be advertised this coming spring. The total length of the high-speed rond will be 38.3 miles, and the project Is expected to be completed within three years. It will bo four-lane road, with a concrete division and will have a total of 12 Interchanges or clover-leaves. One of the approaches will be located at North Belle Vernon and another at Speers.

Mr. Long-street Indicated that plans will be formulated to tie in the Donora approach at the best possible location, presumably at the North Belle Vernon interchange. However, he added the final plans remain to be worked out. The district engineer stated that Pennsylvania's highway obligations are the "biggest in the nation." and that the proposed Turnpike spur will be only one of the road-building projects which will make this state the greatest motoring center in America. Extension of the Dream Highway from New Stanton to the National Pike at Washington will naturally affect every town through which it passes, and the chambers of commerce of all valley towns, including Donora, are vitally interested in getting a feasible road approach to the spur.

Some of the Donora merchants last night discussd the subject of Route 906 and whether anything could be done to alleviate the condition of the road so that it could be used as a possible approach to the Turnpike extension. Mr. Longstreet said that so far as he knew, no plans were being set up to deal with the problem of re-conditioning the road, if such a thing were possible. Prior to the principal address, J. Wosthaver, genera superintendent of the Donora Steel and iWre Works of the American Steel and Wire Company, disclosed that the plant has blue prints ready for the construction of a new rod mill.

Production also will be increased over the pre-war years, Mr. West-haver said. The prosperity of Donora, he continued, is dependent upon the prosperity of the American Steel and Wire Company, and he said he believed that the company had a right. to expect a reasonable day's WORDS OF WISDOM Accuracy twin brother of hone-ity; Inaccuracy of dishonesty.

He said' thnt the merchants of Donora, who came into contact during the course of the year with some 05 per cent of the company's employees, could lend considerable weight to the problem of employee relations.

Burgess August Z. Chambon spoke briefly on the subject ot parking meters for the boroush. He said he thought the trend in the entire valley was toward the 'Mitallation of meters, although the time was hurdly ripe to install them In Donora. Burgess Chombon declared that revenue from meters would run between $5,000 end $10,000 a year. He said that meters would also be good for business generally.

The presiding officer at the Chamber dinner was Bert Kaller, recently elected president of the group, Mr. Fuller stated that the organization should get behind the Donora Library and Community Center and should do something about cooperating with the local Boosters' Club in that group's efforts to provide suitable recreational facilities for the town's youth.

Constables Fail In Two Attempts At Bingo In Charleroi Two attempts were made by out-of-town constables last week to raid bingo games in Charleroi but no one was arrested. Officers went to a fraternal club on McKean avenue Friday night but their efforts were balked by a locked door. They stood on the porch a short time and then left. On Thursday night, three constables conducted a "flop" raid on a game at the Good Will club in Charleroi. They found more than 200 members playing the popular pastime "just for fun." There was no money in evidence.

There is not much else in Geneva which the League can give to the United Nations as a heritage ex cept the vast volume of League records, the full story of a quarter of a century of successive failures, a perfect chart of inertia, lost causes, evidence that nations still resort to force to gain their points, and a convincing definition of the League's failure "Too little and too la'e."

In a series of three dispatches, a brief hist fry of the League, its weaknesses and errors, its accomplishments and fail urns, is told by Ralph llcin-zen, I'nited Press corrcj.H:ndeiit.

April 1 Man's first world-wide effort to maintain the peace by moral persuasion alone, through the co-operation of nations, will end April 8. when the League of Nations General Assembly meets in Geneva, Switzerland, to vote itself out of existence.

Its main duties have Veen taken over by UNO the United Nations Organization. Unarmed militarily in a world which had the potential of SO.f'O.-OCO soldiers, the League of Nations was self-admitted failure in less i than 20 of effort even before1 World War II began. Since 193s.1 with the exception of a special as-j sembly to expel Soviet Russia as an aggressor against Finland, the, League of Nations had ceased to function politically. Some of its other activities still thrive. Bore Hopes ef Man The I-atiUe as rrca-ed by the Versailles treaty after the last war was a tortured version of a p.icific family of nations conceived by President Woodiow Wilson.

In its formntivo days it bore the peace hopes of most of mankind. But in effect it failed even before it began when it was rejected by the United States Senate in November. 1919 two months before it formally came into existence. After failing to help reduce the tax burden of mankind by promoting voluntary disarmament or arms limitation, nt the Geneva Disarmament Conference of June. the League fell short in every major test of its ability to curb aggression without resorting to the use of arms.

It failed to prevent Japan's conquest of Manchuria, the Italian rape of Ethiopia, foreign intervention in Spain's civil war and it was helpless nt the time of Munich in 1938 and at the start of the second world in lv09. It tried, but failed, to halt the Russian Red Army's aggression in Finland. From failure to failure, the League of Nations lost political and mora prestige until in 1938 the Geneva institution, fully cognizant of its inherent weakness, voluntarily quit. The April 8 ceremony this year will be a mere formality. The League of Nations will be interred with flowers and ontions, bat the League really died stillborn in 1919.

This waji not the first attempt of men to seek strength by union in some form of League. Two centuries before Christ, 12 Greek states, trying to recover from the destruction of the Trojan war. banded for common defense into the Achaean League. The Swabian league, a coalition of German ci'ies and principalities pledged to the preservation of peace, worked successfully for more than two centuries until it collapsed in 1488. There were Holy Leagues against protestantism, coalition of the Pope and the Catholic Kings of France and Spain; there was a successful Hansentic League for commerce, League of Armed Neutrality, against England, only a century Baxter Pigford EXCAVATING ltd Foundations Dug 1.
