It will Mdie delay much 1 temce, MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The to OOBS1CANA, JUNE 9, 1003 WE NEED ALLIES At his most recent press conference President hower expressed his disagreement with Senator Taft's "go it alone in Korea" speech delivered fore the National Confer- 3 ence of Christians and Jews. Taft said in part that he be- lieved we should "abandon any idea of working with the United Nations in the 1 East and should reserve to "ourselves a free hand in Korea." He also said that he believed the United Nations but not as an effec- tve means of preventing ag gression. President Eisenhower, on the other hand, does not think any single free nation can stand alone. Nor does he believe the United States can pick and choose the areas of the world in which 1. we will co-operate lies and those, in which we will go it alone.

It is easy to be impatient with some of our allies. It is true that we are carrying the major share, of the den in Korea and that our treasure has been spent-lav- ishly to bolster the free world. But without our allies L' npiie of efforts to halt Communism would be enough. We are, after all, one' nation and we cannot hope to stand alone against the; massed strength of the Communists. At his press conference the President said that we would have to share the f.

ups and downs of our rela- tionships with our allies His point is well taken. 'TEST FOR DE GASPERI Premier Alcide de Gasperi of Italy is a remark- -c able man. For seven and a half years he has headed I 1 the government of Italy and despite opposition from one of the strongest Communist parties in. Europe he has kept Italy qut of Red hands without sacrificing demo- i cratic processes. If Italy had been harnessed with' the same instability of government that has bedeviled F.ance, it might be in the Communist camp today.

A great deal of the credit for the resurgence of democrat cy in Itay.must go to de Gas' peri. The old man faces what may prove to. be the est test of his career in the forthcoming elections. The Communists and the parties of the extreme Right, some of them neo-Fascist in principle, have demonstrated more strength than ever Premier de Gasperi has conducted a tireless campaign throughout Italy. 'His personal popularity far exceeds that of his party, the Christian Democrats.

He has hopes that. -Right- wing Socialists, Liberals and Republicans will garner enough votes to form a coalition of power allied against both the extreme Right and the extreme Left. The election is scheduled for June 7. It may well prove to be one of the'most important days in the his- -tory of Italy as well as the history of the free world. If de Gasperi is returned to power his grip on the reins may not be as tight as it hasi been.

But defeat would represent a serious setback 'to the forces of democracy in Italy and to the West. SUEZ KEYSTONE The Suez Canal is a vital link in Britain's lifeline. It ties the mother country with the dominions and commonwealth lands in Asia and at the same time offers a 'route for the defense of the interests of the free" world. extremeists in Egypt have their way this keystone may be kicked out of place. Premier Naguib and others I favor forcing the British out I of the Suez canal zone.

Edgar A. Guest THE POET OF THE PEOPLE (Copyright, Edgar A. Guest.) CONSULTATION Surgeon, heart specialist, eye man an ear All gathered about. 'Smoke?" I said: "Yea," and the three said "Oh, dear! That you'll cut out." 'Read?" said the eye man, I nodded my head, And sad were his looks As he put down his flashlight and solemnly said: "For you no more books." 'Eat?" and I answered: "Just three times a day." They shuddered at that. "You must do without I heard one of them say, 'You're getting too fat," "Since 'give up' appears the unanimous thought Of you very wise men," I said, "One more habit which tell Of I ought: I breathe now and then." Aden, Iraq, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Pakistan and Australia would all be affected by the evacuation of British troops from the canal region.

The price Britain would have to pay for getting out of the Suez Canal zone might well prove too high. If Naguib and his supporters were to take an intelligent position about the evac- aiion, if they are willing to make some concessions to that Suez would not be left unprotected, a solution might be worked out. Continuation of the narrow', nationalistic attitude on the art of the Egyptian leaders could cause a great deal of harm to Britain and to the West. Egypt would also suffer if, because of their blind stubbornness, the Suez Canal zone were to fall into the hands of the Reds! Whether Naguib likes it or not the safety and future of his people is tied to that of West. THE BRAINS The turning point of World War II may have come in 1942, when Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazi ruler of Czechoslovakia, was murdered by Czech patriots.

A new life of Heinrich Himmler, Hitler's head of the Gestapo, is on familiar ground when it reveals Himmler as Hitler's right- hand mart and the source of much of the cruelty that characterized Nazi government. This new book, by Willi Frischauer, presents, a novel viewpoint when it discloses Heydrich as a man who dominated Himmler and had a remorseless intelligence that was by far the most impressive among the Nazi 'leaders. When Heydrich died, there were plenty left who had his cruelty but none with his brains. From that time Nazi Germany began to slip back. CHILDREN'S READING The year 1953 has witnessed a perfect rash of attempts at book censorship.

Victor Waybright, publisher, points out in the Publishers' Weekly that the attempts to prevent teen-agers from getting hold of undesirable books totally to lack faith in the role of parents, the school and of the church; they would deny to adults what may possibly be read by the young." Attempts to keep children from contamination might properly begin with television programs and other of popular entertainment. Parents seem to have no control as to what material of this sort comes to the attention of children. The movement for censorship is apparently meant to reinforce their own restrictions by calling in the police. It'is a continuation into later life of the threat of- fpred by some unwise parents, "If you don't stop, I'll have the policeman get you." General Alfred M. Gruenther, who is the new head of the Supreme Allie'd Forces in Europe, must be quite pleased with the job.

One of his predecessors, President Eisenho can convince him that there is plenty of chance for advancement. An Ontario woman has just died at 106 with the record of never having seen a movie. Perhaps that is why she so long. Any man can have the last word with a woman if he really wants it. All Jje has to do is make sure 'that it is flattering.

Modern equipment and Expert Service. Sun Want Ads Bring Results. SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS The use of clover on the J. C. Park farm In the Rice community, protected more than two miles of terraces from damage during spring rains.

"The use of clover on my farm assisted in saving more than two miles of terraces during a seven inch rain," Park stated to C. E. Huchinson, Soil Conservation Service technician. Seven inches of rain fell in the upper the Grays Creek watershed in the spring of 1953. Park's farm lies in this part of the Gray's Creek watershed.

The effects of this seven inch rain were observed on an 80 acre tract of the Parks farm. The entire 80 acres of land had been terraced, and 40 acres of it had been planted to clover the preceding year. The other 40 acres had received no previous treatment. Seven inches of rain fell on these two tracts of land within a period of a few hours. The terraces broke and the water ran over all of the terraces on the untreated field.

Over two miles of terraces were damaged. To rebuild these terraces it would cost around $320.00. Of the adjoining 40 acres which had been treated with clover, Park said. "I had only about one-half the run-off on 'the clover land that I had on the land where no clover had been planted, and to top it all, I didn't have a single terrace to break or run over on the land where clover had been grown." One can easily see that in this case the clover paid off not oflly through soil improvement, grazing benefits and seed harvest, but also by saving a complete terrace system from damage.

Montgomery Gets Four Firsts In Sanctioned Event Local Contender Keeps Point Lead Over Opponents Hundreds of Corsicarrans watched Texas outboard racers vie on choppy Lake Halbert Sunday in a dozen motorboat contests sanctioned by the National Outboard Association. The largely partisan crowd got what it wanted an excellent showing on the part of Deanie Montgomery of Corsicana. The youngster came in with four first places and a second place to maintain his lead over the Texas field in the total point contest for the season. Denton Entry Close In all, Montgomery picked up 1,900 points'in Sunday's races here, bringing his aggregate total for the season to 5,600. He now is qnly 200 points ahead of his nearest rival, Jack Bailey of Denton, Who got four seconds and a third place in the races here.

Montgomery got top honors in four races both heats of the Clas.i 'A runabout driving his 2-T entry; first place in both heats of the A hydroplane, driving his 514- boat; and second place to Alex Weatherby of Paris, 1951 Class champion, in the Class hydroplane. Montgomery Was leading Weatherby in this race, but motor trouble caught him early in the race, and he nursed his boat home in second place. The races were moved to 'the northwest neck of the Lake, in hopeb that the headland would shield the water from the south wind and make the water somewhat smoother for the contestants. Lions Club Sponsor The Corsicana Lions Club, sponsor of the event for the second time here, had no official figures Monday on attendance, other than 16 say it came out "in the black." The club's community and charity fund will benefit from whatever proceeds come from the races. The club paid out $650 in prizes to the racers, and was well-repaid in the matter of entries.
