Many Millions for Schools 'WHY THERE IS ANY SHORTAGE of money for any public school or college Is mysterious eminence of the Elys -this nation's White House It is also a fact his judgment has repeatedly been more exact than that of his colleagues hi tiie French government When tiie near rebellion of French army leaders in Algeria in May 1958 toppled the Fourth Republic it was Ely's intervention that prevented open civil war and brought De Gaulle to power When French national extremists rose in open revolt in Algiers Prime Minister Michel Debre was unable to restore order It was Paul Ely who during a lightning visit to tiie strife-torn city caused the army to side with De Gaulle and the uprising to collapse' Nothing could be more characteristic of Ely's dislike for publicity and his passion for self-effacement than tiie fact that to this day few Frenchmen are aware of tiie decisive part this man has played in saving France Paul Ely was born in Greece in 1897 tiie son of a Frenchman As a youth he was sent to France and eventually enrolled at Saint Cyr this West Point A major In 1939 when World War II broke out Ely was gravely wounded His left arm has been crippled ever since By EDWARD DYING Herald-Fart Saetal WrIUr Knowing Frenchmen say a person to keep your eye on in France these days is a man known as "the secret savior of the Fifth He is General of the Army Paid Ely No 1 military expert and supreme chief of the general staff At 63 mystery man Ely retires from his present post in July for exceeding the age limit Yet the feeling is strong he will rise further in French public life in some other probably even more important capacity It was Paul Ely's vision and loyalty to Charles de Gaulle that prevented the secession of the European population of Algeria from France and tiie likely collapse of the De Gaulle regime last January The man who saved his country on that occasion is probably the most retiring least spectacular and personally least ambitious figure in any key political position in Europe today His love for anonymity has earned 1dm the nickname of "The Great Since De Gaulle's accession to the presidency of the Fifth Republic the general's influence behind tiie scene has grown steadily It has reached such proportions that malicious observers now dub him grey Why Texas Western College doesn't get Its proper share Is even more mysterious Enongb money Is belne went to take care of all tile schools adequately In the nine months of Its fiscal year September through May the State has spent $349856110 for education That Is $1273000 a day Including Saturdays and Sundays It Is $21015000 more than last year That total of course does not Include the money spent by counties cities and 1800 school districts For the entire year the State alone will spend about $460 million Still there are always aches and pains among school administrators about lack of money It seems a required course for administrators should be "How to Spend Money" Thinking Out Loud Artist Protests Limited Carnival Exhibit Side-Bar Remarks By Poofey Help for Downtown ONE OF THE HANDICAPS OF the Downtown Shopping Center Is the difficulty and cost of parking In San Antonio after noon Saturday autos are allowed to park free at the meters and along the red and yellow curbs which as In El Paso mean no parking The parking lots In downtown San Antonio are beginning to cut their prices to 10 cents an hour on Saturday afternoon That Is also Increasing business El Faso's Downtown Assn might take a look at the San Antonio plan and give' It a trial character of Lenin Marx Stalin Khrushchev and such inhuman monsters A continuation of indiscriminate "peaceful coexistence' philosophy is the rotten core of our degeneration We simply must face up to the indisputable fact that man is master of his own earthly destiny the choice being to whom he shall turn for direction These summit and Geneva meetings the goodwill tours of the President Vice President and Secretary of State all sound good But the very fact that their only force is the further opening of taxpayer's pocket books has proved that money cannot buy friendship or security The record of non accomplishment the futility of trying to be at peace with atheism should resolve us to dissolve any and all parties guilty of violating the Constitution of the United States to re-emphasize the authority of our national manifesto to make unlawful the Communist party in America and to prohibit communistic infiltration within our country Three consecutive adminis 1 Passing the Buck A PLAN to get more water in California that sounds nice but is about a a stupid as one suggested in El Paso In 1951 First there must be a $17 billion bond issue but of course there will be no taxc The people who use the water will pay tiie interest and the bonds In the north end of the State where the Feather River comes down from tiie snow topped Sierra Nevada' there will be a big dam Farther down there will be others And through a canal to be built the water will trickle along the east boundary of the whole State to San Diego which can't get enough water from the Colorado River Come to think of it tiie idea is not near as stupid as that proposed in El Paso In 1951 El Pasoans were asked to vote $11 million worth of bonds for water It was to be gotten from Valley land The City would buy more than 3500 acres for the water rights Naturally the land would be taken out of production At that time the gross income that benefited the community was $200 an acre So in addition to paying $11 million for wells and pipes El Pasoans would lose $700000 of community income a year The public whipped the stupid proposal on the basis of "find out what got and where we stand before we injure one of tiie community's main The thing smelled worse than the water did that year long ago when a Chinaman fell in the reservoir and drowned A few months later in 1952 ANY FAINT HOPE THAT THIS Congress would do anything about the wheat surplus apparently died In the House Two bills were rejected One passed by the Senate and presumably acceptable to President Elsenhower would have cut wheat plantings without raising price supports The other offered higher supports for wheat and several other grains In return lor tighter production controls Neither of these measures even attempted to deal seriously with fundamental farm problems resulting a misguided system which subsidizes overproduction Political timidity In an election year plus the lack of actually constructive proposals again have delayed action on this our top domestic problem with the buck passed to the next Congress Certainly the subject will have a prominent place In the campaign and reforms must be Instituted before we run out of bins for storage and billions to pay for this waste By WESTBROOK PEGLER One day during the war the Russians made a furious complaint to General Elsenhower abusing American fliers who had saved a Russian force of bombers from annihilation by the Germans By accident the Americans found themselves in position to knock down the Germans But the Americans should not have been Pegler I there Oa another occasion an I to bon5 I I iieotensnt gen end sn I I The Russians nevertheless I thanked our Air Force In Lon- "graSl their junior officers because they had no business where they were The American commander took no chances that a German ship had false Russian marks so he shot down the stranger and finished his errand There are probably hundreds of Instances in all brandies in which die Russian conduct baffled the American mind If the Russian deviates from plans and orders he invites punishment even though his initiative brings success The Russians seized and kept American ships which flew on into Russian country after raids on Eastern Germany This had not been agreed upon On die other hand Moscow had not specifically agreed to return American property In die first Incident here mentioned the commander of American fighters protecting our bombers in a mission in the Balkans discovered that his oxygen apparatus was out of fix He had to go down immediately to breathe normally The rest of the American planes followed him When they were under the ckrnd they saw to their surprise a Russian bombardment heading westward and German fighters about to attack them The Americana took the Germans off guard jumped diem and wiped them out The American commander then waved a Think nothing of gesture to die Russian commander and led his force on to its purpose The Russians complained bitterly at mice Why were Americans there? We ignored them In the case cl the Russian lieutenant general the Russians had asked us to bomb an objective which they could not hit It was up to them to keep their planes out of the situation or account for them in advance The American commander did exactly as a Russian would have tried to do In the third case a large American bombardment ran into bad weather flying to an objective which we had agreed to attack for the Russians benefit There was a bomb line running north and south The Russians would not fly west of it nor we to the east of it Too late the1 American commander realized that he had overflown the bomb line into forbidden country Russians fighters Jumped him but theyknew our planes were friends The enemy had ho such ships and could not make such an attack at that stage of the game As the Russians dosed in the American fighters shot down most of them The Russian protest about this was bitter and persistent At last the Russian high command demanded that Eisenhower state what punishment had been inflicted on these Americans not for knocking down Russian planes but for flying beyond the line! Ike replied that it was contrary to American custom to tell outsiders about our discipline and punishments That ended that Herbert Hoover was told of a Russian spy trying doors in file corridor of a hotel He opened many doors and was driven out But in the normal course of a long night in a big hotel he managed to prowl a few rooms Mark Clark wrote of general riding on a Austria with his staff war who undertook to way through cars assigned Clark Clark detailed a sergeant a vestibule to keep all out long afterward a Russian officer tried to intimidate the sergeant The sergeant him dead That was in that case Eisenhower's generals attended negotiations at returned to Ike at with this conclusion we licked the wrong loss that be quoted their to fade no- The peoples of the Soviet Union include

Johnson claimed 502 votes and nomination on the third ballot It looks as if Johnson is going to be nominated Not that Senator Kennedy is not going to make it exactly The real battle is to save the Democratic convention from Adlai (ad Kb with) Stevenson the most credulous national family in the world War is as inevitable as is death itself That Mr President and our Congress do not believe such a state of security has come into existence -is reflected by presidential appeal and senatorial agreement that billions more must be subscribed in our frenzied race to make the United States' military power so great that none will risk or challenge our Why any man or group of men in authority would dare to assure the people that civilization predicated upon weapons of human destruction has so far advanced that war shall be no more passes human acceptance The power index of the Soviet is at the moment atheistic material authority The sole excuse for existance of communism under the' present mandate isi therefore to win control of the world's wealth and to drink the poison of carnal power To state that such fatalists would hesitate to risk mass slaughter in the battle- against human dignity and a peaceful world is to alarmingly underestimate the in Old El Paso a "mystery failed to show up today to testify at the gambling Court of Inquiry before' Justice of the Peace Daugherty

airplane or Scenic Drive Newcomers arriving by air after dusk are surprised and impressed by twinkling lights that stretch for long distances about Mt Franklin Yet a large part of the City's streets are dark This Is especially true In northeastern and far eastern sec- I tlons There are miles of streets In residential areas I By Patricia MacFarlane It is my understanding that the El Paso Sun Carnival art exhibit will this coming year be a non-j uried show open only to local residents As an artist with a deep sense of civic pride for my adopted home of El Paso I must register my opposition to this change in the format of the exhibition In the past few years this has been the one show this City could point to with cultural pride Highly reoognized and qualified people in the field of art judged the show and artists from neighboring areas were invited to submit paintings This led to an exhibit of quality and gave local residents a chance to see some results of other than local talent It added that prestige to the community the Sun Carnival Committee has worked so hard to buBd awrl maintain By voting to change the entry ndes and format of the show the El Paso Art Assn has destroyed the value and esteem of the exhibition-To take away and deny aU standards of accomplishment means to take away quality and incentive This act moves El Paso one giantstep backward in its quest far cultural expansion and progression I implore the Art Assn to reconsider 5110 Beantonne avenue CITIZEN SHARE CONFIDENCE By Charles Denham In Manila President Eisenhower said "Weapons have now come upon

COMMIE ATTACK By Henry Busch In reference to the editorial The Herald-Post of June 20 regarding the speech in Manila I heartily agree with the statement that is becoming monotonous and tiresome to hear this repeated in so many speeches by our top Government officials I think that It is unthinkable to the Kremlin or the Chinese Communist to use H-bombs or any other means to win a war and that this is exactly what they intend to do By lulling ourselves to sleep by this constant repetition is only playing into the Communist hands and I hope this trend of thinking by' our officials will be played down in the future Box 4197 Views on News If Rockefeller should win the GOP presidential nomination he will havs solved one of our toughest interplanetary rocket tiie return from out-erspace
