The Mueller Co. is the latest to do so.

It will move four houses in the 500 block West Cerro Gordo street to provide a parking area. The Mueller of course, is not in the downtown business district, but its aggressive action toward easing its parking problem is typical of Decatur merchants who are tired of waiting for the city or A. of C. to act A parking committee has been named by the A. of but has done little since its organization.

The city planning committee outlined a plan for obtaining off-street parking for the downtown area through merchant co-operation. It took this group two years to draw this plan. Now, the A. of C. committee says that such off-street facilities should be owned by the city.

This, it is said, is to assure continued use of parking lots. So, there is a conflict in the proposals. What does the city say? It is waiting for the outcome of a case now being reviewed by the Supreme court, which will decide whether cities can issue bonds to buy land for parking lots. In the meantime, farsighted merchants and industries which can wait no longer are taking forceful action. And, until the city or A.

of C. takes aggressive action, Decatur's lucrative retail business will continue to be driven to city-edge areas where parking facilities are available. 8 years old Her mother sold the carnival and retired to private life since she did not teer. the fact is that the Soviet reserves i In that predicament the classic.

The theory would seem to be something like this: suppose American atomic weapons are 100 and Russian are 25. Then a purely atomic war is unlikely.

Miss Roman, whose bair is red brown, her eyes brown, her height, five feet four and a half inches and who weighs a very well distributed 120 pounds, believed that she was ready for Broadway. So she left the old family home on Charles street in Boston, where her mother and sisters still live, and came on to New York. Her arrival here caused no commotion in theatrical circles But she didn't go back to Boston. Instead Ruth (her real name is Ruth Roman), applied for a place in the Copacabana chorus line and was turned down on the ground that she was not pretty enough. But she did get a job at the Copa as a cigaret girl.

Next, she became a hatcheck girl at the Versailles. She worked as a model for artists- who illustrated detective stories. While she was searching, she was saving. So at the end of four years, she had money enough to go to Hollywood. their tuition and school expenses paid by the government.

About 13,500 finished their studies Answer Is Compulsory Training It has taken another conflict to convince them of the need, but defense officials are swinging over to the idea of universal military training. Defense Secretary Louis Johnson has proposed a bill which would provide for compulsory training of young men between the ages of 17 and 20. It would establish an independent commission to direct the program. The trainee, under the proposed measure, would receive a monthly allowance of $30. If he is the chief support of his family, he would be allowed $50 a month for one dependent' and $65 for two or more dependents.

To be fair with the defense officials, it must be said that some of them have advocated U. M. T. after each war. They broached the subject in 1920, following World War but were beaten down by the concerted efforts of such conservatives as Sen.

Hiram Johnson and Sen. Kenneth McKellar. McKcllar, for one, contended the plan was wasteful and unnecessary when millions of men trained in war were available for defense, and was unwise when the country was laboring under a mountain of debt. It cropped up again following World War II, but opposition led by Sen. Robert Taft, who denounced all plans for such training as wasteful, obsolete and un-American, defeated the move again.

Added to this opposition to universal military training are the sentimental reasons held by parents who simply can't understand why their boys must be subjected to a year or so of camp training. It takes away their fcedom to obtain schooling and job experience, they reason. However that may be, this latest conflict is evidence that a standing army is going to be necessary for a long time to come, and the easy and fair way to obtain it is through compulsory training. If a young man knows he must endure a year or so of training, he can fit it into his schooling and career knowing all the time that he is being treated as an equal with other men of his This time, surely, we should be convinced that universal military training is the only way to preparedness. It is the simplest and most painless way of keeping this country strong in an uncertain world which may again erupt without warning as it did in Korea last June 25.

Last year, CARE also undertook to supply books and other educational matter to foreign readers. Now, the Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe has a new type of aid. It is one-man wheel plows which are to go to small farmers of Pakistan and India. The single-wheel plow is designed so it can be hitched to a bullock.

Neatly packaged and easily assembled, one plow can be sent for the same $10 price which buys a 224-pound food ration package. Food, of course, can be appreciated by the needy; books probably not so much. But a new plow is something which both the receiver and the giver can understand and appreciate. It will have a long life and Americans who designate that their CARE packages be plows will have the satisfaction they are contributing to the economic life of those small There is meat in the food packages, but a richer, more satisfying meat in giving something as substantial as a plow.

The story goes that O.P. Senators Styles Bridges of New Hampshire and Homer Ferguson of Michigan phoned Clayton to inquire about a girl secretary, who had been denied access to top-secret files of the State department. Clayton replied that he knew of no such ban on the young lady, but added that he was positive she was "not a Communist." "How do you know she isn't?" he was asked.

ISSUES From Washington Post Six Senators, participating in a wire-service roundup, agree that the Korean situation has changed the character, and possibly the outlook, of the coming congressional elections.

The six, chosen impartially from both parties, say that domestic issues are out the window, and that the only issues of consequence to the public are those arising from Korea. Accordingly the six report with varying degrees of seeming candor, that they have formed rapid plans to shift their electioneering approach. Whether this means a change in tactics as well as subject matter, however, is another matter. Typical of the Republican approach is Senator Capehart'sL Cape hart says a principal issue will be that "it is unfortunate that we have been led by such people as Secretary Acheson." Typical of the Democratic approach is and because any active partisan campaigning by President Truman would be regarded as unseemly if the war is still in progress at election time.

"My chief criticism of the Administration." the Republican lead Plans for Korea Like the first instruction in the ancient recipe for hasenpfeffer "First catch the rabbit" talk of what to do with Korea after the shooting sounds premature, but it is not too soon to think about it.

When the United Nations forces repel the Red invaders and, in spite of repeated reverses, they will inevitably it will be up to the United Nations to decide the best method of re-uniting that bloody peninsula under one government. Originally, the North Koreans were ordered by the U. N. to cease fire and get back on their side of the 38th parallel. But Warren R.

Austin. United States delegate to the Security Council, gives a hint of what may be the future of Korea when he says the United States favors a plan that would give' the Korean people "restoration of freedom and opportunity to govern themselves and enjoy security throughout the whole peninsula. When the authority of the United Nations is established the tenor of recent events decrees it must be re-established some plan for creating a new Korea must be evolved. If possible, the plan should be amenable to The appeal was denounced as placing party above patriotism, and it allowed the Republicans to take off all wraps in attacking the Administration. The country was at war at the mid-term elections of 1942 and the presidential election of 1944.

Again the Democrats were in power. In 1942, with the tide of battle barely begun to turn in the Far East. the Democrats lost nine Senate and 45 House seats. However, their majority in the Senate had been no less than 36, so that some losses there were only to be expected. In the House the Democrats had had a majority of 99.

and retained control only by a narrow margin. In 1950 a loss of nine Democratic seats in the Senate, as in 1942. would give the Republicans a majority of six there. A loss of 45 House seats, as in 1942. would mean a practically even division in the House.
