World Problems Members of the Ladies' Library club of Athens were reminded of their responsibilities dealing with vital promems confronting our nation in the present world con flict, at a meeting of the club yesterday atternoon in the Spam ing Memorial library. Heading these problems, as presented at the session are plans for a lasting peace, military train ing, war service and the rehabilitation of those now in the armed forces.

Members of the club have devoted 929 hours of service at the Valley Canteen in Sayre, and 645 hours to American Red Cross production, according to a report given at the meeting. The club decided to contribute $5 to the Red Cross and an equal amdunt to the Athens district General Sullivan Boy Scout Council drive. It was decided to make a scrap-book for the USO. Mrs. M.

Louis Gore, who presided at the meeting, named a committee comprised of Mrs. Curtis Thurston, Mrs. Manley Wright and Mrs. rank Wass, to proceed with the project. Items of interest from books read by members during the past two weeks were given.

Review of the book "The Time For Decision," by Sumner Welles, was given by Mrs. Vernon Pultz.

(International) 35th ANNIVERSARY f' southeastern Europe. It is the general conviction in the Balkans that the conference is being held" in some part of the Black Sea region and that its proximity will spotlight Balkan problems problems which his torically have been a headache to the peace of Europe. Russian-occupied Bulgaria, Ru mania and Yugoslavia, British- occupied Greece and neutral Tur key eye the conference with mixed feelings of hope and fear. If the meeting ends without an unequivocal agreement giving American and British political methods and economic practices an equal footing with Russian in fluence in Russian-occupied countries, there is certain to be a conviction in the Balkans that the western powers have made a bargain and turned their backs on southeastern Europe. Turkey wants good relations with Russia, but her unique position as a bridge between the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Europe, the middle east and the Balkans gives her added reasons for desiring good relations on all sides and not becoming the special diplomatic and economic property of either Russia or England.

A final solution of the Greek tragedy also may depend on a conference decision. Most Greeks probably desire a conference-established equilibrium between the left and right forces which would produce desired reforms without another reign of terror. Bulgars generally deplore the excesses of their armistice government and wonder what has become of the civil rights, freedom of speech, press and assembly guaranteed by the Atlantic Charter. The strong men of the present Bulgarian government are Premier Kimon Georgeiv and War Minister Damyan Velchev, who were likewise strong men in the pro-fascist revolt of 1932. They were never known as friends of democracy.

Rumania, where things are better than in the first unpredictable days of the Russian occupation, wants from the conference recog nition as a cobelligerent and an agreement that the armistices terms with Russia and the Allies will be applied as written; They say that misapplication of armistice terms was accountable, in part, to misunderstandings of local Soviet authorities, but they want these misunderstandings cleared and adequate checks established. In general, the Balkan peoples do not wish to trade war-liquidated German dictatorships for any other outside dictatorship or home-grown "iron fist."

BOY SCOUTS MARK imams WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (UP) Sen. Kenneth McKellar, look up his cudgel today against confirmation of Aubrey W. former head of the National Youth Administration, as Rural Electrification Administrator. McKellar, who led the 1943 fighr that resulted in ultimate elimination of NY went before the senate agriculture committee to argue that Williams, by temperament, philosophy and-experience, was unqualified to head REA.

Williams told the committee yesterday there was no truth to charges he was a Communist, and defeated an effort by Sen. Harlan J. Bushfleld, S. D. to get him to admit he favored "redistribution of wealth." Sen.

Guy Cordon, asked Williams whether he would approach the REA administratorship, if confirmed, "as an administrator or as an evangelist." Williams reported that he could answer best by referring to his work as NYA head. "I wasn't an evangelist there and I certainly 1 wouldn't be in REA," he declared. Questioned on his philosophy of ''the. more abundant life" one in which low income families would be given better opportunities to advance their standard of living Williams acknowledged he had stated that "society should be made over." Pressed for an explanation, he said he still was convinced that "some social corrections should be made." "By that, I mean," he added, "that farmers, for instance, should get more than $200 or $300 a year. "If that's a sin to want everyone to have what's available to some then I have sinned." ffeflBUllfjS A Million Dollars To Relieve Piles It Ii estimated that over a million dollar, annually apent-ZoB var-ioui remedies for relieving; piles.

He asked for permission to get in touch with him but was informed that his brother was seriously wounded and had been removed to a hospital ship. He then left for the Admiralty Islands and for ten days was anchored there and did not know until much later, when he received mail from home, that his brother was in the same harbor on a hospital ship which he had observed there.
