Fifty years ago, June 10. 1868.
Samuel C. Evans, Sr., and Annie
Cow, were married at her home on
what is known as the General
Van Worst Farm" near Milford.
This event was quietly observed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Evans on Monday
last at their home on South Wal
nut street where they received the
congratulations of their friends and
neighbors. To comparatively few
comes the celebration of the golden
wedding, especially when that half
century of life is spent continu-
ously in one community. The
Chronicle and all it's readers ex-
tends to Mr.. and Mrs. Evans their
best wishes, and hope that they
may enjoy many more years of
happiness.

This Changing World
Marshall Note on Berlin Situation
Is Strongest Yet Sent by u. S. to Soviet

with the Kremlin's representatives.
But our note to Moscow indicates
clearly that no such conference can
even be thought about until the
present restrictions in the Berlin
area are completely removed.
Most diplomatic observers believe
that the Soviet reply will be, at
best, ambiguous. But there are a
few who take more optimistic view,
not because they think there has
been a change in the Politburos S
overall plans for expansion, but be-
cause of the situation inside the
satellite countries.
Satellites Restless.
Until the Tito explosion 1t was
believed that the Politburo's domi-
nation of the satellites was absolute.
The puppet rulers were supposed
to jump at the crack of the whip
from the Kremlin. Their subjects,
dominated by ruthless secret police
and disarmed to the point that no.
body can own even. shotgun, were
thought to be utterly incapable of
offering any resistance. Tito's dec
laration of independence has shown
that not all puppets were following
the Politburo bosses blindly.
Furthermore, reports received in
Washington in the last few days
indicate unexpected restlessness and
spirit of defiance on the part OF
the masses in the satellite countries.
This discomfort cannot be over
looked by Moscow.
Dispatches from Prague tel of
thousands of Czechs cheering the
deposed President Eduard Benes.
But while such manifestations may
be regarded as sporadic and easily
suppressed, more serious reports
reach the outside world from Bull
garia.
The highly individualistic Bull
garian peasants-Who are the back
bone of the country-heretofore have
been believed to be cowed by the
ruthless state police. 1t appears,
however, that they are on sitdown
strike, and are gathering just enough
of their crops for their own limited
needs. Many young Bulgarian men
have gone into the mountains,
where they are organizing resistance
movements.
In Yugoslavia, where Marshal
Tito is far from popular, the peas
ants also are said to be backing him
in preference to the Russians:
Ordinarily the U. S. S. r. could
easily take care of such situations
with their well-known purge
methods. But when they are con-
fronted by strong attitude on the
part of the western powers, the
Russian leaders will find it difficult
to cope with internal troubles in the
satellite countries and to maintain
an aggressive attitude toward the
west.

DV"eh "e"e' QdIlQ, every Tca-
son, indeed, why it should.
This the convention could do by
getting the party off the seat of
its pants and onto the offensive.
No party ever had more to attack.
No party ever had a better political
target than the record Of the present
Republican Congress. And the Con-
vention Hall in Philadelphia is the
place to start the shooting.
No One to Challenge.
During the dreary week of June
81 that same hall heard all the
had to offer. One
speaker after another took the
platform to bemoan the iniquities
of the Democratic administration,
the crimes of Roosevelt and of Tru-
man. Before the week was out the
administration had been blamed for
except drought on the
Pacific Coast and the excessive rains
in the Atlantic States. And, since
there was no one to challenge them,
they probably came to believe much
of what they were saying. That
made them united party.
The Democratic Party needs a

ting in when the game starts again.
Although their confidence Is alb
solute that the President can win
on the first ballot by sitting tight,
the confidence did not exclude the
possibility of disturbing incidents at
Philadelphia. There was consider
able discussion of how to avoid
them.
A first fruit: Leslie Bifle's warn
ing in Philadelphia that the gal
leries will be sternly policed to pre-
vent any I'VE Want Willkie" stuff.
McGrath to Take Charge.
National Chairman McGrath will
personally engineer the Truman
fortunes in the convention.
There was much talk again and no
decision about the vice presidency,
which remains a great problem.

times. the Republican vote, Gov:
Kerr's chances are good this fall, so
he would probably want to stick to
that contest. Besides, it would mean
for the Democrats a seat now held
by the Republicans In the narrowly
divided Senate.
That small margin of COP con-
troll in the Senate is what will put
Gov. Dewey on the road for an
energetic campaign. Gov. Dewey
can be optimistic about himself but
he is not the kind of popular hero
whose coattails are a magic carpet
for other candidates. And the
President has made inroads with his
attacks on the record Of the Re-
publican Congress. even If 1t does
him personally little good.

On the Other Hand
President in Position to Give
The Coming Campaign a New Look
BY Harry Honon

little uniting, to put the matter
mildly. The first step is to unite
against somebody or something
They can all unite against the Re-
publican Party. If their orators do
their stuff, exploring all the great
holes in the Republican record and
proclaiming their discoveries with
proper fervor, the delegates should
perk up and take heart. They
should begin to see the political
situation in new perspective.
The next step, uniting for some
body, will then have become possible.
1t may not be easy, having in mind
how far out on a limb some Of the
Democratic politicos have climbed,
but 1t will be possible; there is no
other course to take. This unity,
or reasonable facsimile thereof, will
have to be achieved around the per-
son of the President. Those earnest
liberals who have been chasing
will-o-the -wisps, inside and outside
the party, will have to come home,
eating the wild words they have
spoken The old-time machine men
will have to do the same. Neither
group can take Messrs. Dewey or
Wallace.
Can Give 1t New Look.
Comes then the campaign. This
has looked like a push-over for the
Republicans, but the President is
in position to give it a new look.
He can make it something more
than a battle Of words, something
more than contest of personality
and charm. He can make it busi-
ness of matching performance
against performance.
He can put the opposition right
up against the gun by calling Con-
gress back and demanding action
on the work it left unfinished few
weeks ago. That would change
the whole color Of the campaign.
The Republicans might still win,
but they would know they had
been in a tight. And some Of the
many, r things crying to be done.
might get done. To avoid letting
Gov. Dewey down, the Republican
congressional managers would have
to act.
The very suggestion that the
President do anything so unusual,
and yet so sensible, has brought
cries of anguish from some Repubh-
can leaders. including Candidate
Dewey. Their idea seems to be
that 1t wouldn't be cricket; that it
would be unfair politics. Fair poll
tics, they seem to think, consists Of
coufining the tight to fictitious
issues and ducking the real issues.
But politics or no politics, 1t
would be good government. Good
government consists of getting es-
sential things done.

Coast Believed Clear
Truman Meets Campaign Brain Trust;
Vice Presidency Remains Big Problem

York could be lured from the anti
Truman camp with this bait and
would be an effective campalgner.
Nobody mentioned that the idea was
academic; the Mayor was born IN
Ireland and is ineligible.
Doubt was expressed, however, that
Mayor O'Dwyer would take kindly to
the notion. There seemed also
some drawback attached to other
suggestions. -,
The majority doubted that it
would be wise for the President
further to hazard his ticket with
one of the three Catholic candi-
dates: Senators O'Mahoney and
Mcmahon and Representative
Mccormack, House whip.
The cabinet was canvassed with
out result. Secretary of State Mar
shall, all agreed. would refuse it,
though he might strengthen the
ticket. Reaction to the others was
tepid as 1t was to former Commerce
Secretary Hartman, now with ECA.
The Presidents pal, Gov. Wallgren
Of Washington, is out OF the picture
Sam Jackson of Indiana is not well
known. Senator Tydings OF Mary
land voted for the Taft-Hartley bill
and to override the Presidents veto
of it. And so 1t went, with more
debts than credits apparently to
the score of all mentioned.
Kerr Held Potential.
One of the partys better takers,
the 40 keynoter, former Gov. Kerr
of Oklahoma, has just made pow
erful run in the Democratic primary
for Senate nomination with 40
per cent of the total vote cast. He
didn't get more than all his nine
opponents combined, however, SO
faces a run-off which he is expected
to win handily.

ment concerned.
1t is known IN unofficial quarters
that the State Department repre-
sentation rules out any four-power
discussions at this time on the
whole German problem.
The western diplomats have sus-
pected that one of the purposes of
MoscoW's squeeze operation in Ber-
lin was to coerce the Western
powers into asking for a general
conference on Germany which
would take up again the matters
which caused the collapse of the
London conference last fall. Among
these issues was Russia's demand
that she share control of the i'm
portant Ruhr coal industry, but
she did not want to make any
concession to get it.
No Room for Soviet Reply.
The Washington, London and Paris
governments, after having pro-
claimed unifcation of the Western
German zones, agreed among them
selves that so long as Russia main
tanned her aggressive attitude they
would not permit Soviet participa-
tion in the affairs of Western
Germany.
Thus, the note presented to the
Soviet government leaves no room
for the Russian diplomats to reply
that they would ease the blockade
of Berlin in exchange for agreement
on another four-power conference.
where the question Of uniflcation Of
Germany could be discussed.
The representations of the western
Allies deal exclusively with the
local situation in Berlin, where the
Russians are acting In bad faith
and against the spirit of the Pots
dam agreements. Once the Soviet
authorities agree to remedy cons
ditions in Berlin and perform
honestly. there will be no difficulty
in the way of another conference

Basic Training.
So, by gum, I had gruelling six
weeks of basic training for South
America.
Early In the morning a man
came to teach us Portuguese, so we
would be able to astound Brazilians
when we broke loudly, If not flu-
emily, into their language. In the
afternoon a woman taught us Span
ish. so in case any one spoke to us
in Spanish while we were in Span
ish-speaking countries, we would
have some vague idea what the
insult was.
Worst of all, I was hauled off to
dancing classes.
A master of the shimmy, the
cakewalk, the bunny-hug, the
Charleston and the black bottom, 1
saw no reason for increasing my
knowledge of the terpsichorean art
by attacking the samba and the
rhumba.
But Jean said must.
So. with a will of putty, I did.
Night after night, to the tune OF
"Siboney," I sweated 1t out IN the
rhumba "box." spent more time IN
the rhumba "box," which Is the
foundation step Of that dance, than
Methuselah did on earth. As for
the samba-weu, I'd rather have
Ted williams hit me back OF the
legs with a baseball bat than DO
that thing. It is a dance flt only
for frogs-and I mean young frogs
with crew haircuts and Argyle socks.
Peaceful Preparations.
The preparations for our trip
around the world are much more
peaceful.
AS much as Jean is In awe OF my
massive brain, she knows that not
even I could possibly master the
languages which we will hear spok-
en- from the time we leave New York
and reach San Francisco via Turkey,
India, China, Japan. and other as
sorted countries. So she has not
brought in any governesses or tu-
tors for Little Lord Fauntleroy NC
Lemore on this trip.
Neither has she asked me to mas
ter the dances Of the countries we
will visit. She knows that the time
is too short, even for me with my
natural grace, to learn the Turkey
Trot of Turkey, the fool thing they
do in Siam involving hands under
the chin and pouncing of left and
right, and the Calcutta Stomp.
This time I can keep my mind on
my laundry and not worry about
my dance steps. We have agreed to
do a simple two-step or fast run
ming fox trot throughout the trip.
We have also agreed that in case we
get separated on the dance floor
each one of us will do the Highland
Fling until we spot each other again.
Jean wants me to take kits for such
an emergency, but with the over
seas luggage limit what 1t Is, I
am not going to do 1t.
Well, we'll be off in few days,
and Jean made a very pertinent
remark about our trip. Know what
she said? She said that with the
world in the shape 1t is today, 1t
doesn't deserve any better break than
to have me go around 1t.

New Device Controls
Cancer of Buildings
Pipes Enable Chemical
TO Reach Termites

Termites, the Cancer Of build

all the ages the tiny insect that
feasts on wood in homes, farm build
ings and other structures has been
a constant destroyer. Annual prop
erty losses run far into the millions.
Ordinary control measures could
not get at the intricate tunnels hid

A new device, hailed as an effec-
tive means of combating the de-
structive pest, was demonstrated at
the annual convention of the Nation
al Association of Home Builders in
Chicago by w. B. Hill of Memphis,
Tenn, nationally known as termite
expert.
His method consists of installing
series of slotted pipes at the time Of
construction in all inaccessible
areas, including dirt-filled porches,

is slipped into the allotted pipes and

Crop Specialist Advises

Beware the new look" eSpe-

advice of Joe Robinson, Iowa State
college agronomist.
''New varieties seem to hold
some sort of magic charm over
many farmers" stated Robinson.
''T am happy to see the farmer
change to new varieties whenever
they can increase his yield but just
because a variety carries a new
name, is no indication Of it's value"
Robinson pointed out that per-
formance records are more impor-
tant than neWsneSS.

Unlike other crops, some hybrid

Don't roll the pastry too much or it

Never stretch the pastry to fit the

avoid shrinkage.
To prevent a soggy crust in berry
