EUROPEAN DEFENSE TAKES SHAPE

The United States will begin shipping
arms TO the nations of Western Europe
early next month, according to information
from Washington, where the adoptlon OF
a strategic defense plan by the twelve pact
nations removes the final barrier TO the
81 200, 900, 900 military assistance pro-
gram.
While no official announcements have
been. made as4to the results of the con-
.fefence in Paris, in which the military
'leaderg of the various countries attempt
ed 20 ''integrate" their concepts for de-
Tense. il is believed that the first respon-
sibility of the United States, in case of
hostilities, will be to open strategic air
offensive with the atomic bomb. This
would not exclude the possibility of send
ing troops to Europe later.
The first obligation of Continental Eu-
rope, primarily the French. will be to
supply ground forces with which to meet
the initial assault. At the same time, the
fleets of the United States, Great Britain
and France will move out in concert to
sweep and patrol the seas.
Following this concept, the Western
Europeans. with Great Britain in the lead,
viii be expected to provide the early air
power for short range attack lombard
ment and air defense. This outline does not
include any activity on the part of the
newly-fOrmed government of West Ger
many but is based upon what the military
experts believe the respective nations can
successfully undertake.
Only eight European countries are
scheduled to receive military aid from this
country. They include Great Britain,
France. Belgium. the Netherlands, Luxem-
bourg. Norway, Denmark and Italy. Three
other countries which signed the Atlantic
Pact. Canada. Portugal and Iceland, have
not applied for assistance

FEARS ABOUT FARM SUBSIDIES

4 subsidy is a subsidy, whether it is
paid to the operators of steamships, air
lines or farms.
Consequently, it is passing strange
that many Americans fear a Government
payment to farmers will destroy their
character and self-reliance but have no
qualms about the character and self-re-
lance Of those who run the steamships
air lines and other businesses which re-
eeive financial favors from the Govern
ment.
Farmers. in connection with the money
they receive, as a result of Federal leg
islation. should not overlook the fact that
this is a subsidy. regardless of the manner
IN which il is paid. Manufacturers who sell
their goods on protected market, due to
the tariff. receive similar subsidy.
so far as we have observed, no prom
inent business man has expressed any fear
IN public lest the tariff subsidy destroy the
character and self-reliance of manufacture
ers. Since the tariff subsidy has been op-
Grating for many decades without arous-
ing the CONSERVATION of those who look out
~ wv "i"NttI vi Olher people, IL seems
logical TO suggest that a subsidy to farmers
might operate successfully without i'm
pairing the moral fiber of agriculturists.
Il is even open to argument that a sub
sidy 10 farmers, paid out as an act of equity
to offset the subsidy to manufacturers,
might serve to improve the character and
self-reliance of the farmers. There is moth
ing like a little more income to bolster the
independence that is an evidence of ris-
ing amount of self-reliance.

Mr.. Carson left them alone in
the big room which looked out
over the on-fooded desert land.

the view.

So it had been Doakes. And
here the money had arrived too

her thoughts. The Desert View
Apartments will be ready for oc-
cupancy in a couple of months.
If we make choice now you can
dictate the interiors, what colors
you want the rooms tinted, the
linoleum, bath tile and that sort
of thing. Also, Allene wants to

"Allene!" Arleta sat up, dark
hair tossed back. "She wants to
entertain for fne?"
"She's very anxious to be
friends, Leta," Cal said in q re-
proving tone. "She feels she's
misjudged you in the past and
wants to atone. Surely, dear, after
all of the other concessions
you've made, you can be big
enough to do this. You do owe it

Calvin would take her to the
Lanes. Allene would bring her
back into town, and Caro- would
relay her on out to the Cars0ns', =
Cal said. And Arletta nodded.
"Then tomorrow about eleven"
Cal said.
She might as well, she thought,
watching the headlights of his car
cutting a wide swath of light on
the desert floor. She'd have to
meet Allene sooner or later. And
the Lanes had been the greatest
losers in the Langtry fiasco.

to her, surprised an expression in

taut, questioning. If Allene's first

hatred, what was this2
Won't you sit down, Miss
Chips?" asked the fretful voice.
Arleta debated, then sat in the
proffered chair and felt it a stool
of inquisiti0n. And as she sat on
the slippery surface she tried to
place Mrs. Lane. She was differ
ent from most of the women with
whom Arleta had associated and
she couldn't define the difference.
But did it matter? Allene was

He left, promising High Plateau

He also promised that Arleta, dis
guised, would be taken on aishop-
ping trip by a discreet real estate
agent, an agent who would know
where to find living quarters and
orchard lands for the Martins.

Mr.. Maine came out to announce

CIamor for Return
After QueuiIIe Quits
By the Assoc1ofsd Press

PARIS, Oct. 6.-President Vim
cent Auriol today accepted the
resignation of Premier Henri
Queuille, and the extreme right
and left Immediately began
clamoring for a return to power.
Mr.. Queuille offered his resig-
nation yesterday after a bitter
cabinet deadlock on the wage
price issue, and Mr.. Auriol was
unable to persuade the Radical
Socialist conservative leader to
reconsider.
The Communists and the fol-
lowers of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
on the extreme right had been
excluded from Mr.. Queuille's
coalition, which had managed to
give France some political sta
bility by remaining in Office a
year and rs days. longer than any
other postwar French cabinet.
Opposed Wage Demands.
The Socialist President began
consultations with political leaders
after Mr.. Queuille refused to bring
his cabinet quarrel before Parlia-
ment for an airing. Mr.. Queuille
feared bitter debate might result
in an irreparable split among the
parties which formed his middle
Of -the-road coalition. Such
split might make new cabinet
on similar lines impossible. Thus,
the only solution would be new
general election, which is what
Gen. De Gaulle has been clamor-
ing for.
Mr.. Queuille quit because he op-
posed demand for a general wage
boost made by the Socialists. who
were one of the main parties in
his coalition cabinet.
Communist and non Communist
unions have demanded wage
boosts to Offset rising prices ex-
pected from devaluation OF the
franc.
It was the fifth time since the
creation Of the postwar Fourth
French Republic that Mr.. Auriol
has accepted a premier's resigna-
ton.
Labor Begins Maneuvering.
Although suffering from a
gastric illness and bronchitis,
Edouard Herriot, Speaker of the
lower house of Parliament. was to
fly to Paris from Lyon this after
noon to be prepared to summon
Parliament. The deputies were
on their summer vacation and not
scheduled to meet again until
October 18.
AS political activity began to
boil, labor also began to maneuver.
The Catholic Labor Union Fed
Grafton issued an appeal to Com
munist and Socialist led fedora
tions to join in a common front.
Together, the CFTC said, the
unions could present the new
government with a united demand
for wage increases.
