throw out a delegate of country
that was, when the United Nations
was formed, SO important as to be
given a permanent seat. He sought
to usurp authority. Had he sue
ceeded, the United Nations would
have ended then in complete fail
ure.
When his illegal act was chal-
lenged by the United States, Soviet
Russia discovered exactly what its
position is in the world.
Yugoslavia's support is nominal.
Tito who has pretentions to head
an anti Stalinist Communist league,
cannot afford to offend any nom
Russian Communist country. Tito
would like to hope that some day,
! Mao Tze-Tung might rebel against
the Russian conqueror and join the
anti-Stalinist schism. 1t is to be
assumed that Yugoslavia will al
ways vote in this manner When
ever a Communist country appears
before the U N.
AS for India, it is literally fright
ened by the Korean war and the
,, possibility of this war spreading
to China. Nehru has no means to
withstand either Russian force
moving out of Turkestan into At
ghanistan and Pakistan, or huge
Soviet Chinese army marching into
Burma. Such a force would sn..-.
overcome India.
Whereas the Indians boast that
they have no serious Communist
problem in their own country, the
fact is that Soviet Russia and Sow
let China are closer to them than
is safe. Should Russia have a free
hand to move into India, it couf1
take that country without too much
| difficulty unless the United States
and Great Britain came to India S
/ aid.
| That poses a dilemma for Nehru.
His country has only been free
from British control and British
troops since August Is, 1947. If
American and British troops re-
turn, what effect will that have
upon the development of frAi
India? .c.f ss a
| Also, should Soviet Russia and
Soviet China invade India, that
country would inevitably become a
battlefield between Russia and the
west. In such a situation, Nehru's
government would not amount tc
much more than Rhee's government
now does in Southern Korea. This
could set India back for a pro-
tracted period.
Therefore, Nehru pursues a typ
cal Oriental course of trying to put
himself in the middle as broker
between Stain and the west. In
this manner, he expects to please
IStalin without too much offending
the west. After all, the United
States is readily placated. 1t goes
in strongly for finely spoken words;
Stain disdains that sort of thing
So Nehru gives Stain the vote and
offers us some ambulances in Korea
But the western world stood soln
1t presented united front for
order, and the United Nations dis
closed that it possesses a capacity
to withstand Russian pressures, in
spite of the constant danger to
many of these nations that the
Communist arm of Russian imper-
ialism will use strikes, demonstra-
tions and violent agitation against
these governments. France and
4 Norway. are particularly to be
praised in view of the pressures put
upon their government by native
| Communists.
When the Russian discovers that
the world is not afraid of him, he
will change his tactics. He is on
the rampage now because he has
been so successful since 1943.

SCHOOL BOND
REFERENDUM
School Board to Answer Ques-
tiOns at Open Meeting at
School Friday, June 16
NO DATE SET FOR VOTE

An open meeting has been set for
Friday, June 16, in the Smyrna
High School auditorium at pm.
at which time the School Board
will discuss the Forthcoming school
bond referendum and will be pre-
pared to answer all questions re-
garding this referendum. The re-
ferendum vote will be taken at a
time to be announced later, but it
will not be June % as formerly an
nounced. The purpose of this
school bond is to raise 100000
towards the building of new
twelve-room elementary school
with cafetorium. The State has
already appropriated $4,000 to-
wards this project provided it is
matched locally with a minimum
of the 100000. The School Board
has set forth four point project
for the disbursement of these
funds: First, purchase of site Of
proposed school; second, construc-
tion of elementary building; third,
improvements to present school
building; and last, lighting and
providing of bleachers on the ath-
letic field. At the present time the
school tax rate of the Smyrna
Special School District is six cents
on one hundred dollars assessed
valuation plus one dollar capitali-
zation tax. This is the second low
est school tax in the State. If the
referendum is accepted, the tax
rate will have to be increased.
However, figures determining the
increase in the tax rate were not
available as of yesterday, June q,
according to George w. Wright,
superintendent of schools. An eff
fort has been made on the part IF
The Smyrna Times to secure COM
plete information and tax figures

Board are DR.. c. j. Prickett, presi-
dent, Mrs. c. l.. Harmonson, Lee

of schools, ex officio.

PLANT
NEAR SMYRNA
Research Laboratories to Be
Moved from Philadelphia to
Site on Leipsic Creek
EXPERIMENTAL PLANT

The romantic names of faraway
places, Madagascar, Brazil, New
Mexico are to be added to the
quaint names of Leipsic and Smyr-
ma with the advent of new indus
try three miles from Smyrna on
the Leipsic Creek. According 20
Frank DeRewal, of the DeRewal
International Rare Metals Co., of
Philadelphia, work will begin in the
immediate future to construct
buildings for research laboratories
and production facilities to extract
rare metals from ores from these
distant lands. Mr.. DeRewal is ex-
pected to be in this community by
the end of the week and removal
of the plant from Philadelphia to
the site near Leipsic will begin
soon. Three chemical engineers
will comprise the corps at this
time and it is expected to employ
25 persons by September. 1t is
hoped to expand this number to
$50 within two years. The pro-
cesses to be used are experimental
in nature and represent a depart
ure in the science of metalurgy, ac-
cording to Mr.. DeRewal. He said
that while the corporation has
clearance from the F'BI and the
Atomic Energy Commission, and
will be engaged in processing some
radioactive materials, its processes
will have no relation to the atomic
bomb. The plant near Smyrna will
become the principal manufacture
ing site of the company. Its present
Offices, research department, and
plant are now located in Philadel-
phia. A plant with 10000 square
feet of floor space will be construct
ed on the edge of Leipsic Creek,
with the ores to be brought in by
barges and vessels by the Della
ware Bay. The metals to be re-
fined will be used in radar, televi-
sion, X-ray, and other industries
In addition to uranium and thor
ium, metals to be extracted from
ores will include hasnium, zircont-
um, tantalum, colu1nbium, german
ium, and gallium. The land acquir-
ed by the corporation was pur-
