FanilySases For
Is Years to Buy
Farm

WASHINGTON (ANP)- cit
took Is years for Raymond Gull
ton and his family of Normangee,
Tex, to save up enough to make
the dcwn-payment on a farm OF
their own, says State Leader w.
C. David Of the, Texas Extension
service.
Today, they own 101 acres on
which they have doubled their
cotton yield and quadrupled their
per acre corn output. Last year
their gross income was close to
$4,000, declares Mr.. Davis in a
report to the u. S. Department of
Agriculture.
The Cultons had only $40 be-
tween them when they were mar
ried in 1880. They started out as
sharcroppers on a farm about 15
miles from the n they nov own.
At the end of the first year, they
put away $2s after buying a
mule and a few tools in order to
move up to tenant status.
In 1882, they barely broke even
on their cotton, but from eggs and
a few vegetables, they had a net
of 81 to save toward that farm
of their own. Through Is more
years, they scrimped and saved.
By 1916, they had $4,000.
On hill overlooking Norman
gee was a rundown farm for sale
for $4,000. They drew $4,000 out
of the bank and made the down
payment. Two years later, they
paid out and made some repairs
on their home.
'sThis farm was really in bad
shape when we moved here" says
Mr.. Coulton. "We planted rs
acres of cotton the first year and
harvested only 1914 bales. And we
got only 16 bushels of corn to the
acre.. he adds.

RELIGION:
Pope ProcIuims Dogma

In the most spectacular and i'm
portant ceremony of the 1850 Holy
Year, Pope Plus XII proclaimed as
Catholic dogma that the Virgin
Mary was assumed body and soul
into the glory of Heaven.
The dogma was approved by IS
cardinals and more than 500 bishops
from all parts Of the world. 1t was
the first in nearly 100 years to be
proclaimed by a Pope.
Some Protestants, notably leaders
of the Church of England, have pro-
tested that the announcement Of
the bodily assumption of Mary
would be another impeachment to
Christian unity.
More than eight million lay Catho-
lies had added their pleas in the
past to those of thousands of clerics
for pronouncement of the dogma, it
was reported.

TIBET:
Invasion Ordered

The Indian government which
had tried to appease both the east
and west in the current battle for
freedom, received a rude shock
with the official confirmation that
Communist China had ordered her
troops into Tibet.
India had thrown its weight be-
hind the move to seat Communist
China in the United Nations. With
the invasion of Tibet, Prime Min
lister Pandit Nehru found himself
in a difficult position. Red armies
e at the border of India and it
appeared likely that Nehru would
be forced to review his policies.
If Communist China and Russia
continue their present partnership
in foreign policy and exploitation
of China's natural resources, the
disappearance of free Tibet will
bring a formidable combination of
Communist-powers to bear against
n-Communist India.
Nehru finds himself now in a
very unfavorable situation in the
struggle for dominance in Asia.

EUROPE:
Master Defense Plan

The will and a plan for the de-
tense Of Europe against any ag-
erosion was made known to the
world when the Atlantic pact ma
tons repeatedly agreed on a uni
fled army of about so divisions,
strong fleets in the Atlantic and
Mediterranean and a mighty air
armada based in Britain and on
the continent.
The plans called for General
Dwight D. Eisenhower to be named
supreme commander of the COL
lective armed forces. The defense
plan would reach full force as soon
as possible and not later than 1858,
it was reported.
The plan is a further step in the
armament for defense program
outlined in a recent speech by
President Truman. The western
world has accepted the belief that
Russia understands only armed
strength.
In the new plan, the us. would
furnish five to 10 divisions, more
than half the warships, all stra-
tegic bombers, and five to 10 groups
Of tactical fighter planes. France
repeatedly would provide 20 to %
divisions; Britain about five; Bel
GUM, Luxembourg, and the Meth
erlands five to 10, and Italy about
10.
Britain would contribute a small
err number of warships than the
United States, but would share the
major responsibility for sea power.

.TRUMAN:
Escapes Assassination

For the first time in history an
attempt was made to assaSSinate a
president of the United States at his
official residence. The plot came
to an end in a blazing gun battle at
the very steps of Blair House. the
temporary White House.
The ~assassins were identified as
GriSelio TorreSola, who died almost
instantly of wounds, and Oscar Col
lazzo, seriously wounded, both of
New York. The men were members
of the Puerto Rican Nationalist
party which started an uprising in
Puerto Rico a few days before the
attempted assassination.
Three policemen on duty at Blair
House at the time of the attack
were wounded. One of the guards,
Pvt. Leslie Coffelt, 40, died a short
time later in a Washington hospital.
The other two were reported seri-
ously injured.
According to best reports the two
a~ssassins approached Blair House,
n from the east and one from the
west. Collazzo opened fire first
when within 10 feet of a policeman
on duty at the steps of Blair House.
Two other guards at posts near the
steps opened fire on Collazzo.
Meanwhile, Torresola, within a
few seconds of Collazzo's opening
shot, opened fire in front of Lee
House, which adjoins the Blair man.
sion on the westerly side.
Guards returned the fire and
within seconds both would-be assas-
sins were shot down.
CoIlazzo is reported to have told
police that he and Torresola came
to Washington with the express
purpose of shooting the President.
On Torresola's body was found a
letter and a memorandum both
cryptic but indicative of conspiracy
Of the Nationalist to kill Mr.. Tru-
man.
The attack resulted in an i'm
mediate breakdown on the Ma
tionalist party in Puerto Rico which
has demanded independence of the
United States.
The Communist party, afraid of
being involved in the plot, immedi-
ately disavowed any connection
with it and termed the attempt a
1850 version of the "Reichstag-fire
frame-up in Hitler Germany"

PHILIPPINES:
Danger of Collapse

Americans who still consider the
Philippines this country's little
brother, were startled by the report
of Daniel W. Bells mission on con-
ditions in that republic.
In his fortnight report, Bell said
the Quirino government was in such
a critical situation that only the
most far-reaching program Of re-
forms and self-help, supported by
technical and economic assistance
from this country, could save the
Philippines from total collapse.
AS a result, the United States Of
fered the Philippine republic up to
$3.50, 600, 900 in closely supervised
loans and grants over a period of
five years on conditions which in
cluded:
/. The whole agricultural economy
Of the islands be overhauled.
2. The economy of the country
should be diversified by the intro
duction of new industries.
3. Non-eSSential and dollar-con-
Stunning imports should be discour-
aged through the imposition of a
special emergency tax.
4. Social reforms should include
ambitious programs for improved
public health, urban housing, educa-
tional services, and land reform.
S. Public administration should be
reorganized to ENSURE honesty and
efficiency"
Bells report was attacked by
some members of the Philippine
government, but most observers
agreed the terms of the proposed
loans would be met by Quirino.

TITO:
Without Conditions

Most Americans have no Illusions
about Premier Tito Of Y~ugoslav1a.
He is a Communist who has fallen
into disgrace with Russia and the
Cominform countries.
However, millions Of his people
face starvation because of a drought
In Yugoslavia. When he asked for
American aid, we gave it to him.
Americans who had expected
nothing in return were surprised
when Tito made a speech that
praised the United States and pro-
vided the best propaganda the West
has had in years in its battle against
Russia and her satellites.
Tito declared that as a result Of
talks with U. S. officials lit will be
possible to get all we need: Wheat
and sugar, that, and other goods in
order to feed whole districts which
are damaged thoroughly by the
drought"
Then he added, 81 can here OPEN
ly say that the American govern
ment did not impose any condi-
tons"
AS if that wasn't enough, he added
a punch line, 81 think-and I told
this to their people when they asked
me what I thought-that it is useful
for the American government to
show in practice that it is ready to
help other people rather than iSsu-
ing propaganda as some other coun-
tries do"
That was in indirect attack upon
the Cominform countries.
