Attack Negro
Art Shop In
Greenwich Village

NEW YORK (ANP)- Even in
Cosmopolitan Greenwich village, a
Negro artist does not escape vio-
lent reminders of racism. For the
seaond time in two months the arts
and craft shop of young Irma Su-
ell. has been attacked by vandals.
The second attack came last
week when a protective wire net
ting was ripped loose and the
plate glass window was smashed.
Last January, when Miss Suell
moved into the studio, a heavy ash
tray was hurled against the win
dow.
The youthful artist notified
police bothatimes, but they indicat
ed they were helpless. However,
she has DECLARED e intention OF
holding her ground. Miss Suell
served notice:

knew my boy was being ruined,
but what could I do?
A WORRIED MOTHER.
ANSWER: There Is no problem
that a mother confronts that is
more difficult to solve than how
to protect her children from the
cruel kindness of doting grand
mother. The mother. weighted
down by her sense of response
bility~ to her children, educated in
the scientific care of children,
realizes that their grandmother
may be wrecking her children
physically, mentally and morally,
yet she can only save them at the
expense of depriving pitiful old
woman of almost the last shred OF
happiness she has left in the
world, and it takes a more ruthless
nature than most women possess
to do it.
Old people are very lonely.
They have few pleasures. And to
them a grandchild comes almost
as resurrection. There is some
thing to do and think about and
feel again, and so they come to
worship the grandchild with q
passion of devotion greater than
any they ever felt for their own
children.
And perhaps it is because they
do not feel any sense OF RESPONSE
bility to the child, or perhaps 1t
is because they are so near the end
of things that nothing seems i'm
portant but the indulgence Of the
moment, that they spoil the child
without reason. They save it from
all discipline. they encourage it
in selfishness, they make it a
rebel against authority and use
entirely different tactics in bring
ing it up from those they en-
ployed with its parents.
But what is the woman to do
who sees her children being ruined
by their grandmother? I don't
know. OF course, the children'S S
rights come first, and in justice to
them they should be separated
from the evil influence that will be
their undoing. They should not
have to pay all their lives for the
folly of an old woman.

Ample Food Available
For War or Peace,
Farm Experts Assert

An assurance the country will
have ample food supplies in the
event of another war, was given
by farm experts at an agriculture
conference at the University of
Maryland, College Park.
A total Of $50 persons were told
yesterday that great strides have
been made by agriculture since
World War II broke out and the
general outlook for ample supplies
is good-for war or peace
The conference was called to
discuss mobilization for a possible
war and the effect it will have on
agriculture.
1t was sponsored by the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension
Service for farmers, farm organi-
cations and agencies.
Perhaps the two greatest prob
lens that will face the farmer in
the days ahead are those of man
power and farm machinery, ex-
perts said.
Col. Henry C. Stanwood, State
director of selective service,
warned that draft-age farmers
could not expect more than a one
year deferment.
We're going to have to be
shown why young men between
the ages of 10 and Is should not
be selected" he said.
Col. Stanwood said that any
farm worker otherwise eligible for
induction may be deferred only if
he proves he is a full-tim work
er. is irreplaceable by person of
equal skill and is SO essential that
his absence would result in a
marked loss of production.
D. A. Tucker, farm labor super
visor OF the Maryland Depart
ment of Employment Security,
also discussed the farm man
power situation.
He said the farm labor supply
is ample now-has been ample
for the last three years-but there
are signs that the situation is
tightening. There are fewer
migratory workers now than in
the past, he said.

So Billion in Arms Aid
May Be Given France
During Next ; Years
BY the Associated Press

High United States officials said
today that France is likely to get
up to Sc billion in American mill
tary aid during the next three
years.
An American plan to allocate
up to $2.4 billion of existing funds
to .ne French is just "a first In
Stallment," these officials said.
Additional billions will be needed
if France is to build up an army
of at last 20 divisions by the end
of 1852. This repeatedly is one
of the goals set by military plan
ners to help strengthen Western
Europe against Communism.
President Truman and Secre-
tary of State Acheson have put
Congress on notice that rearming
the North Atlantic pact countries
and other friendly nations is a
long-term job.
French Finance Minister Maui
rice Petsche was assured yester-
day of American plans to give
the French 5000 million almost
Immediately so they can start
mass production of arms in
French factories in line with At
lantic pact strategy.
This sum is to help meet AMI
anticipated 1851 French budget
deficit of $770 million, caused
mainly by increased defense
spending.
An authorized American spokes-
man told reporters the French
have been told they can expect
from $1.8 billion to $2.4 billion of
the nearly Sc billion Congress al
ready has appropriated for arms
shipments.
The exact total the French will
receive, he said, depends on future
discussions to be carried on within
the 12-nation North Atlantic
Treaty Council.
Weapons to Be Allotted.
Most of the American aid will
be in the form of new and mod
ernized tanks, artillery, guns,
planes, military vehicles, NUM-
tions and supplies shipped from
the United States.
Immediate French plans call for
completing the job of arming the
existing seven divisions in France
and Germany and adding three
new fully equipped divisions be-
fore the end of 1851.
Despite the urgency of building
North Atlantic defenses, the
United States also assured France
that the needs of French and as
sociated troops in Indo-China
would merit a particularly high
priority
The State Department said the
major part" of all funds ear
marked for arms shipments to the
Far East would go to Indo-China
to pay for arms, munitions and
newly requested light bombers. An
official estimated do-China's
share at about $500 million
Deal With Ho Opposed.
To emphasize it's support for the
French and associated Indo-
Chinese states, the State Depart
ment also said fatty it is against
any IDEAL" with Ho Chi Mimi, the
Communist leader.
A spokesman branded as com
pletely untrue" London dispatches
that said the United States and
Britain apparently we're ready to
advise the French to reach a po-
litical agreement with Ho to end
the 4-year-old war in Indo-C China.
THE report is absolutely untrue
and without foundation in fact"
he said. This Government has
no knowledge of any such pro-
posal. Nor is it sympathetic to
any deal with Communist Ho Chi
Mimi"
