to $50,000, the Center opened with
a week-long carnival.
AT first merchants in nearby small
towns were resentful of this giant on
their doorstep. Florea called to-
gether the businessmen's clubs,
seated them before platters of the
Center's fried chicken. and out
lined his convictions. Thousands of
new customers swarming through
the area would certainly mean busi-
ness for all. In few months he was
proved correct.
>Too Many Compliments"
1T WOULD be difficult to find any
resentment among residents of the
surrounding townships particu-
larly the kids. They remember rides
through the snow in the Center's
big horse-drawn sleigh, the thou
sands of toys provided at less than
cost and the sacks of candy and the
dozens of baskets of apples scattered
around the store with the signs,
Help Yourself"
Nobody would deny that this is
good business - least of all Donald
Florea himself. At his desk, in
the rear Office, he frowns as he ex-
amines the latest batch of notes
from the suggestion box in the
lobby.
Il wish people would be more
critical" he says. There are too
many compliments here. If they
would only hop on us oftener we
could do a better job.
His customers wouldn't be sur
prised at that statement. They
know he means it. The End

wanted to work for him. Almost
before the ruins cooled he had con-
tacted firm of architects and engi-
neers. Several days later, chape-
roned by the local Milford banker,
Florea walked into a leading Gin
cinnati bank, asked for a loan of
Sl5O,OO0. Il received" he says in
retrospect. probably the quickest
rejection in the annals of banking"
Under no conditions would the bank
consider a rural loan of that size.
Undisrnayed. Florea began talk
ing quietly. He told what he had
done in a few years. He outlined his
prospects and future plans. At the
mention of his annual gross. the
bankers concrete exterior cracked
slightly. He promised to send out
team of investigators.
The investigators ran into some
surprising evidence. Wherever they
went, residents of the area spoke
highly of Donald Florea. They
pointed out that the frozen-food
locker he had operated was abso-
lutely necessary. They insisted the
district would suffer if the firm
weren't back in business forth
with. Completely convinced, the
hank granted the loan.
The results came as a surprise.
Everyone had pictured a rebuilding
of the original structure. When the
surveyors finished stalking out the
foundation lines of the new plant,
there were whistles of amazement.
Bigger than a football field" was
the general comment.

a count and limitation of atomic weapons under foolproof conditions.
 Replying, vishinsky charged 1t was the United States and not the Communists who started the Korean war. He accused the United States of forcing other nations to line up behind 1t through constant threats about atomic weapons.
 Seasoned observers here saw little likelihood, however. that Russia would agree to the proposals call for close international inspection of her factories and arsenals = some thing she has never permitted.
 Speaking directly to the Russians, Acheson said achievement of an armistice in Korea "could open the door to broader consultations of other aspects of the far eastern situation"
 He then listed these other points where he said the Russians could demonstrate the will for peace:
 1. Agreement for an impartial LIN. commission to investigate whether conditions in all the zones of Germany are suitable for hold ing elections. Acheson said support of this measure presents those who claim to support the reunification of Germany with an opportunity to prove good faith"
 2. Agreement for. peace treaty with Austria which would end occu- patton by Russia, the United States, Britain and France.
 3. Withdrawal of Russian objec- tions to the entrance of Italy into the United Nations.
 4. Granting basic human rights in areas of the world which the Soviet Union controls.
 "The Soviet Union has talked . great deal about peace" Acheson said, "But when il comes tt sss'siaSs sSss ssssssss sssS They caJl fer 2 new five. power peace pact but refuse to caisy out our 6O-power peace pact = the (U.N.) Charter"

Red Proposed Buffer Zone Is Rejetted

MUNSAN, Korea. Nov. 8-tR- Allied negotiators today completely rejected Red buffer zone proposal because it would have relieved the Communists from any pressure to reach agreement" on other Korean truce terms.
 The flat turndown came after four hours and 35 minutes spent in finding out just what the Con- rnunist plan meant. A United Ma tions command communique said it was "a fruitless effort"
 r ~The proposal is no longer under study for hidden mean ings or gimmicks," said Brig. Gen. William F. Nuckols, spokesman for the United Nations Command
 tUNC). We have an agreed understanding on what it means and we reject it."
 An official communique explained the Red compromise would have provided in essence for, ,.an imme- diate and irrevocable demarcation line.
 This in turn would have relieved the Communists from any pressure to reach agreement on other agenda items, deemed essential by the LING to full-fledged military armistice. T
 Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, chair man of the JUN. armistice subcom- mittee, said, We completely re- jected the proposal"

ARMS COUNT PLAN ]

PARIS, Nov. 8--tA-Ine United States presented its ''foolproof" arms count plan to the United Na- tions today. Russia dismissed 1t as "ludicrous" and called for a world conference by next June 1 to con- slider the whole disarmament ques- tion.
 US. Secretary of State Dean Acheson formally presented the western power plan along with challenge to Russia to work sin- cerely for peace in Korea and to show good will.
 The plan, which President Tru- man elaborated last night In . major speech, calls for step-by- step disarmament and a count and limitation of atomic and other weapons under strict JUN. controls.
 Following Acheson to the floor at this sixth session of the LIN. Assem- bly,, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. vishinsky hcaped ridicule on the plan. said he could not keep from laughing"
 Then he countered with Soviet proposal whose main points were:
 Cessation of hestilities In Ko- req within 10 days and withdrawal of troops to the 3sth parallel.
 Withdrawal of all foreign troops from Korea, within 90 days.
 Cenelusien of . pact of peace by the nig Five pewers, meaning inclusion of Commanist China, plus the disarnament conference next summer.
 There is little likelihood the west would even consider such plan. The pact of peace" has been the keystone of Soviet propaganda for months.
