while more than one-fourth were struck
when they attempted to cross streets be-
tween intersections. In altogether too many
of these cases. the child had never been
taught the danger of these actions she
pointed out.
Mrs. Bearden urged parents to impress
the following rules on their children:
1-Remember always that streets are for
cars and not for scooters, tricycles, roll
er skates or play.
Gross the street at the corner only,
and wherever possible at corner with
traffic signal light or traffic officer on duty.
Look both ways, then for turning traffic,
and cross when the way is clear.
3-Never forget that bicycles are sub
iect to the same rules and regulations that
govern automobiles. This includes careful
observance of signs and signals.

Millions For The Rich; Protes ted Pennies For The M

An interesting sdelght of the investi-
cation of the RFC, a government agency
originated during the administration of
former President Hoover, is the uncovering
of deals in which tremendous profits were
made by investors A profit of S2,SO00O0 is
reported to have been made by one group
which bought and resold government surplus
material. Another group is reported to have
obtained loan of millions by putting up a
few hundred dollars
In the meantime, our local investigators
are deeply concerned lest doddering old peo-
pie drawing from ten to thirty dollars
month may not be cheating the government
by making a few pennies on the side or by
holding on to little property which is the
result of their lifelong efforts.

again." The old line that he will not run
again has been accepted by millions. Even
some of the chief executives closer advi-

race. 1t has been stated in one current publ

quits but doesn't know another Democrat a.

run another race, regardless of how muddy

Constantine Brown:

Whatever reply the West
ern Big Three-the United
States, Britain and France
make to Russia's latest note with
respect to the proposed Big -Four
foreign ministers conference
here starting July %, Soviet
intention was made clear in
MoscoW's communication early
this week.
That intention is to make
the utmost propaganda use Of
both the conference and the
preparations for it. This effort
to show the Western powers to
the rest of the world as aggres-
sorS, or at least potential aggres-
sors, is centered in the demand
that the foreign ministers dis
cuss the Atlantic pact and
American overseas bases as a
part of international tensions.
The clear implication in Soviet
Russia's insistence on this point
is that organization of the At
lantic nations for their own
defense (the Russians contend
it is for aggression and the de-
velopment Of American bases
around the world are contribut-
ing to international tension and
the crisis which now prevails.
The truth, Of course. is the ex-
act opposite, for the Atlantic
pact and overseas bases are the
reaction to, not the cause Of,
international fears which are
aroused and stimulated by Rus
sia's obvious preparations to
carry through their plans to
establish Communism (tlae We

lishment of Communism is their
ultimate aim, although they
know, as all of us in the West
know, that the Allies ultimate
objective does not yet encom-
pass a decision to overthrow,
by an active effort. Communism
as it is established in Russia.
Whether the objective is en-
larged eventually to include ac-
tive efforts to destroy Com
munism in Russia depends on
Russia's own actions and on
whether she forces third
global conflict on the rest of
the world.
However, the disparity of OBJ
jectives as admitted by the Rus
slams and as made clear by the
Western world is the dominant
consideration in looking at Rus
sia's abuse of our peaceful dis
position. as evidenced by our
long effort in Paris to arrive
at an agenda for the Big Four
meeting.
The American Government,
confronted with this obvious
Soviet propaganda effort. has
nevertheless undertaken to try
in all good faith to establish
the basis for a conference aimed
to settle many, if not all, of the
differences between East and
West.
AS a matter of fact. this sin
cere effort has been carried so
far as to arouse criticism within
this country, especially from
those quarters where the view
is held that, in the last analysis,
nothing less than a military
conflict can settle East-West
differences. Yet the American
Government, along with Britain
and France, persists in an ef-
fort which to many appears
foredoomed.
There is good substantial
reason for this persistence in
the face of almost overwhelm-
ing odds. It is that the Western
Allies, being concerned for the
