North Atlantic Pact
Chiefs Meet to Select
Naval Commander

North Atlantic Pact Chiefs
are meeting today for impor-
tant talks on the Island of NAL
ia on appointment Of a SUI
preme commander. One of the
main issues is whether the
Mediterranean should be de-
Tended with a coordinated com
mand responsible to General
Dwight Eisenhower's head
quarters, as favored by the
United States.
On the other hand it was
suggested there should be a
series of commands directly
responsible to the Chiefs Of
staffs in Washington, favored
by the British.

growing threat to Seoul.
The Chinese have been or
dered to hold off the relent-

Montgomery SideIights
By Elsie White Haines

"Are you ready for Christmas?"
is the favorite greeting at this sea-
son of the year. Like most of Rock
vile business places, the Sentinel
office on Courthouse Square has
been gaily decorated for several
weeks thanks to Lila Thomson. In
our homes we have not yet put on
the holiday touch-we are making
preparations, however.
Those who buy their Christmas
trees, holly and other green's are
!. missing half of the fun of the sea-
son. A few days before the snow,
with Lady, the pooch, we tramped
through fields and woods in search
of materials for decoration and
had pulled on Stacks and boots
ready to hunt for partridge berries
to complete some winter gardens
when the snow came hurting down
on Friday and put an end to the
plans.
Was it not Martin Luther who
said, "God writes the gospel not in
the Bible alone, but on the trees
and flowers and clouds and stars?
Certainly it does ones soul good to
walk in the woods, and so few
think of doing it in the winter.

hoping to find a seed or two.
Do remember the birds. Give
them Christmas gift of lump of
suet tied to a high tree branch -
some sunf1ower seeds for the car
dinals-small seeds for tiny birds
and a few peanuts for the blue
jays. Any of them will appreciate
even bread crumbs. You do not
need a fancy feeder-they enjoy
food just as much from the ground.
Placed high, however, dogs and
cats bother them less. A pan of
warm water along the middle of
the day and again in late afternoon
is also welcomed by the feathered
visitors.
And now it is time for this col
umn to wish you all a merry
Christmas. We wish there was
some different way of doing so.
Perhaps the best wish we can
make isthat your family will all be
together. We shall just use the
little verse we have written so
many times in our twenty-five
years of newspaper work.
The seasons glad greeting
And cordial "hello"
To as fine friendly folks
As we ever shall know.

"You took the birds with you
when you moved from the Club
house," remarked Robina Wallace,
who with her husband, Charles, oc-
cupied the lower floor apartment
last winter when we were on Will

feeders on the porch over the Wal

empty sunfiower seeds, but they
kenjoyed the birds that fluttered

Robina said. The Wallaces will

SIS Million RFC Loan
To Enlarge Supply Of
Copper Considered
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-The Recon-
struction Finance Corp. is con-
Isidering new loan of about SITS
million to open up a huge supply
of copper, one of the scarcest de-
fense materials.
Plans for the new project were
disclosed today, by RFC Admins
traitor Stuart Symington in a
speech before the National Credit
Conference of the American Bank
iers' Association here.
Mr.. Symington referred to the
approval of a $57,18 900 RFC
loan last month for the White
Pine Copper Co. to develop a big
untapped copper deposit in North
ern Michigan. Then he added, I'VE
are looking at a much larger one
Qoan) for the same purpose"
In Discussion Stage.
In Washington, an RFC off,
cial told a reporter the new
project is in the preliminary dis
cusSion stage and formal loan
application has not been made.
There was no immediate indi-
cation of the location Of the
new deposit or the company in
volved.
The RFC official said the
the amount under study is about
SO per cent larger than the
White Pine loan. If approved,
it would be the biggest RFC
loan since World War II.
The ore deposit involved, the
RFC official said. is even big
ger than White Pine. The White
Pine project calls for produc-
ton of up to 10 million pounds
of copper annually within three
years-about 212 per cent of
total peak World War II con-
sumption.
The official said the company
which has started preliminary
negotiations on the loan is not
one of the big Three" copper
producers - Anaconda, Kenne-
colt. and Phelps-Dodge.
Tin Price Jumped.
Mr.. Symington. discussing an
other defense material, suggested
some foreign suppliers of tin are
trying to get "a key to the United
States Treasury"
The RFC, sole importer of tin,
stopped buying it after prices
jumped $50 per cent at some
points following outbreak of the
Korean war.
The United States is stale
mated in negotiations with Bo-
livia for a new price on tin i'm
ported from that country.
IF we cannot buy at reason
able prices" Mr.. Symington
warned. I'VE intend to make our
present supplies last. America
is ready to buy tin at a fair price,
Mr.. Symington said the United
States is trying to build up de-
fenses to protect the entire free
world and must not destroy its
own economic system by bowing
to price exploitation.

and have look at your mine, he said. /.
Two days later Lieutenant Gargulo was
sitting unhappily just inside the old COM
pressor building Outside on the road one of
the gray police cars was deserted, while the
second was tipped sideways in the ditch with
steam coming out of its radiator where a
burst from Alejandro's machine pistol had
torn the pipes to wreckage. Gargulo was
coolly infuriated, or so he seemed to Joao.
"A machine pistol in Gods name!' he said.
This is not going to be easy. What were
they carrying when they saw you, old MANI"
''Suitcases. Lieutenant. Heavy ones"
CARGULo nodded. Then, coming from afar,
relayed to their ears by the echo of success

pistol fire shattered the tense stiffness of the
place. Gargulo cursed bitterly. do you
know what that is?" Joao knew perfectly
we'll, but he shook his head and looked
blank and humble. 1T is another machine
pistol. And that damn girl must be using it

The lieutenant tipped his hat back and spat
disgustedly into the pit which once held the

going to have word with Peraza," he said
He might listen to reason"
The police lieutenant left the shelter of
the mine buildings and worked his way up
toward the black cavern in the mountain
side. Alexandra saw him coming and smiled.
He had spent days and nights thinking his
way into the mind of police commander
faced with the present circumstances He
thought he knew every way the police would
try to take him "a dawn assault, hand
grenades. tear gas.
He and Maria were prepared for all these
things They lay in weapon pits made of
rocks and mud. Unless the police managed
to lob hand grenade into the pits them
selves they would never harm them. They
both had Spanish army gas masks. He had
bought them at the same time he bought the
Biretta machine pistols. Probably the only
way in which they could be taken would be
by mass assault. This would cost lot of
policemen. Alexandra put his faith on the
likelihood that the Portuguese would not
lose a lot of policemen for the sake of pulling
one of Francisco Francois chestnuts out of
the fire.
HE police commander was crawling up
to have chat. Alexandra was glad of it.
1t would pass the time.
"Peraza! Come out" Gargulo shouted in
bad Spanish from cover fifteen yards from
the mine entrance 1--WE have you corked
up. You can't escape" Alexandra did not
answer. Don't be fooll' Gargulo bel
lowed angrily. IF you resist arrest and kill
one of my boys you'll never see Spain to

He had warned the Council two weeks ago that another city clerk would have to be found soon, be- cause the heavy load of duties connected with the organization If a new city has been cutting into time needed for his private compensable) accounts.
