BACKGROUND Of Moves.

Nom Communist observers gen.
orally have considered the re-
cent Soviet moves as propaganda
designed to arouse false hopes of
peaceful Communist intentions in
the West and to undermine the
Western rearmament program.
These Soviet actions have been
coupled with a violent series of
Communist charges that United
States troops have dropped germ
bombs on North Korea and China.
The West has repeatedly and Wig
|orously denied these charges. The
Reds have refused to let the In
ternational Red Cross make an
investigation of the accusations.
The Communists also have re-
fused to admit a United Nations
commission to Soviet-controlled
East Germany for an investiga-
ton of the possibility of holding
free, Democratic elections there.
Suggestions for a top-level
meeting of the big power leaders,
which recur periodically, so far
have produced no results. Presi-
dent Truman says he will meet
Mr.. Stain only in Washington.
Mr.. Stain, it is generally as
'sumed, would attend such a meet
ing only in the. Soviet Union or
perhaps in one of its satellite
countries.

Will these children have to go

LETTER
To the Editor

The following letter to the editor
was received for the Smyrna
issue of October 8, Immediately
following the tragedy near here on
the Saturday night before, when a
mother of seven children was stab
bed to death by her husband. The
mother was Mrs. Hazel Marie
Jolly, and several of the children
attend the Smyrna School.
There has happened here in our
midst something so appalling that
all of us in this community must
feel it weighing sorrowfully on our
minds and hearts, and wondering
wherein we have failed as citizens,
for it does seem upon looking back
that had we all been more inter-
ested in our neighbors' welfare this
tragedy need never have happened.
And now the lives of seven inno-
cent little victims are at stake.
Are we, as community, going to
be concerned about what happens
to these children, or are we going
to sit back and allow the winds of
circumstance to blow them about
like fallen leaves?
If ever there was a matter to be
examined by the Parent Teacher
Association, the service clubs, the
Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, the Federated Women's
Clubs, and the churches, this is it.
This problem is too big to be
solved by any one organization or
agency. 1t needs the cooperation
the love and thoughtful concentra'
tion of all of us, if these little lives
are to be saved from wreckage.
Everyone have asked says the
same thing: "Oh, if their own peo-
pie can't take care of them, the
state will do it," Do we realize
that "the state" means ourselves
we people of Delaware. And how
many of us know what state or
ganization has this grave response
bility thrust upon it in the event
that the problem can't be solved by
relatives?
I am ashamed to say that 1 dc
not know into whose protective
custody little children go when
something happens suddenly to
their parents, but 1 do know that
they used to be put in the home OF
detention, which is the place where
people awaiting trial for crimes are

Democratic candidate for Prothon-
otary, is at present filling this Of

record. AS a member of the Bar
Col. LeFevre is well acquainted
with the technical details of the

I'm ]. Wesley Walls, Democratic

we have a candidate who has serv-

fiscal team that enabled the county
to reduce expenditures as well as
provide capital improvements dur
ing the past year. His ability as
a public official is undisputed and
he will take into the Register of

sured judgment that has governed
his actions as Comptroller.
William ]. Paskey, Democratic
candidate for Comptroller, is
rounding out a successful term as
Sheriff during which the manner
in which he maintained the records
of the Office and discharged the
Sheriff's duties, has brought forth
much praise. He has been describ-
ed as sincere and conscientious
public official.
Robert Pippin, Democratic cam

OF the two children, Earl and LII

would be unhappy attending the

Mrs. Oates replied that She was
not worried about her children not
being. able to get along with their

together every. day and got along
fine.

ways done very well.
