Plan Early For

If you're planning to visit Eu-

is more popular with Americans
than ever BEFORE" said the motor
club official. This means accom-
modations aboard steamships are in
great demand and should be book
cd as far in advance as possible
particularly for the Summer sea-
son.
"Air travel also is rising in in
terest, especially with the impetus
of low cost tourist fares which will
go into effect this Spring. Either
way, by air or steamship, 1t looks
like a banner year"
Mr.. Salsgiver said indications

Travellers who are planning to take

tended into the urban fringe and
became metropolitan in character.
In some cases cities were given
power to zone mad control subdi-
visions in unincorporated areas out
side their boundaries.
1t is not surprising that follow
ing these davances, it was dis
covered that planning, which had
proven useful in guiding the de-
velopment of cities and u r b a n
areas, would also be useful to
counties, states and groups of
states. Thus we find in the early
1905 county and state planning
commissions, groups of states CO.

planning organizations and one re-
gional planning and development
corporation - the Tennessee Val
ley Authority. +
About this same time it became
increasingly evident that the size
and character of the physical plant
of any community will inevitably
be determined in large measure by
its desire and ability to pay for it..
Accordingly, capital expenditures
budgets began to receive deserved
attention. Since these, in turn, have
direct relationship to feasible an
nual administrative budgets, t h e
necessity of correlating servic e
programs, physical planning and
financial planning became more OBJ
vious. Recognizing the limits on
community development imposed
by ability to pay, the more pro-
gressive planning agencies h a v e
embarked on studies of community
esource base and methods of
strengthening md protecting it.
Success in this direction will raise
the economic standards of the citi-
zens of the community. And finally,
since planning of any character is
useful only as it serves human
needs and aspirations, increasing
attention is also being given to
studies of the composition of the
population of each community.
The next article of this series
will deal with the development Of
planning administration.

Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, head

Icy, yesterday said he is morally
certain" that Communists have
infiltrated his own supersecret

The disclosure was made as
General Smith testified in dep

McC Carthy, Republican, of Wis
consin. against Senator Benton,
Democrat, of Connecticut.
II believe there are Communists

Questioned by Attorney The
|odore Kiendl, who, with Gerhard
IP. Van Arkel, represented Sena-
tor Benton, as to whether he had
ever seen anything tending to
show Gen. Marshall was part of a
conspiracy, Gen. Smith answered
i'm the negative. He added:
"Of all the great men I've

them in the last Is years. know

who equal Gen. Marshall in char

Defends Diplomat Davies.
Gen. Smith also came to the de-
fense of John P. Davies jr., State
Department career diplomat, who
was suspended last year, after
charges were made that he had
recommended four persons, de-
scribed as Communists or pro-
Communists, for CIA jobs. Mr.
Davies was subsequently cleared

stored to his post.
II believe Mr.. Davies to be a

clared.

said the decision to delay the tax

PANAMA CITY, Panama. Sept.

today that he will seek a revision
of the Panama Canal treaty with

ference. He was asked to comment
on a recent statement he made
abroad that the annuity the
United States pays Panama for
the canal is unfair. The amount
| is $3.50 900 annually in gold.
He replied that everybody-"we
and they (the United States)"-
are agreed the amount is made
quate. He then read a short para
graph from his forthcoming in
augural address to the effect that
Panama will fulfill all its interna-

revise some of them.

which is not based on sound econ
omy," Gen. Smith said. This was
in answer to a quotation attributed
to Senator Mccarthy to the effect
that the Marshall Plan would build
areas economically but keep
them militarily defenseless.
The General said that, at one
time, he believed it was possible
to work out a method of living
|peaceably with the Soviet.
But. he said, II began to realize
the latent hostility of the Soviet
in 1943, during the early days of

Nothing more contemplate
has ever occurred In the long
history of human spite and
envy. It is unspeakable. and the
authors of these ISLANDERS are
unworthy of the company Of de-
cent men and women. Now what
has the Republican candidate
done about this outrage? Has he
condemned these two SANDER
ers? Has he denounced their lies
about his great friend and bene-
factor? I'll tell you what he. has
done. He has endorsed them
both for reelection to the Sen
ate. One he has embraced pub
licly, the other he has humbly
thanked for riding on his cam
paign train. Never q word Of
criticism-or even Of distaste.
And why? Because he thinks
these two unprincipled men will
bring him votes in November.
Now what do you think of a

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. 4.
Oct. S.-FoHoDing is the tert OF
President Truman's speech here
yesterday:
I want to ask you to vote for
Adlai Stevenson for President.
He is extraordinarily well quail
fed for that great and difficult
job. He is qualified by expert
ence, as a chief executive of
one of our great States. and a
man who has held important
posts in our national defense
and our foreign policy. He is
also qualified by character. He
is humble and courageous and
honest-honest with himself
and with others.
Those are very precious quail
ties in the presidency. In the
next four years, our President
may have to face some of the
most serious decisions in his
tory, and we need a man in that
job whose character we can
rely on absolutely.
Remember that the Presi-
dent has the awful responsible
ity OF deciding whether or not
to use the atom bomb. And if
that question is presented in
the next few years. our Presi-
dents decision on it may we'll
determine the future of our
lives and our civilization.
Let me tell you. too, that is
q decision that a President has
to make for himself-he can't
pass the buck. So We need,
more than ever, q President
who can stand up against po-
litical pressure when he has to
make the tough decisions.

Owes Great Debt
To Gen. Marshall

If there is any one man to
whom the Republican candidate
owes a great debt of loyalty and
gratitude. it is Gen. George Cat
lett Marshall. It was Gen.
Marshall who promted him to
a position of responsibility in
the War Department General
Staff. it was Marshall who made
him our commander in the

Reason for Opposition
To Gen. Eisenhower

Now. I know a lot Of people
are wondering why I am so
strongly opposed to the Repub-

didn't you yourself once think
that he was qualified to be Pres
ident?" That is true. I did.
so I think these people are en-
titled to know the reasons for
the campaign I am making. Be-
cause this is a matter that goes
beyond mere partisan politics.
knew the Republican candi-
date we'll. He was our COM
mander in Europe when first
became President. I later made
him Chief of Staff of the Army,
and then sent him to Europe
to command the forces of the
North Atlantic Treaty countries.
He did a good job in both capa-
cities. The Republican candidate
is a great general. But I made
a serious mistake when I
thought he had the qualities
needed for the highest Office in
this country. srSir
I realized, of course, that he
was totally unfamiliar with
politics. I knew he would have
trouble in political life, as all
military men do. separating the
wheat from the chaff, and the
political phonies from the men
who are really working for the
good Of the country. But I
thought he would always stand
up for the things he believed in
for the things his whole career
had been dedicated to achiev-
ing.
This is not what see when
look at his campaign. The
general whose words I read,
whose speeches I hear, is not
the general once knew. Some
thing has happened to him.
I am depely disturbed by this
change.
What I thought were his deep
convictions, turn out not to be
convictions at all. He has be-
trayed the more liberal and re-
sponsible wing of the Republic
can Party which supported him
for nomination in the July con-
vention. He has betrayed every
principle about our foreign
policy and our national defense
