Ike Addresses
 Dutch Cabinet

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, P) Gen. Eisenhower told the Dutch cabinet Tuesday he came to Eur ope out of sense of duty and that is the only way he would accept public office in the US.
 The retiring NATO commander made the statement when he ap- peared before the cabinet in the last in his series of farewell ap- pearances in European NATO capitals. At the end of the month he returns to the United States.
 Eisenhower made the remark about his candidacy in response to an address by Premier Willem Dreds, who said, "You are going home to face an election to find out what fate has in store for you. You have completed success fully your job of laying the groundwork (of NATO) and now you aspire to the highest office the United States can bestow."
 Eisenhower said he would like to make correction in the Pre- mier's statement.
 ''I aspire to no public office in the United States, and will only accept one out of sense of duty" he declared. That sense of duty must be communicated to me by the great political party to which I have given such allegiance as a soldier can."

Bees Invade Home

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. - (P) -
Some friends of Mr.. and Mrs. How
ard Greusel who had dropped in
for chat noticed a couple of bees
flying around in the living room.
Greusel went over and opened
the fireplace flue. Immediately the
room was swarmed over by thou
sands of bees-all over the rug,
ceiling furniture and television
set. They later took over the base
ment.
The Greusels and friends with
drew to get help. Greusel re-enter-

with DDT. Fires were built in the
fireplace and the bees were swept
and shoveled in.
A screen was put over the Chin

bees then swarmed all over the
outside of the house. Then rain
cooled off the bee advance. They
retreated to the chimney top.
GreIsel issued an appeal to any

Food for Thought

ASK THE MAN

New people come to the cities, 20
the towns and villages and to the
distinctly rural areas of Delaware.
A great many of the people of Del
aware are shifting to less densely
populated spots. Shopping centers
spring up in the thickly populated
suburban areas. These centers are
often the shoppers dream - first
because they offer parking space.
The rural areas offer parking
space but very often grocery stocks
are. severely limited. Now which
will come first, the hen or the
egg? We hear the statement fre-
quently that food purchasing is
difficult because of limited sup
plies in local stores. Granted that
the crossroads stores carries many
foods unknown to it's shelves 20
years ago. But if you want a va
riety of cereals and your store car
ries only two, it's your job to make
your requests known to your gro
Ger and then to support him when
he can fill your order.
Sometimes a grocer will carry d
few items on which he loses mon
ey. These are referred to as "ser-
vice items" and are carried to
answer the requests of a few Gus
toners. No grocer can carry many
of these so your request for "a
brace of pheasants" may go un-
needed at a store where gasoline
sales make up a share of the
profits.
Because of the grOcer's meeting
with statesmen, he usually sees the
trends in big scale marketing but
he will never carry five types of
greens as long as cabbage is your
only request.
The stock in your grocery store
is largely up to you. Greater va
rieties in stock are usually the
result of greater requests and
greater acceptance of these foods,
once your grocer carries them.

Your United States
By FLOYD cRAMER
By FLOYD CRAlAER
President OF the Notono Association for the
Preservation Of Free Enterprise. Inc

Adolf Hitler operated on the
theory that the Big Lie, if told often
enough, would finally be accepted
as the Big Truth. Hitler came into
power as Socialist. We must never
forget that.
Nor must we ever forget that
the Russian Socialists, day in and
day out, also rely on one Big Lie
after a4other.
Currently in the United States,
the Socialists Big Lie is the asser-
tiOn that the Free Enterprise sys-
tenn benefits only the powerful and
the rich. By making this accusa-
ton over and over, the Socialists
hope to ALLEVIATE the American peo-
pie from the economic and political
system which the American people
themselves created, and which has
made them great.
AS a matter of fact and as a
matter of historic record, the Free
Enterprise system benefits every
person who has the blessed good
fortune to live under it.
It's benefits are by no means
limited. They extend to every pro-
.fessiOnal man, every small business
man, every farmer, and every sal
aried emplOye.
Let me give you just one instance
with respect to the professions, the
case of the doctors.
The people of this country have
natural desire to make the best
skills of the medical profession
available at the lowest possible
cost to the largest possible number
0f people.
Socialist minded folks argued
that the way to do this was to COM
pei the doctors to join up in a ma
tionalized' scheme for socialized
medicine. For a while, that cam
paign seemed to be gainin G
strength. But now it is weakening

Steel Rise Cost

Both Price Director Ellis Arnall

successfully will lead to more in

Of steel will cost the average
American family $1OO a year.
He admitted thata the increase,
ordered by Acting Defense Mobili-
zer John Steelman as a condition
of the 5S-day steel strike settlement.
was a very, very bitter pill for
me-.
Another round of imitation will
be set off," Arnall said. "Other in
dustries will insist on higher pri-
ces, there will be higher wages,
and the consumer, the public, is
the loser in that battle"
He said that everything will be
done to isolate" the steel in
crease.
In a letter to Arnall, Economic
Stabilizer Putnam earlier charged
the steel industry held "a loaded
gun" at the governments head in
forcing the price increase. He too
held the increase was "unwarrant-
ed. Reviewing the terms of the
strike settlement. he said he found
no reason for the steel industry's
refusal to prevent the strike or
reach an earlier agreement with
the union.
"In deciding the ISSUE" Putnam
said, "the President had to weigh
the security of our nation and the
safety of our troops in Korea
against the economic consequences
of an unstabilizing steel price
raise"

Signs Of Higher
Food Costs Grow
CONTINUED from nrst parel

Meanwhile, latest reports on
food prices generally show further
increases, especially for fruits and
vegetables and other farm pro-
ducts, he said. AS of July Is, over
all prices received by farmers were
up three points above the June
level. Responsible for the hike were
eggs, milk, hogs and seasonal
fruits and vegetables.
A check of wholesale prices of
food stuffs likewise showed in
creases. From July II to July %,
they advanced five points.
On local markets, fresh fruits
and vegetable prices continue con-
sistently above those for the same
time a year ago, OPS said. Further
increases are expected by OPS in
the light of growing reports of
droughts, coupled with the fact that
OPS is now barred from all price
controls on fruits and vegetables,
whether fresh, canned, frozen, or
dried.

Many Social Security
Claims Filed In July
continued from nrst page,

The local manager anticipates a
further increase in the number of
65-year-old applicants because of
new provision in the law which
permits those who retire this year
to have recent wages used imme-
diately in figuring the amount of
their benefit paymentsf If they
have one and a half years of work
covered by the law after 1850, it
is no longer necessary for those re-
tiring in 1852 to come back six
months later in order to have such
wages included in the computation
of their benefit amount.
Another provision of the amended
law MilbOuer points out, is of
special Importance to self-employed
people over 65 who retired or who
plan to retire this year. Before the
passage of the amendments their
earnings for the year in which the
application was filed could not be
used to figure their Old-age benefit
payments. Now, a self-employed
person who applies for and re-
ceives Old-age benefits this year
may re-apply after the close of his
taxable year and have his 1852
earnings included Il rehguring
their monthly benefits. In general,
this will mean that benefits payable
on the account of a self-emplOyed
person who retires this year will
be larger than as originally cOmpu-
ted.
Another new provision in the law
is important to beneficiaries who
have continued working after
reaching age IS. If they have had a
year and half of work covered by
the law after 1850 their benefits
can be refigured under the new
formula, Mr.. Milbouer stated.

Letter To The Editor
How About FarmingtOn9


In a recent news item publish
ed by one of your contemporaries
regarding the vacancies soon TO
exist in certain district offices and
the mentioning of the names of
prospective candidates who would
aspire to fill them, brings back
memories of many years ago.
Every member of the Democratic
Party whose interest in it's success
at every succeeding election who
were responsible for the gentle
mems agreement among the voters
to rotate the Office of State Senator
to each precinct at the expiration
OF the then incumbent's term have
now crossed the Great Divide.
When Edward B. Carter's term
as State Senator (1916-192O) ex-
plred the nomination was rotated
to Pennington and Charles d. Muir
ply, Sr., was elected and re-elect-
ed after canvassing the Senatorial
District to see if the voters were
agreeable. Since that time not any
one else has ever been elected from
that precinct, yet candidates have
come forward, but apparebtly
lacked the necessary standards and
qualifications As established by
certain people.
The same condition exists at the
present time, a candidate from
Pennington has made an annOun-
cement but those who would en-
deavOr to succeed those gentlemen,
now deceased, who resided in the
First of the Ninth, have scrapped
that old agreement as no longer
desirable because it does not fur
ther their personal desires per-
haps.
1t would seem that very subtly
they have fOrmented unrest and
dissatisfaction among the voters
and workers of the Second of the
Ninth that by so doing they will
again be able to pick their mOnOr-
ity choice for party harmony? How
clever.
Why not be satisfied with what
belongs to the First of the Ninth
by rotation i. e. Levy Court Com
missioner and State Representa-
tive, and let Pennington pick their
candidate for Senator and then
let's elect him.
Unless, of course, he must go
through a screening committee as
/ have been informed all senator
ial candidates from the Sixth Rep
resentative District will have to
do hereafter since l was accused
of selling the party out in the last
Special Session. But when the
chips were down and the integrity
of public servant was on the line
l can still be labeled "Semper FL
delis" without fear of contradic-
ton.
Also to further advance my at
titude on this new set-up and with
due realization that those honored
gentlemen responsible for the
aforesaid agreement, forgot more
politics than 1 have yet learned,
let us uphold the agreements es-
tablished by them before l was
born, or repudiate the whole set
up and abide by the consideration
granted to the First of the Sixth
relative to a Levy Court Commits
siOner since the Inauguration of a
three member court and to the
Second of the Ninth relative to
candidate FOR senator.
1 would state in conclusion that
have as yet to reach that stage
of political apathy whereby
could be accused of helping to de-
feat a fellow Democrat aspiring to
any Office that would be the gift of
the majority of my Representative
District.
