Wire and Lanier.
AS a matter of fact, Messrs
Wire and Lanier, beginning Feb
ruary 16, began to operate as
"Wire Hardware and Lumber Co.,
and Lanier Appliance Company in
stead of partnership.
But the location for both is the
same - and Messrs. Wire and
Lanier will still be on deck to Of
fer the same high quality merchan-
disc in the same old friendly way.
In case you've forgotten, Mr.. W.
W. Welsh, father of Mr.. Bernard
Welsh, local attorney, opened up
the original business at Commerce
Lane and Church Street way back
in the early 1905 but that build
ing was burned shortly afterward.
The new location on Baltimore
Road was new in 1895. The firm
uses the old site as warehouse.
Next proprietors were Ward
Brothers Porter and the late
Frank Ward, who operated the
business until it was sold to Messrs.
Wire and Lanier in 1914.
They are terminating their part
nership by mutual agreement.
Why? They just like it better
that way.

Sparkman Returns
To Stump Today

BAKERSFIELD, Calf, .R-Sen.
John Sparkman, the Democratic
vice presidential nominee, re-
turned to political stumning today
with blast against Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower's proposed trip to
Korea,
The Republican presidential can
didate three days ago pledged that
if he's elected he will visit Korea
in an effort TO win the war,
"What could Eisenhower do?"
asked Sparkman during press
conference in Los Angeles last
night prior TO a swing through Cali.
fornia's agricultural San Joaquin
Valley.
"Gen. Bradley has been there
and Gen. Collins and all the chiefs
of staff have been there and they
haven't been able to do anything
about ending it.
"As see it, the thing that's
holding up the armistiee today Is
our failure to turn over prisoners
who don't want to 90 back to the
Communists. | don't think we ought
to send those prisoners back. It
would mean certain death for
many Of them"
In hitting the campaign highway
again after three days hospitali.
cation with an attack Of laryngitis,
Sparkman said Eisenhower should
answer two questions:
Il. Is he willing TO send those
prisoners back to the Reds?
20. II not, is be willing TO expand
the war into World War tfIg"
Sparkman's itinerary today calls
for a series Of talks here. In Fres.
no and in Stockton, where he'll
spend the night,
Sparkman accused Eisenhower
yesterday Of clearly misleading
the public into believing the Re-
puhlieans can cut federal ex.
pendiinres.

WASHINGTON R - The Air
Force is leaving to its pilots and
overseas commanders the decision
of what to do if Soviet fighters
again attack American planes fly
ing peaceable missions over nom
Russian territory.
A USAF spokesman made it
plain today. in answer to questions,
that the crew of a plane, like the
BIO shot down by Russian fighters
over Japanese waters earlier this
month, has the right to fire back in
self-defense.
However, the American plane
downed by Soviet gunfire Oct. 2
could not have fired back because
it wasn't prepared for shooting,
It's guns were ''tied down" during
the routine training flight to the
Northern tip of Hokkaido.
Another answer by the spokes-
man indicated the Air Force now
is ready to cope with any such
attacks by Soviet fighters by as
signing fighter-plane escort when
needed. The spokes man said,
s'Day-to-day tactical considerations
dictate whether escort is pro-
vided."
This double-barreled self-defense
program-apparent blanket author
ity for plane crews to protect them,
selves and for commanders to as
sign fighter escort when needed
seems directly related to the for
NAL note sent to Russia by the
State Department Oct. IL.
That note. protesting the Oct. Z
incident and demanding cempen-
sation for the loss of the BIO and
the eight men aboard, urged the
Soviet government seriously to
consider the grave consequences
which can flow from its reckless
practice, if persisted in, of attack

Air Force Leaves Decision
OF Firing At Reds To Korean
Front Commanders In Order

ing without provocation the air
craft of other states
Apparently, one grave conse-
quenee could be the failure of
Russian fighters to return to base
after an attack on American air
craft.
After World War II it became
Air Force practice to send out un.
escorted planes on routine weather
surveys and similar missions in
Far East and European areas near
Soviet-controlled territory.
The spokesman said:
I'm no case do these routine
scheduled flights impinge on ter
ritory Of other nations unless by
specific prior agreement.
.'Infrequent day B29 combat
reconnaissance flights over North
Korea may be provided fighter
escort for periods in which enemy
fighter attacks could be launched.
''The routine flight of the B29
lost over Hokkaido, japanese ter
ritory, was noncombat, and there
fore, was uneseorted.
fRoutine noneombat flights BY
B29s are generally performed un-
der visual conditions to insure that
there is no intentional border vio-
lation."
During the last two years Soviet
intereeptor planes have made a
number of deadly or alarmingly
close attacks ON United States air
craft. The first serious incident
occurred in 1850, shortly after the
outbreak of the Korean War, when
Red planes shot down an Ameri-
can Navy plane over international
waters in the Baltic Sea.
From time to time, Soviet fight
ers, by closing in on and firing
