TIN CAN THROWING
By MARY X. Shaw

By Mary K. Shaw
| like the spring with its lovely
weather;
| like the grass and lovely flowers
But | don't like tin-can throwers
Let's dig hole and put them in,
And get away from tin-can
throwing.
For when friends from far and
near,
Come to visit our little town;
Let's welcome them and n1errily
say,
That kind of folks have moved
away
The tin-cau throwers.
They ruin the grass; they spoil
the looks-and
Don't say nottingham awful
smell!
These will even make our famil-
les sick;
The dogs will carry them around
And even spread the germs afar.
That's the reason let us help to
stop
These cans and the way it looks;
To make this town better spot;
Then we will be veryproud,
If we will only check this
, tin-can throwing.

ances Of our allies that they

Kremlin's peace offensive. the
man in the street in England.
France and other Western
European countries feels
strongly that we must test the
Communists good faith by
meeting them half way, and
by showing our own peaceful
intentions.
The average European citi-
zen seems to think that the
best test would be a meeting
of the Big -Four preceded by a
halt in our. defense prepara-
tions. An interesting illus
tration of this frame of mind
is the reaction in the French
press, and especially in the
provincial papers, to the re-
cent Red offensive in Indo-
China.
While Foreign Minister
: Georges Bidault pointed his
finger at the Kremlin as the
instigator of that offensive,
the vast majority of the press
insists that this is a clear in
dication that there has been
a breach between Moscow and
Peiping, and that Mao Tse-
tung has engineered the. -op-

Republicans Stand to Gain Political Capital in ToIkothon:
It's Delaying Some Rather Vexnq G. O P Problems

The present air Of confusion
that shrouds the long Senate
debate on whether Congress
should give the States title to
the oil-rich submerged lands
is due to the fact that every
body is trying to make political
capital out Of the situation.
Senators actually have very
little else in the immediate
prospect that they care about
doing. Nor are they under any
real pressure from the White
House or the public to get
going on other things, so that
while they are becoming some
what bored, they do not feel
on the defensive.
Majority Leader Taft does
not find it too hard to muster
a smile for the situation that
puts anti-f1llibuster liberals,
Chiefly Democrats, in the role
of filibusterers; he enjoys it.
He is well aware that his
charges are not eager to come
to grips with the issues backed
up behind the submerged lands.

The disproportion between

their governments to step up

According to reports from
Paris: the contrary seems to
be true. The futterings of
the Red dove of peace have
made an unmiStakable i'm

politicians of Western Europe
as on the peoples who hold in
their hands the political fu-

Senator Taft can also be
