ping American food supplies into
East Berlin. He replied that no
such proposal had been made by
the three Allied High Commits
sioners in Germany. but that it
was thought worth considering.
The question of free elections
for Eastern Germany would un-
doubtedly be an important issue
for discussion at the Big Three
ministers meeting here, Mr..
Dulles said. The Berlin out
breaks have encouraged the idea
that the Western powers could
resume the offensive in demand
ing national elections in Ger
many to re-unite the country.
Talks May Be Pinp0inted.
Mr.. Dulles said it was quite
likely that the three foreign min
isters' conference here would
also include bilateral talks with
the American Government on
matters of particular concern to
them. Presumably these two
power talks would precede the
effort of the Big Three to work
out a co-ordinated policy for
Germany and the Far East. Mr..
Dulles said he had no indication
at this point how long the min
isters' conference might last.
In answer to a question on the
revised Broker amendment cur
failing treaty making rights of
the President, Mr., Dulles de-
clared that the new proposal
was in certain respects worse
than the Ohio Senator's original
resolution, and in any event no
more acceptable to the State De-
partment.
The amendment, Mr.. Dulles
said. would make it impossible
for the Government to negotiate
necessary treaties Of friendship,
commerce. narcotics control and
other important matters with
foreign countries. -.-"

3 Organizations Fight

A petition by the Attorney
General to brand three organiza-
tions as Communist fronts came
under attack today before the
Subversive Activities Control
Board.
Attorneys for the organizations
argued the petition contained
merely legalisms, unsupported by
hard facts.
The lawyers claimed the At
torney General failed to give
adequate information about the
organizations programs, policies.
meetings, finances and cam
paigns. The three groups in
volved are the, Joint Anti-Fascist
Refugee Committee, the Ameri-
can Committee for Foreign Born,
and the National Council of

The lawyers challenged the
right of two members of the
board to sit on the case-Harry
P. Cain, former Republican Sen
ator from Washington, and Wat
son B. Miller. former Commits
sioner of immigration and Ma
turalization Service.
The lawyers gave no i'm
mediate reason for this chal-
lenge. They devoted their Just
arguments to motions to throw
out the case or delay it.
Attorney David Rein described
the Attorney Generals petition
as "repetitious verbiage." He said
it is so devoid of facts it should
be dismissed.

The courts threw out these cases

Ing the customers, found dope,
weapons or numbers slips on
them, they would charge the
customers with possession of
such items and those cases
would be thrown out too. The
courts ruled that if the arrest
were illegal, so was the search.
Arrests Legalized.
Now. Mr.. Rover explained, the
law gives police a specific right
to arrest persons in dives and
since they have the right to ar
rest, the search will be legal.
Thus. a criminal found in a
breeding place of crime is sub
ject to two penalties-punish-
ment for being in the place and
punishment for whatever a search
reveals he is carrying. A man
with previous conviction found
packing a pistol in a dive faces
up to II years in prison.
The prosecutor cited section
after section of the new law to
show what a crimp it is likely
to put in gambling and other
illegal activities. For instance,
in the past the prosecutor had
to refund the thousands of dol
lars picked up in gambling raids.
Now, If it can be proved that.
the money was used in gambling,
the gambler loses his money per-
manently. Mr.. Rover cited one
case where $4,000 had to be re-
turned under the old laws. Autos

these are an essential part of a

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
said he had a three-man board
making a Section-by-sec an

their powers of arrest and search

According to statistics recently re-

of church building projects started
throughout the United States in the
month of -hne. In 1851, the peak
year, there was $452, 100000 spent In
constructing churches which means
this year will surpass that peak if the
present rate continues. This fact in
dicates that people in general are
more church minded than ever and
those who pay for these projects do
so because they intend to use them
and wish to make this provision for
their children's use in the years to
come.

PLAYING HOCKEY from the
News office Saturday afternoon, we
ducked out of the door early to haul
the little woman and youngsters
down the Dixie to Cinci for a weeks
vacation from scrambling our eggs.
Last time down was in the dreary
part of winters end, and the lushness
of the summer scene offered happy
contrast.
No wonder, despite the tiresome
traffic watch, folk take to the high
way at every opportunity. The ever
changing color patterns of field and
buildings, like glass particles in a
kaleidoscope, offer a new arrange
ment at each turn of the road.
Now, acres of pink clover
blooms are adding a new pastel
tint to the countryside, accented
by the sunset. Golden stubble of
recently harvested wheat and
oats fields provide an interesting
contrast against the deep greens
of maturing corn, and in spots
blue cornfiowers border side
roads.
We couldn't help thinking what a
heaven those clover fields must be
for our friends, the bees and
about Howard Rickly, Blufton's bee
man who recently ran a classified adj
yertisement under the heading want
ed"-bee swarms. At the time we
asked Howard if he wanted the ad
under "wanted to buy. No, he said,
people just want to get rid of them
usually. 1t is all matter of values,
we guess, what is worth nothing to
one person-sometimes even a nui-
sance-has a great value to another.
Personally we are not in Mr.. Rick
ley's class, and while we can appre-
ciate the important work bee has
to do, we are one who gives him a
wide berth, wishing not to interfere
in any way.
Corn fields in the lower part of the
state may be a little ahead of those
of the Bluffton area, but we could
see no great difference. Rain, it
seems, has been no more abundant
further south along the Dixie.
Between Dayton and Cincinna-
ii, those who have made the trip
in recent months have perhaps
noticed an enormous amount of
new residential building develop
ment, and here and there vacant
windows stare out of spanking
new apartment buildings
indications, it seems, that hous-
ing is catching up in the metro
pOlitan areas.
