YES, TOMMY, YOUR LITTLE PUPPY
HAS A WONDERFUL HOME


A Chronicle reader told us this touching
story OF little boy and his Cocker puppy
this week. AS told to us the story goes sub
stantially like this: few days ago the wife
IN the family found box in which was
small Cocker puppy on the front porch of
her home. On the top of the box scrawled in
the handwriting of a very small boy was q
note which said, Whoever finds puppy,
please keep him. Please be good to him. NV
mommy wouldn't let me keep him. God will
bless you If you will please treat him good
and, please oh please, feed him for me- The
note was signed Tommy"
Well, Tommy, your little canine friend
has found wonderful home. His new play
mates are little girl of five and little boy
of three years. They have named him "Tom-
N.Y. He is happy in his new home. They
are feeding him well. He is getting loving
care and has already adjusted himself to his
new home and has become one of the family.
1t is too bad that your mOmmy could not let
you keep the little fellow, but you should be
happy that real animal lovers have taken
him to their hearts. Maybe at some future
date you may meet Tommy But in the mean
time don't worry about him. He is happy and
contented-and what is more he is bringing
daily happiness to his new masters.

RUSSIA CHANGES ITS LINE
Some time ago Secretary of State Dulles
observed that the Stain era has ended and
the Eisenhower era begun, bringing with
1t new hope for all mankind" He also said.
in discussing confusing recent changes in
Soviet attitudes, that the Kremlin apparent
ly has launched a "peace defensive" rather
than peace offensive" He warned that
we cannot yet tell whether this represents a
basic change or merely tactical shift.
1t would be foolish man indeed who
would say without qualification that the
Kremlln has either voluntarily taken or been
forced into position of sincerely wanting
to end the conflicts between the communist
and the anti-cOmmunist worlds. At the same
time, some of the most skeptical are coming
to feel that very significant developments
are taking place within the communist orbit
The most dramatic example of this, of course,
occurred in bloody Korea, when Red China
hnally backed up on the prisoner of war
repatriation isSue-the only major issue that
had stood in the way of some kind of truce
for more than year--and accepted, in it's
fundamentals, the position of the United
States. And there have been other signs.
For one, Soviet anti-American propaganda
has been nowhere near as vicious since Stall
ms death as it generally was befOre-cOm-
paratively speaking, it has become mild.
The Iron Curtain is about as opaque as
anything can be and a discussion of what
may be going on behind it must lean heavily
on speculation. But belief grows that the
death OF Stain involved much more than a
transfer OF absolute power from one man to
another. The position of Malenk0v does not
seem at all comparable to that of his prede-
,cessor. He is not deifed to anywhere near
the same extent by the Soviet press. He
shares power with Beria, head of the huge
secret police organization, and with the mar
shalS who command the red army. Indeed.
some long-experienced observers are saying
that the balance of power in Russia today
may be IN the hands of the army chiefs,
some of whom are known to feel that Russia
is not equipped to win world war
Zoo, recent developments in atomic wea-
pons on our side of the fence may have made
strong impression in Kremlin circles. Such
a device as the atomic artillery shell, which
is relatively small and light, vet enormously
destructive, adds new and appalling risks to
war The horrors that another major war
would bring to all are almost unimaginable.
In the meantime, the Eisenhower Admin
lstratl0n stands on five clear, basic precepts
which the President put in these words in
his speech to the American Society of News
paper Editors
First. No people on earth can be held
as peOple-tO be an enemy, for all human
ity shares the common hunger for peace and
fellowship and justice
Second. No nations security and we'll
being can be lastingly achieved in isolation.
but only in effective cooperation with fellow
nations.
Third. Any nations right to form of
government and an economic system of its
own choosing is inalienaSle.
Fourth Any nations attempt to die
tate to other nations their form of govern
ment is indefensible.
Fifth. a nations hope Of lasting peace
cannot be firmly based upon anv race in
armaments, but rather upon lust relations
and honest understanding with all other
nations"
