thorough fire detection and preveu-
ton set-up-inclUding a new alarm
and control panel system, fire walls
in the barns and other forces aug
menting previous features-as re-
vealed by President Donald P.
Ross and General Manager Bryan
Field.
This new announcement follows
closely that whereby Delaware
Park completed an extensive prof.
ect to avoid fire by getting grooms
out of the stables. Now comes the
news of such actions as:
l. Segregation by segments in
the barns: Fire walls made of
cement block have been construct
ed in each barn. The fire walls ex-
tend through the roof and will
prevent fire from spreading to
another segment on either side. A
typical 60-stall barn has two fire
walls to separate the stalls into
three segments of 20 stalls each,
10 on a side. This also enables
firemen to concentrate on and con-
fine a blaze to a single smaller
area. All barns, small or large,
have been segmented.
2. A new automatic fire alarm
system in the grandstand, connect
ed by a direct line alarm to the
nearby Newport fire department.
(In addition, fire departments of
nearby Elsmere, MarshalltOn and
Christiana also are available if
needed) A control panel automa-

Reform Clergyman Hopes STA Will
Solve Arab Refugee Problem

Discussing the question of the
Arab refugees, DR.. Ira Eisen-
drath insisted that "It is one of
the most callous chapters in the
story of international intrigue.
The Arabs left Israel, beguiled by
the assurances of their own lead
ers that they would return imme-
diately after the Israelis had been
driven into the sea- For Israel to
readmit the refugees, while vir-
tual state of hostility exists be-
tween herself and her neighbors,
would be to erase all security
measures. The Arab states, how
ever, have not lifted a finger to
alleviate the plight of their own
brethren. They have not invited

them into their vast, underpopu-
lated dominions. They have not
expended their huge, oily funds
to assist them. They have aban-
doned them and then have walled
to the world that the Israelis were
cruel and inhuman. Just as we
are today shocked by the refusal
of the Soviet regime to accept
American food for hungry Ber-
liners, so must we be shocked by
the refusal of the Arab nations to
provide shelter for their own
people. Israel, on the other hand,
has again and again offered to
negotiate the matter and, more,
has offered restitution to the Arab
refugees. For a long time Arab
leaders forbade the refugees even
to accept Israeli help, but they
we're beginning to do so just about
the time left Israel"
DR.. Eisendrath expressed the
hope that Americans would not
mistake the real nature of the Is
rael problem. Israel is not only
safeguarding Jews, but the cause
of democracy. It's preservation is
as vital as the preservation of
South Korea. It's fall would be as
catastrophe as the fall of Greece,
Turkey, or Italy"

Duty Is to Further
Unity of Our Nations

Under Comrade Stains
leadership, our party has
overcome the economic and
cultural backwardness of a
people who were formerly OPP
pressed by uniting into one
brotherly family all the ma
tionalities of the Soviet Union
and forging friendship among
nations. Our sacred duty is to
strengthen and further the
unity and friendship of the
nations Of the Soviet Union
and to strengthen the Soviet
multi-national state and
friendship among the peoples
of our country. We are not
afraid of any internal or ex-
ternal enemies. Under the
direct leadership of Comrade
Stain, the Soviet army was
created and strengthened.
The strengthening of the de-
fensive power of the country
and the consolidation of the
Soviet armed forces were the
untiring concern of Comrade
Stain. Headed by it's great
military leader, Generalissimo
Stain. the Soviet army won q
historic victory during the
Second World War and deliv-
cred the peoples of Europe and
Asia from the threat of fascist
slavery. Our sacred duty is
to strengthen by every means
the mighty Soviet armed
forces. We must keep them
in a state of fighting prepared
ness for a crushing rebuff to
any attack of any enemy.

We Must Consolidate
Our Ties With China

We must in every way con-
solidate the eternal, indestruct-
ible and fraternal friendship
of the Soviet Union with the
great Chinese people and with
the workers in all countries of
the Peoples Democracy.
The peoples of all lands
know Comrade Stain as the
great ensign of peace. Com
rade Stain directed the SUI
preme force of his genius
toward the preservation of
peace for the peoples of all
countries.
The foreign policy of the
Soviet state, a policy of peace
and friendship between peo-
pies. forms a shattering barrier
to the unleashing of a new
war and is in conformity with
the vital interests of all people.
The Soviet Union has invari-
ably been championing the de-
Tense of the cause of peace for
its interests are inseparable
from the cause of peace the
world over.
The Soviet Union has Waged
and is Waging a consistent
policy for the preservation and
Sterilization of peace. a policy
of struggle against the prepa-
ration and unleashing of a new
war policy, a policy of inter-
national cooperation and de-
velopment of business relations
with all countries. a policy
based on the Lenin- Stain
premise of the possibility of
the prolonged co-eXistence and
peaceful competition of two
different systems. capitalist
and Socialist.
Stain educated us in the
spirit of boundlessly loyal
service to the interests of the
people. We are the true SER
wants of the people, and the
people want peace and hate
war. May it come to pass, the
wish. sacred to all of us, of
people to prevent the spilling
of blood of millions of people
and to ensure peaceful con-
struction of a happy life.
In the sphere of foreign
policy, our main care consists
IN not permitting new war
and in living in peace with all
countries. The Communist

Main Job Is to Better
Our Material Welfare

In the internal sphere, our
main task is ceaselessly to
strive for further improvement
in the material welfare of the
workers, the collective farm
ers. the intelligentsia and all
the Soviet people. 1t is a law
for our party and government
TO implement the duty of
ceaselessly striving for The
good of the people for the
maximum satisfaction CT it's
material and cultural needs.
Lenin and Stain created and
tempered our party as a great
Transforming force of society.
Comrade Stain taught all his
life that there is nothing
higher than the title of men,
Der of the Communist Party.
In a stubborn struggle
against enemies, Comrade
Stain defended the monolith-
ic unity of the ranks of our
party. It is our sacred duty
to preserve this spirit so as to
be able further to strengthen
the great Communist Party.
The strength and invincibility
of our party lies in the unity
and close rallying together of
its ranks, in the unity of the
will and the actions. in the
ability of party members to
merge theft wills in the will
and wishes of the party. The
strength and invincibility of
our party lies in its close ties
with the masses of the people.
The unity of the party and
the people is based on the
party's constant service to the
interests of the people. We
must treasure the unity of the
party as the pupil of our eye.
We must strengthen further
the unbreaKab1e bonds be-
tween the party and people
and train the Communists and
all working people in the spirit
of high political vigilance. of
intolerance and firmness in
the struggle against internal,
inner and the foreign enemies.
Under the leadership of the
great Stain, a mighty camp
OF peace. democracy and So
cialism has been set up. In
that camp. in close fraternal
unity with the Soviet people,
march the great Chinese peo-
pie. the fraternal peoples Of
