progress was slow, at best, the Mayer and
Adenauer statements put definite crimp
into plans to form West European Army,
with German units, anytime soon.
The failure to incorporate German d.
visions into West Europe's NATO army is
major failure for the NATO powers and
a major victory for Russia. The new Presi-
dent, Dwight D. Eisenhower, realizes the
vital role which German troops would play
in the NATO plan and said, some time ago,
that this problem was the most pressing
facing the Allies. However, Western Euro
pean nations are still undecided about the
addition of Germany into the anti Com
munist front in Europe. In addition, the
Germans are haggling among themselves.
The Mayer and Adenauer retreats this
month pushed the prospect of an early
agreement even further into the background
and are discouraging to Americans, who
have shelled out considerable sums Of
money in postwar years to help West
Europe build up defense against Commu-
mist aggression. At present, the major prob
lem facing European defense is the ia
ability Of the European countries them
selves to agree on a sound defense plan.

of the Department of Internal Revenue has
been hailed with enthusiasm. Mr.. Andrews
served Virginia we'll by reorganizing the
fiscal machinery when he was State Audi
tor. He served on the Hoover commission in
its study of government reorganization.
His integrity as public official and his
record as an accountant restore public con-
fidence in the important Internal Revenue
department. Proven and unproven charges
against high officials in this department
during the Truman administration shook
public confidence in governmental func-
ton which should be beyond question in
integrity.
We are glad Mr. Eisenhower chose a
Eirginian and believe he made a wise choice
in T. Coleman Andrews. The more we learn
of the president-elect's appointments our
confidence in his ability increases.

French NATO Block

THE new French Premier Rene Nav
er, comes to power in Paris with the
backing of General Charles de Gaulle. who
opposes the European army project as ten
tatlvely agreed upon by European powers.
The evolution of this new government in
France definitely puts a damper on hopes
that the European Army Treaty would be
speedily executed.
Shortly after his appointment, Premier
Mayer announced that he would negotiate
for additional protocols to maintain the
unity and integrity Of the army and of the
French Union. This was taken to mean that
Mayer was inclined to the De Gaule DO
sition of national armies for both France
and Germany. instead Of units subordinated
in NATO Army, as has been talked for
the last two years.
One of the effects of Mayors ascension
was the announcement by German Chancel-
lor Konrad Adenauer that he now con-
Ndered changes in the original combined
army plan desirable. This seemed to be
concession by Adenauer to nationalist units
in Germany who were pressing for more
nationalist arrangements in the NATO de-
Tense program. Coming at time when

Childhood Days and Scenes

AS | m nearing the end of ifes journey
AND my future is shroudeG in mist
recall dear scenes from my childhood days
Which far down in my mind still exist
Joyful thoughts of those days still encircle
My heart in tender embrace
And the light from their shrneS deeply hidden,
Reflects JOY from the past on my face
Quite often find myself dreaming
Of those moments too lovely to last
And each one in my heart still fingers
AS it throbs to the pulse of days past
Ere temptation and wickedness made me
sharer of sorrow and sin
When God glory made brighter my pathway
And it filled me with gladness within.
| hope when my life here is ended
And I'm dwelling or Gods promised shore
That the JOY knew in childhood DAYS
Will remain with me forevermore
think that my soul would long for them
And that even in Heaven Id be
Lonesome at times for these childhood scenes
Were they erased from my memory

Ike's First Team


ORESIDENT-ELECT EISENHOWER has
chosen wisely in making appointments
to many important positions. Cabinet APP
pointees have met with general approval.
Each is a man of high standing in business
and experience. The mere fact that Mr.
Eisenhower can surround himself with men
of such high caliber augers we'll for the
future. Certainly his team is under consid-
cradle pressure to make good. and American
business, from which most Of the members
have come, is equally responsible for its
success. The voters called for a business ad-
ministration guided by business men. Mr.
Eisenhower has caught the spirit and
Americas finest men have agreed to serve
with him. A failure would be notable dis

free enterprise.

1852.
Because of declining export of farm
products and continuing high production
totals. the new Administration may be fac
ed with the problem Of surpluses in 1858.
The prospect of surpluses is blamed by
some farmers for declining prices.
In this connection. Southern cotton
farmers and Western wheat interests are
sure to plug for continuation of the ninety
per cent parity price support on the So
called basic commodities. Basic commodi-
ties, which have long enjoyed this support
level, are corn, wheat, cotton, peanuts and
tobacco. Northeasterners and Midwestern
farm groups will probably favor flexible
price supports which operate on the supply
anddemand theory.
The new Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Benson, Utah, may have two years in which
to work out a new support program. The
82nd Congress extended rigid support poll
cies through 1854 and the 83rd Congress
appears content to stand on this until next
year. when a new agricultural bill could be
worked out, to take effect in 1855.

If you think back a few weeks. to 1852
you may recall in that year the coun-
try experienced the largest polio epidemic
in its history. More than $4,000 people were
struck down by the disease total which
exceeds highway fatalities by many thous-
ands.
1t is true that in 1882 Also a vaccine
was tentatively approved, which seems to
immunize most of those who are given the
serum However, there is only limited sup
ply of the immunization and residents in
most areas of the country cannot expect to
see this new weapon used against polio in
their communities soon.

Weather Vane

A good economic weather vane can be
found in fortunes or misfortunes of
agriculture. First changes are generally
noted in the prices of farm commodities
AS yet there is no indication that prices
will go tumbling downward A decrease in
farm prices of four per cent is indicative of
q leveling off rather than a downward
trend.
Figures recently released show that
farmers wound up the year 1852 with about
the same net income as they earned in 1851
although higher operating costs kept pro-
fits below those of 1851. A price decline
which started in June, was clearly notice
able at the end of the year and was esti-
mated at four per cent decline by Deem
Der.
Only two crops-oranges and rice =
were record crops in 1852, although several
crops approach all-time records. Corn and
winter wheat were the second largest crops
in L.. S. history. The soybean crop was also
near record. Cattle increased during the
year to record number of 90 600 900 head
