Trieste

There were sparks in Europe's
traditional powder keg" - the
BalkanS-last week, but there ap-
peared to be little likelihood that
an explosion would result.
The trouble spot was the Free
Territory of Trieste-a strip of
land to 10 miles wide around
the city of Trieste, a port at the
northern end of the Adriatic where
Italy and Yugoslavla meet. The
area was part of the Austro-H Hun
garian Empire before World War l..
1t was given to Italy between wars
and then after World War II was
declared a free territory, half of
it administered jointly by the
United States and Britain, the
other half by Yugoslavia.
Both Italy and Yugoslavia want
to be the owner.
The West would like to keep both
sides happy. Italy is a member of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation whose contribution could be
expected to fall off markedly if
an unpalatable Trieste solution
were forced on it. Yugoslavia, on
the other hand, is a show place of
independent communism, rare
bird which the West wants to
make feel at home OUTSIDE the Mos
COW orbit.
Sabre RottIing
Last week both Italy and Yugo-
slavia were accusing each other of
rattling the sabre over Trieste and
threatening the peace.
1t started when a semiof1cial
Yugoslav news agency limited that
since Italy had refused to give in
on the Trieste question, Yugoslavia
would have to alter her own rea-
sonable attitude. The Italian press
cried that Tito was threatening to
annex by force the portion of Tri-
este he was administering. And

State of Siege

Washington-and the rest of the
EaSt-dug in for siege as last
week began. There had been not
a drop of rain here since August
1.-THE day after the cold front
arrived. Plants and lawns wilted;
so did people.
AS the siege continued, it was
obvious that the area was in the
grip of a lot of unpleasant super
latives:
. Such prolonged hot spell, so
late in the summer, was unprece-
dented.
Q All-time high temperature rec
ords were exceeded five times and
equalled once in a period of six
consecutive days from August 20
to September 3. One of the rec
ords that toppled-a 95 on Sep
tember 3-had survived 54 sum-
mers since it's establishment in
1898.
. An excess of 120 degrees over
normal maximums was piled up at
the height of the heat wave in
single week. Last Wednesday, the
high temperature was 10 degrees
above the normal reading of 81
degrees.
Reaction
Contrary to what Mark Twain
said, people were not only talking
about the weather, they were try
ing to do something about it. The
more fortunate ones, like Presi-'

Cold War


~ went to the American Legion
convention at st. Louis last week
to explain some of the finer points
of American foreign policy to the
frolicking legionnaires and to re-
peat some warnings to the Com
muniStS.
Mrs Dulles opened the speech
with a background story. Before
Korea, he said, the Communists
did not believe the United States
would fight if a grab was made for
South Korea (Secretary Of State
Acheson had made a speech inter-
preted as leaving South Korea out
side our defense perimeter). So,
believing they would be safe in
their aggression, Mr.. Dulles con-
tinued, the Reds struck.
If they had known what lay in
store for them, the Secretary said,
the Communists would never have
attacked. So it is always with
aggressors, he said: They attack
when they think they can get away
with it.
The way to deter aggression, he
concluded, is to warn the aggres-
sors in advance in each instance
where an attack seems imminent.
Two Coses
Mr.. Dulles went on to apply this
principle to two specific cases
today:
First, Korea. If Communist ag-
greSsion is renewed, he said, the 16
nations which fought in Korea
would again be united and prompt
to resist. q. The Communists y. .
now know that they could no
longer count on this privileged
sanctuary lin Manchuria)."
Second, Tndo-C China Mr.. Dulles
said: Communist China has been
and now is training, equipping and
supplying the Communist forces
in Indo- China. There is the risk
that, as in Korea, Red China might
send its own army into Indo- China
The Chinese Communist regime
should realize that such a second
aggression could not occur with
out grave consequences which
might not be confined to Indo-
China"
So the Communists were, in
effect, warned that any aggression
in either Indo-C China or Korea
would mean war. 1t was an old
warming, but put as firmly this
time as ooSsible-perhapS a little
too firmly in the case of Korea.
Britain in particular has made it
clear that she does not feel COM
mitted by the 16-nation agreement
to join automatically in any new
fighting in Korea. britain fears
that Syngman Rhee may deliber-
ately set off further hoStilities.)
Nor is she committed, if she does
go back in to fight, to war on
the Chinese mainland.
And there was the difficulty in
Indo-China of determining where
we should draw the line. China
already is aiding the Wet Mini
rebels How much further aid
should be the signal for us to
fight?
What about other hotspots? Mr..
Dulles declined after his speech
to draw defense perimeter" for
the United States. But the impl-
cation from his speech and from
long-standing United States policy
is that the Communists could con-
slider themselves warned that any

the audience was seemingly well
pleased and there were some ex-
pressions of conhdesce that this

Mrs. E1nora White Medley was

The new president took over
his job like veteran, with cour-
tesy and dignity. He asked the
retiring clerk Mrs. Nicely if she
would like to make a statement
She accepted and stated that she
was glad Of the opportunity to
say that she had served the peo-
pie of the village for four years
and she did it to the best of her
ability.
The president then asked the
new officers if they wished to
make statements. Each one &C
cepted and made acceptance ad-

was that they would give the job

faithful to their trust. They also
thanked the voters for the sup

to urge the average girl to battle

preached too often.
The writer is mature woman
who meets the female, teen-aged
public in suburban dress shop.
What can be DONE" she asks,
about these youngsters of IA or
IS who just literally aren't clean?
we are appal1 e d in the fitting
rooms to see griny necks, dingy
backs and arms. Their under
things could be fresher too.
This certainly is not true Of
all our girls" she adds, cor may
be not even of the majority. It's
just that the guilty ones are so
conspicuous.
"And their hands! I hear in
other departments of merchan-
dise-white gloves and hats par
ticularly - badly damaged by
dirty finger marks. These girls
would be lot more attractive if
they were clean from the skin out
and I'll bet they would have
lot more self-respect."
Certainly the picture is not a
pretty one, altho only small
percentage of teen-agers go thru
such a lay stage. 1t can be avoid

ards of cleanliness are required at

and nurses can recommend, but
My parents can insist upon good

INSECTS?

MRS. A. H. A., Washington
For the lady who asked about
centipedes: Loathing all bugs
except butterflies and lady
birds, you have my heartfelt
sympathy. However, when l
:, looked in my household book,
1 discovered that they are
harmless and even keep down
other household pests to some
extent. So if you can bear
them (Which I couldn'D they
will not hurt you. If spraying
doesn't help, I suppose they
belong to a new generation
which has become immune to
DDT. Have you tried ordinary
moth-proofing spray? So far
I have found this effective
against almost everything.
Now 1 have a somewhat
similar request to make. In
my cellar there are several
fearful looking hopping crea-
lures. At first I thought they
were spiders. some new sort
which I didn't know about
My son called them hop
SPIDERS" until he caught one
which was leaping around
(and so. I confess, was u up
stairs. 1t is now in a jar. 1T
looks like a fat brown grass
hopper, with legs all around
it, and two powerful legs at
the back to jump with. AS one
of my sons young friends put
it. 1T looks as if it came from
another world" So, being very
space-minded at the moment,
we call it the Martian. 1t also
has a very long sting. or what
looks like a sting. Like the
lady with the centipedes,
spraying does not seem to
help, but I haven't yet tried
the moth-proofing spray.
If any one knows what these
large (Well over an inch long,
insects are, and if they do in
deed sting, I'd be most CRATE
full to know. They look sim
ister in the extreme, and their
habit of hopping suddenly is,
to me, terrifying.

FRAMING PASTELS.
MRS. C. T., LGphGnt)

Some time, ago, a reader
asked for advice about framing
a pastel or charcoal drawing.
Both paStelS and charcoal
drawings should be preserved
by spraying with 'fixatiye" ap-
piled in a fine spray from an
atomizer. These can be pur-
chased from an art supply
store or they might spray it
for you for a small charge.
The drawing is then mounted
in a cardboard mat unless it
is very large and you decide to
frame it without a mat. 1t
must be framed with glass over
it for protection. Nothing
will prevent the paper from
yellowing with age. 1t should
be framed as soon as possible
since the particles rub off the
paper very easily and the draw
ings do not last very long un-
framed.
Readers of the RICH who
draw or paint as hobby will
be interested to know that
the local chapter of the ANA
teur Artists Association of
America have resumed their
weekly meetings at the Uni
verSity Park School, located on
Underwood street in University

Your Red Cross

MARCH IS Red Cross month. 1t
is the month when membership in
this great humanitarian organiza-
ton is solicited. Last year more
than 100000 people became Red
Cross members.
The Red Cross is the heart beat
of America. 1t enables all of us to
express the universal desire to help
in time of disaster or trouble.
Last year Red Cross helped $4,000
families who were victims of sudden
catastrophe in As states and Alaska.
Every day blood flows from trans
fusion bottle to a wounded soldier
in Korea, to a mother in childbirth,
to an accident victim. The troubled
man in uniform, the helpless veteran
patient, the serviceman's wife over
whelmed by domestic crisis-all
have understanding friends in the
Red Cross. The office of defense
mobilization has requested the
American Red Cross to assume the
responsibility for the collection of
blood to provide the Gamma Globu-

The bloodmobile with its Red
Cross insignia is familiar to every
one, as it goes to all areas collecting
blood for civilian and defense use.
This month it will be in Roosevelt,
Phillips, Blaine, Hill, Park, Gallatin,
Silver Bow, Lewis and Clark, Mis-
soula, Lake, Flathead, Chouteau,
Cascade and Granite counties. In
eleven of the states counties the
blood collected is used for defense
purposes only, as whole blood direct
to Korea or as plasma or serum
albumen for stockpiling for military
use. These counties have their own
commercial blood banks. In thirty
five counties the blood collected is
used part for military and part to
meet the civilian need in local hos
pitfalls and in our state institutions
at Fort Harrison and Galen.
A total of 1929 units of blood
was collected in Montana during the
past six months, so per cent to be
used in civilian hospitals and so

in picking the six best entries.
Following the judging, the makers
of the six ''high" cakes were mott
fled, and Feb. IA they showed up
at the booth with ingredients and
utensils to bake another cake for
final judging.
