Washington Letter - By Robert Nelson ToYlor
MZ2S2/S7

North Korean slavery under the
Red Chinese, is significant.
1t proves there is a point at which.
even to an American, his own cOun-
try must come first. The admission
OF Red China would be our final and
complete acceptance of defeat be-
fore the world. That the UN could
not survive the blow either, is only
a detail.
LUbricatiOn Needed
AS predicted in these columns a
week ago, the frank plea of Shah
Mohammed Reza Pahlevi for money
from any body has been answered.
Thus, it will hardly be a surprise
to hear any day now that sweating
fellahin are tOting twenty-three and
a half million American dollars into
the Iranian treasury (Which was
so clean we hear it didn't need
sweeping).
President Eisenhower wrote Pre-
mier FazlOllah Zahedi assuring him
or assistance some days ago. And
though the letter did not say what
day the dough would arrive. or how
much there would be, the Premier
decided Immediately to spend ST.
100000 on new schools all over
Iran, to set up 200 new clinics and
to build 1000 workers homes in
Teheran.
Later, Mutual Security Admins
traitor Harold Stassen announced
the amount, so the Premier is no
doubt thinking up some more i'm
provements. But the new finance
minister, DR.. Ali Amini, is a little
faster on his feet. Before the amount
of U. S. economic aid was known,
DIR. Amini estimated Trans needs at
3GO,OO0,000, merely to get the
rusting wheels of the nations in
dustry turning again."
Certainly there's enough oil in
Iran that nothing needs to rust-not
even the hinges on the treasury
doors. But DR.. Amini must know
that unless he let's help in to get
1t out of the ground and to crank
up that huge Iranian refinery at
Abadan, the new administration will
be little better off than Mossy's-
and still trading on its nuisance
value for handouts.
Thus, as we mentioned before,
we hope our British cousins who
were running the industry before
Messy threw them out are getting
over their pOut, and that there's an
understanding between Washington
and London.

Every now and then someone
with nothing better to do heaves
shuddering sigh about the sup
posed evils of the Machine Age.
Dark fears are voiced that mech
anization and assembly-line tech
niques may be erOding away such
sturdy old virtues as self-reliance
and pride of craftsmanship.
We refer these timid souls to the
recent remarks of Harlow II. Cur
tice, president of General Motors.
at the annual Scholarship Award
Banquet of the Fisher Body Crafts
mans Guild in Detroit. The dinner
was in honor of those youngsters
who spent long hours fashioning
model automobiles for the contest
sponsored by GINS Fisher Body
Division.
The Machine Age, Mr.. Curtice
noted, has not abolished the great
need for men who have an abiding
belief in their own ability to do
something better than it has been
done beforehand the plain fortitude
to finish what's been started"
Machines can't design them
selves" he reminded the young
sters. New products cannot design
themselves. Businesses cannot run
themselves. 1t takes men to make
things happen--in industry--in
science-in government"
Whatever fears some aging head
shakers may express, we believe
most of our young people agree with
Mr.. Curtice's cOmmn-sense Obser-
VatiOnS.

BABSON Discusses Protecting Your Family

Gloucester, Mass, Sept. 10. l have
been rather disturbed to meet some
old friends here who have lost their
husbands and are disappointed with
the way his estate has been divided
The husband left no Will. and the
needy heirs did not get the money. It
didn't seem quite fair to leave the
same amount to a son who is in
good financial condition as was left
TO daughter who had polio. have
already urged the the necessity of
everyone making a Will under prO-
per legal advice; but l now also
urge the use of a local bank for
Trust Funds.
Protecting Your Widow
Instead of leaving all or one-third
OF your estate to your wife outright,
leave her portion in Trust with in
structions to this effect: my wife is
to receive the income and also to
receive some of the principal if. in
the Banks opinion, she at any time
needs extra money. When she dies
Ihe Bank Will distribute the remain
ing property to my children" Your
wife would be of advanced age.
She has never bought and sold
securities, collected income from
investments or filled out income tax
returns. By such a Trust the pro-
perty would be managed by an ex-
perienced Trustee. Your widow
would then be happier and safer.
When you die your widow will be
pestered by people who want to
borrow. Some of these may be rela-
tiVes and friends who would be
hard to turn down if the money is
left outright. If, however, the money
is left in Trust, she can honestly
say to these people: 81 am sorry;
but all my money is in Trust, and

HAVE THEY FOUND A TEMPORARY
SOLUTION FOR OUR OVERCROWDED
INSTITUTIONS?

A story which appeared in a Whining
ton newspaper late last week. if true, gives
hope that temporary solution may be found
to the OvercrOwded conditions at Delaware
State Hospital, at Farnhurst; The Welfare
Home, at Smyrna; and the Delaware Colony,
at StOckley Basing our thinking upon the
accuracy of the Wilmington newspaper re-
port, we believe that something can be
worked out so that the abandoned hospital
facilities can be used to relieve conditions
at all three Institutions, partially, at least.
The story above referred to said, in sub
stance, that an abandoned Army hospital
at what is now the Bacon Health Center. is
available for such use It went on to saw
that for the sum of $4,000, money for
which could be made available by transfer
Of funds from the three above named insti
tutiOns, the work of renovation can be COM
pleted.
The newspaper said that, once finished.
this hospital will offer facilities for the hOus
ing OF a Sizable group from each of the three
institutions. We are happy that the building
is available. 1t could aid to some extent in
eliminating the OvercrOwded conditions at
all OF the institutions. We may be sure that
any inmates who are transferred to the reno
waited structure, if placed under the SUPER
vision of DR.. Tarumianz, will be in good
hands. Their welfare will be his first con-
slderatiOn. The possibilities of the advisa-
blllty OF doing this work should be explored
to the fullest. If found feasible work
should be started promptly and finished as
quickly as possible. At first glance it looks
alright.

OVER HALF OF AMERICANS READ
WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS

You may or may not be excited over the
TACT that more than half of all Americans
read weekly newspapers. We arrive at this
statement by starting from the most reliable
base avallable-N. w. Aver and Sons Direc-
tory OF Newspapers and PeriOdicals-which
reports there are 9,782 weekly papers with
an average weekly circulation of 2O,944.O 900.
!heSe are very round figures, which do not
include the readers of more than 75O papers
Whlch 90 not give circulation figures, and
about 45O more with free, or partly free
controlled" circulation.
Thus, while you may be sure there are
far more than twenty-one million American
families depending on the weekly paper for
their window W-On-a-cOckeyed-World, we'll be
ultra-cOnservative. Multiplying the N. W..
Aver figure by four (the average US family
is four plus, and the country family IS
larger) we still come up with 83.776.OOO
readers, which is we'll over half the national
total.
Far more important than the figure.
however, is the fact that it represents not
merely half Of all the people in America.

Luxury Trains
To Cruise Lund
or SunIit Nights

STOCKHOLM.-One Of the
most comfortable ways of seeing
Sweden is the "Sunlit Nights
Land Cruises" the pride of the
Swedish State Railways.
This year five cruises will be
operated, the first one leaving
Stockholm or June Is and the
last July Is.
Leaving Stockholm, the cruise
train makes its first stop at
Upsala, Sweden's old university
town, where old Viking burial
mounds will be seen. Then on to
colorful Dalecarlia, "the Heart
of Sweden" where young and
old still wear their gay folk cos
tunes.
Crossing the Arctic Circle, the
train travels north into Lapland,
to Kiruna, Riksgransen and
Norway'S Narvik. Side trips are
arranged every day, giving op-
portunity to see folk dancing,
timber logging, encampments of
reindeer-herding Lapps, and to
make boat trip through breath
taking ford country.
After eight days, all rich in
new experiences. the cruise train
returns to Stockholm the morn
ing of the ninth day.
Among the features of the
electric train are showers, movie
shows, library, bar, a newspaper
in English printed en- route, and
specially installed sockets where
American electrical appliances
can be plugged in.
