guess" he remarked today. "this
is the only place in the world
where trillion dollars means
anything"
OF course. the national debt
has never attained the trillion
figure. DR.. Dolan has reached
the astronomical total by retir-
ing bonds and other securities
as they are paid of, then retiring
those issued to replace them, and
so on as the debt is rolled over. !"
His job is to cancel matured
securities, to audit the public
debt and to certify to the con-
troller general the correctness
of the transactions and reports
involved.
One Of Last New Dealers.
DR.. Dolan, who was "for
Franklin D. Roosevelt before
Chicago" in 1882, is one of the
few New Dealers left. In fact;
he said he knows Of no other Of

He submitted his resignation
to President Eisenhower on In,
auguration Day. It has just
been accepted. At that, DR.. DOL
an has served the second long
est term as Register in history,
almost Is years. The first reg
lister, John B. Nourse, took Office
with Secretary of the Treasury
Alexander Hamilton at the Gov
ernment's start and served more
than 20 years.
The Register has a staff of
about 5000. Part of the work
is done at branches and field
offices. the rest in the old red
brick building at Fourteenth
and Independence avenue.
Under the law, a Cancelled Sc
curity has to be held five years.
Then it is burned. But records
of every item are kept.

In fact. the records go back
even farther. They cover those

It requires no clairvoyance to

A number Of responsible

realize that the truce we are
seeking so anxiouSly may be
one Of the most gigantic
hoaxes in history. Some APP
preciate now the validity Of
the South Korean reasoning
that we should demand the
withdrawal of the Chinese
across the Yalu River as a
price for an armistice. The
latest breach of faith by the
Chinese in the recent offensive
fully justif1es such a demand.
Unfortunately. those mem
bers of the U. N. who have
provided either a small con-
tingent of fighting forces, such
as Britain and France. or only
a field ambulance unit-al-
ready withdrawn-such as In
dia. insist that we accept the
armistice at any price. They
want to liquidate the Korean
situation. regardless of the
consequences to the South
Korean Republic, and for that
matter to the United States.
The recent Chinese offensive
created a painful" impression
among these token particle
pants" in the Korean war. But
any mild hint that we either
receive binding assurances that
the cease-f1re will not be
broken by the Chinese and
Muscovites or force the enemy
to abandon the Korean terri
tory is being rejected by our
silent partners.

Soviet Union Signs
Several New Pacts
In Bid for Trade
BY the Assoeicied Press

LONDON. July 18.-The Soviet
Union-with new trade pacts
signed with France, Denmark
and other Western European
nations-appeared today to have
launched in earnest her long
expected trade offensive.
The trade maneuverS-part Of
the entire peace offensive-are
believed aimed at relieving the
economic ills of the FESTIVE
satellite nations now seething
over lack of consumer goods.
They are also obviously part of
the Kremlin's plan to WOO West
ern nations from economic and
military ties with the United
States. .....
The French and Soviet gov
ernments announced yesterday
they have signed a three-year
commercial pact - their first
since 1884. It calls for an ex-
change of IL billion francs 1884,
285,760 worth of goods in the
next year.

Copenhagen announced Den

are part of a new Soviet-Danish

which Denmark provides indus
trial machinery and foodstuffs in
return for such Russian goods as
wheat, cotton, iron ore and as
beStos. Previously the Russians
announced they signed 1853
trade pact with Sweden.
The British Board of Trade
announced yesterday the Rus
slams have dumped 10000 ounces
OF platinum on the London bull
lion market and that good part
Of it already has been snapped
up. A board spokesman said
Russia has also offered to sell
Britain manganese and chrome
ores-two strategic metals used
to tougher steel.
Trade talks are going on be-
tween Soviet agents and British
grain brokers under which Bri-
tain may buy 612 million tons
Of wheat. British traders also
are expected to buy large guam
titles of Russian timber in the
next few months.
Blacklisted Items Excluded.
The French pact grew out Of
the East-West trade conference
at Geneva sponsored by the
United Nations Economic Com
mission for Europe. The treaty
excludes items on the BLACK
list" Of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. These are
largely raw or finished products
vital to the economy of the West

10 Fires Reported
During January

The pleasant springlike weather
we have been enjoying in
Holmes County the past few
weeks has been accentuated by
the increased fire occurance in
the county, according to Bill Glib
son, forester.
During January 70 fires were
checked and of this total 16 were
fought by Holmes County fire
crews. This month over 70 fires
have been checked to date. About
80 per cent of thes fires have
been caused by debris-burning.
Although we have received
some rain this winter it is not
comparable to the amount receiv-
ed IN past years. Many areas in
the Delta that are normally I'M
der water at this time are still
very dry. In the hills the lower
ing of the fire danger by morn
ing rain can be nullified by the
high winds and bright sun that
afternoon.
For these reasons and to pre-
vent repetition of last falls
fire damage everyone is urged to
use the utmost caution when
burning their fields.
I If the landowner will use the
Following rules when burning his
fields there will be little chance
for the fire to escape control.
1. Plow or rake fire line a
round area to be burned.
2, Never burn on dry or
