Fire Prevention
Week Extends
To Woods Fires

This week has been proclaimed
as Fire Prevention Week. Care
lessness with fire damages homes
and property. Fire destroys mil
lions of board feet of timber every
year. You can help prevent this
destruction. Remember-only you
can prevent woods fires.
Take proper precautions before
burning trash, fields and hedge
rows. Don't burn during hot, dry
and windy weather. Obey the burn
ing law and don't start your fires
before 400 pm. One third of the
frest fires in Maryland are caused
by careless and thoughtless burn
ing operations.
Carless smoker are believed to
cause up to half of the woods fires.
Be sure your match is out before
tossing it away and crush out your
cigarette or cigar whenever smok-
mo- in the woods.
The period from now until De-
cember 18th is Fall Fire Season
in Maryland. The lack of rain has
created extremely dangerous con-
ditions in the woods. The dry for
est floor is explosive in character
and given a little headway fire
will spread very rapidly. These
conditions make fire suppression
difficult.
This week many hunters have
token to the woods with the start
of the hunting season. Each year
careless hunters cause many woods
fires. Woodlands should be used
not abused! Enjoy the woods and
leave them in the same condition
as you found them. Follow these
four simple rules:
1. Hold your match until it's cold,
then break it to make sure.
2. Crush out your cigarette, Gig
ar, pine ashes. Use an ash tray.
3. Drown your camp fire, then
stir and drown it again.
a. Be careful with any fire.
Help Smokey keep forrest fires
from starting. Contact your local
Forest Guard or the District For
roster at Laurel and ask about the
law before burning brush or trash.

This year, according to the Ma

the toll may be even worse.
Blame for 80 per cent of those
fires is put on the individual-you
the person whose carlessness

Because II per cent of all build

Gus because of the danger of spon-

Chimneys should be regularly
examined for defects which might
cause fires, the most obvious of
which are cracks and stovepipe
openings which are not properly
closed. Such defects may allow
gases to escape into the building

Arthur Dean Will
 Represent U. s. In Panmunjom Talks

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary of State Dulles announced Tues day that a United States represen- tative will leave today for Pan munjom to negotiate with the Communists on arrangements for a Korea political conference even though this country disagrees with some Red proposals for the Pan- munjom talks.
 The Panmunjom discussions are scheduled to get underway tomor- row. The US. representative will be Arthur Dean, a special assistant to Dulles.
 Dulles told a news conference the American government consid- CTS that the question of what na- tions should attend Korean poi- tical conference has already been decided by the United Nations.
 But, he observed, if the Reds who want to include neutrals - bring up the subject at Panmun- jom, the United States cannot pre- vent their doing so.
 Dulles returned only Monday from a Big Three foreign minis ters meeting at London which re- viewed the problems of Korea, Trieste, Germany-Autria and oth- CT troubled spots.
 He spent an hour at the White House Tuesday morning, report ing to President Eisenhower, and later met with neWsmen.

Gene Sampson Bolts ILA To Join AFL

NEW YORK, R-John J. (Gene) Sampson, key figure in the record 1851 waterfront strike, has bolted the International Longshoremen's Assn. to join the American Feder- ation of Labor.
 Sampson made the move Mon day night at a meeting of ILA Local 791, which controls Hudson River docks in the Chelsea district of Manhattan.
 The meeting was a turbulent one with only 21 men lining up behind Sampson, who had been business agent of the local. Other men at the meeting, variously es- timated at 400 to 900, voted to stay with the ILA.
 It was announced that Sampson will serve as an organizer for the new ILA-AFL, chartered by the AFL after the federation busted the old ILA for failure to purge itself of racketeering elements.

US. Stops Israeli Foreign Aid For Defying JUN.

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary of State Dulles disclosed Tuesday the United States has suspended a 100 million dollar aid program for Israel because he believes the Israeli government is defying a United Nations ruling.
 Dulles said the Eisenhower ad- ministration has decided to defer any aid allocations to Israel until it abides by a JUN. ruling it must stop trying to divert waters from the River Jordan along the Syrian frontier.
 At a news conference, Dulles said the United States believes Israel should expect a decision, or dering a halt to this project, made by Gen. Vagn Bennike, Danish chief of the LIN. truce supervision group along the Palestine frontier.
 The United States is continuing to go forward with smaller amounts of technical aid funds to Israel, he said. But no allocation of the larger grant funds, appro- priated by Congress for the Near or Middle East has been made.
 uo octirootod +bn onoO11pt in volved for Israel was about 100 million dollars. Allocations for Arab governments from foreign aid funds, he indicated, are con- tinuing to go forward. He noted the United States used part of this money for emergency aid to Iran a few months ago.

Help Business And Benefit All, Says
 Secy. of Commerce

TACOMA, R - Secretary of Commerce Weeks, a self-described business agent for busineSs) Mon day night said his department is concentrating much of it's efforts on tax reforms which will help business.
 ''That which helps business helps everybody" he explained "There should be no division be- tween labor and management Both hang from the same limb and if the limb breaks both go down."
 The Eisenhower appointee was rather cloudy, however, in his prediction of business prospects beyond the first half of 1854.
 He said he was optimistic about the first half of next year.
 Speaking before S10O plate dinner for which 494 tickets were purchased by Pierce County Re publicans, Weeks said he regarded himself as "a business agent for business"
 When I help business, I'm helping every mortal in America" ," he said.
 Turning his talk to the recent Democratic victory in Wisconsin's Ninth District election, hailed by Democrats as a repudiation of Agriculture Secretary Benson's farm policies and of the Eisen- hover administration in general, Weeks said it was a definite set back to the COP but fortunately came at an opportune time"
 If we had to have a warning that our course in some field might need revision, it was good to get it now," he said. we will have a year to work on 1t"
 Weeks praised the Eisenhower administration for it's efforts in trying to effect economy in gov ernment, saying:
 "All is not quiet along the Po- tOmac. You can hear the sound of pruning sheers trimming the budget almost any day"

3O-Mile Error.
The Clio which disappeared
en- route to Kodiak was picked
up twice on ground radarscopes.
The plane was headed for peaks
towering 5000 feet above its
flight path. The radio operator
on that plane reported it was
over a certain point when the
radar showed it actually was
missing that point by 80 miles.
The House members questioned
Gen. Ramey as to why the pilot
could not have been warned ia

replied. "They only showed
some plane off course. The
tower had been informed that
particular Clio was on course.

'In Alaska" he said, "bush
pilots fly all over the place. They
