NEW YORK -(GLOBALl Ev-

Jackie Jackie's personality Is
such that he inspires very def

or some very common causes OF
coming when these accident and
sickness policies will be compelled
by law to state in large type when
they DO NOT cover. In the mean
time I beg that all my friends read
their policies. If these policies do
not cover every reasonable hazard
which you can think of, get covered.
For instance, if your wife should
put a persons eye out with an open
umbrella, are you insured against
its costing you $4,000?
Get Letter From Your Agent
Your insurance agent wants to be
one Of your best friends. He is
truly interested in your welfare.
Tell him you want everything
covered and get a letter from him
stating that everything, unless he
mentions it in this letter to is
covered. One other thought. In most
states only perfectly sound in
surance companies are allowed to
operate; but this is not true in All
states. Furthermore, some unscru-
pulous companies get around the
law by operating by mail from a
careless state.
You cannot be expected to study
the financial strength Of each COM
pany; but you can insist upon
selecting only WeH-knOWn com
panies which have been in business
long time. Any company which
has advertised consistently in your
local paper should be safe. This is
good test. especially If the adj
vertisement reads that the company
has been approved by the Insurance
Commissions Of an the leading
states.

Dear Friends:
Last week was telling you about
Hayes going to the hospital ia
RaWlins, Wyoming. When we were
in Sacramento Hayes complained
Of a sore throat for several morn
ings, but we figured it would get
better each day. ! guess the desert
dust must have irritated it more
and the morning we arrived fin
RaWlins it was really bad and al
seven A. NJ. he reported to the hos
pital to see what they said about ii.
The doctor on duty there questioned
Hayes as to the amount Of time he
could spend in the hospital. Hayes
had an abscessed place in his throat
and 1t required lancing and he
should stay over night in their hos
pital. Hayes explained that he was
in the service and that a day In a
civilian hospital was impossible
since duty called" at Forbes Air
Force Base. He was given a big
dose Of penicillin and streptomysin
and was advised to go to the clinic
at his home base as soon as he ar
rived back to Topeka. Immediately
he felt better and / did, too, know
ing what was causing his severe
sore throat.
While Hayes was in the hospital
the children and our Boston Bull
"Sambo', played outside In the
leaves that. had fallen on the
ground. It was the first yellow fall
leaves any of as had seen this year
and they were certainly lovely.
Lynne said they reminded her Of
Grandmother ToWnsends street
and you all know how lovely the
leaves are on Lake Avenue in the
fall.
In Sinclair, Wyoming, we saw the
refining company that gave the
town its name. Also near here we
saw antelope being brought out of
an ice house, probably on it's way
TO the rancher's home food locker.
rms is antelope country, but the
only one we saw was frozen stiff
Going through Cheyenne, WyOm-
ing, we were reminded of Melva
Jane Bradford who was stationed
here as a WAF at Fort Francis d
Warren last year. When we crossed
the Nebraska border we felt like
we We're near home. Four years
ago before Hayes was in the service
never would have felt at home
IN the midwest. Time surely
changes things. Just east of kim
pail, Neb., we passed a Delaware
car and / waved frantically at them
Just as I always do. Didn't recog-
nize the occupants but perhaps
you might know them. They were

benefit Of this advice.
But we think Mr.. Shakespeare
would be impressed with Eve Arden
now starting her third year in TV
after six years in radio, as the
nigh school English teacher. Connie
Brooks. BY her own confession. this
rule has caused Miss Arden to study
school teachers, to think abont
them, both as they are supposed Ia
De and as they really are. The
teacher, she says, is not the tired,
crabby, old maid of the cartoon
world, but "a warm, romance
minded, realistic and attractive
woman"
Floods of mail from teachers all
over the country have assured her
she is right. In fact, Our Miss
Brooks" was singled out for special
praise at a recent dinner of Los
angeles schOOlmen, when DR.. Alex
ander Stoddart, the city's superin-
tendent Of schools declared that
Miss Arden has done more for edu-
cation and teachers morale than
any single individual working as a
supervisor or educator.
In fact, it now appears the
teachers are holding the mirror up
to Miss Arden-and it's getting to
be more fun to go to school than
to play hOoky.
When VacatiOn-time came around.
we always used to chant with
fervor): mo more pencils, no more
books; no more teachers sassy
looks!" The pencils and the books
are still there but something
seems to have happened to the
sassy looks"
And if teachers really are like
Connie Brooks, we were certainly
born thirty years Cor SOY too soon.

The Truth Hurts-BOth Parties
In Harrisburg, Pa, the other

ular head Of the Democratic Party

tion with some unpleasant truths,
and took advantage Of his presence
in one of the great cOal-mining
states to hang Pennsylvania

Eisenh0wer's neck like an albatross.

REAPPRAISAL OF OUR FOREIGN
POLICY is NECESSARY

Some months ago, it will be recalled.
secretary Dulles said that this country
might be forced to make an "ag0nizing re-
appraisal" Of its foreign policy but that he
hoped this would not happen. Now it has
happened and it is obvious that the lagoon
ling reappraisaf is underway.
The GROWING blow, of course was
Frances refusal to join the European De-
tense Community. That, to all intents and
purposes, means the end of EDC-and for
more than three years edo has been a cor
nerstone Of American ti-COmmunist STRAIT
egy. One irony here is that EDO was a
French concept IN the first place, and that
s was vigorously supported by former
French Premiers and other top officials But
natlonalIstic feeling seems to be running
strong IN France these days. The idea of
French soldiers serving along side of Ger
man soldiers in a supernatural army is, OBJ
viously, extremely distasteful to the major
lty OF the French people. And fear of a re-
surgent Germany fear forged in two
wars IN which France sustained human and
material destruction on a CHASTITY scale
dominates French thinking. There Is another
irony ID this-fOr, edo or no edo. it is
perfectly plain that German rearmament is
IS certain as anything can be in this chao-
nc world. But that didn't change the French
attitude
Il IS said that Britain could have saved
LDD. But she would not give military forces
% q even though she approved the idea. 1t
IS also said that French communists and fell
lOW-travelers killed edo But the fact re-
MAINS Lnat French leaders, who are as pas
slonately opposed to Communism as anyone
were against the plan. The death of EDO was
certainly a victory for Communism, but. lust
as certainly, It was not achieved by the Com
munists.
What has happened is that u. S. leader
snip OF the West is no longer anywhere near
as potent as 1t was. In England and in Eu-
rope there IS very real fear that we have
been too aggressive, and that other policies
promise better chance of avoiding a third
world war of incalculable horror. u. s.
News and World Report probably described
ne situation accurately when it said.
Friends and allies of the III. S. are going in

whether the y. S. likes it or not" To MANY
Americans, this course amounts to possible
national suicide for the nations involved. But

The situation is further complicated
from our point of view, by the fact that the

american West German government. AS
