Mushrooming bases in the Phil
ippines are bolstering the United
States defense pattern against
Communism iii Asia.
Not only are American air and
naval facilities growing in this
southern anchor of the Western
Pacific defense chain, but a
strategic supply center is being
developed.
Major Developments.
There have been four major
developments:

been established from the Philip
pines to embattled French and
Wet Namese forces In Indo-
China The flights have included
United States technical person-
mel and equipment.

expanded to service and repair
larger numbers of warships.
4. The United States and Phil
ippines are negotiating for more
improved American bases in the
islands.
The Air Force is tight-1ipped
on the airlift to Indo-C China.

much bigger mission.
Air Base Strengthened.
Clark Field. headquarters of
the 18th Air Force, is being
strengthened. Recently on UNI
disclosed number of swept-wing
F-86 Sabre jets came here from
Korea.

Arkansas Spurns
U. 5. Aid 10 Farmers,
Gets Jobs for Them
o, me Assos,ased Pres.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Feb. 90.
--Arkansans are letting it be
known that they can take care
of their own by Spurning Fed
eral aid for hundreds Of farm
families caught in an unusual
wave of seasonal unemployment.
Within two days. two counties
In East Arkansas have made ar
rangementS to get along without
the outside assistance they
originally sought. Three other
counties with needy have handled
the problem by themselves from
the start.
Poinsett County Judge Sid
Smith said today that organiza-
tions and individuals in Poinsett
County had made plans to pro-
vide jobs for the needy on q
local basis. He asked State Wei
fare Commissioner A. ]. Moss to
remove Poinsett from the list
of counties receiving Federal and
State aid.
Job Opportunities Better.
1--WE have learned that there
are actually more job opportu-
mites at this time than we had
at first realized" Judge Smith
said. Conditions are expected to
improve further with the ap-
proach of spring planting time. !"
Neighboring Craighead County
was the first to change its mind
and say 1t wanted no part of the
outside assistance - after the
Jonesboro Junior Chamber of
Commerce protested against
selling our pride for a pound
and half of dried milk"
County Judge Ben Miller re-
ported today that local employers
are making enough jobs avail
able to take care of the unem-
ployed who are able to work. He
added that State welfare assist
ance will be available to those
not physically able to work and
that no Federal aid will be
sought.
SpurnS Federal Aid.
"a lot of folks are providing
new jobs for the men," Judge
Miller said. This country has
never asked for Federal aid and
never wants to ask it."
Judge Miller pointed out that
the Federal aid that had been
offered wouldn't have gone very
far anyway"
The Surplus Commodity Divi-
sion had made available a pound
and half each of dried milk,
butter. cheese and shortening per
person per month.

emily referred to reductions that
took effect automatically last
January l and to some $1.3 bill
lion in further downward re-
visions suggested in President
Eisenhower's budget message.
His comments on tax cuts of
the size enviSioned by Senator
George and Senate and House
Democrats in general were re-
garded as drawing the lines q
bit tighter for an explosive con-
gressional election-year battle.
The main issue is whether the
budget should be balanced as
soon as possible along with some
tax cuts to encourage business
production, or whether personal
income tax relief should be given
at once to increase consumption.
There were reports yesterday
that Republicans may modify
their earlier. opposition to any
substantial amount of tax reduce
ton at this time. The George
plan, as well as a House Demo-
cratic move to raise personal
income tax exemptions from
$500 to $7O0, apparently was
gaining ground. At least two
Republicans on the Senate COM
mittee indicated something along
that line may find favor with
the administration.
Would Destroy Chance.
In any event, Senator Bridges
held no such enthusiastic view.
He declared that he did not see
the sense in our cutting appria-
tons down to the bones and then
approving tax cut which would
destroy any hope of balancing
the budget"
He also observed that any con-
siderable loss in tax revenue
would necessitate an increase in
the $275-billion debt limit.

Guatemala Just parf
I0f Vast Soviet Plan,
Coast Hearing Told
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 15.-The
former United States Ambas-
| sador to Honduras, John D. Err
| win, and Movie Actor Leo Car
/ rillo were. summoned today as
witnesses by q House subcom-
mittee investigating Communist
infiltration in Latin America.
Ramyond q. Leddy. officer in
charge OF Central American af-
fairs for the State Department,
told the committee yesterday.
why he believes the Communists
began domination of Guatemala.
He said it was not an isolated
undertaking, but an integral part
Of a vast plan, centrally directed
and controlled from Moscow.
Leddy said that although
Guatemala might appear to be
an insignificant pawn in the Red
Pattern Of world conquest. the
Russians, determined to break
Pan American unity, felt that
one country could serve a nest
ing place from which to reach
others. one by one.
TN the late '20s and early '30s,
Mexico was the object ofNgreatest
Communist activity" said MIR.
Leddy. I'm the mid -'30s, the at
tack shifted to Brazil and Chile.
Then, in the early '40s, Cuba was
the scene Of large-scale Com
munist organization and direct
Soviet infiltration."
In each Of these countries, the
Reds suffered reverses, Mr.. Leddy
said. But in 1914, when a Guate-
malan dictator was overthrown,
an exiled Marxist schoolteacher
named Juan Jose Arevalo was
elected President and opened the
doors to Red agents, Mr.. Leddy
added.
Representative Jackson, Re-
publican, of California described
Chile as the No. / danger spot
for Red activities in the hemi-
sphere today. He told the sub
committee his travels and inves-
tigation throughout Latin Amer
lea indicate Brazil Is the second
most serious from the standpoint
Of what might happen If that
country came under Communist
domination"
William O'Dwyer. United States
| Ambassador to Mexico in 1950-52,
former Mayor of New York and
now an attorney in Mexico City,
testified:
There was q time that the
Communists were literally within
an inch Of gaining control Of the
government of Mexico, just as
they later did gain control Of the
government of Guatemala"

THESE WE'RE THE FIRST

The Minnesota Historical So
ciety has records which give the
names OF nearly all Of those who
early came to Minnesota. In later
years that record Is found in the
census reports. But long before
the establishment OF government
in Minnesota and the first census
OF the territory, many hardy peo-
pie came into the great. area
which was later TO became the
state.
The records Of the fur trading
companies describe the various
posts Of the very early days, the
appearance and facilities at the
outlying stockades and give the
names Of many who were employ
ed. In 1880 traders were licensed
by the military authorities and for
this very early day there are the
names Of many OF the first men
in.
Among the licensed traders with
the Chippewas are found the
names OF five men, Lyman War
rem, William Aitkin. w. Davenport
John H. Fairbanks and B. F.
Baker The Fairbanks name Is
quite a common one among the
Chippewas to today. Aitkin county
was named after this early trader
At important places on the
rivers and among the lakes other
traders were licensed in 1880. Al.
fred Aitkin was the trader at Lake
Winnibigoshish. At Cas- Lake
was to be found one J. Ermating.

JOURNALISTIC ADVENTURE

The early newspaper men Of
Minnesota were not only pioneers,
Many were Adventures always
seeking a frontier. All OF them
worked under difficulties.
The first Newspaper. the Min
nesota Pioneer. appeared In st.
Paul In April. 1S48. It's publisher,
James NJ. Goodhue, a lawyer who
had moved westward through Wis.
consin.
This paper was started In a
shanty and Goodhue once com
planned that the hogs, then free TO
run the streets OF the city. made
writing difficult by their constant
roofing under the floor Of his
establishment.
Joseph n. Brown. one OF the
most ingenious among the plo-
neers OF Minnesota, took up news
paper ownership and work to-
gether with his other greatly
diversified undertakings.
Sam whiting was a journalist
at Winona In the is50's. Another
adventurer was Parker French OF
the Northern Herald ut Little
Falls. Both OF these men were
widely versed In ventures Of var
ious kinds. French was secretary
Of state for william Walker In
his Nicaraguan filibuster. whiting
was the founder OF the first news
paper In Panama In 1s49 These
men had spanned the weather map
In their activities on two greatly
contrasting frontiers.
The first woman publisher In
Minnesota was Jane Grey Swiss
helm who was editor OF the Wis.
itor at 81. Cloud. The issues Of the
is5O's were highly controversial.
Jane Swisshelm was not at all re-
strained In her discussion OF such
matters n slavery and rights for
women, One night mob Of dis
gruntled people tore her printing
plant TO pieces.
