Agreement

The Premier underlined the
fact that Israel had taken a
favorable view of the settle
ment of a certain number of
Arab refugees in the Jordan
Valley, but had stated that it
considered the quantities of
water set aside in the John
ston plan for such purposes

ment between the American
and Israeli negOtiatOrS.
Mr.. Sharett said that the
purpose of the talks was to
clarity the possibility of CO.
ordinating various plans to
use the Jordan and Yarmuk
rivers for irrigation and hy-
drOelectric power purposes
for all countries having
rights to these rivers. The
immediate object of the talks,
he stated, was to arrive at an
initial arrangement for a di-
vision of the water, so that
work could be started with
out delay on specific projects.
He stressed that Israel op-
position had been expressed
on the following points: 1,
Israel was unable to accept
Ambassador Johnston's prin-
ciple that only, Jordan Valley
lands should be irrigated with
water from these projects. Is
rael demanded that the water
be used to irrigate much
wider areas. AS a result of
this argument at croSS-pur-
poses, no agreement has been
reached on this point.
2. Israel refused to accept
any form of international su-
perviSion of these water re-
sources, despite Mr.. John
ston's explanation that he
had in mind a neutral body
whose function would be
merely to supervise the allo-
cation of specific quantities
of water which had been
agreed to by each country,
from a common water re-
source.

To us it seems that the Milford Board

the high School poorly To us it seems that
It would have been far better had those in
authority waited for directive from a high
ef authorlty-lf necessary a directive from
the United States Supreme Court-befOre
starting their program of integration of the
races IN the Milford Schools. The over
Whelming opinion here, we believe, is
against the procedure followed by the local
board. But Milford citizens, like those of
other dOWn-state communities, are law-abid-
ing. There would have been no demonstra-
tlOns such as those of the past few days had
our citizens been more fully informed of the
intentions OF the Board previous to the open
ing OF our schools. Our citizens will obey the
E9ullng OF recognized authority in solving
this matter
{, As usually happens following such con
tr0Versles, some changes may have to be
made in the membership of our local Board
OF Education and the administrative branch
OF our schools before full confidence is re-
stored IN those who are administering our
school affairs. Some heads may fall in the
future as a result of the trouble. At the
present the Superintendent of Schools seems
10 be bearing the brunt of the criticism di-
fected against the school authorities. Much

At the regular school elections next
spring two members must be elected to the
Milford Board of Education One to fill the
vacancy which will be made when the term
OF Dean Kimmel expires The other will be

OF Harry Mayhem. This gives ample time
Tor the present infamed tempers to cool. and
allows all concerned to concentrate on can

1t would seem that the elections then will
create more interest here than any held in
recent years. Interest in school affairs here

But right now is the time for calm think

interference, about our local affairs. There
is right answer and solution for our pres

thinking must be had if that solution is to
0e sound and reasonable. Every law-abid-
ing citizen has duty to see that a lasting
solution is found. We urge upon all our
people an approach that is calm, sane and

TheY' Be GIad To Come

West Germany's Chancellor Kon-
rad AdenaueT, in greeting Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
when his U. S. Air Force DC-6
touched down at Bonn airport, re-
marked: it does seem that
the best Europeans come from the
United States"

the history books. And undoubtedly

Secretary Anthony Eden was try
ing apparently without cause) to
cajole Premier Mendes-F France into
some sort of a European defense
plan under which Germany would
be permitted to rearm.
Meantime Mr.. Dulles sudden and
feverish fight to Bonn and London
and home again-ignoring Paris
was seized upon by the French
press as an insult, and the British
papers were inclined to pout that
the Secretary was stealing their
Mr.. Eden's thunder. Washington
explained however, that Mr.. Dulles
really was in tearing hurry, since
he wanted to get back home in time
to spend couple of days at his
summer home before attending the
opening of the UN in New York.
This would be on the sixth dav
after his take-Off for Bonn, and only
three weeks and a day since his
departure for the Manila SEATO
conference.
Considering that our Secretary of
State is a mere fiesh-and-blood
human being, who has spent a
fourth of his time on the Job five
months out of twenty as a travel
ling salesman, and logged close to
100000 air miles on fourteen trips,

not heal under a policy of inviting
the chiefs of other states to come

Beating Around The Stump

1t begins to look as though there
might be an election campaign in
the U. S. this year.

concerting defeat of Names Re
publican Governor Burton M. Cross
was probably good for Republican
organizations all over the country. -

the Republicans have one, we don't
know what it is.

Martin, who will cover IA states.
from coast to coast, began his barn
storming tour with a New JERSEY
speech dutifully urging support for
former Representative Clifford p
Case, who is now running for the
Senate. Branding the Democrats as
prophets of Doom" Mr.. Martin
lashed out at New Deal and Fair
Deal policies that have in the past
had Mr.. Cases consistent support
The November election, said Speak
er Martin, would be "the most
crucial nOn-Presidential balloting
Of all time" A Republican majority
is essential, he said, for the Ameri-
can people to continue their march
along the road leading from Social
list regimentatiOn back to a pros
porous free economy based on indi-
vidual freedom"
The Democratic hopeful, Adlai
Stevenson, last heard from at a
500 a plate dinner in Harrisburg,
Pa, spoke up at a $40 repast in
Cincinnati, o., in criticism Of the
"unending" Republican diet, which
he said consisted of equal portions
of niceness, nonsense and nasti-
ness" The Maine election, he
thought, indicates the people are
tired Of it, He further declared that
the Republican party was not a
party but a "brawl'.

There will be much more Of this
business Of "the pot calling the
kettle black" before November End,
for both parties are split down the
middle. Each has a right and a
left wing, and neither can come up
with an issue that will unite its
warning halves. And until a realign-
ment separates those who want the
security Of paternalism from those
who prefer to stand on their feet
we question the terrible significance
of whether there are a handful
more Republicans than Democrats
Or vice-versa-in the Congress.

Dear Friends:
MY news this week to you, winged
It's way to Delaware yesterday
morning Or so I thought.
Six O'Clock yesterday morning we
four got up and took Hayes out to
the Topeka Airport so that ne could
ready his Piper PAGER for the 1900
miie trip to Delaware. He had been
planning the trip for about a week
and expected to surprise our fami-
lies at home by landing at Willard
J9cksOn's Air Port and calling
home, announcing he was in Mil
ford.
After I let Hayes out at the air
port, we went back to the base TO
pick up Sergeant Victor Arco. who
was Hayes passenger for the cas-
tern trip. Areo was getting dis
charged from the Air Force yester-
Gay. After he obtained his Mister"
papers we headed back to the plane
for their take of at eight a. M. We
didn't accompany Hayes because of
Lynne's school and for another em-
phatic reasOn--my last fight to
Delaware last February. Flying that
distance in a single engine, light
plane holds no interest for me. I
surely hated to see them get ready
TO 90 to my favOrite state, but /
still didn't envy them that ride.
When Hayes leaned down to
kiss Dawnie goodbye she whisper
ed in his ear, Il hate to have to
go and that almost cinched the
trip right there. A friend of ours
from Forbes Air Base, who is the
weather. man, told Hayes they
would have good tail winds and
they anticipated a quick fight to
their destination. We watched until
they were just a dot in the slv
and then Hayes three female went
tearfully back home.
ArcO's family was planning a big
welcome for his home coming. nat
urally, and if they didn't make good
enough time for Hayes to make
home in one day he had been in
vited to spend that evening with
the ArcO family at Ford CITY. Penn
sylYania Ga town Just northeast of
Pittsburgh), and enjoy a spaghetti
dinner, the likes of which could
only be cooked by his Italian mo-
ther, ArcO said.
Every hour of the day I envision-
ed them over Missouri, over Indi-
ana, over Illinois, etc. A coffee in
the morning and visiting with the
girls on my front porch in the
afternoon helped pass the day. AT
seven O'Clock the phone rang. and
as / rushed to it I told Lynne to

ana not a negative way: There is
no shadow of doubt In our mind
knowing Delaware people as we
DO, but that patience and calm
ness can develop anywhere in the
state when real community leaders
begin taking their active, respon-
sible part.
We can we'll believe the report
that already a reaction is setting
IN, now that clergymen and other
civic leaders Of Milford are plead
ing for understanding. The threats
that resulted in the closing of
school doors are certainly not to
be blamed upon the group that
made the original protest to the
local board in a resolution wOrded
with restraint But what has han
pened-the threats against Negro
children; the rubbish thrown on
the steps Of the school superinten-
dents b ON g - can make the
thoughtful, sincere leaders of botb
groups realize how evils can
SNOWFALL from any but the most
SateLuA approach % this issue.
Our hope is that with leadership
Of the type shown in Dover since
last spring, by a score Of civic
minded or religious groups, the set
back IN Milford can be repaired
promptly. There is even a good
chance that It may serve to pre-
vent anything like it occurring
elsewhere in the state. Public
meetings called by school boards
interracial committees meeting To
talk over future plans-these have
proven effective wherever called
into action. The mass meeting
without a moderator can be head
ed OF and progress toward peace
tul indignation inevitable now un-
der the laW-can be made wher-
ever there are leaders who will
come forward and speak up.-Wii-
