" est Europe BulWark

THE news that the major powers of
Western Europe had agreed on a new
alliance to prevent aggression. which in
cludes the granting of sovereignty to West
Germany and the right to rearm. is sig
nticant achievement Of I. S. and British
foreign policy. If this effort had failed. it
is no eXaggeration to state that the secur-
ity Of Western Europe would have been
struck what could have been a fatal blow
For a few hours during this conference,
it appeared that France would wreck the
latest Western defense alliance. The
French-who had earlier been reported
ready to grant West Germany sovereignty
-hedged on this point and for time
threatened to disrupt the conference For
Frances, it was crossroads decision Pre-
mler MendeS-FranceS had to decide whether
he would prefer to risk German or Russian
aggression
In spite Of Frances traditional fears of
Germany. the French Premier finally
came around to realistic viewpoint-that
the threat of Russia was the great danger
faced by the world today That this was

ON The Columbia IS. CD State

DUKE SHOOP, Washington correspond
ent, says that the Democrats have aban-
doned plan to use Eisenhower's golfing
expeditions as 1854 campaign issue
For one thing he writes the COP was
ready with figures to show that Harry S.
Truman was no mean vacationist himself.
Mr. Shoop. long representative of the
Kansas City papers, takes an opportunity
to review the vacation likes and dislikes Of
other Presidents.
As to Eisenhower who favors Denver
in the summer and Augusta in the winter,
Mr.. Shoop says: Even the Democrats had
to admit that the President kept his nose
TO the grindstone throughout the final
weeks of Congress-
WI quote at length, for we think it is
interesting, what Mr. Shoop had to say of
the vacations of Presidents, from Taft to
Ike:

Virginia Beautiful

FALL coIors are showing in Virgina's
countrysdes. Nature is beginning to
change the green to a galaxy or an extrav-
aganza Of colors
Virginia has no corner on natures
beauty, but it is particularly blessed and
endowed from the mountains to the sea
with beauty in the fall season. The noun
tains provide vastness of colors which
is awe inspiring; the rolling Piedmont
sprawls out like an arrangement of the
artist. and the lower sections nearer the
sea are bright with roadside beauty ex-
quisite in its closeness. A days journey in
Virginia can give one all Of the types Of

Wisdom Is for This World

There have been good pious peo-
pie who didn't know quite what to
do with this book OF Proverbs.
For it is out Of line with any other
worldly notion Of religion. People
who think that religion and COM
mon sense are two different
things; people who think religion
is concerned with things unseen
while common sense deals with
everyday facts; people who think
that religion is chiefly concerned
with death and what comes after,
all these people are taken aback
by the earthly simplicities at the
Proverbs. The wisdom which is
here admired and praised is not
anything "out Of this world 1t is
strictly for this world A former
governor OF Virginia testified that
during his term Of Office he had
received more help in the prac.
teal problems Of government from
the book of Proverbs than from
any OF the books on political sci
enee which lined his library
shelves.

Wisdom Is From God

In the book OF Proverbs wisdom
is not only different from knowl-
edge, it is different from what IS
sometimes called worldly wisdom
Men are sometimes called wise by
unthinking persons when they are
merely wise in the ways OF the
world smart shreWd, able to look
out for themselves, always alight-
ing on their feet, like cats. The
wisdom commended in Proverbs is
not worldly, it is divine. 1t differs
from ordinary smartness in two
ways. First. it is from God. Il can
be learned anywhere eco To the
ant consider her ways. and be
Wise') but God is the final source
Of wisdom In other words. wisdom
in these pages means much the
same as what other writer's call
conforming to the will Of God. 1t
means looking at things with the
eye and the mind OF God Further,
as The writer's OF Proverbs see it,
true wisdom Includes God; that is
to say, the wise man viii remem-
Der God while the fool either never
gives God a thought, or SAYS in
his heart, there Is no God. he is
the most important fact in the
universe; to leave him out # all
our calculations is to be a top

Top Defense Aides
Discuss New Military
Manpower Policies
By John A. Giles

Top-level Pentagon discussions
OF . sweeping new military man
power plan continued today In
the wake Of President Eisenhow-
er's statement that some form
Of training for every American
would give both the individual
and the Nation the maximum
chance for survival.
The Chief Executive made the
remark In answer to q question
ut o news conference yesterday
afternoon.
He said that, unfortunately.
war had been q phenomenon Of
every generation and, therefore,
such q training program would
be most advantageous.
It was the latest in O series
Of recent statements by admin
istration officials indicating seri-
Gus thinking along these lines.
Even while the President was
speaking, a meeting was under
way at the Pentagon at which
an attempt was being made to
iron out details for such a pro-
gram - the broad outline Of
which already has been Endorsed
by the. National Security Coun-
Gil.
Congress Cool to UNIT.
This newest approach to some
form of universal military train
ing will be brought before Con-
gress early next year. Whether
Congress will go along with any
comprehensive plan is q ques-
ton. It has been cool to UNIT
In the past.
The plan. in essence, is aimed
ut military duty for all quail
ned young men followed by COM
pulsory service In the reserves
to prepare the Nation for any
possible war with Russia. The
present Selective Service Act,
which expires next June 80, pro-
vides that every youth be sub
ject to the draft for two years.
It also provides that these vet
Grams should then affiliate with
q military reserve component for
q total Of eight years OF active
duty and reserve work. However.
1t provides no penalty for any
one who does not join a reserve
outfit. Prior service personnel
have shown some resentment to

Nelson Asks Higher
Jail Penalty for
No-License DRIVING

Municipal Court Judge George
ID. Nelson yesterday called on
the Commissioners to increase
the jail penalty for driving with
out permit.
Judge Nelson, sitting in Traf-
fic Court. declared that. under
recent revisionS Of the traffic
regulations. the maximum PEN
atty is $500 or 10 days in jail.
He said that a few months ago,
; when he was previously assigned
to the Traffic Court, the penalty
had been $500 or 80 days in jail.
In my opinion. lowering the
jail term alternative is a step
backwards" he said. People
who drive without permits are
one Of the major causes of acci-
dents"
At the same time the Judge
announced that a bill of rights
in Traffic Court" would be read
daily at the beginning of the
B court session to see that de-
PENDANTS are advised as to their
rights and also to promote
safety on our highways"
Judge Nelson said he is in
shutting the "bill of rights" at
the request of the American Bar
Association. "The bill of rights
ends with this paragraph: 1.-THE
court wants you to know that,
regardless of whether or not a
fine or jail sentence is imposed,
it should like very much to be
your friend. and sincerely ap-
pealS to your sense Of Self-pres-
ervation and civic pride to make
the subject Of safety your own
personal problem.
