time when our Secretary Of
State made his pilgrimage to
Paris and London. there are
serious difficulties in the way
now.
Early in April, Congress
would have gone along with
the idea Of collective secu-
rity in Asia-an Asiatic NATO.
Today, after Britain and
France have turned us down,
the mood Of the legislative
branch of the Government.
without whose consent no di-
rect American Intervention in
Southeast Asia is possible, has
changed. The members of
Congress want tangible proofs
and definite guarantees that
we won't 60 out on a limb as
we did In Korea. They want
to know that in the event of
an Intervention the allies
would fully share the respon-
sibilities of the campaign. They
want particular assurances
that when a military victory
is within reach-as it was in
Korea in 1951-the other mem-
berS of the coalition will not
fall into another "armistice
trap" And the legislators want
also definite assurances that
the strategy of another CAM
paign would be placed exclu-
sively in the hands of the men
in uniform and not those in
morning coats and striped
pants.
The French government, ac-
cording to available diplomatic
reports, would be agreeable at
this eleventh hour to accede to
such demands. But Britain,
where the Labor Party has an
important voice in foreign af-
fairs, though in opposition.
still is hesitating and hopeful

Big Question Is: War or Peace?

clashes between the East and
West. In all this, the sparring
that goes on in public plays a
big part. The Soviets see di-
vergences between Britain and
France and between America
and Britain. and they tend to
exaggerate them in their own
minds. This has to be over
come. so Anthony Eden. the
British foreign minister. tells
the Red Chinese foreign min
lister not to count too much on
transient differences because,
in the final showdown, all the
allies will stand together.
Not the least interesting
of the confidential exchanges
have touched on Soviet
Russia's real relations with
Red China. The Communist
Chinese have q sort of inde-
pendence Of and yet a depend
ence on Soviet Russia, and
behind the scenes-for they
don't publicize their differences
as we do ours-the going has
been tough and the co-ordina-
ton not too smooth between
Moscow and Peiping.
Out Of it all comes a single
important fact. It is costly for
the SovietS to maintain a sup
ply line of a military nature
into Korea and Indo- China
and it is costly, too, to put so
many billions of rubleS into
armament preparations when
the demand inside the Soviet
Union is for q better standard
of living. So the pressures for
peace are at the moment
strong in Moscow. Neverthe-
less. the pressure to push Com
munist Imperialism as a domi-
nant theology in the world is
unabated. The dangers were
accurately described this very
week in Paris by Field Marshal
Montgomery, when he said in
a speech:
"A third world war could
start by miscalculation or mis-
take. A situation might arise
somewhere in the world lead
ing to great tension. The lead
erS on both sides lose their grip
on the situation and then, sud-
denly, they find they have gone
too far and cannot prevent it
although neither side really
wished to start a major war;"
1t is to prevent such a mis-
calculation or mistake" that
the principals in the Geneva
Conference are talking to each
other privately, earnestly and
with a cordiality and frank
ness which thus far afford the
only basis for a hope that q
third world war can be pre-
vented.

Family Hear Tale
OF Ancestry

Mr.. and Mrs. Millard Gist en-
tertained so relatives Sunday at
their home on Liberty Street,
members of Mr.. Gist's family who
had come for the annual reunion.
Very appropriate was the time
of the reunion, since the Millard
GistS had just returned from a
trip east, the highlight of which
was visit to the Gist plantation
near Ft. Necessity, not too far
from Uniontown, Pa. They were
able to give a first hand account
to the family of the place of their
origin.
Though much of the history of
the family is no news to its men,
bers, an account of seeing the
plantation where their forebears
had settled way back when" was
a great delight. Christopher Gist,
from whom the Madison County
family is descended was the first
man to settle west of the Allegheny
Mountains and received a grant of
25,000 acres of land from the gov
ernment. He also helped with the
survey of the Northwest Territory,
and some of the landmarks on the
large acreage once owned by the
family, are still in existence.
From this vicinity at the re.
union were, Mr.. and Mrs. Bran
ford Gist and family, Mr.. and Mrs
Donald Brake and family, Clyde
Gist and the hostess Gists. Among
those who came from out-of-towr
were, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Gist and
their children, Joan and Paula oi

Bride S Grandfather Officiates
At Williams-Moon Nuptidls

Simplicity marked the wedding
at half after six o'clock Friday
evening, when Miss Joyce Lee Will
lams and Robert E. Moon eX-
changed marriage vows at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Carl Williams, 166 North
Madison Road. The bridegroom is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Moses
Moon, Washington Avenue.
The double ring ceremony was
read by the Reverend S. c. Will
liaIns, the brides paternal grand
father, of near London, retired
minister for the Church of Christ
in Christian Union.
Two altar baskets filled with
white gladioli and asters were used
with seven branched candelabras
to improvise the altar background
for the service. The branches of
the candelabras were sloped, the
glow from the white tapers, in
pyramidal form, softening the
simple but artistic decorations.
Given in marriage by her father,
the bride had chosen an afternoon
frock of blush pink silk shantung.
The princess bodice, fastened
down the front with small self
covered buttons, had a rounding
neckline and cap sleeves. The very
full skirt, worn over .crinoline pet
ticoat, fell floor length. Her dainty
bridal costume was enhanced by
pastel blue accessories that were
rhinestone studded. She carried a
white testament that was ornamen-
ted with a spray of three butter
fly orchids and fr n C h e d
white carnations. A half circle of
the white frenched carnations, out
lined the crown of her blond coif-
feur.
Miss Nancy Morrison, only at
tendant, wore an aqua silk shan
tung afternoon frock with v-neck-
line and cap sleeves. The full skirt
worn over crinoline, also fell
floor length. Her Victorian bouquet
was of yellow roses and chrysan-
themums, a garland of the flowers
forming her headdress.
Aaron Moon was best man for
his brother.
Summer flowers fashioned the
centerpiece for the brides table
at the reception for members of
the immediate families, that fol-
lowed the ceremony. A TERED we'd
ding cake completed the table
decorations.
Fer her daughters marriage,
Mrs. Williams wore a dark aqua
afternoon frock with black acceS-
sories and a corsage of yellow
roses. Mrs. Moons navy frock
had complementing accessories OF
the same shade and a corsage of
pink roses.
After a short wedding trip the
new Mr.. and Mrs. Moon will be
at home at an apartment at 1921
Lafayette Road which is awaiting
their return.
Mrs. Moon is associated with the
Ternstedt Branch, General Motors
in Columbus and Mr.. Moon is with
the General Motors Acceptance
Corp, Columbus office.
