THE FOLLY OF DEMACOCY: 4sThe Eisenhower Administration

THE FOLLY OF DEMACOCY: t'The Eisenhower Administration has a greater assignment from destiny than the exposure of past espionage. The attempt to establish peace must be made. In any case, whether the attempt succeeds or fails, the United States must be defended. Storms over Europe, the Pacific, and Southeast Asia and lesser but dangerous typhoons in Trieste, Palestine, and Iran have to be either calmed or ridden out (The President's) real problem is whether his Administra- ton can govern in spite of his party's politicians. "A. A. Berle, Jr.
 NOTE TO CANADA:
 We hereby salute neighbor state
 For not letting things dejennerate." FRENCH ALCOHOL LOBBY: The alcohol lobby in France is "an un- breakable formation of winegrowers, beet growers, apple growers, and dis tillers whose members produce twice as much alcohol as the nation can con. sume each year and force the govern ment to buy the surplus at rate four times the world price. French vats are so full of unstable government-owned alcohol that it would be cheaper now for the government to dump it all in the sea than try to store it. And Frenchmen are so full of alcohol that the expenses of the French Social Security System in care of alcoholics anl diseases directly attributable to 2 oohoism are larger than all taxes paid by spirit and wine dealers" - Theodore H. White.
 FICTITIOUS ADVICE TO EURO PEANS: 'Hate Americans because they Want to run the worid [n this con- nection, t wouId De sUeU not to call Americans isoIahonists in the same breath. While crihcizing Americans for their lust for power, it sOouLd De iOeH to attack them too because they are aLways childishly homesick for their Uulgar lend and withdrato their troops at the earliest possible moment, Leauing behind q trail of powdered milk and span. ."-M.

Ellison Presents
Outstanding
Concert AT KWHS

A large and enthusiastic audience
assembled last night in the high
school o hear Dorothy Ellison, a
beautiful contralto, in concert of
English, German and French songs,
ending with a group of negro spiri-
tuals.
She is the possessor of phenom-
email voice of rich beauty, and is a
scholarship pupil of the Juilliar
School of Music in New York. She
is on her third concert tour and
gave a very finished performance.
Her accompanist, Mrs. Alma P.
Terrell, worked under serious dis
advantage with inadequate light
ing, but did very good piece of
work.
Miss Ellison bids fair to be one
Iof Americas greatest contraltos,
and it is to be regretted that more
people did not take advantage of
the opportunity to hear her.
