A cheek of official opinion indi-
Gated today that this country has
no intention Of holding out to Red

conference on Far East peace
problems either the prospect Of
recognition or the lure of trade
as payments for peace.
There have been news reports
from Paris that at least some
responsible French leaders believe
only such American inducements
can offer any real hope of an end
to the Indochina fighting.
US. officials do not necessarily
agree with this point Of view.
There Is no indication that the
Reds at Peiping care about Amer
lean recognition nor are enough
interested in trade with the United
States to give up their bid for
Indochina.
The real difficulty between
Washington and Paris on the prob
lem, however, is their different
approaches to the problem Of Indo-
china peace. The French govern
ment undoubtedly feels itself under
pressure to get peace in Indochina
at some price. But the United
States has been willing to consider
only a settlement which did not
bring in outside issues and which
would secure the strategic land
against new Communist aggres-
sion.
In the Geneva talks the world
powers will tackle first the prob.
lem of Korea and second that of
Indochina. A trade embargo was
imposed by the United States on
Red China because of the Korean
War. At the moment it appears
that only Communist agreement
to the unification, freedom and in
dependence Of all Korea would
bring an agreement to lift or sub.
stanially modify the trade barrier.

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

Yesterday we mentioned that If
civic officials had not taken prompt
action, we would have lost out in
an attempt to secure a new sewer
line. This was because government
aid would have been Withdrawn
with the expiration of Public
Law then in effect. It was because
of the need for speed that bids
for street repair program were
eliminated at that time.
OF course, gratefulness for the
sewer line doesn't eliminate the
nasty dust and bunny roads that
are proving 50 irksome to all OF
us. Perhaps these worries won't
be with us too long, however.
I've recently talked with some of
the City Fathers and a few weeks
ago, with City Manager Vic Lang.
These man are doing everything
possible to get the street repair
program underway. There are Ger.
tain engineering problems which
have TO be accomplished before
work on the streets can begin. For
instance, I'm told that "infitration
tests" must be completed TO pre-
vent any necessity of digging up
the street at a LATER date. And, Of
course, the fresh earth must be
allowed 10 settle in spite OF the
fact that the way our cars bump,
it feels like we're riding on rock
already.
It is hoped that the new street
building machine will provide
fast, economical means OF resur-
facing not only the streets dug up
by the sewer line but all Key West
streets throughout the City. On
this matter, we can only keep our
fingers crossed along with city Of.
ficials. At least there is a clause
which will permit return of the
machine if it does not prove sue
cessful.
Well, that's the dope as far as
this column has been able 10 dis
cover. I think that considering the
magnitude of both projects -
street and sewer - we don't have
too much reason to grippe and
should feel very happy that our
town is progressing as it never has
before. Although this column en-.
joys prodding City Hall into anger,
il also likes to pay compliments
when they are deserved.

Such a statement coming from

enjoy a visit to Borriello's exhibit

THE MOVIES AND HISTORY

Hollywood has the habit of taking historical novels
and making movies of them dreaming up historical

as Spillane charged that most Hollywood writer's were

history.
One reason for this fault which borders the
truthful is the prevailing belief in Hollywood
that the American fmgoer must have lavish frls, big
explosions much color and crcus-show spectacle if he
is to appreciate the movie On the other hand have
long believed that simple plots with downtoearh scenes

often guilty.
It is this desire to produce a spectacle that leads
Hollywood producers to dstort historical facts Generally
