include the sending Of troops.
The possibility of dispatching
troops was brought up 10 days
ago by Vice President Nixon
but other administration spokes-
men have asserted no such a
move is contemplated.
The President also stressed
the necessities of meeting diff
ficulties in time so as not to
permit them to become major
catastrophes.
He spoke briefly of the con-
ference at Geneva and said that
We hope the logic of today's
situation will appeal to all peo-
pies regardless of their ruth
lessness and that they will see
the futility of war or a threat
of war as means of settling
national difficulties.
Mustn't Exaggerate Peril.
We must not exaggerate dan
gers. he said, just as we must not
be complacent.
The President urged support
for the United Nations which he
said while admittedly an imper-
feet instrument, has accom-
plished much in late years.
Turning briefly to his domestic
legislative program. he described
the report of the Randall Com
mittee as a moderate, middle of
the road" program for liberaliza-
ton of trade. He said this pro-
gram would strengthen the econ
omy of other nations as well as
that of our own country.
Saying that "a long face never
solved any difficult problems, :"
the President said this Nation is
striving for the positive factors
of happiness and enjoyment.

called the assembly to order in
the somber council chamber of
the United Nations headquarters,
formerly the League of Nations
Palace of Nations.
Final peace in Korea and an
end to the bloodshed in Indo-
China were the momentous
issues before the conference, but
grave and bitter differences were
still to be settled in preliminary
debate.
Prince VANS selection as
chairman for the first day, with
Vyacheslav M. Molotov of the
Soviet Union and Britain's Anth-
ony Eden to follow on successive
days, ended one of the disagree
ments. But the explosive issue
OF Communist China's place in
the proceedings was bypassed
for later settlement or by the
course Of the conference.
Bidault Late in Arriving.
The Thai prince, his coun-
try's foreign minister and it's
delegate to the United Nations
for several years, was delayed
in calling the historic meeting
to order. Frances Foreign Min
lister Georges Bidault was late
in arriving and photographers
were allowed in the chamber
to record the opening.
Not since the depressing DAYS
OF 1889 has such a high-level
diplomatic meeting been held in
the building. Many of the
between-the-wars hopes for
peace in Europe lay slumbering
there.
The prince. who told reporters,
"juSt call me Prince Wan" after
being chosen chairman of to-
days meeting. was among the
first to arrive. North Korea's
Foreign Minister Nam II was
next and Pyun Yung Tai of
South Korea followed soon
afterward.
United States Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles was
the first of the Big Four min
listers to arrive.
Mr.. Molotov walked into the
chamber, where the council of
the old League of Nations con-
demned his nation for making
war on Finland, with Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko at his side. Mr.. Molotov's
face was expressionless.
Eden Comes in Laughing.
Mr.. Eden laughed with his
companion. Lord Reading, un-
derSecretary of state in the Brit
iSh Foreign Office. Mr.. Eden
had been in the chamber many
times during the days of the
League.
The first session lasted less
than half an hour and the
delegates adjourned.
Mr.. Eden, emerging, said:
"All the procedure is agreed.
We meet tomorrow to start. Now
that is very good. So you can
all smile and be happy"
Mr.. Dulles. asked if he was
satisfied with the opening, re-
piled:
Eyes. it got off to a good
start"
The South Korean delegation
was the first to emerge from the
conference. It's members said
the status of Red China was not
brought up.
Chairmanship Ratified.
Prince Wan said the confer
ence had done nothing beyond
ratifying the Big Four decision
on the Craftsmanship question.
He said there was no discus
sion of voting procedure or of
the status of any participating
nation. This was a reference to
the fight over the role Of Red
China.
A Soviet spokesman said at a
briefing after the session that
Mr.. Molotov was responsible for
the agreement on the chairman

COINS efforts in behalf of the

were conducted with the knowl-

The testimony was given as
the bitter Army Mccarthy in

day Of public hearings. There
appeared to be considerable less
attention and interest in the
proceedings than there was
when the hearings got under way
last week.

titled included:

2. MIR. Stevens sharply disputed
a suggestion by Ray H. Jenkins,
special counsel for the investi-
cation, that his testimony sought
to minimize the Mccarthy in
quiry at Fort Manmouth and
had damned with faint praise"

spent most of the morning ses-
sion in questioning Mr.. Stevens
about repeated efforts by Senator
Mccarthy and Mr.. Cohn to get
the Army to accord special
treatment for Pvt. Schine after
he was drafted into the Army
last November.
Many Conversations.
After it was brought out there
had been 85 separate conversa-
tions-by telephone or in person
between the Army on the one
hand and the Mccarthy group
on the other in the Schine affair,
Mr.. Stevens declared:
1T was not incumbent on Sem
ator Mccarthy to make calls on
the Army as he did" At another
point, the tall gray-haired Sec
cretary, speaking firmly and en-
phatically. told the investigating
subcommittee:
Il do object violently to the
amount of attention that was
devoted to the particular case.
Senator Mccarthy appeared
grim and for the most part un-
smiling as he sat at the end of
the huge committee table while

retary and brought out details

Tip" Raspberries
Increase Yield

Tipping" black and purple
raspberries increases development
of lateral branches and gives
higher yields the following year,
according to Vernon Patterson,
Ohio State University extension
fruit specialist.
He advises berry growers to
break or cut off q inches of the
tip of newly developing canes dur
ing late May and June when they
are about 24 inches long. That
leaves mature canes about %
inches long.
The specialist says a common
mistake is to wait untiI canes are
80 to 40 inches long then remove
only short piece of the terminal
growth. That results in top-heavy
canes that break of at ground
level in winter or at harvest time
the following summer.
Growers need to inspect plant
ings every few days during late
May and June in order to Tip >
them at the best time. Canes
don't cevelop at rhe same rate.
Patterson suggests wearin &
gloves to break off tips or using
shears to cut them.

expanded High School Income Tax

During the past school year,
Director LOCKER said a majority

ers and school principals were
enthusiastic over the unusually
fine response it received from stu

ed to file Federal income tax re-
turns because of part-time earn

Entirely different lines are be-

Bow And Arrow
Carp Fishing Is
Popular Sport

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Division
of Wildlife officials are urging
sportsmen to take advantage of
Ohio's liberalized fishing regulat-
ions which permit the taking of
carp and other rough fish by such
methods as spearing, gigging and
with bow and arrow.
At the pres aI,S time carp are
spawning in most lakes and
streams over the state and il is
at this time that carp are most
easily taken by the above mention
ed methods.
Recently, fishing for carp with
bow and arrow has become quite
sport and by attaching a line
and spinning reel to the bow the
fisherman" adds considerably to
the sport. He not only has the
sport of shooting the carp but
also the thrill of playing the fight
ing fish on the end Of line.
Because carp congregate in
large schools in shallow water
during the spawning season and
because of their large size they
make a good target for the bow
and arrow fisherman.
Gigs, spears and even pitchforks
are also handy pieces of equip
ment for taking carp His fighting
ability should not be underesti-
mated nor should his eating quail
ity. Properly prepared the carp
is a good fish and smoked is
in constant demand and brings a
good price on the market.
Carp are overabundant in Ohio
and sportsmen should take advan-
tage of the fact that fishing for
them is good sport, good eating
and good riddance.

Potato production per acre in

Malaria has been banished from

toes; and house flies are present in
only fraction of their former
numbers as a result of insecticides.
In 1867, once hundred letters
from members of the newly form
