Robert BidweII
Wins Contest At
Ohio State Fair

Robert Bidwell son of Mr. and
Mrs. Mervin BidweH, and senior
at West Jefferson Local school,
came out on top in the FLA.
Skilled Driver" contest at tn e
Ohio State Fair.
Robert won over thirty other
boys of as many FLA. chapters
from over the state, who were ELI
gible only after competing in the
State Highway Safety contest His
score of 95 was the highest score
that a Future Farmer" has made
in this particular contest, since
its origin four years ago. He only
missed making a perfect score be-
cause he knicked a line in backing,
one of the required manuevers.
For accomplishing this feat,
Robert receives a trophy, and a
money prize presented by the Ohio
Farmers Insurance Company. By
winning, Robert also brings to his
chapter a gift of 5000, also pre-
sented by the Ohio Farmers In
surance Company to help defray
expense of other members of the
chapter to the National FLA con-
vention in Kansas City, the week
of October II.
To win the contest Robert went
through the following maneuvers:
Straight line driving ;close quar-
ter maneuvering back up and
turn around left hand parking;
all accomplished in very close
quarters"

For Sick Trees

Columbus, Ohio - o. A. Alder
man, Chief of the State Division
of Forestry, issued warning re-
Gently to private citizens and or
CARNATIONS to exercise real caut-
ion in contracting for So-called
miracle cures" for diseases af-

Numerous reports of the sale of
such miracle" chemicals have
been reported throughout the
State recently, and Alderman
points out that State and Federal
research groups, as we'll as repu-

tested countless chemicals for such
use. Results to date have not been

Ohio Grange In
$4,000 eff To
Polio Foundation

Ohio Oranges have now contri-
buted nearly $4,000 toward the es-
tablishment of the new Magnetic
Springs Polio Foundation at Mag
netic Springs, Ohio, it was report
ed this week by State Grange
Master Byron Frederick, Colum-
bus, Ohio.
Included in this amount are
several sizeable recent contribu-
tions such as $1,234.33 from the
Logan County Oranges and $1,000
from the Delaware County
Oranges
According to Mr. Frederick, this
financial support by Ohio Oranges
has helped make possible the pur-
chase of the Park Hotel in Mag
netic Springs, as the site of the
mid-west's first polio clinic and re-
habilitation center. The trustees of
the Foundation took title to the
property a few weeks ago and
plan to let remodeling contracts
later this month.
It is hoped that the new polio
center's first patients can be re-
ceived later this fall Upon COM
pletion of the building remodel
ing, about 100 patients at a time
will benefit from a polio rehabili-
tation program similar to the
highly successful program which
has been followed at the famous
Georgia Warm Springs Founda-
tion for several years.
A general statewide campaign
for $250,000 with which to estab-
lish and maintain the Magnetic
Springs Polio Foundation is now
in progress. Individual contribu-
tions should be sent to K ID. Kyle,
Fund Drive Treasurer, Redwood,
Ohio.

Toledo Man Says
Turnpike Group
Is Ruthless

Toledo, O.-Property owners
within the mile-wide Swaths of the
new North-South Turnpikes were
warned today that the Turnpike
Commission will seize their lands
without regard to individual or
community welfare and will "use
the courts to defy the la aws" OF
private property.
The warning was sounded by
Cooley Ellis, Toledo businessman
and possesSor of a basic legal vic
tory against tn Turnpike Com
mission in the higher courts. Re-
Gently the Ohio Supreme Court
ruled in Mr.. Ellis favor, in the
now-famous sign case" by de-
claring the Commission had acted
beyond its authority by appropria-
ting sign rights along the 241
miles of the East-West Turnpike
now under construction. The Turn
pike Commission was defeated on
other points in the Ellis case.
From bitter experience" Mr.
Ellis declared, Il can forsee that
thousan S of property-ownerS
along the new Turnpike will be
future victims of the Turnpike
Commission. The extra-legal sta
tus of that body h a given it a
ruthless, arrogant attitude toward
the rights of citizens. I strongly
urge that all property-owners af-
fected by the new routes join in
a common effort to curb the abuse
of powers practiced by the Com
mission. All of us want a Turnpike
and the state can be well served
by it But the Commission spent
many thousands of dollars in prop
aganda to convince the public that
opposition to its un-democratiC
procedure means opposition to a
Turnpike. That is not in the least
true. All of us oppose the admin
stration of the Turnpike Act, not
the creation of a Turnpike"
Specifically Ellis warned prop
erty owners to read the fine print
in the resolutions of necessity iSsu-
ed by the Turnpike Commission. "
Just as the Commission illegally
attempted to appropriate the sign
rights it also is attempting to ap-
propriate other rights, notably the
"abutters rights" which place i'm
possible restrictions on lands re-
naming to the owner and for
which the Commission does n o
paw. he said.

Surplus Food
In LieuO Of Aid

WASHINGTON (JTA).-
The House Foreign Affairs
Committee has given tenta-
tive approval today to a pro
posed amendment to the Mu-
tual Security Act of 1854
which would replace ecOnOm-
ic aid with $1,000,000,000 of
surplus agricultural com
moditieS.
It was envisaged that in
stead of granting economic
assistance to projects in IS
rael and other countries, as
in previous years, aid would
be extended principally in the
form of agricultural commod-
tiles. This, it was thought,
would be cheaper for the
United States and would
also please the American
farmers.

Plan Forum
Setup To
Aid Israel

JERUSALEM (JTA).-The
Jewish Agency executive has
decided to open its plenary
session on July II. DR.. Ma
hum Goldman, chairman of
the executive, reported on his
activities in New York to es-
tablish a permanent frame
work for consultations among
leaders of all major American
Jewish organizations on mat
ters concerning Israel.
DR.. Goldman said that all
leading Jewish groups in the
us. have accepted his invita-
ton to participate in such a
forum, except the American
Jewish Committee. DR.. Gold
mann said that there are good
possibilities to strengthen the
Zionist movement and IN
crease it's influence. He also
touched upon the anti-Zionist
campaign of the American
Council for Judaism.
Eliahu Dobkin, member OF
the executive, proposed that
the Zionist movement be re
organized from its present
philanthropic character" tc
"an active movement for the
realization of Zionist aims
and national education in the
Diaspora." He asserted tha'
what Zionism needs is
movement that can stimulate
general immigration and alsC
immigration of Jewish you'll
to Israel. 1t is this type o.
work, he added, that is neces
sary in order to combat the
trend toward assimilation

This contemplated action

that one would add, perhaps,
about $120,000,000 of bonds

munity, and the contribution
through the United Jewish

average would be, say $780,

reparations now being re-

we can see pretty well the

period of years"
Mr.. Gardiner outlined the
following steps the State De-
partment would like" to see
Israel take: l, compensate
the Arab refugees; 2, un-
freeze still further the frozen
bank accounts of the Arabs
3. reach terms with the UN
regarding the division of the
waters of the Jordan River;
4. consider still further the
possibilities of repatriation OF
the Arab refugees; 5, adopt a
more conciliatory attitude to
word the Arabs, and 6, reas

than the Jordan Valley Au-
thority plan prepared by the
United States.
The Israeli plan-knOWn as
the Cotton Plan-VisualiZes a

ing over 25 years and costing
in total $47O,000,00O. 1t pro-
poses fullest irrigation of all
lands that need it in Jordan,
Southern Lebanon and the
Yarmuk basin of Syria, with
excess water which cannot
then be used in these areas be-
ing allOcated to Israel which,
by contrast, has far more land
in need of irrigation than. wa
ter available for the purpose
Where the plan drafted by
American experts and pressed
by Ambassador Eric Johnston
provides for the irrigation of
10000 dunams -four dunamS
equal one acre. of land in
Syria, nothing for Lebanon,
100000 dunams for Jordan
and 100000 dunams for IS

irrigation of 10000 dunams
for Syria, 35O,OOO dunams for
Lebanon, 100000 dunams for
Jordan and 100000 dunams
for Israel.
Mr.. Johnston announced
that he was leaving for Cairo
to meet with technical and
political representatives of
four Arab states. After that
he will proceed to Tel AviV

the Israelis needed urgent re-
lief supplies while developing
projects in the Arab world
were not yet ready.
Asked by a member of the
House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee whether the Arabs
have "due cause" to fear Is
rael, Arthur Gardiner said:
'I think that if you listen to
certain influential Israeli
leaders, you have every cause
for alarm" Both he and Mr..
Byroade strongly advocated
the United States sending
arms to Iraq in order to
make the Iraq army a "sta-
bilizing force" in the Middle
East.
Mr.. Gardiner told the COM
mittee the effect of United
States arms shipments to
Iraq land the furnishing of
the advice that goes with
them" could be similar in the
long run to the stabiliZing eff
feet of British officers in the
Arab Legion of Jordan. Mr.
Byroade said that key men
of the State Department, just

found there "a new feeling
of friendship toward the

Israel'S Income Cited
Mr.. Gardiner reported that
the total us. contributions to

On the Israeli side, he said,
the record was as follows:

US. Considers
Iraqi Army
Stable Force

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
(JTA).-Gen. Yigal Yadin,
former chief of staff of the
Israel army who is in the
us, ridiculed the statement
by State Department Off
cialS before the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs
that the us. hopes to make
the army of Iraq a "stabiliz-
ing force" in the Middle East.
Speaking at a luncheon of
the United Nations Core
spondents Assn, Gen. Yadin,
who faced the Iraq military
forces for six years, said that
peace in the Middle East
would be "precarious" if it
were based on the Iraqi
army.
II don't want to undereSti-
mate the Iraqi army as far
as Israel is concerned" he
said, "but 1 would like to
draw your attention to two
factors: 1, the whole Iraqi
army could not overcome the
OppOSitiOn of a single small
British brigade at Habbiniyah
during the second World
War; 2, the whole Iraqi army
plus the whole Egyptian, Sy
rian and LebaneSe armies
could not overcome the small
Israeli army during the Pal
estine war"
1t was "a dangerous as
sumption" in the opinion OF
Gen. Yadin, that this was the
best force in the Middle East
Nevertheless, he said, ISrae
was worried about the sup
plies and weapons given tc
the Iraqis. II don't think tha'
the Iraqi army has any value
as far as world peace is con
cerned but it can be more
than a nuisance value as fal
as Israel is concerned"
