The story follows:
there's one time in the year
when every family's happy, when
Father and the whole family relax
completely and forget all troubles
- that's vacation time. It's vaca-
ton time for the Maxwells, and the
entire family 10 looking with anti
cipation toward the coming two
weeks.
Daughter Betty. LOUIS longing to
visit Hollywood; son Wilbur Is rar-

tains Yes, there are exciting times
ahead. But Mother Maxwell seeing
Aunt Mary come back from her
vacation completely exhausted;
seeing Bernadine Smith, Betty

her practically null and void: and
remembering how exhausted and
beat up the Maxwell family was
following last years vacation, gets
the sudden idea that 1t will be best
for them TO spend this years va

children will be rested for school
and they'll have a jump on the
coming year. So, the Maxwells

It's practically a leap because
Mrs. Maxwelrs parents pull in and
Mr.. Maxwell's parents pull in and
his boss sends a special represen.
tative over to sign a special con.
tract and everything goes wrong
and haywire and berserk. The two
grandfathers meet head-on, Mr.

Arlington Still Leads

RICHMOND, Mar. 18.-No
Virginia county went through
1853 without a traffic fatality,
a State police analysis accident
record shows.
Hanover County. one Of the
most hazardous areas in the
State to travel through the pre-
vious year, decreased its traffic
fatalities from 20 in 1852
fourth highest in the State
to eight last year.
Other counties showing an i'm
proved traffic picture in 1858
were Bedford, 18 fatalities in
1852. 6 in 1858; Dinwiddie. 16
and 8; Norfolk. 40 and 80. and
Smyth. Is and 4.
Arlington remained the county
with the highest death rate.
though traffic fatalities there
went from "a to 40 in 1858.
Among cities, Winchester was
the only one of 10000 or more
to finish its second straight year
without traffic death.

Peiping's Claim to 'A-Bonk' Role
Russian Demand on Behalf Of Mao Is Just Anothe
Attempt to Ram Red China Down Our Throots
Constantine Brown

The Soviet government de-
mands now that the Peiping
regime be invited to particle
pate in the atom bank" plan
proposed early this year by
President Eisenhower.
The textbooks of the future
dealing with international
problems will call this year the
China Year." The Soviet gov
eminent, which exercises a ter
rife pressure on this free world
because 1t has the capabilities
to implement its diplomatic ac-
tons by military operations,
loses no opportunity to demand
that China be accepted in the
concert Of world powers on an
equal footing.
During the Berlin confer
ence Secretary Dulles had at
least two confidential talks with
Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
TOW on the subject of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's proposal
that an international center be
organized to gather f1ssion-
able materials for non-military
use.
Preliminary conversations in
Washington between Mr.. Dull
les and the Soviet Ambassador,
Georgi Zarubin, seemed to
have prepared the ground for
further talks with Mr. Molo-
tov. To the amazement of our
Secretary of State, however,
the Kremlin spokesman at the
Berlin conference demanded
that Communist China be in
cluded in the plan and made
even a tentative approval of
further negotiations condition
al to that conclusion.
AS far as Is known here
China has no atomic plants,
though Sinkiang Province is
reported to have rich deposits
of uranium. But so has Czech
oslovakia. the Belgian Congo
and many other states. Presi-

dent Eisenhower had in mind
a bank" involving only the
countries actually transform
ing the mineral into fashionable
materials. The Kremlin knew
this fact. In its endeavor, how
ever to consolidate perma-
nently its ties with the Chinese
Communists and to show them
that 1t is leaving no stone un-
turned to get them accepted in
the councils of world powers,
it insists that the men from
Peiping be accepted into this
plan regardless of the merits
of their case.
1t now is obvious to our pol
icy planners that the major
diplomatic problem in the
course of this year will be to
defeat RuSSia'S efforts to ram
down the Threats of the free
world it's most important and
largest satellite, the so-called
Chinese Peoples Republic.
The defense and security
problems in the Pacific are at
least as great as those across
the Atlantic in as far as we are
concerned. The American peo-
pie feel that they cannot &C
cept the bloody outstretched
hand of the terroristic Peiping
regime, The acceptance of
Red China as a member of the
so-called peace-loving nations
would be such a blow to our
policies in the Far East. on
which we have spent tens of
thousands of lives and many
billions of this country's sub
stance in the last four years,
that within a short time we
would lose all remaining
friends in Asia.
But our position on this
vital question does not find
any takers among our allies.

David Lawrence

What Is Russia's game?
What are her plans and inten-
tionS?
All speeches coming out of
the Communist ranks. includ-
ing addresses by both Malen-
kov and Molotov in the last
few days, indicate a desire to-
avoid a hot war and even to
put an end to the "cold war"
Why should Malenkov en-
phaSize that. with the exist
ence of modern means Of de-
struction, a third world war
would mean destruction Of civ
ilization"? The answer Is that
he wishes his own people not
to believe the cries from the
free world that Soviet Russia
has aggressive intentions. Also.
he is impressed with Americas
growing armament program.
He doesn't want the big atomic
war.
Is Russia, therefore. inter
ested primarily in the pursuit
of the "cold war;" which thus
far has added nearly 600 mill
lion persons to the side of
the Communists in Europe and
Asia without involving a single
regiment of Soviet troops? The
answer is that the cold war"
offers further opportunities for
inflltration of free countries
and also for the acquisition
of important raw materials
needed in the next five years
for the Soviet armament pro-
gram.
Does Russia concede that it
wants to pursue the "cold
war? OF course not. Reiter-
ating that its intentions are
peaceful at all times. the
spokesman for Soviet Russia
who succeeded Stalin-Premier
Malenkov-now says that So
Wet Russia takes a strong
stand against the policy of a
cold war"
Where is the cold war"
being fought today? In Italy,
in France and in Great Britain,
in India and in the Near East.
and also in Africa and Latin
America as well as within the
United States.
Just what is the cold war?
It is a method of warfare in
side free countries which seeks.
through Communist-front Or
CARNATIONS and through po-
litical influence. to gain con-
troll of governments or at least
to influence the trend Of their
policies.

In the Submerged Oil Lands Cose; 2 Notobe Dissents

Any one Of the eight judges
participating in this matter
(Chief Justice Warren did not
take part) may properly be
presumed to be a better con-
stitutional lawyer than any
average layman. And six
judges may know more law
than two. But there is moth
ing to prevent any layman
from being more impressed by
the reasoning of the two dis
senters in this case than by
that of the majority. After
all, some of our great justices

sition through the production
of more consumer goods.
What Is the American Gov
eminent doing in the cold
war;? Mostly 1t Is carrying on
"a propaganda through radio
and public statements by Gov
eminent officials here. but 1t is
weakened by left wing" pres
sure inside the United States
to bring about the recognition
of the government of Red
China, even though 1t has been
declared an aggressor by the
United Nations. Once Red
China is admitted to the
United Nations, the prestige of
the United States all over the
world will be gravely damaged
in the "cold war"
What about the hot spot In
the cold war"-Indo China?
This is the trump card of the
Soviets. They see the French
anxious to pull out and they
see the Parliament in Paris di-
vided through Communist in
fluence, and they see all of
Southeast Asia soon falling
into the hands of the Soviets
once Indo China is sur
rendered by a phony armistice
setup like Korea.
What about Korea? The
Soviets have no intention Of
agreeing to the settlement Of
the Korean issues because, by
an indefinite postponement,
they can keep begged down in
the Far East American mill
tary forces which might be
needed in Europe in a sudden
emergency.
On balance, the Soviets hold
a strong position in the cold
war;" and they are receiving
at the moment their greatest
stimulus from the operations
of the American cleft wing"
and its auxiliaries here and
abroad who are pooh-poohing
the Communist menace Of in
filtration inside the United
States and who regularly de-
nounce penetrating investiga-
tons hitherto conducted by
congressional committees.
The cold war" on the
whole. goes we'll for Soviet
Russia, and that's the war
Moscow is most eager to win
because it is less expensive
in men and money than a
third world war of the atomic
variety.
