 Veterans with Complaints
 On Housing Told of Warranty
 Veterans who purchased hous- es through Veterans Administra- ton guaranteed or insured loans, and who subsequently, have found certain construction fea- lures which they consider sub- standard, are reminded by VA that houses bought after October l, 1854, carried a warranty for one year that the homes meet VA approved plans and specifi- cations.
 The one-year warranty requir- ed on all houses on which VA issued a certificate of reasonable value after October ', is manda- tory under the Housing Act of 1854, which says that all new housing purchased with the aid of VA or Federal Housing Ad- ministration financing must carry the warranty. VA reminds vet erans, however, that the warran- ty does not apply to existing homes which have been occupied more than a year.

Grange Plans Dance For Colony Day Eve

As part of the Colony Day cele- bration planned in Palmer for May 29, the Northland Pioneer Grange will stage a Colony Day eve dance on May 28, it was an- nounced this week.
 This will open a celebration that will mark the 20th anniver- Sary of the colonization of the Matanuska Valley.

 For those who get hungry in the middle of a celebration, there is to be a free barbeque, featur- ing valley grown beef. Food con- sessions will be operated on the fairgrounds by local organiza- tfons and a souvenir booklet, tell ing the story of the colonization, will be available to all visitors.

 VA reminds veterans dissatis- fled with construction that they must file notice of substantial non-conformance with plans and specifications" with the builder or seller within one year from the date the veteran takes title, or the house is initially occupied, whichever is the earlier. VA em- phasized that the one-year war ranty is in addition to any other rights and privileges purchaser or owner may have under any other law or istrument. It will be up to the purchase, VA said, to enforce ms rights under the war ranty.
 QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
 Q. Where may l obtain the forms required to apply for a CT home loan?
 A. You should be able to ob- tain the necessary forms from your lender. Lenders who do not have the forms may get them from their nearest VA Regional Office.

POSTAL PAY
Hills No. I Soop Opero
Ends on $3.50 Question:
Ruise or Not to Raise?

The best little mystery play OF
the 1855 season was building up
to third.act denouement last week
Entitled rs. l, Bill to Increase
Pay of Postal Workers." the drama
awaited the answer to this question:
Will the President kill the raise
at the 11th hour?
The outcome was a well-kept
secret. A year ago the President
pocket-vetoed a similar bill, saying
he would not approve such an in
crease unless steps were taken to
raise postal rates. This year he re-
Tented to the extent of approving
in advance a 5 per cent pay in
crease. His spokesmen later said
he would go as high as 7.6 per cent.
But last week House and Senate
conferees approved an 8.8 Ger cent
boost-a compromise between the
Senate's 10 per cent figure and the
Houses 8.3. 1t seemed likely that
both House and Senate would ap-
prove the compromise. Congress has
shown no sign, meanwhile, of in
creaSing postal rates.
What would the President do?
His close friends on Capitol Hill had
said he would veto anything over
7.6 per cent. Last week at his press
conference, however, he left it all
UP in the air. He said only that
he would study" the bill very care
fully.

EUROPE
Things Are Looking Up
As West German and
Austrian Situations JeII

Free world strategy in Europe
reached the payoff stage last week.
On Thursday in Bonn, West Ger
many regained her sovereignty and
Immediately lined up with the anti
Communist North Atlantic COM
munity. She joins the NATO Coun-
Gil of Ministers tomorrow in Paris.
That -climaxes three years of striv-
ing. against not only Communist
obstruction but French emotionalism
as well, to bring the widely feared
Germans into the Western camp.
And in Vienna the Soviet Union
made concession after concession to
the Western Big Three on issues
which have held up Austria's inde-
pendence-and prolonged the Red
occupation-for years. Now all for
eign troops seem likely to leave
Austria by the end Of the year.
The treaty may be signed next week.
With these victories apparently
IN the bag, the West was preparing
for the next round on reunification
Of Germany.
Negotiations are expected to get
under way late this summer, when
Big Four foreign ministers likely
will meet in Switzerland. Fifteen
NATO foreign ministers, including
Secretary Dulles, are in Paris now
to discuss strategy which can be de-
veloped from the Vests new position

BRICKER
1o55-ModeI Dulles,
1o52-ModeI Dulles
Differ Markedly

Back in 1852, when John Foster
Dulles was just dreaming Of being
Secretary of State, he told the
American Bar Association:
1.-The treaty-making power Is an
extraordinary power. liable to abuse.
Treaties can override the Con-
stitution and they can cut
across the rights given the people
by the constitutional Bill of Rights"
When the Republicans came into
power, Senator John w. Bricker,
Republican, of Ohio offered con-
stitutional amendment which would
close the loophole Mr.. Dulles de-
scribed. It would give Congress and
the States the final say on whether
international agreements affecting
internal law would have any force
or effect. The amendment was, for
the second year, getting close at
tention from the Senate.
But last week Secretary Dulles
told the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee:
II do not question the sincerity
of those who fear that our Con-
stitution might hereafter fail us.
But cannot believe that those
fears have sufficient basis to justify
those provisions of the proposed
amendment which would mean re-
verting to a situation comparable
to that which existed under the
Articles of Confederation"
Lest this seem like case Of
whose OK was being gored, Mr..
Dulles said he mad learned some
thing" since 1852. He had learned

pseudo military titles, for in
stance, for economic programs.
Every dime Of the $3.5 billion is
listed under one of six titles:
I. Mutual Defense Assistance, $1.4
billion. The ALLEGATION of this money
will be revealed only behind closed
committee doors, but it involves only
actual military hardware-the stuff
that shoots.
III. Direct Forces Support, $317.2
million. This is non-weapons mate
rial for the armed forces-uniforms.
gasoline. food, etc.
III. Defense Support, 81 billion.
These are the ordinarily ambiguous
things-aid in money, commodities
or services which permits an ally to
perform its own military commit
ments-for instance, coal shipped to
France to help operate her arma-
ment industry.
Nv. Technical Cooperation, $l72
million. This includes the diSsem-
ination of American know-how in all
fields. Title w, incidentally, is
Harry Truman's old Point w."
hitherto a dirty word in G. o. P.
circles.
v. Development Assistance, $165
million. Includes money or goods
given to supplement technical CO.
operation projects.
vi. Special Programs, $475 million.

activities, U. N. membership, etc.

the United Nations secretary gen.
eral. He said he was intensifying
his efforts to get the release of the
American-U. N. flyers who have
been jailed by Communist China
on trumped-up charges.
Apparently the smell of peace had
come his way. too He said he felt
a challenge in the air to us
who work for peace" He seemed
to hint that he might help to
arrange U. S.-China meeting on a
cease-fire If both sides show they
are willing.
The next move, however, is up to
Communist China. And there is no
reason to expect 1t. to come soon.
Chou En-lai was reported to have
been stricken with appendicitis.
American intelligence agents mod
estly refrained from taking credit
for this development, and even
Peiping Radio was strangely un-
suspicious. Which further added to
hopes that some sort Of talks about
q cease-fire in the Formosa Strait
can be arranged late this spring
or early in the summer.

ATOMIC
Nevada Bomb Goes OFF
Nine Days Late; Peace
Ship Heads for Rocks

The Civil Defense atomic blast
test went off last week as scheduled
--nine days earlier.
There were only few hundred Of
the few thousand original observers
still on hand after the long series
of postponements. But those who
did watch saw middle-sized
A-bomb, about twice the size of the
Hiroshima bomb, destroy parts Of
an artificial "city" built in the
Nevada desert. The full significance
of the test would not be known until
the various types of shelter in the
city were examined.
The Army also had some data
to study. A bevy of tanks pretended
the A-bomb was one of ours, dropped
to punch hole in enemy lines, and
they moved into the blasted area
to exploit the "breakthrough."
There were no casualties.
That was more than one could
say for another atomic program
the Presidents peace ship" The
ship itself seemed about to founder
on some sharp rocks set up by the
Joint Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy.
Testimony last week from Atomic
Energy Commission and Maritime
Administration officials said
sample atomic-powered merchant
ship would take more than two
years to build. would cost upward
Of $35 million to float and a half
million to run each year and could
be visited by only million persons
year.
