A WORD FOR
TODAY {.
BY FLOYD RoNGsTAD

In your circle of friends, rela-
tives, and acquaintance = may
be someone who has suffered a
crushing experience in life from
which they have never fully re-
covered. An illness, accident, or
other misfortune; the blow so
great, that they lost the will to
fight on consequently they
just drift along with the tide of
time" victim of circum-
stances" On the other hand,
there are those who have turned
circumstances" and obstacles" in
to stepping stones and climbed to
the pinnacle of success.
l have heard discouraged ones
cry thru tears, "What's the use
of tryinge" 1t, is tragic when one
loses heart and hope F. it is to
them that this-and other mes
sages to follow is written.
A certain friend of mine, was
a carpenter by trade. Being a
family-man, he had to keep his
nose to the old grindstone--as the
saying goes land who Doesn't
Then suddenly he was stricken
with pneumonia.
He was a very sick man {.
bedridden for weeks; and it was
months before he was able to re-
sumo normal activity. 1t was a
trying experience. l used TO visit
him during his convalescence and
encourage him in his fight to re-
gain health =. but it was long,
hard battle, for him.
One evening l visited him =
first time in a week - he was
sitting up, and very cheeful.
"Well, Bill, you're looking much
better" 1 ventured, show do
you feel?"
Hard to BREATHE" he answered
with effort, doc says Pm comm
along good as can be expected"
We talked for a while about his
condition-then l noticed a large
piece of cardboard on the bed.
After a bit he picked it up. 81

he said, turning it up for me to
see. 1t was beautifully-pencilled
sketch of a windjammer under
full sail. 1 gazed at it in admira-
ton.
"Where'd you get that" l asked.
"Oh, 1 copied it from this" he
replied, handing me a reprint of
a famous painting.
"Bill :. didn't know you were
an artist" 1 answered, surprised.
l didn't either" he grinned,
"but l couldn't just lay here and
do nothing -. this was something
to do 1 found out l could
draw!"
Months passed. Bill slowly re-
covered strength; during that

State and county allotments,
Godfrey explains, are based upon
wheat acreages of the last 10
years, with consideration for
weather and trends. Farm acreage
alIotments are based on the wheat
acreages of the past three years,
with consideration for tillable
acres, crop rotations, type of soil,
and other factors. This, he ex-
plains, accounts for the changes
in state, county and farm allot-
ments from one year to the next.

Pilot tried to keep
 plane iron, crashing into dwellings

FAIRBANKS (P) The last few seconds of Lieut.. Alfred M. Founders life apparently was spent in a desperate and futile attempt to keep his plane from plunging into an Eielson air force base housing area.
 The Monticello, Miss, pilot of an F84 jet fighter plane failed and he and 12 other per sons died Tuesday noon in the flaming wreckage of his plane and six multiple-family hous- es on the air base. A four teenth victim succumbed to burns yesterday.
 The story of the pilu's her oic struggle came first from an unidentified air force sergeant who reported he was strolling by base headquarters when he was surprised by the jet roar ing overhead, it's wing dipping deeply in a sharp turn.
 "The pilot was struggling with the controls" the ser geant said. You could tell he| was trying to avoid the build ings."
 Air force investigators con- cured with this version. They said the direction of the plane indicated the pilot had been to maneuver it out of ! the housing area. He missed clearing it by only a few yards.
 The toll might have been higher if it hadn't been for the

CHICAGO (P) Alaska will have four delegates to the 1856 Republican national convention under an apportionment plan adopted by the COP national committee today. This is a boost of one over 1852.
 Hawaii will have 10, an in- crease of two. The delegates for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands remained the same -- three and one.
 Under the plan, the south will have a bigger voice in sell ecting the Republican nominees for president and vice presi1- ent.
 The total of delegates was boosted from the 1,206 in 1852 to 1928. Of the TIT net gain, 13 southern and border states picked up a total of 96 deleg- ates.
 Texas, which went for Pre- sident Eisenhower in 1852, had it's delegation increased from 38 to 54. The southern state is now topped in delegate strength only by California, Illinois, New York, Ohio and Pennsyl- vania.
 California will have 70 dele- gates, Washington 24 and Ore- gon Is - he same as in 1852.

Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts Associated Press News Analyst

Outer Mongolia, which is causing such a lhassle in the Un tied Nations, was the first post-revolu.ionary objective of Russia's eNpansionist policy.
 u is almost as much a part of Russia as is The Ukraine. In- deed, the Ukrainians have giv- en greater evidence of desire for freedom than have the Mon gols. aaIG
 Russian agents staged re- volution in Outer Mongolia 31 years ago, and I.he Reds have held it ever since.
 Admitting Outer Mongolia to the United Nations would be very like the separate represen tation allowed The Ukraine. Puerto Rico has far greater au- tonomy.
 For centuries all Mongolia was, for all intents and purpos- es, a part of China. Inner Mon golia, into which the Reds also infiltrated, is now being rein corporated into Red China with Russian consent.
 During the war Chiang Kali Shek wrote book, suppressed for a time at Allied insistence, outlining his demands for re- turn of territories lost by Chi na over the long years. He wanted Hong Kong, part of Burma and. among dvher things all of Mongolia. It's Chinese, he said, stretching the point lit tie.
 But the objective has always been a part of Chinese policy, um.il the Reds made their deal with Moscow. Now Chiang is refusing to admit, by permit ting U. IN. membership, that the area is independent. He clings to his claims, just as he does regarding the mainland of China.
 The United States feels much the same way, but is willing to admit Auter Mongolia and -four other Red nations as part of package deal under which Rus sia would withhold the veto on admission of 13 non-com- munist nations. Some of them of considerable importance.
 There is great deal of re- sentiment over the Nationalist Chinese stand among dher JUN delegations. Some are remind ing forcefully that the Nation alists themselves are threaten ed with loss of membership through recognition of the fact that the Red regime at Peiping actually controls all China ex- cept Formosa.
 The Nationalists have no chance whatever of ever con-
