New York Driver
Injured Sunday

Claude Aughtman, of Niagara
Falls, New York, was seriously in
iured here at 4:30 am. Sunday
when his auto struck the signal
light standard at the New York
Central Crossing on West High
Street. Police believe he dozed at
the wheel A son, Tyrone, age II,
in the auto, was not injured.
Aughtman was given first aid at
the Halterman Hospital and trans
ferred to Doctors Hospital in Co
lumbus, where plastic surgery
was performed on facial injuries.
The frequency and severity of
accidents occurring at this site has
prompted the police to study the
possibility of removing the signals
from the center of the highway.
Police say the standard constitu-
tes a real hazard, even for the
most careful of drivers.

HAZARD
The reason there are SO
many reckless drivers on the
highways is because nobody
cares what happens to an
automobile that doesn't belong
to him-yet!
ELMO
Elmo the Great says that
women are unpredictable
you never know just how they
are going to make you miser-
able.
FACT
Like the Bible says, it is
hard for a rich man to get in
to Heaven but it is getting in
creasingly more difficult for
poor man to remain on earth.
AMERICA
This is the only country in
the world where, if you are
too stupid to answer the $64,-
600 Question, they give you a
Cadillac.
CHRISTMAS
Christmas is the time of
year when some people get all
lit up after first getting trim
med.
HuMNNl
A lot of fellows who think
the, boss is a dummy ought to
realize that he would be out of
a job if the boss was any
smarter.
CURE
If you want to cure any or
all ailments just mix Pepsi
Cola with clear gasoline. The
mixture not only hits the spot
lit also wipes it out entirely.
YOUTH
Some juvenile delinquents
are just kids who are left
alone while Nom and Pop go
to the P.-T.A. meeting.
PoLLYTicks
1t is getting so that man
who makes himself clear on a
subject is not considered a
good prospect for reelection.
LIVING
Our idea of a crazy mixed
up kid is guy who has the
world by the tail If he
doesn't want his brains knock
ed out, he'd better let go.
MONEY
Every man a millionaire"
isn't too far off. Of course, he
won't be able to buy anything
with it by that time.
KID STUFF
Teacher: And now can any,
one tell me what animal with
horns can be ridden by almost

Out in Oklahoma, an Indian

quest that his name be chang

To which question the In

POSER
We don't have a color tee
wee but we saw a production

COMPARISON
Ted Williams signed a base
ball contract last year for

have only $4,000 after taxes
while Ruth had $68,535
Initiation has also set in sc
that Williams can purchase
but a third of what Ruth coul6
have purchased in 1881. Il
Williams were to have the

had in 1881, he would have tt

Nevins Confirms Buying
Farm Next 10 Presidents

YORK, Pa, Mar. 30 (R.-
Brig. Gen. Arthur S. Nevins, a
close friend of President Eisen-
hover and superintendent of his
farm near Gettysburg, confirmed
last night that he is purchasing
a 160-acre farm next to the
Presidents.
The retired Army officer would
not confirm, however, a report
that he was purchasing the farm
for the President. He told re-
porter it is none of your busi-
ness" when asked about the
report.
| Gen. Nevins, who said he
would take over the 160-acre
farm May S, denied also that
he had been negotiator in be-
half of the President in the pur-
chase of the present 124-acre
Eisenhower property.
The Nevins farm is imme-
diately northwest of the Eisen-
hover farm and includes a
woodland and stream, Will

Constantine Brown

The personal suggestion OF
Senator Walter George. highly
respected elder statesman and
chairman of the Foreign Rela-
lions Committee, for an early
Big Four conference has found
no takers in responsible quar-
tiers in Washington or Lon
don. President Eisenhower has
already rejected it as prema-
ture.
The basic thought of Sena-
tor George is far from realities.
He hoped that an American
approach might affect the So
Wet stand in the explosive Far
Eastern situation and that in
exchange for a top-level meet
ing the Kremlin might stay the
hand of Chou En-lai.
The harsh fact is that the
men in the Kremlin want a
conference with the Western
leaders only if they feel it will
help them toward their own
goals. The Berlin conference
a year ago proved this amply.
We accepted reluctantly the
proposition of Sir Anthony
Eden and Georges Bidault to
meet with the Russians to dis
cuss only a peace treaty for
Germany and Austria Before
leaving for Berlin, Secretary
of State Dulles assured the
American people that this was
our only objective.
The Russians had entirely
different thoughts. Comrade
Molotov showed what he in
tended to do when he brought
representatives of the Peiping
regime to East Berlin. Within
a few days he switched the sub
ject of the discussions to a five
power conference on Indo-
China and Korea. Indo-C China
was then the next victim on
the Red list. Molotov succeed
ed in ramming down the throat
of our Secretary the idea of
another conference to be held
a few months later at Geneva.
The British and French for
eign ministers, to use an &C
curate though undiplomatic
expression, ganged up on us

Congress would both win in
1856.
Democratic successes at the
grass roots last year are the
principal reason for the calcu-
lation that divided government
will endure even though the
President Is the Republican
candidate. Their progress in
the courthouses was at first
obscured by the raZor-edge
margin in the Senate and a
House majority which fell be-
low the calculations Of the
campaign. 49,. -.
But it was recently brought
before the Republican National
Committee by Senator Gold
water, chairman of the G. OF
Senate Campaign Committee.
and before Republicans gener-
ally in a speech Vice President
Nixon made to party workers
in California. Both men stress
present party dependence on
Mr.. Eisenhower for victory in
1856. They realize, too. that
the legal life of the President
as a political asset is little more
than five more years at the
most.
The year 1856 also puts that
third of the Senate up for re-
election in which Southerners
are most numerous, giving
Democrats an advantage.

Russia NotReody to Meet West
Soviets Will Come to Big Four Conference Only if They
Expect Such Meeting to Promote Their Own Wishes

and compelled us to accept the
Soviet demand. We were in
terested in ratification of the
European Defense Community
Foreign Minister Bidault con-
WINGED Mr.. Dulles that this
could not be obtained until the
Indo- China question was out OF
the way.
But the French surrendered
at Geneva, the EDO was de-
feated and the Communists
had their own way.
The Kremlin under the lead
erShip of Marshal Bulganin
and Nikita Khrushchev is far
less eager than was Georgi
Malenkov for a Big Four pow
WOW. We have ample informa-
ton that if they agree to a
meeting it will be only on con-
dition that Chou is included.
The main topic to be discussed
would be our withdrawal"
from Formosa.
The objective of the Reds in
Moscow and Peiping is not
peace, but a peaceful surrender
of the free nations to their
domination. They would pre-
fer this to the possibility of an
armed encounter in which they
fear they may come out only
second best. But they have
learned since the cold war
started that an adamant stand
can yield rich dividends. There
are enough chicken-hearted
souls and genuine devotees OF
peace at any price" among
their adversaries to confirm
this Red belief.
The Moscow and Peiping
dictators are clearly aware OF
the allied reluctance to win a
decisive victory in Korea and
to do anything about armistice
breaches. And the fact that
America, which in the past
has been a stern protector OF
it's citizens, has not reacted
with deeds to liberate the
prisoners of war still held by
Peiping gives further assur-
ance to our enemies.
The Chinese Reds intended
the falling of II men in uni
