Dear Friends:
Right after | finish this letter
to you my two girls and | are
heading for Slaughter Beach and
our first swim for this year. In the
four weeks | have been away from
Topeka, this seems the first warm
day I've felt. In two weeks we will
be moving to Slaughter Beach and
the children are certainly looking
forward to our months stay in the
Reese Jester cottage. One of the
first things / packed into our sta
tion wagon getting ready to come
home were three life jackets. Two
are for our children and we have
one for a little guest "non-swim-
mer." Hayes didn't want to be
worrying about our children in the
Delaware Bay while he was on his
African TIDY, and the life jackets
were a must"
Didn't you feel sympathetic to-
ward the brides whose wedding day
was last Saturday the 11th? have
never seen such a wet day, not
even in Kansas where they have
such a conglomeration of weather
IL months of the year. / was in
vited to Rehoboth that day to a
luncheon given by Miss Mary Emily
Miller and Miss Elizabeth Jane
Gerow in honor of Miss Ruth Ann
Stevenson, who will be new bride
in just ten days. 1t was certainly
a messy" day, but a wonderful
day to be with friends for a delic-
ious luncheon and to see those
people in town and out-of-towr
whom you just can't manage to see
as often as you wish. Thanks to
Ruth Ann, | have met such nice
girls from Frederick. 1t seems toe
bad that we have lived not too fan
from each other all these years anC
Just become acquainted.
Speaking of weddings Sat

New Improvements

The original idea of a swift,
touch-and-go meeting of the Big
Four heads of government at the
summit" seems to be expanding
like the sponge for grandma s
weekend baking. We can hope the
result will be as wholesome,
First, of course, there is now
to be that New York conference lat
the foreign minister level between
Secretary of State Dulles, British
Foreign Secretary Macmillan and
French Foreign Minister Pinay,
June 16, II and 18. London is now
cooking up a preliminary sum
NIT" session of the Big Three
chiefs of state to review the for
eign ministers huddle and take a
! last look at Soviet maneuvering and
suspected strategy before flying
on to Geneva for the super-duper
clam bake of them all. The Lon
don confab, it is said, could prob
ably be polished off in a single
afternoon But at latest report
there is fear that the French might
take a dim view of the Western
Olympians having tea in London
and failing to drop in Paris for at
least an aperitif.
And then too, the Kremlin's in
vitation to German Chancellor Con-
rad Adenauer to drop in for a chat
| injects a new element into the
proceedings. This angle is pointed
up by those Germans who are
+, thinking that Geneva might be a
pleasanter meeting-place than Mos
cow especially if their talks were
coinaidental with the summit"
conference. Thus, the route to
Geneva could we'll include a stop
at Bonn to pick up fourth head
of state.
AS long as the summit" con-
| ference is now inevitable, and the
solidarity of the West-particularly
| Germany's contribution thereto
| is the obvious Soviet target, a Big
| Five meeting should have some
advantages over a Big Four con-
| ference.
Changes Needed

Restricting The Right To Work
In spite of the Presidents press
conference of his recommendation
for a 80 cents an hour wage law,
the Senate a few hours later passed
the Democratic bill raising the
national minimum wage from rs
cents to $1.00 an hour. The CIO
had urged $1.25.
This would have been more
serious matter for the fact that
the Presidents recommendations
for broader coverage were also ig-
nored and omitted from the bill,
leaving wholesale and retail work.
ers, farmers and farm hands, and
various others excluded. For, a.
mong the facts of life of which
politicians seem unaware, is the
unfortunate truth that there are
many thousands of working Ameri-
cans to whom an employer could
not profitably pay $1.G0 an hour.
would simply deny them employ
ment.
The wage for which a free-born
American will work should still be
his own business.
Un.American Air Academy
Since the cream of American
youth will be attending the Air
Forces long-awaited Air Academy,
and we, as taxpayers, will foot the
$126, 100000 bill, it would be nice
to think this West Point of the
Air will be the finest example OF
American architecture that We can
produce.
Unfortunately this does not
seem to be the case. The Air Force
recently unveiled a model of its
dream" academy as designed by
a firm of modern" architects. One
congressman said it looked like a
cigarette factory" Famous archi-
teci Frank Lloyd Wright called
it a violation of Nature" and a
factory for birdmen." The chapel
design, a metal-and-glass creation
that looked like an accordian, was
withdrawn quickly when church
men protested.
The balance of the design-con-
sisting of stark-looking buildings
of aluminium, glass and steel-was
left in a shadowy state. Secretary
of Air Harold Talbot said the de-
sign really wasn't in final form, al
though the Air Force had just an
nounced construction would begin

MORE FREEDOM TO COMPETE

The report of the Presidential Advisory
Committee on Transport Policy and Organ
izatlon, which was prepared at the CABINET
level, is one of the most thorough and con-
structive work of it's kind we have seen IN
many years.
The report recommends lengthy list of
changes in our transportation policies and
regulatory laws. Four of these are of prime
Importance and if adopted, will assure the
shipping and travelling public of the best pos
sible service at the lowest practical cost.
First, the declaration of policy in the
Interstate Commerce Act should be revised
to make it clear that common carriers of all
types are to be permitted greater freedom
to compete in pricing their services; that
economic regulation be reduced to a mini
mum consistent with the public interest, and
that fair and impartial economic regulation
be assured.
Second, increased reliance should be
placed on competitive forces in rate making
as "the cornerstone of modernized regu-
latory program"
Third, this increased reliance on cOmpe-
tition is to be safegdarded by the power of
the Interstate Commerce Commission to pre-
vent carriers from charging rates which are
either unreasonably high or unreasonably
low, and by retaining unchanged the pro-
visions of existing law which forbid discrim-
inatiOn and preference.
Fourth, the ices power to suspend a pro-
posed rate should be continued but on a more
restricted basis, and should be considered
as a special and unusual remedy
In sum- the Presidential Advisory Com
mittee proposes that the law recognize plain
fact-that competition is intense among the
various carriers, and that greater freedom
to compete in the field of price is definitely
in the public interest

Armed Forces Anniversary

The 5th anniversary of Armed Forces Day will
be celebrated on Fl May 1866 The Confederation
of this event by all Of the branches Of the Armed
Forces is in accord with the unificaon of the Ser
vices This joint celebration is intended to symbolic
unificaton, to demonstrate the close working rela-
tonship Of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps Air
Force, Coast Guard, and Reserve components, and
give the public an annual report the state of the
Nations defense forces
By Presidential proclamation, the Third Satur-
day in May has been named Armed Forces Day.
This year. the Armed Forces Day slogan will remain
as it has been for a few years past. POWER FOR
PEACE is the true representation of the standards
and preparedness of the Armed Forces.
Once again. the American public is invited to
visit the various Antaircraft installations through
out the Boston metropolitan area Records show that
in the past the public has taken active interest
in previous celebrations. In 1858, more than 500
"open house" programs at installations in the Unit
ed States and overseas were attended by than
four million persons In 1854 more than two thous-
and such Open House" programs attracted more
than seven million visitors The great interest shown
by the public in the past strengthens the belief that
active interest by the people in their Armed Forces
is major factor in the morale of those serving their
nation. An informed public is strong public.
