I imagine he ought to be good
for a pretty good piece Of
change. I am kind of fouled
up this week. Tomorrow. let's
see-today is Tuesday. Thurs
day night is my wedding ami
versary. and I have to take the
wife out to dinner and a show
Thursday night. I would rather
it be next week. I don't care
what day it is. ! don't know
how soon it is going to be, but
I think I am going up to No. 10.
Thoman You're going up
there?
Prather - But that won't
change any Of the situation.
=
Prather-I talked it (the
transfer to No. 1O over with the
captain. and he said, Il think
you will be better off. Up there,
they don't have many precinct
men, and you have a good
chance of making precinct man
there" which I suppose have.
if ! get up there and satisfy
Clark. Why, I have known him
for a number of years. and. Of
course, I know he is hard to get
along with, but I have always
gotten along with him myself.
I mean, it is just some guys. I
guess he likes, and it is easier for
me to 60 along with him. Some
of them he has ridden the -
off of them, and he gets so wild
when he gets to hitting that
bottle, see, that I have always
been able to soothe him some way
when he gets like that, and
never had it with him. So I
think I could get along with
him. I don't think I will
hurt myself any, and I might
get a chance to get a pro-
motion.
Thoman-How about what's
his name up on Seventh street
in the 1900 block? -
Prather-Oh, Hook Nose? {.
Yes, he had a hell of busi-
ness up there for years you
know. Some of the up
there, you know, I know damn
we'll, but he has been very quiet.
I think he puts out a little to
the men on the beat there. Now.
the captain has been in there
and he amt never bothered him,
and I know that several of the
lieutenants go in there and they
don't bother him. So I imagine
he must be doing something for
somebody.
Thoman-He must be.
Prather-He hadn't been in
the precinct a week before he
paid him a visit. and he amt
never been back. I'll tell you
he's a funny --. The
amt got a big operation
there, but he's got a steady OPP
Grafton. I'll tell you the kind
of business he has got. You
know, you know the principal
of the school at Eighth and
T. Every morning that
is in there playing his horses.
Now, I used to stand right
on the corner and watch
him, and he says. Good morn
ing, good morning, good morn
ing" and walks on. But that
is the type of movement he has
got.
Prather-I will get in touch
with this boy .here, Anderson,
because I figure he ought to be
all right. He has gone out of
his way to try and get me to
do something for him. 1t sounds
like a good proposition to me.
Thoman-Don't sound bad.
Prather-Get two or three &C
counts like that and you will
be in good shape.

Doubts on Amy Genuine Relocation
OF World Tension Voiced by KnowIond
CONSTANTINE BROWN

The luster of the Geneva
accomplishment begins to
wear of somewhat in Con-
gress. The doubts over the
efficacy Of the goodwill" ac-
complishments for q genuine
relaxation Of the international
situation were voiced last
Thursday on the Senate floor
by Minority Leader Know
land. Contrary to expecta-
tons the Californian did not
speak about the risks Of our
talks at ambassadorial level
and the planned Dulles Chou
En-lai meeting. This may
come later. He merely tried to
debunk in q parliamentary
manner the "cordiality binge"
on which the Western world
seems to have embarked after
the summit parley.
Senator Knowland agreed
that the Geneva conference
"as an exploratory meeting,
was a success" Unfortunately
many exploratory operations
performed by the most skillful
surgeons do not necessarily
cure the patient but give him
only a temporary breathing
spell. And unless the most
painStaking care is given him,
the patient may pass away.
Like a number of his col
leagues, Senator Knowland
fears that the smiles and the
double-talk Of the Kremlin
leaders, whom he described
as a syndicate" conceal the
sinister plan of getting the
Western nations, and America
in particular, to slow down
their defensive re-armament
programs. And herein lies the
greatest danger of the present
cordially binge."
Our allies in Europe-ex-
cept for Turkey and Spain
are already moving with re-
markable slowness with their
military programs. The French
are using their meager combat

is looking over her shoulders.
Despite the determination Of
Chancellor Adenauer to live up
to the Bonn Republics COM
mitments the wind Of neutral
ism has spread in that coun-
try. too
For the time being there is
no opposition in this country
to spending heavily on our
armed forces, which are the
only defense against the Red
threat, as real today as it has
been in the past. But words
and empty gestures from our
enemies could lull us into
sleep despite the views to the
contrary by the executive
branch Of the Government.
The friendliness displayed
by the Muscovites at the pres
ent time is taken by and large
at its face value by the Ameri-
can people. There is no ques-
ton that the visit of a number
of handpicked Russian farm
ers has made a favorable i'm
preston in the Middle West.
This might be increased ten
fold If, for instance, Vice
President Nixon were to visit
Moscow, where he would be
given the red carpet treat
ment: and would be further
increased II Marshals Bulganin
and Zhukov were to visit the
United States. They are al
ready angling for such invita-
tions.
On the surface there can be
no harm in such exchange Of
courtesies. But while the Rus
slams show no desire to solve
what Senator Knowland de-
scribed as the ''basic problems
Of Europe and Asia" their
smiling faces might create an
