I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY Elaine Townsend Dickerson

of our friends. Just this week Mrs.
Edward Hurley died. Mrs. Hurley
played so graciously for our we'd
ding, just as she so often did for
me when | sang solos in the church.
Those of US in Junior Choir when
she. was. organist for the Avenue
Methodist Church were all so fond
of this lovely lady. We all will miss
her greatly.
During the seven years my sister
has been married and lived in Har-
rington, | have met so few of her
friends over there, because for the
past four years / have been with
Hayes In the Air Force" Tomor-
row morning Anne has invited her
friends in for coffee and this will
be the time for me to meet them.
Coffees are such a nice way to en-
tertain-all formality seems to be
forgotten and you can just enjoy
yourself having your morning bev-
erage minced in with friendly con-
versation.
The news from Africa this week
is that Hayes anticipated spending
last weekend in Casablanca. He
planned to make the trip by train
and | will be anxious to hear i'm
future letters about the country
farther to the north of Marrakech
and If he met anyone at the CAS-
BAH. IL is in Casablanca, isn't il?
/ laughed at his description OF
the Arab boy who keeps their quar-
ters clean for them. tThere are four
officers sleeping in Hayes Dallas
hut.) He said the Arab made mo-
tions to him, trying to find out il
he flew in jet. His limitations OF
jet were quite good and appar-
emily Hayes broke right out
laughing, since he could readily
understand that the Arab was i'm
awe of the flying jet. The only
word the Arab speaks is 20. X"
and apparently uses it in the oldest
times.
Maybe I'll have more to tell you
about Casablanca next week.
Always,
Elaine Townsend Dickerson

Veterans Administration
INFORMATION SERVICE
Questions and Answers

Il have just been discharged
from the armed forces with a
disability. | have applied to
VA for service-connected COM
pensation. If and when l am
placed on the rolls, l intend
to get a permanent GI insur-
ance policy available to dis
abled Korea veterans. But in
the meantime, / would like to
be covered with insurance. Is
there any thing can do now?
Yes. You may obtain the spe-
cial Korean CT term insurance
available to all Korea vet
erans-if you act within 120
days following your discharge.
Then, after VA rules that your
disability is service-connected,
you may apply for the per-
manent insurance. Meanwhile,
you will have been covered by
the special term policy.
II have been out of service for
a year. / am planning to apply
to VA for disability compen-
sation. Since the armed forces
have my medical records, will
/ be required to take a physical
examination?
You will be required to take
a VA physical examination, un-
der some circumstances, only
for veterans who apply for
compensation within six months
after their separation from
service.

ory."
But we think the good doctor
might better have told this to the
Congress, so our lawmakers can
get under wraps to quit work at
65, they may be healthy, but they'll
be long time hungry. And what
woman would cherish more or less
eternal youth, beauty and shapli-
ness if she couldn't even buy a
new hat?
There are those today who would
feel young at 65-lf Uncle Sam
would let them.
Still No Guaranteed" Wage
Whether you consider it an ex-
ample of industrial craftsmanship
or a long step toward socialism,
Walter Reuthers GAW victory sets
off another price spiral. In the
case of Ford, Mr. Reuther esti-
mates the package" he won for
his workers at 20 cents an hour,
which includes, in addition to the
epoch-making lay-off compensation
plan, annual increases of six to
eight-and-a- cents an hour for
the next three years, a boost of
nearly II per cent in the increased
cost -of-living allowance, liber-
allied pension plan and increased
employe insurance.
Thus, the contest is on among
all the other unions to equal-Or
surpass-this United Auto Workers
victory. That many will succeed
seems foregone conclusion. But
how lasting this labor triumph
remains to be SEEN Most econo-
mists see in this new principle OF
of company responsibility for laid
off workers a burden that small
| businesses can not carry, and
hence an accelerated wave of mer-
gers and an ultimate big business
economy. With this will come that
step-up in automation which Mr.
Reuther himself views with SO
much alarm.
| And while Mr.. Reuther is quite
right in his insistence that indus
try must look upon its workers
as consumers, and that their pur-
chasing power is vital to healthy
economy, there are even more
millions of us whose pay is moi
boosted by union pressure tactics
| When prices go up, we buy less
And no matter how high union
wages are, there is less work tC
| do.
Perhaps the automobile industry
can deliver it's new package to
its workers and the same package
at the same price, to its customers
But certainly there are not many
industries that can boost the pay
roll and not the price tag. If union

opinion as to the government of
China-whether Nationalistic under
Chang Kai-shek, or Communistic
under Chou and his gangsters-we
must realize that Formosa in
herently is a part of China. Whe-
ther the Communists want to lib
crate it or "enslave" it is de-
batable. From a strategic viewpoint,
the United States and Japan should
not allow Formosa to get into the
clutches of Communist China.
Importance OF Patience
One of the chief lessons l have
learned from Madame Chang kai-
shek is the Importance of patience
and of avoiding giving ultimatums.
Human nature is the same on both
sides of the conflict and if ''the ball
can be kept in the air. long enough
most problems will solve them
selves. Many serious problems are
solved by leaders becoming older
and finally lying. (Today's Bible
reading is Psalms, 49th Chapter,
which has given me the inspir-
alton to write this column.)
To apply the above philosophy to
the Formosa problem,-it may be
impcs sible to get satisfactory
settlement as long as Ciang kai-
shek is in the saddle. If. however,
he should be removed by death or
become incapacitated Che is about
70, and has had hard life), l
forecast that President Eisenhower

many readers are worrying about
Formosa and China that at this
time, when the Worlds Biggest
World" is being dedicated here,
l take the liberty of discussing
Asiatic problems. First, let me say
that / have never met Chang Kai-
shek, but / have known Madame
Chang, who attended Wellesley
College, which is only two miles
from the Babson Great Globe and
Institute. She is remarkable wo-
man of the highest character and
keenest insight; she has great in
fiuence with him. He was a poor
boy when he married her; but a
determined type like the late Henry
Ford and a very great man.
History OF FOrmOsa
When forecasting the future of
any country, it is we'll to recognize
the history as we'll as the present
status Formosa is a large island,
about the size of Massachusetts
and Connecticut, lying 100 miles
east of China. A mountain range
runs north and south, with fer
tile plains to the west A combi-
nation of heat and moisture gives
it marvellous crops; it produces
gold, silver, copper, oil, coal and
uranium. Population is about g.
100000, mostly of cid CT inese de-
scent.
This great island was originally
settled by the Dutch, who were
expelled by the Chinese during the
seventeenth century. 1t was taken
by the Japanese in 1895. who held
it until the close of World War
III, when, in 1945, it was ceded
back to China. Whatever our

Chang Kai-Shek, Formosa, And Business Outlook

International Conference will prob
ably amount to nothing and the
possibility of World War III will
be hanging over us for many years,
yet the best advices are that World
War III is not to be feared. None
of the big nations, including Rus
sia and China, now want World
War III; but the threat of using
the H-Bomb will constantly be
used to blackmail the Democracies.
With the cost of manufacturing
H-Bombs constantly becoming less,
every nation will have some, en-
abling revolutionary forces in these
nations to get them. Some crazy
dictator may try to conquer the
world with them; but, if so, he
would be quickly subdued. This
would be an opportunity for the
United Nations to fulfill its real
mission.
All the above means that our
defense program may gradually be
curtailed and this Federal money
be used for the building of roads,
hospitals, schools, and especially
the new industry of Urban Re-
development. Uranium oxide is be-
ing found almost everywhere, and
could also help stave OF the So
called inevitable" depression. /
still believe in the business cycle;
but its duration is now determined
by politics. Therefore, let us forget
the troubles which we read so
much about. Let us concentrate on
our own business and make better
products for less money and sell
them all over the world. This is
the most practical kind of patriotic
service we can render.
