Apparently, Travel Fold

Settlers to bitter reality!
After buying One-Way

Land, they found them
selves up Mosquito Creek
without a Paddle!
The Investors, on the other
hand, continued to loll in Lon

taken, it is true, but their
position was not hopeless.
They could hope to recoup
their losses at the expense
of other Suckers. The Colon
lists had no such opportuni-

The Plymouth combine,
incidentally, was the same
company which had hook

them in hook for Cape

got an even Faster Count.
The property was just as
barren, and there was
more of it!

The simple truth is that one

it was perfectly natural to

Salem's Colonial History was

Murray Wary
On Middle East
By the Associated Press

Senator Murray, Democrat OF
Montana, Joined Senator George.
Democrat Of Georgia, today in
calling for a cautious approach
to the Eisenhower administra-
tion's plan of international
action to guarantee peace in the
Middle East.
Secretary of State Dulles has
proposed a multi-nation move to
establish and guarantee new
Israeli-Arab borders. compensate
Arabs driven out of Palestine
and help finance Middle East
water developments.
Senator Murray said in an
interview he thinks the United
States should be willing to take
on some burdens in the interests
of peace in the area" but ne
added that I'VE can't go it
alone"
That was the chief reserva-
ton of Senator George, chair
man of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. who said in
q weekend telephone interview
that he is in sympathy with the
objectives of Mr.. Dulles plan
"but I doubt very much that 1t
will ever work out"
Senator George said he fears
other free-world nations may
offer only token assistance land
the whole burden would fall on
us"
Britain pledged support for the
Dulles plan but spokesman for
the Arab nations indicated un-
officially they would reject a
proposal which would entail their
formal recognition Of the state
lof Isreal.
!. Senator Murray said he thinks
the United States must be care
ful not to appear to take sides
IN the controversy between the
Arabs and the Jews. One leader
iof the Arabs driven out of Pal
iestine in 1948, DR.. Izzai famous,
already has accused Mr.. Dulles
aof trying to curry favor with
the Zionist vote in America for
the 1856 presidential elections. "
Georges reservations about
the possible cost of loans and
economic aid phases of the
Dulles plan seemed to reflect
home state sentiment against
continuation of high level foreign
assistance spending.
The Georgia Senator, who has
indicated he has no intention of
retiring when his present term
expires next year despite his n
years, has been under fire from
some quarters in Georgia for
sponsorship OF the foreign aid
program passed by the last session
of Congress.
He has called for drastic
reductions next year in United
States spending abroad, and he
seemed to feel that any ambitious
project for the Middle East would
be likely to run counter to that
trend.
