nounced the plan to cut these
funds at least 20%o) India and the
370 million Indians might be eager
to embrace some new friends.
Russia has been changing its tac-
tics as far as foreign policy is con-
cerned in great many ways. Some
of those men in Washington who've
kept right up with all of these
signs, have horrible suspicion
that these slippery Russians are
turning against us our own STRAIT
agies of help to other countries.
Now they're wooing Egypt (Which
we thought we had safely anchored)
and have increased trade between
Egypt and the Communist bloc
from 20% to 53%. The same thing
is happening all over, through a
series of brilliant maneuvers
they're trading more and more
with neutral countries, they've de-
vised this method of getting foot
hold there. Another thing - the
Soviet Union is now turning out
$4,000 engineers a year against
$4,000 in the u. S. Ours study
five days a week for four years:
theirs, six days a week for five
years - the extra study being de-
voted to the language and culture
of lands marked for Soviet eco
nomic penetration.
This whole thing is really an i'm
piled victory for us, because we've
been furnishing this aid to now
Communist countries, helping them
to be self-sustaining and prosper
Gus. Now the Russians see how
smart a move this is, and they're
going to try it themselves instead
of instigating these bloody revolts.
Don't get me wrong. still think
we have the very best men in our
state department (even though Mr..
Dulles really stuck his foot in his
mouth one day this week on a SUBJ
ject that's very touchy in India),
that's what so wonderful about this
country of ours you can grippe
to your hearts content! Couldn't
you imagine what would hoppen to
lady-columnist in Russia if she'd
dare to write thus?!
Well, at least l got the whole
thing off my chest, / wish some
time if you have the time you'd
write and tell me what you think
about this - maybe you have a
different angle on the whole thing.

THE
FARMERS WIFE
BY GRACE LUEBkE

Nowadays when we listen to
nwes broadcasts on the radio or
television, or read about world
events in newspapers or magazines,
we hear so much about certain
crisis that has developed in some
country far away and more or less
unfamiliar to us. Perhaps there's
terrorist revolt somewhere in
Africa, or mob violence in some
country in South America. We get
to be almost immune to any feel
ings of compassion for the people
involved, we hear of so many in
stances of bloody riots that we're
becoming calloused and almost in
different. Probably If we had ever
personally been involved in one OF
these upheavals, or been witness
to one, we'd have a clearer realiza-
ton of just how terrible they are.
However, every once in while
there's an event that happens
somewhere in the world that jolts
us out of the complacent rut we've
been in, and it doesn't always have
to be an event that involves blood
shed, either. In my opinion, we
sure should have gotten jolt out
of hearing about the visit of those
two Russian "big wheels, Bulganin
and Khhushchev, to Indiana. They
used every method they could pos
sibly think of to convince the peo-
pie Of India that Russia is the
most kind-hearted, generous, and
peace-loving nation on the face OF
the earth, a direct contrast to the
u. S. (and they used every op
portunity to try to make them be
heve that the Western world uses

"policy of threats by atomic wea-
pons'). Everywhere they went they
received loud and tumultous ap-
plause, many gifts, and were just
treated as royalty as could be.
Many people in India believe that
the u. S. is just what the Russians
told them, war-mongering nation.
How in the world are we going to
show them that we're not?
One account that I read about
this visit was worded so as to sort
of ridicule the Russians, poking
fun at them derisively for being so
obvious about their "courtsaip" OF
the Indians. One part read this
way: "they pursued their folksy
whistle-stop politicking across the
vast Asian subcontinent." Even if
we can see through their (the Rus
siansO scheme, it's obvious that the
Indians are taking the whole thing
at it's face value, and why
shouldn't they? The only things
you can base your beliefs on is
what you hear!
/ wonder if it wouldn't be a good
idea for some of our diplomats to
try this "folksy whistle-stop poll
ticking? 1t certainly wouldn't do
any harm, and it might help. You
know, there's possibility that just
because we like ourselves so we'll,
and consider ours the number one
nation of the world, the most de-
sirous for peace, doesn't neces-
sarily mean that people all over
the world automatically have the
same attitude.
/ sure got a jolt about this on a
certain occasion. / once heard q
boy from Greece twho is presently
in this country taking an engineer
ing course in one of our colleges,
talk about his country and way oi
life in Greece. Someone asked him
what the Greeks thought of the
U. S., and he admitted that they
didn't think too much of us. Oh
they're very grateful for all the
financial help we've given them
but it seems that most Americans
who visit foreign shores have thai
"holier than thou" attitude, trying
to appear as though being an Amer

or other.

The big question is are Ohio Democrats burning
enough to oppose the Lausche one.man machine? If
they they will rise up and produce candidate to
oppose Lausche and restore party to the Democrats
If the fire has not burned deeply enough, they will
cept another term of dictatorship. It's simple as
that.
For the past year have and talked to thousands
of sincere Democrats in the state and each and every
of them wants to escape from the LauscheSchock
Messy dictatorship But they parayzed by the
strength of that dictatorship and leadership too
timid to speak up publicly against it.
AS voice in the wilderness have heard the echoes
from such national figures Paul Butler, Democratic
National chairman, who named Lausche for what he is
and what called him, ''pseudo-Democrat" At the
recent Chicago meetings of the party Lausche
named names not in keeping with polite society but
extremely correct.
But in Ohio there is silence and the Democrats have
spokesman Hanhart the titular spokesman is part
of the Lausche machine and his function which he per-

would be wrong. l think the Democrats of Ohio should
select their candidate 1t would be proper make such

My situation is this l am committed to nobody but
the Democratic Party. For over year have sounded

the semblance of organization do not suggest that

such you approve such action. will carry a
hitch-hke campaign to the best of my ability in the
hope that may contribute some help in freeing the
Democratic Party of Ohio from Lausche and the vicious
Republican interests behind him.
Whether successful not such campaign would
at least help Democrats to elect State Central
Committee pledged to seek freedom from Lausche and
place real Democrat in the position of State Chair
man.
But I need your opinion. l am convinced that am
right, that must rebel against dictatorship publicly
and with no holds barred Otherwise face two
years of Lausche plus unknown number of years of
the Crown Prince, Schocknessy, when Lausche finally
admits his true political faith.

Trouble Solved,
Dresser Thinks
Remains Relaxed
In Clutch to Hand
Score q Beutinq
BY BURTON HAWKINS

Maury McDermott's late
inning fades are no longer a
mystery to his manager, Chuck
Dresser. The Senators wavy-
haired lefthander has been noted
for resembling a Hall Of Fame
pitcher for six or seven innings,
then watching things go hay
wire, but Dresser is convinced
Maury doesn't fade because he's
tired.
That's a lot of bunk" Dresser
said after McDermott's four-hit,
80 shutout of the Indians last
night at Griffith Stadium before
1858 customers. 1--WE watched
him closely and twice this year
both times against Cleveland
I've seen him throw harder in
the late innings than he did
starting out.
II think I know what the
trouble has been," Dresser con-
tinued. when he gets in a jam
he wants to get his hands on
that ball and fire it again, quick.
He's so anxious to get more stuff
on the ball that he throws his
leg way up in the air, goes
through a lot of contortionS and
ties himself up. He tries harder
and winds up getting less on
the ball than if he stayed in
that nice, easy motion.
Calls Pascual Same Type
"Camilo Pascual is the same
type" Dresser said. "As long as
he's nice and free he's terrific.
It's when he's conscious of trying
to get something extra on the
ball that he gets wild"
McDermott finished strong last
night. He issued five walks while
striking out five in the first four
innings. In the last five innings
he famed four, walked only one
and emerged with one Of his finer

Then there was the size Of the
ring. California law says it can
be anywhere between 16 and "a
feet wide.
Promoter Jimmy Murray al
ready installed a 16-foot ring in
Kezar Stadium. It is, he says,
more adaptable, especially for
the many news cameramen who
will photograph the fight.
The 16-footer is quite all right
with Marciano. If Cockell has
any plan of running, there will
be less room to run.
Wants Compromise
Simpson said he wanted to
compromise. I'VE feel that a
24-foot ring would be to the ad-
vantage of Cockell and a 16-foot
ring favorable to Marciano," he
explained. 80 we propose a
compromise of 20 feet"
Simpson, to the amusement of
the writers, said he would carry
his appeal, If necessary, to the
highest sources-starting of with

sciously honest, merely said:

No one looked for any blood

issues involved are:

by Handwriting the Pirates with
out a hit in a 40 victory for the
Cubs yesterday.
Among other things, it was
the first no-hitter since last
June IL in Milwaukee when Jim
Wilson stopped Philadelphia,
20, for the Braves. Wilson had
been around since 1945, getting
trials with the Red Sox, Browns
and Athletics before joining the

Athletics for the old st. Louis

his first start for the Browns
but won only two more that sea-
son while losing seven. From
there he trailed of to the

You have to go back to 1852
before you find names like Virgil
