Backward Areas

The second dimension OF
Soviet strategy in recent years
has been to seek to draw the
underdeveloped areas in the
Middle East. Asia, and Africa
away from the West and into
the Soviet orbit. They are pur-
suing this objective by diploma
tic, economic, and psychological
means designed to persuade the
peoples Of these areas that as
ISOLATION with the Soviet Union
and the acceptance of com.
|munism itself win aid them in
their struggles for national inde-
pendence and rapid economic
development.
Should this game be success
full, the rulers in the Kremlin be-
lieve that. in association with
the Chinese Communists, they
can weaken and eventually
throttle the power of Western
Europe as well as acquire direct
authority and influence in key
strategic areas containing the
bulk Of the worlds population.
This dimension in Soviet
strategy is indirectly but signi-
ficantly affected by the crisis in
Eastern Europe.

The third strategy has sought
to move forward from the Euro

No Federal Aid

The Ohio Chamber of Commerce
is urging members of the Ohio
Congressional Delegation to reject
current proposals for Federal aid
for school construction, according
to report from the Chamber.
The report says that either of
the bills would discriminate
against Ohio citizens who have
demonstrated their ability and
willingness to finance their own
public school system from State
and local sources"

Der show that Ohio counties have
approved $480, 143, ,621 in bond is

with issues for $117,668.82 being
disapproved. The Chamber cites
this high rate of approvals as evil

Council Accepts Plat Of
Proposed New Subdivision
Busy Session Held
Thursday Night

At their regular meeting Thurs
day, the London City Council ac-
cepted the plat of the proposed
new subdivision, London Terrace,
located on the west side of town,
north of u. S. Route AZ. The de-
velopment is by the First London
Builders. Inc, Dayton firm. The
plat 81 accepted subject to
changes recommended by the City
Engineer and the Utility Board.
The firm agreed to make the
changes as required.
One of the changes provides for
the enlargement of the city by
O.732 acres by annexation of a
portion of the development now ly-
ing outside the corporation limits.
The first step in the annexation
was taken last night as the letter
requesting it was presented to
council by the firm, now sole own
ers of the land.
Dogs occupied much of the coun-
Gil business when a resident COM
planned that his young child had
been attacked and mauled in the
school yard by the pack of dogs
that run there during the time the
children are in the yard. No seri-
Gus injury incurred this time, but
council and the county commits
sioners, who were represented at
the meeting, were made aware of
the seriousness of the situation.
Discussion resulted in the referral
of the problem to the Health and
Safety Committee for action by
the next council meeting. The pres
ent ordnance governing the con-
troll of animals in the city was
written in 1906 and is considered
inadequate.
Mayor E. p. Speasmaker made
the monthly mayors report, show
ing total collections of $577.50
from city cases and S2.511.50 plus
$3.50 from costs in highway cases.
Money from city cases goes to the
city's general fund. Fifty-five per-
cent, or $1,3S1.33 of the highway
cases money goes to the city, with
fifty percent, or $690.66 to the
general fund and one-half to the
vehicle fund. Highway costs also
accrue to the city's general fund.
The report was accompanied by
checks for the amounts stated.
The parking meter situation
came under scrutiny as plans for
the repair and cleaning of meters
were discussed. One member of
council expressed the opinion that
the money for their repair should
not be spent unless they brought in
some revenue and that revenue had
dropped considerably. The Mayor
stated that he would do all he
could to collect parking fines, but
emphasized that the law should
apply equally to all concerned. The
Mayor pointed out that the biggest
group of violators were townpeo-
pie and business men who park
their cars without attention to the
meters. Council agreed to, adver-
tise for bids for the repair of the
meters.
