PoIicy-Mokers Stunned by Red Shift
From Sober Rafting to Economic War

USSR in research, long range
bombers and guided missiles. :
We believe that the present
prosperity spiral can continue
indefinitely. Some Of our allies
seem to doubt it, although this
does not prompt them to say
that we should cut down our
assistance. At this moment the
French government, for in
stance. is suggesting that the
tension in North Africa could
be eased If the economic and
social standards of the ma
tives were considerably i'm
proved. And since the French
budget does not permit such a
vast program. Washington is
being urged to come across
with more millions above the
amount provided for this years
assistance program to France.
The Soviets are telling the
world that they can provide
capital and goods to improve
economic conditions wherever
needed. The fact that they
have not demonstrated that
they can do this either quanti-
tatively or qualitatively seems
to be ignored by all concerned.
But the Russians have the
knack Of making whatever lit
tie help they give look like
something spectacular. For in
stance. in Afghanistan we are
engaged in constructive prof.
ects which do not attract much
public attention. At the same
time the Russians are making
q big impression by spending a
trivial amount on paving Kabul
streets. tarring some roads and
providing electric lights in the
Afghan capital. While our eff
forts are largely unknown to
the masses. the Soviet-made
improvements in Kabul are
what may be described as a
front-page story.
The present follow-the-l ead-
er policy of Washington per-
mits a kind of diplomatic
blackmail which results in our
obligating more millions of the
taxpayers dollars abroad. The

questionably a good thing which
American private enterprise
could easily have undertaken
with the moral assistance of
the government. We dilly-
dallied until the Russians went
to Cairo and offered to do the
job. Then we rushed into the
breach and offered to build
the $1-billion project for the
Egyptian government without
any ifs or butts.
The Lebanese government

million loan-actually chicken

that amount as a gift.
The Soviet tactics of prom
Using economic and financial
assistance-on condition that
the recipients join the neu-
tralists-have wised up a num-
Der of governments abroad to
play both ends against the
middle. They receive Soviet
and Chinese Communist mis-
sions in their capitals with a
good deal of fanfare. Then
they return the visits and their
officials are received with SINH
lar spectacles in Moscow or
Peiping. They know that we
will not tell them: 'tAll right,
If you want to sell your free
dom for a pittance, have it
your own way" Instead they
expect us to rush and ask:
How much do you want? Just
tell us and we shall give it to
you" Before this give-away
policy was initiated, these
countries would have given
their eye teeth to obtain the
help and friendship of Amer
lea. Now they know that all
they have to do Is return the
Red smiles and Washington
will offer them everything on
a silver platter.
The Russians are making
spectacular promises which
nobody believes they can fulfill
except in discarded military
equipment. We counter them
by actual deliveries of cash
and substance which may soon
become scarce commodities in
this country.

Facts Strongly Suggest q Third Party
May SNOWFALL at Last Minute

Publicity over the Univer-
sity of Alabama case at Tus-
caloosa and the bus boycott
at Montgomery has obscured
a practical political situation
developing in the South look
ing to the national convention
and the presidential election.
1t revolves about this ques-
ton:
What will the Southern
States do at the Democratic
National Convention and. after
that, where will its voters go
in the presidential election?
Let us begin with the fact,
just beginning to be realized.
that Southern leaders. as well
as leaders from other parts Of
the country, face a new stu
ation--accomplished facts. not
a theory or something that
just might happen. Hitherto.
at two previous national party
conventions-1948 and 1852
it was a theory that might
possibly come to pass. mean
ing civil rights legislation.
which provoked rebellion
among Southern delegates.
But now there are two &C
complished facts. First. there
is the Supreme Court de-
ciSion banning segregation in
public schools. Second, and
bearing directly on the po-
litical relationships of the
Southern States TO their Fed
eral Government, and to
national parties. is the inter-
position movement by which
1t is declared that States will
not carry out the Supreme
Court decision.

Extreme CrosscUrrents of Criticism OF
Dulles Leave Voter q Little Confused
DAVID LAWRENCE

Secretary Of State John
Foster Dulles may become
known as 1.-The man with the
impossible job"
Whatever Mr.. Dulles says is
subject to criticism that goes
to extremes-either that he has
too firm a policy. or too weak
a policy, or no policy at all.
The favorite comment of his
critics is that I'VE are losing
Asia" or that I'VE are losing
the world" The world seems
to be regularly lost" in Janu-
airy but regained in June when
Congress votes billions of for
eign aid to allies. some of whom
have to be cajoled annually to
remain allies.
But the truth is that the
world situation today is made
in large part by the Kremlin.
The American Secretary Of
State Is confronted daily by the
actions taken by Soviet Russia
around the globe. over which
no power of coercion exists
for, naturally. military force
is taboo. The Russians. Of
course. don't tell Mr.. Dulles in
advance the steps they intend
to take or how they are ex-
ecuting them. He is also con-
fronted by the speeches made
by partisan critics-most of
them Democrats who consider
an election year a good time
for shipping.
The average American knows
very little about what these
confusing croSScurrentS of
criticism mean and what mo-
tivates them. All he reads
Is that the Secretary of State
has been travelling tens OF
thousands of miles by airplane
around the world and seems
to be about the most indie
fatigable Secretary Of State
the Nation has ever had-but
still his services are appar-
emily unsatisfactory, at least
to the Democrats.
Some of the members Of
Congress are conscientious
about wanting an exposition Of
foreign policy for their back
ground. Others show by their
speeches and comments that
what they are seeking is cam
paign publicity, and they
would just as soon say deroga-
tory things about their own
Government II it helps TO sup

Mississippi and North Caro-
lima, have announced their
intention to secure passage of
such resolutions, while Gov.
Allen Shivers of Texas is
arranging to have the State
Democratic Committee put the
.interposition questions on the
ballot in Texas primary for a
referendum by the voters.
Anybody who recognizes the
realities knows that the Demo-
cratic platform can do moth
ing else but declare that the
Indignation decision is now the
law Of the land. which is what
candidates for the presidential
nomination reiterate constant
ly. Neither they nor the party
could take any other position.
What will be the position OF
delegations represe n ting
Southern States which have
"interposed" that they will not
accept Indignation? Even, for
example. If the platform fol-
lows the Supreme Courts de
liberate speed" and CONSTITUTES
that as gradualism: for inter-
position says never" not
gradually.
Will Southern delegations
content themselves with voting
against the platform-or will
they walk out?
If they walk out, where will
they and their people 60?
They can hardly go into the
Republican Party since no one
can imagine that party doing
other than insisting that the
Supreme Court decision is the
law Of the land and denying
the doctrine of interposition.
That would seem to leave
only a third party as a mech
anism for the position of in
terposition. Will 1t come to
that again as in 1913? Then a

port a charge Of alleged in
competence against the Sec
rotary of State. 1t is so easy
for members of Congress to
disparage the efforts of the
United States Government
abroad. though the speeches
profess to be attacking only
the Republican Party.
If the Secretary of State
says he notes a change in So
Wet tactics, many Of the
Democratic Party's spokes-
men jump on him and say
they haven't noticed any. If
he says the free nations are
making Roadway, the critics
say they haven't noticed any.
Or else the cry arises, why
don't we take the initiative?"
But, when all is said and
done. there is no coercive ini-
tiative the United States can
take except to initiate the
Communists or engage in pre-
ventive war. This has been
considered sinful and imprac-
tical and as the dream of some
'right-wingers." though no
body has ever yet been able
to produce evidence that such
advocates even exist here.
If the Secretary of State re-
fers to the deterrent force"
built up by the United States.
then he is accused of going to
1.-The brink of war" When he
points out that little wars
might mean big wars. and that
atomic weapons might have
to be used in small wars, he is
Immediately assailed as Great
ing a bad impression ION the
peoples Of Asia" But when
the Secretary of the Air Force
answers a question at a public
meeting and says America may
have to use atomic weapons
in little wars to prevent them
from becoming big wars-as
he said last week-it scarcely
gets attention. In fact, nobody
in Congress has since risen up
to criticize the Secretary Of
Air. and maybe it's because so
many members of Congress
are for various reasons beat
ing the drums in a cry for a
bigger and better Air Force.
So the lot Of a Secretary of
State is a difficult one. and the
average American will have to
form his own judgment. He

Social Security Payable Even Without

You don't have to retire conf

security benefits after age G5." ac
cording to J w DinWlddie. dis
trict manager Of the Lynchburg
social security office.
The manager explained that 1854
amendments to the Social Security
Act permit earnings up to 81 200 in
a calendar year before any bene-
fits are lost even if you work in all
months of the year. Even if you
earn more than 81 200, some pay
ments can be made if your total
earnings for the year are not over
81, $50. Moreover. you do not lose a
benefit for any month in which you
do not earn more than $50 in EN-
ployment or do not render SubStan-
tial services in Sef-employment
regardless of the amount of your
earnings in other months of the
year.

Virginia Weekly
Weather And

During the week ending April 81,
unusually cold weather retarded
growth of pastures and small grains
and delayed planting of corn and
cotton.
Temperatures averaged consider
ably below normal with most sta
tons reporting freezing readings
during the week. A low of 20 de-
grees was reported at several sta
tons. Rainfall was light except in
eastern and southeastern counties
where most stations reported from
IS to so of an inch. However, pre-
cipitation to date totaled 348 inches
compared with the normal of 1922
for the entire month of April
Condition of pasture declined
slightly during the week as result
of the unusually cold weather.
Prospects for wheat, barley an(
oats continue favorable and in cas-
tern counties, rye is in head. The
growth of hay crops has been re
tarded and there is considerable

Automatic Water System Will

The 1850 census releases some
rather startling figures. These fig

down on a county basis.

rural residences and of these. 1908.
or IS per cent. do not have running
water. Cumberland has 1887 rural
residences and 1924 or II per cent
are without running water. Motto
way has 1863 rural residences anu
1883 or 46 per cent are without run
ming water. Prince Edward has 2826
rural residences and 1864 or 60 per
cent are without running water.
Buckingham has 1898 rural resi-
dences and 1910 or Y per cent are
without running water
Approximately 80 per cent of the
rural residences either have cleo
tricity or have it available to them
With this in MIND and an average
of the five Counties reported with
out water systems to be 626 per

Many Southside farmers say that
the automatic water system was
the best buy they ever made When
few facts, are pointed out. it is
easy to see why.

improved economy, a. more leisure

protection. Most of these benefits
are self explanatory. however. the
way an electric water system can
aid in increasing productivity may
not be too easily seen.
All farm products have a high
water content. For instance, milk
is 81 per cent water, so having wa

production from 10 to % per cent
Beef and pork production can be in
creased from 10 to 90 per cent BY
having plenty of water available
Poultrymen find that egg production
increases from to 10 per cent after
automatic watering fountains have
been added.

firmed by most owners of auto
