When eaten at picnic. One of the
many family groups who took their
suppers with them to the Commu-
nifty Picnic are shown here. Left
to right along one side are Mrs.

and Mrs. c. Dreher.

George Fink lifts son George

Cheryl Lynn Henderson, s, was
the laison between that huge bar
rel of automobile grand prize pic
mic tickets and Robert Hutnik,
winner of the Nash Rambler sta
tion wagon, the 1856 top gift at
the East Cleveland Community
picnic.
Shown with Cheryl and Bob are,
left to right, Phil Snyder of East
End Nash Co., and DR.. John A.
Stahl, platform chairman.
A 22-year-old young man who
does not have a car is the still
excited owner of the Nash Rambler
black and red station wagon, the
grand award at the East Cleveland
1855 picnic.
When the young man stepped to
the platform as his name was
called, he was too dazed to scarcely
speak and, despite the cool
evening, he was perspiring like a
Turk, as the saying goes. He had
placed two auto stubs in the con-
tainer in the Log Cabin that after
noon.
Mr.. Hutnik, a painter by trade,
resides at 1876 Bender ave. and is
employed by Adolph Butela, a
painting contractor in Pama. He
served with the Coast Guard for
two and a-half years.
A trip home, to Braddock, Pa,
where his parents reside, will pos
sibly be his first out-of-town jaunt
with his priced new car.

On The Picnic

| The car winner was about as
flabergasted at suddenly becom-
ing the owner of that beauty of a
Nash station wagon as was George
Nelson at receiving this years
citizen award. That could not have
happened to finer person.
The new plan. the calling Of the
name instead Of the number on
the stub, speeded the giving away
of the prizes at this years picnic.
Folks didn't have to hurriedly
check fist fulls of stubs. There
was time for that when they
reached the checkers table On the
platform.
Too bad for the first name for
the Laundromat. But rules must be
followed to keep the record
straight. Better luck next time.
This annual picnic for all pres
ent and former East Clevelanders
and their friends is one of the best
community builders. Folks who
play together as well as work
together. are the best of citizens.
Two few towns in metropolitan
areas now have this type of out
ing. May it never cease here.
Men who work on the picnic COM
mittee for the first time are
amazed at the reception they re-
ceived when calling on profession
ais, industrial or business men for
prize or money contributions. This
first actual experience in partici-
pating in a community affair tells
the story of the success Of our
community endeavors; a keen sense
of responsibility to the good of
their community. Newcomers who
get into various groups comment
on the same reaction. And anyone,
who does not have this community
spirit, must acquire it to become a
genuine East Clevelander.

Seated on a bench during the
afternoon, chatting with friends
was Mrs. Cora Arm. Her 26th time
to attend this picnic.
AS usual the "Lost and Found
Children" lent interest as the wee
ones were brought before the plat
form mike for parents to see. One
little lady told Mr.. Nelson her
name was Debby, and when asked
where she lived, replied "At our
house." She also proceeded to give
the names Of her neighbors. Some

Adrian had bought for himself

Too Much Reliance on Handouts

announcements or Handouts"
So far as the Attorney
General or any other cabinet
officer is concerned, he may
choose one medium today and
another tomorrow. That's his
prerogative. The press had no
legitimate basis for protest the
other day, for it couldn't have
printed the news a moment
sooner if Mr.. Brownell had not
appeared on the television
program and had merely given
it to the press in a mimeo-
graphed "handout."
1t is true there then would
have been no chance for re-
porterS to question Mr.. Brow
nell. but this was permitted
after the television program
anyway. All the newspapers
had the news as soon as it was
revealed on the television pro-
gram. The only folks who
really had a kick coming were
the rival networks in the tele-
vision business, for they were
not in on it. A few moments
later on their regular news
programs. they could have
made an announcement of this
item Of news and they still
would not have been far
behind.
The matter of regulating the
flow Of news artificially has re-
vealed many handicaps. These
will not be easily overcome,
but the press need not pay too
much attention to them any,
how. Good reporters covering
spot news" developments
could have found out many
days in advance that the At
torney General was planning
to file an antitrust suit against
General Motors. They probably
knew all about it at the Offices
of General Motors anyway long
before the television press
conference was held.

New fears have arisen in
Washington about the posi-
bility of an explosion in the
Middle East this summer.
Rumors and reports, denied in
turn by the Arabs and the
Israelis, corning troop
movements and concentrations
have come thick and fast in
recent weeks.
According to observers on
the spot, the 1SraeliS are Wor-
ried about the ned moves, for
an Arab confederation if it
became an accomplished fact
might engulf their country.
This concern of Prime Min
lister Ben-Gurion is trans
lated by some Arab leaders
into the belief that Israel is
getting ready for a preventive
war"
Qualified observers in Wash
ington feel that the time has
passed for the Israelis to start
a preventive" action. 1t is
true, they say, that Israeli
ground forces are still superior
quantitatively and qualitatively
to the combined Arab armies.
But 1T is pointed out that the
Arabs have now a definite SUI
periority in the air.
The men in the Kremlin
have supplied Egypt Cand to
a lesser extent SYRIA with
flrst-claSS offensive aviation.
Egypt now has a sufficient
number of bomberS to destroy
Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa
within half an hour.
Egyptian pilots trained in
the USSR and in Egypt by
Soviet experts can handle these
planes Skillfully. Thus at the
Israelis' slightest move to rush
the Arab forces which are on
the Israeli borders. their three
principal cities could be oblit-
Grated.
Israel not only lacks means
to retaliate but does not have
the necessary fighting planes
to oppose air strikes. The

during his quick official trip
to the Middle East and to
Athens he had tried to place
some new fuses in the powder
barrel in that area.
Shepilov obtained the prom
Use (some say the commit
ment) of Egyptian President
Nasser to place at the disposal
of the Soviet the air and naval
power bases along the Suez
Canal which are pledged by
treaty to be available to
Britain in case of need.
In exchange the Kremlin
diplomat assured the Arabs
that the USSR will be able to
hold back the Western nations
in the event of Arab-Israeli
hostilities.
Shepilov furthered the idea
of an Arab confederation, not
for the purpose of promoting
a better understanding and
peace in the Middle East, but
as an instrument to remove us
from the area extending from
the Suez Canal to the Persian
Gulf.
The practical objective for
dislodging America and Brit
ain from the Middle East is
the peaceful conquest of the
vast Arab and Iranian oil re-
sources without which Russia
cannot risk another agrees
sion.
If it is necessary to sacrifice
Israel to attain this oil objec.
tive. then it cannot be helped,
according to the tenets of the
Soviet foreign minister.
Ten years ago the USSR
supported the creation of the
Israeli state. The Russians felt
then that the best way to get a
wedge in that region was to
create the inevitable dissen-
sions between Arabs and Jews.
They may have INDUCED
then in mere speculations. But
they appear to have been
profitable. Today we barely
hold our own in Iraq, Iran and

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Israel Suspects Arab Confederation;
Russians Seen Fomenting Trouble

1sraelis have asked Washing
ton for the sale of three or
four, dozen fighter planes.
Secretary of State Dulles ex-
planned that this country can
not provide arms to either
side lest the balance of power
be upset and thus America
would share a part of the re-
sponsibility for new and vio-
lent outbreaks in that explo-
sive area. He told the IsraeliS
that the United Nations had
the machinery to cope with
aggression.
Mr.. Dulles said that the ad-
ministration was sympathetic
to Israel'S difficulties and would
attempt to obtain Canada's
promise to sell the needed
fighters. And, indeed, when
Foreign Minister Lester Pear
son came to Washington last
month Mr.. Dulles urged him to
do something for Israel.
Mr.. Pearson is reported to
have agreed to deliver 20 to
Is planes to the Tel-Aviv gov
eminent. But on his return
to Ottawa he was overruled
by Prime Minister st. Laurent,
who insisted that for domestic
reasons it was essential that
America provide at least some
token" planes. Only under
such conditions would Canada
commit herself to selling
fighter planes to Israel.
The new acute state of af-
fairs in the Middle East is
ascribed by American high of
flcials to the intervention of
the Soviets. More specifically,
it is attributed to the recent
talks of Foreign Minister
Dmitri Shepilov with the Arab
chiefs in Cairo, Beirut and
Damascus.
Comrade Shepilov is out
wardly advocating an improve
ment in Soviet-American rela-
tons. But he failed to in

The Poles hated the Ger

cally convinced that God was
the sponsor of Polish national
freedom, and that His cause
cannot be lost.
OF all the East European

ambitions, they were the most
foolhardy. and alone among
the SlavS were never tainted
by Russian pan-Slavism. Rus
slams were not their Slavic
brothers" Russia was a boot
on their necks. Tempera-
mentally they are closer to
the Firms and Hungarians. to
whom they are not racially or
linguistically related. than to
the Czechs or Yugoslavs, who
are also SlavS.
Alone among the eastern
Slavic peoples, they are not

1t is exactly what they ex-
pected, considering its source.

How very silly. Weeks ago

be premature. The Poles are
simply running true to form

If they have more courage
than prudence. it was always
so. Courage and tenacity, not
prudence, has kept Poland
alive.

refused to be lost.
