Dear Friends:
This has certainly been a week
Hayes and l have enjoyed. Last
Sunday morning Gene Shirley ar
rived by car to spend the week with
us and her husband, Fred, landed
at Forbes in a BAT after a long
TIDY temporary duty separating
him from his family.
We had planned for some time
to have Gene and Fred stay with US
upon their return and this they did.
They stayed here this week, instead
of taking their leave right away,
primarily to find living quarters.
For three and One-half years the
Shirleys have been our neighbOrs,
but when this TIDY turned up they
had to give up their home in To-
peka and Gene went home to live
with her family and Fred's ("Gene"
is an abbreviation for Eugenia.)
Fred has been overseas and it
was such fun seeing all the lovely
gifts he had brought home for his
family-portraits material (Gene
~sews beautifully, cashmere suits
and blazers, jewelry, etc. We were
even included in the gifts-little
dolls for our two dolls and a lovely
hand-painted and hand-carved sign
with our names on it for the front
door of our house.
Tuesday it happened to be my
turn to have my weekly bridge
club and since Gene was a former
member they all were pleased to
have her back again and everyone
wanted to catch up on her life
since she has been away.
Wednesday at the club we had
election of officers and l wanted
to be snre to go to vote for my
f2YOrites on the slate. [ left Gene
home alone and think she enjoyed
being by herself and doing the
things she wanted to do after be-
ing away from Topeka the past
months.
One of our very favorite eating
places is the China Inn and that is
where we ate dinner Wednesday
evening, courtesy of the Shirleys
Thursday morning the Shirleys re-
ceiVed the keys to recently yaca-
ted quarters on the base and Thurs

Investing For Profit

In previous weeks this column
has shown how you can build
$4,000 up to $1,000,000 in 25 years
without borrowing any money or
without buying anything on mar
gin. This would be by investing in
new Industries before the brokers
and the public woke up to their
possibilities. To accomplish this
believe that the $4,000 should be
divided into four Trust Funds of
$2,50O each in order to get COM
petition between the different
Trustees. A bank does not wish to
be bothered with such small Trust
Funds. Hence, it will be practically
impossible to get four banks to
do this This means that you must
get four individuals to serve as
Trustees.
These individuals should be
young college instructors,-one in
physics, one in chemistry, one in
biology, and one in business ad-
ministration. If you have a son or
daughter who is in college, have
him or her pick out four bright
as such trustees. Otherwise, write
the United Information Service, 6
Maiden Lane, New York City, which
will help you. These individuals
should be paid a good commission
for their services, based On the
results which they secure for you.
This will make them more interest
ed il serving you. Having a num-
Der of trustees will also create
competition and rivalry between
these four college instructors.
Importance OF Youth
I advise a selection of young
college instructors, rather than
older professors, because the older
men are usually more interested
in their own regulations and have
more fear of making a mistake The
Trust Agreements will, however,
provide that the Trustees will not
be held responsible for any losses.
1t will be assumed that one or two

SPLUTTERS OF DISUNITY

Concerning 1858 and 1860, both the Re
publicans and the Democrats are riding in d
machine whose engine is spluttering. IL
brief, both parties have large areas of dis
agreement within their ranks
President EisenhOwer's budget has not
welded the Republicans in the Senate and the
House of Representatives into a solid phal
anX. The civil rights issue is an area of more
disagreement among the Democrats than is
their divergence of views as to the Repubi-
can lack of unity.
At the recent meeting of the new Advis-
ory Council of the Democratic party, the
civil rights issue was left alone out of pO
likeness to Senator Johnson and some of the
other Democratic Congressional leaders
Northern governors. went to Washington fol
this meeting, but the Southern governors
were absent They went to the Kentucky
Derby at Louisville.
1t is not known if they had the right
pari-mutuel formulas, but as of now neither
of the major parties has put together the
formulas for 1858 and 1860. However, both
parties have long time ahead in which tC
disagree, and it appears as though the dis
agreements will continue.

CONTESTS FOR DRIVERS
One of the many distressing things about
teen-agers, over whom their elders have been
exercised as far back as recorded history, is
their present propensity for hot-rOdding or
drag racing. What is to be done about it?
Some advocate setting aside special roads
where drag racing will be permitted. The
objection is made to this that it would ad-
vertise the practice, and lead to its spread
to main roads.
A more promising suggestion comes
from Midwestern suburban town. This is
for contests that will keep the drivers mind
strictly on the road. He will be told, for in
stance, to turn left at a specially marked
crossroad. Or he will be directed to drive "a
miles per hour for So miles, and then, on a
main highway, change to 30 miles an hour
for a period Timers will watch from un-
announced points.
This might satisfy the love of contest.
If this pals, it is proposed to have an auto
mobile obstacle race, where the driver would
encounter curving roads, small garages,
small parking spaces, and barriers which re
quire care to avoid. Some of these ideas
might provide an outlet for youthful energy
and the love of beating competition.

last night questioned Unit e d
States policy in the Middle East
in an address before a Baptist
conference.
With the Eisenhower doctrine
covering with a shield the Mid

people must now ask themselves
this question-'Do we have the
moral and spiritual qualities to
protect an Arab nation in the
deserts when we didn't have
the moral and spiritual qualiti-
ties to protect the Hungarians?'
Mr.. Graham asked:
Are we willing as an American
people s. to start third world
war to protect bit of sand and
some nomad tribes when we
were not willing to start it in
order to keep communism from
grabbing all of China?"
These are the most dangerous
and critical hours in the history
OF our race" he said.

speaker before the Texas Baptist
Evangelistic Conference.

Thorez Opposes
.Khrushchev on
Cominform Plan

PARIS. Jan. 16 (P.-Soviet
Communist Boss Nikita S
Khrushchev is promoting a meet
ing in Moscow next month to
revive the Cominform, informed
sources said today. Indications
are it will not be all smooth
shedding.
West European Red leaders
were reported summoned to at
tend. All the East European sat-
Iellites are expected to be repre-
scented.
The Paris France-Soir, a mod
crate newspaper noted for the
accuracy of its news from Com
munist circles, said French Party
Boss Maurice Thorez has already
objected on the ground the time
is not ripe.
The Cominform was the Red
information bureau and clearing
house founded after World War
III with the aim of promoting
world communism.
1t was dissolved only last April.
The dissolution came after Mr..
Khrushchev had approved-at
the goth Congress of the Soviet
Communist Party-a policy of
many roads to socialism" advo-
Gated by YugoSlavia's President
Tito. The plush headquarters in
Bucharest, Romania, were closed.
Mr.. Khrushchev, stung by out
bursts of independence in the
Red sphere and weakening of the
West European Communist par
ties. is reported to want to re-
establish the Cominform to put
all Red groups under direct Mos
COW discipline.
Some informants connected
the visit of Red Chinese Premier
Chou En-lai to Moscow, Warsaw
and Budapest with Mr.. Khrush-
chev's plans.
