SODUS POINT. N. Y. July
rs R.-What was supposed to
have been a half-hour jaunt
in a 14-foot motorboat turned
into a narrowing 66-hour battle
with nature for a middle -aged
Canadian couple.
James M. Cook. 81. and his
wife Helen. Al, with their white
dog, washed ashore in the boat
near here yesterday after being
adrift in Lake Ontario since
Sunday.

II hope, this is a good lesson
to others who are foolish
enough to 60 out on the lake
without proper equipment. I'll
never go out again without
rockets"
Mr.. Cook, a merchandising
machine operator. said this was
how it happened:
They decided to take their
14-foot cupboard for a spin at
noon Sunday. A vacation was in
the offing and they wanted to
check out the craft. 1t was to
be a half-hour trip.
Can't See Lighthouse
They were outside of Brighton
Bay when Mrs. Cook turned to
her husband and said. Il can't
see it anymore. She was re-
ferring to a lighthouse. The
Coast Guard said the weather
was hazy.)
The boat took lurch and
the compass went overheard.
About $3.50 pm. the gas sup
ply went low and Mr.. Cook shut
off the engine to keep a little
fuel in reserve.
That night a severe storm
shook UP the lake.
From then on. the couple
kept warm with blankets,
prayed, and drifted. When they
landed they had covered IS
miles.
They washed ashore about
6 am. at Chimney Bluff, 5
miles east Of here.

may illustrate non-partisan, patriotic unity
Of Americans against their enemies. 1t also
may illustrate the weakness of the Eisen-
hover government, and an attempt to
spread responsibility for its mistakes of the

However one may view Mr. Steyenson's
role as adviser to Mr.. Eisenhower the trend
toward one party government is unnistak-
able. The Republican and Democratic Par
ties have been showing marked similarities
on several issues.
If national political unity is good thing,
the Russians have it. The monolithic soil
darity- meaning solid as a rock-of the
communist government has been hailed by
Russian spokesman as the great strength Of
the Soviet Union. That unity enables the
kremlin to focus the whole power of the
nation on any given problem. 1t may ex-
plain the success of the Russians in missile
development, though capture Of German
scientists at the end Of World War ii was
also a vital factor.
To fight wars successfully, no doubt it
is necessary for all citizens to bow to cen
trail national will. President f. d. Roosevelt
appointed Republicans to his cabinet in key
defense positions to emphasize unity Pres
ident Eisenhower has ample precedent in
calling for Adlai Stevenson's help.
Carried to a logical conclusion, this trend

Artificial Respiration

PRESIDENT Dwight Eisenhower is re-
ported to be preparing to recommend
pay increases costing more than one billion
dollars year for military personnel and
Civil Service employees. This, and other
factors appearing on the horizon, point to
a new wave of initiation.
Although business is currently experience
ing a slight recession, and all prospects are
that it will not end for some six months,
the fact that President Eisenhower will
probably propose budget calling for the
expenditure of several billion dollars more
than was asked in the budget for fiscal
1858 is a hint of things to come.
With defense expenditures expected to
be boosted by the second session of the 85th
Congress. with the President expected to
recommend increases for both military per-
sonnet and Civil Service employees, 1T is
obvious that Government spending is going
to increase If some sort of program can be
worked out in the next session of Congress
which will provide prosperity for farmers,
especially for small farmers, then another
wave Of initiation is sure to begin in the
second half Of 1858 on the beginning Of

1859
AS has been the case in SO many past
business recessions, defense spending and
increased pay for Government employees
has often taken up the slack and provided
the foundation for new inflationary
spiral. Perhaps the most important factor
in appraising the probability of another
inflationary trend is the question Of an
adequate farm program. The Soil Bank
program, while helping to hold down sur
pluses and preventing some farmers from
starving, has not been boost to the ma
tional economy.
Because farm profits have dwindled con-
siderably, purchasing power in 5 m | /
towns, and in the rural areas, has suffered
and business has suffered generally as a
result. Only heavy defense spending in re-
cent years has prevented a more serious
business recession. If return of prosperity
to our farms is coupled with increased de-
fense spending and raise in pay for the
Armed Services and Civil Service employ
ees, the end Of the recession, and initiation
is almost sure to follow
