DORIS FLEESON
Beset by Storms and Tornodoes, Public
Is Flooding Congress With Protests

The unseemly weather in
the Midwest and Southwest is
creating in those areas a
groundswell of protest against
further H-bomb testing.
Angry ranchers and farmers
who are beset by tornadoes
and floods are writing to their
Congressman in very strong
terms about the situation.
They point out their relative
nearness to the tests made in
New Mexico. Some are already
positive that their weather
troubles arise from the tests;
others only suggest that Con-
gress ought to satisfy itself on
the question instead of accept
ing administration reassur-
ances at face value.
This is the issue Adlai
Stevenson raised with signally
little success in his campaign
for the presidency last year.
President Eisenhower opposed
Stevenson's view then, and at
his press conference this week
seemed still to be satisfied with
the protesting arguments
made to him by the only per-
son to whom he listens on
atomic m alters: Chairman
Lewis Strauss of the Atomic
Energy Commission.

There is a growing feeling
that the Congress acted hastily
and had not given sufficient
study to the Enactment of the
Status of Forces agreements
when this law was proposed by
the State Department, for
diplomatic reasons. We are now

Graham Calls 1t Sinful
To Hate Mans Color

Jacobs well, Mr.. Graham said:

prejudice. Jesus had no
bigotry. Whether a person
walked different or talked diff
ferent or had a different color
of skin"
The evangelist said God looks
on the heart" not the physical
characteristics; God made Of
one blood all nations"
Mr.. Graham touched on the
subject only briefly. but it is one
which he has mentioned repeat
eddy throughout his New York
crusade. usually with a few quick
but pointed references.
In one sermon, he said he
knew of many Christians who
sit down and sing. oh how /

cause of his color"
ITS an abomination Of God +"
Mr.. Graham added. Its taking
the name Of God in vain"
He said at another meeting,

And it's not confined to one

that accepting Christ transforms
you and changes your attitude

Britain and u. 5.
End A-TaIks
By the Associated Press

British and American atomic
energy chiefs have ended a
three day conference with agree
ment ION a wide range Of
subjects" involved in peaceful
use of atomic energy.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion announced the successful
outcome after a final meeting
yesterday between Sir Edwin
Plowden. chairman of Britain's
Atomic Energy Authority, and
Chairman Lewis Strauss Of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
The brief announcement gave
no specific information on the
kind of agreements reached or
the problems covered.
Britain was known to have
sought more information dur
ing the talks on operations Of
the Nautilus. the worlds first
atomic powered submarine. along
with data on an American pres
surized water reactor which is
being built at Shippingport, Pa,
for electric power production.
In return, the American Gov
eminent requested complete
blueprint information on Brit
aims Calder Hall" gas-cooled

shown uncanny skill in catch
ing the mood of the public.
But for health reasons he is
leading a life which shields
him from the pressures. the
hopes and fears Of the general
run Of people. In the difficult
atomic field. too, it is hardly
surprising that he should want
to rely on his expert.
The trouble is that there are
experts on the other side who
disagree with his expert. Mr..
Strauss. Considerable intoler-
ance is on view, too. The
President has shown himself
to be furious with Acc Com
missioner Thomas Murray who
has had the temerity to dis
pute Mr.. Strauss in public.
Many members of Congress
are just as completely intoler-
ant of Mr.. Strauss.
These personality conflicts
are extremely harmful. They
aggravate the normal tendency
to choose up sides. They prob
ably cause both parties to the
dispute TO exaggerate their
cases. Mr.. Strauss for example
may be unwilling to give any
ground lest the opposing
scientists construe it as weak
ness on his part.
The nature and extent Of the
bitterness mutually felt may
soon be disclosed when the
President dominates two new
persons to be members Of the

A Painless Plan for Foreiqn Aid

the United States in foreign
countries, thus saving all or
much Of the money originally
put in the budget for mutual
security and foreign aid.
There are, Of course, certain
lens that have to be paid
for inside the United States,
such as military hardware"
used in American bases
abroad. But more and more
of the foreign-currency fund
can be converted into dollars,
If necessary, by using barter
methods.
The fact remains that Gov
eminent dollars are being
spent today to help American
farmers get rid of their sur
pluses and to keep farm prices
up. The farm bloc in Congress,
composed of members of both
parties. has put this program
through in the past and stands
back Of it today.
The more SURPRISES sold,
the more money for the for
eign aid program. This can
easily cover the 81 billion al
ready stipulated in the Fed
eral budget for these items
and, if sales of more SURPRISES
of farm products should be-
come necessary. there's plenty
in the West and South where
the present supply has been
produced.
Some will say it's a matter
Of bookkeeping" But so are
many other items of the
budget. and the important
thing is to let the public know
that foreign aid and mutual
security can actually, If Con-
g-eSS wills it so. be obtained
merely by selling more farm
products overseas and finding
ways of utilizing the foreign
currencies even if those cur
rencies have to be sold at a
discount to get dollars. The
accumulation of foreign-cur-
rency funds to date is a siz-
able sum. and more readily
can be added. That's one way
to save budget money and con-
tinue foreign aid at the same
time-one of those necessary
miracles in times like the
present.

Proceeds From Sale of Farm Surplus
Abroad Proposed as Source of Funds

The House Of Representa-
tives was told during debate
this week that. as q result of
farm sales overseas, more than
81 billion now is available in
foreign currencieS for SPEND
ing by the United States Gov
eminent. If the pending leg
islation is passed. approx
mately 81 billion worth of
SURPRISES in the United States
will be ready for disposal
abroad.
Since the legislation was
first passed, agreements have
been made with 80 countries,
covering 81 different disposal
programs. Commodities in
volved in these agreements
have cost the Commodity
Credit Corporation nearly So
billion and only 81 billion
worth has thus far been ex-
ported.
Now there's no reason why
the Government shouldn't buy
more and more of the agricul-
tural surpluses as they arise
and sell them overseas except
that the project has to be
carefully handled so as to
avoid i'll feeling in other pro-
ducing countries which may be
deprived of their markets. But
the best answer to this is that
the world, with its increasing
population. is in need of more
and not less food. Backward
areas are, of course. under
nouriShed and need help.
In a report filed on May 9
by Chairman Cooley of the

it is noted virtually all the
foreign-currency funds used
thus far have been employed
for purchases of strategic ma
terials. military procurement
and economic development,
and for the payment of GER
tain obligations of the United
States Government abroad.
There is no reason why the
same method and formula of
payment cannot be applied to

-Four billion dollars is not
easy to find these days, but
this correspondent believes he
has located inside the Gov
eminent itself approximately
that sum and perhaps more to
pay for the mutual security
and foreign aid program pro-
posed recently by President
Eisenhower. 1t could cut the
budget by "a billion and per-
haps more. And nowadays
anybody who can come up
with q budget cut is supposed
to be in tune with the times.
The 81 billion emerge in the
form Of foreign currencieS that
today are being used by nations
abroad to buy American farm
SURPRISES.
These SURPRISES consist 81
wheat and other grains, dairy
products, fruits and almost
everything else that the
farmer has been able hitherto
to dump on the Government
Of the United States for pur-
chase.
What happens is that, with
the authority Of the Congress,
the farm products are sold
overseas and payments by for
eign governments are made
In foreign currencies. Thus,
anything sold to some coun-
tries would be in the local
equivalent Of pounds or francs
or lire.
These sums have been given
the name counterpart funds"
They usually are spent in the
same countries which buy the
surpluses. But the United
States has troops in some and
military installations in other
countries, and makes all sorts
Of purchases locally.
Up to now only 81 per cent
Of the counterpart funds"
are brought into the Federal
budget and show up in the
form of appropriations or as
receipts when sales are made.
The other 70 per cent doesn't
get into the budget at all, and
only small amounts have been
spent thus far.

Surrender Of Soldiers Rights by u. S.
For Diplomatic Purposes Is Charged

The decision Of the admin
istration to hand over to
Japanese courts Army Special
list SIC William Girard, who in
voluntarily killed a Japanese
woman, has all the earmarks,
inasfar as the American pub
lie is concerned, of a diplomatic
maneuver not to irritate
the people of japan. The &C
quittal Of Sergt. Reynolds,
who had fatally shot a Chinese
intruder in Taipei. has created
such wave of hostility to the
United States, not only in
Formosa but also among other
Asiatics Especially among the
millions of overseas Chinese),
that the State Department did
not relish the idea of an
tagonizing Japan.
Many members of Congress
and the American public gen.
orally now feel strongly that
the State and Defense Depart
ments did not want to damage
our Asiatic bridgeheads fur
ther by having Specialist Gil
rard tried by an American
court-martial. Even the whis-
pered deal" with the Japa-
nese authorities by which the
sentence to be imposed on the
American CT would be even
tually suspended on condition
that the man be sent back to
the United States will not help
the sentiments in this coun-
try. The administration likely
will be assailed for being
guilty of selling the birthrights
of its citizens in uniform sta
toned in foreign lands.
Secretaries Dulles and Will
son are said to be satisfied
from the reports they received
from Tokyo that Specialist
Girard was under no orders
to use the grenade launcher-
even with its empty grenade
against the shell scavengers.
The facts will be developed
at the forthcoming trial in
Tokyo. We have reason to
believe, it is said in RESPONSE
BILE quarters, that the judge
will lean backwards to be fair
and understanding and len
lent.
But the case of the two GIs
raises another problem which
now has been dormant for
some time. Why has the
American Congress, it is asked
by those who criticize the pres
ent action of the administra-
ton, handed over to foreign
courts the fate Of the Ameri-
cans in uniform. who were
ordered abroad and did not go
of their own volition?
In the past. it is observed.
all crimes, large and small,
perpetrated by our soldiers in
foreign lands have been ham
died by American authorities
who punished them according
to American laws. The Status
of Forces Treaties approved
by an overwhelming vote sew
eral years ago by the Senate
provided that alien tribunals
would have jurisdiction over
our uniformed men for all de-
linquencies committed while
not actually on duty. Thus. in
some instances they are re-
ceiving light sentences for ac-
tions which would be severely
punished in the United States.
Other cases. which may be
considered minor infractions
in America. are dealt with
heavily by foreign courts.
For instance: A CT in France
received a very light sentence
for rape. At home he would
have served many years in
prison. The French courts take
a light view of this type of

The complaints on indeScri-

to mount in the County Health
Department, stated DR.. Lucy

Maricopa County Health Depart
ment. The regulations for, coun-
ty trash burning are as follows:
u. Open fires are not permitted
in populous areas.
2. Combustible materials must
be burned in suitable incinerat-
ors and between 600 am. and
1000 am.
g.. Garbage burning is pro-
hibited.
4. Open fires are permitted in
connection with farm operations
provided that the burning of
stubble, brush, grass, cut and
uncut vegetation must be be-
tween the hours of 900 am. and
100 pm.
DR.. Sikorsky stated that cita-
tions will be issued by the Divi-
sion of Sanitation to those resi-
dents not complying with these
regulations.
The County urges you to be a
good neighbor by observing the
legal trash burning hours.
