last summer that some $23 bill

the 1858 fiscal year. This esti-
mate was reduced to $21 billion.

The Air Force now has about

with the latter predominant.
Russia has an estimated 1,100

The B-52s are scheduled to
replace the B-36 bomber fleet
and the Air Force also will form

ARE scheduled to be scrapped
since they cannot be converted
to either tanker or transport

dence in the police force idea Is
very high. The East is more re-
strained and the Midwest might
be described as lukewarm. But
even If every Don't know" OF

cast against it, the idea of a po-

would still gain a majority in

+ New Thinking -.
Thinking in terms of an inter-
national force to keep world law
and order is a new thing for the
American people. Even when we
we're fulF involved in World
War II. fifteen years ago, our
obvious desire was to stay clear
of actual ties with other coun-
tries once the war was won
Against this background. it is
remarkable that we find ourselves
now taking the U. N. as much for
granted as We do. 1t is even more
remarkable that we are so ready
to go along with the idea OF a
standing U. N. force-not one
Just thrown together hastily for
a time Of emergency. but one
which would be a safeguard
against emergencies arising. and
ready to nip one in the bud if il
did. Our old ways Of thinking
have been dear to us, but our
survival seems to be dearer.
How much OF this feeling is
just a willingness to follow Mr.
Eisenhower's lead? 1t is hard to
tell. His own emphasis seems
now to have shifted to more reli-
ance on United States power and
policy to prevent conflict from
Iflaring up again. When we ask
this question again some months
from now. we shall be able to get
some indication of how solidly
grounded these attitudes are
among the American people.

Based on Air Show
The original estimateAof Rus

1855. AS a result of those esti-
mates there were congressional
hearings.
Gen. Nathan F. Twining. Ali

Spain Shokeup Reported

MADRID, Spain, Feb. % (P1.-
A reliable government source
said today Gen. Francisce Franco
dismissed his cabinet ministers
last night and told them "a new
period" of Spanish political his
tory is beginning.
No public announcement Of
the cabinet crisis has been made
The informant, who was pres
ent at meeting of the cabinet
last night, said Gen. Franco tolc
the ministers their tasks hac
ended. He thanked them fol-
their collaboration and asked
them to continue in their posts
until the new cabinet is APP
pointed. This is expected in the
next few days.
There were indications some
of the ministers will be kept in
the new cabinet but Gen. Franco
gave no hint as to which.

who apparently believed he
would not be continued imme-
diately Cancelled a trip he was to
make tomorrow to inaugurate a

Although Gen. Francois re-
ported action brought the cabi-
net crisis into the open, its ex-
istence has been common knowl-
edge since Jose Luis Arrese, min
lister secretary general Of the
Falange Party, tried to resign
January 7.
/ Cause Of the crisis has been
the basic incompatibility be-
tween the Falange. SPANS only
political party, and the Mon
archists. Mr.. Arrese tried to re-
sign because he believed Gen,
Franco was siding with the
MonarchiSts.
Opposition Tide Rises
AT stake were two proposed
constitutional laws designed to
give the Falange greatly in
creased power, increasing the i'm
portance of the party's national
council to provide it veto power
over the Cortes parliament.
The texts of the proposed bills
became known last fall and a
rising tide of opposition has
spread over the country, espe-
clally among monarchists. the
army and in Roman Catholic
circles.
/ At the same time the Falange
| is divided between old doctrin-
aires. like Mr.. Arrese, who detest
the idea of restoration of the
monarchy, and more moderate
group, headed by former party
chief Raimuno Fernandez Gu
esta. who are willing to go along
with restoration as long as Fa-
LANCE rights are maintained.
Martin Shift Seen
Mr.. Arrese replaced Fernandez
Cuesta in a cabinet reshuffle last

dents and Falangists.

A short time ago We asked a

and detailed question about

This is a very explicit ques-
ton. Moreover. one reason for

provided for anybody who wants
to seize it. The question was
not asked in a time of interna-

the grim background of the

answers have a great deal of

too early to predict how much feed will have to be imported because weather conditions the balance of the season can greatly effect the amount of forage grown and some silage plantings are still being made. How much
 grain acreage will be cut for forage is not yet known and the severity and length of next win ter can make great difference in feed consumed, he pointed out.
 Statistics prepared by the De- partment show that 1857 had the driest Spring on record in the railbelt area, with temperatures well above normal. The closest parallel was in 1850. This year first precipitation came 10 days later than in 1850. The report states that the early freezeup iii the fall of 1856 probably caused less of the late fall moisture to penetrate the ground for storage over winter.
 Wilson's report shows that grass that survived the winter made virtually no growth for hay or pasture use by July 1. Rains in late June were sufficient to short growth but only one crop will De possible, with yields ex- pected about 50 percent of nor nal.
 The commissioner pointed out that considerable increase in grain plantings were made this year in response to the consruc- tion of drying and storage facil- ities and improved market pros poets. Being an early seeded crop it has been stunted and delayed in its growth. Predictions are for yield reductions of up to 30 per cent, he said.
 As a whole, he said, potato and vegetable crops should not be too seriously affected by the drought although some plantings of carrots failed to germinate and stands of potatoes are irregular because of dry conditions.

cover how you got there. It

Cites Value Of Prayer
Its a deep emotional shock
to all Of us. Jon, but sometimes,
during periods like this. if we
quietly and sincerely seek the
truth and get down on our knees
and ask God to show us the
light. He answers our prayers.
Suddenly we find the solu-
lions to what we thought we're

think God has answered my
prayers, Jon. and I'm going to
try to put down in writing for
you the information which I be-
lieve came directly from Him.
1T takes a mature mind to
understand God. 1t takes a
mature mind to understand that
Gods laws are absolute. that
they act automatically. that
whatever we ask for in His name
has already been provided for,
that the sins for which we ask
forgiveness have already been
forgiven.

immature.
Its the men and women with
the minds Of children who cause
Jail the trouble and heartaches in
the world
1T took your daddy more than
so years to grow up. Jon, and
that's the main reason why you
are sitting in jail right now.
Crimes are committed by people
who have never grown up and
by the sons and daughters of
people who have never really
grown up.
Christ's Simple Teachings
There is only one man who
ever reached the zenith Of mental
maturity. He lived on earth 1000
years ago. II all men could
understand His teachings. we
would have no further use for
jails, or even locks and keys.
what Christ taught was as
easy as simple arithmetic, yet,
like simple arithmetic. some peo-
pie just can't understand it. All
of His teachings care that we
must live and love and under
stand each other. :.
TOO many Of us are wrapped
UP in a small. selfish world OF
our own making.
There Is not much I could
add to the above, Jon. If you can
understand 1t and take 1t into
your heart. you need never again
worry about your future. God
