U. 5. LABOR LEADER URGES WASHINGTON TO

WASHINGTON, May. 10. (UP).
Union leader Serafino Romualdi
declared today that U. S. labor
will step up its efforts to streng-

American republics, but also urged
the us. Government to revise its

Romualdi, AFL-CIO representa-

that incidents as those during Vice

kendwas Gets World Bank
Loan For Highway projeels

WASHINGTON The World
Bank recently made a loan OF
SIS million to Honduras for
highway development. The loan
will be used for the construction
Of q new paved highway to con
meet Puerto CorteS, the main Ca
ribbean port, with the national
road network; and for the i'm
provement Of the Western and
Southern Highways. The Western
Highway serves one OF the most
heavily populated regions of Hon
duras; the Southern Highway links
Tegucigalpa, the capital, with the
Pan American Highway and with
the Pacific ports. The loan will al

al engineering designs for extend
ing the Western Highway to link
it with the highway network of
FL Salvador.
The Bank of America and the
National Bank of Washington are
participating in the loan, without
the World Banks guarantee, to the
extent of $229, 900. This repre-
sents the first two maturities and
part of the third and fourth ma
turtles which fall due between
March l, 1861 and September l,
1852.
The total cost of the projects
being undertaken is estimated at
81 million lempiras ($10.5 mil
hon). The Bank loan will finance
the cost of imported equipment,
materials and services, and the loo
n currency costs will be met by
4 loan from the United States De-
velopment Loan Fund, to be amor
tized over the same period as the
Bank loan. The construction pro.
jects will be carried out under
unit price contracts to be awarded
on the basis of international COM
petitive bidding; they should be
completed in about two and a half

WASHINGTON UP - Vice Pre-.
sident Richard NJ. Nixon feels that
us, diplomats in South America
have been spending too much IT,
me in the drawing rooms of rulers
and the socially elite and not
with the ordinary people, it was
disclosed today.
1t can be reported on high autho-
rity that he returned from his trip
convinced that the United States
must start devoting more attention
to the aspirations of the masses if
it is to stave off growing commu-
mist influence south of the border.
One of his mayor recommendations
when he reports to President Eli
senhower will be that US. diplo-
mats increase thei contracts with
students, labor leaders, teachers
and lntellectuals.
In too many countries, the Vice
President has told friends, US.
Diplomacy is still geared to the
old idea of dealing with ruling
group and mingling with the veal
thy.
The time has come, he feels, to
get diplomatic contact work by the
State Department, the US. Infor-
nation Agency, and other Ameri-
can representations out of the So
cial echelon and into the work
room and the clasSrooms.
He believes Latin America is a
top priority objective of the Com
muniSt and that they are concen-
trating mainly on wooing labor lea
derS and the so-called intelligent
STA. But he feels that the Commu-
nists have not yet made major
inroads among the Latin American
masses.
The Vice President also was re-
ported greatly concerned about
thorny issue Of US. dealings with
Latin American relationships. He
has described these relations as a
weight around the State Depart
ment's neck in trying to Keep the
friendship of the Latin American
people.
Not even in the US. diplomatic
corps, Nixon feels, is there enough
realization of the depth of Latin
feelings on the dictatorship issue.

LIZZIE AND THE OLD CAT
@What kind of a church would our
church be
IL every member were just like me"

Just the other evening / shared
the meeting of a group of people
who, in the field of evangelism, had
assembled to study a problem COM
mon to all Christian congregations,
the problem of rekindling and of
deepening the interest of members
in the work of their church and
eliciting from them a wider partici-
patton in that work. All this sent
my thinking to interesting chan
nels. Follow me, please.
First of all, memory's magic car
pet carries me back to the close
of the horse-and-buggy era when
the motor industry was still in its
swaddling clothes. At that time
one of Henry Ford's many daugh-
ters-then commonly called LiZzies
had her boudoir back of the Wis
consin Church | used to serve. On
frosty mornings | often watched
the owners son courting Lizzie with
a strong arm and an iron crank,
painfully soliciting her to get start
ed and help deliver the morning
orders of groceries. But Lizzie had
an obstinate disposition. Though
her suitor cranked until his elbows
squeaked, her only response was
an occasional sputter. But Lizzie's
delays were not denials. After fur
ther protracted solicitation she US
ually changed her mind-as other
of her sex are wont to do-started
with snort and sped away to her
tasks.
How much all this reminds one
of the work of the average pastor.
Before he, or any of his workers
or committees, can get anywhere in
many undertakings there are al
ways a few Lizzies-and Henrys,
too-who must first be cranked up
to go. This or that does not suit
them; they have not been consulted
in the planning, do not like the
chosen leaders, or for some equally
inane reason are lOathe to share
the work. So the pastor, or the
others, must argue, persuade and
demonstrate to a wearying and
infinitum. And with what results?
Usually backfiring-the backfiring
of angry words with an occasional
expletive mixed in.
Now the days of cranking an au-
tomobile are past-thank goodness
for that. Just step on a button, the
giant in a box" spins the motor,
and away you go. How we pastors
sometimes wish we could attach
one of these self-starters to some
of the members of our church!
And now, side by side with these
"hard-starters'' I would sketch a
