year. The parley ended with
q mandate from our allies TO
meet the Russians at a sum-
NIT conference.
For the last two years our
allies have been letting down
their military guard. The
French have been using the
remainder Of their combat
trained forces In fighting a
hopeless war in Algeria: the
British have cut deeply into
their military establishment
because their economy could
no longer stand even the rel
atively small outlay for armed
forces. Our staunch West
German allies have been
dragging their feet and are
now In favor Of talking to
the Russians" in the hope
that somehow or other such
talks would bring about re-
unification Of divided Ger
many.
The launching Of the Sput-
niks and the almost hysterical
reaction to this feat In the
United States has weakened
our position with the rank and
file Of our Western allies. For
weeks their newspapers hare

that America Is scared Tor

our NATO allies in Western
Europe told us that the battle
was lost and We might just
as well rely on skillful negoti-
atoms to save something out
Of the wreck.
To disprove the defeatist
sentiment Of our allies, the
administration under the

decided TO embark on q sound

CASE AGAINST SCHEIDT
Charlotte News)

There is one utterly foolproof
method of determining the APP
proach of a new session of the Cen
eral Assembly. Merely count the
denunciations of the State High
way Patrol.
Ever since Edward Scheidt came
to Raleigh from the FBI as COM
missioner of motor vehicles, a
noisy minority has waged war on
his strict but unusually effective
methods of reducing highway IA
talities in North Carolina. The din
is invariably deeper before every
legislature, for it is then that the
whammy, unmarked patrol cars
and other psychological weapons in
Mr.. Scheidt's arsenal go on trial.
It's started again.
Critics have charged that the
whammy is a worthless nuisance,
that unmarked patrol cars are "un-
fair" and that patrolmen are
spending too much time in the
shrubbery taking speed checks and
not enough time on the road.
The whammy worthless? "Since
1852, when the whammy was put
to use," Mr.. Scheidt told the Ra-
leigh News & Observer last week,
"there has been a consistent re-
duction in traffic deaths" How
consistent? "By rs per cent" he
said.
Unmarked patrol cars 'unfair?"
Then night watchmen, detectives
and buglar alarms are unfair.
Too many patrolmen in the
bushes? "There are only 60 speed
Watches" said Mr.. Scheidt. "Only
about one to every nine patrolmen
Only 8 per cent of a patrolman's
time is spent operating a watch. y

Mr.. Scheid's critics most is that he

al traffic laws. Mr.. Scheidt is in
sisting that the law means what ii
says. Violate it and you get tick
ct. Observe it and you have moth
ing to worry about.

BONUS BENEFIT
NASHVILLE Graphic)

NANNSA'iNN NiopiiiSI
Three communities in Nash
County received a bonus benefit
from their well-organized fire de-
partments this week in the form
Of reduced insurance rates. The
three fortunate communities are
Red Oak, West Mount and Stoney
Creek.
The fire departments in the
three communities have met re-
quirements of the State Insurance
Department for the reduced rates
in their respective fire districts.
In most cases, insurance prem
iums on farm property will drop
from u cent per $500 to 4S cents.
This represents a savings of
thirty-three and one-third per cent.
Applied against all insured farm
property in the three communities,
it means a tremendous reduction
in the cost of insurance.
Some expense, of course, is in
volved in purchasing the equip
ment that is necessary in order
for fire departments to meet
standards set by the State Insur-
ance Department. Considering saw
ings that result from reduced
rates, however, the cost is trivial.
The Red Oak, West Mount and
Stoney Creek fire departments are
to be commended. Their achieve
ment should serve as an incentive
to other departments to obtain the
same bonus benefit for the dis
tricts they serve.
