A Hazard Exists - So Let's Fix 1t!

FENHE NEW ROAD TO THE AIRPORT is popular A road where cars may travel and the drivers wish for the day when there will be many more miles of asphalt. There is, however, thing wrong with the road It is the most dangerous stretch of road that we have When icy the asphalt will be treacherous the turn just past Belmont Point It should not be necessary to wait until there is casualty before guard rail is installed
 The new state has been advertising safety code which tightens up the law in respect to drivers and insurance. This safety code should also provide that hazards on the roads be properly marked
 This particular hazard is within the city limits but is on highway thoroughfare It is little con- fusing to place the responsibility for this safeguard but the fact remains that the hazard exists for every one who drives over the airport road.
 Winter is not far aWay-action should be taken immediately to correct the condition.

II the visits between Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Premier
Khrushchev opening today do
in fact mark a new era of
improved relations between the
United States and the Soviet
Union, they must also mark a
new era of trade between us.
Unless these talks turn out
to be an abysmal failure, we
are on the threshold of ex-
banding trade with the Soviets.
1t will take time TO develop
large-scale commerce, but sales
TO and purchases from Russia
already are climbing. Russia is
unlikely to become a major
trading area for the United
States in the foreseeable flu
ture. But she will shift from
a virtually nonexistent to at
least a minor trading partner
and our sales to the USSR will
become a factor in our employ
ment and paychecks.
Basics Of Situation
Dig into the basics Of the
commercial relations between
West and East and the logic of
this will emerge.

Blair Surgical
Has New Branch

Blair Surgical Supply Inc,
the oldest and first registered
medical supply house in the
state, has opened a new
branch in the Monterey shop
pring center at Speedway and
Wilmot.
Blair Surgical was opened
in 1887 by Mrs. Virginia Blair
after she completed her
nurses training. This will be
the first time a surgical sup
ply branch has been placed in
a shopping center, but Mrs.
Blair believes this will make
it more convenient for GUS
toners to obtain health equip
ment.
Walter M. Smith will be the
manager of the new branch.
He is an experienced ortho-
pedic brace-maker and surgi-
cal supply consultant. The
new branch will fe a tu r e
braces of all types, surgical
belts, elastic stockings and
breast prostheses. An oxygen
therapy department also has
supplies and equipment for
rental and purchase. The
store will carry physician,
dentist and nurses supplies
and a complete sick room
rental service.

will that softens much Of the
normal irritation.
Third. most American mill
taTy and government people
here fail to make reasonable
attempts to make friends with
the Filipinos.
Fourth, the rate of exchange
set by the Philippine govern
ment and the poor but expen-
sive housing provided military
families by the American Gov
ernment sour many Americans
on their Philippine tour of duty.
Fifth, gangs of thieves, aided
by some Americans, make ii
unsafe to leave possessions un-
guarded.
Sixth, the Philippine govern
ment has a long list of claims
against the American govern
ment most arising out of war
damage. most of which the
United States refuses to pay.
Thievery seems to have gen.
Grated the most excited head
lines and political speeches
Representative Weaver, Repub-
lican of Nebraska, has even
suggested that the thievery
is part of a calculated plan of
harassment by the Philippine
government.
More than 100000 worth of
American government property
has been stolen here this year.
Clark Air Force Base has
counted 46l intrusions into
the base by thieves. In recent
weeks the thieves have been
armed. Americans have been
held up, bound and robbed.
Fraction of Value
But the stolen goods repre-
sent only a tiny fraction of
the value of American property
here. Loss of goods for the post
exchanges. for instance, runs
less than l per cent.
And this month the Philip
pine Constabulary has been
helping to patrol the 27 miles
Of fence around Clark Field.

Bases in Philippines
Safe, Despite Friction

for instance, in Korea, though
more than in Japan. And
Americans can feel safer on the
streets of Manila than on some
sidewalks in New York.
Then why the recent alarm
over Observation-Disclosures rela-
tionS?
1t seemed to start about six
months ago with minor and
unrelated incidents. The Incl
dents were magnified by the
less responsible press of Manila
and the United States and by
a handful of talkative politi-
clans from both countries.
The friction was seized on by
a small minority of liberal in
tellectualS here as fuel for their
Filipino First" campaign. This
group has tried to take over
the normal nationalist trend in
this new country, but it has
succeeded only in embarrassing
the majority of Filipinos.
Friction" Issues
What does the genuine fric-
ton boil down to?
First, the FilipinoS want a
more equitable agreement on
American bases. They want the
standard treaty signed by other
countries, and negotiations are
expected to end early next year
on just such an agreement.
Second. FilipinoS are almost
as irritated by the presence of
foreign, troops on their soil as
are other Asians and Euro
peans-"almost" because there
seems to be a reservoir of good

inside men" in the robber
gangs are caught.
Meanwhile, Philippine gov
ernment officials, like Presi-
dent Carlos P. Garcia and De-
fense Secretary Alejo S. Santos
deplore the recent friction and
assure Americans they are well
come.
Mr.. Santos compared Rep
reSentative Weaver's anti-Phil-
ippine statements with the
anti-American outburstS of the

with good results. The special
constabulary force was pro-
vided, incidentally, two weeks
after the Americans requested
it-lightning- like speed for this
part of the world.
1t is interesting that there
are no reports of violence
against Americans except nor
NAL barroom fights one finds
around all military bases. The
two kidnapings were part of a
robbery attempt.
Thievery was common in the
Philippines even before the war
when America was responsible
for law and order. 1t has al
ways been normal practice for
homeowners to hire guards for
their property.
Thievery Increased
Thievery grew during the war
when it was patriotic to steal
from the Japanese-run gov
ernment and continued after
the war when the American
forces left surplus property ly-
ing unguarded.
Today the Philippine army
suffers as much as the Ameri-
can. The problem is likely to
continue until the Philippine
police and courts become more
ethcient and until American
