Kingwood Boy Held
On Bad Check Count

Billy Reese Parker. IS, of King
wood, w. Va, was being detained
in Jail at Columbus, Ohio, for in
vestigation of passing bad checks
Parker was arrested at a used
car dealers lot in Columbus after
he had given the dealer S7,400
check for the purchase of two cars.
Parker drove a Cadillac to the
dealers place and said he wanted
to buy two cars. He gave a sales
man a check and the alleged name
of the president of the bank on
which the check was written. The
dealer called the man at a num-
Der given by Parker and was told
the check was good. Parker then
drove one auto off and said he
would return Friday morning for
the other car
However the dealer called the
bank again and was told the check
was no good. SO when Parker drove
up Friday morning detectives were
waiting. Parker also is wanted by
authorities in Preston county and
i'm Oakland Bruce Close, deputy
sheriff, said Parker was wanted
here for passing an apparently
worthless check amounting to $3.50

Mr.. Robertson has made
numerous speeches about the
whole China problem In the
last few years. and has been
perhaps the country's most
outstanding champion Of the
American policy In the Far
East. He says opposition to
the Red China regime is not
based on "disapproval Of an
theology or an economic sys-
tenn. much as we abhor both"
He asserts that American
policy is based ION the col
lective security Of the free
world" He sees any possible
acceptance Of Red China's
regime as meaning the hqui-
dalton Of American alliances
in the Philippines and South
east Asia, danger to the Ko-
rean Republic and the coll

Mr.. Robertson points out
that very few countries have

adds:
Instead Of being isolated,
we stand with the overwhelm-
ing majority Of the countries

Walter Robertson'S espousal

Many Convinced He Is Serious Candidate
As He Pieoses Press, Pushes Tax Plan

SACRAMENTO. Calif.-A
few short months have con-
WINGED California Democrats
that their new Governor,
Edmund g. (Pat) Brown,
takes himself seriously as a
dark-horse candidate for
President.
Here, at least, key figures
are falling in line with great
rapidity and even some opti-
mism. This puts the Califor-
mia primary on limits to
other candidates unless they
are willing TO take the risks
involved in a battle royal
with Brown. Lacking a VIC
tory in one of the few big
States where the privilege of
presidential preference vot-
ing exists in advance of the
convention, it seems unlikely
that any candidate can reach
Los Angeles next July with q
commanding lead.
Significantly, Brown has
aggresSively attacked pro-
poSals to abolish the direct
presidential primary here.
Such a proposal is before
the state Legislature and on
the Senate floor for roll call.
The Governor says the cleo
ton laws need reform in the
direction OF broadening Of
democratic processes. not

Brown is only the first of a
number who intend to make

State delegations.
What remains to be seen is
whether any senatorial as

In, the last few years Italy.
Germany and France have
made important efforts to
bring their military estab-

have helped the Italian re-
public substantially to recov-

been in vain. Italy, despite
the Communist Party tnu-
merically the largest in Eu-
rope), has a ground force Of
some IL divisions, which ac-
cording to our military men
constitutes a force to be reck-
oned with in its assigned area.
The Italian air force also
has improved considerably.
while the italian navy will,
when the present building
program is completed, be
ahead quantitatively Of the
British in the Mediterranean.
This military strength,
backed by an improving
economy. makes Italy-once
a liability to the Western
alliance-one of the stars in
the l5-member coalition.
The numerical strength Of
the Communists, once a
headache to our military and
political planners, is no
longer a threat, especially
since the power of the Com
munist Party in France has
been broken. The members
Of the Italian Communist
Party are more opportunists
than convinced Marxists.

pace and attitude has been
the major factor in a changed
feeling about his potential
tiles and ambition. He was
always a careful, agreeable
and industrious politician.
Now. with a million plurality
under his belt, he has been
bold and decisive to a degree
that, to use the old phrase,
has astonished his enemies
and delighted his friends.
Like Gov. Rockefeller in
New York. he has grasped
the tax nettle-and is having
the same trouble about it
with a Legislature controlled
by his own party. Rockefeller
prevailed without much
blood-letting. Brown starts
next week with a speech
making sweep through the
State in an effort to line I'D
public support for his pro-
gram.
There is some evidence
that the State party has not
been able to make the transit
ton from vocal minority
without responsibility to a
majority which has both
power and responsibility.
Some senior members of the
Legislature have old alliances
with Republicans which put
Democratic policy and the
