Latin America
Tour Planned
By Smathers

Senator Smathers, Democrat
Of Florida. is planning to
evaluate the Soviet bloc trade
offensive in Latin America dur
ing a three-week trip to the
Caribbean republics and to
South America.
AS chairman of the Senate
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce subcommittee on Latin
American trade he has sched-
uled a trip beginning shortly
after Congress reconvenes next
month.
The Florida lawmaker, who
has been interested in Latin
American affairs ever since he
came to Congress in 1947. ex-
pressed special interest in any
link between Soviet trade moves
and political ohjectives in the
Western Hemisphere.
Maps Eighth Trip
He said he would like to
ascertain the best ways to help
with the economic development
of the countries to the south
and also hopes to determine
the effect Of United States
trade and economic policies on
nations to which economic aid
has been extended.
The coming trip, tentatively
scheduled to start January Z,
will be the eighth made by
Senator Smathers to Latin
America
His interest in the region
led to a recommendation that
an inter-American police force
be created for the purpose of
preserving law and order in
the hemisphere. He contends
this would allow the 20 Latin
American republics to do away
with their armies and permit
them to spend the money for
such worthwhile projects as
new schools, roads, hospitals
and factories.
The proposal was received
coolly at the State Department
and without visible enthusiasm
at the Pan American Union.
Has Keen Interest
Senator Smathers also had
advocated the establishment of
an Office of Undersecretary of
State for Western Hemisphere
Affairs with the officer en-
powered to make major policy
decisions. The official admins
tration attitude toward this
proposal is that it would be
impractical to have an under
secretary of State only for the
Latin American area.
The Florida Senator indi-
Gated intense interest in the
recent appointment of Mai.
Ernesto (Che) Guevara as head
of the Cuban National Bank.
He expressed the belief that
Mai. Guevara will attempt to
orient Cuba's $3.50 million-a-
year import program to the
Soviet bloc and away from the
United States.
Senator SmatherS said he
will visit Cuba, Haiti, Puerto
Rico and the Dominican Re-
public in the Caribbean area.
Later he expects to go to Vene-
Zuela, the Argentine, Uruguay.
Brazil, Chile, Peru, Ecuador
and Colombia, and possibly
Panama.

EDITORIAL OPINION

ing rs signatures OF DIRECTORS
was passed on to the Village
Trustees for a final decision.
They promptly approved Mrs
Prowell's request without a dis
senting vote.
Does such action on the parl
of the trustees show that they
are trying to represent their con
stituents? They were, without
doubt, aware that the people i'm
mediately affected opposed this
blight to their neighborhood. Is
this government of the people,

On June s, 1859 a public hear
ing was called by. the Robbins
Zoning Board of Appeal to con-
slider the petition of Mrs. Ar
leder Prowell, requesting a vari-
alton to open a pool room at
$500 w. 10th Street. At the
hearing her request was opposed
by the disturbed citizens Of the
immediate area who asked that
this request be turned down for
the following reasons:
l. Such a business would not
be credit to the neighborhood;
2. That such business would
bring into the neighborhood an
element that would eventually
cause trouble;
3. That this area is not zoned
for business, but is strictly resi-.
Dental.
The Zoning Bard heard both
sides and took the case under
advisement for decision at the
next meeting.
At the next meeting the re-
quest of Mrs. Prowell was de-

Lambs
Lamb prices probably have pass
ed heir seasonal peak. which
usually means a steady decline un-
til about August
There could be bounce back
this week after the holiday.
But don't sell your lambs light.
Holding them until they weigh 80
pounds or better will compensate
in grade even at lower prices.
Slaughter has. started to pick up
after light marketings between fed
lamb and spring lamb seasons, and
there will be more lambs this year
Indications are there will be more
western lambs sold for slaughter
this year after a discouraging feed
ing year, but they won't come to
market until late summer or fall.
Best advice is to make sure your
lambs are heavy enough to make
top grade. then watch for the mar
ket to drop off for tWo-three weeks
and sell as it bounces back little
Prime Lambs were bringing S23 IS
to S24.50 with a top Of $25 80 in
Virginia auctions last week, down
some from the week before. In
Chicago good and low choice lambs
were bringing $2l5O to s23 with
a top of $23 so.
Beef Cattle
Every indication poln.s to fall

year, perhaps a shade better
Midwest feeders have already
contracted for western cattle at sc
cents straight for mixed steers and
heifers and 38 cents for steers They

more than that for Virginia calves
There is no indication of taper

But fall will be a good time tt

numbers is the largest ever al
ready, and no end in sight. There's
a day Of reckoning coming nobody
knows when. maybe in the fall Of
! 1860.
n; Veal prices have apparently
settled into their seasonal bottom
which usually lasts through July
and into August
Slaughter this year has been run

Ups Fire Danger

'If fire strikes your property
where will it start? What will
likely cause it?"
These aren't just idle ques-
tions, points out County Exten-
sion Agent George Vapaa.
More than half a million Am
erican homes are destroyed or
damaged by fire each year, he
said. On the basis of the ma
tional average, some home in
your general neighborhood will
be involved in fire this very
year. Don't let it be your house.
In farm homes, faulty heat
ing and cooking equipment start
more fires than any other single
cause. Actually, defective stoves
and heaters, along with defec-
tive chimneys and sparks from
chimneys, are responsible for al,
most half of all fires in farm
dwellings, he says.
Careless use of gasoline and
kerosene, electrical faults in
wiring and appliances and light
are high on the list. Careless
smoking habits and children
playing with matches are Other
important causes.
In barns and outbuildings, the
major fire hazard is spontane,
Gus ignition in hay, corn and
fertilizer. Other most frequent
causes are electrical | faults
lightning, defective h e tin G
equipment, and careless hand,
ling of gasoline and oil.
do these facts suggest
check-up and cleanup of con-
ditions that could cause a fire
in your home or other build,
ings?" ''Plan ahead" Mr.. Va
paa said. "Afterthought is toe

Grams, according to the chief
executive, "as citizens, keep up
the good fight for a strong and
free United States of America"
In his proclamation, Governor
Boggs traced the development
of the November III observance,
pointing out that, as "Armistice
Day, it initially commemorated
the ending of World War | and
provided a means of paying tri-
butte to the heroes of that tragic
struggle" Later, according to
the gubernatorial proclamation,
the name of the holiday was
changed to Veterans Day" in
order to "expand the signifi-
canoe of that commemoration
and in order that a grateful Ma
ton might pay appropriate hon.
age to the veterans of all its
wars who have contributed so
much to the preservation of this
Nation"
Governor Boggs, himself a
veteran of World War II combat
service, also praised the men,
bers of veterans organizations
as leaders in proclaiming the
American Way of Life"

Canadian Players
Return To II. of ID.

For the third successive year
the Canadian Players will ap-
pear on the campus of the Uni
versity of Delaware as a part
of the annual Artists Series.
The Players are the only nom
musical group included in the
series.
This year the we'll known
theatrical company will present
Anton Chekov's "The Cherry
Orchard" one of the monu-
ments of modern drama. 1t is
especially appropriate because
of the commemoration of the
famous Russian playwright's
birth this season. Chekov was
born in 1860.
The performance will be pre-
sented at BIS p.m., Friday, No
vember 6, in Mitchell Hall audi
torium. 1t is an optional selec-
ton for season ticket holders,
but previous performances by
the Canadian Players have been
presented before near-capacity
houses. Tickets are available at
the university bookstore in the
Student Center.
The Canadian Players were
formed in 1854 by Tom Patter-
son, founder of Canada's STRAIT
ford Shakespearean Festival, and
the brilliant actor-director Doug
las Compbell. Since then it has
become one of the most vital
classical touring companies in
the world. The first small group
of actors, taken from the STRAIT
ford Festival, has developed in
to a truly representative Can
adian Company.
In its five years its plays
have been seen by audiences
from Canada's Northlands, to
the southern United States.
Everywhere, audiences and crit
les have acclaimed this young
and vigorous Canadian group.
The Canada Council, created
as a philanthropic body to aid
the most deserving of its coun-
try's cultural endeavours, chose
the Canadian Players as the
first recipient of a substantial
grant from its fifty million dol
lar endowment fund.
