BabsOn Discusses Dulles And Herter

What History Teaches
We know that an able jurist like
Mr.. Dulles expects nations and in
dividuals to carry out their agree
nents. and for this policy he has
given his life Mr. Herter expects
history and events to repeat their
actions, and upon this he bases his
recommendations Although he has
always gone along with the team
Of which he was a member, he
fearlessly states his belief. Mr.. Dull
les has referred to Russian agree
ments as 1.-THE crust of a pie to be
broken. while Mr.. Herter has
learned from history that progress
has sometimes come even from
broken agreements.

The only real answer can come from Ike
himself. and it takes an experienced trans
lator to give any meaning to what he says
in his crcletalking news conferences
Reporting on the Presidents news con
ference at the White House, May -, 1859,
I. s. News and World Report gives the fol

NJ their readers to decide just what the
heck Ike does think:

school segregation He was asked to assess
the nations response to this challenge of a
great legal and social change"
THE PRESIDENT: well. YOU are ask
ing what has happened as a result of that
decision. and, Of course there has been
much acclaim. and there has been much re-
sentiment that, UP until that moment had
not been created.

never stopped sin BY passing laws, and, in

Washington, D. G.. May %
Economy forces in Washington are
now convinced that they have a
vastly improved opportunity to hold
the line against the astronomical
spending programs OF the New

There are a number of reasons
for this increased confidence OF
major importance is the effective
grass roots campaign against
Wasteful and unessential govern

Economy advocates are quick to
point out that their ultimate sue
cess depends on the degree of sup

lournment of Congress- Members
of Congress are responsive to such
sentiment.
The prospects of obtaining a bal

Another Step Forward

THE leaders in the Little Boys Baseball
League for the Town of Farmvile and
the surrounding area deserve the unquai-
fled support and undying thanks Of every
person in the area. Anyone who has seen
the regulation size little boys league field
taking shape just beyond the swimming
pool, can readily appreciate the time, sweat
and energy poured into the project by its
adult supporters.
Anyone who can see the happy faces Of
the youngsters TRYING out for the first
place teams, can also understand the glow
of inner satisfaction that these adults de-
rive from their labors.
The way has not been easy for the organ
izers Of the Little Boys Baseball League
Fortunately in the beginning they did not
stop long enough to consider how much
work would be in the project. A group Of
friends We're talking together over a cup of
coffee about two months ago. and almost
spontaneously they decided to get the ball
rolling on d Little BOYS Baseball League

that's the way the plans mushroomed.
1t was almost beyond physical hope that
the field could be ready for play this sum
mer, but this group never stopped to fig
ure that out On they pushed, with an idea
of getting the project done and the field
ready for play 1t has taken 4 lot OF per
sonal sacrifices, but it has pushed forward
at unbelievable speed and will be operating
at full blast this summer
The Little Boys League has received en-
thusiatic support all along the way. and
we know the adult leaders feel much more
secure with solid community spirit be-
hind them. The Recreation Association en-
dorsed the plans wholeheartedly. and read
lily made available the area just beyond the
swimming pool to be developed as the field
site.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature Of
the development Of the Little Boys Base
ball League is the fact there has been no
fund drive. There have been some fine do
nations to the project, but these have not
been the result of fund drive The fence
around the park was donated, and the adj

will help a great deal. The proceeds from
