fractions, will have its fifth re-
newal at University of Delaware

The Blues and Colds, each 80
strong and all June High school

Gas Truck Driver
Severely Burned;
Gardner Family
Made Homeless

A family of six was made
homeless and the driver of a
gas tank was hospitalized as
the result of a fire at the home
of Wilson Gardner, Fleming's
Landing, east of Smyrna, Tues
day afternoon. Thomas Maull,
S. State ST., Dover, is in fair
condition at Kent General Hos
pital, suffering second degree
burns of the arms and face.
MauH, a driver of Suburban
Propane Gas truck was deliver
ing gas at the Gardner home
about 1890 p. m. 1t is believed
that the tank was too full and
when the driver opened a re-
lief valve, due to the location
of the gas tank in a corner of
the building, the dissipating gas
was ignited by hot water heat
er on the back porch, a few
feet from the tank. A flash fire
followed in the form of a slight
explosion which burned Maull
on the arms and face. The flash
also burned the hose used to
fill the tank. According to fire.
men, great praise is due the
driver, for after suffering these
burns he attempted again to get
to the tank to close the valve
but was unable to do so due to
the intense heat. He loaded the
hose on the truck and drove it
safe distance from the build
ing. When Mrs. Gardner heard
the flash she left the house to
go to the driver to see if she
could get help and could not
return to the house. Upon ar
rival of the volunteers of the

his death last Saturday night
when his car ran out of control
near Kenton. A pursuing troop

the dead youth, Thomas De
Shong apparently dozed off. He
said John E. Voshell, also l8,
of Dover, were on their way
home from the Picadelly Palace,

Maryland state line. Voshell was
unconscious when pulled from

Kent General Hospital with cuts
of the head and body. De Shong
was dead on arrival at Dover
Air Force Base Hospital. The
trooper said he saw the De
Shong car travelling on the
wrong side of County Route
129 near Kenton at about 10
p. m. Before he could catch up
with it, it ran off the road, skid
ded 300 feet on its side, COM
ing to a stop in ditch and
bursting into flame. Voshell told
police that he and De Shong
were not driving fast and were
unaware that a trooper was fol-
lowing them. He said he be-
lieved De Shong must have doz-
ed off. A military funeral was
held Tuesday from the Daniel
Funeral Home, Townsend, with

Whichever candidate the
American voters choose to
be the next President will be
certain to face a foreign pol
icy situation that will make
the debate over the present
policies seem academic.
Indeed, it is regrettable
that the outgoing Eisenhower

to meet a swiftly developing
revolution in the information
al situation with day-to-day
improvisations. knowing that
a new administration will
take over on next. January 20

But the depressing aspect
Of this situation is that there

whatever Of truly major sta

the pattern.
The world has nowhere
near reached the goal Of true

knew at the time that Mr..
Khrushchev and his bully
boys would be on hand.
Obviously somebody i'm
portant thought it worth
while to raise the postpone
ment issue. Mr.. Lodge him
self. a shrewd politician, was
already an active candidate
for Vice President and Pres
ident Eisenhower was press
ing his claims. 1t would be
only logical to clear the mat
ter with Mr.. Nixon since he
stands to gain or lose so
much by public reaction to
administration handling of
foreign affairs.
Senator Johnson believes
that his showing of the adj
miniStration consideration
and rejection of postpone
ment Of the U.N. session
vitiates Mr.. Nixon's conten-
ton that 1t is somehow un-
patriotic now to discuss for
eign policy. Even without
the Macomber letter, Sena-
tor Kennedy had rejected
the Nixon argument.
Nobody, Of course. knows
which party will be hurt by
the ugly developments which
are the U.N.'s daily fare. Mr..

play it by ear from now on;
he really has no other alter

What were Soviet plans
for the Congo?
And why has Mr.. Khru-
shcheV acted as he has?
Information now available
to the United Nations from
the military command in
the Congo which captured
Lumumba's records lets US
know.
Just one item promised
was four hospitals. The So
VETS had pledged to build
them, and to have medical
schools in connection with
each. In addition to the fac
ulty, the Russians agreed to
provide all the textbooks-in
French-the official language
of the one time Belgian
colony.
In addition, there were
promises to send in men to
reopen and run the various
metal mines, to restore the
school system, and public
health. It is the judgment
Of our experts these promises
would have been kept. In
deed, at the time the mill
tary coup removed Lumumba
from office, about 5000 So
Wet technicians already had
arrived in the Congo.
Two deductions and one
conclusion may be drawn
from this:
/. Nikita Khrushchev lost a
diplomatic contest in the
United Nations. He was out
pointed on Dag Hammar-
skiold and on Red China.
Our people are pleased that
neutralist support was strong
for the democracy of the
United Nations and unwilling
to join with Mr.. Khrushchev.
But, they emphatically do
not believe they hurt Mr.. K.
save, perhaps, in his vanity.
He is not groggy. And he
may well have won more by
his furious demand that all
colonialism be Immediately
abolished than he lost. 1t now
is generally believed that Mr..
K. did not have too much
hope of obtaining support of
his motion to condemn Mr..
Hammarskjold and to replace
him with a three-man COM
mittee.

that the Washington leader
ship has been so poor that
American prestige has di-
minished throughout the

If what the critics are say
ing about their own country

If he provokes a crisis, the
Government here will feel
powerless to take stern meas
ures therein.
In the month between now

Soviet leader would take

it be safely assumed that he

be a change Of administration

be the time that Nikita Khru-

a crisis Of major proportions?
No government with a par
liamentary system would hold
an election under similar
circumstances but would tend
to postpone it until times
were calmer.
To people abroad, the COM
ing election in the United
States hangs on an issue we'll
known throughout the world
"a vote Of confidence or a
vote Of no confidence in the

Khrushchev is deeply inter-
ested in the American cleo

him a cue for his big moves
