The Answer is EYES"

GENERAL people have asked the ques-
ton: Are State scholarships avail
able to all children attending a private
non-sectarian SCHOOL," The answer is
"Yesn'
State scholarships are available to
all children, regardless of race, who are
attending private non-sectarian school
in the county in which they reside, or
in a private non-sectarian school out
side the county, or a public school out
side the county.
Any local scholarship or aid will be
granted to all children, regardless of
race, under uniform regulations to be
passed by the governing board.
Not only would scholarships be a.
warded on a n-discriminatory basis
because that is the manner in which the
citizens would wish, but also, such must
be the case in order to fulfill constitu-
tional requirements, both State and
Federal.

Furthermore, at junction points
it could be shifted to another
railroad. OF course, Russia will
also adopt mobile bases, but she
has no such railway systems as
we have. This would make the
work of both the United States
and Russian spies more diff
cult and dangerous.
Reasons For Leaving
Khrushchev probably h a d
news from Moscow which caus-
ed him to destroy the meeting
before it opened. It may have
been some action of the Presi-
dunn directly after he left Mos
COW, or he may have felt that
some other man was looking for
his job and he had to be home
to protect it. He may have heard
that the younger element in
Moscow is getting aroused, as in
other countries, demanding re-
duced armament expenditures
so that they may have more con-
sumner goods. He may have been
informed before the meeting
that he would not get salts
factory action on Berlin.
Finally, Khrushchev mus t
have been anxious to get home
to speed work on his submarine
fleet, as submarines will eventu-
ally take the place of all land
bases, fixed or mobile. The Chi
nese Government, too, may have
passed along threats to him
which he could not ignore. At
any rate. knowing he was block
ed on all the most crucial sub
JectS, he saw that it would be
impossible to get any agree
ment on reduction of arma-
ments.

missilry. Rockets are necessary

there are various types of mis-

Khrushchev Knew
What may have made KhruSh-
chev so ugly and insistent on an
apology from Eisenhower is that
he was just learning of these
mobile bases. For instance, now
most rocket bases are fixed.
Eisenhower, however, was prob
ably informed that the mobile
rocket bases are a practical sue
cess. If this is true, the United
States may have no further need
of spies to discover rocket bases
in Russia. Furthermore, the
United States may be able to
give up rocket bases in coun-
tries now surrounding Russia.
The land-based mobile rocket
will work as follows: Instead of
being on a fixed foundation, it
will be on a heavy weighted
car operating on heavy rails.
This mobile base could be NOV
ed each night so that it would

cation. Some nights it might be

Memorial Day Monday

WHEN the commander-in of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, Cen
eral John A. Logan, issued the order
designating May 30th, 1868, as day
for decorating the graves Of the men
who fell in the War Between the States,
he expressed the hope that it would be
observed from year to year while a
survivor of the war remains to honor
the memory of the departed"
The custom Of thus paying homage
to the war dead, which had originated
in the South and represented at that
time only spontaneous local activity on
the part of a relatively few women and
children, thus came into being
The appeal of such an annual COM

Bobson Discusses
Why The Summit Conference Broke Up

BABSON PARK, MASS, May
26 = 1t does not seem reason
able that the Summit Confer
of the four largest world gov
ernments broke up suddenly in
a turmoil without a cause.
The Spy Incident
Khrushchev must have known
for long time that were were
flying spy planes over Russia
and that it was a routine thing
with our Intelligence Service.
Surely it could not have been
the real reason for the Summit
Conference breakup. Something
else must have happened to
cause Khrushchev to give Presi-
dent Eisenhower an ultimatum
and demand the abject apology
which Khrushchev, of course,
knew he would not get.
It also was a general surprise
when President Eisenhower in
dicated that the U2 spying would
be suspended, at least for the
time being, though many inter-
pref this as a final cancella-
ton. Many rumors are flying in
the various capital cities as to
the reasons for the collapse of
the Summit Conference and the
calling off of the spying.
A Real Probably Reason
When l was in Moscow a short
time ago. I heard the United
States bases discussed. The
United States, it was said, was
depending mainly upon these
missile bases which surround
the Russian empire. Further
more, it was understood that in
the event of the outbreak of
World War III, these missile
bases would be the first targets
of attack; that is. Russia would
first try to destroy these.
Also while in Russia, heard

NO COMMENT
BY JAMES W. DOuTHA1

WASHINGTON, May 25 hmm
This session Of congress is now
in its crucial stage - for these
reasons:
/. Only six weeks remain be-
fore Congress must quit for the
national conventions and the
New Dealers are seeking IN
every way possible to speed ac-
ton on their legislative pro
gram with the limited time re-
manning.
2. The New Dealers are des-
perately demanding action on
what they believe will be vote
getting issues for them in the
political campaign. They reason
this way:
Ii Congress passes their big
spending program - to bestoW
gifts from Washington 'at the
taxpayers EXPENSE upon the
voters = the New Dealers will
claim the political credit.
If President Eisenhower We
toes big spending legislation
passed by Congress tas he is
generally expected to do, the
New Dealers will claim credit
for congressional action anC
at the same time blame the Ad-
ministration for snatching the
gifts" away from the people
But members of the congress
sional economy bloc are convinc-
ed that the American people are
opposed to wasteful Government
spending - and are realizing
more and more that the so-called
gifts must be paid for by
them through taxation or infla-
ton, or both.
Therefore, the economy adVo-
Gates think that it is good 70
litical politics - as well as good
economies - to oppose uneSsen-
tial spending and to leave the
people as free as possible to dc
things for themselves instead OF
running to washington for fl
nancial assistance and having &c
accept inevitable federal con
trolls.
z. This is a crucial period for
another reason. The failure OF
tire summit conference is being
used by the big spenders as
propaganda for stepping up de
fense spending in order to com
bat whatever Premier Khrush-
chev's design may be.
But members of the economy
block point out that the nation s
military plans already had given
full consideration to all possible
military action by Russia = and
therefore no need for huge adj
ditonal spending had beer
demonstrated.

his colleagues recently, a for

Christian Camping

IsHE bone of contention among several
Christian denominations revolves
around summer camps for young peo-
pie. Ministers and parishioners divide
in their opinions more violently over
racial Indignation in summer camps
than on any other church matter. 1t
would seem to us that closing of all
summer camps would be preferable to
schisms among Christian clergy and lay
men which have potential descriptions
of the church itself
We find no place in the Bible in
which summer camps for the young
sters was advocated or even mentioned.
This movement is comparatively new,
having grown up in the urban centers
where youngsters, pent up on city
streets, never see the green woods, the
chiggers, the running streams and God
given nature
The boy scout movement and the girl
scout movement were the first to at
tempt to relieve this situation Certain
ly these two OrganiZa tons have PLAYED
prominent part in teaching patri-
otism, reverence and good wholesome
living. The scout pledge, which means so
much to the scout has all of the needs
for growing youngster.
