Eisenhower has paid his visit to Russia.
But the renewal of this threat in the
communique, even though it was sub
ordinated to the sweetness-and-light
sections, deserves to be taken seriously.
Barring settlement of the German
question, which does not seem to be in
the cards at this time, we should expect
before long to be dealing with the East
Germans along the supply routes. Are
we prepared to accept this, and to ex-
tend the de facto recognition that would
go with 1t? If we haven't worked out
the answer yet, we'd better get busy.

Toxic Additiyes

Recently introduced in
Congress was a bill and a
joint resolution which should
have the support of every
American. The bill is H. R.
9150. 1t proposes a law for
establishing a commission to
conduct an impartial and SCI
entiflc study and investiga-
ton to determine the effects
on the public health of the
practice of adding various
chemicals to water supplies
and food products. The joint
resolution, H. ]. Res. 523, is
to prohibit officers and en-
ployes of the United States
from treating communal wa
ter supplies with fluoride
compounds until a report
from the Commission on
Food and Water Contamina-
ton shall have been sub
mitted to Congress. These
important pieces of legisla-

that contemporaneously with
such increase there occurs a
phenomenal increase in the
total amount of chemical

there may well exist a casual
connection between these two

I am quite aware of the

I do say, however, is that the

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

When Temp Jones put on
his longies for the winter,
he got his first cold.
When he donned a muf1er
around his neck. he came
down with a pain in the
right side of the neck and
shoulder.
Next winter he is thinking
of wearing the lightest, film
siest clothing he can find,
and seeing how that works
out.
1t almost seems at times
that modern man tries to
protect himself too much.
This is what Europeans
call being soft. or something.
Actually, comfort is where
you find it.
To be bundled up in the
cold seems to be a natural
thing. Older people, espe-
cially, are told to keep them
selves from getting cold.
The point seems to be,
perhaps we are overriding it.
This is because so many
lives are spent mostly in
doors.
The great indoors revolu-
ton, it might almost be
called.
The civilized world has
gone a long way from the
era Of the great outdoors.
Now people huddle indoors
in public transportation, Of
fees, eating places, stores
and theaterS.
The utilization of the auto
mobile on a surplus scale has
added to the indoors life.

MELANCHOLY Memoirs

I wish to commend your
editorial, Melancholy Mem
oirs." for calling attention
to how foolhardy the esca-
pade Of the British was in
their attack on Egypt in 1856.
1t is obvious that Anthony
Eden is trying to justify his
governments action. That
England had reason for seri-
GUS apprehension one can
scarcely deny, but even If
her fears were well grounded
(although subsequent events
showed they were not), such
overt action was in no way
justiflable.
Great Britain aspires to
law. order and integrity of
purpose. That it should sud-
denly cast all principles to
the wind. treat its solemn
pledges to the United Ma
tions as a scrap of paper and
break confidence with its
long-tried friend and ally,
the United States, was a
flagrant act which should
bring shame and regret to
all Englishmen. All this
might be overlooked as mere
shortsightedness and stu
pidity until one considers the
dangers it incurred for the
entire world.
Perhaps one can forget the
hundreds of innocent lives
lost in the bombing and abor-
tive landing of British troops,
but If the British advance
had not been abruptly turned
back, the results could well
have been catastrophe. The
u. N. would have been dis
qualified as a future world
power and there is good rea-
son to believe that a third
world war would have been
precipitated at that time. Let
us pray that Britain and all
other nations will learn to
recognize the truth Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's words,
There can be no peace with
out law and peace will
be in jeopardy until respect
for lawful means of resolving
disputes is restored"
C. C. Hill.

Your comments on An
thony Eden's Melancholy
Memoirs" seem to reach the
right conclusions but are
surely based on the wrong
premises. You say that oil
tankers are still moving
freely through the Suez
Canal; the threat to Britain's
oil supplies has not material
lied; Egypt has not become a
Communist puppet; Nasser
has not gobbled up other
Arab countries, and the Mid
die East is relatively stable.
This is all true, but Ger
tainly not because Nasser
wanted it or planned it that
way.
If he thought he could get
away with stepping up his
blackmail on passage through
the Suez Canal or in annex
ing other countries, his past
record shows that he would
have done so. Instead Of
holding UP Britain's oil he
has stepped up his anti
Western program throughout
Africa. He has not moved
against Jordan or other Arab

he can take off a few wraps,

The Presidential Primary Picture
By GOULD LINCOLN

New England States solidly

him an excellent spring.
board. If he should do well
in Wisconsin in the second
presidential primary on April
5 and follow this up with
victories over Senator Hum
phrey in West Virginia and
Oregon. his bandwagon would
start to roll in earnest. For
he already has Ohio's dele
cation in his pocket - the
largest delegation of any COM
mltted to him-because of
Gov. Mike DiSalle's promise
to deliver it to him. Gov.
Disable is a favorite-son can
didate in his State and un-
opposed.
None Of these Democratic
candidates has entered the
presidential primaries in the
big States of New York
'Where district delegates are
elected to the national con-
ventlon in primary elections
pennsylvania, Illinois and
New Jersey. But they and
their representatives have
oeen working hard already to
line up support for their
candidates.. Senator Ken
nedy is supposed to have
considerable strength in H.
!lnois and Michigan, and if
ne wins the Wisconsin pri-
mary in a big way it is likely
TO help with the Democratic
leaders of those States.
Others Active
senators Kennedy and
Humphrey are doing it the
hard Way-going into the
presidential primaries which
caH for many hours and
Gays OF campaigning. And
both have been at it for
months already. But Sena-
tor Lyndon B. johnson of
IeXas and Senator Stuart
Symlngton of Missouri have
oeen working in States from
coast to coast-those which
hold primaries and those
which do not. Unless the
Kennedy drive should become
tremendously impressive, SEN
ators johnson and Syming-
ton should enter the national
convention with big blocs of
delegates committed to them.
They may have a second-bal-
lot pledge even from delegates
IN the primary States carried
by Senators Kennedy and
Humphrey.
1t must be admitted that
for so early a frontrunner for
a presidential nomination.
Senator Kennedy has held
up extremely we'll. He has
had wide publicity and most
OF it very favorable. There
are rumblings, however, that
strength which he had ex-
pected to have in Southern
States is weakening and that
Senator johnson is the prin-
clpal beneficiary of the
change. Indeed, Senator
johnson, without entering
any primary, may have as
many as or more delegates
than Senator Kennedy.
But any way you look at
this Democratic problem, it's
difficult to see how the party
can, without serious internal
consequences, deny Senator
Kennedy a nomination if he
shows we'll in the primaries
held in eight or nine States.
Particularly should he enter
and win the primary race in
California. There still fingers
IN many quarters a belief
that eventually the party will
go back to Adlai Stevenson,
its candidate for President
in 1852 and 1856. If it does,
it will be over strong op-
position and a belief that Mr..
Stevenson has had it.

The presidential preference
primary picture is pretty well
set. Since Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York with
drew from the race for the
Republican nomination for
President. abandoning all
purpose Of running in the
presidential primaries, the
interest in these primaries
turns to the Democratic
Party. But even there, with
the exception of a few favor
ite-son candidates., the stage
is left to only two serious
candidates-Senator John F
Kennedy of Massachusetts
and Senator Hubert Hum
phrey Of Minnesota. Consid-
ering the large field Of Dem
ocratic possibilities for the
party's presidential nomina-
ton, this is somewhat disap-
pointing. Apparently, how
ever. some of the leading po-
tenttal nominees take the
view Of former President
Harry S. Truman that the
presidential primaries do not
mean a thing. Either that. or
they are not sure enough of
themselves to enter the pri-
maries and face a popular
vote.
AS of today, Senator Ken
nedy has entered the pri-
maries in eight States-and
he still is considering the
possibility of going into the
California primary where
Gov. Pat Brown, Democrat
wishes to become the States
1aVorite-son candidate. If
Senator Kennedy should de-
eide to move into the Cali
fornia contest. the interest
in the primaries would
mount considerably. The last
date for filing in the Cali
fornia primary is March 9.
If he should enter there, he
would be. followed by Senator
Humphrey into that test.
The eight States the Massa-
chuSetts Senator is enter
ing are New Hampshire.
Wisconsin, Oregon, West
Virginia, Indiana, Massachu-
sets. Maryland and Ne
braSka.
First Contest March 8
Senator Humphrey has
either entered or has an
nounced he will enter five
presidential primaries - in
Oregon, West Virginia, Wis
consin, South Dakota and
the District of Columbia. He
still is considering the posi-
bility of entering the pri-
maries in Indiana and Ne
braska - and. like Senator
Kennedy. California. Unless
the Minnesotan decides to
go into Indiana. Nebraska
and California, his head-on
contests with Senator Ken
nedy will be limited to the
primaries in Oregon, Wis
consin and West Virginia.
Senator Wayne Morse of
Oregon is entering the Ore
gon and District of Columbia
primaries and has under con-
sideration the primaries in
Wisconsin and Maryland.
With a big field in the Ore
gon primary. as now seems
probable, Senator Morse
should be able to run first
there. In the District of Co.
lumbia, he will fight it out
with Senator Humphrey.
The first of these presi-
dental primaries takes place
March 8. just four weeks from
Tuesday, February 9. The
primary is sewed up for SEN
ator Kennedy, who is ex-
pected to win in a walk. In
deed, the Massachusetts, SEN

ORDER OF PUBLICATION

The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a decree for a divorce A
VINCULO MATRIMONII of the
complainant from the respondent,
and permission of the complain
ant to resume her maiden name of
Mildred Mae Miller.
The Bill states:
That the complainant was mar
ried to the respondent August a,
1928, at Fayette City, Pennsylvania;
that there was one child born of
this marriage, to-Wit Sherman Lee
Van Ripper; that, although the
conduct of the complainant was al
ways that of kind, affectionatc
and faithful wife, the said respond
ent, without just cause or reason,
abandoned and deserted the COM
plainant during the month of April,
1881, and that she has neither seen
nor heard from him since that date,
and that the separation between
them is deliberate and final, and
beyond any hope or expectation of
reconciliation; that the COM
plainant is a resident of Garrett
County, Maryland, where she has
resided for the past six years, but
that the said respondent is a non
resident of the State of Maryland,
and was last known by the COM
plainant to reside at 5th Street,
Charleroi, Pennsylvania.
The Bill then prays for divorce
A VINCULO MATRIMONII of
the complainant from the respond
ent; for the right of the COM
plainant to resume her maiden
name of Mildred Mae Miller; for
general relief and for an order of
publication.
1t is, thereupon, this 18th day of
August, 1860, by the Circuit Court
for Garrett County, Maryland, in
Equity, ordered that the complain
ant, by having a copy of this order
inserted in some newspaper pub
lished in Garrett County Mary
land, once in each of four success
sive weeks before the 9th day of
September, 1860, give notice to the
said absent respondent of the OBJ
ject and substance of said bill of
complaint, and warning him to be

person or by solicitor, on or be-
fore the oath day of September,
