Mrs. StrickIer Is Newcomer Who Loves Alaska
By Miriam J. AngelI

Mrs. Marion Strickler, wife of Captain Lyle E. Strickler who be- came Chief of Staff to the 17th Naval District last December, is as enthusiastic about Alaska as any cheechako you will ever meet. She declares that if it were pos sible i've would like to build a home and stay here permanently. All our family loves Alaska" This wish is not likely to sway the sympathy of the Navy, however, as the list of their past duty sta tions shows, very clearly.
 Captain and Mrs. Strickler were married in California in 1886 and two years later were transferred to the Navy sub school in New London, Connecticut. From there they went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to San Diego and on to Honolulu for two years. In the tense days of November 1941, Captain Strickler sailed for Cor regidor aboard the submarine Swordfish and his family sailed for the states where they arrived just ten days before Pearl Harbor. SwordfiSh later evacuated Manuel Quezon, his family and other Phil ippine leaders at the fall of Cor regidor.
 Along with many other service wives Mrs. Strickler waited out the war years until their peacetime assignment in Panama in 1945. There, a second child was born. Seattle; San Diego; Portmouth, Virginia; Washington, D. Call were home ports during the next few years. In Newport, Rhode Island, while the captain attended War College, Mrs. Strickler went back to her avid love, the theatre, for the first time since her mar riage.
 Mrs. Strickler was originally a singer. She began in her home town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, when she was four years old, progressing through operetta play work and light opera. AS a senior in high school she met Lyle Strickler at tryouts for a play. He went on to Annapolis: she directed little theatre groups and sang roles in summer opera.

Misleading the Presidents Words

But what is the alternative?
To tell the American people
that they are in grave danger
of attack-which Mr.. Eisen-
hover doesn't believe-and to
put into effect stringent con-
trolls on wages and prices and
over our entire economy, with
higher and higher taxes and
restrictive measures such as
are usually imposed only in
wartime?
Anyone who knows Amer
lean political tides, moreover,
can say now that the Demo-
Gratis would welcome heartily
a chance to abandon their
current cries about the mis-
sile gap" in order to make
political capital out Of the
argument that the Repub-
licans want to lead us into
a war just when Nikita
Khrushchev, with his sum-
init conference concept, is
trying to prevent war.
Mr.. Eisenhower cannot pos
sibly repeat at each press
conference every argument on
a particular subject he has
made in the past. Take, for
instance. his crusade for a
nuclear-test ban. He has
given plenty of reasons at
past press conferences for his
continued interest in negoti-
ating an agreement with the
Russians. But when he now
adds the financial reason
a possible saving on arma-
ment expense, which is sup
posed to be influential in the
minds Of people not only in
this country but abroad-he
is promptly accused of think
ing only of money savings.
The record Of Dwight Eli
Senhower in working for
peace has been replete with
so many references to hui
manitarian reasons for seek
ing a disarmament agreement
that it is surprising to read
now that all the President
can think about is money
savings and a balanced
budget. But even such a
reason is not so materialistic
as it sounds. Anyone who saw
the terrible privation of the
people of Germany arising
out Of fiscal mismanagement
which led to the Hitler
dictatorship in the 1930s-can
hardly say that an effort to
avoid national bankruptcy is
just an alteration Of the
materialistic mind.

Site of Early Union Victory in Arkansas
Called Worthy to Be National Park

Arkansas is asking the
Union, in the centennial
year of the Civil War, to &C
cept the Pea Ridge battle
field as a national park.
Gov. Faubus has not insisted
on segregation and the offer
likely will be accepted. 1t
should be.
This might serve to give
to the largely abandoned
Ozark farm area the dignity
its name has denied. It was
q small battle with large
results. When the Con-
federates and their allies, a
brigade of Cherokee Indians,
were there decimated on
March 8, 1862, the fate of
the Confederacy was almost
certainly doomed. Save for
raids and a few futile ma
neuvers, the Confederacy
soon thereafter ceased to
exist west of the Mississippi
River.
AS long as they lived, the
soldiers of Gen. Sam Curtis
Federal command remem-
bered the Cherokee Indians
and how they shot them out
of trees like big squirrels.
The Cherokees had never
seen a cannon, much less
heard one fired. They were
armed with rifles and scalp
ing knives, and Gen. Albert
Pike, who had fetched them
there, had great hopes for
them.
But it was a bad day for
the noble red man, and for
Johnny Reb as well. Not
long after the war began in
1861, Gen. Curtis was maneu-
vering troops in Missouri and
making gestures which indi-
Gated invasion of Arkansas.
Early in 1862 he made his

There has been a great deal
Of discussion among business
and industry circles during
the past few months on what
possible impact a disarma-
ment agreement, either partial
or total, would have on the
American economy. At first
glance, an abrupt drop in
spending for ornaments ought
to close factories, halt divi-
dends, and throw a huge
labor force into unemploy-
ment. But some economists
insist this is not necessarily
so.
These optimiSts contend
that, over the long haul, dis
armament and a major re-
duction in OUTLAWS for mill
tary supplies, weapons and
equipment actually would add
to the gross national product,
to per capita income, and to
prosperity overall. They rea-
son on the basis of the
Nations experience after
World War II, when the long
pent-up needs and demands
of the civilian economy
brought a boom, not a de-
preston. to the country.
In this view, any substan-
tial reduction in military
spending would make a tax
cut almost mandatory, since
directly or indirectly the
largest part of the tax dollar
today goes to the military.
Putting more money back in
the pockets of the American
people means simply that
there would be a greatly ex-
panded demand for more
cars. refrigerators, housing,
clothing and all the other
consumer goods, particularly
Of the durable variety, that a
growing population wants and
needs.
OF course, none Of the
optimistic economists dis
misses the fact that disarma-
