political career.

concessions in either sector, he

ignores the legitimate COM

seeing a localized conflict

The farmers are angered by
low prices they receive as COM

to 10 times higher. Middlemen

The farm trouble is spreading
from Brittany in the west, to
Normandy and other sections of
the north. 1t threatens soon to
reach central France and the
wine-growing regions Of the
south.
Leaders of the peasant unions
have called on their followers
to block the roads in 19 de-

carts June 81.
For the past two weeks sew

turn presented an almost revo-

farmers have moved in, riding
long columns of tractors. They
have set the tricolor waving

rocks at the local governor.

Alabama Riots
Shocking to
Ghono Official

An African city official said
yesterday that the news of the
beating of Freedom Riders in
Alabama was very shocking"
to the people in his country of
Ghana.
Samuel Bainson, chairman
of the Municipal Council of
Cape Coast, said that "it dis
turbs quite a number of us
when we hear of the action of
segregationists."
Mr.. BainSon, who was at
tending the World Conference
of Local Governments here,
said that he himself had ex-
perienced no discrimination
since he had arrived in the
United States.
Mr.. BainSon, who spoke on
the program City Side on
WTOP-TV, said that the activ-
tiles Of the segregationists
seemed inconsistent with the
American belief that "all men
are created equal"
Masaya Mori, Mayor of Shi-
mada, Japan, who also ap-
peared on the program, said
that he cannot understand why
there is prejudice against Ne
groeS.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin. the third guest on
the program, said that I'VE feel
that We are all created equal
in one human family and the
sooner we are able to educate
all our people to that fact, the
sooner the world will march on
to peace and happiness"
Mr. Mclaughlin, who is
chairman of the Western Hem
isphere Organizing Committee
for the World Conference of
Local Governments. predicted
that the conference will help
contribute to a better under
standing among the races.

hover administrations Budget
Bureau rejected a park service
proposal that it be paid for
from a special spending item in
the fiscal year beginning July /.
Wirth's Position
The position by Conrad L.
Wirth, park service director,
was that the cost was too high
to be covered by his agency's
annual $18 million ALLEGATION
for this type of project.
The Budget Bureau, however,
repeatedly suggested that the
construction be put on the in
terstate highway system. This
plan was aimed at holding the.
line on the outgoing admins
tration'S total budget figure
sent to Congress last January.
Under this proposal, the con-
Struction would have been paid
for with 80 per cent Federal
funds and 10 per cent District
money. An alternate method,
which the city was reluctant to
indorse, was to finance it with
$3.50 funds. half local and half
Federal, from the source for
arterial highway construction.
Last February. however, the
Bureau of Public Roads re-
jected a request. which the Dis
trict highway department had
submitted at the direction of
the Budget Bureau, to authorize
interstate highway financing.
A later plea by Mr.. Aitken
that some type of Federal
highway financing be worked
out resulted in the Federal
road agency's funding agree
ment, Mr.. Aitken reported yes
terday.
Drawings Set Up
After the final financing de-
.cisions are made, the first step
will be to provide $4,000 TO
the park service for the en-
gineering drawings. Mr.. Wirth
said that a contract already has
been signed for the drawings.
The $13 million for construc-
ton Of the tunnel and connec-
tions will be needed in about
eight months. Mr.. Wirth said.
The position of both District
and park service officials has
been that the tunnel project
must be constructed. 1t is a vi

An incredible number of
citizens now are writing
for Government pamphlets
which in the past have gone
begging.
Thirty million copies have
been printed of the basic

pamphlet on building a fam
lily fallout shelter-three
fourths of them to meet the
public demand which has
arisen since President Ken
nedy's televised speech to the
public July rs on the Berlin
crisis.
That date, incidentally, is
regarded by civil defense Of
ficials as 'D-Day," so far
as the burgeoning public in
tereSt in civil defense and
fallout is concerned. AL
though the Presidents re-
marks on civil defense were
somewhat general, they
seemed to galvanize the citi-
zenry to action-action for
which the Government was
not prepared to give leader

are on welfare so can't have
a phone. Which means we
need protection quick if we
are to keep on living"
Many correspondents pro-
test the whole concept of
building shelters, arguing
that the money and energy
could better be spent on
working for peace.
Some of the letter writers
are quite belligerent.
A man in Batavia, Ill.
sent in a newspaper clipping
which he said was full of
misinformation on the haz-
ards of fallout. He then gave
what he believed to be the

HELPING BABY SEE By Dr. Alden N. Haffner D.ector, Vision Conservation

 We don't know, exactly, how much baby can see at birth, prob ably nothing more than light and dark and vague shapes. We do know, however, that much of the eye mechanism needed for fine vision, is not developed completely in the new born baby.
 At one month of age, baby is able to control the muscles of his eyes enough to follow an object for a snort distance. During the second month, baby is able to keep the object in sight and to follow it for a longer distance. He's able to fo- GUS his eyes better and to see more clearly.
 There is much that mother can do to help her baby's eyes develop properly. Here are few pointers mother may keep in mind as she ob- serves and cares for her new baby.
 Place baby in his crib so that neither eye is favored as he looks about the room.
 Encourage baby to use both eyes and both sides of his body in his play activities by placing toys so that neither eye is favored.
 When baby has fever, keep him from concentrating on close-vision tasks, such as looking at picture book or playing with blocks or any toys which require concentration.
 Give baby as much freedom as possible for activities and exper- fences that are needed to make see ing meaningful. q Today, there is a strong trend toward preventive care in the field of vision. It is possible to foresee future health problems through regular eye examinations. In fact, it is best to plan the first profes-
