dim,
Good friend, I am building the
bridge for him."
Will Allen Dromgoole, from,
More Worth While Poems, thanks
to Mrs. Wreatha G. Maxwell.
Do you think Of others? What
nice thought if, when you stay
up late at night listening to your
favorite television show, you turn
the sound down so other members
Of the family who have retired can
not be disturbed.
When you have to go downtown
do you ask those near If there is
anything you can get for them ?
How thoughtful Of you to offer to
buy fresh fruits and vegetables for
your neighbor who has no car and
is so badly crippled with arthritis
she is unable to do any shopping.
As you drove along the other
morning when the wind was blow
ing and 1t was so cold, didn't you
feel ashamed Of yourself that you
did not stop and take those two
elderly friends to your church with
you? You were in the church a
long time before they arrived.
They had to wait for the bus and
they had to walk so slow to get
to the church from the bus that
they were quite chilled by the time
they were in the building. They
smiled at you as they passed your
pew, and you did feel a little as
hamed Of yourself. You just didn't
think of others.
One morning your neighbor
called to ask if you were leaving
for work about a certain time.
(He knew you left at that time
each morning.) You said, II don't
know what time I will be leaving"
This was a very warm day in
August and SO you drove out at
the usual time. Your next door
neighbor walked to the bus line
and waited a half hour in the hot
sun Cor a bus, and when he got to
work, he saw your car parked in
front Of the building. This was the
first time he had asked a favor of
you, but since then. you have called
him several times to help you get
up the icy hill into his garage!
How could you have the nerve!
You are thoughtless.
There are so many thoughtful
people in the world it is impossible
to name them. I can recall a mar
ried couple who have no children
Of their own but they are always
doing nice things for boys and girls
they feel are worthy Of their help.
One young girl Is In college be-
cause Of this couples generous
help. They helped her with money.
clothes and the spirit to keep go
ing, even though she cannot enter
into any social activities because
her parents home Is really shabby
and they cannot afford to spend
the money. She Is not ashamed to
bring her close friends home, and
she says her ambition Is to get
through school, earn money and
buy her parents a house. Her
father works, but with a sickly
wife, he spends a great deal Of
money for her care.
This teen ager Is In the first
group in her studies and she Is
very popular at the college. She
has explained to her teachers the
reason she does not enter into the
social life Of the college, and her
frankness has won her their admir-
alton. She holds her head high,
studies hard and has said she will
graduate with honors. She, too,
deserves a great deal Of credit be-
cause most girls would have left
school because Of false pride.

An old man going a lone highway

To a chasm vast and deep and

The sullen stream had no fears for
him;
But he turned when safe on the
other side
And built bridge to span the side.

When the manager saw the
CORE members he exclaimed, "Oh,
Lord! What Is this ?" He explained
the theatres seating policy to the

Diplomats
Used to Put
Heuton Haiti
BY the Associated Press

The top United States diplo.
mats in Haiti have been tenn
proarily recalled to Washington
in a deliberate move to prod
the ruling Haitian regime to-
ward more democratic methods.
United States officials said
Ambassador Raymond l.
Thurston and his deputy, Philip
P. Williams, have arrived in
Washington "for consultation
and are due to return to Port
au Prince in a week.
The Washinton "consulta-
ton" period for the United
States ENJOYS was diplomatic
ally timed to absent them from
Haitian strongman President
Haiti today, the day which
Francois Duvalier has ordered

day of national sovereignty"
Mr.. Duvalier has already de-
clared himself reelected for a
six-year term. Washington
thinks he should follow con-
stitutional procedures.
Under the Haitian constitu-
ton, Mr.. Duvalier's term, which
began in 1857, is slated to end
next year. and elections are
supposed to be held to deter
mine a successor.
The Haitian chief has been
trying to spread the impression
that the Kennedy administra-
tion indorses his tactics. The
temporary withdrawal of the
United States diplomats, in
formed sources here said, is a
of showing that the
United States does not indorse
such Duvalier procedures.

Rump Session Held
BY Argentine Officials

BUENOS AIRES, May %
(AP) .-Congressmen from Ar
gentina's three main political
parties called a rump session
today in defiance of President
Jose Maria Guido's decree re-
cessing the legislature for at
least a year.
Members of Mr.. Guido's own
Intransigent Radical Party, the
Peoples Radical Union and
deputies elected March 18 from
the Peronist Popular Union
said they would hold a session
originally scheduled today to
decide whether the AZ Peronists
should be seated.
Police stood guard at the en-
trance to the congressional
building admitting only con-
greSSmen who hold seats from
previous elections. The depu-
ties said if they were kept out
of the Chamber of Deputies,
they will meet elsewhere.
Olegario Becerra, Intransi-
gent Radical speaker of the
House Of Deputies, and other
political leaders have branded
his suspension of Congress il
legal, dictatorial and uncon-
Stitutional. President Guido Is
backed by the military chiefs
who put him in after ousting
President Arturo Frondizi three
months ago because he had let
the followers of ex-dictator
Juan D. Peron participate
and win-in the March election
as a legal party.
Besides receSSing congress
until after a new election next
March, Mr.. Guido ordered a
reorganization of all Argen-
tina's political parties under
interventorS appointed by the
electoral courts. He also an
nounced action would be taken
to prevent labor unions from
meddling in politics. The aim
of both actions was to bar

activity once more.

Dutch Request
u. n. 10 Act

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
May % (AP).-Dutch Premier
Jan de Quay has appealed
urgently to Acting Secretary
General U Thant to halt all
aggressive action in West New
Guinea, the target of an Indo-
nesian invasion.
The appeal was contained in
a letter, dated May 16, which
was circulated here today as a
U. N. Security Council docu-
ment.
Premier de Quay did not ask
for a council meeting, but re-
iterated a request that Mr..
Thant send observers to the
region to take note of the fac
tual situation "and contribute
their presence to the preven-
ton, if possible, of further
aggression"
The letter charged that the
Indonesian invasion is part "of
an act of aggression, clearly
prepared and intended as such"
by the IndoneSian government
The Netherlands government
considers the situation such
that it deems it necessary tc
weigh further what action il
may take within the framework
Of the United Nations" it said.
The letter made reference to
the mediation efforts of Ellis
worth Bunker, a United States
diplomat.
Mr.. De Quay said his gov
ernment's peaceful and con-
structive approach" to the
question was demonstrated
clearly by its willingness to dis
cusS with Indonesia all aspects
Of proposals made by Mr..
Bunker, together with all
items related to this problem
deemed relevant by either
party"
Mr.. Bunker was reported to
have proposed that the United
Nations administer West New
Guinea for two years while
Dutch officials leave and Indo-
nesian officials take over. The
IndonesianS were described as
receptive and the Dutch as
hesitant.

been translated into expanded
production of needed goods and
services, but rather into rising
unemployment and part-time
work, idle plants and machines,
and a growing number of dis
treSsed communities"
Organized labor fully accepts
and encourages chronological
progress, he said, but industry,
which makes the decision to
automate, does have a responsi-
bility to the people affected"
One of the Nations troubles,
Mr.. Sigh said, is the progress
has not been dynamic enough.
He warned that the United
States will lose the benefits of
chronological progress if profits
are squeezed by "the wrong
kind of tax climate, the wrong
kind of labor climate. the wrong
kind of Government business
relationships"
Changes Held Needed
Prof. John Dunlop of Har-
ward University, joining in the
discussion Of automation, said
hours of work should be re-
duced selectively in industries
with high unemployment, but
not reduced across the board
by legislation.
He said great institutional
changes must be made in labor,
management and government
to facilitate cooperation and
the exchange of ideas. One
needed change, Mr.. Dunlop
said, is development of greater
centralized authority in unions,
rather than increased rank

AT yesterdays conference
sessions, the Kennedy admins
tration was challenged on its
policies for intervening in wage
negotiations and price deci-
Sions.
President Kennedy opened
the conference by urging labor
and management to propose
specific solutions to economic
problems instead of just COM
planning about administration
policies.
Walter w. Heller, chairman
of the Presidents Council of
Economic Advisers, defended
and tried to explain the admin
istration's "guideposts" for
non-inflationary wage and
price policies. He emphasized
the need for "flexibility" in
both wages and prices.
Mr.. Heller said high unem-
ployment and slow economic
growth are bigger problems now
than the threat of initiation,
but warned that resumption Of
the upward price creep" would
hamper the drive to accelerate
growth and expand job oppor-
tunities.
Replying to a question, Mr..
Heller in effect confirmed re-
ports that the administration
