Eisenhower Reports on Europe AFL BREAKS TIES—Farmers and farm workers across the nation were pondering the sudden action of/the American Federation of Labor obviously aimed at breaking off its heretofore friendly relations with the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange. Meeting at Montreal, Canada, the AFL’s executive council issued a statement which charged that the labor organization could no longer “appease" these farm groups because they had swung “to the side of reaction" in national affairs. “In fact, on economic issues of vital concern to the national welfare," the statement said, “it has become difficult to discern any major differ ence between the policy of the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange on the one hand, and that of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce on the other.” The AFL then pointed out that “labor cannot go on indefinitely supporting legislation beneficial to farmers while their organizations maintain a policy of seeking punitive anti-labor legislation." The AFL made it clear that it was disappointed in the action of the farm groups in teaming up with “big business" representatives to defeat the enactment of effective anti-inflation controls. This would seem to be the opening shot in a civil war between two big segments of the nation's economy. REPORT ON EUROPE— One of the clearest reports the home towns of the country have received on western Europe’s grow ing strength was made last week by a senate sub committee after a 14-day visit with Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. The committee reported Eisenhower as saying “it is almost ridiculous for us to be talking in terms of fright and hysteria" in the face of the free world’s overwhelm ing strength. The committee re ported: (1) Eisenhower’s headquarters is dissatisfied with the fact that western Europe has increased its armed forces only 20 per cent since the Korean war began. (They have promised a 75 per cent increase next year); (2) Spain and Yugo slavia should be brought into the “master plans” for defense of Europe; (3) Once European military build-up is complete, it will be possible “to begin the gradual withdrawal of U. S. forces"; (4) There is dissatisfaction among U.S. field representatives at the “multiheaded command" in Washington over political, economic, and military operations; (5) It will cost about $1,000,000,000 in France alone to erect the “overhead” for combat operations; (6) Without U.S. leadership Europe by now might have fallen before Communism; (7) Economic aid must be “primarily for the purpose of assisting friendly countries to strengthen their individual and collective defenses"; (8) It Is most important that east-west trade shall not be permitted to increase the war potential of the Soviet Union. RED BUILD-UP —While Allied and Communist representatives negotiate a cease-fire at Kaesong, with increasing prospects for success, the Reds have taken the opportunity to carry out a big military build-up in Korea. Observers are now wondering if the Communists are planning a new offensive if the Kaesong armistice talks collapse, or are they pouring in troops merely to strengthen the hand of their negotiators? Many are inclined to belive it means a new offensive. They point Out that unusually heavy truck traffic through North Korea toward the front, started at the first mention of armistice talks late in June and continued through mid-July. There is an entirely new vigor in the North Korean army, observers point out, and Communist artillery has become more plentiful and bolder. Red prisoners and deserters invariably talk about plans for a “new offensive". In the past they have usually been right. THE WHEAT CROP— In a new crop forecast, the department of agriculture predicts this year’s wheat crop will fall below a billion bushels for the first time since 1943. This was a decrease of 72 million bushels from its July 1 forecast. However, the department said, the indicated crop, plus reserves, would be more than ample to meet needs. Floods and dry weather last month was credited with cutting the crop to an estimated 998 million bushel harvest. Several million acres of wheat, corn, barley, flaxseed and potatoes were destroyed by mid-west floods. The year’s corn estimate was lowered to 3,206 million bushels,-89 million bushels below last month’s predictions. REDS TO ATTEND—Although the Soviet Union has announced she will send delegates to attend 50-nation Japanese peace treaty conference in San Francisco September 4, the Russian delegation is expected to refuse to sign the document. The Russians have bitterly condemned the proposed treaty draft as illegal and a device for tying an “aggressive" satellite Japan to the United States. By attending the conference the Russians will again have an oppor tunity to create world-wide propaganda. They can be expected to protest the treaty item by item. A CITY COMES BACK—Nearly 17 million tons of mud, muck and debris have been shoveled aside in Kansas City as the flood-ravaged valleys of Missouri continue to make one of the nation’s most re markable comebacks. Just three weeks after the flood waters had ebbed from the Kansas City stock- yards, a consignment of shorthorn cattle pounded through the wooden pens to mark the reopening of the nation’s second largest live stock market. Three major packing plants are slaughtering again and more than 120 business firms have returned to offices evacuated during the flood. Although many families are still in dire need of relief and assistance, nearly 30,000 employees have returned to jobs washed out by the mid-July flood. Throughout the flood-stricken area, it’s been back to business for grain elevators, flour mills, farm machinery concerns, transfer com panies, sheet metal works, motor parts firms, tractor and equipment companies, paint manufacturers, milling companies, a creamery and dairy supply company, soap manufacturers - and lumber companies. It has been a wonderful story of a city fighting its way back. PRICE LAW VIOLATIONS $10,000,000 Involved in Fifty Cases Che government is investigating major cases of alleged price- iling violations that could result the return of $10,000,000 to the vemment and consumers. Price Enforcement Director Ed- rd P. Morgan hinted that the ses involve some of the largest siness concerns in the country, i said one case “has possible in- national ramifications and in volves about $5,000,000 in illegal profits." In many cases the price agencies are forcing firms found guilty of violations to make restitution to customers. In others, where there is no clear method for repayment to customers, money from settle ments is paid to the United States treasury. LABOR OF LOVE Tennessee Man Builds Village A New Church DICKSON, Tennessee—This small village, not too many miles from Nashville, recently made newslines across the nation—in an unusual way. It all began ten years ago, during World War II, with a promise. Edward Brown Henslee, successful Chicago lawyer who was born in Dickson owns a farm, 20 miles away from the village. During those bleak war days in 1941, like so many other fathers, Henslee watched his eldest son depart for the battlefronts—as a navy ensign. Pearl Harbor had crippled our Pacific striking force. In the At lantic, U-boats were inflicting frightful losses. Everywhere our Navy was battered—on the surface, from the skies and from below the seas. Henslee knew well that Edward, Jr. might not return. Already American casualty lists were being published. It was then he made a vow. If his son returned safely, he would build a Catholic church in Dickson, a century-old parish And he would build it to St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers and all embarking on perilous Journeys. Son Returns St. Christopher performed his job well. After seeing much action, young Henslee returned home—safe, sound and a Lieutenant Command er. Now it was Henslee Sr.’s, move. People who had known Ed for years around the Dickson community knew that he was a man of his word. He moved. Materials and lack of manpower held up plans for a while. Friends, learning of the project stared In amazement and tried to convince Henslee of the folly of such an un dertaking: Building materials were sky high; few men could afford to build a church single-handedly; Dickson was getting along well without the church, with services being held in the home of Dr. Law rence Jackson. Wasn't that good enough? Henslee thought not. He had made a promise. The little red brick church with the white pillars that now domi nates the countryside is the symbol of a fulfilled promise. Although Henslee later had offers of dona tions from the very persons who had at first been skeptical about the propect, he would allow no mone tary contributions other than his own. Yet everyone caught the spirit and wanted to help. Almost every one did in some way. Community Helps Sir Christopher’s was built com pletely without blueprints. Its cleahUned interior grew out of a conversation and a rough sketch on the back of an envelope; its in terior was designed by the pastor. The altar was designed and carved by the skilled hands of the bishop of the diocese. Protestants, Jews and veterans’ groups contributed many of its fittings; a Lutheran church once housed its steeple bell; and its chert-y paneling and fine woodwork came from a proud old Southern plantation home. Some one aptly described the church as a “universal labor of love." Edward B. Henslee, Jr., the young man whose service in the armed forces during Word War II caused the whole thing, is a little bewil dered about the turn of events. Now 31 years old and a father him self, young Ned says, “perfect •trangers stopped me on the streets asking me how the church was going. Even in Chicago (where he, like his father, practices law) peo ple want to know if I am the man the church was built for. It’s amazing!" Yet the village of Dickson, sud denly swamped with national puli- licity, knew it was not so amazing. Rather, it was an example of simple faith . . . the faith of one man, and those who saw the goodness in the promise that man was determined to ‘ fulfill. The $100,000 edifice marks the completion of a promise and the spirit in which it was con structed marks it truly a “labor of Tove’’ for the entire community. Clinch County 'Fence' Question Is Unsettled HOMERVILLE, Ga.—The Clinch county referendum over whether to fence in livestock or people is still unsettled after holding a third meeting recently. Fifty property owners asked for a referendum to determine whether livestock should be fenced. Fifty others opposed the plan. Then an other 25 joined in favor of the refer endum and the same number joined the opposing group. Superior Court Judge E. R. Smith canceled the meeting. Since 1936, the small’ town has been fenced in, in accordance with an old law saying that people should fence themselves in if they wished to protect property from roving livestock. Such a referendum is known as a "fence” or “no fence" referendum. A vote for a “fence" means that people should continue to fence themselves, while “no fence" means they can dispose of fences and put them around the livestock. The same problem faces many small towns and rural areas throughout the country. Livestock allowed to roam at will is proving a menace to traffic in some areas KOREAN REDS IN BERLIN • . • A delegation of young Communists from Korea marches to the Uibricht stadium for the youth festival in East Berlin. More than 100,000 Communist youths from many parts of the world pledged allegiance to Soviet Premier Stalin and enmity to the United States at the opening of the rally. The secretary of the youth league declared, “The belief of the people of the Soviet in the victory of the Korean people over the U.S. aggressors is unshakable." ANTI-U.S. POSTER . . . This huge poster was given a place of promi nence in East Berlin for the Red youth rally held in that city. The poster bears a composite portrait supposed to be of President Truman and Adolph Hitler. Across the face of the poster is printed “Truman— Hitler’s Successor." This was only one of the many anti-U.S. posters. CANDIDATE SHOOTS SELF , Senator Ecuardo Chibas, leader of Cuba’s orthodox party and candi date for president,, is reported to to have shot and critically wounded himself after making a regular Sunday night political broadcast. 1 •-iiiMBi mm m fillppl ^ , .s HI §b K 1 W' HIpP * .*.• I ■ :• • • * k HINTS NEW BLOCKADE ...

Ridgway broke off the Korean peace conference because of the violation of the neutral zone in Kaesong by armed Red troops. The five mile demilitarised zone waa violated by about a company of armed Chinese troops who marched near the conference house. These troops are pictured here as they marched down a road, near the conference house in the armistice city, carrying machine guns and rifles. FLUSTERED ... Duncan Mac Donald, 18, prep school star, fid gets and clasps and unclasps his hands at press conference in Flint, Mich., as he refuses to answer questions bn charges on*“an easy appointment to West Point.** Tungsten at Stake O NE REASON for the deadlock over the cease-fire line in Ko rea is that precious tungsten de posits are at stake in the juggling for position. For, without Korean tungsten, this country won’t have enough tungsten to build jet en gines, armor-piercing shells and, even more important, to supply atomic energy needs. The pie-shaped slice of land, held by General Ridgway’s forces above the 38th parallel, contains rich, un tapped tungsten deposits. This is one reason Ridgway has been or dered to hold firm. Furthermore, the largest tungsten mine in the free world is located at Sangdon, less than 60 miles below the 38th parallel. This is another reason Ridgway wants to hang on to his stronger defense line above the 38th parallel, and keep the Communists as far from Sangdon as possible. The shortage of tungsten is so desperate that we have rushed mining equipment to Korea, in order to step up production at . file Sangdon mine and to re open small mines above the 38th parallel. It is no secret that this country is over two million pounds short of tungsten for civilian requirements alone. Normally the United States consumes about 14 million pounds a year, chiefly for metal-cutting tools. This doesn’t count the criti cally needed tungsten for jet en gines, armor-piercing shells and atomic energy. In fact, our anti tank warfare depends on these ar mor-piercing shells, which can’t be built without tungsten. Yet the Rus sians know that the most tungsten we can scrape up this year will be about 12 million pounds—unless the Korean mines can be rushed into full production. Declaration of Independence Two newspapers have now tried the experiment of asking Americans to sign a petition containing nothing but the Declaration of Independence and the original amendments of the U.S. constitution. First was the Capital Times of Madison, Wis., which had 111 out of 112 people refuse to sign. Second was the New Orleans Item which had 24 out of 36 refuse to sign. The New Orleans petition was cir culated after both President Tru man and this commentator had pub licized the shocking 111 to 1 re fusal in Wisconsin. Nevertheless its results showed how many of the American people either have for gotten the inspiring precepts of the founding fathers or else become afraid of the expression of liberal ideas. Here are some of the reactions re ceived. by reporter Allen Johnson when he circulated the New Orleans copy of the Declaration of Independ ence and the Bill of Rights: “Three men,” reported John son, “called me a Communist. One said, ‘My family’s with the government, it would get them in trouble. You know the FBI checks up on these things.*” • Another read Jefferson’s stirring words: “Wherever any form of gov ernment becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it*. . .” “That,” remarked the man ap proached by reporter Johnson, “sounds Russian to me.” A housewife didn’t like the amend ment to the constitution guarantee ing a free press and free speech. “That part ought to be narrowed down,” she said. “There’s too much talk going on.” She refused to sign. Maybe Senator Joe McCarthy, who has circulated thousands of copies of his speeches through the mails at the taxpayers’ expense, should circulate free copies of the Declaration of Independence in stead. It might counteract some of ^the fear he has instilled in peoples’ minds. Crime Probe Stymied Senator Carl Hayden of Arizona, one of the most conscientious and respected members of the senate has taken a straqge stand regard ing the crime committee. It puzzles his colleagues in the senate. As chairman of the powerful sen ate rules committee, Hayden has flatly refused to authorize more money to be spent on the crime probe. This has caused the crime committee, now chairmanned by conscientious Herbert O’Connor oi Maryland, to withdraw its investi gators from New York and other areas. It also means that the com mittee will have to wind up its work around September. Washington Pipeline Senate crime investigators have reported undercover links between the big-time gambler, William John ston, and the Jackson Construction Company, Jacksonville, Fla. John ston donated $100,000 to Gov. Fuller Warren’s campaign, and now the Jackson Construction Company has received $180,000 worth of state con tracts. ...
