commencing July 1 he said that most of the funds would be distributed In Asia where the “immediate threats to world security and stability are now centered” The Senate last week by voting 59 to 18 to pass the bill without reduction of the total assuredly must be considered to be in agreement about the perilous situation in Asia and the need for action there The attitude of the House remains to be seen but taking into account the grim course of events in Southeast Asia the House doubtless will also go along with the President Those who read the Alsops in this newspaper are familiar with the views those reporters hold about the need for strong and wise action to prevent further gains by the Red Chinese Among others who agree with Mr Eisenhower that the threats to world security in Asia must be met quickly and effectively is James Reston chief Washington correspondent for the New York Times Mr Reston in a recent speech said the United States has poured far more aid into Indochina in the last two years than it has spent since the war in aid to India “Asia” he said “is watching this contrast between India trying to develop a continent through free institutions and Communist China trying to develop another continent by compulsion e Thisjnay very well be the race that will determine the future of that continent indeed of all Asia rather than what we do in Quemoy and Matsu” Aid to Europe has paid off in the upbuilding of the economic and military strength of our European allies U S aid has conrtibuted to the winning of a major cold war victory in that region Congress by continuing to cooperate in the foreign aid program will provide President Eisenhower with the authorpeople of Asia fight off atity to help the freedom-lovintempts to drag them behind the Iron Curtain long-rang- g -- Purchasing a Croativo Function Hobart C Ramsey an industrialist told the National Association of Purchasing Agents last week that purchasing is not a routine clerical process but a creative function essential to good management He predicted that purchasing will continue to attract men and women of intelligence and good character and that top managers of business will come increasingly through the purchasing route Mr Ramsay’s warm words about the importance of the purchasing department come at a time when they may influence young graduates to investigate the opportunities to be found in the field They probably have thought little about the occupation because it has received little advertising in comparison to that given to the sister art salesmanship Books and articles on salesmanship are numerous Books and articles on purchasing are scarce or fairly so The government is a place where the arts and skills of purchasing are in heavy use because of the purchase for defense running into the scores of billions of dollars a year Mr Ramsey told the purchasing agents that Uncle Sam needs procurement policies apid practices of a high order Taking into account recent revelations pertaining to extravagant buying episodes' it is easy to agree with the speaker Yet in all fairness we must remember that the most magnificent and effective purchasing projects in world history were accomplished by government procurement officers who assembled the vast supplies which helped to speed the defeat of the foe in World War II An enlightened and alert purchasing department is described as one always searching for new and better products new sources of supply and better values for the dollar Purchasing plainly offers challenges that should appeal to those seeking interesting work Monument to Leif Ericsson Washington Sen Warren G Magnuson’s persuasive campaign to erect a statue in Washington D C to Leif Ericsson the Viking who set foot on the shores of what is now New England in the year 1002 A D deserves to succeed Erection of such a statue can in no way reduce the honor we extend to the memory and accomplishments of Christopher Columbus We shall merely be paying our respects to another courageous explorer Historians now are in general agreement that Ericsson actually set foot on New England soil twice in connection with his assignment from King Olav of Norway to Christianize the New World Leif’s travels included voyages first to Iceland and Greenland Then he ventured on to sail around Cape Cod and marvel at the beauty of what is now New j England Sen Magnuson proud of his Scandinavian descent has helped to translate the sagas describing the Ericsson explorations a literary adventure which has increased his enthusiasm for the placing of the statue The statue is available a bronze gift from Iceland He wants a federal appropriation of $53000 for preparation of the site a suitable pedestal and other incidentals He has millions of Americans of Scandinavian blood pulling for his proposal It shouldn’t be difficult to predict that success will attend his efforts May Be Able to Divert Future Hurricanes Weathermen Say WASHINGTON — With the recent Midwestern tornado damage and deaths as a tragic argument the Weather Bureau will now seek $3 million dollars for counterintelligence against tornadoes and Dear Gen Joseph M Swing: As commissioner of immigration and naturalization you are of course a very important person nowadays — no less in fact than the keeper of the keys- of the gates of the Unit- ed States with some help naturally from that fine vigilant act- hurricanes - the State Department None the less I dare to address Joseph AIsod you on behalf of a Chinese friend Mr Lung Shun-we- n because I think just possibly you did not really understand his case when you ordered him deported from this country The reason you gave for not letting Mr Lung stay in America was the position now held by his father old Gov Lung Yun as a vice chairman of the National Military Council of the Chinese Communist government Mr Lung’s father’s position sounds bad of course but somehow it still seems wrong to me to nut automatic labels on human beings and decide their fate by the punch card system So let me tell you a little bit about Gov Lung and the Lung clan I used to know them rather well when I was working for Gen Chen-nau- lt in the Air Force In those old Gov Lung was the last days astonishing survivor of the true race of Chinese warlords j He’s a Primitive The first thing you have to grasD about Gov Lung if you really want to understand him is that he was basically a primitive I must admit that he had every modern gadget his vast fortune could buy in his big palace in Kunming: and he had bought modern weaoons too for his private army of 70000 men Yet his gadgets didn’t make him anv less primitive at heart When I knew Gov Lung he was one of the last truly feudal rulers in the modern world He let Y T Miao a brilliant Western educated banker handle problems that reeded Western education But he ran the province with his cousin Gen Lu Han as hi deputv Naturally as warlord of Yunnan Gov Lung made a lot of money In his best days he must have owned a substantial percentage of the good farm land in the province And in 1945 when Genfieralissimo Chiang nally sent his troops in to break Gov Lung’s power one of the things they found was a sort of private Fort Knox — a whole cave out in the Western Hills heaped to the ceiling with stacks of gold bricks Of course that was really the end of°Gov Lung’s life when his hold on Yunnan was broken The Generalissimo put him under house arrest in Nanking Then he escaped to Hong Kong on one of Gen Chennault’s airplanes — he got on the plane disguised as an old woman And then the Communists defeated the Generalissimo and made Lung Yun a lot of promises and so he went back to China to become one of their puppets Didn’t Understand The trouble was all the time that he was a primitive with his roots in Yunnan He didn’t understand the Chinese Communists any better than vour friend Scott McLeod does although of course his mistakes about them were of a quite a different kind The Communists just gave a tempting tug on his roots in Yunnan and back Lung Yun went full of foolish hope and now he is under house arrest again in Peiping with an empty title that is meant to encourage turncoats on Formosa So you see you really don’t need to worry because my friend Lung Shun-weis the old Kai-she- k n too that the younger generation of Lungs behaved very differently from the old man One of my friend’s at-di- sap-suckin- two-spotte- d most-wante- g hold-tornad- y Roses are beginning to provide their' annual display and the peony is winning new applause

Is Skipper Without Crew By LOU GLADWELL City Hall Reporter Ray Clawson local director of civil defense finds himself the skipper of a ship without a crew having but scant cargo and plying a lonely course That civil defense is here to stay he has no doubts Frankly he loves his job and hopes he can stay on But that won’t be easy un less his bosses in the city and county get him some help and H better facilities He figures he’s put in around 500 hours of his own time chasing around talking civilian defense Even with that uuaweii kind of overtime he finds it hard to keep up with demands He
