It is the only reasonable conclusion since the Reds announced the talks can continue if the Allies will admit a plane tried to murder the Communist delegates by dropping explosive bombs and jellied gasoline near their quarters. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, who previously rejected their charge as a fake and a fraud, is unlikely to accede to their demand. Ridgway has informed the Reds that their neutrality-violatio- n charges are noththan more malicious lies, deliberately manufactured for propaganda ing effect and unworthy of reply. As long as both parties maintain this attitude there is little hope for a resumption of talks. And even if they should be resumed, other incidents will be manufactured by the Reds to further their propaganda aims. Peace in Korea will not be restored until one side or the other is thoroughly and completely defeated. JAPANESE TREATY On Tuesday 34 nations gathered at San Francisco to sign the proposed peace treaty with Japan Russia is represented, but no one expects her to sign the document which is sponsored by the United States. To the contrary, she will do everything in her power to wreck the treaty negotiations and eventually will present her own versions of a pact. The big news as the conference opened was Indias boycott of the meeting. That countrys denunciation of the treaty was in direct line with Moscow propaganda and will have many repercussions in this nations foreign aid program. It may lead to a tougher U.S. policy towarc India and a reduction in aid given her in Recent months. It may also mean that a number of other countries will suffer as a direct result 0 Indias stand. Home Towns Have Less Crime Than Big Cities, FBI Reports Life and property are much safer in a small town than a big city, according to a recent report on nationwide crime statistics by the Federal Bureau' of Investigation. The FBI report shows that the murder rate last year in the nations 37 largest cities (populations of 250,000 or more) was more than twice as high as that in 1,197 towns having populations under 10,000. The large cities had almost seven murders per 100,000 population, while small towns had less than three. The balance sheet on other crimes shows a similar tendency. But there is one exception to the rule. Levittown, N. Y., the nations fastest-growin- g city, had even less crime than the typical American 8739 House Dress is XJERE dress a handsome house thats pretty enough to wear all day long.
