Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH rZZZTZZZ1 - - A GLANCE AT CIVILIZATION REVEALS... I Jackpot Question: What's the World Coming To? . . . CONFUSION, FEAR HYSTERIA, DESPAIR ' By H. I. PHILLIPS A GLANCE AT THE GLOBE The world is in queer shape. Everywhere civilization is wishing it could find a cure for its savagery. Confusion and fear are running neck and neck with hysteria and despair. Half the world is looking for trouble and the other half acts as if afraid there won't be enough to go around. People have always been called different from animals in that they were rational beings. But the ani-mals appear to be outsmarting us. For centuries man seemed to be getting more intelligent, but he never looked dumber than at the close of today's business. We belittled the caveman, but he had his own cave and all he needed for attack and defense were rocks. He didn't require millions of dollars, thousands of scientists and countless bureaus to help him when the slugging began. From the rock, man went to the and on up through javelin, gun-powder and machine-gu- n to the jet plane and atom bomb. Mars can now get him all his miser-ies wholesale. This planet has had two world wars in 30 years and it has not only lost the goal posts but isn't sure in which direction the field lines run. Millions fought to end tyranny, but seem to have swapped two small tyrants for a big one. We have ended secret diplomacy and substituted open covenants openly arrived at. And broken by micro-phone! We have the biggest peace organization in history, but it is too busy fighting to get any-where with a peace effort. All the world wants peace, but it first insists on the necessary ambulances and identification disks. Look at modern man! He is cockeyed, swivel-headed- , punch-drun- weak-minde-hysterical, confused, befuddled and on a treadmill carefully set between a buzzsaw and an abyss. The United States looks closer to normal than most countries, but she still resembles a cross between a vaudeville show, a trip over Ni-agara Falls, an outing of drunken magicians and a clambake of monkey-wrenc- h tossers. Every-body is trying to save somebody from something if it kills the bene-ficiary. In our yen for greater secur-ity we are winning ourselves a compulsory ride on a greased pole, and in our quest for the more abundant life we are win-ning unhappiness in carload lots. With the atom bomb hanging ovei us, we are concentrating on better hair tonics, government distribu-tion of baby-sitte- and a turkey in every chicken pie. This is the question of the hour: Can a nation exist half intelligent and half jackpot crazy? No coach-ing, pleasel Cuff Stuff A celebrated Hollywood star got into a nightclub row the other night because he refused to remove his hat when he sat down at a table. It is just possible he felt that his head-siz- e was changing too rapidly to take any chance. The mayor of New York's tele-phone lines have been tapped so much that his personal calls now have a Hooper rating and he may get a commercial sponsor for them. England is supplying wigs to its people free in its nationalized health service. Instead of "Britannia rules the waves" and "The sun never sets on British soil," now it's, "How's your hair and can I be of any help?" What a come-dow- Gromyko is returning to the U. N. He did not go home, it appears, to have his No's lifted. "Handkerchief Man Briefed On Code" N. T. Times headline. ... The usual spring code in the head, eh?

Whether it would in-sure peace or aggravate tensions into war, no one could say with finality. There could be no doubt anywhere, however, that its sign-ing was completed In a world at-mosphere redolent of both hopes and fears. STRIPPED of its mumbo-jumb- o phraseology, the intent of the pact is simple: It declares that an act of aggression against any of the signatory nations shall be construed as an attack against all. It does not make mandatory military help by any signatory to any pact mem-ber who may be attacked. The de-gree of assistance is optional. Therein, as many observers have pointed out, lies the pact's strength and its weakness. The strength in-herent in the proviso lies in its leaving to signatory nations exer-cise of their own judgment regard-ing the degree of emergency in the event of attack, and does not pre-cipitately hurl all pact signatories into war willy-nill- Its weakness stems from the fact that aggressor nations may be willing to gamble that great powers will not be will-ing to wage all-o- war to come to the assistance of a smaller signa-tory. THERE WAS STAUNCH denial that the pact was aimed at any particular nation, but only a moron would concede the truth in that. The pact definitely was aimed at blocking Russian aggression against the smaller signatories, and there was little effort to hide the hope that the pact would do just that. On the other hand, there were those who felt the step was one which would ultimately lead to war as Russia would brook no actions short of war to stop the tide of Soviet imperialism. Pact signatories were the United States, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxem-bourg, Netherlands, Norway, Por-tugal and the United Kingdom. DEFENSE: Arms for Europe The United States was urged to follow up swiftly its peace-insuranc- e action in signing the North Atlantic pact. General Omar N. Bradley, U.S. chief of staff, called for a military aid program which would strengthen western Europe as a fortress and stop an aggres-sor before he could overrun the continent. Bradley rejected the idea wide-ly held among some military men that it would be impossible to stop Russia from conquering all Europe if it chose. The best thing the United States could do, according to that theory, would be to strike back with air power and lead a counterattack which would even-tually liberate the continent. BRADLEY flatly contended that such strategy would breed despair among potential allies in Europe and render them impotent. His remarks carried added sig-nificance because he stated he had been requested by the state depart-ment to comment publicly on the military security significance of the North Atlantic pact and its im-plementation. He took a hefty swing at the Soviets, although omitting them by name, when he declared: "If to be resolute is to be hostile, then we shall have to endure the slanders of those who call us hostile. For their slanders are the expressions of angry resentment from jackals denied their plunder." HE DECLARED the Atlantic pact had removed the world crisis from a "cold war" stage, and warned that America could all "too readily become the victim of our own slogans ... if we do not soon re-nounce our catch-wor- d addiction in all too many minds that 'cold war' is the overture to real war, we may find ourselves with a mentality that accepts real war as inevit-able." But did his urging to strengthen the "ramparts" of Europe in favor of air power and liberation later, mean strengthen the pact coun-tries' defenses with men as well as guns and munitions. That was a possibility the peo-ple of the U.S. would have to con-sider. This map compares for the first time the boundaries of the U.N. decision with the area ac-tually won by Israel arms. The miracle of reclamation is Is-rael's present achievement and future hope. ' ARMISTICE: Jews in Dissent Amid verbal strife and dissen-sion, the government of Israel an armistice with Trans-Jorda- Despite vociferous opposi-tion, the government won a test vote of confidence in parliament. WHATEVER ELSE the armistice may have effected, a foreign office spokesman said it had added 150 square miles to Israel. This area was to be pared off the northwest-ern area of the bulge by an. Arab withdrawal from the Hadera-Aful- a road and off the western edge by a withdrawal from the Tel Aviv-Haif- a railroad. But the armistice was not effected without bitterness. Prime Minister David Ben - Gurion's opponents charged the armistice was tanta-mount to recognizing the incorpo-ration of the bulge north of Jerusalem into the Hashemite Jordan kingdom of monarch Abdullah. The vote followed a stormy five-hou- r debate. Opponents charged the armistice opened Israel to n influence. n retorted that possibly Trans-Jorda- n was a puppet government (of Britain) but there were also puppet parties in Israel serving out-side interests. CHINA: More Aid There would be more aid from the United States but, locking the door too late there was a condi-tion. The senate wrote into the aid bill a ban on shipments to Communist-co-ntrolled areas. IT LONG HAD BEEN public in-formation that much of the supplies and munitions sent by this country to aid the Chinese Nationalists in their fight against communism had fallen into Communist hands. The procedure was beginning to make America and its Far East policy appear a bit silly. Now, congress had moved to stop a procedure which must have afforded no little amusement to Russia and her Communist hordes in China. THE U.S. SENATE accepted an amendment to the aid measure to make available 54 million dollars in "frozen" China aid funds "pro- vided it is spent only in areas con-trolled by the Nationalist govern, ment." RUSSIANS ON RAMPAGE Soviet Troops Attack Even as the North Atlantic pact was being signed in an actual, though disavowed, effort to stem the spread of Russian imperialism, a military informant in Tehran re-ported Russian forces had attacked an Iranian army post. The report stated a Russian regiment, sup-ported by tanks and armored cars had made a new foray into Azer-h;iia-province. : Army Post in Iran Iranian troops replied to the fire and an "important battle" ensued, the source said. The reported clash occurred dur-ing a time of reported strained re-lations between the countries. Rus-sian pressure on Iran had been mounting, causing speculation thai the h Middle East country would become the next focal point in the "cold war."

PINKHAMS" The I I Fiction SOMETHING OF VALUE ANNA ES'WILS0N Corner Dad thanked him, but as he got up to go, Mr. Bonelli spoke. "I have a friend coming tomor-row and if you drop in you can talk it over with him.' All afternoon Dad polished the coin and when he went down to the studio in the morning the metal in the coin shone. Mr. Bonelli was talking to an-other man, when he saw Dad he beckoned him in. Dad took out the coin and the stranger glanced at it, but he was really looking at Dad. Dad in his neat worn clothes, was worth looking at. He had lived a good life and all this good living showed in his wrinkled face and clean blue eyes. Mr. Bonelli's owe eyes twinkled. "We find yon have something of value, Dad, after all," be said softly. "The coin was worthless," he continued. "We want to use you as a model for one of the figures on our Memorial. We want to employ you in the studio to keep track of valuables loaned to us. Mr. Twilin-ge- r says we couldn't get a better man. The pay is good, well over five hundred dollars for the year's work," he said gently. "You see, Dad, the thing you have of value is yourself. You've been a good citizen and it shines right in your face." ' THE PORCH was broad and sunny, and Elsie placed the big chair where Dad could see the people passing and look across into Barnes grocery store. "You see, Dad," she .said cheer-fully, "you'll be happy here in the sunlight, and you can watch what goes on over there in the store it'll be no time at all until you for-get about the shop Goodness knows, a man who's worked until he's sixty-fiv- e years old has earned a rest." Dad sank back in the chair and sighed wistfully. "I know, Elsie, and the company I was real nice. Mr. -- Minute Twilinger pre-Fictio- n 3 sentted me with I watch, and said they were real sorry about my eyes, and hated to let me go. Watch making is such fine work and," Dad finished care-fully, "there was no other place open in the shop where they could work me in. Mr. Twilinger ex-plained about it all before I came away." "Yes," Dad tried to settle him-self uneasily, "but sitting here isn't going to help pay for this house, and I did hope to see you settled in a home of your own before I died." He was glad when Mrs. Frisby stopped to talk. She was gossipy and friendly . and liked a chat. "Glad to see you taking a rest at last. Dad. Goodness knows, it was time. I see you've been looking at the sketch for the new Memorial. Isn't it wonderful that a great artist like Mr. Bonelli's been engaged for the job. They say he's been asking for medals to copy on the figures of the war veterans and I'm hurry-ing right down with this one of Willie's. Dad stared at the sketch of the Memorial, thinking of what Mrs. Frisby had said. Something . of value. Dad went over all his meager possessions and they weren't much. Just his clothes, neat and clean, the watch Mr. Twilinger had given him and that old coin. Dad was confused by the noise and bustle when he entered Mr. Bonelli's studio, but Mr. Bonelli smiled at Dad and took him Jnto a little office in the rear. "It's about a coin," said he hum-bly, and took out his lucky piece. "Where did you get it, and why do you want to sell it, Dad." It was easy to talk to Mr. Bonelli, and Dad explained about his home and Elsie. THE ARTIST sighed "It might have been valuable once, but it's too defaced now for restoration I'm sorry," he looked as if he really was." I wish 1 could tell you that it's worth something but I'm afraid it's not.' ; Anomi A General Quiz r r-- r-- c e-- c-- r-- c-- tv. . a. a. n , The Questions 1. What . do we call a goose? 2.
