Coumunity Auditor1um ee EISENHOWER ON RUSSIAN INTENTIONS General Dwight D. Eisenhower has made it plain that he expects no Russian aggression as long as the free world maintains a strong defense, The Republican nom- {nee for President, who was in charge of North Atlantic Treaty Alliance armies in Europe until June, thinks the Russians have reorientated their plans and are now con- centrating on building up their industrial capacity, Eisenhower believes the Russians have abandoned plans for any immediate attack in favor of plans to be- come the most powerful industrial empire in the world. He believes Stalin will risk another world war only when he is assured of production surpassing that of the United States, which can be maintained over a long period of years. Eisenhower's appraisal of the Russian threat is mild- ly encouraging, since it tends to minimize somewhat the immediate Russian threat. He, however, stresses the long- term problem facing the United States — that of increas- ing production totals and maintaining prosperity at home. When Russian production totals surpass those in the United States, this country will be in more imminent dan- ger of attack from the Communists than it has ever been in before. It is up to the Government, and the industrial leaders of the United States ‘to see that this eventually does not come to pass COMMUNISM IN SOUTH PACIFIC In the Educational Record, quarterly journal of the American Council of Education, is a report of Dr. Walter Crosby Eells, former adviser of higher education with SCAP in Japan, on conditions in Australia, New Zealand, Florida Job Situation Shows Gain “ ser gee Bubes On The Bench | this month were initial as contrast- | | An increase of aproximately 1,- 000 persons in August shows a} | small rise in the state’s unemploy-} ment over that of the previous} month, announced Raymond FE.) Barnes, Chairman of the Florida Industrial Comission, today. Re- vealed in a report given to the chairman by Charles M. Mann, di- rector of the Unemployment Com- | pensation Division, 18,833 persons reecived $1,120,708 in August, whereas the previous month only 17,900 claimants received $868,063. The increase in amount and num- ber of payments for August is due| mainly to the fact that citrus work-} ers were laid off in the past for weeks are still on continued claims status. The initial claim decreased since the peak of the layoff is past. Only about 9,563 of the claims filed ed with last month when 97 percent of the claims were initial. In comparison with the amounts | of payments in August, 1951, fig- | ures show that although there was more unemployed at that time, there was less money paid. Approx- imately 19,400 persons received $1,- 067,805. Lt. Washburn Here "or Naval Service Lieutenant Orval J. Washburn, USN, recently reported to the staff of the U.S. Fleet Sonar Son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Washburn of Toledo, Washington, Lt. Washburn enlisted in the Navy jin 1934, He received his recruit | training at the San Diego Naval Training Center and served on the aircraft carrier USS Langley and the cruiser USS St. Louis until he was commissioned Ensign in 1943. ; While serving on the USS St. Louis as gun captain, Lt. Washburn par- ticipated in two engagements which ‘that vessel had with Japanese sur- face vessels in the southwest Pac- ific. Since then, Lt. Washburn has ser- |ved on the USS Houston and the USS Newport News, attended the | Gunnery Officer's School at the | | Naval Gun Factory in Washington, | | D.C. and was a student under the | Holloway Plan at the Oregon St. College, Corvallis, Oregon. Prior to | reporting to the Sonar School, he served as gunnery officer on board the destroyer USS Sarsfield.

A new crop of jokes deriding the Russians, the Communists and all things Bol- shevism has been harvested in re- cent weeks, Refugees sliding past grim guards bring the gags with them to West Berlin where it is consider- ably safer to indulge in them. They say however, that the anti-state jokes are part of the nightly rou- tine in many a beer hall, told with one eye out for the nearest Com-/ munist cop. The Russian zone threat to re- arm is reflected in the latest wisecracks. An example concerns the conversation between Sch- midt and his friend Mueller Who is foreman of a heavy industry plant. Schmidt asks what they make and Mueller replies: “’Per- ambulators.” “just what are you manufactur- ing?” The manager lifts a small plate | from a conveyor belt. It bears the | stamp: “Elevator out of order.” The Communist hierarchy in the East draws a good share or barbs. The propaganda chief is informed by his aide that ‘‘the demonstration and for the creation of a national army must be cancelled because it is raining cats and dogs.” “Those dam yankees are capable |of anything,” the chief shouts in rage.

SCOOTER ACCIDENTS | | Scooter accidents continue ‘o| | take a toll amongst both children and adults. The town seems to | have gone hog-wild with its dri- | ving habits, scooters, automo- | biles, and bicycles alike. It would appear that at least half of the people are bent on committing suicide while operat- ing various types of vehicles. The police can’t handle the sit- uation. They can blow their whis- | tles, lecture drivers, or summon | them to court. It is a waste of | time. People who care so little} i | | of others, aren’t likely to worry about a five or ten dollar fine.
