Secretary Dulles was obviously trying to make the intentions of this Govern- ment clear to all concerned—something our State De- partment has not always done in recent years. Secretary Dulles pulled no punches in _ telling oe Communists that a new attack in Korea would end the “sanctuary” of Manchurian air and supply bases which the Communist air force used throughout the Korean War. He also hinted that any official Chinese Communist participation in the Indo-China fighting would probably involve China in fighting elsewhere. The warning in-' cludes the possibility of Chinese Nationalist action or Chinese Nationaiist and U. S. action combined. If the Chinese Communists, or any other Communist country, provoke a new aggression regardless of the Sec-; retary’s words, the consequences will be grave. The Unit-' ed States’ position -has'been placed before the rest of the world and it is hardly likely that we could back down, if our warning were ignored, without losing face in the Far East. The next move in the Far East is up to the Com- munists and, on it hinges the choice of war or peace for China and the United States. It is surprising how few le have sense enough to listen to an authority @n his ect. It is a pity no fair way for judging beauty contests exists. The prettiest thing often loses. The editor is under no illusion that these shots are the ultimate in intellectual sophistication. Those who live to be fifty will live many more years if they have sense enough to understand their age. Many youngsters, back in school, are certain they are experiencing the worst feature of modern civilization. Now that the fighting in Korea has ended, it might’ be a good idea to try to end the killing on the highways. Everyone is in favor of a large national income. The only differences arise in the ideas how it should be dis- tributed. Crossword Puzzle IPIAIRTAIOTE BT SIWIOIOIN| S| ART ISIEIN ET! EL.

From industrial sources comes ithe further indication that corpor- ate plans call for private business ito put up even more money in the years just ahead. Industry is expected soon to overtake government in the vol- ume of money spent. ‘The govern-; ment will probably continue to be ithe heavy spender in research touching the many problems of na-| tional defense. But private indus- try is becoming increasingly in- terested in developing new prod- ucts as it moves into competitive markets, And as colleges. and governmen- ital agencies trim their budgets for basic research, private industry is ‘increasing the amount of money it puts into this type.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Department of Defense, in @ survey of research being fi- manced by private industry, re- ports that the oil industry is pay- ing 97 cents of its research dollar land the government only three cents, although much of research contributes to national defense. The chemistry industry pays 93; cents of its research dollar out ‘of its own pocket; the food indus- try 96 cents; auto industry 91 cents; and the primary metal in- dustries 90 cents.

Thanks in large part to the stars, the pool business is booming. From 8,000 to 10,000 private pools are being built every year in the United States, more than existed in the whole country prior to 1940. I learned some fancy facts about this budding new industry from Philip Isley, president of Paddock Pools, which Isley claims is earli- est and biggest company in the field. “There’s no doubt that the stars| helped the business along,” he re- marked, .‘‘People in this country) and all over the world have had a profound interest in what movie| stars do.
