BRIEF ENDORSED RADENTON — Atty. Gen Richard Ervin’s brief on desegre- gation in the public schools has been endorsed by the executive committee of the Florida School Board. Assn.

Gypsum companies already have made substantial savings in the cost of building materials by mech- anizing their plants so that oper- ations are almost entirely automat- ie with labor costs reduced to a minimum. Since 1945 the industry’s. {investment per worker has nearly tripled. Each of the four principal com- panies in the field—which the in- stitute lists as United States Gyp- suin, National Gypsum, Certain- teed Products and Celotex—are ex- pected for several years to come to spend about five million dol- lars annually on further improve- ments and modernization. Research activities since the war the institute says, have centered jargely on mechanization, rather than on fundamental product im- provement. But recently a couple of the companies have built basic research centers and the institute expects this to lead to new and better producs—a a reduced cost a the consumer, Red Sincerity On Disarmament To 'Be Tested In U.N. UNITED. NATIONS, N.Y. @ — Britain’s top-delegate to the U.N. General Assembly prepared a list | of searching questions today to test the sincerity of new Russian dis- armament proposals which appear to meet some Western demands. The British delegation chief, Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd, led off the speaking list as the Assembly’s 60-nation main Politi- cal Committee launched its dis- armament debate. The debate, expected to continue for about two weeks, links a Brit- ish-French compromise plan ac- cepted in principle last June by the United States with a similar proposal offered the U.N. 10 days ‘ago by Russia’s Andrei Y.

If Mother says “yes,” their appetites are lessened for the nourishing meal she puts on the table later; if she says “no,” the whining and crying drives her to distraction — not to mention that the amount of money wasted can mount considerably, especially in larger families. Can’t we even find sanctuary in our own homes? I’ve been told there is a law forbidding “peddlers” . (and that is what they are) from Government reservas tions. If so, why can’t it be enforced? Or is it asking too much for Mothers and Fathers to be able to relax in their own homes without the “public nuisances.” MRS. J. V. T.

Eight times in thos 10 mid-term elections the party controlling the Senate lost seats and twice lost control of the Senate altogether: in 1918 and 1946. Eisenhower long ago, it/‘seems, made up his mind that while he would make a few speeches this year to help his Republicans he would do it in a general way, na- tionally. Vice President Nixon applauded this approach to the election prob- lem but Joseph Martin, speaker of term elections the party control-| themselves. City street lighting could be shut off. Wouldn’t lines. There wouldn’t be any tourists. The Conchs could have miniature golf courses all to need it. City commissioners could go to sleep at nights. Airports? Wouldn’t need them.
