NEHRU — “OFF” AGAIN Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has blasted the recently-signed Southeastern Defense Treaty, to which eight nations, including the United States, Great Britain and France, were parties, The treaty was recently agreed upon in Manila. Nehru describes the treaty as an instrument which {s likely to create more tension in Asia than security. He called it an “unfortunate” development, and said that the fact that non-Asian countries were drawing up such treaties was an obvious mistake. Nehru, speaking at an Indian Press Association lunch- eon, said the non-Asian powers were joining together to protect countries which did not want protection. He said some Asian powers affected had made it clear that they did not want to be protected. Another of Mr, Nehru’s accusations was that the treaty tended to support colonialism, and preserved the special interests of Western powers in Asia. discussion of public issues st, but it will not publish Mr. Nehru’s attitude overlooks the fact that Asian | Powers, at present, do not have the forces available to | protect themselves against organized invasion from with- in or without. It is obvious that speeches, such as the recent one criticizing the Southeast Asia treaty by the Prime Minister of India, will tend to encourage Communist aggression in Asia. As long as the Communists can keep India, and most of the Colombo powers, neutral, they will have a foot in the door or an initial advantage in initiating ag- | gression in Southeast Asa. Nehru seems to be doing his best to prevent a solid defense line-up against Communist aggression and preserve opportunities for the Commu- nists to exploit. U. S. SUCCESS IN U. N. The United States has, for the third successive year, succeeded in postponing a Soviet demand to take up the question of admitting Red China into the United Nations. The yote — only a few days ago — was 48-11. Despite the support of India, the Russians failed in their effort to bring the question before the U. N., and the United States proposal to postpone action received over- whelming support, including the votes of Great Britain and France. if The following nations voted against the United proposal: Burma, White Russia, Czechoslovakia, Den- mark, India, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Soviet Ukraine, Soviet, Union and Yugoslavia. Of course, White Russia, Czechoslovakia, Poland and the Soviet Ukraine are all stooge-countries under Russian domination, and constitute only a duplication of the Russian vote. The votes of India, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Burma are disturbing, since they represent a Russian success in the propaganda | war. > Despite these few successes, the United States car- ried with her — and with the U. S. proposal to postpone any action — the vast majority of the nations of the world, and thus continues to frustrate the desires of the Red Chinesé concerning U. N. membership. It’s well to remember that some of the finest friend- ships are made in church. AIST RIAD] SIEIRIEINIE! PIR) UE/SIT} FNL (au) LAWL |S} Crossword Puzzle ‘aula JEILIEITIE ACROSS 1, Legume 4.

Whether he continues to earn $200,000 a year as a career father depends on whether he transmits to his offspring his own dazzling qualities speed, heart and strength. Only time can determine that. But the Dancer’s own tremendous record has given him a head start in his new vocation. In developing thoroughbreds, owners generally follow the maxim. “you breed the best to the best and hope for the Native Dancer’s $5,000 stud fee is high, but there have been higher.

The ballots totaled 181, and the men voting represented al- most every state in the Union. J.

He will be 24 next spring, and is still active, al- though the number of his engage- ments has been cut gradually from 40 a year dewn to 12. “But he’s got more good horses the last five years than he did the first five years,” remarked Van- derbilt Great track performers don't al- ways go on to become the great- est sires. The fabulous Man O’War, still regarded by many as the race- horse of the century, led American sires only one year. In 1926 his offspring won 49 races and $408,- 137. The most successful living sire, Bull Lea, not yet old enough to vote, never set any big money rec- ords in his saddle-wearing prime He was put out to stud in 1940 at the age of 6. Since 1947 he has led the sire list every year except 1950 and 1951. Bull Lea's offspring earned at least a million dollars in four of those years. In 1947 they set the modern record in track winnings—$1,630,655 Like racing itself, siring is an unpredictable industry, and every colt is an expensive gamble. But Vanderbilt, at 42 one of the kingpins of racing, no longer has to dip into his 20 million dollar inheritance to support his expen- sive stable. It has run to 8 or more horses. Now he trms to 40 or 45 in training season. “In the last four or five years it certainly has been paying for me.” he said, cheerfully. “But Wind and reported rough seas) You | between Key West and Dry Tor-| atea. Roosevelt called it a “‘yardstick” to show what electric power cos:s should be. Private utility com- panies protested it was unfair to compare their costs with those of a government-backed agency. The argument over public vs. private power has never died: Should the government get deeper into the power field through a big- ger TVA or should TVA be elim- inated, or at least limited, in favor of private power companies? TVA now has an added drain on it because of the power it supplies to atomic energy plants. And TVA officials wanted new power plants started in 1955 to meet needs in 1957. TVA could build and own them or a private company could do that and sell power to TVA, In either case the taxpayers would foot the bill since Congress woul have to vote the money. President Eisenhower let his feelings about TVA be known in June 1953, when he publicly cited it as an example of “creeping so- | cialism” although he said he was- jn’t out to destroy it. | TVA officials urged that Eisen- |hower, in his budget message to | Congress in January 1954, ask for money to build a new TVA pow- er plant at Fulton, Tenn. Eisen- hower didn't. Instead, his administration, with his approval later in, 1954 negoti- ated a contract with a private util. ity group known as Dixon-Yates io build its own steam power plant |at West Memphis, Ark. It would | supply TVA with power to make) up for TVA power given to the | atomic plants. The government | would invest 5%2 million dollars ef its own funds in the West Memphis plant—its cost would be 107 mil lion dollars—and obtain the res‘ through Jong-term bonds. The basic charges to the govern ment, figured at $20,746,000 a year, would include all taxes, interest of 3% per cent on the bonds, and a specified yearly return of 9 per cent on the original Dixon-Yates investment of 5%4 million. The Atomic Energy Commission and the Budget Bureau starting last December, carried the ball in finally working out the contra’ with Dixon-Yates. Gordon R. Clapp, former TVA chairman whom Eisenhower did not reap- point when his term expired last May, sdid neither Eisenhower nor AEC Chairman Lewis L. Strauss ever consulted him. The administration contends the contract is a fair and practical way to get needed power in the TVA area without spending govern. ment money for another TVA steam plant. Eisenhower says the t Public is perfectly and splendidly | protected. The contract's critics have said plenty, none more than Clapp. He says Eisenhower was sold a bill of goods by the Budget Bureau. This contract, he says, would cost the government more than five million dollars a year more than the cost of energy TVA could sup. ply from its proposed Tenn., plant. Clapp said the contract is in- tended to saddle TVA with higher costs and push its rates up so that TVA will no longer be a “yardstick” to keep private power rates down. | | | By WILLIAM NEWKIRK CLEVELAND #® — A judge’s \threat of a six-day week for the | Sheppard murder trial faced de- \fense lawyers today because of | their long cross examination of jthe state's first witness. | As the third week of, the trial closed yesterday, Defense. Atty. William J. Corrigan still was dog- gedly questioning Deputy Coroner | Lester Adelson, who had been on the witness stand all day. And the attorney said he would need at least another hour Monday to com- plete his cross examination of the witness, ' Judge Edward Blythin§ an- nounced that if the pace of the trial |continued to be slow, he might start holding Saturday sessions.

The jurors divided their atten. tion between the witness on the stand and the defendant. Once, several ‘turned their heads away quickly as Sheppard looked up and faced them with misery in his eyes. Corrigan, whose relentless ques- tioning hammered Adelson into making nervous and somewhat de- fiant answers, tried to discredit the autopsy the deputy coroner made of the body. The lawyer told a reporter later: “The police and these people from the coroner's office simply went out to that,(Sheppard) house and decided that Sam Sheppard killed his wife. After that, they never made an attempt to see if anyone else did it.” Corrigan got Adelson to concede the coroner's. office made only a microscopic test to determine whether the victim had been raped, and did not make a chemi- cal examination.
