CHANGING There are increasing indications that Moscow’s policy 4s changing to a more reasonable one. We do not infer ~that Moscow has changed its goal‘or its traditional dppo- sition to United States policies, but.it seems clear that the Soviet Union is making an all-out effort to change its policies as they affect countries in the Far East, in the Balkans and in Europe. : The recent Soviet agreement with China, in which 4 the Soviet Union made major concessions, promised to withdraw from Port Arthur and abandon its joint owner- ship of stock companies designed to exploit Chinese re- sources, is one point to be mentioned. In addition, the Soviet Government has reversed itself on the Trieste prob- lem and recently informed the United Nations that it ap- proved of the Trieste settlement, which was arranged by the United States and Great Britain. * Moreover, the Soviet Union has indicated it would go along with the Canadian proposal for world armament control. The Soviet Union says it wishes minor changes ‘in the proposal, but for the first time, it has indicated substantial agreement with a Western-proposed system of international armament control. The Russians have also broken up joint stock com- panies, in which Russian ownership was considerable in both Bulgaria and Rumania. In addition to these moves, and-others, the Russians now say they are ready to talk about unification of Ger- many. This last effort, concerning Germany, is considered propaganda by most Westerners — who think the Russ- ians are talking German unification only to stall the re- armament of West Germany. There are some, however, who think the Russians might be willing to consider German unification, and real sovereignty, if progress in’ such a direction could block alliance of West Germany with the democracies. The other day we heard a popular song that made sense, A good product, plus a fair price, and advertising — equals the road to success, Farmers had better keep a watchful eye on those who promise to help them, and especially candidates for Congress. The great thing about the United States is not that all citizens are equal but that all can make a place for themselves if they have the determination. It is estimated that $10,000,000 worth of radio-TV coverage was given the McCarthy-Army hearings. Even more valuable treatment was given the show in the coun- try’s newspapers.

Bone UAGE THEY’D UNDERSTAND | Likely Prospect For Far East Command Is An Expert At War, Diplomacy And Languages By MURRAY FROMSON SEOUL, (@—Maxwell Davenport Taylor is an expert at fighting, diplomacy and languages. - Taylor, the general most likely to become U.S. Far East’ Commander | next spring when Gen. John E. Hull |}- retires, recently surpriséd a group | of Okinawan legislators by convers- ' ing with them-in fluent Japanese. | He hain’t used the language to any | extent in 15 years, The four-star general hes mas- tered the Korean tongue since he became field commander of U.N. ground forces in Korea in January 1953. Friends say he' speaks Ko- rean better than President Syng- man Rhee. Taylor added Korean to his luncheon menu and daily put in a few licks at the language... He also speaks French, Italian, Spanish, ‘Chinese — and English. The Italian came in handy when Taylor in a World\War, I:.cloak and dagger operation a work out an Italian.armistice be- hind German lines. A man narmied Eisenhower said ofhim: == “The risks he ran were greater than I asked any other agent or emissary to undertake during the war.” He was the first U.S. General to fight in Normandy. He landed in the predawn hours of D Day with} paratrools. After the war, he com-} mandéd American troops in Berlin. At 54, he is tall, handsome and} square jawed. He transfers his main headquar- ters Saturday from Seoul to Japan and takes charge of all Army ground forces in Japan and Okina- wa as well as Korea. The tightening up of commands soon may throw Taylor in charge of the scattered military advisory groups in the Far,East. That would give him a key role in a handful of powder-keg situations in the Orient. If his role in South Korea is any criteria, he is the right man for the job. As commander there in the clos- ing months of the war and all the months of the uneasy truce, he has walked a tight wire with precision. He has kept one eye on the con- spiratorial Communist Koreans to the north, and the other on the rest- less South Koreans. In activities with the South Ko- rean allies, he has shown sym- pathy as well as strength. He un- derstands the human factor in dealing with human beings. { He shows up at orphanages, school dedications and fund-raising campaigns. He turned down a congressman’s suggestion that American troops work as labor battalions in rebuild- ing Korea. But he worked out a program of help known as the Armed Forces Assistance to Korea | program—and it has been a major | morale factor in the postarmistice | period. ‘ “Korea is developing a strong) capability to defend itself,” Taylor | says. f “The ROK army man for man is as good or better than any army it; is likely to encounter in Korea,” he said in an interview. He said that it had “given the grounds for hope that we have a force here that with adequate maturity will be aj formidable military asset in this part of the world.” ~ i Hal Boyle Says BASTOGNE, Belgium (® — If there is any place abroad where an American can be sure of a warmly sentimental welcome, it is here in this small Belgian town made world famous by a word — “nuts!” “Nuts,” is the reply an Amer- iean general ‘is supposed to havé made to: surrender demands of Germans besieging Bastogne dur-; ing the Battle: of the Bulge. Whether that is the word the general really used — or, as some tQ\ claim, it was. the army censor’s translation of an éven more forth- right barnyard term — it summed up the determination of the men who fought here. It helped im- mortalize Bastogne. ~ Today this is still known as “The Nuts City.” There is a “Nuts Mu- seum” that preserves wartime me- entoes. Visitors find a dish of huts on their table at mealtimes. Other engagements in the Battle of the Bulge were perhaps as im- portant as the heroic stand made here, but Bastogne remains ag the great symbol of Allied victory in Adolf Hitler’s last massive offen- sive against the West in 1944, Here the 10th Armored and 101st Airborne Divisions held the key Bastogne afea for vital days at the start of the offensive, a stand that caught the admiration of the world. Less well known, but even more bloody, was the fight that followed soon after when Hitler, the real purpose of his drive de- feated, massed his troops and again assaulted Bastogne, a prize he hoped would restore morale on the German home front.

This is available to both Colored and - White people — at the Key West High School and Douglass High School. Mr. McNeilly, working with Dr, Harold Campbell at the Key West High School is in charge of the pro- gram. Numerous classes are avail- able for self-improvement. It might be worth your while to investigate them. Of course, the present ¢class- es are not aimed at securing the equivalent of a high school educa- ton but tend to permit a person to develop himself in. specific fields of personal interest. O'’Bryant has particularly men- tioned the fact that many. Colored ladies have indicated st in practical nursing.
