Ike Is Disturbed About Spread Of Marx' Communist Teachings WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Eisenhower was saying the other 'day that Americans should reject the theories of Karl Marx. He told a news conference that he was greatly disturbed at the spread in the United States of an idea which dated back to Marx' Communist teachings of more than. 110 years ago. Specifically, Eisenhower object ed to Marx' doctrine of the class war, the ultimately violent con test for supremacy between what Marx called the proletarians and the bourgeoisie. That may be translated ' into labor (proletar ians) and management or capital (bourgeoisie i. Eisenhower's refers encc to Marxian theory i came dur ing discussion of steel labor con tract negotiations. Karl Marx, and his collaborator, Friedrich Engels, made their pitch for the class war for a classless society 111 years ago, in 1848.; They then wrote "The Communist Manifesto." Their work is the ba sic document of all of the Socialist parties in the world today, in cluding the Communist party of the Soviet Union. Non-Socialist parties and gov ernments have nibbled at various parts of the Marx-Engcls prescrip tion for a classless society, adopt ing bits and pieces of it. Of the 10 steps toward Socialism or Communism proposed by Marx and Engels, however, one notably has been accepted and made grimly effective in even the most capitalist nations, including the United States. i Marx and Engels' 10 steps to Utopia were these: Abolish property rights In land and apply all rents to public pur poses. Impose a heavy progressive or graduated income tax. Abolish all rights of inheri tance. ' Confiscate p-operty of all emi grants and rebels. 1 Centralize credit In the hands of the state by means of a na tional bank with state capital and exclusive monopoly. ' Centralize the means of com munication and transport in the hands of the state. Extend factories and Instru ments of production owned by the state; bring waste lands into cul tivation and improve the soil gen erally with a common plan. . Gombine agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradu ally abolish the distinction be tween town and country, by more equitable distribution-' of popula tion. "In a sense," Marx and En gels wrote, "the theory of the Communists may be summed up in a single sentence: Abolition of private property!" ' i A: .JfTii, )i;no;:.ip.yys;. k .

The riskiest part about fly ing is the driving, from home to plane and vice versa. I With this in mind, a St. Louis insurance firm currently is dis pensing to air travelers here nu-' meious hot tips for improving their longevity prospects on the road. i The firm nas parked its "Safe-T-Coaeh" at Washington National Airport, primarily for the benefit of the 300 drivers of a local firm which it insures and which oper ates cabs and limousines out of the airport , but incidentally for anybody passing through with 10 minutes to invest in saving a fend er or maybe a life. Depends On You On boarding the bus you meet first "the .best safety device" yet invented. This, in a mirror, turns out to be you. This flattery no doubt is calculated to soften you up for what is to come, the burden of which is that the most lethal weapon on the highway today also can be you. It depends on how you drive. Sealed beam headlights are sinned in your eyes, after which it takes three seconds to recover vision enough to see a stop sign. Next time, watch' the edge of the road instead ' of the oncoming lights. This cuts your recovery time in half. At 50 miles per hour, that could save you to travel again with the airlines. In another test of your prospects as a repeat customer at the air ticket counter you put your foot on the gas and your hand on the wheel. You run up the speedom eter and watch for the light to turn red. When it does, you react in 7-100tlis of a second. The dial shows your car traveled 47 feet while you got set to put on the brakes. Reaction It Slower That was without the distrac tions. Next time the instructor sounds' bells, horns, and sirens, and flashes lights in various col ors null places. This time when the red light comes on, at an un expected "location, your reaction is slower. You travel further be fore hitting the brake. "If you hud been tailgating then, and following any closer than 5 feet, you would have hit him," comments Douglas Whetzel, safe ty director for the transport firm Tailgating is a hackers' and truckers' term. In English, it Observer, La Grande, Ore., Toes., June 23, 1959 Page 3 Fire Sweeps Packed Hotel At Norwegian Tourist Spot VOSSESTRAND. Norway (UPD Fire swept the packed Stalheim Hotel early today, inflicting heavy loss of life on visiting tourists, many of them Americans. - Authorities said 31 persons were feared dead and 35 others injured. Police said seven charred bod ies had been recovered and that authorities believed another 24 persons were trapped and burned to death inside the four-story wooden hotel that burned within two hours. Hospital officials said some of the 35 being treated were in "serious" condition. Victims' names were withheld by author ities. Police said the hotel was packed by 147 guests and the Norwegian hotel staff when flames ripped means snuffling the exhaust pipe of the car in front, an offense against which Whetzel says he is sues regular warnings, apparently with considerable effect. He says his transport firm, over a 14-year period, has an unblemished record for safety. In other tests aboard the "Safe-To-Coach" your vision, hearing, depth perception, reaction time and general judgment all are sub jected to question. What constitutes a passing grade in the course nobody said. Rut you conclude to park your car next time and take a cab or limousine to the airport, I wouldn't be surprised if you got an A -plus. through tlus 50-year-old structte. The fire burned out the telephone system and hotel employes and guests were unable to telephijjio for help at once. m An' American tourist, Horjjce Caldwell, of Atlanta, Ga., sounded the alarm after fire invaded his room. Three American women leaped through upper floor windows ' to escape their flame-filled rooms. Police said one leaped from the third floor, and two from the see ond floor. " Other guests roused by Cald well's yelling ran screaming into the nearby woods where policy found them huddling under trews in the early morning chill. Norwegian officials said the ho tel, one of the best known tourit spots in Norway, drew its heay summer tourist trade mostly from American, British and Frenoh tourists who use Vossestrand the jumping off place for tours of Norway's spectacular western fjords. ' Caldwell said the noise of the roaring flames awakened him and his wife. - . ,,, "I ran Into the corridor and cried at the top of my voice that the hotel was on fire," he sajd. "Then I ran down to the recep tion office and roused the ho(,el staff. "In a few minutes the entire hotel was alarmed. Most of the guests were able to get out of the burning building, many pf them in their night dress only." HIT THIS GREAT KENTUCKY VJHMSKEY MN TWO BOTTLING S! $3Pr Pil PH" $4"5Qf' E ' ' I SUNNY .
