The Associated Press Is entitled exclusively to the use for republication of all local news printed In this newspaper Or Else -What? "The Communists have got to give an ac counting of them (3,404 United Nations pris oners of war believed held back by the Reds) or else," Major General Bryan, senior Al lied armistice commissioner, said when he handed the list of prisoners over to the Chi nese. "Or else" what? The general's threatening statement is be ing interpreted in some quarters as new evi dences that the United States is no longer (if it ever did) fooling around and acting the sucker. The general's statement is in line with some recent statements from Secretary Dul les that have been interpreted as evidence of a new, clear, positive foreign policy. General Bryan and Secretary Dulles both, talk tough but just what do they mean? Dulles said that if war in Korea was re newed there is no guarantee the war could be confined to Korea. And he said that if there is more aggression in Indo-China this "could not occur without grave consequences which might not be confined to Indo-China." These statements in themselves are rather vague warnings, but they are open to all kinds of interpretation along the line sug gested by one senator who demanded use of atomic bombs on China if the Reds don't stick to their agreements in Korea. But Dulles did not come right out and say that. And Bryan only said, " or else.' Does the general mean that, if the Reds don't come through with the required information and or personnel, we are going to go in and get it and or them ourselves? Does the Secretary mean that the United States is ready and willing to abandon the "limited war" idea and launch all-out war the next time there is an outbreak of hostilities in some far-off corner of Asia? Is the U.S. prepared to bomb air bases in China-and prepared to face re taliatory bombing of our air bases in Japan or the Philippines or Hawaii or Alaska? In his speech to the American Legion Dul les said that wars often come from a failure to make intentions clear in advance. He in dicated that he intends to make clear Amer ica's intentions. His own warnings and the warning by General Bryan both need clarify ing. A simple "or else" is not going to strike . fear into the heart of the Kremlin; Real Thoitghty of Them Starting today, the lucky winners of over time parking! tickets won't have to drive all the way to the city hall to pay their 50-cent tribute to the! law. As an extra-added attrac tion to downtown parking and a genuine aid to the dtizenjry, collection boxes for parking fines have been set up along the busiest streets. I The ticket-dispensing patrolmen are going to leave littli red envelopes along with the notices under the windshield wiper which, as Snuffy Smith would say, is real thoughty of them. The collection boxes ought to result in con siderable saving of various things. Gas, for instance. A lot of flivver fuel is wasted driv ing around and around the city hall block, waiting for the police cars to leave so you can duck into one of their "parking for po lice cars only" parking places and dash into the lion's den to deposit your half - dollar. Eliminating this temptation to park in the verboten slots before city hall will also save many a guilty conscience. And money. Some times a busy driver who could not immedi ately find a parking place near city hall, for gets entirely about paying his debt to society and next thing he knows the price for re deeming himself has gone up to $1. The collection boxes may conceivably result in reduced traffic accidents, too. A ticketed motorist with an explosive temper ought not to be let lose on the public high ways on his way to city hall. He's not likely to feel charitable toward pedestrians or courteous to other drivers. Chances are all he sees is red and we don't mean the red stop lights, either.? But now, with the new system in effect, the first thing he'll see is that red envelope. Instead of taking out his rage on innocent bystanders or law-abiding drivers, he can throw his fit Of pique right there on the side walk as he drops his loose change into the collection box. Of course, he might also en close a little inote expressing his sentiments to Chief Warren along with a word of appre ciation for this newest of modern conven iences. Providing notepaper (asbestos) along with the envelopes would be the next logical step. Let's do a real job of this thing. DOWN, BOY, DOWN! "Candy is dandy, but likker is quicker," they used to say, either in advice or warning. But now it appears that liquor, as a tongue loosener, has a dangerous rival.

The 68-page booklet answers 291 questions frequently asked about Cong ress and its doings; the title is "Our Ameri can Government: What is it? How Does it Function?'' The New York report that President Eisen hower was going to take Secretary Dulles in to the woodshed at Denver for some of the language he used regarding . foreign nations didn't work out. Usually the President knows what his Secretary of State is going to say, in advance. Still; it is a question whether Dulles should have sandpapered as many interna tional wounds as he did in one week. Newcomers to the city, driving past those "Speed Checked by Radar" signs, have been seen glancing furtively around. They get that odd feeling that an unseen eye is watching every move. From this, how long will it be before we have signs warning: "Speed Check ed by Mental Telepathy"?

Left Wing Socialism in Britain Said to Have . Received 'Kick in Pants' Fronji Union Group By J. M. ROBERTS, JR. Associated Press News Analyst Left wing socialism in Britain has taken a kick in the pants from the Trades Union Congress. Last year, overruling its general council, the congress instructed the council to report this year on ways and means of extending the nation alization of business and industry in the face of the Conservative Party's efforts to undo some of the nationalization already accom plished under the Labor Party. Instead of doing that, the general council produced a report recom mending that the congress not in sist. - The general council is the exe cutive board of the congress. Its attitude was opposed by the Com munists and the left wingers of the Labor Party led by Aneurin Bevan. At the showdown, delegates rep resenting 3.702.000 union members stuck with the conservative ap- !roach of the council. Their major ty was more than a million. Supporters of the "go slow" poli cy accused the minority of being unrealistic in believing that the mere act of nationalization would bring them all 1 the benefits they want. This point has long been recog nized by many workers, such as those in coal, steel and transpor tation, who actually experienced nationalization of their industries. They worked under the same old bosses, drew the same old pay or received improvements about on a par with what they would have re ceived normally under private ownership. Most of what they got was ex ic situation since the war, were prevented from extending benefits which, to consolidate their ideas, they would have established under more normal circumstances. As a result. Britain turned her face away from socialism and re turned the Conservative party to power. That was an important influence on the decision of the general coun cil that the campaign for national ization should not be renewed at this time. The more conservative wing maintained that research, planning and education of the pub lic would be necessary before there would be any possibility of resum ing the socialist trend. The congress also had before it the example of Australia, which abandoned socialism some time before Britain did, and which now is able to give its people consider ably greater tax relief than Britain has been able to do.

Statesman proofreaders are having their annual hassle this week over (among other things) the correct spelling of the track term, "quiniela." Some reporters, including Al (Long Shot) Lightner prefer "quinella." While others, includ ing the official betting window sign-makers, make it "quin iela." And it has been written "quiniella." To make things worse the word isn't in the dictionary under any spelling. To lots of bangtail betters the word still spells "no soap." To those who are up and about in the wee hours the Fair grounds presents a weird sight after midnight. The grounds, which by day are a sprawling mass of noise, smeJs and confu sion, are by night quiet, but twitching. The rides and conces sions are all darkened, but here and there you can see a light in a tent on the midway. Maybe a huckster is counting the day's take or a couple of concessionaires are talking things over. The exhibit buildings are all lighted and a few guards i roam through them. In the livestock barns you find lots of jealous owners of championship stock bedding down near their animals.

Bv Lichty Literary Guidepost By W. G. Rogers THE BLACK CITY, by M. F.

The average worker .couldn't buy much even when he had money, and couldn't wear or eat the pleasant thought of working for himself. Many socialist leaders admitted several years ago. Part of this was due to the fact that the socialist leaders, faced by the hard facts of Britain's econom- a nasty quarrel with bis wife, has a last nasty tune with the rioters who come to loot and burn; when the Orangemen hold their big parade. But mostly the action in this story centers about Hugh Kelly,: Maura Nolan, his girl, Willie, her lazy brother, and some desperate; chiefs of the Irish Republican Army, in particular Seam us Sulli van, one-time Catholic and now a Communist. Flynn the newsman, in it all at the beginning, comes back at the end to draw the cur tain. In between, you see Hugh recalling his father's brutal mur der at the hands of Black and Tan; planning vengeance, drilling with the RA; loving Maura some but being loved more since she hasn't the bitter politics to occupy her mind and fill her with hatred. Caulfield guides you in so many different directions in the first several chapters of his novel ... to the playground, the drill field, the pub, the courtroom, the crowded streets, the lovers' J lane .... that you wonder for a time whether he has a story or just a setting. Once be fixes on Hugh, for himself as well as for you, as his chief character, the t story develops dramatically, and the scenes which as the start were no more than colorful be come stark and gripping. IS c?w tat tin Ma immmm a fi L, (Continued from page one) on giving the human mind op portunity for free play in in quiry, the free following of curiosity. As he writes: "The most imaginative and powerful movements in the his tory of science have arisen not from plan, not from compulsion, but from the spontaneous en thusiasm and curiosity of cap able individuals who had the freedom to think about the things they considered interest ing." For all our cherishing of political freedom in this country and for all outpouring of wealth in special fields of re search (disease, atomic weapons, etc.) we still fall short in en couraging unrestricted explora tion. We gear our pure science closely to applied science, and ask to see quick returns from efforts and investments. To quote Dr. Weaver again: "It is a truism that we are most ingenious, here in Amer ica, in instrumenting and ex ploiting ideas. But we are not so good as we should be in produc ing fundamental ideas. And we are still immature in the sense that we are impatient, that we demand quick 'results. We do not furnish for science enough of the sustained and flexible support which would provide great minds with the leisure and the calm to think." We should realize this fact from our experience with the A-bomb. It is true that the United States supplied the capi tal and the know-how to produce the first A-bomb. But as Mr. Dean, former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, has said, "The' A-bomb is an immi grant." The fundamental re search was done by Italian, Ger man, and Danish scientists, with notable contributions by British and Americans. We have many run-of-mine Ph. Ds., but all too few superior intellects. Freedom of inquiry should not he limited to natural science. It should be extended to the field of human relations: Sociology, economics, political science. philosophy, religion. As Jesus said: "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." But first there must be freedom to seek the truth. The university therefore must enjoy a certain' detachment from the world of trade and of eustom. Its wellsprings must not be contaminated with evil design. Its honest gropings must be viewed with tolerance, and its errors accepted with a high degree of sympathy. They are the price of finding the truth. mmmmmmmmmmmmimm Better EnHfih By D. C OTIXIAMS 7s fat cenvarfe &ooJka,epeff accuswf . Ministry mt pnpagmd ' muJuij 1. What is wrong with this sentence?
