Dulles Favors Asian Peace Study Team WASHINGTON CP Secretary of State Dulles said Tuesday the United States would support an ap peal to theJnited Nations to send a peace observation commission to Red-threatened Southeast Asia.

Simmon's Fuel An Army spokesman here said the conversion the fourth since 1946 was taken primarily to crafck a counterfeit ring in Japan in ; operation for some time. But there was no word from Tokyo confirming existence of a ring. Officers at the Pentagon in Wash ington said counterfeiters general ly were the target for the change, but they knew of no ring operat ing now in Japan. The sweeping order affected all U.S. military and civilian person nel in the Far Eastern Command, Germany, Austria, Trieste, France England. Greece. Morocco. Trip oli. Yugoslavia. Iceland and Bel gium. In Europe alone, half a mil lion Americans were affected. Swamped With Business Army Finance officers were swamped with business as holders of the vari-colored scrip turned it in for the new in denominations ranging from five cents to 10 dol lars. AH U S military installations engaging in trade dealings except messes for transients shut down while the changeover was being made. The exchange was supposed to be complete by noon Wednes day, although those with "valid reasons" got five days additional time. The official explanation of the move was a terse Army announce ment which said: "Military scrip used by U.S. per sonnel overseas was ordered changed throughout the world to day in a surprise move aimed at counterfeiting. Planned for several weeks, the scrip conversion re mained a secret until 4 a.m. (11 p.m. Monday, EST) today, when unit commanders were notified." Fourth Conversion This was the fourth scrip con version since 1946. The first was from occupation marks to military payment certificates. The 'second was to cancel out black market operators, caught short by the quick switch. The last two have been pointed at counterfeiters, al though black marketers holding wads of the superseded issue also took j beating. InTuesday's operation, the low ly American penny came into its own. For several hours it was the only U. S. military money of value. The penny is the only regular American money permitted to cir culate at military bases abroad. Scrip circulates in denominations of 5. 10, 25 and 50 cents; 1, 5 and 10 dollars. ( Money Ills' Attributed To Parents DENVER (INS) A Denver psychiatrist believes too many modern parents have a disease which he calls "money sickness." Dr. Norbert L. Shere, chief psy chiatrist for the Denver juvenile and domestic relations court, blasted parental habits of money loving and social climbing as de vices for training inferiority com plexes into children. The Colorado University medi cal school instructor suggested most parents should content them selves with bringing up "average, civilized" children, instead of con stantly making their youngsters strive for perfection. Shere said, "There are few par ents that I see who have not ex pected more of their children even demanded more of them than they could give." He stressed that youngsters who can't live up to parental ex pectations naturally develop feel ings of inadequacy. Shere who has dealt with hun dreds of "behavior problem" chil dren sharply criticized a frequent adult tendency to stimulate the child into "noisy motion," sim ply to keep him from "doing no thing." He said children, like adults need "time to assimilate, to sa- fvour, to digest." So far as so-called juvenile de linquency is concerned, the psy chiatrist believes some children misbehave because they just can't help themselves. Furthermore, he says the only difference between the delin quent and the non-delinquents in the degree of social maladaptation . . . or in getting caught ODOR" Special r.i!i; A tr renmzer Mppiicuiiun to Give You Exact Proportion for Lawn Nourish ment FISH' Phone 3-9517 Oils and Fertilizers Salem, Canby Students Win OSC Scholarships :' ,' . v;- n ; Y CORVALLIS Two Salem students at Oregon State College and one from Canby have been named winners of OSC Mothers Club scholarships for 1954-55.

Indochina (AV-Genevive de Glard Terraube Tuesday told the story of her two month ordel at Dien Bien Phu, and declared, "I only did my duty."

The blue-eyed brunette. 29. spoke calmly but feelingly of her work in caring for the wounded at the fal len fortress. She was flown into the fortress March 27 to supervise evacuation of wounded. Vietminh forces at tacked the air strip the next day and she could not leave. Her worst experience, as she worked in the underground cham bers that served as a hospital, came the nights of March 30 and 31. She related: "It was then that the Vietminh hurled over thousands of mortars and heavy artillery projectiles and there were hundreds of French wounded and so many dying. "Those big attacks in the second mass assault the Vietminh made upon the fortress caused so many casualties and it was the first time in my life that I had seen so many wounded at one time." "Today I feel a mixture of joy and a little sadness. Why? Because I am in Hanoi. Sadness because I was ordered to leave and I had to leave behind so many wounded and people who worked with me and who needed my help." Estimates of the French Union wounded at Dien Bien Phu ranged from 1,300 to 2,000. The Vietminh agreed to evacuation of 858. About two thirds of those have been re moved to date.
