Rltland, vice com mander of the Western Develop ment Division' or the Air Research and Development Command, as he turned the first spadeful of earth. Aviation, as it enters its second 50 years, is moving swiftly into the field of intercontinental bal listic missiles, he pointed out. Gen. Ritland said the ballistic missile "will secure peace for the free world for years to come. "It is a deterrent to aggression and if aggression should come, it is a powerlul retaliatory weapon, he said. "Let us hope and pray that this weaoon will never have to be used." The Air Force has taken over 64,700 acres of the military re servation of deactivated Camp Cooke for its missile base. Camp Cooke was a troop-training center in World War II and the Korean conflict. The base lies between rolling hills and the ocean about 160 miles north of Los Angeles. Gen. Ritland said the primary purpose of the facility will be training Air Force officers and men to launch ballistic missiles such as the intercontinental Atlas and Titan and the intermediate Thor. Socialists in Bonn Ask for A-Arms Ban BONN W The opposition So cialists today asked the Bundes tag lo ban the stationing of atomic weapons in West Germany. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's Christian Democrats and their al lies presumably have enough Bundestag votes to defeat the So cialist motion. But it could force the govern ment parties to take a firm stand on an issue which has come in creasingly to the fore in the de veloping campaign for the gen eral election Sept. 15. The Adenauer government last week supported its NATO partners In agreeing that the Atlantic Al liance must have the most modern weapons at its disposal. But Aden auer has expressed hope that atomic armament will be made unnecessary by an international disarmament.' DOROTHY DIX COLUMN Forget Your Embarrassment, Call That Ardent Suitor DEAR DOROTHY DIX: A few months ago I was dining in a res taurant with some friends when an acquaintance of theirs came to our table. Evidently he was attracted to me, and wasted no time in learn ing my name and address. He phoned, we met. and in three dates he was becoming embarrassingly ardent. So, I told him not to come back. Silly me I thought I didn t like htm! Before he was off the front porch I regretted my hasty decision. How can I get him back?.

(UP) Young housewives usually merely com plain to their husbands about put ting in a bard day's work around the house cleaning, cooking, bath ing baby and washing diapers. diapers, diapers- and more dia pers. . But Mrs. Nancy Joyce Stoner. 20, mother of two, really got "fed up." It was diapers, diapers, dia pers all the time," she said. "I finally blew my top and did some thing about it." ' What she did broueht the fire departmenT and the sheriff's ar son squad racing to her home. Mrs. Stoner told authorities she set fire to seven piles of diapers and dirty clothes Wednesday on the floor of her home. The series of bonfires got rid of the clothes all right but could have destroyed the home. Quick action by fire men limited damage to $2,000. "My husband, Gene, , is a good provider, but he conies home, downs a can of beer, eats his sup per, plops into a chair and watches television til he goes to Weeks Won't Go to Japan TOKYO W Secretary of Com merce Weeks today canceled his plans to attend the 1957 Japan International Trade Fair May 15 18.

"That's all no appreciation. And I do diapers all day before he gets home." The blonde housewife said after she touched off the fires she put her two daughters, Dianna, 2 months old, and Deborah, 1, in the family car and drove to see her doctor -in nearby Anaheim. She said, "My doctor once told me I needed a vacation. But I can't afford one." The law took a dim view to ward Mrs. Stoner's method of showing her dislike for washing diapers. She was arraigned on ar son charges Thursday and re leased on $500 bail pending a pre liminary hearing next Thursday. Stoner, 31, construction worker, defended his wife's actions by saying, "I, didn't realize she had so much work around the house to do. I guess I found out the hard way." I Billy 'Graham'' N. Y.
