Romulo of the United Nations general assembly made up a "balance sheet" on the prospects for war or peace, and decided that the chances for , peace were better. The usually optimistic Filipino diplomat admitted, on his re cent return from Lake buccess, that the score was close. But. he said, he is banking on the fact that most p e o p le want peace and are working hard to preserve it. Romulo's own outline of forces for war or peace follows: 1. Continuation of the cold war. with accompanying arma ment1! race, formation and strengthening of hostile allian ces, and indulgence in aggressive moves and postures. 2. Failure of the great powers (mainly as a consequence of the cold war) to settle such unre solved issues as peace treaties for Germany, Austria and Japan, final disposition of Trieste, and unification of Korea. Chinese Problem 3. The China issue, over which the great powers are split and which has caused partial par alysis of the UN. The China problem also deeply perturbs Asia. , , 4. Conflicts caused by efforts to restore or maintain colonial control, typified by the situation in Indo-China. 5. Widespread economic dis tress aggravated by political con flicts which hamper remedial efforts and promote trade war Instead of essential economic collaboration among nations. 6. deliberate and systematic exploitation of local or national 4 conflicts In attempts by some powers to gain world domination.

Widow in Peru Does Well on $27 Monthly Memphis, Tenn.(U.R) One sur viving pensioner of the Civil War is the 99-year-old widow of the famous diplomat La Pointe, who later became American con sul in Peru. As a widow of an American war veteran, she receives about $27 a month. Because of a favor able Peruvian rate of exchange at 20 soles to the dollar, she finds it to be an adequate income. Her grandson, Oswald Tudela of Lima, Peru, said during a visit here that "she lives well on it and even gives some to her fam ily. La Pointe, a native of Boston, won acclaim in Peru for boldly raising an American flag over a mill to prevent posible slaught er of its occupants by an invad ing army from Chile in 1879.

(U.R) A new method of handling family as sault and battery cases here has reduced the number by 30 per cent. Municipal Judge Lillian M. Westropp reported after a six week trial of the idea. The "new deal" in domestic relations involves turning over complaints to a social worker, Harry S. Gilman, who says he just gives the disputants a "chance to blow off steam." It has been found particularly ef fective in husband vs. wife situa tions. Judge Westropp said that of the last 48 cases Gilman handled only one warrant has been re quested. . .... .. "That's how it should be," Judge Westropp said, "since a criminal court is no place for family disputes." Town to Restore Colonial Charm New Castle, Del.

A committee of leading citi ziens formed Historic New Cas tle, Inc., a group which wants to remove any historically false adornments of additions for some 150 old buildings in the heart of town. Many of the structures have retained much of their 1680-1830 style of architecture. Some persons already have started to change the old dwel lings and places of business to their original appearance. They are guided by a report by the Boston architectural firm of Per ry. Shaw and Hepburn, the con cern which handled the restora tion of colonial Williamsburg, Va. One of the biggest restoration jobs is the 243-year-old Presby terian church building. The task will cost $70,000. Eugene Man To Face Kidnap, Theft Count St. Paul.
