Chance (or Peace
Better Than War,
Romulo Decides
Manila (U.R) President Car
los P. 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.
"The people were so grateful
they named a street after him and
have erected a monument to
him," Tudela said.
'Blowing Off Steam'
Ends Family Dispute
Cleveland. O. (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. (U.R) This
Deleware river community of
6,000 is going "all out" on plans
to restore the town to the full
glory of colonial days when New
Castle was in important ship
ping center. It already has as
many physicaly aspects of col
onial life as any town in the na
tion. 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.

Army Depot Blaze
Causes $200,(
Loss in New York
Voorheesville, N. Y., June 17
U.R) A stubborn blnze swept
through a large warehouse at
the U. S. army depot here and
damaged another at an esti
mated loss of $300,000.
Fire companies from six near
by cities and communities
brought the flames under con
trol after a three-hour battle.
The blaze, accompanied by
several explosions, burned a sec
tion of the steel and brick ware
house No. 5, containing general
army stocks, oil drums and
quantities of small ammunition.
Cause of the blaze was not
determined, firemen said. Ob
servers said they heard the ex
plosions and saw huge clouds of
black smoke curl up from as far
away as five miles. Flames leap
ed six to 10 times taller than
the buildings. A fire-wall pre
vented the flames from spread
ing to other parts of the ware
house. A strong wind which whipped
the flames suddenly changed and
helped keep the fire from spread
ing. One fireman was Injured bat
tling the blaze.
