The Vermont chair reminds us of the one in that ancient song about "Granny's old arm chair."

Nine weeks of newspaper advertising is planned for some 25 major markets from coast to coast- There will also be at least two months of advertising in grocery trade publications. Radio and some tele vision will be used in about 15 markets in certain sections of the country. ' A field merchandising force of nine men will work in the markets and in addition an education program will be directed at schools, home economists and fpod editors all over the country. a a a a THE Pear Bureau,' in announcing the promotion campaign, said "Times to eat fresh pears and suggested uses" will be the theme of the consumer advertising program and it is expected that because more of the large metropolitan areas will be included in this year's drive a greater number of people than ever before will see and hear advertising for fresh western pears. E.C.F. ' " A Long Due Change ' At Ion? last the leading insurance comDames 0 0 A . . have come up with a reclassification plan for auto-0 mobile drivers. The action Will lighten tne rate load for pleasure car drivers, those least liable to be mixed up in accidents, and will put more . of the burden on young people, especially the young who are uninhibited by family supervision. Machines used for business remain classified as before with rates in that category the base for determining other rates. I TNDER the new set-up, which is to become ef- fective as soon as the schedules can be filed with authorities in the various states, the lowest rates -vill apply to those cars operated solely by adults for pleasure driving. Those driving less than ten miles on a one-way trip to work will pay slightly more. For those driving more than ten miles to work the rate steps up a bit. It Is estimated that fifty per' cent of passenger car drivers will receive lower liability insurance rates under the new schedules. AN interesting angle in the reshuffling is the break " ing down of young drivers into three groups, in stead of carrying them in a single category as hereto fore. The groups include those under 25 years of age living at home, childless married couples under 25, and young drivers with no family control. The young people living at home will enjoy a lower rate but those with no family, who are con sidered the worst risks of 1XHILE the underwriters are to be congratulated " on initiating the change, it is to be honed that they will go even further m breaking away from the loner obsolete present practice.

Montana Escapee Held in Portland Portland (U.R) Portland police today held an escapee from the Glasgow, Mont.; jail who was captured near the out skirts of Portland yesterday. Two detectives arrested 29-year-old Clarence. Dionne at the Alpenrose dairy where Dionne had been working. He was de scribed as armed and danger ous, but the detectives said he gave up without a struggle. Late last month Dionne's brother was captured by the FBI at Roseburg. The FBI had sought the pair on warrants from Glasgow charging unlawful flight to avoid prosecution on a burglary charge. The two brothers broke out of the Montana Jail last Feb ruary while awaiting trial for burglary of a ranch. Tuesday.

In his speech before the Am erican Legion, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles made Just such a commitment. He flatly declared that this country would go to war with Commun ist China, if the Chinese Com munists intervened in the Kor ean manner in the current fighting in Indo-China. "Big wars," said Dulles, "us ually come about by mistake, not by design . . . it Is . . . prob able that the Korean war would not have occurred if the aggres sor had known what the United States would do . . . There is the risk that as in Korea, Red China might send its own army into Indo-China. The Chinese Com munist regime should realize that such a second aggression could not occur without grave consequences which might not be confined to Indo-China. I say this soberly in the interest of peace and in the hope of prev enting another aggressor miscal culation." Maybe so little attention was paid to this remarkable pro nouncement because of the con ventional diplomatic language. What Dulles said must have been very clearly understood in Peking and Moscow. It was of ficially explained to Paris as meaning- that the Eisenhower administration meant - to fight Communist China under the conditions named by Dulles. But Dulles' words were not the plain words of American poli tics, and so almost nobody in this country paid serious atten tion to them, greatly, it must be added, to the surprise of Dulles who had expected his statement to provoke a storm of comment and controversy. The . Dulles statement, which was so much more significant than his much-discussed press conference, was only made, of course, after the most careful preparatory work. The policy announced by Dulles had been talked out In detail and heartily endorsed by the National Secur ity council. And although he had the President's and the Securi ty council's backing, Dulles thought the 'matter so impor tant that he drafted his Legion speech with his own hand. a ' a rpHE reasons for the statement were partly local and partly general. In brief, the local situ ation in Indo-China is now enter ing an extremely critical phase. On the one hand, the Korean truce has been the signal for a rather substantial reinforcement of the Chinese Communist arm ies centered on Harming, Just above the Indo-Chinese boarder. The French have always feared that If they made too much pro gress against the Indo-Chinese Communists, the Chinese would intervene to aid their brethren of the Viet Minh. This French fear is now more acute than ever. On the other hand, the new commander In Indo-China, the tough General Navarre, has been asking support in Paris for the kind of plan Washington has always hoped for a really ag gressive campaign to drive back and destroy the Viet-Minh army and guerillas. French Premier Laniel has finally approved the Navarre plan, but on two condi tions. ?he first condition was the committment made by Dulles before the American Legion. The second was a promise of substantial special aid from this country perhaps as much as $400,000,000 to pay for creat ing Indo-Chinese anti-Commun-. ist forces on the scale of the South Korean army so success- tfully organized by this country. Navarre must nave these native forces and probably some extra French forces in order to carry out his plan. - . The Indo-Chinese Commun ists, who are benefitting by the long delay In approving the Na . fiy KoiamS Cot a spaee suit, do you think you that this is Just a short tripT" varre plan, are already going over to the offensive, even be fore the end of the rains opens the customary fighting season in Indo-China. Navarre is organ ising his own offensive as rapid ly as possible. In these circum stances, with the Chinese Com munists reinforcing at Nannlng, and many French political lead ers grumbling that the whole Indo-Chinese venture Ought to be abandoned, critical is a rath er' mild word for the new phase. Fortunately, local effect of the DuUes statement must be to render Chinese Communist intervention in Indo-China much less likely. Peking has reiter ated its stand that the Chinese will never cease to support their brethren of the Viet-Minh. The Indo-Chinese Communists are being importantly and increas ingly aided with arms and In other ways already. But the bet ting is pretty heavy that Peking will not wish to take the furth er step of open intervention, which would lad in turn to Am erican action under the Dulles doctrine. a ., a a MORE generally, the Dulles statement is extremely sig nificant precisely because It does foreshadow a doctrine of storts that has now been evolved by the President, the Secretary of State, and other administra tion leaders like, the new chair man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Arthur Radford. The meaning of the doctrine is indicated by the Dulles re mark about big wars generally starting by mistake. The new administration's aim is to make it perfectly clear to both Pek ing and Moscow that we shall fight and fight moreover without artificial limits If any more borders are aggres sively crossed. In the nervous world, this stand may not.be popular everywhere. But it is likely to be healthy in its re sults. Copyright X9S3, New York Herald Tribune Inc.

Italy began It last week when, the said, she heard the Tito government was planning to walk into Trieste and take over a part of it WHAT'S Trieste? " The city of Trieste, strate gical located at the head of the Adriatic sea, where water and rail transportation meet, was for 600 years a part of Austria. When the Austrian empire was dismem bered and its bones picked clean in the Peace of Versailles, after World War L Trieste was given to Italy.. Italy held if until after World War II. Then because Italy-had been a bad boy and teamed up with Hitler to make war on us we took Trieste away from her and made it a free territory under the control of the UN se curity council. We split it. in two, and gave the running of half of it to Yugoslavia, whom we were then patting on the back because of her successful underground resistance to Germany. We and the British ran the other half. THAT went on until we and the British got tired of keep ing 5,000 troops each in Trieste. We then Yugoslavia, having meanwhile gone communist de livered ourselves of an opinion to the effect that Trieste ought to go back to Italy. At that, Yugo slavia raised the warwhoop and said vehemently she'd NEVER stand for it Since then, Trieste has been the kind of No Man's Land that, history tells us, almost invariably provokes international trouble. The inevitable trouble seems to be starting now. rVE gone into this at consider able length because it is an admirable illustration of what happens when international gath erings such as the Congress of Vienna and the Versailles confer ence and the Yalta conference and now the United Nations in the case of Korea proceed to carve up the world and reshuffle its component parts. In the clear light of history, these affairs seem nearly always to sow the seeds that sprout into future wars. And each new war seems to be bigger and bloodier than thl last one. - Obsfefrcan Completes Citss Game in Hotpltal San Jose, Calif. flj.ft) A rarely-used obstetrical gambit mov ed Dr. D. N.
