Cease Fire Proposal
To End China Eluckys
Dist-i ncS- Possibility
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The week's good and bad news
on the ; international balance
sheet: .. -'-i ' -:-'''-'
THE GOOD
1. A suggestion for
fire" agreement to end the small
but dangerous war between the
Chinese Nationalists and the
Chinese Communists suddenly
hardened into a distinct possi
bility. President Eisenhower said
at a press conference that he
would like to see the United Na
tions work out such , an agree
ment. It was disclosed . that the
United States and Great Britain
already ' had consulted on the
possibly of U. N. action. Under
the suggested ; agreement, .: the
Chinese Reds would agree not to
attack the Nationalist strong
hold "of " Formosa" and the Na
tionalists would be kept from
attacking ; the Red-held main
land.. The difficulty of reaching
an.' agreement would be great
but if one were reached, the
grave danger that the present
Nationalist - Communist fighting
might explode into a major war
would be ended.
2. Scientists of seven nations
including Soviet Russia met at
U.N. headquarters in New. York
to start preparations for. a world
technical conference next sum
mer on President Eisenhower's
plan , to utilize nuclear energy
for peaceful purposes.: The scien
tists decided the conference
should be held in Geneva, Switz
erland, and drafted a tentative
program for it. ::,'- ". '"
3.. Soviet Hussia zreea an
American Army private, Wil
liam A.-Verdine, after holding
him as a slave laborer for nearly
six years. Verdine had disap
peared from ; his unit ;in . West
Germany Feb. 3, 1949. The Rus
sians had- released previously
two other Americans whom they
had held. It was indicated that
stiU other Americans . whom .the
Russians kept prisoner might be
freed also.

gPEAKING nationally ; V
Democratic Senator . Harry
Byrd of - Virginia calls on the
Eisenhower I adninistration to
cut - planned spending by four
per -cent and balance the budget.
An overall four per .cent reduce
tion in spending, he points out,
would cut. the budget by about
two and a half billion dollars,
which would be enough to en
able the federal government to
operate in the black for the first
time since 1951.
He adds:
' "We are enjoying the greatest
prosperity in our history. We are
not in a war. If we can not bal
ance the budget . now, I ask
WHEN CAN WE BALANCE
IT?"

OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK President Eisenhower observes the end of his first two yesn
in the White House with the first filmed presidential news conference in history and
an optimistic outlook for the world. The President said, that the U. S. does not regard

Is That So?
By Eugene Burnt
. - Rangir-Naturalist
-. "Say, ranger, if you think you
get a lot of questions thrown at
you, you ought to have a set of
twin boys growing up," writes
Mrs. R.E.G. "Here's a sample:
"Mommy, how tall can a man
grow?' and then his twin pops
up with, How short can a. man
stay?' Before I can think of an
evasive answer, the first comes
in with: .'About how skinny can
a man get?' but by that time I'
am trying to outguess the other
twin's question: f 'How fat?
Then' they .want to know how
far he can jump, how high in
comparison to animals."
To 'begin with, the best I can
find on a man's height is' this
from an article in True by James
Adams:' Geoffrey H u'd s o n, an
Englishman, who .1 ived from
1619 to 1682 was probably the
smallest adult .who evert lived.
At 30, he measured slightly less
than' 18 inches, :. .:Vy" -
In contrast, Patrick Cotter, an
Irishman who lived more than a
century ago, stood 8 feet 4 inches
in his socks no elevator shoes
as have some of today's modern
giants, although his shoes meas
ured 18 inches long.'
For human ' weight, perhaps
the all-time spindleshank was
Hopkm Hopkins,- a Welsh lad,
who lived to be 17.-; He tipped
the scale at 17 pounds at 14, and
then fell off to 12 pounds from
that time on until his death three
years later. . -:
His opposite, a North Caro
linan of the 1700s, is said to have
weighed more than 1,000 pounds.
His name is, now lost but there
are records to substantiate his
size. He stood 7 feet 8 inches and
was very likely the heaviest man
who ever lived. -.
World's Jumping Record
As for jumping, the world's
record broad jump is 26 feet and
8V inches made by Jesse Owens
of the U.S., May 1935, but there
are several animals that can
jump farther. These include the
horse at 27 feet, the elk at 28,
the cougar at 38, the impala at
40, and the white 'tailed. deer,
also at 40 feet.
As for height, Les Steers of
the U.S. jumped 6 feet 11 inches
in Los Angeles, June 1941. Quite
a number of animals can out-
jump him handily. In fact, the
jackrabbit has cleared . 7 feet,
the mule deer, 8, along with the
lion, lynx and leopard; the horse
has cleared 8 feet 6 inches; the
American elk, 9 feet; . but the
all-time record goes to the little
African klipspringer. This little
fellow is credited with a high
jump in excess of 20 feet. And,

By ROGER W. BABSON , !
Babson Park, Mass. (Special
to Mail Tribune) Do you hope
you will be, able to send your
children to college sometime be
tween now and 1964? If you ex
pect them to get a sound educa
tion, and you V to get ? your
money's worth;- much ' must be
done. Both teachers' salaries and
their efficiency (which is now
comparatively low) must be in
creased. Fifty years ago, only - about
four per cent of "the youth of
collage, age were able to go to
college. Two
great events on
our . national
scene boosted
-enrollments
sharply - the
depression and
the g:h BiU.
Prewar' about
15 per cent of
our youth ,'ot
college age at
i
.Bor w. BafeMSj
tended such schools.
Between
1945-49 a Udle better than 25
per cent were Enrolled. Then.
the number shrank1 during 1950-
52. Chiefly responsible for this
drop, was the fewer .number of
births in the 1930-35 depression.
But, 1952 saw a 1.5 per cent
increase in college enrollments
over, 1951; and 1953 rose 4.8 per
cent over 1952, so that again
about 25 per, .cent of ..our youth
.of eligible age were in college.
io 1 ail enroiimenis prooaoiy
registered a .6-8 , per cent .in
crease.' . ;: ,
College. Enrollment i : v
If you project to 1970 the num
ber of children already . born,
you will have 'a 16 per. cent in
crease in the youth - of college
age by 1960, a 46 per cent in
crease by 1965, and a 70 per cent
increase by 1970. And if an in
creasing percentage of our youth
of college age go on to college,
enrollments could double ' by
1970. ' vi
The above is based on the as
sumption that we shall continue
to make more educational oppor
tunities available for. our youth,
a we always have.' Educators
claim that by 1970 a good third
of our' young people o . college
age may enroll. This would jnore
than double student bodies, and
perhaps require double the num
ber of teachers and much more
classroom space. Personally, I
believe this is like forecasting
500 for the Industrial Stock
Average. I question such figures.

Society Can Prosper ' '
With Adequate 'Schooling '
If . we want capable teachers,
we shall have to pay wages com
petitive enough to encourage

adequate : schooling for ' our.
youth, with a moderate tax rate.

leaders must provide far. more
efficient methods of learning by
doubling the use of present fa
cilities. What industry could sur
vive in this competitive era with
its factories being iaed only six
