WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington OI.R) The brighter side, if any, of the Big Four foreign ministers confer ence is that it should strengthen the Western al liance against Communist ag gression. It is not w h i stling in the dark to re port that the United States stands to gain a bit, even if the conference Lyle C. Wilson fails. Some important facts became lost or mislaid in the pleasant atmos phere which enveloped last July's summit conference. One of these facts was that the United States had agreed only reluctantly to the summit meeting in the first place. President Eisenhower had only "faint hope" a Big, Four meeting would be useful when he was questioned at his March 23 news conference. He said no such meeting was even in the planning stage. Five days later the President was saying he could foresee "many dangers" in a high level Big Four meeting. But he al ready had been prodded by Brit ish Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden to half-way agreement on a summit conference. West Opens Discussions The State Department on March 28 confirmed Eden's an nouncement that the United States, Great Britain and France had begun discussion of arrange- mets for a possible Big tour meeting. Thereafter, Mr. Eisen hower began to warm to the idea. He had worked up a mod erate optimism enplaning for Geneva. Seretary of State John Foster Dulles had no cheers for the pro ject. But he and Mr. Eisen hower went along because French and British voters were beginning to demand loud and angrily that their respective gov ernments get together with the Soviets and call off the cold war. Moreover, Eden and his Conservative Party were going into a critical general election campaign. Party Leader Clement Attlee opened the British Socialist gen eral election campaign May 7 with complaint that Eden's Con servative government was mov ing too slowly 'toward a meeting with the Soviets. Attlee prom ised that the Socialists, if re turned to power, would act quickly. Fear Separate Meetings Such pressures obtained United States agreement to a Big Four conference at the sum mit. There was anxiety in Wash ington that France or Great Britain, or both, might meet with the Russians alone if the United States balked. And, more, there was the very ob vious fact that U. S. agreement to a Big Four meeting would enable Eden to answer Attlee and, likely keep the ' Conserva tives in and the Socialists out of power. Mr. Eisenhower does not care for socialism. Now the Big Four summit meeting is being cut down to size by the foreign ministers meeting to which ,it gave birth. The United States position is that Washington is doing every thing it can to obtain success at Geneva and that a failure there must be the Soviet Union's responsibility. ? If Geneva is a failure, U. S. diplomats feel it will be up to London and Paris to repose fu ture faith and hope in a strong Western alliance against Com munist aggression instead of seeking safety at the conference table. ' That would continue to be the United States position until Moscow offered more than a mere smile as proof of good intentions. Capt. Townsend Returns To Exile on Continent Lydd, England. ;U.R) Group Capt. Peter Townsend, rejected in love and ruined in his court career, quietly boarded a cross channel airplane today and Vew back into European exile. Townsend left England in si lence without seeing Princess Margaret again. She announced five days ago that she could not marry him. Program Outlined For Presbyterians A program has been under taken by the congregation of the First Presbyterian church which if accomplished will mean that the Medford institution will be come an honor church. Only 60 churches in the entire denomina tion of 8.500 churches, are honor churches. ' At a recent meeting of the con gregation a "fifty-fifty" budget was adopted as a goal for the year 1956. This means that a dollar will be given for benevo lences to local and world-wide causes for every dollar spent on local expenses. Giving benevolences has risen approximately 10 times in the last five years and the Medford church is undertaking projects in more than 30 countries all around the world.

Physician Charges Automobile Makers Ignoring Safety Chicago (U.R) A Califor nia physician has charged auto mobile manufacturers with fail ing to make needed safety im provements because they are "governed" by their financial department. Dr. C. Hunter Shelden of Pasadena said in the current ! issue of the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association that pressure is developing to bring about safety improvements, but at the present there is "much smoke but no fire." He said that engineers have supplied valuable safety ideas, but they have only limited use because the auto industry "ap parently is governed entirely by the cost accounting division." No new idea can be adopted un less it reduces present costs or promises better sales, he said. Shelden said that head and neck injuries account for nearly 70 per cent of all auto accident deaths. Seat construction in autos is "a disgrace to the auto mobile industry," he said. They should be built so they would not fly around in an accident, causing thousands of "whiplash injuries,' Shelden urged. Shelden also suggested there should be a small elevated por tion of the seat behind the head, high enough to give the head support if the neck is suddenly snapped back. WELL DONE Flemingsburg, Ky.
