Wilson Says War Danger May Grow In Coming Years Boston "P Defense Secre tary Charles E. Wilson said Wednesday night the danger of military conflict in the next few years may be increased unless the Communists abandon their idea of "conversion by the sword." Speaking at a $100-a-plate Re publican dinner, Wilson defen ded President Eisenhower's rec ord budget and pointed out that the military aid program is one of the nation's most important contributions to free world se curity. Danger May Increase "If the Communists are will ing to give up their idea of con version by the sword ... we should have no fears," Wilson said. "Until this is clearly dem onstrated in the world we must recognize that the danger of military action has not already lessened. In fact, it may well mean that over the next several years the danger may even be increased." Wilson added there is "reason to believe that the rise of Com munism has reached and passed its peak in spite of Mr. Khru shchev's recent forecast." Soviet Party chief Nikita S Khrushchev predicted over CBS television network last Sunday that the grandchildren of his American viewers "will live un der socialism." Counselors Help In Realty Problems Washington -IP How can the value of millions of acres of land be assessed as of 100 years ago? It belonged to the Indians then, but they 'lost- their claim in the surge of white settlers westward in 1858. The United States government finally has caught up with the problem and placed it in the hands of the American Society of Real Estate Counselors, an af filiate of the National Associa tion of Real Estate Boards. The ASREC was organized by NAREB in 1953 to help realtors entangle such knotty problems as: How does one decide the value of half an international bridge when the bridge is under five feet of water and the other half is owned by a foreign govern ment? How can the owner of a beau tiful tropical island in the Pacific develop it as a tourist attraction? How best could one plan the development of a potential in- ; dustrial area? Or what should be done with 'the old properties of a college ' which has moved to a new loca tion? These and other such puzzlers , have brought the U.S. govern ment and private concerns and individuals to the American So ciety of Real Estate Counselors for help and guidance. For a stip I ulated fee. the society diligently tackles all such real estate tan gles. DIESELS PREFERRED Chicago IP Locomotive Engineer E. C.

'Partial' Aid Pact With Poland Hinted Washington W The admin istration today considered sign ing a "partial" aid agreement with Communist Poland because of House delay in acting on a new crop surplus disposal bill.
