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

'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.
Administration ollicials said
they are attempting to learn how
lung the delay is expected to con
tinue. They said if it is likely In be
prolonged "it is conceivable"
that a partial agreement will be
signed.
Polish Communist Party boss
Wladyslaw Gomulka at Poznan
expressed disappointment over
American delays in granting the
aid.
