Tragic Memory
Fairfield, Calif. (UPB The
memory of an unforgettable
tragedy is perhaps a bit dim
mer today for Ralph and
Betty Bryor.
. The couple's five children,
aged one to five, were burned
to death Dec. 14 when fire
swept their home. Mrs. Pryor,
22, was burned seriously in a
vain rescue' attempt. She is
still hospitalized.
But she will return to a
bright new apartment.
Donations from the Military
Air Transport Department at
Travis Air Force Base totaled
$600 yesterday; Another $600
was contributed by men of the
Strategic Air Command.
A captain paid the first
month's rent on the apart

horses. The sign said simply
"Ike peace."
These signs and slogans,
some of them inspired by the
local government, some
straight from the people, tell
pretty well what Eisenhower
set out to do on his trip.
Worth the Effort
They tell, too, why he re
turned home Tuesday night
dog tired but happily con
vinced that more than 22,000
miles of grueling travel and
constant speaking were well
worth the effort.
, These two UPI reporters
who traveled the full circuit
with the President came home
decidedly weary, jaded some
what by one colorful mob

without some personal views
on what Eisenhower may
have accomplished, and on
possible plus' and minus fac

Six Inches of Snow

and listening to Eisenhower
drum on the theme of "peace
and friendship in freedom,"
here is how we sum up the
results:
HENSLEY - "The d i p 1 o
matic peaks of the President's
frighteningly long tour to sell
the United States and peace
came at opposite geographical
sectors of the journey - in In
dia and later at the Western
.summit conference in Paris.
"In India, Eisenhower's
peace appeal seemed really to
reach-the heartstrings of the
restless and impoverished mil
lions who turned, out to squat
in bis presence and absorb the
atmosphere of a. man they
called The American King.
The Indian people showered
him with adultation wherever
he went.
"And, more specifically In
the world of diplomacy; the
President and the.. neutralist
prime minister of India, Jawa
harlal Nehru, thanks in part
to the truculence of the Chi
nese Reds, apparently reached
Two Persons Burned
In Ike's Welcome
Washington - (CPU - Two
well r wishers suffered minor
burns from the yard r long
sparklers used in the glitter
ing torchlight display for
President Eisenhower Tues
day night.
Red Cross officials said the
victims were treated with'
burn ointment in a first aid
truck and released. One was
burned on the cheek, the other
on the neck
City officials went ahead
with the display in Lafayette
Park across the street from
the White House despite a
warning from the National
Fire Protection association
that the three-foot sparklers
were "illegal and dangerous."
STRIPPED OF COSTUMES
Brawley, Calif. ffiPD- Night

day she expected doing her
act would be "kind of incon
venient" for a while. She said
her costumes were stolen
from her dressing room.
much closer understanding on
international affairs.
"As for the Western summit
meeting in Paris, we won't
know for some time just how
much the conference pushed
back the threshhold of Com
munist threats and expansion.
The Western Big Four decis
ion to invite Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev to an April
27 meeting in the French capi
tal was .a source of consider
able satisfaction to Eisenhow
er...; "His visits to the .other coun
tries, along the route were
highly important locally, but
in retrospect they seemed to
have been largely matters of
back-slapping and listening to
cautious explorations into the
field of American aid."
: SMITH - "It was a most,
difficult trip to appraise, par
ticularly when -we had to: do
itfom the middle of a howl
ing crowd or while ' looking
at scenes of Asiatic splendor
like the Taj Mahal or the pal
ace lancers in New Delhi.
Trip Big Success
"My feeling is that from the
standpoint of foreign mass
consumption, the Eisenhower
trip was a big success. Sure,
some of the crowds were
manufactured, but a lot of
them were not. No matter
how Eisenhower's motives and
accomplishments may be ar
gued, it is undeniable that
millions of people on three
continents turned out to cheer
him. '
"Not at any time -in his
career has he been praised so
highly in public' .
"It seems logical that when
millions turn out to cheer an
American president in foreign
lands, the United States as a
whole benefits.
"With this adultation, how
ever, comes responsibility and
expectation. The cheers of to
day can turn awfully sour if
those doing the cheering are
led to expect something in
return - and then don't get it.
"To keep some of this pro
American sentiment in flower
undoubtedly will require the
help of Congress. And there
is reason to doubt the Presi
dent will get any unusual sup
port from a Democratic Con
gress in a national election
year." ' . ' "

Unfair labor
Practice Charges
Filed in Portland
Portland - a?. - Unfair la
bor practice charges were
filed here Tuesday by the
striking Stereotyperg Union
against the Oregon ian and the
Oregon Journal on grounds
the newspapers had refused to
bargain in good faith on a
new work contract.:- .
The charges were filed with ;
the National Labor Relations
Board by Union Attorney Don
Richardson. The union has
been on strike against the two
newspapers since Nov. 10. ,
The union charged that
during the strike the publish
ers have relied on strike insur
ance benefits to recruit out
side personnel to replace the
striking workers and to col
laborate in the publication of
a joint newspaper. The union
contended that such a use of
strike insurance has deprived
the union members of their
rights as guaranteed by . the
National Labor Relations Act.
A spokesman for the Ore
gon Journal and the Oregon
ian said that the charge was
"a frivolous one and made in
no more good faith than has
characterized the union's ne
gotiations throughout. The
exact equivalent would be a
charge that the union had bar
gained in bad faith because it
is accepting 6trike benefits
from the international."
