(UPB A Greek Orthodox archbishop said Monday night he did not doubt reports that an icon of the Madonna in a home here had shed real tears, even though he did not see tears forming when he examined the printed image. Archbishop Lakovos of the Greek Orthodox archdiocese of North and South America said ther appeared to be tear like stains on the inside of the glass that covers the litho graph of Mary. Hundreds of persons are said to have seen the icon weep. Mrs. Panagiotis Catsou nis, a 22-year-old seamstress who owns the lithograph, said . she saw the tears for the first time when she was praying before the icon Wednesday night. , Examines Picture Clocly "I do not think I can ex ; plain it," Archbishop Lakovos said, "but I cannot doubt it. It has happened before in Greece." He said he had taken the Mekiold Back From Association Meeting o Ccwnty School Superintend ent 41i B.

The Rev. George L. Papa deas, pastor of St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church here, said he had seen the weeping but that it apparently stopped after the Catsounis apartment was blessed Saturday. The icon incident recalled a terracotta statuette of the Madonna which was reported to have shed tears in 1953 in Syracuse, Sicily. The Vatican has given the reports sub stantial credence. ; The Syracuse Madonna, which stood over the bed of Mrs. Antonina Giusto Jannuso in a humble peasant cottage, was said to have started weep ing Aug. 29, 1953, while Mrs. Jannuso was in the pains of childbirth. Tears were reported to have flowed at intervals for five days, and doctors who an alyzed them said in a signed statement they contained the same chemical elements as human tears.

The closed-door meeting presumably will determine whether any modifications are needed in the turbo-prop plane if it is found that the disaster and a similar Electra crash in Texas last fall were caused by structural failure due to weather turbulence. Sixty-three persons were killed in the Tell City, Ind., accident and 34 died in the Buffalo, Tex crash. Speed Limited Today's session brought to gether officials of the FAA and the Civil Aeronautics Board and representatives of Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and the Allison Division of Gen eral Motors, makers of the Electra's engines. The FAA has ordered that the Electra be flown no faster than 316 miles an nour until the cause of the crashes is de termined. The plane normally cruises at about 400 miles an hour. Chairman A. S. Mike Mon roney (D-Okla.) of the Senate aviation subcommittee said preliminary evidence in the Tell City investigation ap peared to show disintegration of the Northwest Airlines plane in rough weather.

Americans Not Given Blame for Plight of Philippine Republic Editor's note: Reports of anti. Americanism in the PhiliDDines are out-of-focus and the Anurlrim r. siding in "Asia's showcase of democ racy are not altogether blameless, according to the following dispatch by t'PI's Philippines manager for the past three years. GLASS CO. 303 N. Bartlert SP 3-3613 I 2 By WILLIAM MILLER Manila - (UPD - Don't believe all you hear about "anti Americanism" in the Philip pines. It may not be like the so- called "good old days" when the natives came running as soon as the white man yelled "Boy!" But it is still one coun try where Americans are liked, admired and imitated. This young island republic, once dubbed "Asia's showcase of democracy," has serious problems. But one of them is not widespread, deeply-felt race hatred, "anti-Americanism" or anti-anything. Rich Get Richer It's true that the rich are getting richer while -the poor remain very poor. There is acute inflation, grinding un employment and poverty plus various charges of govern mental graft and corruption. Many Filipinos have some what less than enough to eat. . But, for the most part, Fili pinos don't blame the Ameri cans for these problems. The off-year elections in November proved again, as have previous elections, that race hatred is a hard commod ity to sell to Filipinos on elec tion day. Whatever animosity Fili pinos feel for "aliens" is cur rently directed to a great ex tent at the large and econ omically powerful overseas Chinese here. They number some 300,000 and control most of the food supply and much of the money. ' It is probably true that if a vocal group of nationalists, mostly centered in Manila, have their way, this animosity may eventually also engulf the dwindling American col ony in the Philippines. Uncertain Future But that is generally con sidered to be in the uncertain future. And if real "anti Americanism" does develop in the Philippines, it would hard ly be expected to reach the car - burning embassy - wreck ing, head-smashing stage ex perienced in some other areas. Most of the recent reports on U.S.-Philippines problems voiced by touring U.S. law makers, centered around the sprawling U.S. Air Force base at Clark Field, scene of a con siderable amount of looting and pilfering by Filipino thieves over the past several years. The Congressmen were bas ically right with their facts, but the picture got slightly out-of-focus. Far From Proud It is a situation that most Filipinos are far from proud 01, and iilipino defense au thorities took quick action after the first Washington ac counts hit the front pages here. The situation has report edly improved. On the other hand, how ever, Americans stationed in the Philippines are not entire ly blameless The fact remains that Clark Field, and the other U.S. bases in the islands, are. crammed with new cars, sprawling post exchanges and commissaries, J I Co nsider I 1. 1 first, a quiet non- I residential area I I jlLLaECT'PABK j-jl jjj North Phoenix Road Phone SP 3-6162 or SP 2-71 11 air conditioners, radios, TV sets and such. They will remain a tempta tion to the less fortunate Fil ipinos looking in from outside the guarded fences, many of them without jobs and some living on two meals daily of salt fish and rice. Some Lire Too High There will be more stealing and more shooting of pilferers and more controversy as a re sult. Considering the acute and bleak economic facts-of-life in the Philippines today, some of the American visitors live too high. And some do not set the best possible examples. Great amounts of American PJt. goods find their way into the booming black markets by devious routes. One of the most profitable businesses in the islands today for Ameri can servicemen and diplomats -as well as the' Filipino mid dlemen-is the mass selling of U.S. cars, TV sets, air con ditioners, washing machines and other such items, import ed tax-free at U.S. govern ment expense. Official Americans in the Philippines can, and some of them do, make as high as a 100 per cent profit on the sale of these items and some bring in two cars during their tour to increase the take. Basie Issues As for the official disagree ments between the Philippine and U.S. governments, they boil down to three basic is sues: -The long dispute over Fili pino demands for increased legal jurisdiction over U.S servicemen stationed in the Philippines. -The old matter of the Phil ippines' S800.000.000 "omni bus claims" against the U.S. resulting mostly from World War II. The U.S. has authoriz ed payment of a small amount and given a no answer on the rest. The Filipinos don't intend to take "no" for an answer. -And there is the old com plaint of the Filipinos against being taken for - granted by the U.S. - a debatable point which is, nevertheless, firmly believed in Manila. Observers here feel that this third complaint stands the best chance of being settled - possibly by a brief visit from President Eisenhower to Ma nila sometime in 1960. Salem-(UPD-The Oregon Hy droelectric commission voted to - postpone action on a li cense for Pacific Northwest Power company for construc tion of 690-foot High Moun tain Sheep dam on the Snake Washington -(UPD- The Fed eral Space Agency said that at midnigt (e.s.t.) the Pioneer V satellite was an estimated 1,529,632 miles from the earth. is still under study. ' His comment was prompted by inquiries about a United Press International story re porting that Russia's initial explanations of its latest offer have not convinced the Presi dent or his aides that it is acceptable. The story did not say the President 'tad made up his mind, but stated that he must in the next few days decide whether to accept or reject the new Soviet offer. Has No Quarrel Hagerty said he had no quarrel with the UPI story "except to say that I think the emphasis is a little wrong at this time." The Russians announced Saturday they would accept Eisenhower's Feb. 11 proposal to ban all nuclear weapons tests except small under ground blasts if it were ex tended to include a "mora torium" on the lesser explos ions, too, pending agreement on how to police these sub terranean shots of less than 20 kilotons. This, in , effect, took the President's plan and convert ed it back into the old Russian proposal for. a total ban ir respective of whether detec tion methods were adequate to police it.

"I'm one of the 25 thousand workers who build Rambler. Like most of us, I've worked in automobile plants prac tically all my life. That's why I can say that this sign above me is more than just a slogan on a factory wall. "We began to think and work this way about five years ago we know it helped make Rambler sales rise. We -know it's an important reason why we're working 24 hours a day, 6 days a week to fill your orders. "We're determined to keep building cars the way we would want them built for our own use. We think this is the way we can keep Rambler sales and v jobs going op and build our own future.'' Yes, it's the people on the line who make Rambler a better car . . . who do -the thousand and one little things it takes to finish a car right. It's the precise way they fit the doors . . . seal the vent windows . . . tailor the upholstery ... all as if they were going . to own the car themselves. Why Rambler sales break records American motorists want quality in the cars they buy. They've found it in Rambler. That's one reason why Ram bler has broken previous year sales rec , ords for 29 consecutive months. Rambler quality starts with 100 per cent Single-Unit construction. This year, many makes have followed Rambler's better construction because it is stronger, safer and lastingly quiet. But in copying Rambler, some cars have gone only halfway, ending their unit construction at the fire-wall. Others still use a few nuts and bolts, joining body to frame, instead of Ram bler's welded construction. Rambler quality, too, means Deep Dip rustproofing the entire body is submerged in primer paint. Most cars get only spraying no dip at all. Others get only a "tip-toe" dip along the bottom eighteen inches. Rambler gives you a better choice Rambler gives you the widest choice in the compact car field . . . 33 different models, including 17 station wagons. v Many people don't realize that there are three distinct classes of compact cars: small compact cars, all-purpose compact cars, and compact luxury cars. Only Rambler dealers sell them all. ' All of the new imitators are in the smaller car class competing with the Rambler American. Despite claims to the contrary, these cars do not have suf ficient shoulder room to ride six big men in comfort. The 108-inch wheelbase Rambler Six and Rebel V-8 are true all-purpose com pact cars. They have the big car room and comfort needed for six 6-footers. Yet they have the handling ease and economy of smaller cars. At the very top of the compact field is the 250 horsepower Ambassador V-8 by Rambler America's only compact lux ury car. The Ambassador offers luxury car performance, comfort, room and ap pointments plus the maneuverability of a compact car, yet costs hundreds of dollars less than other luxury cars. Rambler gives you more for less money Manufacturers suggested factory deliv ered prices prove Rambler the lowest priced U. S. car. It holds the postwar Mobilgas Econ omy Run records as well as NASCAR transcontinental economy records. And Rambler owners find repair costs are much lower because Rambler is built better. Insurance rates are less. According to official used car guides, Rambler has higher resale value. Ask any Rambler owner what Ram bler quality means in terms of real motoring enjoyment. Thee prove it to yourself. See and drive the 1960 Rambler at your Rambler Dealer's today. How Rambler's Basic Excellence Brings Yon Balanced Qualities of Usefulness Rambler is built to give the ideal balance of qualities most useful to you: Highest quality ideally balanced with lowest prices. Fine performance ideally bal anced with top economy. Big car comfort ideally balanced with small car handling ease. Greater strength ideally bal anced with less bulk. Plus smart modem styling.
