Uiero appears to bo nowhere Hi the world any nrw llmt goes BANUI I'm Inclined to regard Unit is a good sign. I wUh we could have about 50 years nioro of such days. In England yealerdav. Prlmo Minister Churchill' Coiiaervallveii won the first leal of their election pledge to undo part of the previous I ebor government's nntlonnlita Hon program, They defeated bv a 34 vole margin a Lobor iwrtv riwnlutlon attacking DK-naltonall-lotion aa a "return to wanleful competition." The home of common then oopted a government motion to intum to private ownership the iiatlonallaed long-distance trucking induitrr. That meana that In England (for Hit moment, at Irani) thev are TURNINO AWAY from ooclnllam. In (hi country, we're still MOV INQ TOWAKU socialism. Our most decisive move toward toelaltm waa President Trumau'a Inure of the steel Industry when it refused to accept his government-ordered Increase In wage without an offsetting Increase In D rices If that had none ihrouuh. Its ultimate result would have been refusal on the part of Indlvldunls ti Invest anv more money In steel stocks. If private Investors won't buy steel securities there can be no more expansion In the steel Industry. We have to have steel, so the r.cxt move would have been NATIONALIZATION, with the gov ernment providing tile money for exnunslon and modernisation. That Is socialism. The iteel mess Is now In the courts. But whst the courts do won't In Itself stop our present trend. Thm can be atopiied only by electing a President end a con gress who are AGAINST socialism and will pass and ENFORCE laws Unit will 8TOP It. We'll know more about socialism In America after the fourth day ol next November. There's an Intriguing tale on the wires today about a $42-a-weck messenger handyman In Chlcnxo who wss big-hearted with mnnov. He liked to OIVE IT AWAY to people. lie gave 110,000 to a saloonkeeper whose lioute wasn't as good as It night have been. "Your kids will e their home better," he wild to the bar boss, "If you'll fix It up." To another friend, he shelled out $9,960 one day as a friendly ges ture. "You aren't well enough dressed." he snld to the guy. "Oo out and get yourself some good clothes." To another friend he gave 15,000 to liquidate the mortKnge on his home and to pay for an operation lie needed bndlv, Wonderful? Wo ought to huvc mure people like that? Well, there's a catch to It. It seems that he was tapping the boss' till - for the money. It came out when he was arrested that the total amount he had taken from the till for his philanthropies enme to $34,300. The boss dldn t share his em ployee's enthusiasm for philan thropy and appears to have squealed like a stuck pig when he found out what had been going on. I'd like to add a word here about this boss and his departed $34,300, Anjfbody as careless as that with the firm's money not only deserves to lose but ought to be hauled be fore a morals court nnd given a stiff sentence for CORRUPTING HIS EMPLOYEES by putting temptation In their way, A word more: Thin poor devil will probably bo sent to .tail for giving other peo ple's money away and we'll all applKtid. In our private affairs, wo don't like such things. If ho had boon a POLITICIAN, we'd probnbly send him back to congress or maybe elect him Pres ident for giving other peoplo's money away. We tho voters are an Inconsistent lot, aron't we?

Wash, tfl Trie ground was laid Friday for a thor ough-going battle between support ers of Oen. Elsenhower and Sen. Taft (R.Ohio) at Saturday's Re publican slate convention. The climactic battle to a series of county struggles start at 10 a.m. with bolh sides prepared to light bitterly and long for the state's 34 votes at the national convention In Chicago. Pre-conventlon figuring gives the majority to Elsenhower, with pos sibly 18 or more of the state s delegates likely to be pledged to him. UPSET An uDset could occur, however, that might make the race exceed ingly close or even marginally In favor of the Ohio senator. Most of the "If" revolves around the 303-msn delegation from King County (Seattle). This delegation nearly one-third of the W0 at the convention voted two weeks ago to be bound by the unit rule, with all voles going to cisennower. Taft forces have been sniping awav from all angles at this agree ment, hoping to pick up support lor their contention that this pro cedure Ja. undemocratic and Im proper. -.. -. r Elsenholirt'1cTtr'atdrnaisdiiT night they were hanging-tough and llgured to bold the strength to get the 16 plus votes at unicago. Taft leaders never have con ceded the general has that much strength and at times have claimed they had strength enough to con trol the convention. STRATEGY A number of Eastern Washington counties are to have a majority of Taft votes and they hope to com bine these with what Western Washington votes they can pet to control the convention. This in cludes the 136 votes Taft lesders say they should get from King County. No olficial count has been made of the delegate division, however, and Elsenhower groups say Tail has no where near that many King votes. A number of other counties are unknown quantities, being unpledg ed and uncounted. House Boosts Aid for Spain WASHINGTON Wl The House rejected Friday moves to deny military and economic aid to Spain and to cut deeper into economic help for Austria. Amendments to do these things were beaten by top-heavy votes as the house drove for a final vote on the administration's already-battered $7,900,000,000 foreign aid bill. Rep. Gross (R.-Iowa) proposed that the 35 millions set aside lor Spain be knocked out of the bill, friendly nation. A standing vote of 107 td defeated the amendment. A maximum of 43 millions in economic aid for Austria was pro posed by Rep. Curtis IR.-Mo.) and defeated by voice vote. Curtis told the House that without the limita tion, the Mutual Aid Program calls for 88 millions In aid to Austria. of the total cost Is posted bv the owners of the property Involved, the job Is ' scheduled. The 80 per cent requirement is a safeguard against too much money being owed the county for such road lobs at any one time, FUNDS The work Is paid for out of road department funds, and the depart ment Is reimbursed as the property owners pay off for their share of the cost. If not paid In cash, the assessment becomes a lien against the property and the County Court can foreclose for the amount of Its Hen after one year. The hard-aurfaclng jobs planned for this summer will have 20-foot oiled travclways with 30-foot road beds. A four-Inch oil surface Is to be put on an eight-Inch rock base. The road department also will rock in culvert for private driveways on the projeot. up to the property line, If the property owner furnishes Uie pips.

The Kremlin made Its protest in a note delivered by Foreign Minis- ? ter Andrei Y. Vlshlnsky Thurs- ! day to the Iranian ambassador here. It accused Iran, a Russian neigh bor on the south, of "cooperating; Implementation of the latter's ag- ; gresslve plans against the Soviet ' Union." ! Observers here consider it likely that, because of the Russian pro- t test. Iran will reconsider her ac- : ceptance of the U. S. aid and, i if she does not, the Soviets will follow up with another strong pro- i test. , 1 CUT OFF ' "' ' ' The American aid' to Iran was " cut off last January when Iran re fused to sign an agreement pledg ing to help increase "the defensive strength of the free world." The pledge Is required of those getting such aid under the U. 8. mutual security act. American military aid to Iran was ordered resumed month ago after an exchange of notes between the U.

Officials in Washington said Thursday that the U. S. aid to which Russia is objecting consists of military equipment and three American military training mis- x ions. . - , ; The U.

The Russians pro tested their presence about four years ago. The third unit, s military advisory group instructing the Iranians in the use of new weapons supplied them, has been there since 1950.
