How to handle - commies -note: FBI agents have arrested ten members of the Puerto Rican com fiunist party on charges ot seek---ng violent overthrow of the gov ernment. Nine of the arrests were made in Puerto .Rico and one was arrested in New York. Of the nine arrested In Puerto Rico one was . a Moscow-trained communist. FBI Chief Hoover says the ar- rests will cripple the red appa ratus in Puerto Rico. i I can't help thinking that is a better way to handle the com munist menace than holding hear ings and testing druiiu (and chests) and passing laws to make communism illegal all with a weather eye on the votes that may oe garnered in the process. As to the problem of handling communists in government, here is a pretty good solution: 1. Don't hire 'em in the first place. 2. If. In spite of all your pre cautions, one does sneak oast and get on the payroll, FIRE HIM as soon as you have good reason to suspect that he isn't a good, loyal American. After all, you know, working for our government isn't a RIGHT. it is a PRIVILEGE. England's Eden and our Dulles arrive in Paris this mornuig to see if they can talk France out of her ingrained fear that Germany is a greater danger than Russia Just before he left London, Queen Elizabeth made Eden a Knight of the Garter in an an cient 15-mlnute teremony in Buck ingham palace.Ahe queen touched him lightly on fcoth shoulders with a sword and ssid: "Arise, Sir An thony." - Foreign Secretary Eden now Joins Prime Minister Churchill in England s oldest order of chivalry an order that dates back to the 1300's and King Edward III. (It gives him the title of "Sir, and gives bis wife the title of "Lady.") According to popular legend In England, The Most Noble Order of the Garter originated at a court ball back in the 1340 s. Tne tale goes that Joan. Countess of Sal Isbury (Sawlsbry, the English pro nounce it) was doing a lively dance (though probably not lively as the dances current in our day) when she slipped her garter. King Edward picked the frarter up from the floor and gallantly diverted the attention of the guests Irom the discomfited lady by bind ing the blue band around his own knee and saying as he did so: "Honl soit qui mal y pense" (Shame on him who evil thinks.) How come that an English king sDoke thus in French? It's perfectly simple. When Ed-, ward III did his Boy Scout deed for Lady Salisbury, it was some what less than three centuries aft er the bold Duke of Normandy had vanquished the Saxons ana con quered England. French was then the official language ot we eng. llsh court. Come to think of 11, it might be a good idea for Eden to say to stubborn Mendes-France in the ne gotiations that are coming up in Paris: "You must remember, sir, that YOUR COUNTRY conquered and overran MY COUNTRY long be fore the Germans conquered and overran your country. "You have no better historic reason to hate and fear the Ger mans than we have to hale and fear the French. Let's both be REASONABLE about this business of ancient hates and fears."

Approximately 39,000 men half Britain's waterfront working force were out at London, Liverpool, Birkenhead, Hull and Southampton. Some union leaders striving to get the men back to work say the strike is being fomented by Com munists. Prime Minister Churchill's Cab inet may decide later today to use troops to unload ships particular ly those with cargoes of meat, but ter, eggs and fruit li tne men don't return to work by Saturday. These vital cargoes are beginning to rot in the ships. The strike picture by ports: London 26,000 men out, includ ing 4,500 tug and bargemen. Com plete paralysis of the port. Liverpool 8,000 out and 5,000 working. Birkenhead Entire force of 1, 000 out. Hull 2,000 out. Southampton Situation still flu id but nearly 1,000 men either re fused to report to work this morn ing or walked off ships being worked. A snap meeting called by unof ficial leaders spread the strike to Southampton this morning after dockers there voted overwhelming ly at a meeting last night to stay on the lob. About 700 workmen met near the dock labor board office this morning and a self-appointed lead er shouted, "All who want to go out step over to the left." When about two thirds of those present complied, the leader shouted, Right, wo are on strike. Anotner meeting here tomorrow morning." Word of this meeting spreaa quickly to the piers and ships where men already were at wors. Shopkeepers predicted severe food shortages, especially of meat, butter and eggs, unless the 17-day-oid walkout is ended by Saturday, The stoppage is holding up 200 mil lion dollars worth of exports and imports and poses a serious threat to Britain s whole economy.

The dav was dark and damp. Fog shrouded many of the higher areas of the rugged, timbered mountain country where Zeiszler, his wile and her 14-year-old son vanished. Maj. Gen. Thomas E. Rilea or dered the tank company of the 162nd Infantry Regiment of Dallas into the search at the request of Sheriff Tony Neufeldt and Mayor Hollls S. Smith. The searchers headed into the woods at 7 a. m. Aside from three spaced shots reported heard Monday, there has been no substantial clue since the Zeiszler car was found last week. It is in the area where the shots were reported, some two miles from where the car was found, that Wednesday's search was con-centrated. vmvrm?iM:wiwmmMM nmtmiKmfMwm wwwtwMtminvM'WVQ r . . , j J i ''C-5 ..$'. ; s - ... -1 fVHW- 1 itSfpy !

Lang- er (R-ND) sMd Wednesday the controversial Dixon-Yates power contract may take the spotlight away from the McCarthy censure Issue In the Senate session open ing Nov. 8. - The North Dakota senator is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and head of its ntl monopoly subcommittee, which has been investigating the Dixon- Yates proposal to feed private power into lines of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Describing himself as a "bitter opponent" of the proposed con tract. Langer said in an Inter view that fullblown debate on it 1b likely to come when the Sen ate meets to decide whether Sen, McCarthy (R-Wis) should be cen sured. "In my opinion," Langer said, "The McCarthy censure Is sue will shrink into insignificance in the fight to prevent a few pri vate utility comnanies irom get ting a monopoly ot tne electric lates In Southern states, "It will be a knockdown, drag out fight, I intend to speak on Dixon-Yates.

Under the Dixon - Yates con tract ordered by President Elsen hower, the Atomic Energy Com mission would buy power from a private utility group for delivery to the TVA at Memphis, Tenn, This power, to be supplied by a 107-milllon-dollar plant to be built at West Memphis, Ark., would be used by TVA to replace a like amount of power TVA supplies to atomlo installations. Critics have contended the pri vate power will cost the govern ment more than would the same electricity If supplied by TVA. They argue also that the contract may be the entering wedge in a campaign aimed at destroying TVA. The Elsenhower administration, on the other hand, says the pro posal is a reasonable and practi cal way of supplying needed pow er to the area, and that It will af ford time to restudy the future role of TVA. The Council of State Chambcm of Commerce, which represents 31 state and regional chambers, made public Tuesday night a statement saying the Dixon-Yates contract "would tend to keep TVA within its own area, and that Is what concerns the public pow er advocates." .t,.- ;'V, V l;vt - TWO WINEMA HOTEL employos, Joyce Clarkion, cashier and Petty Migliaccio, desk clerk imile for 4ha early morning photographer this morning, j .

Tne meeting' took place In the palace which serves as the head quarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Dulles, arriving earlier by plane from Washington for a series ot meetings expected to enlist a re armed West Germany both as a member of a revived Brussels treaty and NATp, called upon Al lied leaders to transform "the hopes of London" into "the real. ltics of Paris." Ih a brief statement at Orly Air field, the secretary cited the "vast network of Interrelated problems incidents to the restoration of German sovereignty, the Joining together of West Europe for a measured defense and the solid ification of NATO." Thursday Dulles will attend a nine-power conference to amend ' the Brussels treaty, and on Frl day, with other members of the NATO council, will vote on West- ern Germany as the 15th, NATO member, The secretary described this se ries of meetings as "of decisive importance from the stand point of peace, security and freedom In Europe." He added: - "At the recent London confer ence Important decisions . were taken as to how these problems' should be resolved.
