Foreign aflairs:
Russian and Western scientists
will meet in Geneva tomorrow
(Tuesday I to begin talks on meth
ods of policing a possible nuclear
test ban.
The reds have confirmed that
they WILL TAKE PART IN THE
TALKS.
Hmmmmmm.
The reds had said only a few
days before that they WOULDN'T
take part in the Geneva talks un
less the United States agreed be
forehand to stop its own testing of
nuclear weapons.
The U.S. refused flatly to enter
Into any such agreement.
The moral?
Aaron Hill, an English poet who
lived ana wrote back in the IGOO's,
put it this way:
"Tender - handed stroke a nettle,
"And it stings you for your pains:
"Grasp it like a man of mettle
"And it soft as silk remains."
More along the same line:
The United States has formally
sked Russia to release nine
American airmen whose plane was
forced down in Soviet Armenia
last week. Officials in the defense
department in Washington say the
state department has ORDERED
Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson
to DEMAND that the Russians
release the kidnaped Americans
A hit of history:
From the early 1500 s until the
end of the 1700 s the Barbary pi
rates harried the Mediterranean
commerce of all nations, including
the great and powerful ones. They
captured ships and men ana
HELD THEM r UK KA.NMJM.
This went on for generations.
Then
In 1801 Thomas Jefferson, third
President of the infant republic of
the United States of America, took
the bull by the horns. He sent
Lieutenant Stephen Decatur to the
Mediterranean with an American
naval force.
The enterprise thus begun was
carried on until the pirate rulers
of the Barbary States knuckled
under and humbly promised to
STOP PIRACY AGAINST AMER
ICAN SHIPPING.
Incidentally
Later in his career Stephen De
catur attended a banquet at
which he was called on for a toast.
He offered this one:
"Our country: In her intercourse
with foreign nations may she al
ways be in the right: but OUK
COUNTRY, right or wrong.
I think maybe we'd better quit
russvfooting in our foreign policy
and go back to the days of our
national youth when confident of
the Tightness of our cause our
motto was THE B1UUKK THEY
ARE THE HARDER THEY FALL.

Steak Gone, But
Loss Light In
View Of Chance
OMAHA (AP) An Omaha
supermarket is missing a steak
today, but that's nothing to what
almost got -away.
Butcher Roy Fast from behind
a one-way glass saw a man pick
up a steak and shove it under the
bib of his overalls.
Fast alerted store manager Al
J. Butler. He suggested to the
clandestine shopper that he fork
over the meat.
The man reached inside his
overalls and produced a three-
pound ham.
Surprised, but still looking for
the steak, the manager suggested
a bib emptying. Out came another
three-pound ham. a pound of link
sausages, two pounds of bacon,
two pounds of ground beef.
Then, before Butler could sum
mon police, the overalls-wearer
brushed by and disappeared out
side, presumably in a hurry to get
home to a steak supper.
