Senator Morse Decries
“Honeymoon” Between
Admin, and Liberals
WASHINGTON, W— John Fos
ter Dulles’ assurances that the
Eisenhower administration will
consult Congress and America’s
allies before making any dramatic
moves in the Pacific took the heat
out of Democratic criticism Sat
urday.
And Chairman H. Alexander
Smith (R-NJ) of the Senate Far
Eastern Affairs Subcommittee of
fered to talk over with the Secre
tary of State the possibility of
partly lifting the secrecy sur
rounding his consultations on
Capitol Hill.
Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala) voiced
the new feeling among congres
sional Democrats. He said he was
satisfied the Republican adminis
tration “has slowed down what I
was afraid was about to develop
into a headlong rush into war.”
Sparkman, the Democrats’ de
feated candidate for vice presi
dent last year, said the adminis
tration now is displaying a “sharp
ened sensitiveness to try to work
this thing (foreign policy) out
with our Allies.
But Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) was
in no mood for such talk. He told
the Senate yesterday the “Liber
als” must stop talking about a
“honeymoon” with the new ad
ministration.

Eisenhower Promises '
Minimum Controls Over
Allocation of Metals
WASHINGTON, W—The mar
ket in steel, copper and alumni
num was closer Saturday to being
free than it has been in more than
two years. *
The decontrol - pledged Eisen
hower administration weakened
allocation controls Friday and
promised to do away with them,
except for a minimum to protect
defense requirements, by June
30.
Price controls remain on the
allocation - free metals, but all
price controls are on the way out
by not later than April 30.
The new order was warmly
greeted by spokesmen for the
automobile industry — now re
lieved of a 114 million limit per
quarter on passenger cars.
The only limitation now will be
that the government still will see
that actual military and atomic
energy production gets first call.
It will continue to do that, under
what spokesmen termed a sim
plified system, after June 30.

SCHOOL NEWS
THIRD GRADE
Many children in our room
have missed many days during
the last two weeks because of ill
ness. Most of us are back in school
now and we hope the worst of the
sickness is over.
Cherie Galvin was promoted to
the fourth grade at the beginning
of the second semester. We miss
her very much.
The new semester found us
somewhat ahead of our “Course
of Study” so we are feeling quite
pleased with ourselves and plan
ning much extra work.
We are making a wall mural of
plant and animal life in Africa.
Rev. Joseph \Ost brought his Af
rican slides to show us and told
many interesting stories of his life
there. We learned a lot about the
dark continent, the plants, the
animals and the people and we
thoroughly enjoyed the hour.
Everyone has been busy each
spare moment making Valentines.
We plan to have a party Friday
afternoon. As special guests Mrs.
Kearns and Mr. Angell have been
invited.
A class-room newspaper was
started this semester. In it are
reported class room events and
special happenings around town.
A daily temperature record is
kept. Interest in our paper is
keen.
Ernest Ailak found many facts
pertaining to Abraham Lncoln’s
life and prepared a fine paper
which he read to the class. How
ard Capener brought us a book
on Lincoln and we will learn
much of Civil War times from it.
Next week we start learning lots
about George Washington.
FOURTH GRADE
Each pupil in our class is mak
ing a Geography booklet over one
of the six units we have studied to
date. The covers are being illus
trated with pictures to represent
the unit each pupil has chosen.
We have taken a 3300 mile trip
on the Lincoln Highway, explored
the Amazon River Basin, steamed
up the Congo River, visited with
African pigmies and grassland
Indians, climbed the Pyramids of
Egypt and paddled 4,000 miles
down the Nile River.
Now we are in the midst of a
Mediterranean cruise, with visits
to different Spanish cities and
ports of Italy.
Almost half of our class was
absent with the flu for a week.
Only one pupil is out now.
Recently, new readers were
distributed and we have read sev
eral interesting stories of grand
father’s school days. One amusing
event was when a pupil smoked
out the entire classroom by plac
ing a board over the chimney top.
By doing this, he succeeded in
getting school dismissed and got
to attend his aunt’s wedding. But
even in days of old crime did
not pay, as the culprit received a
sound thrashing from his father
and one from his teacher.
Chinese Communists Celebrate
New Year of The Snake
With Five-Hour Attack
SEOUL, (M—Chinese Commun
ists celebrated their New Year’s
Day in Korea Saturday by start
ing a bitter five-hour battle near
Old Baldy hill and temporarily
cutting off Allied troops.
In the air war, a Sabre jet
pilot, Col. Royal Baker of Mc
Kinney, Tex., downed a MIG to
become a double ace—10 Red jet
fighters destroyed.
The day marked the beginning
of the Chinese year of the snake.
In addition to their assault on
Allied front positions, the Reds
blasted forth with propaganda*
appeals from loudspeakers. They
said in English: “We beg of you
to pause, cease fire, and end the
war.”
Another broadcast, aimed di
rectly at American troops, urged
them to “lay down your arms
and go home.”
