WELL-YOU CAN’T PLEASE EVERYBODY
50,000,000 FRENCHMEN CAN BE WRONG
Everyone has heard the saying, “50,000,000 French
men can’t be wrong.”
One of France’s greatest men of letters, the late
Anatole France, made an infinitely wiser observation:
“If 50,000,000 people say a foolish thing, it is still a
foolish thing.”
This is not limited to France, of course—it applies
to every nation on the face of the earth. The fact that
many people, or even a great majority of people, believe
and,approve something does not make it right. Some of
the greatest human achievements—in the realm of ideas
as well as material progress—have come from non
conformists and dissenters who hewed to their princi
ples in the face of widespread ridicule, opposition, and
even persecution.
RULING WILL EXPOSE REDS
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 7-2 opinion, has
upheld the Immunity Act of 1954 by which the Govern
ment can compel testimony from witnesses in national
security cases by extending immunity from prosecu
tion. By this act, at long last, the Communist is denied
the shelter of the Fifth Amendment. Asked about his
Red affiliations, he must now answer, or be jailed for
contempt of court. t
And while he cannot be punished for an incrim
inating answer, he is branded before the world as a
traitor, which is, in itself, a life sentence.

Statehood Will Not
Affect Fed. Living
Cost Allowance
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Delegate
Bartlett says the Civil Service
Commission has advised him
statehood would make no differ
ence in the cost of living allow
ance granted federal employes in
Alaska.
The Delegate commented that
an effort had been .made to per
suade federal employes to vote
against the proposed Alaska con
stitution toy contending statehood
would cause them to lose the cost
allowance.
“The Civil Service Commission
does not subscribe to this view,”
Bartlett said.
“The commission sometime ago
made a careful study as to the
legal effect of statehood on the
cost of living allowance and has
determined there would toe no
difference whatsoever,” Bartlett
said.
At the same time the delegate
noted that, if anything, two sen
ators and a representative from
Alaska would help serve the in- 1
terests of federal employes in
Alaska.
“Federal employes are well
aware several determined and al
most successful efforts have been
made in the past under territorial
status to discontinue the allow
ance, which is in being only by
act of Congress and can be
changed at any time by Congress.”
Russian-Britisli
Trade Talks Run
into Stone Wall
(Continued Irom Page One)
talks now with a chip-on-shoulder
attitude.
“Khrushchev Drops the Mask,”
said a typical headline describing
the acrimonious clash Monday
night between the Soviet party
head and Labor Party leaders
over the status of Socialists and
Jews in Russia and the Red bloc
nations.
Even the most leftist of the
Socialists seemed shocked.

LONDON, (#)—Soviet and Brit
ish leaders decreed today an 11th
hour reprieve for their talks on
urgent world problems. Hopes
rose for at least a small measure
of agreement.
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulgan
in and Commusist Party Chief Ni
kita Khrushchev looked thought
ful and solemn as they left No. 10
Downing Street after what was to
have been their last session with
Prime Minister Eden. But Eden
smiled cheerfully.
Both sides had sent their top
negotiating teams into action to
try to break the deadlocks and
narrow their differences.
The slim prospect that the visit
might still result in some substan
tial narrowing of East-West dif
ferences received a slight boost
from a talk Khrushchev had last
night with Harold Stassen, Presi
dent Eisenhower’s special adviser
on disarmament.
Stassen and Khrushchev got to
gether in an anteroom barely re
moved from the hubbub of a Sovi
et reception at fashionable Clar
idge’s Hotel. Thev talked for two
hours, “all about disarmament and
nothing else,” Stassen said.
Stassen wouldn’t tell reporters
whether they made any progress
but he said: “I am going to report
to the President tonight just what
he said. I think it’s that impor
tant.”

WITTE
Diesel Engine
Generator Units
I'or installations where
dependable, 24-hour-a
day operation is required, use a Witte engine or a Witte engine
generator unit. They will provide reliable, low-cost power, are
completely weatherproof, and can be operated out-of-doors,
without protection, except under extreme cold or wet-weather
conditions. Both are compact, require minimum maintenance,
and operate on low-cost diesel fuel. There are many generator
unit models for either direct or alternating current, and Witte
diesel engines from 4 to 12.5 horsepower.
