Know Your Candidates
EVERY YEAR AT THIS TIME, the “get out the
vote” campaign surges into high gear.
All of us are urged to exert the great right of
franchise. This is all to the good. A citizen who fails
to vote shirks a fundamental duty, and he certainly
has no right to criticize the conduct of public affairs.
It’s a disgrace that in many elections, up to half
the qualified voters can’t trouble to go to the polls.
Something needs to be added to the command
“Vote.” Know who and what you’re voting for. To
vote in ignorance is as had as not voting at all.
Do the respective candidates favor improvements
for the community? Are they qualified to fill the
office better than their opponents? Can they be
trusted to serve the community unselfishly? Study
the candidates carefully, and then vote for the person
whom you believe to be right.
Alaska Airline Stewardess
Meets Adenauer During
His Stopover at Anchorage
ANCHORAGE, UPi — West Ger
man . Chancellor Konrad Aden
auer’s departure from Elmendorf
Air Force Base here was marked
by a nostalgic encounter between
the German leader and an Alaska
Airlines stewardess who came to
the United States from Hamburg
five years ago.
Ursula W. Cope, the stewardess,
had just flown into Elmendorf
from Seattle aboard a plane mak
ing a contract flight for the Mili
tary Air Transport Service.
Outside MAT terminal she met
several of the newsmen traveling
with Adenauer, and it was an
emotional experience for her. “It
made me so homesick.” she said
later.
She talked to her former coun
trymen in German for a few min
uates, and then Adenauer rolled
up to the terminal in his limou
sine.
Miss Cope, tears streaming
from her eyes, was introduced to
the Chancellor. He shook her hand
Land they conversed warmly as he
walked toward the Lufthansa
Constellation that was to take him
to Bonn.

U. S. Navy base on Adak Island

Mansfield, Ohio, vanished while
returning to his quarters from an

element.

Khrushchev Gives
Hope for Solution
On Germany
MOSCOW, W) — Premier
Khrushchev said today the Soviet
Union will do “everything for the
solution of the question of a Ger
man peace treaty on a basis ac
ceptable to the Western powers.”
But at a Moscow homecoming
rally reporting on his visit to
France, Khrushchev once more in
sisted on signing separate treaties
with East and West Germany, a
proposal repeatedly rejected by
the West.
Khrushchev said the German
question had bulked large in 'his
talks with President De Gaulle and
he expressed belief these talks had
clarified the Soviet position for
the French. The Soviet Premier
returned Sunday from an 11-day
visit to France.
Khrushchev again lashed out at
Chancellor Adenauer of West Ger
many. He said on his visits to the
United States and Japan, Aden
auer tried to mobilize “the cold
war champions” against a Ger
man peace treaty.
Turning to the question of dis
armament, the Premier said:
“For disarmament, which is the
most important question facing
the world today, I would say that
our (Khrushchev-De Gaulle) opin
ions coincide.”
A final communique in Paris
Saturday said 'both leaders agreed
on the need for disarmament. De
Gaulle said nothing about Khrush
chev’s plan for total disarmament
within four years, which the
French delegation at Geneva has
called unrealistic.
Khrushchev conceded there are
differences in the positions of
France and the Soviet Union but
“on the most important questions
we were obviously not always in
agreement, but on the most im
portant we came closely together.”
Congress granted a federal char
ter to the Boy Scouts of America
in 1916.

New Marine Corps
Commander Wants
No Fuss, Feathers
WASHINGTON, — General
David M. Shoup has told his sub
ordinates to cut out fancy wel
coming ceremonies and washroom
inspections when he visits Marine
Corps bases.
In a bluntly worded letter to
field commanders, Shoup carried
on his personal campaign against
fuss and feathers by saying that
he would not tolerate such things.
The personal letter, dated April
Fools Day, was not meant for a
joke, Marine headquarters em
phasized.
Shoup took over as Marine boss
on Jan. 1. He promptly jolted the
Corps by abolishing swagger
sticks and associated non-essential
customs.
In Friday’s letter, he told sub
ordinates to stop arranging spe
cial demonstrations for him and
to limit social affairs to a mini
mum of small informal gatherings.
“I want as little vibration as
possible which might be related
solely to my being present,” the
commandant wrote', saying that
he liked to talk to people as indi
viduals. The four - star Marine
chief remarked that, he could
spend “limited time more profit
ably this way than looking at
things through field glasses and
walking through heads and wash
rooms.” ■

Hagerty Leaves for
| Moscow Tomorrow
WASHINGTON, UP) — White

Tuesday for Moscow and Tokyo
to discuss details of President
Eisenhower’s trip to those two
countries June 10 to 20.

ments secretary to the President,
and State Department staff mem
bers, will be in the advance party
of about 15 to 16. There will also
be two plane crews.
Hagerty declined to discuss the
problems involved, calling it only
a normal dry run to discuss a
myriad of details with Russian
and Japanese authorities.
He said he did ry>t know yet
whether Eisenhower would visit
any other countries except Japan
on the way home from Russia.
The President has invitations
from several other countries, in
cluding Korea, and The Philip
pines.
The trip to Moscow is a return
visit for that made to the United
States last fall by Soviet Premier
Khrushchev.
Hagerty said his party will •
reach Moscow the afternoon of
April 6 'after an overnight stop
at Copenhagen, Denmark. They
will stay six days in Russia and
visit some of the other points
Eisenhower will visit. The other
places were not named by Hag
erty.
From Moscow, Hagerty said the
party will take the western Polar
route over Iceland, Greenland,
northern Canada and Alaska en
route to Tokyo. He said they are
taking this route instead of the
eastern trip over Siberia to save
time.
Which route Eisenhower will
take to Japan was not announced
but the implication was he would
go eastward.
