BUT LOOK WHO’S STILL STANDING GUARD
WE LIVE TWO LIVES
There are 763 weekly newspapers in Canada, with
a total circulation of almost 2,500,000. The January
issue of a monthly letter issued by the Royal Bank of
Canada was devoted entirely to them and their signifi
cance. It said: “Singly or taken together, these weekly
newspapers have a great influence on the thought and
action of our people.
“Everybody, in a sense, lives two lives—one in a
small and the other in a great circle. He belongs by
birth or choice to various intimate groups, like his
family, his neighborhood, and his cluster of friends.
He is also a member of the whole society of Canada,
and he living within an interdependent system of na
tions. The weekly newspaper belongs to his intimacy.”
The same thing is true of the thousands of United
States weekly papers and small-city dailies. They are
the running record of the community, and of the indi
viduals, families, enterprises and institutions which
created, forged and maintained it.

Soviets Asks Big 4
Conference for
Austrian Treaty
MOSCOW, (#>—The Soviet Union
called Tuesday for a meeting of
the Big Four foreign ministers in
Vienna in the near future to sign
an Austrian state treaty.
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov called in the top diplo
matic representatives of Britain,
France and the United yesterday
morning to hand them notes de
claring:
“As a result of the exchange of
opinion (with Austrian Chancellor
Raab and his delegation last
week) it is clear that the possi
bility exists to settle the Austrian
question and conclude a state
treaty with Austria.”
The Soviet note said that rep
resentatives of the Austrian gov
ernment should take part in the
Viennese talks.
Molotov also gave the three
Western representatives informa
tion on the result of the talks he
held last week with Chancellor
Raab.
t He told them these talks had re
sulted in a situation “that will
permit the restoration of a Demo
cratic Austrian state which will
be an essential contribution to the
strengthening of peace in Europe.”
Western diplomats said they be
lieved the quick Soviet follow-up
showed a determination to keep
the initiative which the Soviet
Union has gained in the past 10
days.
Natural Gas Well
At Pt. Barrow To Be
Given to Air Force
WASHINGTON, W—'The House
Armed Services Committee has
approved a Navy proposal to turn
over a natural gas well and other
facilities at Point Barrow to the
Air Force.
Committee aides said they were
advised the Air Force will develop
another well in the area to supply
its base there.
The Navy, which has spent mil
lions seeking to develop Naval
Petroleum Reserve No. 4 in
northern Alaska, has recently had
only a custodial group at Point
Barrow.
The Air Force already is using
the 500,000 cubic feet daily gas
production of a Navy well to heat
its installation but must have ad
ditional production to meet its
demand.
In asking permission to transfer
the facility, including well-drill
ing equipment, a Navy spokesman
told the committee the Air Force
would be “well justified” in drill
ing a second well.
The proposal, which does not
affect the status of the over-all
Naval Petroleum Reserve, still
must be approved by the Senate
committee.

Citizens’ Group
Urges Eisenhower
To Prevent War
WASHINGTON, UP>—Forty-sev
en well-known Americans who
call themselves liberals urged
President Eisenhower Tuesday to
“take immediate steps to extri
cate the United States and the
world from the present menace of
war in the Formosa Strait.”
They called upon the President
in such negotiations “to make
clear that the United States will
not commit its forces to the de
fense” of Matsu and Quemoy “and
will not permit them to become a
cause of war.”
Announcement of the telegram
to Eisenhower was made by Am
ericans for Democratic Action
(ADA), which said the signers
acted as individuals. ADA, claim
ing 45,000 members, calls itself an
“independent, anticommunist, po
litical organization” dedicated to
the cause of liberalism.
Among those listed as signers
were Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt;
Norman Thomas, veteran Social
ist leader; W. P. Kennedy, presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen; arthor-commen
tator Elmer Davis; Mrs. India
Edwards, vice-chairman of the
Democratic National Committee;
Dr. Reinhold Neibuhr, Union The
ological Seminary; the Rev. John
Haynes Holmes, former pastor of
Community Church, N.Y.; Lloyd
K. Garrison, N.Y. attorney; Ben
jamin V. Cohen, former State
Department adviser; and Harvard
Professors Zechariah Chafee Jr.,
Seymour E. Harris, Alvin Hansen,
and Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
WASHINGTON, wn—Secretary
of State Dulles said Tuesday that
Asst. Secretary Carl W. McCardle
was the man who gave out the
Yalta Papers a day ahead of their
general release.
Dulles told the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee that Mc
Cardle, assistant secretary for
public affairs, “gave a galley
proof” to the New York Times the
evening of March 15.
“This involved an exercise by
Mr. McCardle of a discretion that
was his,” Dulles said. “It involved
no breach of security.”
Dulles said he had concluded
by the time the one copy was
given out that the British Gov
ernment had withdrawn its ob
jections to publication and that
publication would not hurt U.S.
relations with its allies.
The release of the single copy
came just a day after the State
Dept, had said disclosure of the
record of the wartime conference
among Churchill, Roosevelt and
Stalin would not be in the nation
al interest.
Dulles was summoned to a
closed-door session of the com
mittee headed by Sen. George
(D-Ga> and read a prepared state
ment. In it Dulles said that James
B. Reston of the New York Times
told Dulles and McCardle on the
morning of March 15 it was Res
ton’s “impression” of a conversa
tion he said he had with George
“that the senator wished to see
the Yalta record made public by
the State Dept.
Reston is the Washington cor
respondent for the Times.
Reston, Dulles said, “urged that
it was of the utmost importance
that the papers be published as a
whole and not in garbled form.”
“I said that such matters fell
under the jurisdiction of Mr. Mc
Cardle . . . who was a former
newspaperman.”
Dulles said Reston and McCar
dle left him at that point and
Dulles “subsequently learned”
McCardle “gave a galley p’-oof to
Mr. Reston about 8:30 p.m. that
evening.”
Dulles told the committee it
was not until shortly after 10 a.m.
of March 16 that “the British -m
bassador phoned me that his gov
ernment agreed to publication and
that a confirmation cable from
London was on its way to me.”
Thus the papers were, by Dul
les’ account, given to the Times
before the British formally agreed
to publication.

Chou Joins Bandung
Conference Approval
Of U.N. Human Rights
BANDUNG, Indonesia, (if)—Red
China’s Premier Chou En-Lai this
afternoon agreed to a compromise
on the question of human rights
at the Asian-African conference.
The political committee, com
posed of the 29 heads of dele
gations at the conference, also
debated more than three hours on
the Palestine question. Seven
Moslem countries offered resolu
tions demanding the conference
support implementation of the
United Nations resolution on Pal
estine.
Chou reportedly had refused at
first to discuss a conference reso
lution on human rights based on
the 'U.N. charter.
“How can I discuss anythin?
under the U.N. charter when we
are not members of the United
Nations?” one source quoted him
as arguing.
With 28 other delegation heads,
however, he ended by approving
a resolution stating:
“The Asian-African conference
declares itself in firm support of
the fundamental premises of hu
man rights as set forth in the
charter of the United Nations and
takes note of the demand for a j
common standard of achieve
ments for all peoples and all
countries.”
