No One Can Refuse
IN THE MAIL this week, many local people received
“Advance Census Reports Forms for 1960, with the
request of Director Robert Burgess of the Bureau of
the Census that they fill in the answers in advance of
Aipril 1, and hold it for the Census Taker, who will
, be calling.
Some people may think that matters such as flush
toilets and baths, and mixed races in the household,
are none of the Government’s business, but according
to legal advice from the National.Capitol, no one can
refuse to answer the questions simply because he con
siders the answers to foe none of the Government’s
business.
He must answer to the best of his ability, and will
ful refusal or false answers can result in jail sentence
and imprisonment as well.
If refusal under the Fifth Amendment is con
sidered, then a person should be prepared to retain
an attorney, for he might get himself into trouble.
Khrushchev in Paris, Tells De Gaulle
6We Are Fighting Sincerely for Peace’
PARIS, UP) — Soviet Premier
Khrushchev s^id today the Soviet
Union is going to do everything
possible to achieve* disarmament
and only insignificant items are
preventing a nuclear agreement in
Gevena.
The Russian chieftain spoke at
a reception after arriving in Paris
fdr a 12-day state visit to France
and opening talks with President
De Gaulle on world affairs.
“We are fighting sincerely for
peace,” Khrushchev said. “I
think that sometime in the future
we will be able to consider an
other reduction of our army.”
This was a reference to his an
nounced plan to cut Soviet armed
forces by 1,200,000 men in the
next two years and rely on rock
ets for defense pending world
disarmament.
Khrushchev said both France
and Russia fear a rebirth of mili
tarism in Germany.
In a speech after landing at
Orly Airport, Khrushchev touched
on main problems facing East and
West tout said “We must in par
ticular care for the problem of
disarmament.”
De Gaulle, whose government is
pushing ahead with a progrum of
nuclear weapon development to
increase its status in world coun
cils, gave no indication of his
reaction to Khrushchev's words.
Always austere, he stood quietly
toy as an interpreter translated
from the Russian.
Khrushchev also made what ap
peared to be an oblique reference
to Berlin, speaking "of the dan
gerous leftovers of World War II,
a description he has often ap
pied to the still-occupied Ger
man metropolis.
The Soviet Premier, who would
like to see a slackening of Paris
Bonn ties, called for further de
velopment of relations between
France and the Soviet Union.
“If the Soviet Union and i
Frdnce, the two greatest powers of
continental Europe, in concert
with all nations dedicated to
peace, take an agreed position on
the fundamental problems of
maintaining peace, no aggressiv/^
force would be able to raise its
head and trouble the peace of
Europe,” he said.
Orly Airport was a blaze of
color and pageantry as the French
put on a full-dress greeting for
Khrushchev’s first visit to France,
the first by a Russian government
chief since Czar Nicholas II came
with Czarina Alexandra on Oct.
6, 1896.
Khrushchev smiled and waved
hii soft gray hat as he alightecr
from his' plane, followed by his
wife, Nina. He seemed vigorous
as he read his speech in the Salon
of Honor, but a slight hoarseness
seemed to be a legacy of the in
flucna attack which postponed
his arrival dor a week.
