Good Neighbor Policy
THE UNITED FRUIT Company provides a splendid
example of how to win friends and influence people
in six Latin American countries (Colombia, Costa
Rica, Ecuador, Guatamala, Honduras and Panama).
Perhaps the peoples of those six countries don’t exact
ly love us “Damnyankees,” but most of them are not
joining in the Communist - inspired chant: “Yankee,
Go Home!”
United Fruit has made some fat profits on the
bananas it has grown and exported from those coun
tries. It has been and is entitled to those fat profits,
because it has made tremendous investments there.
On the other hand, it has left seven dollars in Latin
America for every dollar in profit it has taken out.
That seems to be a pretty good break for the Colom
bians, etc.
Some 26 years ago, the late Samuel Zemurray,
then president of United Fruit, said: “Maybe we can’t
make the people love us, but we can make ourselves so
useful to them, that they will want us to stay.”
' The wisdom of that statement seems to have been
borne out. Policies of United Fruit instituted in these
six Latin American countries have produced “fruit”
other than bananas by way of at least making their
peoples tolerant of Uncle Sam. Our hat is doffed to
United Fruit.

i Blast Shatters
Jewish Church
PEORIA, 111., UP) — A crude
bomb shattered a basement door
and blasted out windows in Pe
oria’s oldest Jewish house of
worship early yesterday. FBI
agents hurried to Peoria to join
city apd state police in the in
vestigation.
Sixteen months ago an unex
ploded bomb was found at the
construction site of Peoria’s new
synagogue.
Rabbi Joseph Ginsberg, who
serves the 700-member congrega
tion, said physical damage to the
rear annex of the Anshi Emeth
Temple was small. But he added:
“The moral and spiritual dam
age to our American way of life
can be more expensive and far
reaching than the actual physical
damage to the church.”
Rabbi Ginsberg said he had re
ceived no warnings or any other
hints of trouble and is convinced
there was “some- connection be
tween this and what happened at
Atlanta.”
A large dynamite explosion in
Atlanta Sunday caused an esti
mated $200,000 damage to the
Temple, home of the Hebrew Be
nevolent Congregation.

RAUCOUS MYNAH
MAKES GARDEN
SITTING UNBEARABLE
LONDON, UP)—The upper crust
folk of Esher Park Avenue are
demanding a legal muzzle for the
cockney cage bird that wolf
whistles at girls and sings like a
drunken sailor.
The bird is an Indian Mynah,
one of the more articulate mem
bers of the starling family. It
lives in a superheated aviary at
one of the biggest houses on the
respectable, tree-lined avenue.
Its raucous repertoire — ren
dered largely in Cockney accents
picked up from a friendly gar
bage man — send outraged shud
ders through the sedate, subur
ban neighborhood.
Wolf whistling seems to bore
the mynah fairly quickly. But then
it launches into the song “All the
Nice Girls Love a Sailor” in a
voice like that of a mate lurching
from the grog shop.
When this palls, the bird can
give a passable imitation of sud
denly screeching air brakes,
throwing scares into many a pas
serby.
The mynah’s owner, John Lutt
rner, was summoned to court
Monday, accused of keeping a pet
that causes a “serious nuisnce.”
Businessman Clifford Black
more complained that he can hear
the bird over his garden hedge
from dawn till dusk. On summer
evenings he has trouble getting
the children to sleep, and finds it
unbearable to sit out in the
garden..
| Luttmore, a 49-year-old pota
j to importer, stoutly maintained
| that his pet is “pretty and amus
j ing.”
i The case was adjourned for
the week.
Punishment Fit The Crime
WASHINGTON, UP) — Whatever
I the child psychologists say,
I spanking goes on.
, “We spank and we don’t apol
j ogize,” said one of the 100 women
I delegates attending a conference
on better living.
! The mothers in the group were
almost unanimously in favor of
spanking as a form of discipline.
| As the cross-section of Amer
ican mothers saw it, parents have
to agree on the discipline to make
it work, and you still have to
“make the punishment fit the
crime.”

President Enjoys
68th Birthday At
GOP Breakfast
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGON, UP) — President
Eisenhower began his 68th birth
day observance yesterday with
an appeal to Republican workers
to unite in a fighting campaign
to regain control of Congress.
Eisenhower, ruddy and smiling,
told more than 500 GOP cam
paign staff workers at a birthday
breakfast that the Administra
tion’s record of accomplishment
is such there should be no doubt
Republican candidates will win
in the election.
“Why shouldn’t our ^ faces be
bright?” the President asked with
a big grin.
He said if each of the workers
puts everything it has into the
campaign to interest people who
believe in “sound, logical gov
ernment and who .are opposed to
radicalism, we can win without
doubt.”
“Put behind all memory of past
quarrels between ourselves,” Eis
enhower said. “If we dedicate our
selves completely to the job and
put our whole souls into it, we
can win.”
; Eisenhower told the Repub
licans their party has let the Dem
ocrats put across the political
propaganda that the GOP is di
vided and apathetic. He said that
: internecine warfare, and family
fights will not do in any team
which has a job on its hands.
J Eisenhower proposed to the
! party staff workers, who gave .
j the breakfast for him, that each
:of them write at least 10 letters
; to friends in their home states
urging active work in behalf of
Republican candidates.
Eisenhower said the Repub
licans have peace and a moderate
kind of government on their side.
“There may be no just and per
manent peace at this time, but
there is no shooting,” Eisenhower
said as his listeners applauded
vigorously.

1 STOP STALLS
I due to carburetor icing
* Only Chevron gasolines bring you a
new anti-icing discovery that’s guar
anteed to stop stalls. Here’s how:
During cold weather, moist air freezes,
forming tiny ice crystals inside your
carburetor. These tiny crystals build
up around your throttle valve, choke
off your fuel mixture. When this
happens, your engine stalls!
Chevron gasolines stop these stalls,
by stopping the moist air from
freezing inside your carburetor. It’s
tested, proved and
guaranteed!
