Police and persons who attended the show remarked there was no apparent traffic congestion at any point, in comparison to long lines of waiting cars when the base was opened to the public last year.
Much for the efficient handling of traffic was attributed to the effective use of new radio equipment recently installed by the police department.

Says Occupation Of More Countries By U.S. Possible New Orleans, May 21 (AP)-VicePresident Alben Barkley said tonight the United States May have to occupy more countries before the cold war ends. He told Armed Forces Day banquet that "we must drive back this monster that has crept over the earth, destroying freedom of man." Little Treaty Prospect He did not identify the monster as Soviet Russia, but as a World War II ally that had "become selfish and so domineering that it would block the peace all men hoped for." Barkley did not say which countries may have to be occupied.
He said there seems to be little prospect for a peace treaty, making it necessary to maintain armed forces all over the world. The Vice-President added the United States was forced to increase its budget to keep up with its armed forces. brutal, "Because of that nation' so with no concern for its fellow men." Barkley said. "we now have to spend three times as much on nahad tional defense as we would if peace come." be He asserted, however, "we must not discouraged." and pointed to the fight of Poland for: independence. Asks No Reward "After the last fight (World War II) they find themselves with a government imposed by the Soviet Union, all of their freedoms snuffed out by communism." he continued.
Barkley said "we can't' endanger our country to save a in the U. S. Treasury. It would cost far more to fight World War 111. "The war is over, but the duration may have just started.
We cannot be free if the the world is in slavery."

It now keeps 35,000 craftsmen In 40 factories and plants humming to turn out 3.250,000 locks, 000,000 watches and several million time recorders yearly.

tion from Germany where the wage NATIONALISTS IN CHINA HAVE LOST BIGGEST WEAPON Withdrawal From Archipelago Means Blockade Must Be Given Up By JAMES D. WHITE (AP) Foreign News Analyst Still the most explosive front of the cold war in Asia, the Chinese civil war last week underwent a serious. and basic change. Reds Got Jet l'lanes Without firing a shot, the Nationalists withdrew from the Chushan archipelago near Shanghai. With recent loss of Hainan Island off the South, China biggest coast, weapon this the forfeits National- ists had against the Chinese Communists.
The weapon was the blockade. As long as the Reds had no means of retaliation, Chiang Kai-shek was able to throttle their commerce and industry with a handful of old airplanes and naval vessels. Then the Reds got a small air force from Russia. including jet planes. Chiang now is withdrawing completely from the China coast to the island of Formosa 100 miles out to sea.
"I cannot retreat any more even if I wanted to," said Chiang. He thus ended his long policy of trading space for time. There is no more to trade. The Reds have voted to "liberate" Formosa. in 1950.
One P'rediction This situation is understandably desperate to any Chinese because it is contrary to classic ideas of conflict to let yourself be cornered. The degree of this desperation in the Chinese mind, however, can easily be underestimated by the West. The Hong Kong Standard, published by Chinese, speculated promptly that Chiang might "openly declare war on Russia in view her blatant intervention on the side of the Chinese Reds." "This may mark the beginning of World War said Standard. Without following the Standard quite that far, it can be noted that in the opinion of many close observers China's strategy from the beginning of the civil war has been based on belief that Russo rivalry would lead finally to a global conflict. Then he would get western aid against his domestic Communist enemies.
las the Power Whether Chiang is right or wrong in this idea, he has the sovereign power declare war. Assuming he wants to do it (which I don't assume) one must first ask whether the great powers are prepared to go to war over China at this late date. It may also be open to question whether Nationalist China's claim to membership in the United Nations would be enhanced or reduced by such a step. The actual desperation of the Nationalist government is concealed in the situation on Formosa itself, where good invasion weather lasts through July. llere are 'six million Formosans who display no love for the approximately million' and a half mainlanders in their midst.
As around 600,000 of these mainlanders have all the' arms on Formosa, there is no present danger A revolt by the "islanders. Should the Reds invade, however, the attitude of the islanders would be uncertain at best. Record Improved In the minds of most mainlanders there is nothing uncertain about the fear they have of the islanders should the latter ever get the upper hand. The Nationalist record in Formosa has improved recently, particularly since American economic aid began arriving, but before that Were years of exploitation. The Formosans have not forgotten 1947 when were killed in an uprising against Nationalist rule.
This merely sharpens in the mainlander's mind the already nasty situation into which he has followed (or in some cases preceded) Chiang Kaishek. There is no place else to go. Never before have 90 many of Chiang's top followers New found. themselves in quite this spot.

SEES ALLIANCE AS AID FOR UN Canadian Minister Explains Ideas Behind Atlantic Pact BY LESTER R.
PEARSON and the United States have, since the London, May (INS) Canada war, shown a greatly increased interest in European affairs, and their membership in the North Atlantic Alliance is both A symbol and an instrument of that greater interest. Base of Alliance There is every reason to believe that amongst the nations of the Atlantic community continue to develop even further. That community includes our two countries. The North Atlantic Alliance is based on the conception of a COordinated defense system. As plans for defense are progressively deVeloped, it will become increasingly clearer that particular naions are best capable of assuming special responsibilities.
The idea of a balanced defense program amongst the whole grou 01 Atlantic nations has always been present and should, I think, reflect itself soon in defense policy. The Atlantic treaty is in no way contrary to the aims and purposes of the United Nations As embodied in the charter. UN Strengthened By increasing sense of security amongst its members, the Atlantic Pact also increases their ability to participate in the work of the United Nations, and thereby strengthens! rather than undermines that organization. The development, through the operfor defense of North ation of the treaty, of the nations should certainly decrease the likelihood that any one of them will be the victim of aggression. In present circ*mstances a United appeal directly to the Soviet Union (by Atlantic Pact powers) would not seem to offer much possibility of ending the cold war.
Gradual Process I do not. however. in spite of recurrent and persistent difficulties, abandon hope of solving peacefully the problems that divide the eastern and the western world. The re-integration of Germany into the life Europe. accepting the responsibilities and sharing the benefits of membership in the community of nations, must be brought about gradually and with proper safeguards aginst a recurrence of dangers we have experienced in the past.
As this process goes forward, Germany must be enabled to play her part in the economic as well as the political life of the west, and adjustments in the German economy may therefore be necessary. Questions relating to the German and the economies of other European countries, are of course under discussion continuously in DEED (the Organization for European 'Economic Co-operation.) Imaginative Suggestion The specific question of the level of German steel production in future may well be affected by. the fate of the Schuman, proposals (the proposals by Foreign Minister Robert Schuman for a Franco-German pool of steel and coal.) At first sight the steel-conl proposal of M. Schuman appears to be a constructive and imaginative suggestion for dealing with a practical problem of great importance, and also for widening the basis of, European co-operation. We shall watch with interest the more detailed development of the plan.

What's more, there 'were no federal or state handouts. Bad Conditions What spurred this valley towrahip into action was the conditions under which its 356 pupils studied and' the difficulties that faced the 11 school teachers. Back in 1911 a handful of citizens decided something must be done about what they called the antiquated, unsanitary frame buildings, the newest more than 40 years old, that served as school houses.

Opposition Appears But by then taxes had increased so greatly from the prewar level that an opposition bloc began to make itself heard. Their argument was that the old schools could be remodeled at a much lower figure.
Despite this minority group, the 1947 town meeting voted 3 38-cent increase in the tax rate for years to raise $10,000 a year for eventual use in defraying the cost of 8. central Early in 1949, when interest again began to lag and the opposition had time to reorganize, Parent Teacher groups sought to arouse public interest anew by setting, prominent, citizens to write weekly newspaper, the Manchester The letters stirred up some talk but progress might have been slow if Drs. Clifford B. Graham, 3 wife who writes a column of feminine comment for the paper, had not devoted her space to the "appalling conditions" of the existing schools.

The bond issue had to be approved by the voters--no easy hurdie in frugal Vermont since it meant more than $1 would be added 2 the per thousand-dollar tax rate for the next 20 years. Weekly Donated Garage owner Lynn Bourne organized a group of about 20. men to pay for and write weekly advertisem*nts in the paper during the five weeks preceding the April 29 voting cate.
Parent- Teacher groups offered to provide baby-sitters and transportation for voters. Shortly after the polls closed, hundreds stood in a raw drizzle to hear the result: The bond issue passed by a margin of almost 2-1 in the largest Vote in town history. But that wasn't the end of camI plications. The Legislature had granted permission to the town to borrow $159.000. But when the School Board prepared the ballot it felt that building costs were dropping and that $400,000, with the $30,000 set aside earlier, would be sufficient.
However, the low, bid turned out to be $158,107. Would the voters stand another red quest for funds? Leaders of the school movement decided not to place another burden on. the taxpayers. Instead, they said they would raise the needed funds by public subscription while construction of the new school got underway with the funds already on hand. So far about a $5 for every man, woman and child in the townhas been raised.
One private subscription was for $1000. The Junior Grange raised $25. The eighth grade presented the town with $12. as its graduation present. The VFW raised $600 at a carnival and a group of school fund play charged 25 cents a table and contributed $20.
The townspeople also got permission to sell the old school buildings at auction at which $10,000 is expected to be realized. And here the story ends: The new central school building is expected to be ready for occupancy next September-a monument to local community effort.
