DECISIONS MADE j Here is the general outline of ; what was decided in December: The key decision was to ask the United States for arms. It was a major step taken with hesitation among the party leaders. It was regarded as the final seal set on the break with Moscow. Up ’til then many Yugoslav l Communists still clung to the line ! that both East and West were i equally “imperialist.” They felt that asking he'p from either, especially | arms, was an invitation to slavery. It was only after the Yugoslavs I saw for themselves that American ! food aid was really given without : strings that they finally allowed themselves to be conviced. That was one side of ,the dec!- J Big Attendance At PTA Meeting Mrs. Annie Laura Johnson, Mrs. Vivian Bailey, and Mrs. Catherine , Smith won the awards for having , the highest percentage of P. T. A. member for this school year. 1 It . I was reported by Mrs. Ruth Mc- I Lamb, the membership chairman, I that wfe have over 325 P. T. A. | members and there were many In- I terested parents in attendance | Monday night, October 29. ! For having the highest per cent in attendance at P. T. A. was Mrs. | Alfred Parker, Mrs. Vivian Bailey ■ and Mr Mitchell Nance. Each of I these teachers’ rooms will get a banner and a free play period. Durinv the business session a I committee was appointed to see about plans for a recreational cen [ ter for the teen-agers. A commit tee was also appointed to set up i goals for the year 1951-1952. The ' goals were: i, 1. Lunch room project, 2. Safety patrolling, 3. Cooperation between parents and teachers. Mrs. Erma H**dson gave an in formative talk on Reading Readi ness in First Grade. Mrs. Alfred Parker’s fourth grade gave a very good Hal'owe’en program. Mr. J W. Smith, president, pre j sided; Mrs. Crystelle Parker, secre ! tary, read the minutes and Mrs. j Annalearn Johnson gave the treas ! ury report. i ■ ! sion. The other was that, after tak i ing a lorg look at the situation of Yugoslavia In the world, and par ticularly at the military prepara tions in the Soviet satellites, this country’s leaders had come to two basic conclusions: j 1. They must prepare to defend ! all of Yugoslavia in case of war, abandoning their previous plan of retiring into the mountainous "Bosnian redoubt” after a token defense of the plains and Belgrade. 2. They must prepare to be In volved in war from the very be ginning. It had become clear now that no attack in Europe could hope to be localized CHANGE SHOWN IN UN Logically following from this sec- J ond conclusion was another: That I Yugoslavia must now abandon its j above-the-battle attitude and take a more active and responsible role ! on the international stage. This j change soon became publicly evi- I dent when Yugoslavia cast its first ! positive vote on Korea in the Unit ed Nation** (for economic sanctions against China). In the Yugoslav view, this more responsible role does not mean that Yugoslavia should go to the extent of joining pacts or blocs, or making definite military or political com mitments on future action. As Marshal Tito said recently, Yugoslavia ia in favor of seeing the west re-arm "lor the purpose of maintaining peace, but not for the purpose of winning a war.” tmt DAILY EECORD. DUNN. *.

Eisenhower back home cm a quickie visit the biggest man in Europe right now is W. Averell Harriman. Not just the biggest American. Harriman wins the blue ribbon for all breeds. He’s a tall, slight fellow with gray hair, an easy, .friendly manner—and money. An American feels mighty fine here with a couple of DSO bills tucked In his emergency pocket. Turn sharp left from the United Press office and SD steps will take you to the Boulevard des Italiens. DIRTY PICTURES FOR CASH Another 30 steps and one or more mysterious characters have aoproached you. They have dirty pictures, if you v/ant them. But their real business is money. Ameri can money. Those beautiful green bills which a-r good anywhere. France for dollars, that Is the char acter’s game. Harriman has about 5,M0,000,000 dollars for Europe. And the Euro peans want money In any amount. They want money more than they want peace, in a manner of speak ing IT’S PEACEFUL They’ve got peace over here. You hear less war talk In Paris In a I day than you might in two hours in the National Press Club far back home, or In the Senate, for that matter. But money is mighty scarce. Harriman has two Jobs. He is director of the Mutual Security Aeencv which will spend more than 8.000.000,000 dollars on foreign aid in the next 12 months or less. Harrlman also is boss of the less well known temporary council com mittee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The finance or eco nomic ministers of the other 11 NATO members are on Harriman’s committee. It was set up When the NATO nations met In Ottawa In September. This committee was bom when kev NATO members at Ottawa delicately let the Americans know j they were running a little short— : and did Washington have some I spare dollars lying around or a j line of credit which would send some cargo vessels hurryinfl to Eu ! roge with raw materials, and such. ! Secretary of Treasury John W. I Snyder said he was short, too. He ! said he was just then asking Con gress to hike taxes in the hope of getting the Treasury part way out of the red. DISLIKE SNYDER A lot of European statesmen think Snyder Is a direct descendant of Scrooge and Shyloek. But Harri man is over hew to study What he calls the “realities.” The realities are that our two biggest partners in NATO defense of the West against communism cannot rr won’t meet their full defense promises. The British are going broke. If we don’t help them they probably have had ~ it. France is basically richer but tangled in inflation. Both currencies are slipping. The French franc is supposed to be worth a little more than one third of a penny—but It Isn't. So Harriman Is the man of the hour, the day and, maybe, the next year or so if American taxpayers* can take it. He and Elsenhower make a terrific pair. Ike can say! what is the least contribution we can accept from our allies. Harri man can say how much more we must give them to make their con tribution possible.’ ACHESON FRONT MAN Secretary of State Dean Acheson , is front man for our United Nations , delegation to the Assembly opening here tomorrow. Warren Austin is our permanent U. N. representa tive with ambassadorial rank. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is here, too. And Phillip K. Jessup. The Crillon Ho tel is jammed with distinguished . Americans. Couldn’t get a room there, myself. The Crillon big shots will get the headlines. They have peace plans, good will statements, surprise pack ages and pledges of eternal friend ship, even If they must march to death to defend it. Harriman ha* no U. N. badge. But all doors are open to him. I don’t know what he calls Britain’s prime minister. But Winnie calls him Averell. He has Harry Hopkins’ old spot as closest man to the President with a lot of money to spend and power. More than seven centuries ago, Korea was compelled by Mongol conquerors to provide a fleet of ships for an invasion of Japan, the National Geographic Society notes.

The review of their similiarlty of opinions, however, was ndt com plete—the area of comparison was . substantially reduced by the fail- I ure of Senator Willis Smith to ! vote on nearly one-third of the roll calls. Such disagreement as did exist between Smith and Senator Clyde R.
