A ii«nxt 1, 1953 Max lie t.ailed To Account An iris>, potato grower, facing bankruptcy at the free market last spring, declared he did not believe in the “republican form” of government. Since we have a republican form of gov ernment no matter which of the major poli tical parties are in power, the potato grow er is throwing himself wide open for inves tigation bv McCarthy. Of co-urs'e. the farmer, after fasting fi nancial reverses and after appraising the capers of the Eisenhower administration the past six months, meant he did not believe in the Republican Party, he it headed by Hoover or Eisenhower. Team Dissension There's a bit of dissension within the new team up in Washington When President Eisenhower was warm- | ing up at his press conference one morning he told the reporters that a billion-dollar re duction in foreign aid was too great and would be harmful to American security. When the President's congressional team went into action later the mnu day, the billion dollars were lopped off the calen dar. It seems as if the President and McCarthy have worked together more closely than the President and other members of the con gressional team. One reason why some men don’t get far j is that they sidestep opportunity in order j to shake hands with temptation. .4 Perfect Fit Well, well. Vice President Dickie Nixon hit the jackpot and fitted himself into the role a short time ago. Mr. Nixon lined up with the Boy Scouts during their jamboree out in California recently. Well, the VP is courting them young, but - it is ! tk-etv" i'hs.y trw* nrmifr'-dT-wp peared from the political scene before that group is eligible to vote. But getting back to Mr. Nixon's perfect role, the El Monte (Calif.) Herald really brought the forgotten character out of the Washington closet and put him in the spot light when it said: “The presence of Vice President Richard Nixon at the Boy Scout jamboree on the Irvine Ranch last week, and the impressive and important par* that he took in the cere monies. and remaining overnight, sleeping in a pup tent, eating with the Scouts and becoming one of them, brings to mind that important place which the Vice President now is playing in national affairs.” It is good that the Vice President went to the jamboree, and it is good to know that he fitted in so well in the surroundings there. If anybody steals your thunder, make some more. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Dodge TEXT: “To be positive is to be mistaken at the top of one’s voice.” —Ambrose Bierce. During a heavy Spring rain, a lunatic peered over an asylum wall. He saw a man fishing at a nearby stream and called down to the drenched fisherman, “Caught anything?” The man on the river bank looked up and shook his head, glumly. “How long you been there?” the inmate demanded. “Three hours,” was the answer. The lun atic grinned hospitably arid called back, “Come on inside.” * * * Most of us do things which would be con sidered insane by many others. Yet we have reasons for doing them which are en tirely satisfactory to us. The other fellow cannot know our hearts and minds._ We are right in resenting his judgment of our actions. And he is just as right in resenting our demand that he measure himself against our standards. Even God does not judge a man until the end of his days. What right, then, has any one of us to force someone else to conform to the standards we set for ourselves? In another world, or in another country, our “fishing in the rain” may be considered quite insane. _ [ NOW—Here In Windsor 1 I I We Bay Livestock Daily TOP PRICES i f 1 igSfc V-A. 4wV | Graphic Slory Of Armistice Ending The Korean War —«.— (Continued from Page One) mistake. —ii -vie ed softly tu himself, shaking his head in disbelief. Most of the action following the cease file was on the Com munists' side. They quickly aired the news and congratulations about tile war’s end over their propaganda loud-speakfcrs. Cin der orders, the Allies did not re ply individual tragedies continued to the final minutes, although the casualties were light on the lust day and night. N* Partols Sent (hit No Americans patrols were sent out the final night. It is there fore. not known if the Commu nists sent out patrols. One strange reaction is the in ability to break long routine habits. Even going to the movies is one. An outdoor movie being shown close behind the lines did not even interrupt its program when the big moment arrived. No one seemed to feel that any thing was worth halting a Holly wood musical. The night passed like a strange dream for many men. Happiness would come later. So would new problems. Once the men fully realize the fighting is over and after tem porary changes are finished, the great problem will be to prevent boredom and a letdown in mo rale during the long postarmi stice waiting. The United Nations is pre pared tu counter the threat with well-planned training and relax ation programs for troops. The morning of July 28 found United Nations units commenc ing carefully prepared procedures for withdrawing one and one fourth miles from the battlefront, according to terms of the truce.” To Salvage Equipment But the memory of the war remained vivid. One small unit was asked to turn in their flak jackets, but the men appealed to keep them as a precaution against renewed hostilities. Other wheels began to turn. It was learned that both sides have agreed upon a 45-day in terval for special parties to re turn to the old f'-ont-line posi tions for demolition and salvage purposes. Many Allied positions due to be abandoned under the draw j back ruie were prepared at a cost of millions of dollars The aim is to salvage as much tim | her, wire add structual equip ] merit as possible. Much of it can j not be moved at once. I It also was learned that the UN plans to stretch a double strand of barbed win- along the entire 105-niile front .is a stay back line marking the edge of the neutral corridor. I The wire will bear signs at frequent intervals stating in Eng lish Chinese, and Korean that this is the beginning of the de militarized zone. Allied soldiers are ordered noi to go beyond it , without special authorization. The report was circulated that ROK divisions had received ad vance cease-fire instructions as early as last month. Armistice or ders from UN officials were back i ed up by separate orders from ! President Rhee that the cease fire would be observed by all.

As the first day of the cease fire wore on strange things hap pened. On a hil 400 yards from T-bone Hill, enemy soldiers erected an archway of evergreens. They then yelled across the val ley: TIelo Gil Let s sing together. Let's sing ‘Mv Old Kentucky Ttome.1 " ’ This song, which seems ever popular among soldiers, has been picked up by the enemy and play purposes. American soldiers—many al ready busy with the job of lug ging ammunition to new posi tions,in the rear-were not al 1 owe red to reply, but some paused to watch the enemy moving open ly in daylight. Undaunted by the lack of a reply the Communists sang songs themselves in passable English. No Response From CIs “Let's sing little song togeth er,” they then repeated. Later they urged the GIs to come over to their trenches with their cameras and take pictures. “We will walk through this arch of peace as brothers,” they proclaimed. There was no re sponse from the Americans. For many Americans the first postarmistice day became a day of heavy physical labor. Moving equipment up and down steep hills in the broiling sun was at 1 least not subject to enemy fire. But the men continued to wear flak jackets and helmets, alert for any Communist move. Each battalion, meanwhile, has a special trouble crew ready to rush to investigate any truce violation. So far they have had no calls. But until things settle down a lot iom'e. ,i,t remains 'an uneasy armistice.
