Peace Plans Of Local
Industrialist Getting
National Recognition
Heinz Rollman, Waynesville in
: dustriaiist. is getting much en
couragement from his suggestions
form a world neaee plan, which he
^ umhitli d hy letter In every mem
oer <if Congress, recently.
Besides a number of favorable
comments from Congressmen. Mr,
(tollman's plan made a profound
impression on Mrs. Eleanor Roosc
| velt, as she wrote of the matter in
J her daily column. "My Day" which
is published throughout the nation.
The following is an excerpt from
her column, as it appeared in The
' Raleigh News and Observer recent
ly:
"I received a message today,
which was written by a business
man in North Carolina and which
he is sending to the members of
our Congress. He tells them how
important the* are in the world
and what they could do to better
the world .situation and to conquer
Communism by simply giving the
people of the world so much satis- I
faction in their daily lives that
they should not want to change to
fall for Communistic promises.
Some of you will remember that
the late Senator Brien MCMahon
suggested a very hold plan to the
Senate tor spending not millions
but billions tf} help people help
themselves the world over. I think
he set the sum at fifty billion dol
lars. My correspondent Mr. H. W.
(tollman of W iynesvllle N. C., sug
gests that we keep up our military
potential but that we cut down to
the essentials of parity with the
Soviet Union, including, of course.
