MARKS FIELD RUNWAYS
The NWA Chamber of Commerce, Which has had
its hands full of justifiable complaints, during recent
months for prolonged and unnecessary vacancies in the
higher offices of our district court, took time at its
last meeting to hand out words of praise to the local
personnel of the C.A.A. for the promptness with which
they removed the snow from the airport after the
snowstorm.
Airplane schedules were quickly restored and the
backlog of passengers and freight promptly dispatched
due to this efficiency.
If work is started early in the spring to restore
the runways of MFAB with the same efficiency, not
only the Chamber of Commerce, but all the airlines,
will join in praise for the accomplishment of a project
that is long overdue and becoming more costly with
every month of further delay.
West Disarmament
Plan Unacceptable
To The Russians
PARIS, (/PI — Soviet foreign
minister Andrei Vishinsky de
manded Saturday that the West
ern Powers rewrite their disarma
ment plan almost completely to
make it acceptable to Russia.
Spokesmen for Britain and the
United States immediately ex
pressed disappointment and dis
couragement with Vishinsky’s
long-awaited reply to the arms re
ductions plan submitted by the
Western Big Three. Some said,
however, that they thought Vish
insky had left the docfr open for
negotiation.
The Soviet demands for re
vision of the Western plan were
incorporated in a series of 12
amendments submitted to the 60
member United Nations Assem
bly political committee. The
amendments, to all practical pur
poses, would transform the West
ern plan into one the Russians
submitted two weeks ago.

Veep Celebrates 74th
Birthday By Firing Shell
At Chinese Reds in Korea
CENTRAL FRONT, Korea, (/P)
—Vice President Alben Barkley
celebrated his 74th birthday Sat
urday by firing an autographed
artillery shell at the Chinese
Reds.
He said he was coming through
his long trip to Korea “in good
shape,” then added “it’s not too
rough.”
When he landed at the forward
airstrip of the U.S. 25th Division,
the division band broke into
“Happy Birthday To You.”
“I expect to live to 105, espec
ially after this exhilerating trip
to Korea,” he said with a broad
grin.
handling the disarmament debate
in the political committee now,
made this comment:
“We are very much disappoint
ed. Mr. Vishinsky still seems to
prefer denunciation to negotia
tion. Secretary Acheson’s speech
made it clear that we desire to
forsake invective and go to work.
We will procede in the hope that
progress toward a genuine system
of disarmament is still possible.”
| Senator Taft
Describes as False
Money Elected
Him In 1950
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Senator
Taft described as “completely
false” today the assertion by
President Truman that “special
interests” poured money into
Ohio in 1950 to re-elect Taft to
the Senate.
Testifying at a Senate hearing,
Taft said it was his opponents, not
his supporters, who poured out
the funds in the campaign. He
added:
“They were guilty of excessive
use of money, pouring funds into
Ohio from every state in the
union—they used false front or
ganizations, they sent carpetbag
gers and outside organizers into
Ohio, they based their campaign
on lies and misrepresentations
about by personal life.”

Agrees To Private
Disarmament Talk

Taft said he welcomed the in

against him.
President Truman said in a re
cent address to the National Dem

“special interests poured money

and “now they will be thinking
that if money can win an election
in Ohio, maybe money can win

Ambassador Philip C. Jessup
later told the committee the U.S.
was ready to do this if the com
mittee voted it. He pointed out,
however, that the deputy foreign
ministers of the four countries
had tried for 14 weeks last spring
to reach such an agreement with
out success.
Jessup challenged the conten
tion of some of the small powers
that it was useless for the As
sembly to continue discussion of
disarmament without prior agree
ment among the Big Four.
In the first American answer to
Vishinsky’s major policy address
last Saturday, Jessup went on to
stress the importance the western
powers put cm a “foolproof” sys
tem of verifying arms disclosures
made by the powers. He insisted
that under the Soviet plan the
world would just have to take the
word of various countries that
they were disarming.
