Off-the-Record Talks
Resume On Exchange
Of Prisoners of War
MUNSAN, (TP) — Allied and
Communist staff officers, after a
two week recess, Saturday re
opened off-the-record talks on
how to exchange prisoners of the
Korean war.
There was no indication whe
ther a break was imminent in the
long deadlock over the Allied de
mand for voluntary repatriation.
Some observers, however, indi
cated a compromise formula was
in the works. Both sides were be
lieved to have spent the past two
weeks overhauling prisoner rost
ers and bringing them up to date.
The U.N. Command said it was
ready for another try to break
the deadlock. The Communists had
pressed twice for speedy resump
tion o*f the secret talks.

GERMAN BABY NAMES
NEED OFFICIAL OK
FRANKFURT, Germany, (JP)—
Having a baby in Germany is
easy on the father until it comes
time to pick out a name.
A proud father can’t just select
any name he wants. Officialdom
has its own rigid ideas. If you
don’t register your child there less
than a week after birth, it doesn’t
exist — legally. When you make
orut your income tax declaration,
you’re still “married without
children.”
They say a child should have
a name well recognized in Ger
many and fit for christening.
They have a little book contain
ing all the names which the state
allows.

The acquiring of an education
can be compared to the building
of a large ship. If every member
and section of a ship is built of
the very best material and assem
bled in accordance with sound en
gineering science, you will have
a strong ship which can ply the
oceans with very little danger of
sinking.
If an iceberg is struck when
the ship is crossing the North
Atlantic, perhaps only one com
partment would be damaged and
the well-built ship would sail on
to its destination.
Likewise, if we build our ship
of education of the very best mat
erial, we will not sink when we
meet obstacles in life. The mem
bers Of our ship will he good
training and study of our lessons
in English, mathematics, history,
science and other studies.
Let us make good- use of our
time by studying diligently.

(Forty years ago this week, the
mightiest ship ever afloat, the Ti
tanic, was speeding across the At
lantic, setting a new world’s rec
ord. All of a sudden there was a
coolness in the air, followed by
a big crash. The ship had struck
an iceberg and was sinking.
The orchestra changed from
dance music to “Nearer, My God,
to Thee’’ until the waters en
gulfed them. Many lost their lives
because the ship was not com
posed of best material, nor was
it constructed on the best prin
ciples of engineering science.

Richard E. Lee
Republican Candidate
for
House of Representatives
At The
Primary Election, April 29th
You, the taxpayers of the Second
Division, are vitally interested in
having your tax dollars put to their
most effective use by our govern
ment.
You, as voters, are also interested
in obtaining people representing you
at the Territorial Legislature who are
QUALIFIED to work and fight for
your individual interests. I want to
see the Second Division given its
proportionate amount of tax monies
rightfully due it for the constructive
development of the economy of our
country.
In the 37 years I have lived in the „
Second Division and during the 17
years I have been actively engaged
in mining as manager of Lee Broth
ers Dredging Co., I have acquired a
knowledge and understanding of the
needs of our country and our people
which, in my opinion, qualifies me
completely to assume the responsi
bilities of good legislation and legis
lative procedure.
When you go to the polls on
April 29th ask for the Repub
lican ballot, the "Eisenhower
Parly" ballot; and please re
member, your vote for me for
representative will be appreci
ated. Thank you.
