YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
When a father dies, there is
not one death — but three
•'deaths” . . . the husband,
the father, and his earned
income. Nothing can replace
the husband or the father in
the hearts of his family. But
life insurance can at least
partially replace his income.
This is particularly import
ant during the first year or
two, when the family is going
through the difficult -read
justment period following the
death of the income-earner.
Many men arrange to have
their regular income continued
to the family during this
period, It is done through
life insurance. Let me tell
you about it.

KOREA MAJOR
ERROR BELIEF
OE KREMLIN
j * f -I I
J WASHINGTON, July 7—(tfi—W.
Averill Harriman said today he be
lieves the Kremlin now regards the
Communist attack in Korea as "a
major blunder.''
"They expected to attain an easy
victory, demoralize the United Na
tions. and discredit American lead
ership,” he said. "Not only has this
! plan failed, but the aggression in
' Korea has aroused our country and
our allies to undertake greatly ac
500.000. 000 foreign aid program
fense.”
Harriman, former Ambassador to
Moscow and now a special assist
ant to President Truman, was be
fore the House Foreign Affairs
Committee to urge prompt enact
ment of the administration’s $8,
500.000. 000 <b) foreign aid program
for 1952. The money would go for
both economic and arms aid.
Relaxation Dangerous
Harriman said one danger con
fronting the United States is in
flation, but “perhaps the greatest
danger of all is the dangeb of re
laxation” in contemplation of a
Korean truce.
He added:
“The Kremlin would like nothing
better than to have us think that
we can safely relax, while the
Soviets continue to build their
military strength."
On the other side of the Capitol,
Senator Sparkman iD.-Ala.) said
in an interview that the United
States must not accept any peace
agreement that makes the 38th
parallel an International boundary
(between two Koreas.

ROD DARNELL LANDS
RECORD KING SALMON
Rod Darnell proved himself a
skillful angler Sunday, despite a
line tangled with that of Tom Pet
rich who^iad also hooked a sal
mon and the anchor line. He
landed a 68-pound king salmon In
jvicinity of North Island.
It is believed that the fish is the
largest to be landed on sports
tackle in this area. Rod was using
a 15-pound test leader and 20
pound test nylon line. It took him
only an hour and a half to land
the king.
However, not satisfied, Rod went
on to land a 52-pounder and a
4S-pounder, just to prove his skill,
while Mrs. Darnell and Mr. and
Mrs. Petrich looked on.
“Why couldn't it happen during
the Salmon Derby?” Rod sighed.
