Safety FOR POSTERITY Dear Editor: At Babson Park (Wellesley), Mas- sachusetts, the largest revolving globe of the world in the world, is near completion. This has been made possible with funds furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Roger W. Babson. This Great Globe shows the earth as One World, floating in space, as it would look from a distance of ap- proximately 5,000 miles. Every con- tinent, country, and significant topographical feature is accurately shown on the great steel planet. The Globe, having a diameter of 28 feet, represents the world on a scale of approximately 24 miles to the inch. Weighing 25 tons, the Globe is balanced on a 6 ton shaft on a movable 10 ton carriage on top of a concrete foundation de- ‘signed to carry a load of 75 tons. Under the base of this Great Globe Mr. Babson desires to deposit a copy of each of the 405 newspapers having his weekly column—to the publishers of these papers he feels deeply indebted. These newspapers will be put in a sealed concrete vault with instructions to be opened up 100 years hence. Should you desire to have your newspaper, send us by first-class mail a copy of The Dallas Post. It will be deposited in the vault and buried under the base of the larg- est revolving globe of the world in the world. Please address copy of paper to: Mr. Lewis W. Mustard, III, Director of Archives, Babson Park 57, Mas- sachusetts. Very Truly Yours, Publishers Financial Bureau Lewis W. Mustard, III Director of Archives Valve . . . JACK VISITS WALES The following interesting letter was written by Jack Griffith, now in the armed forces in Europe, to his parents Mr. and Mrs. Ossie Grif- fiths, Demunds Road, Dallas: Wyngddfa, Pontlfanfrath Monmouthshire, S. Wales Dear Mom and Dad, I arrived at Margetta’s today around 11 and it was some trip—I started out Sunday morn by flying from Wisbaden to Paris. We got into Orly Field outside Paris at 2 in the afternoon and there were no planes to England ’til Monday morning. So we had to stay over night in “Gay Paree”’. We took a bus from Orly Field to Paris, got a room at the ‘Hotel De Versailles” and it only cost $2.75 for two. We changed from uniforms to civies and went out to see the sights. Well, we saw quite a few and at night after a French meal, went to see Billy Graham, the Evangelist. After that we headed for the hotel because we were to be out at the field at 6:30. When we landed, I found we were only eighty miles from Margetta, so off I went to Wales by bus because of the train strike. I stayed overnight in New- port, England, and in the morning caught another bus to Pontllanforth and got here at eleven. They were so glad to see me, and we have been visiting all day. I've met all the neighbors too, I'm the “Welsh boy from America’, who has come to see them. The house is terrific and just loaded with antiques. You should see it. I'm going to see if I can get you some brassware while I'm here! Tomorrow it’s off to meet more people and see more sights. They are treating me like a Looking at -V With GEORGE A. and EDITH ANN BURKE \ : VYACHESLOV MOLOTOV has agreed to an interview on ‘Face the Nation” which means he will face a battery of newsmen and their probing questions before a nation- wide radio’ and television audience. Since the cold war no Soviet dip- lomat of top rank has consented to appear before a group of American newsmen for questioning. The efforts to sign up Foreign Minister Molotov had their inception months ago when an invitation to him was extended through the Soviet Embassy in Washington. This was followed with a cable to Moscow. Then an. explanation to the Soviet Embassy how the pro- gram ‘Face the Nation” works . On June 10, Irving Gitlin, CBS Director of Public Affairs, wired the Soviet delegation to the U. S., con- firming the invitation. On the eve of the arrival of the S. S. Queen Elizabeth in New York Harbor last Tuesday, June 14, CBS again contacted the Soviet Embassy, repeating the invitation, and again wired Mr. Molotov aboard the Queen. On Wednesday, Miss Beryl Den- zer, a member of the production staff of “Face the Nation,” was sent to meet the ship, with instructions to deliver the invitation personally to the Foreign Minister. It was a disappointing trip for her, she was unable to see Molotov and his staff would not deliver the missive. Final- ly she found a TASS reporter who said he would be glad to pass along When the ship docked Mr. Molo- tov was still unapproachable. She called producer Ayers in Washing- ton to report her mission an appar- ent failure. But when she called in later to report to CBS Public Affairs in New York, she learned that Molo- tov had accepted the invitation. The broadcast will originate from San Francisco and will be broadcast on CBS-TV Sunday, June 26, 4:30- 5:00 p.m. EST.

Love, Jack IN APPRECIATION Dear Mr. Risley: May I take up a little space to say “Thank you for all the many kindnesses shown the Beaumont Schools in your paper this past school year”? Appreciatively yours, Wm. A. Austin The best way to market his farm products, Ben Pickering found, was to build a neat roadside stand at the edge of his farm, and sell as ‘Pro- duce Direct From The Farm.” There was plenty of parking space for his customers, and he did well. Until the Highway Department widened the road in front of his stand, taking 10 feet off Ben's property, and lowering the roadway 5 ft. His front door, when opened, stuck out over and above the new highway, and his parking space was gone. The customers could not drive onto his property. The State offered to pay Ben for the 10 feet they had taken away. Ben explained to the State’s examiner that his entire roadside market had been taken away and he asked for the value of his entire farm. The State refused to pay, and Ben took them to court. “The entire investment in my farm,” he argued, “is now complete- ly lost, because I bought it so that I could sell the produce on the road. If I could not sell at my roadside stand, I would not have bought the whole property. I am entitled to more than just the value of 10 feet —my farm is now above and off the road completely. I think I should get the complete value of my place, based on what I paid for it” The lawyer for the State disa- greed ‘The law says,” he argued, “that the State is not responsible for the value of a business lost when a road is re-routed. We are sorry for the loss of Ben Pickering’s mar- ket but in this case, all we should pay is what we took and we only took 10 feet off Pickering’s proper- ty.” If you were on the jury, would you make the State pay Ben Pick- ering for the value of his farm, or just for the 10 feet? / * * * The State had to pay Ben for the value of his entire farm. In discus- sing the decision, the judge said that it was true that if a road were re-routed, the State would not have to pay for anybody’s lost business. But in Ben’s case, the road was not re-routed, and he was damaged be- cause the roadway was dropped. (Based on a 1954 case). Babson Park, Mass., June 16—So many readers are worrying about Formosa and Ching that at this time, when the ‘World's Biggest World” is being dedicated here, I take the liberty of discussing Asiatic problems. First, let me say that I have never met Chiang Kai-Shek, but I have known Madame Chiang, who attended Wellesley College, which is only two miles from the Babson Great Globe and Institute. Shé is a remarkable woman of the highest character and keenest in- sight; she has great influence with him. He was a poor boy when he married her; but a determined type like the late Henry Ford and a very great man. History of Formosa When forecasting the future of any country, it is well to recognize the history as well as the present status. Formosa is a large island, about the size of Massachusetts and Connecticut, lying 100 miles east of China. A mountain range runs north and south, with fertile plains to the west. A combination of heat and moisture gives it marvelous crops; it produces gold, silver, copper, oil, coal, and uranium. Population is about 9,000,000, mostly of old IChin- ese descent. This great island was originally settled by the Dutch, who were ex- pelled by the Chinese during the seventeenth century. It was taken by the Japanese in 1895, who held it until the close of World War II, when, in 1945, it was ceded back to China. Whatever our opinion as to the government of China— whether Nationalistic under Chiang Kai-Shek, or Comumnistic under Chou and his gangsters—we must realize that Formosa inherently is a pant of China. Whether the [Com- munists want to “liberate” it or “en- slave” it is debatable. From a stra- tegic viewpoint, the United States and Japan should not now allow Formosa to get into the clutches of Communist China. Importance of Patience One of the chief lessons I have learned from Madame Chiang Kai- Shek is the importance 'of patience and of avoiding ultimatums. Human nature is the same on both sides of kept in the air” long enough most problems will solve themselves. Many serious problems are solved by leaders becoming older and final- ly dying. (Today’s Bible reading is Psalms, 49th Chapter, which has given me the inspiration to write this column.) To apply the above philosophy to the Formosa problem,—it may be impossible to get a satisfactory set- tlement as long as Chiang Kai-Shek is in the saddle. If, however, he should be removed by death or be- come incapacitated (he is about 70, and has had a hard life), I forecast that President Eisenhower could bring about a settlement which would both insure our position and “save face” for the Peking Govern- ment. What About World War II? Although the present Big Four In- ternational ‘Conference will proba- bly amout to nothing and the pos- sibility of World War III will be hanging over us for many years, yet the best advices are that World War III is not now to be feared.

The story says, “Grief struck the home of Pele Hackney when their boarder left this morning with his work horse and buggy, along with his wife, Pete confided today that he is extremely lonely and heartbrok- en betause of the loss of the affec- tionate female that has been with him for over three years and done a great deal of work. Vigilantes are going ‘0 make a thorough search of the surrounding desert to try to Russia and China, now want World War II; but the threat of using the H-Bomb will constantly be used to blackmail the Democracies. With the cost of manufacturing H-Bombs con- stantly becoming less, every nation will have some, enabling revolu- tionary forces in these nations to get them. Some crazy dictator may try to conquer the world with them; but ,if so, he would be quickly sub- dued. This would be an opportunity for the United Nations to fulfill its real mission. All the above means that our de- fense program may gradually be cur- tailed and this Federal money be used for the building of roads, hos- pitals, schools, and especially the new industry of Urban Redevolp- ment. Uranium oxide is being found almost every where, and could also help stave off the so-called “inevit- able” depression. I still believe in the business cycle; but its duration is now determined by politics. There- fore, let us forget the troubles which we read so much about. Let us concentrate on our own business and make better products for less money and sell them all over the world. This is the most practical kind of patriotic service we can ren- der.
