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

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:

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.

\ :
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.

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.

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.
None of the big nations, including

A terrible thing happened out
West, reported in the papers. 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.
