Engineers say that the bridge 'should be lengthened, which? improvement would lessen mood damage along the highway.

Wedemeyer \has lined up with Gen. MacArthur on Korean policy. He supports most of MacArthur’s recommendations for conducting the Korean war anq goes a few steps farther by suggesting that the United States should break diplomatic relations with Russia and bdmb Manchuria. If MacArthur ever Is ejected president, Wedemeyer might be his choice for secretary of state. If Wedemeyer followed a policy in keeping with his testimony, the country wouldn’t have much choice between a small and a big war. ) .. i ' . , o o—* — \ ' Faith To Rebuild:— In a South Korean* village laid waste by the war, the people have started to rebuild their mud • plastered, straw - thatched houses with United Nations aid. The U.N. Civil Assistance command will supply the materials for such projects and the people themselves will provide the elements which make homes of houses —faith and courage. The aid that the UN may give to these people who lost their homes in the fight against Red aggression is well deserved. It will serve to let the world know that the j free nations are bound together not only to resist aggression bu( also in a desire to-help those who suffer in the fight. If it is : true that the war in Korea is allowing the frt e world to gain tim» to ggt ready to meet any at-; tack that may come from the aggressor. theft such help is a duty. Putting up a house anywhere is always an act which denotes a certain amount of faith in the world. Rebuilding one that has been battered down is an act which says that faith has survived the battering. Men do not erect cathedrals alone symbols of their | great belief. Sometimes houses of mud and straw can be bit as eloquent.
