*»—■■■" ' " «"■ This country is getting about as far in telling Brasil to cut the .price of coffee, as Brasil would get in protesting about the price of mink coats in the United States. It seems that the Brasilian coffee barons are going to percolate while the fire is hot 0 0 ft* United States is without equal in th* world when it comes to production of electric power. Last year 42 percent of the world’s electricity was produced in this country, four times as much as that turned out in Rus- • sia. And with electric power goes power of a more material type. A coal mine under Carbondale, Pa., has been burning nearly 14 years and the city’s engineer recommends the rasing of 300 buildings located over the burning underground furnace. It is a wonder that engineering skill hasn't been used in tapping the mine for gas. The plan is to vacate the site and then dig a ditch toward the center of the fire, allowing it to burn itself out. —-0 0— — With the formal filing of his candidacy Gov. Frank J. Lausche has decided to make his fifth race tor governor of Ohio. He is unopposed for the Democrat nomination and no doubt will do more to keep the Buckeye state In the Democrat column than any othes man nominated. He could help swing the election in favor of Ren.

stant death in an unusual accident when an antenna that he was erecting fell across a high •tension electric wire. He was electrocuted. Our cities seem to be lurking death traps. 0 , President Eisenhower has now given official information on the explosion of the first hydrogen bomb at Eniwetok in 1952. The blast of the world's most deadly weapon wiped out an island in the Pacific. The presidential explanation of the H-bomb test confirms the reports made by sailors aboard ship who witnessed the explosion. They wrote home that the bomb blew the island right out of the sea. This country may be on a war basis and great sums are being spent for defense, but in the long run development of A-and-H bombs may be the guarantee against attack 'and .all-out war. Would any country be fool enough to attack the United States? —-0 -0- — The American - South- Korean mutual defense pact is a reality. Some people have asked whatuse it would be for South Korea to come to our assistance if we were attacked, but the fact of the matter is that we do stand to gain as much from the agreement as does the Republic of Korea. The pact give* the right to station troops in South Korea and in a sense makes that land as much a part of our defense scheme as Alaska. The existence of the pact will deter future aggressors from actions like that of the North Korean war. More than anything else, however, the pact lets the world know that we do not intend to ignore aggression anywhere.
