DULLES REPORT (Continued from Page One) en at Paris by diplomatic representatives of participating nations _. »» It was recalled that after the I Berlin conference ended early this | year, the President, in a radio-' television talk, called Dulles . the greatest secretary of state in his memoray. The White House action in honoring Dulles also dramatized —ten days before the congressional elections—that Republican foreign policy is succeeding. President Eisenhower hailed the results of the Paris talks and otlier developments on the international scene as bringing the world close to the day when peace definitely will be “within our grasp." There were also strong iadica .tiohp. that the success-of the- European conference signaled a new U. S. peace offensive to end the cold war. However/ even officials fairly high in the administration were not certain what course the American offensive wgqJd lake, but the Paris agreement was regarded as a springboard for launching a campaign. ULLMAN GOES (Continued from Page One) publicans who will give the President a larger working majority in both houses of congress.” The cabinet member touched on the delicate unemployment issue, maintaining that'employment this year is the highest of any peacetime year in history. He added that in 10 peacetime years under the Democrats, joblessness was higher than it is now. ranging from 7,700,000 idle in L 987 to between nine and 12 millions in other years. Humphrey said the Democrats deliberately planned and practiced inflation for 20 years, thereby cutting the purchasing value of the dollar almost in half. Ike has stopped this inflation, according to the speaker. Humphrey said the recent Republican congress gave the people the largest single tax cut in history. and that it affeeted every citizen. At the same time, social security and jobless benefits were hiked. The nation's goal is peace, but it must remain mllitarilv strong according to the speaker, who add- ■ •<: - ISSWf Tonight & Tuesday Cinemascope & Color! “HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE” Marilyn Monros, Betty Grable, Laursn Bacall, Wm.

Considers Proposal To Recall Currency Ferret Out Billion From Tax Evaders INDUNABSSLIS (INS) — Recall of .all United States currency toferret out an estimated billion dollars in evaded income taxes is a proposal being considered today by Senator Homer E. Capehart (RInd.) chairman of the senate banking committee. Capehart said that such a move would compel tax evaders to remove their cash from .safety deposit boxes and elsewhere and make a record which could be checked by income tax officials. The public would be given ample time to surrender the old currency, totaling about $32 billion, and receive new bills. The money would be submitted to specified banks for exchange and they would record the amounts, records of which would be scanned by the tax agents. Capehart said a bill he may introduce embodying the proposal would contain a safeguard “to protect our gold reserves from,foreign nations.” A woman can bear up under anything when she wears a new hat. —U.

Thirty-four other doctors, who have practiced medicine for 50 years or more, also wilPbe honored.

The tribute came during the course of the Indiana Republican editorial association's fall meeting this week end in Indlaaapqlis. Willis, who was in congress from 1941 to 1947, was compared to the late Senator Robert A. Taft, his personal friend, for his quiet acceptance of a lesser rote in politics “for the good of the party.” That praise was voiced by his former secretary. William D. Murray. Lawrenceburg Press publisher. who also read a letter from Senator George D. Aiken (R-Vt.) calling Ray Willis, ‘‘the most human member” of congress he had ever known. Willis, a newspaper publisher at Angola, made one indirect reference to the 1946 GOP state convention which denied him a return to Washington he had expected to get. He recalled the fact that he was standing under the grandstand at the fairgrounds after the moment of big disappointment when a friend, the late Paul Bausman. of Washington, Ind., comforted him with a' single phrase: “Ray I'm sorry.” 1 But beyond that. Willis, who said he got his first introduction to politics by stlnding on bound volumes of the Congressional Record in order to reach type cases in a print shop, had nothing but loyal advice for the GOP. He urged the Republicans to do all they could to revive “two-party balance” and accused the Democrats of making q political issue out of Communism, which the editor said should be a moral issue.

In farm prices was somewhat larger *than had been expected, farm income for the fall months may hold up fairly well in view of the large crop of soybeans and the volume of livestock which are expected to come to market in the next two or three months." Increased Buller Supplies Expected Increase Despite Reduced Output * WASHINGTON (INS) — More butter will be available in the U.S. in 1954-55 thtyi during last year, despite a slight cut in production. This is the prediction of Agriculture department specialists. They explain that despite reduced butter production during the current year, stocks are much greater than last year, and, therefore more butter will be available. The experts say. milk output during the coming year will be about the same as in 1953-54. They add. however, that more butterfat will be consumed in fluid milk and. through other outlets, because of the annual increase iu population. Total supplies of all food fata in the coming year are expected to be about 11,200.000,000 pounds —about the same as the peak supplies of this'past year. The department predicts that production of food fats for the year is expected to moderately exceed domestic use and commercial exports. MONMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL P. T. A.
