Big Four Problems At Summit Meet In July

(Editor's note: This is the see-, ond of five articles by one of the | moat widely experienced corresin Washington setting forth the problems the free wnrtd faces at the Big Four top level meeting in Geneva next month.) By HOWARD HANDLEMAN WASHINGTON (INS) - There is no agreed starting date of the . cold war and U. 8. officials fpre- «* see no definite end date. The best they hope from the meeting “at the summit* between President Eisenhower and the chiefs of government of Russia. Britain and France starting July' 18 in Geneva is agreement that will keep the cold war from going into the shooting stage. An understanding of the fundamental differences between East and West which have been demonstrated over and over for more than a decade lie* behind that cautious assessment of the Geneva prospects. , Disagreements between Russia *. and the Western Allies were evident before the end of World War 11. but leaders in the West then hoped that they were disagreements among allies to be worked out. The Yalta conference in the last winter of the war showed clearly that the disagreements over such issues as Germany and Poland were deep and fundamental. It is considered significant in • Washington now that the last message President Roosevelt wrote ■before his death was one to prime minister Sir Winston Churchill which urged a stronger stand for free elections in Poland. But the time was not considered right for such a position. Public opinion in the western world was looking forward to victory over Hitler, peace and a return to normality and an end of tensions. The Russians were honored allies and, as one official put it. “public opinion would not have stood for a blunt policy which showed a lack of trust in the Soviet Union." In addition, it is felt now that nothing much could have been done in Poland.. The Red army was there, in position to* control • any "free” voting. How the cold war developed and circled the globe, and why U. S. officials expect no grand EastWestsettlement at Geneva, is shown in this calendar of events: 1945 — The Soviets demanded, and got. peace treaties which lent a cloak of legality to extension of Communist political power over the Eastern European Satellites. The Soviets handed ovef captured Japanese arms to the Chinese Communists in Manchuria. The Soviets set up a Communist government in North Korea. —l946 —The Sbviets tried to take Azerbaijan province from Iran in a yearlong struggle that finally failed. President Truman threatened to move U.S. troops into the country. ’* ..j The Soviets-blocked efforts to unify Korea. The Soviets frustrated efforts to reach allied agreements in Aus-

Gary Moves Against Removal Os Sand Resourced Os Sand At Dangerous Low GARY.rlnd, (iSlSj— Gary Is looking for a sandman. The city'a reputation for steal production mounts but its sand supply sinks—more than one million cubic yards having been excavated and sold at 15 cents a cubic yard this year. Principal consumers of this gritty diet are the tri-state highway and the Indiana toll road in addition to the manufacturing concerns filling'for construction. One man is said to have sold 1150.000 of sand taken from a piece of tax delinquent property Ua bought for $20,000. Tax-sold land is the primary source of sand.

that has reduced the supply of the natural resource to dangerous lows and left many potential residential areas pitted beyond repair. First the city has passed an ordinance requiring a $5 permit for each parcel of land to be sandmined and a $5,000 bond to protect the city against damages and violations. Mayor Peter Mandlclt who ordered one excavation stopped near u public school, has ordered all owners of sand pits at water table level that have become stagnant ponds filled with mosquitoes to fill the ponds and “end a public nuisance.” And the other factor working in favor of the area* is the recent approval of dredging operations to take two million yards of sand from the bottom of Wolf Lake for the toll road. This will conserve the dwindling surface supply of sand and also improve the lake. If you have something to sell or rooms Tor rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.
