Says Economic Aid Musi Be Continued Gov. Craig Speaks At Kiwanis Parley SAN FRANCISCO (U>) —Gov. George N. Craig of Indiana said today the UniJed States will have to extend economic aid to other countries for an indefinite period in order to assure the leadership of the free world. In a speech prepared for delivery to the 41st annual convention of KiwanU International. Craig warned America must not relax its vigllancb against the threat of Coin munism despite recent Russian overtures. The American taxpayer has.of course, every right to be weary of carying the costly burden of large-scale foreign aid.” he said. “But the cost of this assistance Is, it seems to me. a small part of our national income to devote to the struggle against the spread of world Communism.” He pointed out that in the past year Russia has been extending hid to so-called neutral nations in a “clear imitation'' of our own Marshall plan. “And so the economic phase of the cold war has today become the paramount phase of the cold war,” he said. ~ - “To put it another way. the manner in which the under-de-veloped nations align themselves economically—with either the tree world or the Communist world—may determine the final winner in the cold war.” Craig said the problem of win ning support from underdeveloped nations is “just as important to our long terra interest and se- ; curity as was the economic and military welfare of the western European countries under tbe Marshall plan.” Plastic Poles NEW YORK (UP) — Plastic telephone poles made of glass-re-Jnforcdd tesin will come into use this year.

Boom For Symington Is Growing Daily Missouri Senator Democrat Darkhorse WASHINGTON (UP) — The boom U beginning to make enough noise to ne neariii distinctly throughout thb Democratic part?. Stuart Symington is the 55-year-old junior senatoi; from Missouri, born in Massachusetts, reared mostly hi Maryland and resident of the state he represents in conjie*B f°r the past dozen, years. He's completing the fourth year of. his first senatq term, a fact which makes more >•€ markable the prominent position Symington holds in 1955 Democratic presiden-tial-politics. The senator has been getting some of what are known as the political His best piece of luck so fatwas Truman administration service as assistant secretary of wat for air and. later,, as first secretary of tne separate air force. Symington is as well grounded as any civilian on national defense in general and air detense in particular. He's chairman of a senate subcommittee which has been investigating air defense policies to the embarrassment of the Eisenhower administration. That investigation will continue up to national convention time, making campaign ammuni tiqtt for whomever the Democrats do nominate. It is Symingtons good luck again that the Deinoerstfc party fa planning to make Eisenhower defense policies a major issue in the 1956 presidential campaign. The senate appropriations committee put some fire into that dispute Monday by voting to. hike President Eisenhower's air defense spending by a fat bißion. Most and perhaps all of Symington's congressional colleagues pr<> bably would Hint the ator from Missouri would be in the best position of any likely Democratic ' nominee to challenge President Eisenhower publicly on national defense. Mr. Eisenhower was a glamorous. victorious general, Symington, however, was a top defense official The spo.t which Symiugtdn viewed natickial defense had some advantages oyer the viewpoint of a man in uniform. Symington served briefly as chairman of the national security resources board and was put in charge of the reconstruction finance corporation after revelation of questionable practices there compelled President Truman t, order a clean-up. The senator w.aa a successful inHustiiklist before coming to Washington. This background would not project Symington far into the 195 K presidential situation but for some unrelated situations. With the prbsidentiui primaries out of the

Edward A. Bennett

way, Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois leads the Democratic pack. Sen.' Estes Kefauver. of Tennessee, who successfully challenged Stevenson, was hadly mauled in the primary stretch, especially <n California. A good many practical politicians now count Kefauver as a possible vice presidential nominee, rib more than that. ’Gov. Averell Harrtmari, of New York. now is rated the No. 2 contender tor-* the Democratic presidential nomination. Powerful force's, {deluding Mr.' Truman, apparently are at work to block Stevenson’s 'nomination. Mr Truman is counted among the Harriman master-strategists. Powerful forces — eonservate Southerners—are at work to stop Harriman. The governor is ;i socalled Immoderate Democrat, a 100 per cent Truman fair dealer. If Steven Son and Harriman troth can be stopped for a series of convention ballots, the talk among practical politicians is the Syrarrrgton would be the logical compromise choice. That’s a big if, hut it seems to get smaller day ''by day. Begin Inspection Os County Records Gene Beard and Pete Ellis, both of the Indiana state board of accounts.
