The Weakest Link To some people, the greatest threat to world peace today is Soviet Russia; to others, communist China poses the most serious danger. Both of these countries are out to beat the United States and the western nations in any way they can. The most dangerous thing about Russia, at this moment, is not in the military field, but in the area of idealogical warfare. The Chinese will be a real power in the years to come, but at present, they have enough internal problems of their own to keep busy. - ■/ These two countries, coupled with their growing list of satellites, undoubtedly present the greatest threat to our way of life — but actions of the past three months seem to indicate that a NATO nation, one of our staunch allies over the years, is the greatest immediate threat to world peace. That nation is France. About three months ago, the French announced that they had given Israel the materials and information to build an atomic reactor, which is the first step in the production of atomic weapons. This was an independent action, without consultation with the rest of the NATO countries. Less than two weeks ago, a Russian plane carrying the president of Russia was fired on by French jets over the Mediterranean Sea. The actions were immediately denounced by the hypocritical Russians who have been guilty of the same thing on many occasions, and France with tongue, in cheek, hastened to apologize, Last week it was learned that the French had shipped jet fighters into Africa to further complicate the boiling political pot in the dark continent. With the U. N. supposedly trying to bring a little order to the various confusions, France again has decided to go her own way. The first two actions probably caused quite a furor in the quieter circles of high-ranking diplomats. The last one drew public fire from President Kennedy, among others. What most observers are wondering is w hat France is trying to prove with these seemingly irresponsible ac- < tions, and what little deed they can next pull from their - political bag of tricks. There may be a definite pattern to the French actions. If so, it would seem prudent for the French government to explain the pattern to the governments of their allied nations, and those governments, in turn, could explain the actions to their peoples. If there is no pattern, the French government had better be set straight in short order.

Stevenson Proposes New Peace Strategy NEW YORK (UPI) — Adlai E. Stevenson, United States ambassador to the United Nations, proposed Sunday night that America adopt a new strategy to achieve world peace. “The strategy is not just to win a cold war, but to persuade a cold world,” Stevenson told a broadcast symposium over the Columbia Broadcasting System’s “Great Challenge” program. The former Democratic presidential candidate told the roundtable composed of historian Arnold J. Toynbee, former Atomic Energy Commissioner Lewis L. Strauss, economist Paul Samuelson, and Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard: “The two most significant, the most dangerous realities of the world in which we live, are. . .the multiplication of nuclear weapons and the disparity in living standards between the rich and the poor nations.” To meet these problems, Stevenson urged America to: —“Rid the world of the menace of nuclear weapons. . .work for a disarmed world under law which is the only answer in the long run to the threat of annihilating war.” —“End the growing gap between wealth and poverty in the world. . .because it is right and just and not because it makes the world safe for the United States,”

Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee I > —o Q. I’ve just heard it is considered bad manners to take anything to drink while there is food in your mouth. Is this true? A. Yes, and for two reasons: It just doesn't look right to be “washing down” your food, and particles of the food in your mouth may leave an unattractive smear on your drinking glass. Q. Is it all right to use informals in giving thanks for wedding gifts? A. Yes, so long as there is no greeting that substitutes for the written words of thanks, and if the informal is of good quality paper. It should be sent, of course, first-class mail, sealed. Q. Is it really obligatory for a bride to give a gift Os some kind to her bridegroom on their wedding day? w A. While not exactly obligatory. it is customary for the bride to give her bridegroom some kind of gift for his personal use. Q. So much is written about the bride’s clothes, but what about the. guests at a wedding? I am never sure whether I’m dressed enough or overdressed. What is the rule about this? A. The best rule is that at an informal wedding, the guests wear conservative church-going clothes and that the women wear hats and gloves. Q. I have parfait glasses and sometimes like to serve a parfait for dessert. Since I have no parfait spoons, is it all right to use icedtea spoons instead, and do you think a parfait makes a nice company dessert? A. Yes, to both questions. Q. Does a man who is traveling alone prefix “Mr.” when registering at a hotel? A. No; he merely registers as John B. Green, Peoria, 111. Q. If a dinner party is in progress and a guest arrives late, must all the men, arise tor introductions? A. No. In the case of a woman guest, she slips into the seat, indicated by the hostess after a brief greeting, and the man to her right, alone, rises to seat her. The hostess does not rise, because then all the men would be- compelled to rise with her. —“Create new patterns and institutions of international cooperation to advance the rule of law in the world.” —Extend the concept of an open world.”

Raul Castro Leads Drive On Invaders HAVANA (UPI) — Raul Castro, armed forces chief and brother of the premier, today was reported personally leading the drive against a fresh band of anti-Cas-tro invaders in eastern Cuba. The invaders, said to number about 50 men, were believed taking refuge in the Purial Mountains to escape the government forces. Reports from Oriente Province said the rebel band landed near La Plata on the south coast about 30 miles east of the U.S. naval base at Bay. Unofficial reports said the group was led by Maj. Nino Diaz, a former aid of Raul’s. Diaz, a native of Oriente Province, once before had been reported leading an insurgent band in the province but had to disband it for lack of support. Observers believed the invaders were seeking to open a second front against the government to relieve pressure on the rebels in central Cuba where official sources admitted the government was losing 30 men a day. Several thousand rebels are holed up in the Escambray Mountains. Premier Fidel Castro made a trip to Santa Clara, Las Villas Province, to direct a corps of 30,000 militiamen against the rebels. He returned to Havana during the weekend and was met by an appeal from his older brother Ramon, in behalf of Cuba’s private sugar growers. Ramon, who manages the family canefields in Oriente Province, said the country’s 65,000 small cane growers were being forced into “economic destruction” by the revolutionary government’s policies. Ramon told UPI in an interview the government must raise the prices it pays private producers to the higher levels enjoyed by government-controlled cooperatives. .— Bar Association To Study New Judges CHICAGO (UPI) — President Kennedy's proposal to create 59 additional judgships came up for consideration today by the American Bar Associations policy-mak-ing House of Delegates. House approval was considered certain. The ABA’s Board of Governors endorsed the proposal Thursday and the 253-member House of Delegates has approved every increase in the federal judiciary requested in recent years. Bernard G. Siegel. Philadelphia, chairman of the ABA federal judiciary committee, introduced the house resolution for approval of the proposed increase. It would create nine new seats on the United States courts of appeal and 50 district federal judgeships* Seigel predicted quick congressional approval of the proposed increase and said the Judicial Conference of the United States was expected to seek a further increase in the federal judiciary in its meeting next month. He forecast a greater number of appointments of new judges to the United States courts this year than ever before in the history of the country. “With the normal number of vacancies, created by retirements and other causes, the number of new appointments to be made by President Kennedy during the coming year is likely to reach the staggering and completely unprecedented total of more than 100 judges,” Seigel estimated.

Novel Influenced Woman Embezzler

SHELDON, lowa (UPD — The novel was “a guiding influence” on her life, according to the pastor of her church. She loaned it to a friend, and recommended it as “a good guide” for living. And she had marked in it a brief passage of 35 words—two sentences that perhaps provide a clue to help answer the question of why Sheldon’s “lady bountiful” embezzled more than $2 million from her father’s bank. This is the passage that Mrs. Burnice Geiger, 58, marked in her copy of the 1929 best seller “Magnificent Obsession”: “Anything a man really wanted, he could have if he hammered long enough at the doors behind which it was guarded. If he didn't get it, it was because he didn't want it badly enough.” The novel by Lloyd Douglas is the story of a remorse-stricken man who secretly performs good deeds. Mrs. Geiger, who was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison, had been keeping a secret for more than 30 years, according to her attorney. The attorney, Warren Dunkle,

said she may have begun her embezzlements shortly after going to work in her father’s bank, when she discovered a $75,000 shortage and tried to hide it. Mrs. Geiger covered up for other people, too. For a man who had helped refurnish and remodel her home, and who, according to Dunkle, forged her name to checks. For the Northerri Biochemical Corp., which submitted bad checks that she honored because she thought the young firm was good for the town. And to others, she was a friend in need, she was a “lady bountiful.” Was it because, as in the lines from the book, she wanted something—to help people — badly enough to “hammer. . at the doors behind which it was guarded”? There seemed little to indicate that she profited from her secret embezzling. Her husband, Wallace, showed a United Press International reporter through his nine-room, 48year old house Sunday in the first interview he has granted at his home since his wife was arrested Jan. 16. “I want you to see how we live,” Geiger said. “I know we have a nice home, but it's no nicer than many other persons have,” _ ’
