West Declares Soviet Plans Are Unrealistic GENEVA (UPD—The West told the Russians today they are blocking disarmament progress by asking too much too soon. Peter Thomas, British minister of state for foreign affairs, said the Soviet proposals are unrealistic. He said the proposals for initial destruction of weapons are so vast they could never be verified to prevent cheating. Speaking for the West at the 17-nation disarmament conference, Thomas appealed to the Russians to be objective and help create the mutual confidence necessary for agreement. Though the Russians have been stalling at the conference, some Western delegates predicted the Sino-Soviet crisis could result in further agreements by the Soviets on limited East-West disarmament. Thomas said the Soviet Union wants too much eliminated in the first stage of disarmament and thus is preventing the conference from reaching agreement on a treaty. He said the disarmament process cannot even be started. He said that under the Soviet program the West and Russia would have to destroy almost 70 strategic missiles and bombers 3 week, plus untold numbers of warships, submarines, tanks, fighter aircraft and other Conventional weapons right down to rifles, pistols and greades.

One-Tax System In Indiana Is Favored By United Press International Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert E. Gates said Monday night at Marion his faith in a one-tax system for Indiana remained unshaken and he would favor taking the type of tax to the voters for decision. “Various groups will have their own pet theories as to what kind of tax should be levied to bring order out of the present confusion over the multiplicity of taxes,” Gates said. “I would look with favor on the type favored by a majority of the taxpaying public and which would guarantee sufficient revenue for economical operation of the state government,” Gates said. ' 4 Clinton Green, one of seven in the Democratic gubernatorial derby, extolled the value of the proposed Indiana port -on Lake Michigan in a campaign speech at Terre Haute Monday night. “When the Burns Gateway Harbor becomes a reality under the next administration, the coal producing counties of Indiana will have an opportunity to recapture a market of one million tons of coal,” he said. Terre Haute is the center of Indiana's coal - producing area. Green said that amount of Hoosier coal could be sold to power plants in Michigan and Wisconsin through the loading facilities planned for the port. Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert E. Hughes in addressing Indiana Universities chapter of Young Americans for Freedom delivered a tribute to Gen. Douglas MacArthur and said his “moral courage stood in sharp contrast to the weak national leadership that retreater before the threat of international Communism and committed our nation to a ‘no win’ policy in the Korean war.” Woman Cartoonist Speaker On Program By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — A woman who gives many male newsmen occupational ulcers will speak at a meeting of the Hoosier State Press Association here Saturday, but only femL nine members of the press are invited. Mrs. Ware Edgar, of the Starke County Democrat, was the brave soul who invited Dale Messick, one of the few successful women comic strip cartoonists, to speak at a program which the Woman’s Press Club of Indiana gives annually in honor of HSPA women. Miss Messick refers .to herself as “Brenda Starr’s mamma.” For more than 20 years, she has been producing comic strips about a redheaded girl reporter whose behavior is so unnewspaperlike that some male newsmen call her “a- disservice to the profession.” 'Really Attorney’s Wife Miss Messick in private life is Mrs. Oscar Strom, wife of a Gary attorney. The Stroms live in a large home overlooking Lake Michigan and Miss Messick’s studio is located in her home. She rarely makes outside talks but accepted Mrs. Edgar’s invitation because the date fits in with a trip she plaps to make Friday to Bloomington to visit her daughter, Starr, who is a student at Indiana University. Miss Messick, who claims that men do not understand Brenda, got her first break in the comic strip business because of a woman. Mollie Slott, who at the time was an assistant to the late Joseph M. Patterson, the publisher. But because Miss Messick already had discovered no one took her talent seriously because she was a woman, she had changed her name from Dalia to Dale.' Even today, many assume Dale Messick to be a man. —— Dalia was born in South Bend. She has commented that she flunked so many subjects in high school she was 20 years old before she received her diploma. But much of her early school problems apparently were due to the fact she had an eye defect which was not discovered and corrected by glasses until she was a teenager. She began drawing comic strips at age 10, and took some training .at the Chicago Art Institute after graduation ' from high school. Her first jobs wei e in Chicago, then New York City, as a greeting card designer. Miss, Slott saw some of Miss Messick's work and helped her plot the beautiful girl reporter strip, using ' the first name of Brenda Frazier, a debutante then in the nbws/ and the last name from the term “star .reporter.” Miss Messick named her daughter Starr and has toldfriends that “Brenda is the glamorous girl I always Wished 1 was and does all the exciting things I'm afraid to do.”
