WAS OUR FACE RED? Normally, we consign all annonymous mail to the waste basket, but this one was too good to throw away, thus we are using it. “To the Editor— You “goofed” the other day and bad for you stated the county schools had been opera-ting on regular time,” the Good Lord's Time,” but our children left home at 6:35 CST for the Bainbridge school was on DST. Very disgusting. If some big shots (they think so) had to care for little ones and send them to school, they no doubt would beg for CST. Glad jou now think it’s a mess.

FEZ. Morocco Oct. 4—(UP) — Sweating French troops equipped w-ith modern cannon, tanks and jet planes battled savage Berber tribesmen today in a march of vengeance across the dusty slopes of the Atlas Mountains. The French were driving the rebels slowly backward toward the border of Spanish Morocco but new reports rolled in of the bearded tribesmen galloping into native villages in new orgies of rape and murder against proFrench Morocans. It was a battle of modern weapons against, the tribesmen’s long rifles and swords but the red clap footballs of the Atlas Mountains gave the rebels the advantage of mobility. They further harassed the French with toadblocks and trenches.

IKE DOES SOME EXECUTIVE WORK; 'T ATIGUE" GONE GIVES VICE PRESIDENT NIX ON A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE DENVER, Oct. 4 (UP) — President Eisenhower gave Vice President Richard M. Nixon a vote of confidence today in hi* conduct of the government during the Chief Executive’s illness. The “fatigue'' that possessed the President Sunday disappeared with a night of good sleep and turned out to be restiveness a - having to lie in bed more than physical tiredness. Examinations showed his recovery from a heart attack Sept. 24 is back on schedule. In fact, Mr. Eisenhower did more executive work Monday night than he has done since he ntered Fitzsimons Army Hospital. It will be the end of this week, however, before the damaged area in his heart is properly protected by scar tissue and physicians consider him “out of the woods.” After consultation among the high powers of the administration, Sherman Adams, the assist>nt to the President, submitted Monday night to Mr. Eiittnhowor a diaft copy of a letter instructing Nixon to continue holding meetings of the National Security Council and the cabinet. The letter was pi'epared la Washington under the supervision of Adams and telephoned to Denver for Mr. Eisenhower's signature, as the President b“gan to resume the operating details of the government. The letter arrived before Adams, who reached Denver Saturday. Nixon knew months ago thaf he was expected to hold the meetings; that was shown by the President’s phraseology. But among the early business duties >f the Chief Executive In his recuperation was a TOH'd to reinforce Nixon's current position A'ith the administration and the Republican Party. The White House staff took noticeable comfort from the fare that the President, after an irritable period Sunday which was translated by his doctors as normal fatigue, was “cheerful” Monday night. Mr. Eisenhower spent 10 minutes with Adams and the taciturn former governor of New Hampshire confined his session with the President to submission of official papers that were not pressing in themselves, but important in the administration of a federal establishment.
