The "entirely new concept" of insurance rates announced by insurance companies operating in California, which relates traffic convictions to auto insurance costs, should prove highly popular—and unpopular, too. It will all depend on which motorist you talk to. The fellow with a three-year record clear of any accident or moving violation will cheer the new idea. The rest of us won't. Of course, the prospect of a 20 per cent cut in car insurance rates should spur drivers to closer adherence to traffic rules. But since the innocent motorist, who may have his fender bashed in by a reckless operator, will also be penalized under the new system along with the offender, you may be sure there will be a lot of wailing about it. The insurance companies say that it would be impracticable to delve into each accident and determine who was right or wrong. But the number of non-guilty policy holders who complain may force some solution. There is also some question as to the length of the period free of accidents or moving violations. Under modern driving conditions the motorist who goes for three years without a bump from another motorist or the traffic cop is quite a rarity. The insurance companies are to be commended on their efforts to tie insurance costs more closely to the way individual motorists drive. But it may earn them many more headaches than handshakes. Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — Behind the headlines, the struggle, the resignation of John Foster Dulles, there is a very human story. It stands behind a cloak of professional secrecy, of the kind of privacy society accepts. It is the deliberation of eight doctors, perhaps among the finest specialists in the country. It is the gnawing decisions, the terrible anxiety which those doctors have faced — and still do. What course to follow to save the man from pain, from the spreading disease — just what course, to attempt to prolong his days on this earth? That the man of supreme courage at long last, sadly, turned in his resignation was a tragic victory for the ravaging elements of nature over the doctors' studied decisions. For nearly a month, the Secretary of State was wheeled almost daily to the hospital's bleak radiation room for three minutes' exposure under a million-volt machine — massive radiation it was. The treatment was in vain. Then those doctors huddled for long hours and came up with a dramatic, different approach — radioactive gold. The cancer spread to the base of the Secretary's neck. What other means remain? To be sure, the doctors are aware of every conceivable treatment — with radium, X-rays, atomic substance.... Mr. Dulles — and his doctors — have received up to 2,000 letters a week from those most deeply sympathetic. Many who personally shared the pain of that courageous man offered suggestions. They meant well, and this was their way of showing profound concern for the ailing man. There were those who asked, "Why not use Krebiozen?" This is perhaps the most controversial of all cancer treatments. Krebiozen, developed by a Yugoslav, Dr. Steven Durovic, a decade ago, is a white powder with a yellowish tinge which, when dissolved in water and injected into a cancer patient, is said to build up antibodies against the disease. To produce it is involved. It is formed from the culture of a mold, the cells then destroyed by heating with a detergent. An extract of it is injected into the bloodstream of a horse. From this is derived Krebiozen, which some medical men describe as a hormone. The serum is extracted, and evaporated into powder form. There are those of the several thousand persons treated with the antibiotic who swear by its effectiveness. Has Krebiozen been used on the Secretary of State? The State Department avoids answering that because of its controversial nature. The indication is that it has not been administered. The National Cancer Institute has not officially tested Krebiozen, though the drug is being administered throughout the country. The institute, however, is now in the process of setting up a test, awaiting an agreement for certain standards by supporters of the drug. The compromise test was proposed last winter by Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D., Ill.). Would Krebiozen be used — as a last resort — on the gallant old man of State? The decision of those doctors in the next few days will be an agonizing one. They will be reaching for a straw, mayhap. There is another word for it around Walter Reed these days. Miracle...

Positive, independent and inclined to be domineering, you also have an unexpected streak of kindliness, patience and tact. Sometimes the conflict between these two facets of your personality is so strong that your heart tells you to go in one direction, your head in exactly the opposite! Don't blame others for not understanding you when sometimes you don't understand yourself! You probably have strong psychic powers but are too inclined to use them to direct others rather than utilizing them exclusively for your own guidance. You of the fair sex are very domestic, never being completely happy as a career bachelor-girl. You will be most content if you wed quite early in life, have a large family of your own and a home where you can become undisputed manager. You men, on the other hand, while affectation by nature, are disinclined to wed in youth but put your energies into managing people and furthering your career. You insist upon independence, and if romance interferes, you will decline romance! Although you have a tremendous store of nervous energy, your physical stamina is not as great as you like to believe it is. Your ambition often drives you beyond your physical strength, and you tend to crack up at the most unstrategic moment! Counteract this by guarding your health and building up physical reserves. Among those born on this date are: Cardinal John Farley, noted churchman; John F. Hylan, New York City Mayor; Louis Mann, actor and playwright; Harold Lloyd, comedian; Adolf Hitler, dictator.

Farmer McCabe Ever since this country announced that it had selected seven men to be fired into outer space — the whole world has been talking—that is, the whole whole except Red China. They say that shooting a man into outer space is old stuff—Why, we shot one into outer space back in the 17th Century.” Asked how they did it since no missiles were known then—they replied that they simply tied him onto a string of firecrackers... That's a Russian joke, Son. Farmer McCabe (all rights reserved) Editing the Day's News by H. V. Kaltenlorn Will Soviets Gain Over Allies This Time Also? Napoleon once said, “Give me allies to fight and I will give you victory.” Nikita Khrushchev, like Napoleon, is the head of a dictator government. He confidently expects victory at any summit meeting with divided allies. He may not win any major material concessions, but he is almost certain to use the free public debate and the free press of the West more effectively than we can use the Soviet press or Soviet discussion. Even if the four allied powers were in complete agreement on the methods and policy they propose to follow at a summit conference, even minor dissenting voices in any Western country would promptly be blown up and exploited by the controlled and manipulated organs of Soviet propaganda. The sad truth is we have never won a major material or propaganda victory in negotiations with Communist Russia. Our widely heralded 1949 victory in ending the Berlin blockade was the result of secret negotiations which did no more than restore the previous status quo. The Soviet Union did not acknowledge our new status for West Berlin when we cannot have the slightest confidence in any guarantee of security or free access to Berlin which the Russians might be willing to sign? The only guarantee of any value would be the unification of the two Germans under conditions that would insure independence. Ninety per cent of the inhabitants of the two Germanys favor a democratic form of government and are violently opposed to a Communist form of government. How could anyone expect Moscow to accept such an unfavorable shift in the present balance of power in Europe? The Soviet Union wants a summit conference to secure final acceptance by the West of the present division of Germany with East Germany becoming a permanent Soviet satellite. France, Germany and the United States are apposed to the de facto recognition of East Germany proposed by the British because they realize that this means a permanent division of the two Germanys. The dragged-out, futile negotiations in Geneva looking towards some agreement on nuclear arms. Tuesday, April 21 TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21) — Being punctual is of the utmost importance today if you are to grasp a good opportunity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20)—You may combine business and romance effectively today. Someone at the office? AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)—Be realistic about any new opference, even minor dissenting voices in any Western country would promptly be blown up and exploited by the controlled and manipulated organs of Soviet propaganda. The sad truth is we have never won a major material or propaganda victory in negotiations with Communist Russia. Our widely heralded 1949 victory in ending the Berlin blockade was the result of secret negotiations which did no more than restore the previous status quo. The Soviet Union did not acknowledge our formal right of access to Berlin whether by air, road, rail or canal. Russia left herself free to renew the challenge at any time and now she has renewed it. Last November she faced the West with a flat ultimatum. "Get out or else." This has now been withdrawn, but it is already renewed in another form. Moscow is seeking to dictate the terms under which we may use the air corridors between West Germany and Berlin. Whenever our aircraft rise above the now obsolete ten thousand foot Russian-imposed ceiling they are threatened by Russian fighter planes. This is the spirit in which the masters of the Kremlin are approaching next month's summit meeting of the foreign ministers. As ex-Secretary o. State Acheson put it in last Sunday's New York Times, "The conference which the Russians seek is designed not to be a cover for their yielding, but for the yielding of the West. It is unfortunate our yielding is already advocated by the British Prime Minister Macmillan is certainly not an appeaser in the sense in which that term could be applied to Prime Minister Chamberlain at the time of the 1938 Munich surrender. But the circumstances in which Macmillan has used such terms as "flexibility" or "disengagement" suggest major concessions to be offered by the West when there is not the slightest prospect of any concessions in return. How can we negotiate on a The Soviet Union wants a summit conference to secure final acceptance by the West of the present division of Germany with East Germany becoming a permanent Soviet satellite. France, Germany and the United States are apposed to the de facto recognition of East Germany proposed by the British because they realize that this means a permanent division of the two Germanys. The dragged-out, futile negotiations in Geneva looking towards some agreement on nuclear armaments are proof that the time is not ripe for agreement with Communist Russia on disarmament or security arrangements. We have been trying to make the step by step progress long urged by the British, but without the slightest success. The purpose of a summit conference should be to confirm previous agreements, not to emphasize existing differences. And why should the West now suddenly become interested in limiting the armaments of NATO powers when we are just beginning to equip our allies with the missiles and nuclear weapons essential in modern warfare. We still have the right to hope that Britain will stand with us when the Western foreign ministers get together in Paris on April 29th. Under Secretary of State Christian A. Herter will represent the Dulles-Eisenhower point of view. This is much more nearly in accord with French and German policies than with those of Britain. It is to be hoped that a solid four-power policy will emerge from this meeting. Then in May the West meets with the Soviet foreign minister. There we must convince the Russians that the four Western powers are in Berlin to stay. And we must face the sad fact that if the Russians fail to weaken our hold in Berlin they will soon challenge us elsewhere. The cold war will continue. (Copyright 1959, General Features Corp.) Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence WASHINGTON — No resignation of the Secretary of State in the last half-century has created the profound impression that has been made by the relinquishment of this high office by John Foster Dulles. Not only has a strong man with an iron will departed from active duty—a man who stood staunchly on his convictions irrespective of partisan sniping at home and Communist opposition abroad—but the effect on American foreign policy is now a subject of world-wide discussion. To understand the significance of the change, it is important to report that the campaign to force Mr. Dulles out of office has been going on steadily for several years. It has had some inspiration abroad, even in allied quarters which found the American Secretary of State too "inflexible," and it has had considerable support from partisans in the Congress, particularly in the Senate, who have obtained headlines by their intermittent attacks on the secretary. Today all is praise. The amenities and courtesies to the sick require it. But nobody should be deceived by the effusive comments from quarters that have tried to undermine Mr. Dulles. Some who are loudest in their laudatory eulogies are secretly rejoicing. They see a chance at last to turn the tide in their own direction—appeasement. Opponents of Mr. Dulles naturally resent the term "appeasement." They euphemistically describe their position as motivated by a desire to move American policy "off dead center." This is the school of thought which constantly calls for "bold and imaginative scene is, tragically enough, a break for the Communists. It shouldn't be, but, on the other hand, who is there to keep the western governments in Europe from becoming the victims of their own naivete? The British press for the most part is following the path of appeasement. Had not Britain's reluctance to stand up realistically to the facts failed before to avert war, there would today be some sympathy for the London viewpoint. But the British are influenced by material considerations—a belief that increased trade will result from "peaceful coexistence." In the early 1930s Prime Minister Baldwin refused to appraise the facts of a Nazi conspiracy, and Prime Minister Chamberlain was fooled by Hitler at Munich in 1938. The Moscow government allied itself with Hitler in 1939 and made possible the attack on Poland by Nazi Germany. The Communists are as much responsible as the Nazis for World War II. Today the secret, diabolical diplomacy of the Soviets that has weakened the allies in the past is causing a strain among western powers. Strong men like Dulles and Adenauer were too experienced to fall for the Communist tricks. So it is a question now what the newcomers in Washington and Bonn may bring. President Eisenhower is the sole hope of the world today. He has for years benefited by the advice of John Foster Dulles. The President will not permit a deviation from the main positions hitherto taken, though perhaps he will find it more difficult to maintain allied solidarity than before because of the encouragement which poli- from quarters that have tried to undermine Mr. Dulles.

Opponents of Mr. Dulles naturally resent the term "appeasement." They euphemistically describe their position as motivated by a desire to move American policy 'off dead center.' This is the school of thought which constantly calls for "bold and imaginative ideas" and "negotiations" and "summit conferences." Even when again and again, it is demonstrated that the men in the Kremlin are unscrupulous, the answer blandly given is that "at least after a summit conference, we shall know where we stand." One wonders how many times America must be insulted and how many times her rights in Europe to defend free countries have to be flagrantly challenged—as, for instance, by the ultimatum over Berlin—before the appeasers will learn their lesson. The simple truth is that the Soviets think the Allies are soft—that Britain and France can be infiltrated or frustrated from within and even be persuaded in an emergency to deprive American atomic bombers of the use of overseas bases in those countries. Today the big prize is West Germany, and the Communists are aiming at military possession of that country by means of political infiltration. The record of Kremlin duplicity and disregard of written agreements is clear enough. Yet it is seriously being suggested by many well-meaning persons in influential circles in every western country that the Soviet government should be trusted. Again and again it is argued that nuclear-test agreements, for example, should be made, though there isn't a chance of a foolproof agreement that would assure compliance by the Soviets, since they repeatedly refuse to agree to any ironclad system of inspection. The evidence accumulates that the Soviets are benefiting by the weakness and the pacifistic timidity of certain westerners. That's why the removal of the personality of John Foster Dulles from the and Adenauer were too experienced to fall for the Communist tricks. So it is a question now what the newcomers in Washington and Bonn may bring. President Eisenhower is the sole hope of the world today. He has for years benefited by the advice of John Foster Dulles. The President will not permit a deviation from the main positions hitherto taken, though perhaps he will find it more difficult to maintain allied solidarity than before because of the encouragement which policies of both pacifism and retreat will get in Europe now that Britain is once more yielding to the temptations of the appeasement doctrine. As long as John Foster Dulles is not too sick to give advice, his influence will be felt at the White House, no matter who is at the head of the Department of State. But it is to be noted that, just as the outgoing secretary made bitter enemies and is loved for the way he fought his opposition, so anyone who succeeds him will find all acts and words minutely scrutinized to determine whether the appeasers in the west who are unwittingly helping the Communist stratagems are going to determine the course of allied policy. It is a critical time in the history of the world. The danger of an atomic war arises far more from the appeasers than it does from those who courageously stand up to Communist treachery.
