i Kirkman said he hoped to co

Rambo and the patrol's own six

lot of the work previously don*
by Rambo can be done by one
of the uniformed safety officers,
Kirkman said.
! Maxwell Wells, Orlando, preai-
Conned, recently wrote Kirkman
asking that at Wart MS.non annual
ly be budgeted to be ?*nt by tee
date to working with tee citizens’
group.
“We ere going to cooperate ns
best we can with tee *Citiaens‘
Safety Council. But obviously we
cannot put a lot of money into it.
Mr. Rambo will be available to
work with them at all times. But
j fod the Citizens' Safety <>etocs

is primarily an enforcement agen
cy,” Kirkman said.

Divisions bolding steady or with
mixed prices leaning slightly lower

; ration bffl late yesterday end sent
it to Eisenhower.
Action came on a compromise
bffl which bad been worked out
after the Senate and House passed
varying measures. House approval
of the final version was by 221-10 U
ran call; Senate approval was by
voice vote.
The authorisation was more than
SOS millions leas than the $5,474,000,-
000 requested by the President But
it stffl represented something of an
administration victory in view of
forecasts of much bigger cuts.
However, GOP leaders staved off
some threatened reductions with
tee plea they should bo saved for
tee subsequent money MU.
The authorisation measure fixes
ceilings for tee cash voted in a
money bffl, net yet started through
Congress. The program involved
is for fiscal 1164, two weeks of
which already have elapsed.
The authorisation includes a pro
vision, objected to by the adminis
tration, which would require with
bolding of about e billion dollars
from Western Europe unless trea
ties looking to formation of an in
ternational army are ratified.
A report prepared by the staff
af the Senate Appropriations
Committee, made public last night
was bftfdy critical of France and
of U. S. administration of the for

The study said there is a ques

port her thousands of miles to the
Sacramento, Cal. hospital where
her son toy dying.
Her arrival plus first class med
ical treatment and prayer brought
Ralph back to life.
Today though he can never use
his right arm again for heavy
work, he can write with it, and
as he showed me this morning he
can give a good, firm handclasp.
On a 24 per cent disability pen
sion for the rest df his life, Ralph,
unlike many young men, is not go
ing to sit back and relax on that.
After a rest at home with his be
loved parents and six brothers and
sisters, he plans to finish his last
year of high school, interrupted
when he joined the service. Then
he will use his GI benefits for thor
ough trade training, either to tel
evision or welding.
Ralph arrived home Sunday
night, unannounced save tor a wire
to hla brother.
Ralph, Sr., was sitting at home
Sunday night, just as though It
was any Sunday night. Suddenly
his boy walked to the door.
Dad Cried
“My dad cried—teat’s a good dad
for you,” Ralph Jr. said today.
“Mother—she was too / happy to
cry, also she had cried herself out
during the time of the accident.’’
Mater Terry, 17, didn’t even rec
ognize Ralph when tee saw him
Sunday night. The Air Force year
has jumped the boy from five feet
11 to six feet one and upped his
weight from 144 to INI pounds.
Lest 75 Pounds In One Week
“I waa up to 19T pounds the day
the propeller got me.” Ralph said.
“I went down 75 pounds to the
week afterwards.”
Ralph ter., with gUstoyoing brown
aims took Ralph Jr. around USO
clubhouse where everyone from
Dick Evans, club director on down
has happily watched Ralph’s steady
recovery through his letters home
and hi* father’s reports.
The boy, accustomed now to the
cool Wert Coart winters and nights,
mopped hit brow in the warm
ish clubhouse. He was wearing tee
watch hit mother gave him for
Christmas and the Air Force ring
he bought himself.
He reached out the right hand
that was almost lost last Novem
ber, shook the outstretched, wel
coming hands of the docent of in
terested sad happy friends at the
USO.
“See you later”, he said.

discussions here. The British and
French ministers, it was reported,
thro referred the documents to
London and Paris for final consid
eration to advance of today’s meet
ing. i
j Moat of the discussion of tite
conference has been concerned
with the elosdy related problems
of Western policy toward Ger
many and Western estimates of
the behavior and policy of the
Soviet Union.
Any moves toward achievement
of German unification must involve
Russia since it is one of the occupy
ing powers along with the three
Western nations. A determined
effort to bring about such a unifi
cation would involve at some stage
a Big Four conference.
While unification it a problem
for the occupation powers, it is an
urgent political issue in Germany.
Out of this fact is derived the
reported opinion that it would be
better to avoid action on the prob
lem at tite four-power level until
after. Germany’s September elec
tions.
’ Aside from European issues the
throe foreign ministers have dealt
briefly with Far Eastern prob
lems.

Embarrassing Bath 4
BOSTON Ladies’ day at a
turkish bath in the Wt End
turned out to be an embarrassing
day for five ladies.
The five were forced to the street
yesterday by a fire which spread
into the baths. The ladies had only
enough time to grab sheets.
