To Each Ground Observer Corps Volunteer: The Fourth Anniversary of "Operation Skywatch" marks the longest continuous peacetime period in our Nation's history during which civilian volunteers have served actively with our Armed Forces in a national de- fense effort. The Ground Observer Corps has been a vital factor in main- taining the strength that has as- sured the peace we enjoy. Our Nation's strength rests not only in our Armed Forces, industrial capability and natural resources, but, most importantly, in the spiritual integrity and unselfish willingness of its citizens to serve. You have Pemonstrated these qualities. Some 400,000 of you are now serving in observer posts and air defense filter centers. Your con- stant and selfless vigilance has earned you the admiration of all Americans. In their behalf I sa- lute you on this occasion. I hope ,nany others will join you in this important work of strengthening our air defenses. DWIGHT D.

CHAPPAQUA FOUGHT AND WON Christian Science Monitor A month ago a committee of seniors at the high school of suburban Chappaqua, New York, .asked that their parents served highballs and cocktails to them at the annual postcommence- ment party. The reason? The hope that this might make less attractive the past practice of an all-night tour of night clubs and roadhouses. The proposal betrayed a tragic condition and presented parents and the community with Sa cruel dilemma. As The Monitor put is at the time: Whether to attempt "control" in the confidence, perhaps, of a limited victory or to stand on a moral line and risk a de- moralizing defeat. Community discussion was lively and ear- nest. Churches heard from their pulpits pleas to parents not to compromise, not to dignify drinking and lower themselves to playing bar- tender to their own and others' children. The party came off a couple of nights ago. There was extra good music, with special en- tertainment. The youngsters danced all night, b:-eakfasted at a local country club, and only soft drinks were served. If any of these teen-agers sneaked off in search of a more "grown-up" excitement at the hot spots it has not yet been reported. Nor would it have been possible to report so soon the later effect on these youngsters' lives had their parents by example said to them: "Yes, it smart to drink." STOP, LOOK and LISTEN .> \ We hope that before Congress goes any At^ her with its revolt against President Eisen- Shwer's advice on defense it will make sure it O-"l clrsing-th-dM--is y.eifia train is com- .ia.. The Senate vote'to add ahiiost a billion dol- lars to the Air Force budget has been explained partly as a Democratic move to make an elec- tion-year issue. But much more is involved. The action here hinged on a section of the defense budget which has. a decisive bearing or foreign policy. Mr. Eisenhower had vigorously appealed for the administration's mutual secur- ,ty bill as a most effective measure for strong thening American defenses. He argued that aid to allies and support of free governments have great military value for the United States. He had also questioned estimates that the United States is in danger of falling behind in strategic air power. He pointed out that sucn power cannot be figured simply by the numbers of long-range bombers or by progress in devel- oping ballistic missiles. The Soviet Union is compelled to rely chiefly on such weapons be- cause it lacks overseas bases and the allies, plus sea power, required to support them. But the United States does possess these things, and its strategic air power can be built most efficiently on a -combination of home and foreign-based planes. Congress appears ready to reject both con- cepts. The House cut more than a billion dol- lars out of the aid bill; the Senate has added nearly as much to the budget for the avowed purpose of getting more long-range bombers and ballistic missiles. Before the two mea- sures are completed some changes may be made, particularly toward restoring part of the cut in aid. But Congress appears determined to launch out on a new course of military-diplomatic poli- cy which would be dangerous if carried far. This course tends toward less reliance on and less support for allies overseas. While not yet developed into an isolationist degree of with- drawal, it holds the danger of starting a vicious cycle a progressive pulling back from allies which would impel them to a progressive pull- ing back. Its effects would quickly be felt in NATO already struggling to keep its vigor against the disarming and disintegrating smiles of Moscow. The big bombers have always had a dra- matic appeal. And air enthusiasts who painted pictures of easy and quick atomic victories have struck a popular note. The fact that the long- range planes need no foreign bases or arrange- ments with allies has made them congenial to all isolationist opinion. But heretofore most of the Democrats and one wing of the Republicans in Congress have seen and opposed the fallacies of this oversimplified view of war and diplo- macy. Can the Democrats, for the sake of tempo- rary partisan advantage, afford to switch now to an essentially isolationist position? Can Re- publicans, who so badly need the President's aid in the election, afford to reject his leader- , slup-in the military and diplomatic fields - where he is both especially qualified and espe- cially responsible? New approaches are needed -o keep American foreign policy abreast of the times. But in our opinion this one leads exactly away from the most useful direction. Congress would be wise to stop, look, and listen.

LeRoy Collins said Monday that "emer- gency matters only" will be con- sidere'd at an expected, 20-day spec- ial legislative session starting July 23 "I don't expect the special ses- sion to turn into a short-term gen- eral session," Collins said. "I hope 'it will be even less than 20 days." The governor indicated' he will reject appeals from various agen- cies for appropriations and new laws to be considered at the ses- sion. He said also that even the actual starting date is not defi- nito because "there are still some matters I must clear up before stat- ing as a fact the session will be called." The two principal matters Col-, lins now plans to include in his call Tapper said it was apparent amendments to the code will be special session are stronger segre- gation laws and a $3,500,000 ap- propriation to combat the Mediter- ranean fruit fly. He said other mon- ey requests such as fo renlargement and modernization of the prisons system may be made in some other form such as asking the lawmakers to augment the state's deficiency appropriation. He said various proposals are be- ing considered to expedite rapid completion of a new maximum se- curity building at Raiford State Prison. / A special committee of judges and lawyers headed by retired Cir- cuit Judge L. L. Fabisinski, Pensa- cola, is, considering segregation laws, Collins said he has not yet received the committee's report but expects it before July 23 and "we are not going to have a special ses- --expected next Monday-for the sion without a definite program." He indicated he would turn down a request from the State Develop- ment Commission that he ask the Legislature for a $179,3150 approp- riation to activate three new divi- sions. "I admit' it. would be desirable and a good investment by the state to expand the work of this commis- sion, but to qualify for considera- tion at a special session any pro- posal must be more than desirable. There must be a genuine necessity for it," Collins said. "I want to see t he work of the .special session restricted as much as possible," he said. "Matters to be considered should be of an emergency character 'only and I want to see them so confined." four-cent money could be spent on 'the state primary highway and park roads systems." When the bill came back to the Senate, Tapper said, insertion of the word "primary" was overlooked. As a result, he said, the counties now are faced with the problem of having to take over maintenance of many miles of highway that no lon- ger qualify as primary roads. Washington SEE SAW by WIN PENDLETON WHOSE ROAD PROGRAM? - The road bill has passed. It took Congress more than 18 months to write one that they could agree on. The Republicans call it "Ike's" pro- gram. The Democrats are claiming credit for it because this .is a Democratic tCongress. Also, it's election year. But let's check the record. Let's recal Ithe occasion of the original presentation of th eidea and give a wee -bit of credit where credit is due. On March 17, 1954, Cecil M. Webb, then Chairman of the Flor- ida State Road Board, visited Pres- ident Eisenhower in the White House and proposed the biggest Federal road building program in history. On July 12, four months later, in New York jCity, Vice-President Richard M. Nixon outlined this plan publicly. Nixon read a speech that President Eisenhower had planned to deliver. But due to the death of his sister-in-law, the wife of his brother *Milton, President Eisen- hower was unable to make the speech .himself. At that time ,no mention of Ce- cil Webb was made by Vice-iPresi- dent Nixon, although the plan was essentially the same that Webb had proposed on his March 17 visit to the White House. There was one difference worth noting: Webb had suggested an expenditure of $30 billion over a period of six years. Prseident Eisenhower called for a road program costing $50 billion THURSAY, ULY O 1WO ________- ~%W ~ HALL CONSTRUCTION CO. GENERAL CONTRACTORS F. H.A.

The bill that Congress passed last week provides for $3'2.a bil- lion during the next 13 years. That isn't exactly the way Cecil Webb had planned it, but it shows he was on solid ground. Some people laughed at Webb for taking his idea directly to the President. Some people in Florida *said he was"just trying to show off. Even some members of the Florida Delegation here treated Wobb as though they thought he should stick to making Dixie Lily grits and corn meal-and leave road building problems to them. But, it should, be noted that Con- igressmran' Bob Sikes, "dean" of the'Florida Delegation, did have faith enough in Webb's plan to arrange for a visit to the White House. And when Webb talked to President Eisenhower, Sikes sat in on the conference. Among the high Flobrida Road of- ficials who went to the White House with Webb were Senator George Tapper, of Port St. Joe, then chairman of the State Legisla- ture's Road Committee; Sam Turn- bull, State Highway Engineer; F. M. '"Son" Turner, Jr., Road Board Member from Pensacola. Later, as chairman of the Road Department, Webb published his plan in a booklet entitled', "Flor- ida's Plan for Better Highways." This was a copy of a speech which he made to the Committee on Ad- ministration .of the American As- sociation of State Highway Offi- c.als in Seattle, Washington, No- vember 8, 19,54. This is all in the record. So, during the next few years, as this great network of 41,000 miles of interstate road is under construction-remember who first took the idea. to the President.. Sometimes when you hit a beau- tiful new stretch of completed highway on this network-or may- be complain and fuss about a mis- craible detour where the new roads are being built-take time out to remember the old motto which says, "There is no limit how much vcrrmmm~w~ cmK-,-mK~ sh-.mMMnm~MMlurmMhMMMMmm mc-- ~MIMI- ~WYIWMIIUCjY~mMMrm~mWHMMMC Ww N-M.
