Faces Trial Monday
BRADY. Jan. 11. IUD—The trial
of Sandra Peterson, the 18-year
old girl charged with slaying a
Brady real estate man, is due to
begin Monday at Brady But her
court-appointed attorney. Bill

fair trial will be impossible to
obtain at Brady, the hometown
of Lewis Patterson, motorist who
was shot to death last August af-
ter giving Sandra a lift.
The lawyer says his client has
undergone a change of attitude.
Now she is very co operative, he
says.
The state seeks the Jieath

girl who was 17 years old, and

U. S. Defense, Foreign Policies
Generally Favored by Editors
BY PBTBR EDSON
VY7ASHINQTON—(NKA)—U. & national defense and bipartisan
. foreign policies now in effect are in general supported by large
majorities of American newspaper editors. These results are out-
standing in a poll of over 700 newspaper editors recently conducted |
by this column. ’
'*r j While the 34S editors replying Indicated that from 60 to 70 per cent <
of their papers, were opposed to the Truman administration's domestic
- - --^peUcies, the ratios were almost exactly reversed on key questions j
wvJjhg with foreign retations. ‘T’h.fc-miu; - *"
place as a world leader,” as the Youngstown, O., Vindicator summed
it up. -
| A big majority of the editors still support the United Nations. One
of the questions asked them was, "Do you feel that the United Nations
is doing all it can to preserve peace’” Sixty-four per cent answered
"Yes.” .Thirty per cent said ’’No,” with six per cent giving no opinion.
Editorial opinion in support of the UN job was thrfce-to-one in the
East, decreasing in the South and Midwest to a two-to-one endorse-
ment in the West.
RUT as the Alamosa, Calif., Courier points out, "The U. S. is now ,
spending $400 on armaments for every dollar it spends on the UN.
If the UN could be made more effective, then we could abolish need-
less spending on arms. And once the cold wax is stopped, the budget-
balancing problem would not be So great.” < •
y As to how the defense money should be spent, there was varying
opinion. Another question asked the editors was, "In the recent
B-36 vs. super-carrier controversy, do you feel that the Navy or the
Air Force was right’” Thirty-seven per cent of the Editors expressed
. bewilderment on this one. They were about equally divided among 1
those who would express no opinion at all, those who thought that
- :i'X- - - ''■' jht in part, and tiw’v.mho,thought neither was rifbfe. t
Of the 63 per cent of the editors who did have definite views, 42 per I
cent said the Air Force was right, as against 21 per cent for the Navy. I
f Another, key question on the making of foreign policy for 1950
Was, “Do you favor rearming Germany at this tim6?" Answers from !
the editors-were 67 per cent "No” to 28 per cent “Yes,” with five per )
cent expressing no opinion. “Stop preparing Germany to be winner ■
of the next war,” said the Gainesville. Ca.. Tynes, speaking for the |
tnajority. „
rrwo questions on further military aid to China got an even snarper
| * turndown fronri the editors than the question of aid to Germany. The '
first question wai “Should the U. S. give more aid to Nationalist
China?" The answers were: 18 per cent "Yes," 76 per cent "No,” with
Six per cent expressing no opinion. ' i
j The Hagerstown, Md., Mail advised, "Wait for the Jessup report.'* j
There was plenty of opinion similar to the Montgomery, Ala., Adver- i
tiser’s expression lhat the U. S. “should have given more aid in the I
past,” but that—as the Muskogee, Okla., Phoenix Times-Democrat
comments—"Ifs too late now.”
‘ The next question was, "Would you support the dispatch of *U. S.
troops to China to fight communism?” The answers came back 84
per cent "No," to 11 per cent “Yes," with five per cent expressing no
opinion.
There were but few qualifications on this one The Bakersfield,
Calif., Star said, "Favor use of Chinese mercenaries under U. S.
officers.” The Utica, N. Y., Observer-Dispatch favors aiding Chinese
Nationalists on Formosa, but not in Asia-. And this paper would send
i;;.?• troops only "to protect American citizens, not to win' back
China.”
