Seems like telephone business is different from
every other business on earth. Other businesses which
have an increase in volume find it possible, and prof-

phone business apparently is not able to do that. The
more subscribers they have the more plant they need
and more costs of various kinds pile up. More wages
' is one of the latter, and then starts again the circle
of the strike, the increase of wage and rate, with just
one source to supply the money—the same old indi-
vidual subscriber to the service.
We are a wonderfully resourceful people We find

pleasanter, but so far we have not solved the tele-

Recovery Is First Concern
Denison Herald says:
As the birthplace of the President of the United
States, Denison has had a speeial possessive pride and
interest in Dwight D. Eisenhower all the way along.
This goes back to critical days when the eyes and
prayers of much ot the world were centered on Gen-
eral Eisenhower as he directed history’s greatest war.
Denison's concern over the heart attack suffered by
the President and its prayers for his complete and
hasty recovery would be no less sincere if Mr. Elsen-
hower had been born elsewhere. As good citizens, we
would esteem the President of the United States, re-
gardless of place of birth, party affiliations and what
have you.
But, in the same manner that blood is thicker than
water, we can't escape that very special attachment
that stems from the fact that the President, one of
dumped into the sewage treatment
plant at San Antonio, Tex., without
causing any marked degree of
foaming.
Nevertheless, there have been
frequent though scattered reports
of interference with normal treat-
ment processes in which deter-
gents were named as the suspact.

Inches thick covered the 700-fee-
wide Ohio River from shore to

December 1953 when heavy rains
followed a prolonged dry spell. A
sample of the foam, submitted to
the Pennsylvania Health Depart-
ment, was found to contain 3,800
parts per million of synthetic
detergent.
Tests have shown that as little
as 14 PPM of detergents in a
stream killed fish. And rats given
an 8 per cent mixture of deMr-
gents in their diet all died in a
week.
Slowly awakening to the menace
of foul water, more than 32 states
have now enacted antipollution
legislation, and man towns aad
industries have been ordered to
clean up. They are beginning to
realize that pollution deprives
them of badly needed water in
recurring times of drought.

By TOM REEDY '
STETTIN, Poland I—The Rus-
sians have built a giant military
base between Stettin and Kolberg
in northwestern Poland. .
.All the Soviet army troops sta-
tioned in Poland are in this area,
about 30 square miles in territory
that was German before the war.
The sector also contains Jet air-
fields and naval installations along
the Baltic.
To try for an estimate of toe
Russian strength is to.invoke stony,
eyed silence. Work on the base
started three years ago. It serves
as the supply center for the 300,-
000-man Soviet army stationed in
East Germany. And it gets too
Russians out of sight in Poland.
The plan for it was worked out
by Marshal Konstantin Rokossov-
sky .Soviet army hero and native
ot Poland who now is Polish de-
fense minister
The old Soviet base at Liegnitz
was eradicated along with sub-
bases through the heart of Poland
from Frankfurt-Oder to Brest-
Litovsk.
Polish Informants describe the
situation insofar as they ton
speak about it:
In the postwar years, the Rus-
sians supplied their garrison in
Germany by rail. Anti-Soviet par-
tisans kept three Russian divisions
busy protecting the-lifeline. Double
locomotives had to be used, the
first one to touch off land mines.
In the Rokossovsky plan, relo-
cation of the base was tied in with
a master system of supplying by
ship Not only supplies but Soviet
troops being redeployed are moved
by ship from Koenigsberg (Kalin-
ingrad) to Stettin and there the
short hop to the German frontier
is easily negotiated and protected.
In two weeks this correspondent
has driven 2,000 miles in Polan
Texan to sit in the White House.
All that, of course, remains to be seen. But, as
much as we pride our native son for the great role
he has played in history, we certainly feel that his
health, and perhaps his very life, should be para-
mount.
Earlier, President Eisenhower had expressed his
convictions that no public servant should attempt to
go beyond the point that his physical welfare war-
ranted. That can be as much in the interest of the
country as the individual, and President Eisenhower
doubtlessly go regarded it. #
Time will determine the future course of Denison's
favorite son. If his tenure in office ends with one term,
it certainly won’t be any inglorious finale for a career
that has served Americans and free people so nobly
and so faithfully.
The paramount concern right now is not the po-
litcal future of Mr. Eisenhower or what the Republi-
cans might nominate in his stead. The hopes and
prayers of the city of the President's birth, the nation
as a whole, and much of the world are that he will re-
gain his health for additional years of the happiness
and contentment that his life of dedicated service so
richly merits.

Because many top leaders of he
largest labor organizations .have
backed Democrats in past elec-
tions. the strategy of appeal’ng to
the rank and file was used with
some success during the 1932
Eisenhower campaign.
Similar tactics for next year are
evident in the latest campaign
document.

tempted to direct..its labor pro-
gram toward the -individual wage

In Its bid for labor votes, the
Republican document said:
1. Average wages reached new
highs the first half of this year
with weekly pay of factory worce •
at a peak of $77.11 in August.
2. The cost of living recently
was slightly lower than a year ago
and “for the first time since World I
War II the greedy hand of infla-
lion is not in the worker’s Pay ,
