Problems Remain Unsolved
Y^ELL, the Cultural and Scientific Conference for World
Peace has been and jfone. So has the rival conference
of Americans for Intellectual Freedom. And the prospects
for a friendly and stable world are about what they were
before.
The first jrroup, made up of Communists, pro-Commu-
nists and rather dreamy-sounding theoreticians, got together
and reconvinced themselves that their ideas were correct.
The second group, nevvy formed for the occasions, got to-
gether and reconvinced themselves that the cultural and
scientific conference was a Communist-inspired vehicle for
Soviet propaganda.
Both organizations wanted peace. The one would settle
for peace at Russia’s price. The other rejected the idea of
‘‘peace at any price." .
Some of the public, particularly some citizens of New
York City, got very excited over all the goings-on. Tempers
shortened and blood pressures rose. Rightist liberals made
angry accusations against leftist liberals, and vice versa.
Pickets marched, shouted, sang and prayed. A few harmless
punches were thrown. But in the main things went off
reasonably well.

,¥,HE conference of the cultured and the scientific heard
tpiiet and decorous defenses of the Communist party
line. Its sponsors even permitted Norman Cousins, editor
of the cultural but non-scientific Saturday Review of Litera-
ture. to tell the visiting foreigners that neither Wall Street
nor the Communists are running this country, and that
furthermore the country doesn't like the Communists very
much.
It is doubtful that many minds were changed, in or out
of the conferences. The issues have been before the public
so long- that almost everyone must have made up his mind
by now. The leftist discussions certainly did not advance
the cause of world peace. Any concrete results they may
have had were probably negative.
The visiting Russians, having their first peek outside
the iron curtain, may have gotten the idea from the pickets’
shouts and slogans that the American people are its mad ttt
the Russian people as they are at the Russian government.
Possibly some of the pickets made the same mistake.

America than it had been. The iron curtain was still down.
American restrictions on visiting Communists were still up.
And the problem of world peace remained where it had been

The problem promises to remain there until Stalin and
Company, though still convinced their way is best, decide
that it is expedient to limit the benefits of their virtue and
knowledge to the territories they now control. Until that
happens it seems, unfortunately, that there isn’t much the

Franco Spain Conducts Drive
For Good Will With II. S., UN
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
Work Is Done
On Enid Parks
^CfASHINGTON—(NEA)—The Spanish Embassy in Washington is
now conducting an all-out social and propaganda drive to build
up good will for the government of Caudillo (Dictator) Generalissimo
Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teodulo Franco. A New York public
relations firm has been hired and special counsel has been retained
in Washington for the Embassy office of cultural relations. The
assignment of both is to influence the right people towards greater
friendship for Franco Spain.
For Spain wants back in. It wants in the North Atlantic Pact. It
wants Ihe coming United Nations General Assembly session to with-
draw the resolution of December 1946, censuring the present "un-
democralic” Spanish government. It wants resumption of full diplo-
matic relations with those countries that withdrew their ambassadors
from Madrid as a protest against Franco's government. Finally Spain
wants a loan—considerably more than the $25,000,000 obtained from
Chase National Bank in exchange for gold deposits.
Spain may even want in on the Marshall Plan, though the Madrid
government has not admitted this as yet. The Spaniards are not
asking for full membership in the United Nations at this time, because
they know they can’t get it. Russia will veto.

ENID. April 1—</P)—Opening of
Enid's city parks to picnics and
general activities is more than a
month away, but preparations have
already been started to make the
park areas attractive this year.
Clyde Rowley, park superintendent,
said.
One of the bright spots will be
the sunken garden in Government
Springs park where about 10,000
tulips will be blooming this spring.
Rowley said a large number of
tulip bulbs was added to the city's
collection durinu the past year,
making the spring display of flowers
the largest the city has had.
Playground equipment has been
added to the parks this year. Four
outlying parks have been prepared
for bermuda plantings to provide
good sod underfcot.
Rowley reported that about three
blocks of elm tree hedge have been
planted this year along some of the
borders iii|Springs park.
Rocks are being hauled in to com-
plete arrangements for the natural
band shell on the park's lake which
is used each summer.
Official opening of park facilities
has been set for May 30, Rowley
said.
’T'HIS new Spanish policy has been gradually taking shape since the
arrival in Washington last June of Ambassador-at-Large Jose
Felix de Lequerica. The ambassador is not accredited to the Spanish
Embassy here in Washington. Officially, Spain has had no ambassador
in Washington since U. S. Ambassador Norman Armour returned to
the U. S., just before passage of the UN anti-Franco resolution. In
the interim the Spanish Embassy has been under Minister and Charge
d’Affaires Senor Don German Baraibar.
Ambassador Lequerica came to Washington officially as inspector
of embassies for the Spanish Foreign Office. His inspection has now
been going on for nine months, and there are no signs of his imminent
departure. Instead he has been making mucho hay for Franco.
He is a charming go-getter with an amazing record. He was Span-
ish Ambassador at Vichy, France, early in the war, and he was not
exactly regarded as a friend by the Allied diplomatic corps there.
He was recalled to Madrid as Allied victory loomed and did not again
become prominent in the Spanish government until 1947, when he
was made Ambassador-at-Large and Inspector of Embassies.
Entertainment at the Spanish Embassy—which had been something
of a diplomatic dog house, socially—immediately began to pick up.
The Embassy staff was enlarged. The Spaniards wooed the Repub-
lican congressmen, hard. But when Dewey washed out on them there
was a quick shift and Democrats began to be the honored guests.
The New York public relations firm of Andrew Gahagan was re-
tained to build up good will for the Franco government and get it
a better press.
IN Washington, attorney Charles Patrick Clark was retained as spe-
cial representative to the Embassy's cultural relations counsellor.
Senor Don Pablo Merry del Val, kin of the cardinal. Clark has reg-
istered with the Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents
Registration act, so everything is on the up and up. He has a two-
year, $50,000-a-year contract, beginning last Feb. 1.
Clark has been busy as a bird dog in the interests of his client, ever
since he was retained. He has talked to many congressmen and en-
tertained at many Wednesday evening soirees at which the merits of
the Spanish cause have been explained. He is permitted to invite up
to 20 guests to the Spanish Embassy for dinners. So far he says he
has met only one congressman hostile to improving diplomatic rela-
tions between the United States and Franco's government. Next
summer he plans junkets to Spain for congressmen and labor leaders.

to address him with some well
chosen words—when Rob came into
the kitchen to hear what all the

told him. I tried to fix Rob with
a fish eye. but he ignored me.
"Give him his party," he said.
"Not so fast. We haven't any
red points," I gloated.
"What nbout chicken?" Roger
asked.
"Robbie hates chicken. Got too
much of It in France."
"That's all right," said the man
who'd sworn to protect me,
"chicken'll have to do if it's all
