No Solution In Sight
For Disarmament Talks
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON W—With com-
plete politeness in the first big test
of their good intentions since the
Geneva summit conference, the
United States and Russia have
now talked face to face almost a
^eek about disarmament.
P Net result: No solution yet. None
in sight. But then, none was ex-
pected from this meeting in a sub-
committee of the United Nations
in New York. A little progress
would be pretty good. They still
have time to do something.
So far neither the United Stales
nor Russia has bought — nor has
either rejected — what the other
offered. The closed meeting up to
this point has been exploratory.
^Neither offered anything basically
™ew.
Each was standing on a plan of-
fered previously. This did not
necessarily mean they might not
agree on some proposals before
they finish.
Harold Stassen, President Eisen-
hower's special representative, ex-
plained in some detail what Eisen-
hower had in mind at Geneva when
he offered his aerial inspection
plan to the Russians. At that time
^isenhower spoke only in general
Werms.

chief delegate, listened for most

of the week but yesterday he spoke
his piece. He wanted to know what
the United States had to say about
the disarmament plan Russia of-
fered last May.
Reporters got an impression
from what he told them later that
Russia's answer to the American
proposals might depend on the
American answer to Russia's plan.
Eisenhower had proposed that
the United States and Russia ex-
change blueprints on their military
forces and establishments. Then
each would let the other fly over
its territory to check its honesty
and accuracy from the air.
These were some of the details
Stassen gave the Russians for
carrying out the President's idea:
The two countries would ex-
change information piece by piece,
not all at one crack. After each
exchange the two sides would
check each other. Then, finding
they were both honest, they would
give each other more information
and check on at.
In American planes flying over
Russia there would be Russian
observers. There would be Ameri-
can observers in Russian planes
flying over this country. Both
countries could take photographs
and use electronic equipment for
checking.
In addition each side would let
the other send ground observers
into its territory. They would be
stationed at key points. Their pur-
pose: also to check on the informa-
tion given and warn if they thought
there might be a surprise attack.
Sobolev for his part wanted to
know what the United States
thought about the proposals made
by Russia last May 10, since the
United States hasn't given a final
reply. The Russians proposed that:
The armed forces of the United
States, Russia and Red China be
reduced to no more than l'.i mil-
lion men, those of Britain and
France to no more than 650,000,
and those of all other nations to
a maximum ol' 200,000.
After an agreed-upon disarma-
ment plan had been carried out
75 per cent, there should be a ban
on the use of nuclear weapons ex-
cept to resist aggression. When dis-
armament, according to the plan,
was complete, all nuclear weapons
should be banned completely.
Mexko Said Near
Atomic Age Despiie
Economic Struggles
MEXICO CITY <m— President
Adolfo Ruiz Cortines today told
Congress that Mexico is gearing
for the atomic age while still strug-
gling with basic economic prob-
lems.
An optimistic balance sheet of
economic recovery was offered by
the chief executive In his third
annual state of the union message,
prepared for delivery to the joint
session of Congress at noon.
Mexico's monetary reserves to-
day total 305 million dollars as
compared to the low of 169 million
a year ago, when the effects of
April, 1954 devaluation of the peso
were still uncertain, the President
declared.
He reaffirmed the national policy
of government control over natural
resources and stated flatly that no
contracts or concessions had been
granted for development of ura-
nium or other sources of nuclear
energy.
The speech bristled with hints
of preparations for atomic energy
use against a background of rela-
tively low standards of living
which a government program of
public works and industrial and
farm development seeks to raise.
He confirmed that a law is being
drafted for creation of a federal
nuclear energy commission. In ad-
dition, a coordinating council for
irreplaceable natural resources
will be proposed.
The chief executive emphasized
that government economic guid-
ance does not exclude private en-
terprise and repeatedly suggested
that new capital and know-how are
welcome. He cited recent legisla-
tion aimed at encouraging private
investment through generous tax
concessions and said that the re-
sponse had been excellent.
College Education
Is Figured Worth
Average $91,000
WASHINGTON (tfl—How much is
a college education worth in cold
cash?
On the average, $91,000. two Cen-
sus Bureau officials reported today
to the annual meeting of the Amer-
ican Sociological Society.
Paul C. Click and Herman P.
Miller said:
"Over a lifetime, the average
college graduate can expect to re-
ceive about $100,000 more income
than the average high school grad-
uate. Since the direct and indirect
costs of the college education are
roughly estimated at $9,000, it is
concluded that a college education
represents a sound investment
from a purely monetary view
point."
The census men cautioned, how-
ever, that a college degree is no
guarantee of higher earnings. They
said about onefourth of all college
graduates earn less than high
school graduates in the same age
group.

SERMON TOPIC
by
THE PASTOR
A.M. "Christian Assurance"
John 20:30-31
P.M. Sermon In Song
"The Glorious Christ"
The evening service on Sun-
day will feature a different kind
of musical program from any
that has ever been presented in
the First Baptist Church. The
choir and congregation will
combine their voices to present
a sermon in song entitled "The
Glorious Christ." This is not a
cantata such as the choir pre-
sents at Christmas, but calls for
the participation of everyone in
the service.
A song sermon is made lin of
the basic points of an outline,
the various points are brought
out by the words of a song,
which is sung by the choir or
congregation. Through the sing-
ing of these great hymns, which
so many of us have loved
through the vears, a message is
presented which shows to all
who hear the story of our
"Glorious Christ."
This will be an opportunity
for everyone to have a part in
preaching the gospel. Many
times there are lost people sav-
ed. and hearts brought back to
God by this tvpe of service.
Come praying for this service,
and come ready to give your
very best to presenting the
message.
"Save The Slimmer"
Ords To Be Turned In
The record cards for our cam-
paign to "Save the Summer for
the Saviour" are to be turned
in by Wednesday evening. They
may be brought to the office,
or turned in at the preaching
services. Recognition of those
who are to receive awards will
be on Sunday morning. Septem-
ber 11. It is hoped that many
will be able to receive perfect
attendance awards at this ser-
vice. Cards must be in by Wed-
nesday evening to receive rec-
ognition.
'In The Heart Of Sweetwater, With Sweetwater On Her Heart"
A city building permit was ap-
proved this week by the comptrol-
ler's office for a $15,000 service
station to be built by Carlos S.
