“Will Rogers Jr. kicked up
a storm in California when
that state appropriated
‘only’ $7 million per year for
its state parks.
He called it a ‘half a
loaf, afterthought’ budget
provision. He pointed out the
state needed $12 million
minimum to do a Califor-
nia-style job. He warned
the state would lose lots of
tourist revenue and pros-
pective residents.
Wonder what the famed
comedian’s son would have
done had he been a Texan?
For our state parks this
vestigation and give Chicago po- j
lice no information.
For their part, Chicago police
theorized the gang was familiar j ma in
with local mail operations and, in M‘■
fact, might have been Post Office
Department employes stealing the
mail they were paid to deliver.
The shooting in a railroad area
just south of the Loop was wit-
nessed by Winton Murray, 26, a
truck driver.

er meet today to discuss the Al-
lied stand on Berlin and strategy

ing in May.
The President scheduled a
morning conference with Aden-
auer, who arrived Monday night
from Princeton University where
he received an honorary degree.
He also was invited to a White
House stag lunch.
AdenaUer told his Princeton
audience that while the West
seeks a solution to global dif-
ferences it should not be impres-
sed by Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev's gestures of streng-j
th and "even less by his threats.” j
What is at stake in the German
question is the freedom of 2,500,- j
000 Berliners, he said. But what
is at stake in the overall Ger-
man picture “is the defense of
freedom everywhere.”
Adenauer, en route to Japan to
make a state visit, was reported
anxious to caution Eisenhower
against any retreat on West Ber-
lin that could he interpreted as a
surrender to the Russians.
The President generally has j

cessions would be made to Rus-

Eisenhower has pledged that
