Lee Sheppeard Quakers Urge UN Peace-Making
If waging war is not to be encouraged as a permanent function of the United Nations, what steps should be taken now to strengthen its peacemaking functions?
2. Avoid exerting pressure on other countries to accept the views of the United States.
"Steps To Peace," a pamphlet published by the Quakers' National Council for Prevention of War, offers the following suggestions, some of which are "immediately applicable."
3. Renew efforts to settle the Korean conflict by negotiation. The conflicting parties must have some assurance that the issues over which they took up arms will be given careful and just consideration by the UN Mediation Commission.
1. Move immediately to admit all applicants who will accept the responsibilities of membership.
5. Revive the procedure of arranging private meetings of the permanent members of the Security Council previous to the consideration by the Council itself of new problems.

Lincoln's Gettysburg address contained 266 words; the Ten Commandments contain 297 words; the Declaration of Independence contains 300 words; the OPS order to reduce the price of cabbage contains 26,911 words.
4. Secure the services of the ablest and most experienced personnel from member countries for the vitally important mediating and conciliating missions of the UN. (Schools of diplomacy are our most glaring need.)
He wouldn't mind so much, but he'd just put all his antifreeze in his car.
6. Keep constantly in mind that the whole structure of the United Nations is a continuing instrument of mediation and conciliation, which offers opportunity for constant contact between the diplomatic personnel of all countries for the resolving of both big and little conflicts and the prevention of conflicts from becoming deadlocks.

Does The 38th Parallel Cross Your Backyard?
By MARION KLIEWER
While negotiators in Korea are trying to work out some line suitable for a truce, some 3,000 Kansans may not realize that the 38th parallel runs right through their backyards.
A check reveals that nine Kansas towns are situated on the 38th parallel. Thousands of miles away from Kansas the Red Koreans have conceded that the 38th is no longer to be considered as the cease-fire line.
More than 3,000 persons live in these nine towns. Situated from east to west they are Harding, Xenia, Bayard, Carlyle, Neosho Falls, McLains, St. John, Nettleton, and Rodkey.
This line, which runs 68 miles from the southern border of the Sunflower state, cuts through 13 counties and 18 bodies of water.
Just within a few miles of that line are six of Kansas' larger cities. Iola is five miles south of the line; El Dorado, $11\frac{1}{2}$ miles to the south, and Wichita, about 20 miles to the south. Closer to the line are Newton and Hutchinson about four miles to the north, and at the western end of the state is Garden City, three miles to the south.
Beginning at the eastern end of the state the 38th crosses the Little Osage river in Bourbon county. In Allen it hits Deer creek and in Woodson, crosses Grand river and touches Turkey creek.
It traverses Willow and Slate creeks and East Fall river in Greenwood county. In Butler it's Cole creek and Whitewater river. In Harvey it's the Little Arkansas river.
The 38th crosses Big Cow creek in Reno county; Rattle Snake and Wild Horse creeks in Stafford; and Coon creek in Edwards. In Hodgeman it's Saw Log and Buckner creeks.
It brushes the Pawnee river in Finney and crosses Lake McKenney in Kearney and the Arkansas river in Hamilton.
In its encirclement of the globe the 38th parallel leaves its mark on 12 countries and 11 American states. Strangely enough, no major city of the world is situated on the line.
Entering California 14 miles north of San Francisco it runs through Yosemite National park and through the Sierra Nevadas. Continuing through Nevada and Utah it runs through Colorado at a point $ _{1/2} $ miles north of La Junta.
Skipping through Kansas it traverses 10 of Missouri's counties. At a point 41 miles south of St. Louis it leaps the Mississippi. The southern counties of Illinois and Indiana are clipped as it hits the Ohio river about 20 miles south of Louisville.
The 38th runs through Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia at a point 32 miles north of Richmond. Here it is only about 135 miles from the Mason-Dixon line, much more meaningful to Americans.
After a jump over the Atlantic through Portugal and Spain and over the Mediterranean, the 38th skirts the edge of Sicily and scratches the toe of the Italian boot. After a visit near Athens, Greece, it lands in Turkey and next visits turbulent Iran.
After a skip over the Caspian sea through southern Russia it scratches the northeastern tip of Afghanistan. Through China and over the Yellow sea the 38th returns to the land of its birth—Korea.
From here it crosses the Japanese mainland at a point 95 miles wide. Once again it begins its course of between 13 and 19,000 miles around the globe.
