Stevenson Proposes
Patrol Of Borders
In Southeast Asia
Atthe UNITED NATIONS, Ambassador Adlai Stevenson declared
that order would be restored in
Southeast Asia and U.S, military
aid withdrawn when an enforceable decision is reached, freeing
Laos, Viet Nam and Cambodia of
all foreign intervention and subversion. He proposed a patrol of
the Viet-Nam-Cambodia border,
composed of Viet Namese and
Cambodian troops either reporting to U Thant, or under U.N.
command, or composed entirely
of U.N. troops.
Communist CHINA reacted
strongly against the border-guard
proposal, contending that the
U.S. had opposed Cambodia's request fora Geneva Conference to
settle the Indo-China problem,
and wanted to bring in the U.N.
instead because the U.N, is under
U.S. control.

$1 million worth of highly
lethal plutonium, called "the
most expensive, toxic material
ever produced by man" has been
lost in space somewhere near
Africa. The 2.21b. of plutonium
238 was contained in a small
atomic battery powering a satellitewhich, because a technician
failed to throw a switch, did not
gointoorbit. Its nuclear payload
dropped into the atmosphere off
the east coast of Africa. Plutonium ‘is so toxic that the maximum permissible amount in the
body of an atomic worker is 2
billionths of agram. The Atomic
Energy Commission hopes and expects that the battery burned up on
reentering the atmosphere and the
plutonium vaporized and diffused
around the earth athigh altitudes.
If by chance the device did not
burn, indications are that it would
have plunged into the Indian
Ocean,

Former Pres. Eisenhower, frequently asked toname the Republican presidential candidate of his
choice, declined to “dictate” to
his party whom it should nominate, but instead gave the NEW
YORK Herald Tribune a set of
principles to which he felt a Republican candidate should adhere,
Ike's candidate would be "responsible" and "forward-looking", believing in "limited" but "effective and humane” government,
and supporting Social Security,
the minimum wage, medicalaid
for the aged, urban renewal and
depressed-area legislation. "As
the party of Lincoln", Eisenhower
said,"..Republicans have a
particular obligation to be vigorous in the area of civil rights."
In foreign affairs, the Republican's “overriding concern” should
be “the maintainance of peace
w hile protecting and extending
freedom. " This required superior
military strength and a productive
economy without “unnecessary
and wasteful military expenditures", support of the U.N.,
foreign aid, the peaceful use’of
space, and patient efforts to lower
barriers between East and West.

InaTVinterview from WASHINGTON, Sen. Barry Goldwater
gave his views on how to win "this
little war" in Viet Nam. He urged
the bombing of bridges, roads and
railroads used for bringing sup~
plies from Communist China and
North Viet Nam. He said supply
roads could be easily located by
defoliating the jungle with lowyield nuclear weapons, but that
he did not think the U.S. would
use such weapons. He recommended cutting off China's

the war with Germany

George Kennan, former ambassador toRussia and Yugoslavia,
interviewed in SACRA MENTO,
May 22, said that Pres, de
Gaulle's proposal for neutralization of southeast Asia seemed to
him the best solution to the problem. Guerrilla movements, he
said, are largely political and
cannot be stopped by military
incans alone.
A stable boy at 12, a horse shoer
at 14 on the sidewalks of San
Francisco, and still proud to ply
his trade today as he approaches
his 73rd birthday--that's the life
story of EdGrady, 188 1/2 SquirrelCreekRd., Grass Valley, still
active despite a near fatal heart
attack six years ago. ;
Grady who shod all the horses
at the Treasure Island World's Fair
is well known as a master of his
craft among horsemen throughout
the state, and was brought to
Grass Valley by Henry Freitas,
manager of Loma Rica Thoroughbredranch, following his attack.
Grady recalls,"I wasn't able to
work for a year, but my first iob
here was 40 head for Loma Rica-I was proud to do it." :
Helen, his wife of 36 years,
relates that the doctor ordered an
altitude of 2000 feet, or oxygen
in the house at all times. "Grass
Valley has been goodtohim, he
now :shoes-two=head:a day, and
his health isexcellent. "
The couple reared four children,’sons Par and John and
daughters Mrs. Catherine Hayes
of Burlingame and Mrs, Cecilia
McDouell of San Jose. Pat took
over his dad's horse shoeing business in the penninsula, and John
isa carpenter in San Jose. All 11
grandchildren like to visit Grass
Valley and ride grampa's horses,
Mrs, Grady says. Not all of them
have roomto keep horses of their
own.
Grady recalls setting up his first
shop at age 14 in 1906 just three
months after the San Francisco
quake, "Ishod them right on the
)
sidewalk, no one could get lumberto build. I was busy then and
I've been busy every since. ”
He spent 35 years shoeing horses
in Redwood City, and has worked
at his trade now for 58 years.
Itwas at the San Francisco Exposition that he shod the "biggest
horse in the world” with a back,
he says, like a double bed.
"It took 36 inches of iron to
make one shoe~-a yard around.
The horse weighed 3, 600 pounds,
and when they took him for a
walk, he broke the sidewalk and
it cost the owner $3000 to repair
it!"
He recalls also shoeing the
world's smallest horse in 1910 at
the Pantagestheater. "It weighed
96 pounds and I had to get down
on the floor to work. “
He has also shod a horse billed
as the "smartest horse in the
world", and although he has forgotten the owner's name he still
remembers the horse's tricks,
done without any sign or contact,
only by oral direction.
. Heart Attack Doesn’t Stop Shoer
"He really was the smartest.
’ His owner lived with him from the
time he was a colt. He could do
"anything. He shut doors, picked
up tack, shoved intruders aside.
He picked up his sore hoof to show
me which one to be careful of, "
As a family man he recalls
taking a truckload of children to
Yosemite every year. He currently assists with children's over night
trail rides with the Nevada County
Horsemen's association. Both his
wife and he are active members
’ of the group.
Grady keeps two horses of his
own now, his big buckskin, appropriately named “Buck”, and
his bay pacer, “Don”, now 25,
w hich he purchased as a threeyear-old,
A proudold gent in worn bluejeans, wearing an old straw hat
and fitting his big buckskin horse
like a fixture, can be sé€en almost
everyday riding along local highways and byways and refusing to
head intothe sunset. Tip your hat
to him, he's a master.

landowners to move forward in
their soil and water conservation
efforts, "
Under this memorandum of understanding, Congressman Johnson said, the Department of Agriculture will continue to cooperate
with and assist these districts in
carrying out their longtime soil
and water conservation and resource -use programs, which programs have also been updated and
modernized,
“Such cooperation and assistance", commented Congressman
Johnson, “may include programs
involving soil and water conservation, watershed protection, flood
prevention, farm forestry, and
rural area development and encompassing research, education,
