A "tremendous hope," that the "issue that comes out of the 19521 presidential campaign will be in favor of World Federalists," was voiced here last night by the vice president of the organization. Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review of Literature, presented this optimistic outlook to members and guests of the Delaware KOREAN VETERAN HOME VINELAND. N. June 4 (Special).

Nineteen year old Ligia Otero of 324 Maurice Street was bitten severely about the hands and arms by an angry dog which was in a tussle with her pet dog last night.

i GIFTS FOR FATHER (Father's Day June 15) at a meeting in the Christiana Community Center. He declared that, "our sovereignty today is in the hands of the Kremlin: they will decide what our taxes will be and the disposition of our troops." The editor said that, "human citizenship is the greatest citizenship that can exist." and he described this as "holding out our hands and knowing that our hands will be accepted." Mr. Cousins told the group that, "I think that is the destiny of America." Describes Korean War During his talk, he described conditions in Korea, where he conversed with an American sergeant. "I understand the people back home are worried about our morale," he quoted the sergeant as saying. He continued the serviceman's quotation as follows: "Whether or not we bomb China is no worry to us.

We do not try to second guess the brass. That's a job for the brass. But what worries us is do they know there's a war going on. "You can't even get enough blood to fill a tube. You can't tell us they know there's a war going on.

"Morale is the feeling that you are connected up with the folks back home. We just aren't getting that feeling that we are connected up." The speaker continued: "I didn't tell him we were connected up with the folks back heme because I don't think we are. I am not sure we are connected up with our past, or our future." He asserted that, if the United Nations had as many men available originally as were rushed into the field of combat eventually, "there would have been no' aggression." Because this country did nothing to prevent war. he said, "we have as much guilt for the blood of these boys as any that Russia has. We did nothing to prevent it." He asked the question: "What are we doing today to prevent a world-wide Korea? Are we saying our prosperity comes first? Are we cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world; operating within the circle of the cold war?" Purpose Outlined Purpose of the World Federalists, he said, is to combine' conscience OPEN-WEAVE SHiRT CHURCH NEWPORT RAISES 2 ROAD DEATHS with knowledge in an attempt to avert war.

Elimination of communists is not the answer, he contended, as long as the conditions that produce communism survive. Even if, overnight, "the evil masters of communism should vanish from the face of the earth," the basic problem would continue, Mr. Cousins said. "There are more than 1300,000,000 people shopping for revolution. All! that is happening is that Russia has appropriated their issue to her own drive," he said.

The only purpose that would be realized from elimination of every communist "would be that we would have a little more time; an accelerant would be removed; we would still haw the same basic conditions that made for war in the He declared that the human race today, "is stumbling in a darkened room of pits with a sword at its heart." His view of bombed-out cities of the world led to his expressed Belief that "the normal city of the twentieth century is a bombed city." He told the World Federalists group that, "we in the United States are an outpost on the fringe of reality," with the reality the destroyed cities. He said there is a failure to "undertake the great adventure of human recognition." No Spokesman for Man At another point in his address, he declared that "if we based our foreign philosophy on the Sermon On The Mount, we would be accused of hideous appeasement." No nation today speaks for man. Mr. Cousins said, adding that the United States speaks for the United States, Britain speaks for Britain and India for India. "Who represents you in this challenge to make this plant safe for the human race?" he asked.

He declared that the western philosophy held as superior to that of the east, is the wrong approach. "Every time we use the western civilization (against the east) we are perpetuating a fallacy. We are alienating ourselves from men," the speaker said. Mr. Cousins was introduced by Miss Helen Hutchinson of Georgetown.

Arrangements were under the direction of Mrs. S. Samuel Arsht and the Rev. H. Edgar Hammond, vicar of Old Swedes Church.

Robert Wheelwright, chairman of the Delaware Branch of United World Federalists, led a question and answer period. Ambulance Driver in N. J.

All Doy Saturday Public Seeks More Information on $800,000 Newark Program, Councilmen Told Special to the Morning News NEWARK. June 4. Increasing numbers of city property owners; are urging that more information; be made public on the proposed! $800,000 municipal bond issue, Councilman Carl S. Rankin, disclosed at last night's City Council meeting. He said that he and other coun cilmen are being subjected to' searching questions on the proposal! to extend sewer and water facilities to recently annexed city territories, The property owners must ap-j prove the plan through a referen-i dum before council can issue the bonds.

Stressing that "we cannot duck the issue," Mr. Rankin urged that more public meetings be held and that more details on the pro-i gram be published. Many Questions Asked The major questions being he said, is the full issue needed at this time? How will the money be raised to retire the bonds? Will it mean another in crease in property taxes? What is the capacity of the city's existing sewage treatment plant? Is it neces mg this plant? Mr. Rankin said council should i be prepared in the "immediate fu ture to make public full details on how. the project will be financed and exactly where the money will come from.

It is proposed that the bonds be retired through sewer and water charges, but people want to know, Mr. Rankin said, whether; property taxes will have to be raised to replenish general city funds now supplied from water charges. City Engineer Francis Neide said he believed that reasonably sound estimates could be worked up as to the number of new home units that will be added to the water and sewer systems through the exten sions and thus an estimate of the increase in sewer and water charges that will be necessary to each indi vidual. xxie councumen agreed wim ivir. Rankin that a public education program should be undertaken.

At least one more public meeting is planned before the referendum. No date has been set for this session nor for the vote. The latter was tentatively set for late" in July, but the indica-( tion last night was that it may have to be pushed back. Public Interest Increases At a recent public meeting on! the bond issue, only about 50 prop erty owners turned up, but interest has increased since then. Mr.

Ran kin indicated. He added that the first public session raised more ques tions than it answered. A proposal by Councilman Frank Durnall that the city's auditors survey the municipal accounts every; three months instead of merely once a year was approved by the lawmakers. Mr. Durnall advised the more frequent checks in order that the accountants could recommend improvements and "short-cuts" in the city's bookkeeping methods.

uounciiman Diehl was authorized to complete negotiations for increasing the city's liability in surance to cover the newly annexed! areas. THOMAS W. MULR00NEY HEADS GUIDANCE GROUP: Thomas W.
