within reason. the biblical injunction,
Spare the rod and spoil the child"
There's little wrong with these kids
that a good dose of leather belt
wouldn't cure. If you've ever driven
young, fresh-broken horses you know
they'll break their necks and yours if
you give them their head.
These kids are basically to blame.
They're the end-product Of lot of
nonsense about "self-expression" pro-
mulgated by alleged child psychologists
who themselves ought to be under OBJ
servation. Swallowing that bunk, many
parents give in to the kids. Others let
their kids get away with anything just
so the kids don't interfere with the
parents pleasures. It's question
whether some people are fit to be
parents. They don't show any signs OF
it by the way they bring up their kids.
Give police and judges the power to
dish out good larruping with leather
belt (doing the job the parents should
do) and child delinquency wouldn't be
anything like the problem it is.

Mr.. Donoher to the Bench

The nomination of John A. Danaher to the
United States Court of Appeals for the District
is disappointing not because of any inadequacy
on his part, but because it is choice which
seems to have been influenced primarily by
political considerations.
Mr.. Danaher had been considered for
vacancy on the United States Court of Appeals
for the Second Circuit. He had been Endorsed
by Republican leaders in Connecticut his home
State, and had been declared fully qualified by
the Connecticut Bar Association. However,
group within the bar association, aided by some
lawyers from New York, which is also in the
Second Circuit, were opposed to Mr.. Danaher.
They wanted the Second Circuit post to go to
Federal District Judge Carroll c. Hincks, also
of Connecticut.
This situation posed something of politi-
cal dilemma for the Eisenhower administration.
According to The Hartford Comm Courant
however, Republican leaders in the State re-
ceived word from Washington about week ago
that the controversy had been settled" Still
according to The Courant, "they (the Republ-
can leaders, were advised by Washington off,
cials to remain silent on the matter, and they
did" This version seems to be SubStantiated
by the comment of Connecticut Senator Pres
colt Bush when he learned of the Danaher
nomination. "The nomination." he said, "iS
doubly welcome in that it would appear to clear
the way for the well-deserved promotion of
Judge Hncks."
So everybody who counts politically is
happy. Mr.. Danaher goes to the bench here.
Judge Hincks is in line for promotion in the
Second Circuit. And the Republican politicians
in Connecticut are content.
But what about the politically unimportant
District of Columbia? The vacancy on the Court
of Appeals here resulted from the death OF
Judge James M. Proctor, native Washington
ian who had served with distinction in the Dis
trict Court before being advanced to the ap-
pellate tribunal. In filling the vacancy, was
any consideration given to the needs or the
wishes, of this community? Evidently not. The
Star hopes that Mr.. Danaher will make a COM
petent Judge, and knows of no reason to expect
the contrary. He is not a stranger to this city,
having served one term in the Senate, and
having maintained a branch Office here in
connection with his Connecticut law practice
But the fact remains that political considera-
tions wholly foreign to the needs and wishes
of the Nations Capital seem to have dictated
his nomination. It may be said that this sort
OF thing has happened before, and, no doubt,
will happen again. Maybe so. But the result
nevertheless is a situation which is a source
of legitimate disappointment to Washington,
and which is fully deserving of protest

Not Only the Dead

"Denounce but do not deny" This
slogan that seems to be used by many
who are ready at the slightest provo
cation to attack any attempt at the
exposure of Communists, their plots or
their influence. Your September 18
editorial entitled mot Only the Dead"
is just such a piece. The editorial
thoroughly denounceS the House Un-
American Activities Committee in sew
eral paragraphs but it very pointedly
does not deny the accuracy of the
testimony released by that committee.
Your editorial might conceivably have
merit If it provided such inaccuracies
if they exist. Let's deal with the specific
points rather than denounce in gen.
eralities.
Would you have all history rewritten
In sweetness and light" regarding per-
sons who have passed on regardless of
their past actions? If so, why the any
thing but complimentary piece by Doris
Fleeson about Senator Robert A. Taft

The expiration of LILA contracts and the
union leaderships demands for higher wage
rates and other working concessions have pro-
vided the pretext for the current strike. In a

the national welfare and the interests of the

They had something better to look for

from pay check to pay check or we

such things as some of the more i'm

some enlightened person will come up
with a new plan, a new way of living.
In the meantime, what do we do?
Punish the children for stealing what
their parents can't afford to give them
or punish the parents for the frustra-
ton Of not being able to do more mate

Nancy Lee Weaver.
There is something very ludicrous
and at the same time quite sinister in
the hullahalloo and especially in the
contents Of the articles and editorials
appearing with reference to the juvenile
delinquency problem.
Now we have Judge Myers advocat-
Ing a law making parents financially
responsible for the depredations of
their legal infants. Is it necessary to
make a specific law to that effect?
Haven't parents always been considered
responsible for such damages? In Eng
lish common law-the base Of our legal
structure until recent socialistic ten

were responsible and are responsible!

down all taboos have changed the cli-

consequently the power and cohesion
of the individual family has been lost.

Poined by CoIumnist

The illustrious columnist, David
Lawrence in his column of September
% must give many patriotic Americans
a feeling described as "a pain in the
neck" Because our President is too
big to be narrowly partisan. Mr.
Lawrence can't agree with the states
manlike address he delivered in Boston
the previous day. He confuSes patriot
ism with partiSanship. This writer, for
one, has never heralded Dwight EiSen-
hover as cheap politician. out to help
build the prestige of any political party,
as his chief objective. The people OF
America, who by an overwhelming
majority voted him into office, could
never have thought of him in such
terms on the basis Of his whole public
career, which is so we'll known to us
all. All his acts and utterances breathe
OF spirit of patriotism and appeal to
all Americans to unite IN a common
cause-that of the genuine welfare of
the republic.
Mr.. Lawrence would have it appear
that the Boston address was ambiguous
and cites sentences and paragraphs
that we. the average reader, would not
understand He well knows that every
one understands very clearly what the
President is saying. 1t is crystal clear
that like some of his great predecessors,
like Lincoln, Jefferson. Theodore Roose-
velt and Woodrow Wilson. he is ap-
pealing to the deepest and best in us
as American citizens, rather than to
blind partisanship-but at the same
time making a much stronger case for
his party than would be possible by
putting party first and principles
second.

both pro and con, about a national
sales tax. According to most of the
speakers it is violently discriminatory
against the poor, or it is the one sure
way to balance fairly the tax structure.
It is. of course, neither one.
A national sales tax is precisely what
it is made to be. 1t is neither good nor
bad until a specific law has been written
out so that it may be considered It
can be good or bad Right now neither
we the public nor the proponents nor
opponents of the sales tax can possibly
know whether it is bad or good. That
question could be answered only after
we see what kind of tax Congress
might be persuaded to pass.
The biggest factor in favor of a
a national sales tax is, believe, that
it is way to get some return from
regular land often legaD tax-dodgers.
1 think that the next big source of
additional revenue in this country
should be the tapping of those whom the
income-tax structure cannot milk ef-
fectively: walters, small businessmen,
expenses account statesmen, etc..
The tax-dodger cannot safely bank
his money, or invest it. etc., but he can
and does live a much more expensive
life than the salaried man who (perhaps
through necessity more than honestly
pays his full share of tax.
Thus, in principle, I think we need
some form of national retail sales tax

Ah0m MuuS0u Schools

On the face of the election returns last week 1t
might appear that Munson school district had voted
against their school, If this the it would be
very unusual event in Geauga where schools have re-
ceived constant and answering support
1t was other factors than the school that led to the
defeat of the school proposal and these issues going
to have to be faced and at least partially resolved if
Munson is going to function a community.
The primary factor in defeating the issue was the
tvng it in with proposed gift" of land from Bass
Lake Community The gift" had many strings tied to
it including building road that was estimated to
cost as much as the land worth.
The gift" should be dealt with separately. 1t is
separate issue from the building of school and should
be considered separately.
Munson school district voters also placed in
the position that Yes vote also implied their present
school structure would be unked The present MunSOn
school building at present prices represents approx
maely fifty thousand dollar investment. 1t is likely
that substantial enough portion of the Munson voters
will feel they are rich enough to be able to afford
such waste to continue to defeat any proposal that does
not include utilizing the present building.
Another factor that contributed to the defeat of
the issue has been the growth of "cques separate
