An explanation Of this condition to Tan by an Amer

He informed that to have wealth in America,

work what they have This reflection not just
opinion but the collective judgment of groups of Euro

since World War II to learn why U. S. production is
much greater per hour, than production anywhere
else in the world.
It is the willingness Of Americans to really work,
and to work long hours necessary to get ahead that
sets most them aside from workers in other countries
It is also generally known that U. s. industry employs
machinery to far greater degree than the industries of
other countries.
There always some who not willing to work
hard, and who will live in areas, who not

There is small number who the victims Of fate and

When DR.. Campbell stood up at

started to speak, little did he think
that the truth that he would be
uttering would cause international

saying they knew about it all the

Mr.. N. c. Hines at city COM

only speaks the truth. "It sets you

The fact that hasn't been dis
cussed too much is that nobody
has denied the statements.
0bscured in all the turmoil is
another statement made by Camp
bell that he believed the band
should 60 to state band meet
where they would be judged by
ability and compared to other
bands in the state.
mot being too familiar with
"who is allowed to say what" in
Cuba would not be too much of
a judge on whether men in public
life should say anything that does
not fit In with an administration.
The Associated Press story con-
corning the incident stated that DR..
Campbell was not going to let the
band go to Cuba this year and that
Cuban men did not have a high
opinion of women. The statement
was not true.
DR.. Campbell actually said that
he would not permit the band to
make the trip unless adequate ar
rangements were made to insure
that the members would not have
to stay in the school building with
time on their hands while they
were not parading. He also stated
that he was insisting on adequate
protection.
It is pretty easy to see that his
interest is for the student band
members instead of so called good
relations.
I do not blame him for asking
that the members be given sight

ter Nehru offers his south Asian
neighbors political advice and

spare military power to back up
their defense.
India has a strong naval force
and likely the best air force east
Of Cairo and west of Communist
China. Its $40, 0,O00-man army, test
ed in two world wars, is tops in

Yet these combined forces offer
no security to south Asia nations

India has one eye today on rival

These two problems are more than
enough to keep India's armed

WASHINGTON R - The honey
moon between President Eisenhow-
er and the Democrats is over.
For two years, the President was
exempted from person attacks by
the Democratic leaders. Their
broadsides were aimed at that
faceless Republican group known
as 'sthe administration And, it
wasn't considered politically prof
table to assault the citadel Of Eli
senhower popularity.
Now Democratic heavy guns are
being trained on Eisenhower him
self for the first time since his
election. The prospects are that
the attacks will grow heavier,
rather than diminish, as the 1856
presidential election nears.
Paul Butler, newly elected Dem
ocratic national chairman, dis
closed last Sunday the new party
approached to the problem of a
popular COP president when he
said: "We intend to call to the
attention of the American people
President Eisenhower's lack of
capacity to govern and to unite
the people,"
Three days later, Gov.-elect Av-
erll Hartman of Nv York told
a Democratic victory dinner audi
nee in Kansas City: "We've got
to quit this business of excluding
President Eisenhower from criti-
cism of the unworthy campaign
tactics that have been adopted BY
the Republican party, and that he
| has condoned." Hartman said Eli
senhower must be held s.respon-
sible for the actions Of his lieu
party"
Democratic chiefs may have for
gotten it--but they were advised
| to follow this line Of political ac-
ton more than a year ago by
| that gruff old political warhorse
former Sen. Tom Connally of Tex
as.
Connally was shaking his head
even then over the ''we-like-Ike"
attitude of the Democrats. He held
| to the theory that anybody in the
opposition party was a political
enemy and should be treated as
such.
Party leaders now are swinging
around toward the Connally way of
thinking. The political reasons are
obvious:
For two years, Eisenhower has
enjoyed a remarkable freedom
from direct attacks by the Demo-
crats. Partly, it was because he
almost succeeded in creating the
Illusion that the office of the Presi-
dent was above and beyond poll
tics, and that he wasn't in the
political cockpit himself.
But for the most part the Demo-
crats held their fire because Of
Eisenhower's personal popularity
and this being the case - with
Democratic help = then he'll be
a hard man to unseat, assuming
he runs for office again.
In reality. the Democrats lassoed
themselves politically during the
past two years, and now they're
maneuvering to free themselves.
That's why the honeymoon with
Eisenhower has gone ph-ff-f-tl
