The United

Stevenson Leads Nixon in
Nationwide Presidential Trial

BY Kenneth Fink, Director,

Princeton, New Jersey - How
would citizens across the u. S. A
vote today for President if for
mer Illinois Gov. Adlai Steven

Dental candidate and Vice Presi-
dent Nixon were the Republican?
Results of the latest United States
Poll survey findings indicate that
the 1852 Democratic Presidential
candidate would win over his Re-
publican opponent. When United
States Poll staff reporters put the
following question to a represen-
tative crO~Ss-section of the nations
voters:
Suppose the Presidential
election were being held today.
If Vice President Nixon were
the Republican candidate and
former Governor Adlai Steven
son were the Democratic candi-
date, which one would Won like

Nixon or the Democrat Steven
sOn?'
The results:
Nationwide

Nixon 44.4%

With the 4.4% who said they
were undecided eliminated. the
vote divides 53.6 per cent for
Mr.. Stevenson and aga per cent
for Mr.. Nixon.

findings is the fact that indie

founding fathers quite clearly did
not intend the public school system
to be a feredal function. All evil
dence points to the fact the authors
Of our Republics Constitution
meant education to be state or
private responsibility
The public school as it has de-
veloped in America has been the
responsibility of state and local
governments. Each community has
cherished its right to decide how
its children shall be educated. Any
program that transfers a part or
all of that right on a nationwide
basis 20 the federal government
must bring with it a new concept
in our theory of public education.
The issue has come TO head be-
cause some communities are find
ing il increasingly hard to finance
new schools and additional teach
ers under their present tax struc-
ture Much more is involved than
just furnishing federal money TO
help these communities meet their
needs. What is involved is the role
of the federal government in our
public educational system. For it
cannot be denied that with federal
funds comes federal influence, if
not outright control.
l would like TO draw attention to
one argument in favor Of federal
aid. It is the one which implies that

Children Expect
Realistic Toys

Santa's helpers, the toymakers
of America, made something like
$500 million worth of toys last
year, using up a fabulous supply
Of plastics, paints and lacquers,
adhesives and other new materials
developed by industrial chemistry.
Toy consumers-Ameriea's pre-
cocious children-have come to de-
mand a realism in toys that was
unheard of a few years ago. If a
youngster gets toy automobile,
it must look like one of the latest
styles he sees on the highways, a
jet airplane must look like the pic
lures he sees in magazines. Most
little girls won't look a second
time at any doll that doesn't cry,
walk, have washable hair and
wardrobe that ranges from eve
ming clothes to a bikini bathing
suit.
Expected to be big hits among
toys this Christmas season are all
various types of "do-it-yourself'
kits for youngsters of all ages
kits they can use to make prac-
tically everything from atomic
submarines to 1855 model sports
cars. In addition to do-it-yourself
packages for advanced children,
most manufacturer this year also
are furnishing the completely as
sembled toy for the younger set.

Diq-These Cruzy
Christmas Gifts

Even Christmas has caught up
with the atomic age. A sign of the
times is the increasing demand for
Geiger counters as Christmas gifts.
Manufacturers say people from all
over the country are giving as
presents the miracle instrument
that noses out uranium.
If you're buying a gift for a pros
pective uranium prospector you
can get him one of these radio
activity detection devices at prices
ranging from $24.95 to $1,000. Most
popular model, manufacturers say,
is about the size Of miniature
camera and retails for about $35.
Uranium hounds" are as varied
as the instruments they buy. They
range from housewives with in
fants in their arms to biologists
and hirsute prospectors - as well
as business tycoons, clerks. la
borers and society women. An am
ateur uranium prospectors' club
In the East, composed entirely of
women, is known as the "Geiger
Widows"
Last year gift Geigers were
mailed all over the United States.

Harvesting Trees Big
Christmas Business

While the sale Of Christmas trees
to the consumer is conducted en-
tirely in the few weeks just prior
to Christmas. the harvesting, pro-
cessing and shipping Of the trees

ing for about 25 cents per Ineal
foot will be worth about 6 cents

Christmas tree associations and

ting better, safer, speedier access
to deteriorating facilities. For the
facilities to feed and house these
visitors and to provide for proper
administration of our park systems
have Jagged far behind.
1t is understandable that work
on park facilities was sharply cur
tailed during the war. 1t is under
standable, too, that these facilities
started to fall apart. When the war
ended, and the travel boom was on,
Congress should have increased sub
stantially the appropriations for our
parks. Congress did not. AS a result,
we need new facilities of all kinds
campgrounds, water, garbage, and
sewage systems. We need more rang
ers to protect these scenic areas and
to protect the careless from them
selves.
Because the need for so many addi-
tional facilities throughout the park
system is so urgent, I believe the ST
million appropriation cut should be
restored. And the appropriation
should be increased by $560,000 to
cover the projects added by the
House.
This would permit completion of
the projects already started and pro-
vide for the work scheduled in the
approved by the House.
