An almost identical situation
prevails in the race between
Judy Garland and Grace Kelly.
The former has been a Holly
wood pet since childhood. q
survivor of the most harrow
ing anguishes of film stardom.
Miss Kelly Is a newcomer. She
is cool, poised, aloof and held
in a kind Of awed admiration
for intimating that Hollywood
is more likely to "go Kelly"
than she perform the reverse
feat.
Judy and Grace, Too
So far, most of the garlands
(pun unavoidable) have gone
to Miss Kelly as the actress
of 1854. The Academy, exer-
cising its inalienable right Of
dissent. could pull a dramatic
surprise here. And might very
well do so.
1t also might. but with less
impact and less likelihood,
choose THE Country Girl"
over ION the Waterfront" as
the years best picture.
Otherwise, 1t is expected to
follow form which in this de-
partment's guess will be:
Best director-Elia Kazan,
ION the Waterfront"
Best supporting actress-Jan
Sterling, THE High and
Mighty"
Best supporting actor--Karl

Best written screenplay--

EXCLUSIVELY
YOURS
Will Nixol1s Cancel Trip
Because OF Ike S Illness?
BY BETTY BEALE

That's no joke. There have
: been two distinct schools Of
thought on this subject and the
questions been under consider
alton at the State Department.
Both on their Far Eastern
and Carbide trips. Mrs.
Nixon dispensed candy and
cigarettes TO people In institu-
tions and to O few on the
streets. A State Department
security man who followed her
everywhere carried o basket
filled with each product.
Some foreign experts cringed
at the thought of an Ameri-
can VIP handing out gifts In
the Lady Bountiful manner in
foreign countries.
On the other hand the
Nixons thought the idea was
such o good one they paid for
the gifts out Of their own
pockets. But they didn't
have to load their plane
down with the sweets and
smokes department.
Before each Of these trips
the State Department has
wired the American embassies
In the capitals TO be visited
and asked that o good supply
Of both products be amassed,

Vice President Nixon's ONCE
reported yesterday that no
one has even thought about
whether or not he should can
Gel his Forthcoming trip to the
Middle East In view OF the
Presidents illness.
In the rush Of calls that has
been plaguing the Nixon stan
ever since the President was
stricken, the possibility that
he might not go on the early
November journey had not ap-
parently dawned on those
around him.
The fact that his office was
operating In full force on q
Sunday afternoon indicates,
however. what q stream Of i'm
portant calls were suddenly
directed toward Richard Nixon
as the result Of the Presidents
heart attack. What q differ

spot that's the Middle East. Is

candy and cigarettes In that
part Of the world. as she has
done on previous trips?

noting that they would be re-
imbursed for the cost. This
time the department added an
'if" clause to the wires said
to get candy and cigarettes
ready for distribution II the
embassy experts thought such
gifts would be well received.

Dear Sir,
We Ohioans are now paying into
the State Treasury 70 times more
than 40 years ago.
Note that figure carefully. It
has nothing to do with income tax
es or Federal taxes of any kind. 1t
has to do only with your state.
Please note again that the in
crease is not 70 per cent. 1t is 70
TIMES OVER, OR 1000 PER
CENT.
State taxes take $3.50 per year
out of the pockets of each family
in Ohio, and the figure is rising
faster and faster
The tax-take is going up like a
balloon at the county fair. It ISN'T
yet out of sight, but it will be.
Let no politician tell you this
isn't any fur off your hide; it is.
The citizens pay all taxes whether
in increased prices, or increased
taxes.
If a trucker pays a stepped-up
tax, it reflects promptly in a high
er cost of what he transports. All
taxes, in the long run, rest on the
people. There's no free lunch coun-
ter any more.
Perhaps you bought a house, and
paid for it month after month, till
at last it was yours. 1t isn't really
yours any more, because you find
yourself now paying as much each
year, in taxes on it, as once you
had to pay in payments when you
were buying it. And this time,
there isn't any final payment.
This isn't a romantic topic, but
it's an important one. There's no.
thing fascinating about economy,
but there's a lot of comfort about
the effects of economy.
This winter finds the tax-eaters
lined up a dozen deep at the money
windows Of your Assembly, and
the pressure is terrific.
The various groups are demand
ing bigger and better bonanzas.
They are organized and effective,
and they will make common cause,
at the outset, to break the legisla-
tors resistance.
The Takers and Spenders march
behind Governor Lausche. The
Governor says, in effect, that there
is nothing unpleasant about Ohio's
habitual waste, because other
states are just as bad. This isn't
quite true, of course. Relatively
few states can match our rapid
rate of increase of money-leakage.
Even if it were true, it would be
cold comfort. It brings no joy to
the central figure at a hanging, to
be told that he's the fortieth or
fiftieth guest at the same gallows.
This isn't an attack upon the
Representatives or Senators from

Farmers Club Holds
First 1855 Meeting

The first meeting in 1855 of the
Madison County Farmers Club
was held February 18th, in the
Sedalia Presbyterian Church, with
Rodger Baker presiding and Mrs.
Percy Rider, secretary-treasurer.
This new church, with its bright
CHEEKY chapel is an invitation to
worship.
Following the opening of the
club meeting there were songs
and readings by two teen-agers.
Mr.. Robert Hegler, of the Sc
dalia neighborhood, gave a talk
on Mexico. In the short time al
loted to him he touched on many
subjects pertaining to the country,
its land, agriculture, people and
sports.
