End. he'd have won by a whopping
big margin.
Mollie Nesbitt had lived in Hill

we found out about her sister
Elsie. We heard the news from
Mrs. Parker, who seemed a wee
bit ashamed for not having dis.

The poor soul hasn't seen Elsie
IN more than ten years"
"Why?" asked Mayor Fulcrum.
"Mollie says her sister lives out
west; guess she just can't afford
to buy a round-trip ticket"
She works at PhiIs Diner.

"She works ut PhiI's Diner.

mayor.
doesn't she?" mumbled the mayor
stuffing Christmas candy into his
mouth. Phil pays her, I pre-
sumo"
She's always helping someone"
said young Mrs. Rogers with a
frown, as she reached for the
mayors candy bowl. whenever
any n of us needs a baby sitter
we think of Mollie Nesbitt. When
the children want a sucker. or
klte-string, or pick up a sliver-it's
always Mollie Nesbitt."
Why doesn't she call her sister
on the phone?" asked the mayor.
Then. turning his back on u little
group. he strobe of in search Of
new tid-bits.
Good Ideo

Mrs. Rogers raised the bowl men.

Mrs. Rogers grinned. 81 wouldn't

think his honor has q good idea.
Why not have MolIia cali her sis.

all owe her . holiday gift"
We all heartily agreed. The NAV.
or himself said that the plan was
q dandy when We told him about
II. He promised to write to Elsie
to make sure she'd be home when
the call came through: It wouldn't
be a surprise. or a present. if
Elsie weren't at the other end Of
line on New Years Eve.
When Mollie Nesbitt left Phirs
Diner on New Years Eve it was
showing. When she reached home
II was showing harder. BY the
time she opened the front door to
admit our joyous delegation a reg.
ular blizzard was under way. We
charged the telephone, Carving
Mollie with US. She let out a suueaI
81 delight when we told her hat
she'd soon be talking to Elsie. Her
eyes grew bright with anticipation
"hen Mrs. Parker placed the call.
Then Mrs. Parker clipped our
chatter. Her face was grim as she
.aced US:
Martha Weeks says the lines
ire down. Big snow storm out
vest. Wen not be able to talk to
elsie tonight"
We were stunned. MoIlie sat stin
awhile. trying not to look too
.lsappointed. A bit later she
rotted into the kitchen for a tray
I cookies. but they stuck in our
nroats.

Let's Nail 1t Down

If true, the testimony given before an
FEC hearing examiner in the Lamb radio
TV license case has the makings of reek-
ing national scandal.
No one should assume that the testi-
mony Is true. The fact remains, however,
that a self-styled former Communists
witness on whom the Government once
relied-now says, under oath, that he was
induced to give false testimony by FEC
attorneys
The chief counsel for the FEC says
that "any suggestion that any one on the
commission staff improperly induced testi-
mony is wholly unfounded and patiently
false" It will not be enough, however, for
the FEC to be content to stop with this
declaration. When the time comes for the
Government to crosse examine this witness
Lowell Watson-every effort should be
made to nail down his testimony as tightly
as possible. He should be compelled to
name names and give the fullest details of
the instances in which he says he was in
duced to give false testimony.
This is the only way to lay foundation
for a subsequent investigation which may
show conclusively whether the testimony
actually is wholly unfounded and patiently
false"

basic American industries. ITO do so," Mr..
Martin said, would be for his own adminis-
tration to suffer"
It was understandable that many men,
bers opposed the legislation because Of
concern about industries in their districts.
Imports Of Japanese textiles and pottery,
for example, do affect the domestic market
for these same goods produced in the
United States. There are other comparable
cases. At the same time. the export market
for some Of these same industries is an
important consideration and it is reason
able to assume that the principle Of reci-
procity, and of mutual benefit, will be a
first concern in the Presidents use Of the
tariff reducing authority.
A return to high protective tariffs, If
such were to become the alternative, would
be a step toward economic isolationism. In
the case of our relations with many coun-
tries-Japan for instance-it would be
step toward kind of self-imposed political
isolation. This is an aspect of this matter
which should never be out Of our minds
