Washington Letter = By Robert Nelson ToYlor

American Legion junior baseball
sponsors 10000 teen-age league
teams, has given recreation and
training in sportsmanship to 20 mil
lion young Americans. Boys State
and Boys Nation, a national high
school oratorical contest and 4,128
Boy Scout Troops across the nation
are sponsored by The Legion. And
these are but few of its con-
structive ana largely unpublicized
responsibilities.
During the Korean War, the Le-
gion sent thousands and thousands
of tape-recorded messages from the
and brothers and husbands-on
which the recipients could record
a return message. One grateful CT,
who signed himself Johnny, True
Friend, wrote the Legion: "Sir, it
makes one feel grand to know that
somewhere someone is giving him
a helping hand"
Obviously, it makes the Legion
naires feel grand" to do the help

nothing bigger than being a buddy

didates in the newspaper election
reports, you might like to know how
T. Coleman Andrews and Thomas
Werdel made out.
Unofficial returns from IL of the
16 states in which it was possible
to vote for the independents (there
have been no reports yet from
California, Maryland, New Mexico,
Oregon and Pennsylvania show a
total of 277,028 votes.
This is pretty small potatoes, of
course-unless you consider that
finances may play part in success

suits secured on a 100000 war chest
over the seven million dollar COP
fund gives a total of 64,547, ,524
votes-if you like arithmetic!
Mr.. Andrews, the self-styled
weekend candidate" who finds
it necessary to devote considerable
of his time all year round to MAX
ing a living, declared that the '56
campaign was ''just the beginning
of a fight. And certainly those who
are aware of the progress toward
socialism and the damage already
inflicted on the Constitution will
share Mr.. Andrews conviction that
sit would be a mistake not to con-
tinue this fight"

machinery reducing the need for
hand labor. Inventors-of govern
ment or bank officials deserve
thanks that the cost of living is no
higher than it is today. Neyerthe-
less, l forecast that automation, in
Guiding electronics and nuclear
power, will become great indus
tries. All readers will be greatly
interested in George R. Harrison's
books, WHAT MAN MAY BE" and
"ATOMS IN ACTION.
What About Stocks?
The N. Y. Stock Exchange for the
first time in history is urging that
savings be put into stocks now in
stead of into savings banks, life
Insurance, and other such stan
dard investments. Only the future
can tell whether this advice is good.
For the past ten years the prices
of stocks have been advancing, but
how long will this continue? For
every person who now buys stocks
some other person, equally wise,
must De Sellng THESE same STOCKS.
What would happen if all persons
should decide now to sell instead
of to buy?
Finally, let me remind readers
that the cost OF plant, book value,
and various other statistics do not
determine the value of stock or
the price which you receive when
you want the cash. Ultimately, the
price of a stock depends upon the
earnings. Initiation increases costs
for corporations as well as for
individuals and governments. Eisen-
h0wer's reelection cannot prevent
dividends from being cut. Reduced
dividends mean that the U. S. must
increase taxes.

Do You Want To Help?

The first of his fellow clergymen
to greet Hungary's indomitable
Carndinal Mindszenty after the
Hungarian army had freed him dur
ing the Inflated revolution was the
Rev. Fabian Flynn, field director
in Austria for the Catholic Relief
Services-National Catholic Well
fare. Conference. Father Flynn was
also one of the last to be with the
Cardinal before his eight year in
QUESTION began, since they were
travelling together when the Pri-
mate of Hungary was arrested il
December 1948.
1.-THE Cardinals first words, re-
ports Father Flynn, who crossed
the border to pay his respects to
this courageous man in Budapest,
"were of appeal for aid to the suffer
ing people of Hungary"
Since that time, the treacherous
Russian kidnap of the revolution
ary massacre of the patriots who
dared to meet Red armor with bare
fists have made the Cardinals plea
in the bloody of human freedom.
It is against this heart-rending
background of brutality and suff-
ering and need that the Catholic
Relief Services here in America
launch the eighth annual Catholic
Bishops Thanksgiving Clothing
Collection which will take place
throughout the U. S. during the
week of November 18th to 25th.
Since this drive was inaugurated
in 1949, more than seventy million
pounds of clothing, blankets, shoes
and other relief material-repre-
senting 170 million items of used
wearing apparefhave been shipped
from America and distributed to
the stricken people and refugees
of Europe, the Near and Far East
and many of the countries of South
America and Africa.
In this mounting annual accom-
Dlishment, the Catholic Relief Ser
vices-NCWC have conducted a
practical and vital service to suff-
aring humanity-no matter the
race, color or creed-and have
demonstrated as well an efficiency
that is outstanding in charitable
operations Today's critical and
growing need for the things-you-
do-not-need strongly suggests that
Americans of every faith clean out
their closets now-and ask their
Catholic friends how to add their
contribution to the Catholic BIZ
shons' Thanksgiving Clothing Sol
lection.

social security and bank deposits
and insurance will buy. We should
forget all about dollars and think
only of what can be purchased in
terms of food, rent, clothing, edu-
cation, entertainment, etc. / def
nitely forecast that the cost of liv-
ing will gradually increase dur
ing the next four years of the Re-
publican Administration.
The promise of new highways,
slum clearance and other worthy
projects will all cost more than
expected. When you go under a
new steel bridge on one of these
new highways, remember that from
1916, when the Employment Act
became law, to the present time, the
price of steel has just about doub-
led. Certainly the automobile in
dustry and most of the increase
in all plant capacity depend on
steel. Steel and related industries
employ 500 of our mass p-oduc-
tion workers.
Interesting Statistics
The expenditures Wnlcn can de-
pend on government money will
continue, but expenditures for pro-
ducts bought on installments may
suffer. Here are some more figures
to think Overt Since 1899 the, Gov
ernment debt has increased from
$40 billion TO s275 hillion result
ing in an increase in the money
supply from s63 billion to s213 bill
lion and private debt has risen
from s125 billion to around $3.50
billion.
The great surprise to econo-
mists is that the cost of living has
not gone up more during this
neriod. The main reason is the new
inventions and installation of new

WHAT CROWDS MEAN

How much Importance should be attach
ed to campaign crowds? Those whose bread
and butter depends on correctly guessing po-
litical trends, such as politicians, newspaper
men and financiers, have been of two minds
about it.
Some think that large crowd indicates
only curiosity to see controversial figure.
William J. Bryan drew immensely in his
three unsuccessful races for the presidency
Many more people came out to see Al Smith
than his victorious rival, Herbert Hoover
In Kansas, Smith had so many cheering
listeners that the more enthusiastic report
ers announced that he would carry the state
Far from doing so, he was badly beaten,
nearly to l. On the other hand, the hosts
that came out to greet President Roosevelt
foreshadowed his overwhelming elections,
though this was not fully appreciated at the
time.
President Eisenhower appears to be, in
his popular appeal, another Roosevelt. His
landslide triumph will probably induce prop
hets to attach more Importance than ever to
the size of listening crowds. Yet sometimes
this testimony may be given undue weight

Dear Friends:
Was election night a big night
at your house? We never can plan
too much in our household, but we
kept our fingers crossed that Hayes
wouldn't have to fly that night of
November 6. Well, we were able
to watch the election, but the next
day we were a little the worse for
wear.
Election results here in the mid
west weren't televised until $50
Central Time. BY then Lynne and
Dawn had gone to bed and Hayes
and ] anxiously glued our eyes to
TV. We practically begged the
national hook-up not to skip over
Delaware's results as it ran down
the states talley boards. We did
find out that evening that Haskell
had won his election, but we were
unable to find out about Governor
Boggs and Dave Buckson. Dave
was a Sigma M Fraternity bro
tier of Hayes and we were real
anxious for news about his sue
cess. Major Jim Snow of Della
ware City and Major and Mrs. Row
land Phillips of Wilmington, Della
ware, couldn't give us any more
information either. These three
Delawareans are all living within
a block from us here in Likens-
Foster.
Hayes had a mission schedule
for early in the morning and his
zero hour for leaving our house
was three in the morning. I stayed
up later than he did and then didn't
dare go to bed, afraid I'd disrupt
his short nap. / guess l slept about

Distinguished Citizens
A hard core of three million
tested Americans is standing watch
from one end of the nation to the
other-in cities and towns and vii
lagos. In 1900 American Legion
posts, our outstanding community
centers for Americanism, today's
veterans of combat ON land and
sea and in the air echo the senti-
ments of that handful of home
sick "doughboys" who met in Paris
early in 1919 and pledged: For
God and Country we associate our
selves together
But there should be many, many
more to swell the ranks of what
has become the most dedicated and
the most widely useful veterans or
ganization that the world has ever
seen. For while it is by far the
largest of it's kind, the jobs it
undertakes and stays with, and the
stature it's members enjoy in their
communities, are even bigger! AL
ways a privilege and an honor,
membership today is a duty for
those who are qualified to join
and capable of servingi
Few remember today that it was
the Legion that fought for-and
oro+ faIavoI TTofororcs AdY,,sy, icf7.o
ton and the CT bill of rights. And
few outside of the Legion know the
scope and achievements of it's estab-
lished and perennial programs on
Veteran Rehabilitation, Child We'll
fare, National Security and Ameri-
canism. Few know of the thousands
of man-hours of devoted toll that
go into these efforts, or the millions
of dollars that are spent-not out
of the Treasury, but out of the
dues of Legionnsires. And on the
basis of purely local activities, OBJ
servances and services, few indeed
would want to live in a town with
out a Legion post.
During the past 81 years, the
Legion has spent more than 125
millions to aid children in need 1t
has brought food, clothing, shelter,
iron lungs. crutches and braces
and miracle drugs. Fifty thousand
Legionnaires and members of the
Women's Auxiliary who are trained
in this work have given endlessly

NO TIME TO RELAX

Many Americans indulge an understand
able, but quite unwise, inclination to settle
back into complaceny after a national cleo
ton. The fuss is all over now, they seem to
say, and we can relax. This attitude appar-
emily springs from a mistaken idea that the
election of leaders somehow magically settles
the problems dealt with in-the campaign.
In untroubled times if indeed there are
such, this obvious fallacy might seem merely
foolish. In times of turmoil and crisis, such
as those that we are now experiencing, the
fallacy is much more than foolish it is grave
ly dangerous.
One may be tempted, after weeks Of soul
searching concern with the issues of domes-
tic and foreign policy, to ignore those issues
for awhile. The temptation ought to be re
sisted, for two excellent reasons.
In the first place, the campaign discus
sions have given citizens much more than
their usual rather vague understanding of
the problems we face at home and abroad
For all the campaign bombast and half-truth,
public opinion at this moment is better in
formed than at any other time. Therefore,
this is an excellent time for conscientious
citizens to make their opinions felt
In the second place, the nations newly
elected leaders need help. They need not only
the assurance of popular approval which was
given them by the very fact of election, but
also the continuing support of an enlightened
public.
The people chose their government on
November 6. Now the people must think
hard about how they want the government to
conduct their affairs, and then make the
results of this hard thinking known to the
representatives they have elected.

TRANSFORMATION


Does communism work to the advantage
of the common man" and the masses of
people?
If you have doubts as to the answer, some
statements made by Edward Crankshaw, one
of the few real Western authorities on Rus
sia, in his new book, Russia Without Stain:
The Emerging Pattern, should be illumi-
mating.
He says; 'The Soviet Union today offers
contrasts of luxurious living and privation
as great as anywhere in the world ;"
In another place he writes: "The trade
unions were steadily transformed from pro-
tectors of the interests of the workers in
face Of the state to protectors of the inter
ests of the state in face of the workers.
For selfish reasons, if none other, work
ers should be among the most aggressive
opponents of communism or any other form
of super, all-powerful government. This
kind of government inevitably destroys free
labor just as it destroys free enterprise.

WORDS ON DEMAND

Not long ago a newspaper symposium
presented views of readers on varieties of
English words-the ugliest, the saddest, and
so forth. This leads us to the observation
that within the English language is a word
to supply every purpose, no matter how fine
may be the shade of meaning to be expressed.
The problem is to have the word available
for use when needed.
Most people must explore the recesses of
their memories for awhile before coming
upon the word they want. It eludes others
entirely, and they must settle for a weak
substitute. They are among the people,
probably the great majority, who never are
able to get words together satisfactory to
make known their thoughts and ideas.
Tha need is not for a vocabulary of ex-
traordinary scope and variety. The thing to
be desired is simply vocabulary of ade-
quate proportions, but above all one which
its possessor can tap with ease to get just the
right words.
When is the best time of life to begin
acquiring fuency of expression? The earlier
the better AS adult years advance, the stor-
age space tends to grow bit cobwebby.
Nevertheless, much can be learned even by
mature minds And it is eminently worth
the effort.
