Milk of Kindness

I have delayed commune

Washington area, with a few
kits still outstanding, amounts
to $5,603.82. Thus, our chill

3.166,260 glasses of milk to
needy children in other lands.
Equally important. the par

contributors became aware Of
the United Nations not mere
ly as a remote organization
to be read and heard about
but as a force for world bet
terment in which they were
personally participating. In
this latter connection, I think
it is well worth noting that
in keeping with the spirit and
purpose of the program, there
was no attempt to request or
encourage the contributors to
contribute more than pennies.
nickels, or dimes and that the
vast bulk of the contributions
were in this category. Thus,
when the amount contributed
is translated into the probable
number of contributions the
extent of community partici-
patton and cooperation is most
impressive.
The success Of the program
has demonstrated once again
the crucial role Of the press.
Were it not for your interest
and cooperation and the fine
reporting of Harry Bacas a
large number of the organiza-
tons which enthusiastically
participated would never have
known of the program. and

Looking at Taxes

Although the budget figures on which
administration tax recommendations will
be based are still being assembled, the
Treasury Department already has in
formed House Ways and Means Subcom-
mittee that it believes extension of cur
rent Federal excise levieS will be needed
for another year. 1t was indicated at
the same time that the department will
make a similar recommendation for
maintaining the current So per cent rate
on corporation incomes. Reductions in
both of these would take place next April
/, unless Congress acts. About SO billion
in total revenue is involved.
Tax reduction proposals did not be-
come a major issue in the recent cam
paign and the prospects of any important
relief in 1857 are considered slim. The
administration has held firmly to its line
that only a substantial budget surplus
could justify reducing the tax load, with
the further indication that individual
income tax relief would take priority over
lowering corporation or excise rates.
While this appears to be a sound ap-
proach, both politically and economically,
the Ways and Means subcommittee has
an opportunity to make some construc-
tive suggestions as result of its study
of the entire excise tax field. A second
subcommittee, studying loopholes and un-
intended effects of other taxes, has a
similar opportunity to improve the reve-
nue. structure. There are, undoubtedly,
hardship effects in some cases that out
weigh the revenue values and this will be
a good time for a Selective overhauling.

Police spokesman was properly concerned
over the impact of this additional mile
age on an already overburdened patrol
force. It is clear that Virginia and
other States benef1ting from the new
aid program will have to enlarge their pa
troll facilities, including radar and other
weapons useful in the war on reckless
driving. For no matter how carefully and
scientifically planned and constructed,
the new highways will be afflicted with
the same kinds of speederS and the same
kinds of sudden death that have become

Not Trivial to Them

Some of my friends and I
have agreed to pledge our "tri-
vial remembrance" money, or
dinarily spent at Christmas, to
help the the Hungarian refu-
gees in Austria. After we had
guessed at the amount we
would spend on useless trifles,
someone said, "And add IS to
the amount, for the postage
you won't buy!"
This seemed to me a Splen-
did way to save the postmen
from delivering so many pack
ages, and it saves us from de-
Gliding that Aunt Lizzie, in
Oshkosh, might like some bau-
BILE, or ornament. Even in my
small list of gifts, I found I
could give an adequate contri-
button and will send postcards
to my friends. explaining what
I have done.
Would the idea be popular,
of giving a lump sum to
CARE" instead of sending the
small presents to friends at
Christmas time?
America has enough gadgets,
and if we give useful presents
to our immediate family, and
toys to our children, we can
send a stable donation to the
needy overseas, and help the
cause Of peace, for which
Christmas was intended.

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN

hurdles in 1858. Gov. Har-
riman has announced he will
be a candidate to succeed him
self If he should win, the
New York Governor will be
much more impressive as a
candidate for the presidential
nomination than he was this
year. 1t is, however, doubtful
that Gov. Hartman can make
the grade. He won in 1854
largely because the Republican
Party in New York was at skies
and sevens-with former Gov.
Dewey stepping out of the pic
ture. Since then the Repub-
licans in the Empire State
have had a rebirth and have
been strongly organized. Their
victories this year were of the
phenomenal order.
Gov. Meyner, who is ex-
pected to seek reelection next
year. may have a very difficult
time-if the Republicans pick
a strong candidate to run
against him. For New Jersey
Republicans. too, made an envi-
able record in the recent cleo
tons. Meyner, like Mennen
Williams, is a personable and
popular figure. A victory for
him would put Meyner in the
front rank of potential candi-
dates of a Democratic presi-
dental nomination.
Leader Eyes Senate
Pennsylvania's Gov. Leader,
according to reports, will try
for a seat in the Senate.
Republican Senator Edward
Martin Of that State comes up
for reelection, if he wishes to
seek another term. He will be
70 years old. The Democrats
were able to elect a Senator
there this year, overthrowing
Senator Duff. although Presi-
dent Eisenhower carried the
State by almost 600, 900 votes.
If Leader wins, he will leave
the preferred status Of Cover
nor to become a Senator.
There are, of course, a
number Of Democratic Senators
who may become likely candi-
dates for a presidential nomi-
nation. including Senators
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee,
Humphrey of Minnesota and
Douglas Of Illinois. Just be-
cause the Democrats have not
nominated Senators for Presi-
dent for a long time, does not
mean they will not In the
future.
Williams, should he be the
Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent, would face a hostile
electorate in the South-unless
there comes a distinct shift in
sentiment in that section Of the
country. But so would Gov.
Hartman, Gov. Leader and
probably Gov. Meyner and all
the other liberal" Democratic
possibilities that have been
named. The Northern Demo-
Gratis, however. are wondering
whether 1t would not be better
to concentrate on victories in
their section Of the country.
and hope that the South, or
some of it, will stick with them.

he will expatiate on almost
any subject except those about
which he knows nothing. He
is very careful to discuss only
topics with which he is ia
miliar.
AS one who has drunk
enough coffee to float at least
a dozen battleships. he indi-
Gated that the best way is to
permit the cup Of coffee to
cool for at least 5 minutes.
BY that time, Mr.. Jones said,
the coffee is still warm. but
cool enough to consume. 1t
is like ringing a doorbell, he
said. If you punch once, all
right. but If you keep on
punching, all wrong. The heat
in cup of coffee is the punch,
and unless you take the heat
out by some method or other,
you are punching yourself be-
low the belt.
Downing a hat Is another
way Templeton Jones prepares
for winter.
While tripping along on his
perfect feet, his little ears get
cold, and a hat, somehow or
other. seems TO help keep them
warm.
No ear warmers for Jones.
He believes that people
ought to wear long underwear,
too. not the old-fashioned
heavy sort, since most Of
Washington is oyerheated,
especially the buses, but simply
a light sort, but long.
Something Of a nuisance?
Yes. but wonderfully warming
when the wind blows, he said.
Another Jones step toward
winter health is the yitamin
capsule. He takes a type called
therapeutic. containing at
least $4,000 units Of vitamin A.
Are you sure 1t helps?" we
asked Jones. hopefully.
Il couldn't swear TO It be-
fore a jury" he said, but am
sure IL does"
II Templeton Jones is really
wise. as his friends assert,
maybe others might benefit by
adopting his tips. All except
that one about the long under
wear. Ughl

A youthful Democrat, five
times elected Governor Of
Michigan-rated as a Repub-
lican State generally-wilI be
knocking at his party's door
for preferential treatm en- t
when 1860 rolls around, unless
all signs fail. G. Mennen VIII
liams has bided his time. He
has not offered himself seri-
ously either for a vice presi-
dental or a presidential nomi-
nation since he reached the
top echelons. But now, or at
least three years from now,
he is believed to be ready to go.
Gov. Williams has just been
reelected for a fifth term by
a wide margin over a Repub-
lican candidate who was ex-
pected to give him a hard race
but didn't. This, while Presi-
dent Eisenhower was carrying
Michigan by $685. 00-a bigger
lead over Stevenson than the
President had in 1852. Will
liams' problem is whether to
seek a sixth term as Governor
in 1858 or run for the Senate
against Republican Senator
Potter. The Senate has been
the burial ground Of many
hopes for a Democratic presi-
dental nomination. Not since
the days Of Abraham Lincoln,
first r epublica n President,
have the Democrats nominated
a Senator for President. Harry
S. Truman. a Senator from
Missouri, reached the White
House through the vice presi-
dency and the death of Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Democrats have shown
themselves partial to Cover
nors Of States when it comes
to the top nomination Of their
party.
No G. o. p. Winner in Sight
AS Of today, there is no
Republican in Michigan who
looks like a winner against
Gov. Williams If he seeks an
other term as Chief Executive
of his State. He would be a
tough man for Senator Potter
to defeat, should Williams
choose to run for the Senate.
So. it looks as though Williams
will have no great difficulty re-
tanning important public Office
until 1860. He has great per-
sonal popularity. He has
strong labor backing-par-
ticularly from Walter Reuther
and the latter's Automobile
Workers Union. In 1860, Will
liams will be 40 years old, a
good age for a presidential
candidate.
Much can happen politically
In a four-year period. other
Democratic presidential pos
sibilities may arise. But as
things look today. "Soapy"
Williams should be a strong
contender. Three other Demo-
cratic Governors even now are
in the picture-Gov. Hartman
Of New York, Gov. Meyner Of
New Jersey. and Gov. Leader Of
Pennsylvania. All three Of
them, however. face major

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

"Give my best wishes to Tenn.
pleton JONES'" writes T. A. o.
of Hyattsville, Md. "He is, in
deed, great man. ! wish the
world had many more like
him"
MY best regards to Mr..
JONES'" writes T. r. B. of I
street. "He is a very wise old
fellow"
Maybe these and others in
terested in our friend would
like to know what he is doing
at this time.
Mostly he is getting ready
for winter.
Not exactly holing in for
the cold season. like a chip
munk or an opossum, two of
his favorite animals. but Just
getting ready.
No two human beings have
the same ways of doing this,
which all must do in this cli-
mate. whether they know 1t or
not.
Getting ready for winter is
more than seeing that the
furnace is in good working or
Ger, the Misunderstanding in
tact. and the food supply up
to par.
1t is partly a state of mind,
based on the latest findings of
science. such as they are. Sci
ence has not yet done much
for the practical side Of life.
1t goes about for bombs and
Other explosives. and can tell
you TO a syllable the very name
of the very latest small par
ticle Of life which threatens
mankind.
Science has not as yet. how
ever, done much for us In get
ting ready for winter.
Temp Jones goes about 1t
this way, and maybe science
can watch him perform.
He sees to IL that his pro-
TEN reserves are kept Up.

real food inside one.
Think Of the pretty little
ladies who rush TO work with
no more than a cup Of coffee.

own story To tell about this.
