SIX SKIES

On the first day of the work this
Fall, each window group" was
presented two plans, each spon-
sored by one child. That makes
four children, if we make ourselves
clear. Well, the two designs finally
chosen were compromise plans in
volving the ideas of all four, and
the pairs of children were each
named co-chairmen Of their res
pective projects.
Prospect
Christmas gifts as we'll as de-
signs are beginning to make their
appearance at our grade schools;
and none are perhaps more defin-
itely the gift of one particular child
then the silhouettes made of them
selves by Miss Gloria Goodman's
first graders at Prospect.
These are black and sharp
shadows, cut from black paper
after the child's shadow has been
traced beyond a strong light. 1t
is rather hard for six-year-old to
stay still long enough for tracing
to be made, as everyone knows;
but these future Christmas gifts
are as still and sharp-and indenti-
fiable-as any photograph could be.
In Mrs. Hazel Struggles fifth
grade room, the blackboard is being
decorated with five angels. This is
the same number as the number of
rows Of seats in the room, so each
row selected one artist to draw the
outline of one angel; then the other
children colored it.
Caledonia
Mrs. Florence Motiska's first
grade children learned to listen
and remember details of a story
when they took part in their first
Book Week trip to Caledonia Ii
brary recently.
Librarian Miss Martha Driver
told the youngsters new stories,
and explained about library cards
and how books might be borrowed
for reading at home. The boys and
girls are given registration cards
to fill out, and with their parents
permission they may start to take
books out of the library within
week or two.
Another "first" first-grade ex-
perience was initiated by Miss
Audrey Scott's pupils, when they
set up their own grocery store
and invited the other first grade
pupils in to buy things, and count
and add. Their room became quite
an active center for the handling of
play merchandise, under the direc-
ton of a Western Reserve School
of Education practice teacher, Miss
Norma Parks.
1t is perhaps puzzle how much
knowledge about a store child
picks up when he goes to real one
with his mother. It's mostly long
series of "No, don't touch that"
warnings, we suppose. But store
will come to mean more to him

Superior


Committee work of thoroughly
organized sort accompanies much
of the activity program at Superior
School, an example of which is the
decoration of the Christmas and
Chanukah windows at this season
of the year.
The two large stairway windows
will soon blossom out in brightly
colored figures and designs for the
holiday season, with paints applied
on a soap base. But before this can
happen, the designs are worked out
on large sheets of brown paper by
a committee of fourth, fifth, and
sixth grade children.
The decoration committee is
democratically chosen. Two pupils
from each of the fifth and sixth
grade rooms, and one from each
fourth grade room, are selected to
draft the preliminary sketches.
These children then ask other
classmates to help them with the
actual work on the windows, so
that altogether some thirty pupils
take part in the project.

ferent kinds of money will do there
and how little of it is usually
left.
Mayfair
Book week was such a big thing
for the Mayfair children this year
that they surprised the North
Branch librarian with book col
lection of their own.
The way it happened was this.
Miss Jean Hoffman, the North
Branch representative, came to
each room with her cart full of
new books, as she does each year.
She told the children and their
teachers that Book Week brings a
lot of good business to the library
for while, and that what she was
hoping was that they would keep
on coming after the first rush was
over.
This year the pupils in some of
the rooms got the idea of bringing
books of their own from home, to
Other rooms got the idea, and now
there are two long tables in the
hall, and overflow tables in some
of the rooms, filled with the chill
den's own possessions.
The next step-just the opposite
of library interest dying down
would be for the Mayfair children
to lend their books to each other,
just as a library does, with loan
cards and everything. A Mayfair
Library, you might call it. Miss
Soroh Wynkoop. the Principal,
and some of the teachers are
thinking of trying this as an ex-
pertinent now.
In the meantime, the grades

BROOKLYN DODGERS FEATURED IN MOVIE SHOWING AT THEATER

Featuring the Brooklyn Dodg- CTS, "Roogie's Bump introduces to screen audiences young Robert Marriot, who portrays the Brook lyn boy whose pitching arm served up a miracle at Ebbets Field. Republics presentation of the movie comes to The Theater tonight and Saturday, with "the Buns" featured.
 Playing themselves with inim- itable skill are Roy Campanella, Billy Loes, Russ Meyer and Carl Erskine.
 Campanella, Hall of Fame slug ger, made baseball history with his big bat in 1853. Still in his early thirties, the great Dodger shattered three an-time marks for catchers during the 1853 sea- son and walked off with the Ma tional Leagues Most Valuable Player award for the second time in three seasons.
 "Roogie's Bump is comedy and heart thrill which concerns the plight of small boy who has a murderous pitching arm. What happens to both boy and team as they get together on the diamond shouldn't happen to an umpire.

With Stevenson in Ohio, R- Adlai Stevenson attacked the Eis- enhower Administration yester- day as a single interest govern ment" which he said must be busted by election of the Demo- cratic Party.
 The Democratic presidential nominee thus wrapped up a new attack on President Eisenhower in the same package with his own obvious shift in campaign tactics toward a party-rather than a personal appeal for votes.
 Stevenson said in speech pre- pared for a late afternoon rally in Akron. Ohio, Eisenhower has a Cadillac Cabinet" that Hears nothing as much as change" He added the people twill carry for ward again when the present Cabinet is back in General Motors next January"
 Why Did He Join ?
 "If MT. Eisenhower didn't want his administration called a big business, single interest govern ment, why did he ever join the Republican Party?" Stevenson de- manded.
 This fresh attack on what he called the creeping complacency" of the Republicans fitted in deep ly with Stevenson's new tactics which developed in whistle-stop swing thru Michigan Wednesday to submerge his own presiden- tial aspirations under strong ap- peal for Democratic Party votes that might carry him on the coat tails of well-liked local candidates to victory in doubtful states.
 Significantly Stevenson told an audience which failed to fill a 6,200 seat auditorium in Flint, Mich, last night:
 Immunity 10 Criticism

call for the election of the Demo- cratic Party"
 Earlier he had told a small train-side audience in Saginaw, Mich, that perhaps no President in history had enjoyed the popu- larity he said Eisenhower had held for four years.
 With trace of exasperation in his voice, Stevenson added that certainly no administration in history has enjoyed such immuni- ty from criticism" as Eisenhow- CTS.
 Give Elm He'll Speech
 Then, in the manner of former President Truman's now tradi- tional Democratic give 'em hell" tactics of 1948, Stevenson cut loose in Flint with slashing at tack on Vice President Nixon and former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York.
 Dewey drew about l,500 more persons in the same hall the pre- vious night with an attack on Ste venson's proposal to move toward the ending of hydogen bomb tests.
 Stevenson dismissed Dewey with the observation that "discourtsey, epithet and abuse from him are no surprise" The estimate on the Dewey and Stevenson crowds was made by the superintendent of the hall, Paul Rewey.
 Man of Many Masks
 Stevenson prefaced his on- slaught against Nixon with the observation that any President might be prevented by higher will from serving his full term" Then he tore into Nixon.
 Stevenson said Nixon's political trademark is slander" He depict ed the vice president as a "man of many masks" added:
 "Who can say they have seen his real face?"

CANADA CAUGHT IN A BOOM

The embarrassment of too much money has much pity for it's victim But that it be real embarrassment the Canadian Government finds it debates what to do with prospective budget surplus of $500, ,O0O,0OO
 The government is thinking of general elections which may within the next year 18 months It is thinking of votes may lose it does not satisfy voters to whom initiation is something that the experts say is bad but which feels good in pay packet-even if the packet buys less than it used to.
 Here are some of the things that some Canadian voters would say the government might do with it's surplus: raise odage pensions because pensions and other fixed incomes barely keep up with price rises cut income taxes because surplus indicates they are higher than need be- raise family allowances because poorer people need money than others.
 But the first two outlets for surplus funds would only put more spending money in the hands of consm CTS and this would only add to nflationary pressures which the government and the central bank authorities in Canada have been trying to check The third outlet would not only do this thing but would raise political questions since family allowances tend to benefit the French-speakng community with its high birth rate more than the rest of the community.
 Canada is struggling against mainly the kind of nfationary pressures that with rapidly expand ing economy based great natural wealth and ready markets for its materials both at home and abroad The government may be worrying about some aspects of this boom but will be hard to make many Canadian consumers do so just now.

Will Budget Bureau
Now Alter Its Policy?
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

It will be interesting to see
whether the resignation of
Budget Director Rowland
Hughes alters that agencys
policy Of "localizing" the prob
lens of the National Capital
when 1t comes to spending
money.
The latest development OF
that policy came last week
when the Budget Bureau which
normally passes on all pro-
4. posed District legislation be-
fore 1t Is submitted to Con-
gress, decided to keep hands
of the Commissioners plan to
set up a Washington Metro
politan Transit Authority.
At first it promised to be
difficult to treat the proposed
authority as purely q local
matter, since it was to be es-
tablished as an fundamentally
of the Federal Government.
with power to borrow up to $25
million from the Treasury.
Because Of the areawide ma
ture Of the authority. the Com
missionerS recommended that
it be governed by five directors
appointed by the President.
The Budget Bureau got off
the first horn of its dilemma
by insisting that the Commits
sioners propose establishment
Of the authority as an instru-
mentality of the District gov
eminent. rather than Of the
Federal Government. and ap-
point the directors themselves.
Complex Problem on Looms
The matter of the Federal
loans, however, was a little
more complex. This was
finally cleared up when the
Treasury Department proposed
that the District Commits
sioners do the borrowing from
the Treasury and, in turn, lend
the money to the authority.
And. while the Federal agen-
cies were at it, they trimmed
the loan powers from $25 mil
lion tplus IS million a year,
down to a fiat $40 million.
Thus. when the measure was
finally submitted to Congress.
the Budget Bureau managed
to avoid taking any official
stand on it, except to let the
Commissioners admit that the
section on interim financing
had been submitted to the
Bureau Of the Budget and
the Commissioners have been
informed that the bureau has
no objection to that section
as presently drafted"
The same hands-off policy
was followed by the bureau In
submission last summer Of the
transit strike legislation which
will put the Capital Transit
Co. out Of business next Aug
ust IA. Then the bureau simply
told the Commissioners to 60
ahead and handle everything

Whatever Happened
To Young Turks?

BY speeding up income tax

shot windfall not available to
the State in future years-Gov.
Stanley hopes to collect an
additional $40.5 million toward
meeting the capital outlay
program.
Up until now. nothing has
been before the legislature to
stimulate the Young Turks to
assert themselves In 1866.
The tax acceleration plan
has drawn the fire Of the anti

What Turks?
AS a matter OF fact, some
Young Turks Of 1854 look at
you blankly when you identi-
fy them by that title.
In general. they claim to be
members Of the Democratic
organization but reserve the
right to present a unified
front against the administra-
ton program on issues with
which they cannot agree.
You might say" one leader
said, that we follow a prin-
ciple Of Young Turkism'-but
you can't call us Young
Turks"
Apparently the accelerated
tax collection program is not
going to be one Of the rallying
points this year.
Last week another issue was
presented the Legislature
around which Young Turks
had rallied at previous ses-
sions. 1t was a resolution to
repeal the poll tax by amend
ing the State Constitution.
Two years ago a similar ef-
fort was bottled up in the
organization controlled Privi-
leges and Elections Committee.
Young Turks bucked the Or
ganization by attempting to
discharge the committee -
meaning they could get 1t out
on the floor Of the House Of
Delegates for debate and &C

With an $s-billion farm sur
plus hoard growing hourly, the
hobby" farmer who does not
need his farm income in or
der to live Is coming In for
more and more criticism as q
contributor to the crop sur
! plus.
Senator Ellender, chairman
Of the Agriculture Committee,
said recently that "city farm
ers-the professional men and
business men who buy q hun
bred acres-help complicate
problems Of the real dirt
farmer" He said that his COM
mittee has a bill before it
which would go a long way
toward elimina ting many
"hohby" farmers. The bill.
among other things. would
deny support payments to
farmers who could not show
that so per cent Of their in
come is derived from farming.
Senator Ellender is not alone
In blaming hobby farmers for
contributing to the Nations
farm woes. Robert B. Nc

Farmers Home Administration.

publican women here re-
Gently, said much Of the
blame for Surpluses must fall
upon "the Main Street boys
with 90 per cent incomes
(who) have moved into the
grain and cattle raising BUSH
ness"
Mr.. McLeaish himself owns
two truck farms near Port
Isabel. Tex. and In addition.
might be classified by some
partisans as being one of the
Main Street boys with 90 per
cent incomes, since he is a
former railroad president and
the ex-president Of q large
Texas development group.
When he came to the Agricul-
ture Department in 1853. he
was head of the Sugatex Corp.
Prominent Port-Timers
Others in the Agriculture
Department who farm on the
side include Undersecretary
True D. Morse. who owns 800
acres in Missouri. and Howard
Dogsett. assistant to the AS
sistant Secretary, who has q
huge cattle and sheep ranch in
Montana.
Another part-time farmer
is the chairman Of President

tural Advisory Commission.

man and also dean of the

School.

that Mr.. Eisenhower. too.
might be included among the
hobby farmers who are helping
to build crop surpluses into
higher and higher mountains.

DR.. Rosenfeld collected data

previous five years, including
the odds offered by the bookies
on each contest, and put the
information on punch cards for

in the previous wager or

he would want to win one unit
Of money whenever the team
won. II the team lost, he
would wager enough money on
the next game to win one unit

But to avoid going broke

trary cut-off point of six times

that point. he decided. he
would assume that his previous

strategies using various cut
of points.
He found that the best bet
was on an underdog home
team with a cutoff limit of
six units.
For an initial investment OF
200 units" DR.. Resented said.
there is a 10 per cent proba-
bility Of going broke, a 30 per
cent probability of breaking
even, a 40 per cent probability
of winning UP to an amount
equal to the investment, and O
80 per cent probability of win
ming at least the investment
and as much as five times the

The system probably won't
work as well next season, DR..

according to it, the odds will
be destroyed. Then a new

out of it. -
Airport Attitude
An earlier phase of the same
policy of 'localizing" National
Capital problems occurred
when the bureau tried to pre-
tend that the Federal Govern
ment was no more interested in
establishment of a second
Washington airport than in
any other airport.
Ignoring the fact that the
Federal Government was the
only Government in the Met
ropolitan Area interested in the
airport, the bureau tried to
persuade the various State and
local governments to take on
the project of financing. Now.
with the failure of that cam
paign, the Commerce Depart
ment is trying to persuade
Congress to set up a self-gov-
erning authority to take over
the airport problem and finance
itself through revenue bonds,
just as the Commissioners
propose IN the transit snafu.
The same attitude is reflected
in the Bureaus attitude toward
the Federal Governments an
nual contribution toward meet
ing the costs of the National
Capitals municipal govern
ment.
Two years ago, the bureau
went along on an SO million in
crease in the Federal payment.
on the theory that an equal
amount would be raised by
increasing local taxes.
This time In clearing the
newest tax boost program to
Congress, the bureau sup
ported proposed Federal pay
ment increase Of only 81 mil
lion as compared to a recon-
mended $40 million a year hike
in local taxes. thus departing
entirely from a $3.50 concept
which District residents were
hoping they had re-established.
