My next choice is a famous
parapsychologist from a Leading

most advanced methods of psychic
communication, including clairvoy-
ance, telepathy and other extra
sensory powers. He hasn't much
use for telephone wires or even
present methods of broadcasting.
To hear him talk, you would think
we were still living in the "Stone

What Is Beautys
My last visitor was Shabbily

a thousand miles to discuss Beau
ty,' which to him included archi-
lecture, paintings, music, jewelry
and even perfume. These, he
said, "are the few things which we
find in the oldest tombs of the
wealthiest Egyptian Pharoahs." He
believes these are the best invest
ments today To enjoy these things,
he claims that they do not need
to be heard, or seen, or touched;
but that Beauty is something we
enjoy through our thoughts and
that, like gravity waves, it acn

book will be known as the "ABC's
of American Industry" and is
planned and written to rouse and
nourish nine-year-old grade school
intellects-and above.
One million youngsters out Of
the nations % million grade
schoolers is but a sampling, to be
sure. But, if the first million are
enthused, a new road back to
sanity and an understanding of
the facts-of-life will be broken
through the jungle of confused,
imported and outworn ileologies.
From there, this ABC book for
today-which is to be continuous
ly brought up-to-date and issued
annually-can rapidly become a
nationwide text for the stimulation
and broadening of eager young
minds.
Not the least remarkable aspect
of the book is the fact that it will
be free to all pupils of nine and
over in selected schools. Like
radio and TV, it will be sponsored
by American businesses who will
make their best technical brains
available for down so-earth ex-
plantations of how our economy
works-and what it will take from
the reader to keep America ticking
This, if we were schoolmaster,
is the kind of help we would GER
tainly want.

Legislative Helpers

Senator Andrew F. Schoeppel, of
Kansas, in a Senate speech that
has somehow been widely over
looked by the metropolitan press,
has offered some cogent comments
on lobbying that the voters need
to hear even more than the solons.
Speaking of the ''investigative
project" of the Special Senate Com
mittee, set up as result of the
Case case" and the resulting
Presidential veto of the natural gas
bill, the Senator warned against
the possibility of very substan-
tial damage to the dignity and stat
ure of this legislative body"
Those Americans, he said, "who,
in their lack of information con-
denim the practice of business
lobbying would be astonished
to discover that the power lobby
the oil and gas lobby, the steel and
chemical lobbies, and so forth are
relatively unimportant compared to
other groups such as the farmers,
the veterans, the labor unions and
others whose activities are usually
considered to be exclusively in the
public interest, instead of in the
private interest" Even more amaz-
ing, the Senator thinks, would be
the discovery that the Army, Navy,
Air Force, Post Office, State and
Treasury Departments and foreign
aid operations maintain "the big
gest of all lobbies".
Further, Senator Schoeppel de-
cIared that he did not know of a
single Senator or Representative
who does not regard these lobbies
as helpful in providing "the boiled
down viewpoint of the protaganists
on both Sides" The sens9 9tion-seek-
ing public can not know, he says,
"That one single, well-written,
time-saving analysis is more in
f1uential over Congressional action
than a dozen offers of special fa-
vors, free dinners or elaborate cock
tail parties"
Senator Schoeppel remarked that
there were four different groups of
citizens arrayed for or against the
natural gas bill. There were those
who were for and against on ideo-
logical grounds. depending on their
ideas of how our economic system
should function. Then there were
the two groups opposed on grounds
of economic self interest. But each
of these. the Senator emphasized,

meet many interesting people, es-
pecially when in Florida where,
during the winter, brilliant minds
gravitate. AS l have just returned
to Massachusetts, l wish to men
ton five such men.
What About World War III?
One of these men is an inter
national oil expert who has just
returned from Arabia. He states
that a small area in the Far East
contains more oil than all other
sections of the world. He doesn't
believe that World War III will
happen during our lifetime; but
if it does, the war will be for the
control of this fabulous wealth of
oil. He says: Arabia is where the
United Nations H e dquart S
should be located"
Another very interesting man,
one of the nations greatest "funda-
mental physicists" is interested
only in studying atoms. He thinks
that our banks, factories and stores
are mere peanuts" and that 1
should not waste time studying
them. He talks of the marvellous
possibilities from Encouragement of
atoms so as to make anything
cheaply-perhaps life itself-and
the securing of free power from or
through the air.

Another interesting man is one
who has just returned from exca-

stitution.
Referring to the national furor
over this stupid incident. he said
/" if the attempted bribe of the
junior Senator from South Dakota
and others had been dreamed UP
and engineered by those opposing
the natural gas bill, it would have
been a sheer stroke of genius
Although it falls outside the area
of lobbying, | think we will all ad-
NIT that the abortive efforts of Mr..
Neff suggest a brand new approach
to the defeat of legislation"
The Senator prays that the in
vestigation will not involve "the
worlds greatest deliberative body
in a partisan political Donny5rook
And so do we.
ABC's OF Ambition
1t is cheering news to hear
that a million grade-school 1900
schools across the nation will be
deliberately exposed to the ambi-
ton virus next Fall via brand
new, made-to-order medium.
During the years of creeping pa
ternalism in Washington, the idea
that people should be required tC
do less and less for more and more
that they must ybe protected against
their own mistakes and inertia
has taken it's toll of individual ini-
tiative. This softening of the urge
of achievement and the spirit OF
competition has seeped down into
the school room and affected ouI
children to the dismay of teachers
youth training organizations of al
sorts, and latterly of employers
who are shocked at the extent tC
which lassitude has replaced the
old up-and-at- -'em spirit.
People haven't changed Only
their attitudes are changing. And
certainly the youngsters, who repre-
sent our best hope of survival as
a nation, are born with the same
potential fire as their great, great
great grand parents who forged the
mould of Americas greatness. The
problem that faces all concerned
is how to rekindle the traditional
spark.

formative and inspirational text

THIS POLITICAL YEAR

Here is one political forecast that looks
safe: There will be plenty of oratory at the
Republican nominating convention, but no
surprises or fireworks. President Eisenhow-
er, if his illness doesn't change the picture,
of course, will be unopposed and will be
renominated by acclamation. The "stop Nix
on" movement within the COP, of which
much was heard some months ago, appears
to be dead. Mr.. Eisenhower killed it when
he expressed not only approval of Nixon,
but admiration. Mr. Nixon has also attract
ed impressive numbers of write-in votes in
the primaries.
The Democratic convention will be a
very different affair. 1t will, within limits,
be wide open. The chance of comparatively
dark horse gaining the nomination is not at
all remote.
The two active candidates, of course, are
Governor Stevenson and Senator Kefauver.
Each has shown strength in some primaries
weaknesses in others. Neither has been a
consistent vote-g -getter. Both have political
liabilities-big ones. There is widespread
opinion in professional circles that neither
will win.
AS Stewart Alsop points out, the indie
fatigable Senator Kefauver 'has not single
supporters among his colleagues in the Sen
ate, and !. Democratic party leaders are
almost unanimously bitterly opposed to him" !"
Politically speaking, he is particularly un-
popular among the Southern Democratic
leaders who will be powers at the convention.
This unpopularity has deepened because of
his prO-lntegratiOn stand-he was the only
Deep South Senator not to sign the resolu-
tiOn opposing the Supreme Courts decision
in the school cases.
Governor Stevenson carries the burden
of the fact that he was once beaten, and by
an electoral landslide. Also, his views on
various matters are not shared by many of
the party leaders.
An interesting complication is represent
ed by Governor Lausche of Ohio. He has
said that he is not a candidate. But he has
also said that he will allow his name to go
before the convention, and almost all of
OhiO's electoral votes will be his. The Gov
ernor has been an astonishingy vote-getter,
and he has strong appeal to the more con-
Servative wing of his party-a wing which
includes some of the Southern leaders.
Governor Hartman has real chance.
And there is more and more talk of Senator
Symington, who has been strongly critical
of this Administrations defense program,
and who would make major issue out of
that.
In all this, there is a possibility that
Democratic strategy may be a rather cur
ious one-a possibility that is finding more
and more discussion among responsible pO-
litical writers. 1t is based on the idea that
President Eisenhower cannot be beaten, and
that no matter whom the Democrats put up,
he will be reelected. Therefore, the argu-
ment runs, the part of wisdom would be to
make only a token campaign for the Presi-
dency and to concentrate the real effort and
money on Senators, congressman and Gov
ernors. Then the big drive for control of
the Executive branch as well as the Legis-
lative branch of the government would take
place in 196O-when the Republicans will
have to find themselves new candidate too.

BETWEEN THE LINE

If Marshal Bulgann's new letter to Pres
ident Eisenhower were to be taken at face
value, one might conclude that the Russians
have experienced genuine change of heart
and are determined to bring about wide
spread disarmament and eventual accord be-
tween East and West.
That is exactly the conclusion the Soviet
leaders would like to have the world reach.
1t is, however, dangerously naive conclu-
sion.
Two recent news developments shed light
on this new Soviet approach. The most re-
cent of these is speech delivered by the
Russian Communist party boss, Nikita S.
Khrushchev, in which he told young Com
munists that the Soviet Union does not need
war; chat communism twill vanquish capi-
talism without war;"
The second pertinent news item is the re-
cent full report on another speech Khrush-
chev gave before the goth Communist party
congress in February. Though that speech
was a save attack on the Stain myth, it
added up, as Dana Adam Schmidt reported
in the New York Times, "to an admission
that terror remains an integral part of the
Communist system"
/ That system is fundamentally unchanged.
There is no reason to suppose that the So
Wet leaders have sincerely renounced bru-
tality and force. They apparently have de-
cided that this is time for economic war
fare. For that they need manpower; hence,
cuts in their armed forces to release men for
factory and field. But this does not mean
that they have given up on trying to achieve
world domination. 1t only means that they
are trying to achieve it, for the time being,
by different methods The Bulganin letter
must be considered in that light.
WORK FOR THE AGED
Thanks to the progress made IL science
and medicine, we have reason to expect to
live longer lives than people in the past.
Unless we make more progress III the man.
ner in which we deal with older citizens,
however, those extra years will be unhappy
and lonesome ones for many people.
Recently an official of the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare called for
work centers where older people can be train
ed in new skills or where their old skillS can
be put to use At such ccnters elderly work
ers could set their own pace, work at tasks
they enjoy doing.
Even more important than the fact that
they would be earning money would be the
sense of satisfaction and usefulness such
employment would give them. Their lives
would have purpose. In the words of one
olster "It's better to wear out than to rust
out"
Centers for older workers are not the
sole answer. But they would help. People
who have lived rich productive lives cannot
be consigned to a scrap pile when they can
no longer keep up the pace. To permit them
to be so treated would be bad for all society.

JUST A MATTER OF TIME

Once again various proposals are being
made for extending the coverage Of the Fair
Labor Standards Act (Which includes the
federal wage-hour laws) to retailing and
other service trades which have been ex-
empted by Congress after Congress ever
since the Act came into being.
One proposal would continue to exempt
smaller retailers-those with annual volume
under $500 thousand and fewer than four
stores-while covering all others.
The grave flaw in this is that retailing is
an absolutely local business. Even though
the automobile has increased the consumers
potential shopping area, consumers make the
overwhelming bulk of their purchases with
in a short distance from their homes. Labor
is drawn from local sources. Business and
living costs for store operators and store
employees alike are determined by local con-
ditions, which vary from region to region.
Each store must compete with other local
stores. This is true whether the store in
question is a family operation or an outlet
Of a great national chain. Size has no bear
ing on the inescapable fact that retailing is
local in nature
In this connection it is a matter of inter-
est that some smaller retailers are opposing
the proposal mentioned-even though they
would not be affected by it in its current
form. The reason for their opposition is
that these retailers realize that in all prob
ability subsequent amendments would bring
them, too, under federal control. Once
segment of any industry becomes a subject
for bureaucratic regulation, it is usually
only matter of time before all the industry
is included.
The precedent set by previous Con-
crosses and Administrations-rep
both the political partieS-was wise one,
and should be followed again.

DOCTORS CHOICE

The family doctor viii still be around
for a while, as many families viii be glad
to know. The lure of medical specialization,
of big hospitals and city research facilities
have captivated some of the young doctors,
but not all.
The University of Minnesota medical
school reports that of all its graduates of
the period 1880 to 1915 still in active prac-
tice Sd per cent are in general practice.
The figure for the whole country is 46 per
cent
The trend in the number of Minnesota
graduates entering general practice at the
start is higher now than 25 years ago.
Physicians with specialties are extreme
ly useful. They know more in their compli-
Gated fields and thus can provide expert
knowledge and Skills. But for the family
with the average run of ailments-particu-
larly if they live in small town or rural
area which can't support the specialists
the good old family. doctor, modern version,
fills the need.

1t depends on whether or

The replacement must be
made within one year before
or after the sale of the old
residence.
Example: A residence pur-
chased in 1888 for $4,000 is
sold in 1855 for $4,000, net
of the brokers' commission.
