Until the parking problem is
solved, merchants should be given
some relief from taxation. Mer-
chants are the veins through which
the blood of the city flows from
producer to consumer. When mer-
chants are not prosperous, the
community suffers from high blood
pressure. Instead of reducing
taxes on vacant stores, the taxes
thereon should be increased until
the owner gets then rented Every
merchant should buy the building
which he successfully occupies.
CaptaIizing The Evenings
The most practical way for COM
munities TO lick Shopping Centers
is to capitalize the evenings and
encourage stores to keep open long
er. Every live merchant should
keep his store fully lighted through
out the evening. Next to good news
paper advertising, bright lights are
the best fertilizer" for merchants
to use.
Some readers believe that old
fashioned two-and-three-story of
ice buildings may be demolished

bilious clerks who work in the

clerks will be responsible for their
respective stores for the evening.

tereSt your child In the pleasures
to be found between the covers of
a book.
There are many reasons why
child wanders through the first or
second or even the third grade
without acquiring the basic skill of
reading. Some children are poor
readers because of physical han
dicap. They don't see well or they
cannot hear as much as the others.
Sometimes lack of interest in read
ing is a reflection of a home where
no one reads. The child has never
had stories read to him. He has
never seen anyone pick up a book
for pleasure. Many reading prob
lens are due TO emotional conflicts
in the home.
Help Needed
But whatever the cause, the nom
reader needs expert help, first to
find out why he doesn't read and
second to remedy the cause and
get him started on the right path
to learn this basic and most inn
portant skill. If he is in rem
edial reading class at school, if
his problems, physical or emotion
al, are being taken care of through
the school, he may need no formal
help during the summer.
At the same time a little subtle
help might be most useful. If he
could be given few truly inter-
esting books that fired his inter
est and Imagination he might find
it fun to discover their contents.
It's hard to find the right books
books that are easy to read but

POLITICAL BAROMETER

There is increasing complaint and grumb-
ling about rising prices. This is coming from
more and more housewives, and since the
votes of women are now almost decisive
factor in elections, the dissatisfaction about
prices is political danger signal If prices
continue to go up, the inescapable result will
be restriction of or cutbacks in production.
And then full employment would be threat
ened.
In considering gains in real wages, sta
tistics will not be reassuring. 1t appears
that most people are not thinking how much
better off they are or might be as compared
with 10 or 20 years ago. They are concern
ed as to whether or not they are better off
this month than they were last month. And
because of our prosperity, small dips in eco
nomic conditions can produce big reactions
This was evidenced in the voting results of
the 1854 congressional elections.
Every month the price index rises, the
cost of living becomes a bigger issue. The
price index is now going to be most sem
stive political barometer.

for beginning readers. Such books
do exist and if you search hard
enough you can find them. The
books for any particular child
should take his special interests
into consideration. For some chill
1fen "how to do it" books are real

better.
Keep 1t Simple
Whatever the subject matter the
reading must be simple-short sem

Senate'S Conscience Should
Guide 1t
President Eisenhower has told
the nation through his press con-
ference that he is tremendously
disappointed" that Congress has
not given him the legislation his
program called for. Further, he
seemed a little hurt and puzzled
that Congress would disagree with
his conviction that what | plead
for are the programs that l believe
to be good for America"
The President told the same con-
ference that he hoped the Senate
would restore every cent" of the
money cut by the House from the
foreign aid bill. He added that 81
would like to be very firm, because
| honestly believe that we are
sacrificing the tool that means
more to our leadership in holding
together the voluntary federation
that must combat Communism in
the world than any other thing.
But at the same time he retracted
last weeks threat of an extra ses-
sion, saying that: I'm a sense they
have a special session going right
now"
But we think the great majority
of the American people, and COM
pletely irrespective of party align
ment, would be tremendously dis
appointed if the Senate were now
to undo the courageous work of
the House in facing up to the need
for serious cutting of a runaway
budget.
And as the President himself said,
g. if these programs that |
suggest are not right for the United
State, then they (the Congress)
should oppose them"

CALIFORNIA ICONS

California, here she comes Move over,
New York. A bigger state wants your place.
This is what the Census Bureau thinks is
coming, perhaps by 1870.
Figuring out the past growth of the two
states and assuming that the same rate con-
tinues, the Bureau believes that in 1870 Cal
ifornias population will be between 1861
coo and 20,296,000. New York's, on the
same basis, will range from 18,746,000 to
20,023,OOO.
This gives California pretty fair chance
to become our No. l state. Californians will
say: "That'S what our state is now. The Cen
sus Bureau is little slow about finding it
out"
One effect will be that more Californians
will be named for president and vice presi-
dent. Already Vice President Nixon and Sen
ator William F. Knowland are in the running
for the 1860 Republican nomination, and
Governor Goodwin j. Knight is intimating
that if there is any picking to be done he
should not be overlooked. The Democrats
have not as yet produced any California
prospects for the highest office, but give them
time.
Certainly the days are ended when New
York. Ohio and Indiana all but mOnOpolized
the major tickets. That was chiefly because
these were the only large doubtful states
Now almost every state is doubtful. In 1854
Vermont came within 5000 votes of electing
a Democratic governor-which means that
anything can happen.

HEART ATTACKS AND YOU

A recent survey shows that the occur
renee of coronary heart disease is highest ir
New York and lowest in New Mexico.
This is important information, for every
year 100000 men and 10000 women die
when one of their small coronary arteries
clogs up the blood-stream. This clogging is
caused by small, fatty substances, and is
connected with what we now know as the
amount of cholesterol in the blood-stream.
In addition to the number of victims men
toned above, it is estimated that as many
as a million Americans suffer minor heart
attacks during the year, from which they
recover, many of which are never reported.
Not considering these, the occurrence of cor
onary heart disease is increasing in the Uni
ted States.
We should all try to slow down the life
we lead, and consider our hearts little more
sympathetically. 1t is no great distinction
to lead in the rate of the occurrence of cor
onary heart disease among the nations of
the world, position which the United States
now holds.

Dick James, the acrobatic

Redskins back in winning form
after losing their first three
games last year, and Gary Lowe,

fensive back. have signed for the
1857 season, General Manager

James. 5-foot-9. 180-pounder

James raced 80 yards with a
kickoff against the Rams the
first time he handled the ball
in his Redskins debut last sea-
son. But the play Washington
fans best remember is his Al
yard run against the them
unbeaten Lions. The play, set
ting up the Redskins 1917 upset
victory over the Lions, was al
most stopped by three Detroit
tacklers and James brought the
crowd to its feet by escaping

swings:
On both uphill and downhill
lie shots. 1t will be necessary to
alter your normal club-choosing
pattern.
On a shot from a downhill lie,
you get more distance with a
particular club than you would
from a level lie. But, generally
speaking. don't take a more
lofted club for the shot. In
stead. take the same club that
the distance calls for under nor
NAL conditions. Choke down on
the club a little and swing well
within your maximum power to
compensate for the added dis
lance that the downhill lie gives.
This will give you better control
and will keep you from over
swinging.
1t is hard TO get loft from a
downhill lie. So say never use
a two-wood for a shot from this
type of lie. The same goes for a
one-iron, II you happen to carry
one. Even with the two-iron il
Will be tough TO get the ball up.
On a shot from an uphill lie
you definitely must take more

for under normal lie conditions.
Frequently, two clubs stronger is
best-a three-iron instead OF a
1ve-iron for instance. From a
pronounced uphill lie, the loft

three-iron will be about equal to
the loft and distance you will
get with a five-iron from a level

Chevy Chase broke Argyle's
three-year domination of the LIST
Division by defeating Columbia,
81. in the final match at Army
Navy. Chevy Chase needed 512
points to tie the idle host team,
and with some excellent team
work it won more than enough.
Argyle had a mathematical
chance of winning its fourth
straight title. The defending
champions scored enough to pass
Army Navy by defeating Wash
ington. 81. but Argyle entered
the final days play IL points
back Of Chevy Chase. and stayed
there. Army Navy drew a bye.
Manor Breaks Monopoly
Congressional won the I'd, 5th
and 9Th divisions and Chevy
Chase won the Sd, in addition to
the LIST. Manor, the 4th divis-
ion champion. was the only club
to break the Congressional
Chevy Chase monopoly.

shot a 81 in the Palm Beach
tournament and announced il
was due to new putting grip
the grip Immediately became the
talk Of the town. Hogan could
start playing lefthanded tomor-
row, and there'd be a run on
southpaw sticks.
Jay Randolph was hanging
around the Columbia golf shop
the day the story of Hogan's new
grip was in the papers. Pre-
Freddie Mcleod, never q man to
waste words, was listening
did you read about Hogan's
new grip?" Randolph asked the
Columbia pro.
Freddie nodded he did.
What do you think of it?"
Randolph asked.
Paul Runyan used to use it,
Mr.. Mac replied.
How did he do with it?"
Randolph continued.
HE doesn't use 1t any more, u
Mr.. Mac answered. arms folded,
and looking straight ahead.
The conversation ended along
with Randolph's plans to use the
Hogan grip the next day.
Bobby Brownell and Ralph
Bogart, who have dominated
District and Maryland amateur
golf for more than a decade. are
learning that at the fairly ten
der age bracket of the middle
30s golf is not a game to turn
of and on like q faucet.
Between their business part
Inership and summer homes in
Rehoboth Beach. they have
found time for occasional tour
nament golf. but little. if any
practice. Never have they held
fewer titles.
Brownell lost last week in the
second round of the Chevy Chase
club championship. Bogart spent
four days on the Shore, drove
back Sunday night and dropped
by Columbia to hit a few prac-
tice balls. The next day he
shot 1881 in the National Open
qualifying rounds.
Neither is fond Of losing. Many
more performances like their
most recent ones and both will
be back on the practice tee.
In a few hundred words about
Cary Middlecoff's chances in the
British Open. Peter Thomson
was quoted as saying Middle
COTS entry did not exactly
brighten him. The Australian
built quite a case against Mid
dlecof. Thomson. you know, has

Thomson's presence in the Ma

exactly costing him any sleep.
Thomson has been playing
part of the summer and winter
circuit in the United States for
