Americans Turn To Scottish kits;
Wonder What's Under Them

On the basis OF his experience
with Americans in Britain, Ander-
son suspects there's a gigantic hid
den demand for kits and tartans by
Americans on the Continent.
Andersen is the fourth generation
Of his family to direct William
Anderson and Sons. Ltd. tailors and
kiltmakers to the royal household
by appointment
His firm has its headquarters in
Edinburgh and a stop in Glasgow.
Anderson outfits the officers Of
Scotch regiments, most Of Britain S
kilt bagpipe bands and. Of course,
the royal family
The kiltmaker says, however. that
he is forbidden to discuss the royal
family's kilt arrangements.
Under terms Of the royal war
rant issued by command Of the
Queen. we are not allowed to dis
close the actual work done for the
royal family" Anderson explained.
While circumspect where royalty
is involved, the S c OF S m h will
stretch a point for any kilt-loving
American If Americans don't have
a family tartan, he offered, we
can usually help them trace one. +"

about kits are funny The kilt, he
asserted. lis a very healthy gar

with the development, Of the auto
mobile. Through it. millions OF peo-
pie found new jobs, better working
conditions. greater earnings. and a
new mode Of life. The level of living
for all people rose as never before
But this came at the price Of
greater risk and insecurity during
the period of change-over to greater
areas of opportunity Result every
body benefited. This insecurity has
caused some to make demands for
protection by arresting the free
market. Many things cause people
to turn to government for assls-
lance in accomplishing desired OBJ
jectives they cannot SO readily at
tain through individual action. The
public free schools are a classic
example. Also many people feel that
they are being hurt more than
others or it may just be easiest to
call on government. There is also
the apparent mood of the people"
to demand more protection as eco
nomic leverage III society increases.

York. Gov. Hartman told d
press conference he was at Q
loss to understand in which
fields Mr.. Eisenhower wanted to
turn back the clock"
A sampling of opinion among
Governors showed that the
members Of the conference felt
that no harm could be done BY
appointing q study group in line
with the Presidents suggestion,
but the amount Of good that
would now from the delibera-
tons Of such Q group was, in
the minds Of most Governors,
problematical.
The resolution on Mr.. Eisen-
hower's request, together with
other resolutions. will be re-
ported out to the full Governors
Conference shortly after /
O'Clock (EsT1 today. FOLLOWING

mittee. which will run the

ecutive Committee members, like
the identity Of their chairman,
remained q closely guarded
secret. There was no secret. how-
ever, over where the Governors
were to hold their 50th annual
conference next year. It seemed
cut and dried that the place
would be Miami Beach, Fla, and
the time either May or Novem-
Der, 1858, with most guessing
favoring May.
A favorite contender for the
post Of chairman Of the Eexecu-
tive Committee was Gov. Nc
Keldin. The Maryland chief
executive was the only active
candidate for the job, although
1t was no secret that others
including Gov. william stratton
Of Illinois--would be glad to take
the prestige-laden post being va
Gated today by Gov. Thomas B.
Stanley Of Virginia.
The candidacy of Gov. Nc
Keldin was in some respects

the post. and Gov. McKeldin il
serving his second term. While
Gov. McKeldin, like his prede-
cessor. Gov. Stanley. is from the
East. this does not necessarily
initiate against him, because the
last Republican to hold the post
two years ago was former Gov
Arthur B. Langlie Of Washing
ton. The geographic distribution
thus remains nicely in balance
even II Gov. McKeldin is named.
The final plenary session of
the conference was held this
morning, with Gov. Ernest Nc
Farland Of Arizona presiding
over q discussion Of natural re-
sources.
The Governors, meanwhile, re-
cuperated from q strenuous So
|cial program which was culmi-
mated last night In q dinner Of
the knights of the Golden
Horseshoe" given in the Cover
nors' honor by Mr.. and Mrs.

The Senator proposed that

The Senator made his pro-
posal as q reply to President
Eisenhower's appeal to the
States to take back some Of
the functions which are causing
steady growth in the Federal
Government. The Senator was
especially critical 70 Mr.. Eisen-
hower's statement that a return
OF these functions "presupposes
that Federal taxes would be cut
more than State taxes would be
raised to support the transferred
functions"
Senator Neuberger said It
would be dificult to get 20 State
Legislatures to agree on how to
take over any program aban-
doned by the Federal Govern
ment because the States are
fearful Of. raising taxes which
might drive industries into q
neighboring State.

Aiken Says

NEW YORK, Mar. ~ (R.-
Senator Aiken. Republican Of
Vermont, said today the pros
poets that Republicans will gain
enough seats in the Senate and
House to control Congress next
year look pretty dismal right
now"
Senator Aiken. an advocate of
the modern Republicanism" adj
vanced by President Eisenhower,
said he thinks many Republican
Senators will have hard fights"
1.-THE prospects for gaining
control of the House are not
much better" he said in a speech
prepared for the Women's Ma
tional Republican Club.
Senator Aiken said If the Re-
publicans will quit "feuding"
among themselves, improve their
public relations and stand for
the things the people want, they
have a chance of winning the
presidency again in 1860.
Saying women twice had pro-
vided the necessary votes to elect
Mr.. Eisenhower. he added:
THE Republican Party is not
yet politically bankrupt. With
the continued help and leader
ship of American women. the
prospects for 1860 will be very
bright"
The Senator said that while
Mr.. Eisenhower has had to con-
tend with substantial defections
within his own party" much Of
this has been the fault of the
administration ITSELF"
He said that In the 1854 and
1856 elections. Republicans lost
at least six Senate seats they
should have won. He blamed
some Of these losses on internal
