Washington Letter = By Robert Nelson ToYlor

sell the Status-of- Forces Agree
ments to the Legionnaires.
General Gruenther, who was
Ike's successor at SHAEF and
subsequently brought to Washing
ton for reasons that are not too ap-
parent and to fill the respected.
non-controyersia and civilian post
of Red Cross chief, read the Presi-
dents message to the convention:
From the experience of our
common military service" it said,
eve have gained a, healthy respect
for the value of partnership and
cooperation. No soldier or sailor
or airman can win the battle by
himself. He needs the support of
all his comrades. In the same way,
our nation counts on the friendship
of its allies around the world to
help maintain the peace for gem
erations to come.
'.I1 the spirit of fraternity, send
best wishes to you all"
From the reading Of the word
from Newport, General Greunther
launched into a plea for a "reas-
enable resolution from the Leg
iOnnalres on the Status-Of-Forces
issue. He declared that such agree
ments were IAN integral part of our
alliance system" and that this sys-
tenn is absolutely essential to our
security, to prevent World War III
and to help us hold our own in the
cold war now under way"
If we understand the mother
tongue, what he said was that we
are helpless without our allies and
we'd better do what they want,
even if it does mean throwing a
few soldiers and sailors and flyers
and marines to the wolves when
foreign gendarmes say they have
misbehaved. OF course, when the
President said, "No soldier or sail
or or airman can win the battle
by himself. He needs the support
of all his comrades" he was doubt
less thinking of something more
epic than a street brawl. And prob
ably the spirit of fraternity" to
which he referred is something for
ceremonial occasions rather than
when the going gets rough. Or
perhaps it should work from the
bottom up. but not from the top
down.
General Gruenther did get, next
day, more than reasonable" res
olution. A demand from the floor
for a resolution multiplying the
agreements was rejected for one
calling for revisions providing that
no American service man can be
tried by foreign government for
acts committed in line OF duty, or
in places under American juris-
diction; and that an American
commander in the field will have
final word on whether the accused
was acting in line of duty.

Babson Park, Mass, Sept. rs. The
automobile is not only revolution
izing highways, retailing and finan-
cling; but also the style of build
ings and home. Simple arithmetic
will prove that with the narrow
business streets in the older cities,
one of three things will happen:-
% The fifty-year-old brick build
ings will be torn down and re-
ingS; or (2) the streets will be
widened; or (3) all stores will be
open evenings. New Shopping Cen
ters are otherwise inevitable
Smaller Homes viii Be Built
Another example of simple math-
ematics: People can borrow only
SC much money. This limit is fast
being reached. If families are to
have one or two larger aE5omo-
biles, these families must be sat
isfied with smaller and fewer rooms
in their home. AS autos become
larger and more expensive, homes
must become smaller and less eX-
pensive. | therefore forecast that
many of my readers will turn their
present houses into apartments.
All new homes will not have
garages; but all will have enough
land so that the family cars can
be kept off the streets. The new
style of architecture will be based
on the Old Cape Cod house of one
and one-half stories. or else people
will live in duplex or cooperative
apartments. People gave up their
s.horse and buggy" when they
bought an automobile. They will
learn to give up their present style

BABSON DISCUSSES NEW HOMES AND CLOTHES

Some women readers will say, I'm
possible, women will insist n>wear-

These, of course, can differ in
colors, but women will then be sat
isfied with standard clothes. The
automobile will standardize cloth
ing. There will be a few 5ifferent
makes of clothes at different price
ranges. Auto dealers and gas sta
tions may carry clothing.
Yes, revolutionary changes to be
caused by the automobile have just
commenced. Far greater changes
are ahead. As "drive-in theatres"

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH.

No matter how much we read
about billions, the word still has a
numbing effect on the not~to0-math-
ematical mind. A thousand million
of anything is an awful lot to
grasp or to visualize. For instance,
we have just learned that last year,
for the first time in history, the
American people reached the $40
billion mark in their expenditures
for milk and dairy products. We
are also told that this represents
1876 percent of the national food
bill of $60.7 billion. and that we'uns
spent more than $6.4 billion for
drinking milk and pouring-cream
Cranking up our electronic digi-
tai computer-on which we've been
trying for weeks to find out just
how much Congress actually did
cut the White House budget-we
fed it the above data, threw the
switch and stood back. Pretty soon
there was a mooing sound, lights
began to flash and figures that we
can comprehend started dropping
into place. We can now report
that:
The per capita expenditure for
all dairy products was approx
mately $62.5O, of which $40.10 went
for milk land cream).
The per capita milk surplus is
now less than two ounces a day.
An hour of factory labor bought
8h quarts of milk in 1856, 4 quarts
in 1929.
The average dairy farmer milks
IA cows, ships little over 40 gal
Ions of milk a day, drinks about
four glasses of it himself, makes
half his income (just under $4,000
from milk, got so cents of the milk
dollar in 1956-nearly "a cents
more than in 1856.
The milk dealer made half cent
profit per quart on milk he pro-
cessed and delivered.

fore stitching, so that the fabric
will not pull or pucker. Chiffon
is not difficult to stitch, if you take
advantage of new attachments, such
as the fiange hemmer, which makes
tiny rolled hem in sheer fabrics
in fraction of the time it would
take to do the hem by hand.
For best results, remember to
change the setting of your machine
when. you change from satin to chif-
fon. The latter requires a fine
needle and a close stitch, about 20
to the inch. Satin requires a me-
dunn needle and about Is stitches

Dear Friends:
September always seems to be
such a full month, doesn't it? Of
course in the early part of the
month you're so busy getting the.
children ready for school. Then
every one really starts to plan So
cial functions it seems.
The first week in September this
Air Force neighborhood of ours
staged" its last warm weather
picnic. The same week ! registered
the children in school. bought their
books, and a few days later they
matriculated into second and fifth
grades. That week was dentist
week, Kansas Free Fair week, my
three hours at Dependence Assist
ance trying to lend assistance TO
newcomers, and farewell tea for
our first lady at Forbes Air Force
Base.
Last week things didn't seem to
slacken in the least, That week we
attended the Generals reception
Ga farewelI), a cocktail party that
was given for members of Hayes
squadron and l attended d. A
coffee in honor of Mrs. Sullivan's
departure. On the 9th of this month
we also signed over our Likens
Foster house to young civilian
couple. From my calendar dis
covered we had owned 3531 Mayo
for one year and a day. Almost a
record for an Air Force family!
Speaking of Air Force people

tegic Air Commands large family,
are always proud of our husbands
and their devotion to duty and to
Uncle Sam. The R.0.N.s (remain

MORE CUTS NEEDED

BY next July 1, the military
forces of the U. S. will be 100000
men thinner in the hope that de-
fense spending, now at the rate of
about $40 billion 9 year, may be
kept within the 38 billion budget
figure. The first manpower cut of
100000, ordered by Defense Secre-
tary Wilson last July will be COM
pleted by January first. The sec
ond similar cut, just announced, is
to be completed by the end of this
fiscal year, June 80. Savings in the
following fiscal year are estimated
at $500 million.

AN EDUCATION IN CAPITALISM

1t is often said that our state legislatures
pass far too many laws, and most of us will
add Amen" to that. But it is fact that the
laws which are passed amount to only min
ute percentage of those which are suggested
but die aborning.
A law which was proposed only two years
ago, and yet in that brief time has been pass
ed by SO states, plus Alaska Hawaii and the
District of Columbia, must obviously have
unusual merit. There is such law. 1t is
known as the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act
and it was first prepared by the New York
Stock Exchange in 1855. It's remarkable leg
islative successes followed, with 25 states
adopting il this year alone.
The need for the law is plain. In the past,
person wishing to give securities to minors
was generally confronted with complexities
of red tape. To protect himself, he had to go
through costly and complicated legal pro-
cedures. The model law, in essence, puts Sc
curity giving on the same legal basis as any
other kind of giving. Details vary somewhat
in different states, but the principle is the
same.
The significance of this law goes beyond
the mere legal considerations. We live in an
age in which two diametrically opposed philo-
sOphieS of life and government are at war
whether that war be hot or cold. One philo-
sophy, that of communism, holds that the
state shall be all-powerful, and shall own and
control virtually everything. The other phil
osophy, that of democratic capitalism, holds
that there shall be a maximum of individual
freedom in all fields, including the private
ownership of property and the enterprises
which produce, transport and distribute the
wealth of goods which sustain our material
living standards. To give securities to mi
nors is to give them the start of an educa-
ton in what capitalism means to the people
and does for the people.

COMMON-SENSE TAX REFORM

A federal law is proposed which would
force government spending programs to COM
pete with a tax reduction program for each
years newly-created income. Federal free
spenders would have to justify their pro-
grams in the face of taxpayers expectations
of promised tax relief.
This law has been given a tremendous
amount of support by groups and organiza-
tions of almost every kind. 1t is known as
III. r. 6452, and has been introduced by Rep
resentative Sadlak of Connecticut Over
five-year period, it would reduce the top in
dividual income tax rate from it's present
peak of 81 per cent to az per cent, and the
corporation rate from So per cent to AZ per
cent. The rates in all brackets, including
the very lowest, would be equitably cut. For
instance, the existing base rate of 20 per
cent would be lowered to Is per cent.
The government would not be deprived of
needed revenue. Mr.. Sadlak has presented
extremely well documented studies and ta-
bles which show that expected increases in
federal income resulting from stimulated
economic activity would more than offset
losses due to the reduced tax rates.
Finally, the Sadlak bill is definitely not
a "rich mans" tax measure. The greatest
total of tax relief-60 per cent-would ac-
crue to people with taxable incomes of $4,000
year or less. Only IL per cent of total tax
relief would fall in brackets of $4,000 or
more. Small wonder that Sadlak's bill is
called the first comnon-sense plan for tax re-
form in nearly 80 years.

SEPTEMBER MIRACLE

A miracle is happening in America this
month. 1t is happening in the great, sprawl
ing cities and in the remotest village. 1t is
happening in Maine and California, in Texas
and Florida and Delaware, all through the
Great Plains, in mountain and desert cOun-
try, and far north where Minnesota pokes
finger into Canada; it is happening every
where in these United States.
The miracle is happening to children.
Wonders are being performed for these, the
coming generation. Humanitys enduring
treasures are being brought before them
treasures of the mind and the heart The
children may take freely from the treasure
chest. yet it is always full to overhowing.
The rest of us have part in this mir
.ace, also. 1t strengthens the bright and beau
tiful fabric of our national life. Watching
the miracle transpire, we gain renewed as
surance that the America of tomorrow will
rise on foundation stones quarried from the
best experience Of the past.
The September miracle has a name, a
simple name: Back to school. Upon its re-
currence depend the future well-being and
happiness of all Americans

In his memorandum to the secre-

bad?

LIBERTY OR LICENSE?

to lift the passports of the az def
ant youngsters who went from the
Moscow youth congress to tour Red
China as guests of that unrecOg

question of the Departments au

zen go where he pleases? The only
court ruling on the subject says
that he can, but subject to "reas

No doubt there will soon be fur

will be an unhappy development if
the courts should hold that our
Constitutional freedom is global in
