Equal Rights For Fathers!

Equal Rights For Fathers!
With the 47th anniversary of Fa-
theirs Day coming up June 18th,
our only lady Senator, Mrs. Mar
garet Chase Smith, of Maine, has
risen in the chamber of that august
body to castigate her fellow solons
for their self-consciousness and
their small, sensitive feelings. In
supporting the cursade of the mo-
ther who founded Fathers Day,
Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, of Spo-
kane, Washington, the lady from
the opposite side of the continent
presented what she called IAN
equal-rights joint resolution" TO
authorize the President to proclaim
the third Sunday of each June as
Fathers Day throughout the United
States.
Senator Smith reminded her male
colleagues that Mothers Day was
legaIized in 1917 and she was all
for it, but said she sometimes felt
''just a little embarrassed at the
deifcation accorded us by the male
population. She charged Congress
with 40 years of the worst possible
oversight" and declared.
Either we honor both our par
ents, mother and father, or let us
desist from honor either one. But
to single out just one of our two
parents and omit the other is the
most grievous insult imaginable.

PLANNING FIRE SAFETY

All over America, public and semi-public
buildings such as hospitals, schools and
nursing homes are being planned. The law
of averages dictates that fire will break out
in some of them and that some of them will
become death traps.
The number of these buildings in which
people will be injured and die as result
of fire could be cut by planning. This is en-
phasized by John C. Thornton, chairman of
the American Institute of Architects COM
mittee on human safety.
Thornton and other like-minded archi-
tects do not believe that planning alone can
prevent fires. They are quite aware that hu-
man error causes fires, and that human error
cannot be planned out of buildings. But they
believe that architects can design buildings
in such way that fires will be less danger
Gus.
What the architect can do, among other
things, Thornton said recently at a conven-
tion of his colleagues "is to design building
that when fire does come the occupants will
not be killed by lethal gases before they can
escape"
This is an important point, and practi-
cal one. Even a so-called "fire- proof" build
ing is dangerous, because it's contents are
fammable. Thornton and his colleagues be-
lieve that automatic vents SHOULD be con-
sidered at the design stage in every building,
especially where people sleep or where large
numbers of people cOngregate."
This is not as simple as it sounds, but it
could be done. The use of venting and of
other fire-proofing that is designed into a
building should be seriously considered for
all public and semi-public buildings now in
the planning stage.

FEDERAL, TAXES

Even though we are in an infationary
spiral and the experts tell us that we should
not reduce taxes, which they say would only
add to the infiationary pressure, we cannot
refrain from commenting that Federal taxes
are so high as to stifie initiative and expan-
sion and constitute threat to the prosperity
of the nation.
This almost sounds like an old record,
coming twelve years after World War IL, at
a time when some of the taxes of World War
III are still on the books Moreover the Kor-
can War came along few years later and
Congress added a new set of wartime taxes,
some of which are still in effect.
Taxes must be reduced in the near future
or the country is going to suffer. There is no
reason why individuals should be taxed more
than fifty per cent on money they are able to
earn. If an individual is smart enough, or
fortunate enough, to earn big money and give
a dollar to the Federal Government for every
dollar he earns then he is paying enough to
the Federal Government.
He must pay local taxes, state taxes, and
other taxes, and he must have money for
expansion and for use as savings, or future
security, and therefore it is exacting too
much to take more than one out of every two
dollars, even from large money -earners.
In the lower income tax brackets, percent
ages should be reduced accordingly. The cap
ital which is earned, if taxes are lowered, can
go into new business ventures and create new
industries and new jobs When it is paid to
the Government in taxes, the Government
merely spends it, adding to the infationary
spiral.
While good case can probably be made
for the Government maintaining high taxes,
the case for reducing them is even better,
and they must come down in the near fu-
ture or the country's expansion will be ad-
versely affected.

Planes Nobody Rides

Few men in America today can
speak with greater authority on
guided missiles than Major General
Samuel r. Brentnall who retired
last year as Assistant Chief Of Staff
for Guided Missiles, U. S. Air
Force.
He thinks that if the W. ballistic
missile developed by the Nazis to-
ward the close of World War Ii
had been equipped with nuclear
warheads, the victor might
not have been the Western Allies"
But, in his article in the current
issue OF PLANES, official publica-
ton of the Aircraft Industries As
sociation, General Brentnall goes
on to say that: "As long as the
aircraft industry and its associated
companies keep evolving potent
guided missiles, the lead which
this country holds over the Rus
slams in the missile field will be
maintained and possibly even in
creased"
The General goes into consider
able detail to clear. up popular
misunderstanding of the guided
missile especially the idea that
it is merely projectile with col
lege education, or "a shell hous-
ing electronic black boxes.
"It is an airframe with wings
and fins, he writes, "in the same
sense that manned bombers, fight
ers and transports are airframes
1t requires a propulsion system
which must be married to the
airframe for efficient operation
just as in the piloted plane. Pro

Dear Friends:
What's new in your life this
week? 1t seems headlines in the
daily paper become more important
in Hayes and my life every single
day. We've been an Air Force FAM
lily for the past six years now and
in that time our service friends
have scattered to the four winds.
The morning paper announces a
huge tidal wave slammed" into
and this was result of the earth
quakes in Alaska. Lois Duda was
in my bridge club here in Topeka
for the past 212 years and she and
her family left in January for a
three year tour in Honolulu. Then
you remember at Christmas time
when we met our very first Air
Force friends from Tampa-Mac-
Dill AFB-at the Hotel DUPONT.
Now Shirley and Ed valient are
stationed at Anchorage. So you see
no matter where the headlines
point we seem to have special in
terest in all directions.
Our papers today are also talk
ing about three nationally known
people. You all have heard of Aunt
Jemima Did you know that she
cooked for a southern colonel's
family and often cooked for large
groups of people and her delectable
pancakes soon became local favo-

SMALL TOWN PEOPLE

The other day we were reading sports
column by Jimmy Cannon, writing from
New York and it praised small town people.
We were very much interested in the opinion
expressed and agree most heartily.
Cannon noted that some fraudulently So
phisticated city slickers lived under the as
sumption that small town people were to be
ridiculed. We have always believed, as Can
non does, apparently, that small town people
are the backbone of this country.
1t is in the average small town, or city,
and in the rural areas, that the real strength
of this country lies. Of course, the cities
have bright lights, many modern convent
ences and other new fads, gadgets and en-
tertainments that small-town life may not
have.
On the other hand, the advent of the au-
tomobile television and modern conveniences
powered by electricity have made it possible
for those living in small towns and in rural
areas to have many of the things which for
merly were available only in the cities. and
to enjoy the many benefits of non-city life, as
well.
AS to the people themselves, we say that
most small-town people, or rural folk, have
a sort of dignity of simplicity which is both
wholesome and refreshing, and which is one
of the characteristic traits of the typical
American. The city slicker is not smarter
than he is, merely slicker.

UNITY is THE KEY

An overlooked feature of the rift and
differences of opinion between America, on
the one hand, and some of it's Western friends
or allies on the other, is that this is likely to
be interpreted in the Arab world as a sign
of disunity.
In affirming neutrality, Arab nations did
so on the basis that two blocs existed. They
can clearly understand that the Western bloc
is not firmly knit together as a unified ali-
ance This is likely to lead them to attempt
to play the Western powers against one an
other. Further, it might happen that efforts
will be made to line up the United States
against other Western countries on various
issues.
Nasser has already been delaying the
clearance of the Suez Canal This affects the
vital interests of France and Great Britain;
in fact, of all of the nations of Western Eu-
rope. Nasser, with Russian prodding, can
try to continue this and thereby weaken fur
ther the ties which America has with its
Western democratic allies. For the United
States, following its action on the British
French Suez invasion, now must get the
Canal opened and protect the interests of
France and Great Britain or else suffer a
more serious rift with them than has yet oc-
Cured.
Nasser and his Moscow friends have it in
their power to put heavy pressure on the
Western alliance. This possibility ought con-
stantly to be kept in mind.

ELECTION SURPRISES

Political alignments are really changing
in this country. A recent compilation of last
falls election figures showed a curious re
suit In 1886 the Republicans elected but 80
members of the House of Representatives out
of 435 1t might have been thought that
these were truly rock-ribbed districts, which
could have been expected to go Republican,
come what might. Yet last fall IA of these
went Democratic.
On the other hand, 1916 was year, OF
victory for the Republicans, when they won
their greatest House majority since 1928.
Yet 13 seats which the Democrats then re-
tanned, in year when everything else went
badly, are now Republican.
Political prophets suffer from three fall
lacies In prophesying outcOmes, they assume
that no one has died since the last election,
no one has moved away, and no one has
changed his party alignment. No wonder
that every election shows results which the
wiseacres did not anticipate.

2OO,OOO,OOO IN TEN YEARS

The Census Bureau reports that the pop
ulation of the United States has now passed
the 100000 O,000-mark and the total is in
creasing every day.
The latest survey shows that population
in this country only recently passed 100000
900, after increasing 100000 in the last
six years. This is an enormous increase and
explains the prediction of the Census Bureau
that the prediction of the Census Bureau that
the population will reach 200,000,000, repre-
senting another increase of 30,000,000, with
in ten years.
Take the year, 1856, for example. In that
year, there were 100000 births and only
100000 deaths. Then, there was a gain
of 100000 immigrants unusually large
number-which added up to total gain of
almost 100000 for the year.
This is an astounding rate of growth, and
means that the United States may catch up
with Russia in the population category in the
not unforeSeeable future. The Russian pop
ulation is not increasing as fast as ours al
though it is estimated that there are more
than 200,000,000 Russians in the u. S. S. r.
today The United States is expected to reach
that figure in less than ten years, and it may
well be that in few decades, our popula-
tion will be approximately equal
China, however, remains the colossus OF
all the nations in the population category,
with an estimated 600,000000 people.

The Jackson State College Or

in the B. F. Roberts Dining Hall
Saturday, May 25. The String Or
chestra is an outgrowth of class
instru. tion in violin, viola, cello,

sophomore music majors. All of
the students in the string group
began their first study of these in
struments in September, 1857.
Class instruction in the string
instruments on the College level is
designed for those intending to
teach. Early experiences in the
classes included playing simple
melodies and scales on each of the
instruments. Later the students
selected the string instrument best
suited to their individual interest
and physiques. Technics of per.
formance are integrated with tech
MICS of teaching, so that each stu
dent completing the course has not
only received a better understand
ing and appreciation of another
area in music but special training
to meet the new responsibilities
facing public school music teachers
