WILD GAME DINNER
SET FOR SATURDAY

Final plans are underway for
the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen
annual wild game dinner which
will be held in the Central school
gymnasium Saturday, October
rs.
All committee members are
requested to be at the gym by
J0 o'clock Saturday morning.
Members are reminded that
tickets for themselves and their
auests are available at Maud's
Flowers in the theatre building.
All assignments have been
made and members are urged to
have their game dishes at the gym
before pm. and to be sure they
take enough to provide for their
guests. For the first year, there
will be no meat cutters provided.
IT is believed by the committee
that if the roasts and other hot
dishes which will have to be cut,
are cut at home and wrapped in
foil, that food will remain hot
longer, by eliminating the wait
ing period while the cutters pre-
pare the dishes.

Good Neiqhbor' Envoy

The United States-Mexico good
neighbor" relationship, an important
one in Western Hemisphere affairs, is
being entrusted to capable hands with
the dispatch of Robert c. Hill as our new
Ambassador in Mexico City. The youth
full and energetic Mr. Hill is not novice
at inter-American relations. For approx
imately year during the first Eisen-
hover administration he served as Am
bassador to Costa RIGA and for another
year in the same capacity in Ell Salvador.
His tours Of duty in those two countries
were notable for the thoroughness of his
travels and the breadth Of his acquaint-
ance with various segments of the popu-
lation-an approach which he already
has indicated he intends to follow again
in Mexico. AS Assistant Secretary Of
State for Congressional Relations since
early 1856, Mr.. Hill has been both popu-
lar and effective while keeping Foggy
Bottom and Capitol Hill reasonably
happy with each other. In recommend
ing his confirmation, the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee accorded him un-
usually warm compliments He has an
opportunity now for further distin-
guished service and there is confidence
he will acquit himself well.

strain some tempers. The current econ
omy mood Of Congress also viii have
another outlet before action is completed
on the foreign aid program. The Senate
has passed an authorization bill but 1t
has not yet come to the floor Of the
House and neither branch, of course, has
reached the point of voting funds to
carry out the program. Backed up at
various points in the legislative pipeline
are such major issues as: Federal aid
for school construction, postal rate in
creases, extension Of minimum wage
coverage, relaxing Of Federal control
over natural gas producers, establishing
Federal control over welfare and pension
plans, statehood for Alaska and Hawaii
and numerous others.
Although several Of these figured In
platform pledges Of both parties, there
has been no strong pressure on either
side Of the partisan aisle to clear them
this year. All contain the elements Of
long controversy and the direction Of the
political winds next year probably will
be determining factor. At this reading,
the record Of the first session does not
promise to be impressive but the time
of real accountability to the voters still
is sixteen months away.

A Look at the Record

Congressional sessions in nonelec-
ton years cuStomarily are not the most
productive of major legislation as both
parties tend to hold their fire for the
potential political advantage of more
spectacular action shortly before voting
time. The record of this first session
of the 85th Congress appears likely to
conform to this pattern. particularly If
the Senate becomes involved in lengthy
consideration of the civil rights bill.
Since legislation, at whatever stage to-
ward enactment, remains alive through
out the two years of Congress the
preliminary work in committees will rep
resent start toward greater accom-
plishment in the second session.
At this point, the House has COM
pleted action on all regular appropria-
ton bills and only the public works sup
ply measure is pending in the Senate.
Two of the big money bills are in con-
ference = for Agriculture and Defense,
with a possibility that compromising
House and Senate differences on the
latter may consume some time and

Too Much Taxes

To paraphrase Marie An
toinette. when the mob cried
for bread. her contemptuous
answer was. Give them
cakel"
When President Eisen-
hover says we cannot cut
the national budget. because
the people demand so much
Of government that can only
be paid for by excessive
taxation. one wonders
whether he, too, has not been
lulled into a sense of impa-
tent misinterpretation Of the
public will.
TOO much taxes" Those
three little words, says John
Fiske. noted authority on
civil government, furnish us
with a clue wherewith TO
understand and explain a
great deal Of history. Ex-
amples: The French and
American revolutions. only
to mention two Of the great
world upheavals caused by
too much taxes"

Disarmament

The United States and the
Soviet Union are now en-
gagged in a fateful race with
time in their efforts to ar
rive at an ornaments agree
ment before Communist
China. thrusting itself up as
the leader of the United
Nations General Assembly,
succeeds in debating the
terms of the ornaments
settlement to the United
States and the Soviet Union.
The cardinal principle of
Chinese Communist foreign
policy, through its new liberal
face and projected working
control of the United Nations
General Assembly. is to re-
solve and liquidate what it
regards as the contradictions
and conflicts Of the American
and Soviet ways of life, and
to transform the whole
human race into a Great
China. The military goal of
Communist China is to
create. expand and unite,
under Chinese Communist
leadership. a worldwide
ranging neutralist web of
smaller atomic powers, until
the United States and the
Soviet Union, their atomic
weapons monopoly broken
and their security systems
thrown into turmoil. are
completely isolated.
The time has come for the
political and military leaders
of the United States and the
Soviet Union to soberly and
swiftly reappraise their at
titudeS toward the London
Disarmament Conference.
The disarmament talks in
London must not fail: they
cannot fail if the atomic
ornaments race is to be over
come and to be kept from
sprea ding like cancer
throughout the world. The
governments of the United
States and the Soviet Union
will either arrive at an
honorable ornaments agree
ment in London in 1857, or
within a decade have Com
muniSt China, in working
control of the United Ma
tions General Assembly,
dictate the terms of the
ornaments settlement and
the future of mankind to the
United States, the Soviet
Union and the world.

announce within Q month or
six weeks he viii be q candi-
date for Governor Of his State,
1t is now confidently expected.
This means. Of course. he
must first win nomination
presumably against Governor
Goodwin j. Knight, another
prominent California Repub-
lican. At this writing. the
chances Of q Knowland VIC
tory for the SUPERNATURAL
nomination appear excellent.
For the California Senator
has shown tremendous voter
appeal in the past. For exam
pie, in 1852 he won the nomi-
nation for Senator-to sue
coed himself-in both the Re-
publican and Democratic pri-
maries, under the system OF
cross-filing permitted by the
California election laws. This
meant he was "in." He had
merely token opposition from
a third-party candidate in the
November general election.
The total vote cast for Know
land in the general election
was almost 4 million. In the
primary election. he carried
every county in the State for
the Republican senatorial
nomination. and all except
one for the Democratic nomi-
nation.

quarters that Gov. Knight. If

tor Knowland. But Senator
Knowland's experience in
the 1852 senatorial primaries
would indicate that he had
much labor support. Despite
the fact his Democratic OPP
ponent had the backing OF
many of the labor union
leaders and the ADA. Know
land rolled up leads in coun-
ties where labor was both
prolific and strong. Further,
it cannot be argued that
Senator Knowland was an
Eisenhower "coattail rider"
in this victory in 1852. He
was nominated for the
Senate before the Republican
National Convention met
that summer in Chicago and
nominated the President.
Indeed, Knowland was a sup

Biq Promise in Europe

The French National Assembly now
has joined the West German Parliament
in ratifying two historic treaties full Of
immense promise for the future Of free
Europe. These are the treaties that will
serve as the foundation for great and
unprecedented cooperative undertake
ing in which six nations, forgetting their
bitter rivalries and wars of the past, will
pool their brains, their resources and
their separate sovereigntieS to establish
a common economic market and COM
mon atomic agency for peaceful develop
ment.
Following the lead Of the Germans
and the French, the four other nations
involved-Italy, Belgium, the Neither
lands and Luxembourg-are expected to
complete the ratification process at an
early date. AS a result, it seems virtu-
ally certain that the treaties will become
fully effective by the first Of next year.
Thereafter, with the setting up Of all
the necessary administrative machinery,
two supernatural executive, parlia-
mentary and judicial authorities will
begin functioning. One of these will
govern the operations of the single eco
nomic market, while the second will run
the affairs of the atomic community
(Euratom).
The single market, which will en-
brace the overseas territories of the
member nations, will take form by
stages, beginning at first with a lower
ing of the tariff barriers now maintained
by the six countries, and proceeding
from there with various other co-opera-
tive measures leading toward economic
indignation. AS for Euratom, 1t will
bring these countries together in mas
sive endeavor to produce vast common
supply Of nuclear power for industrial
and other nonmilitary uses. To that
end, the community's first goal (perhaps
too ambitious) will be to harness the
atom for Joint output of million kilo-
watts of electricity by 1862.
Given wise and vigorous admins
tration, both of these projects-with
which Britain probably will associate
itself, though not asa full member-will
certainly promote mutual enrichment
on large scale. True, they cannot
achieve any overnight wonders, but in
time, if there is an unflagging effort to
make them succeed, they are bound to
bring great economic blessings to the
cooperating nations. More than that,
they can hardly fail to speed up moves
toward political federation of sort that
would vastly strengthen free Europe Wis
Avis the Soviet bloc.
That is one of the big reasons why
the Kremlin, just as in the case Of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization, has
persiStently attacked the single-market
and Euratom projects. And it is also,
by the same token, one of the big rea-
sons why our own country is prepared
to do whatever it can to foster the sue
cess Of this truly inspiring six-nation
enterprise for European peace and
prosperity
