Well. I've had it. That piece

rabbits in the Veterans Ad-
ministration hospital smoking
a pack Of cigarettes a day to
see II tobacco hurts them.
did It.
I've tried real hard to be
nice about the $72 billion
budget with all that foreign.
military. and domestic spend
ing, but the thought OF those
40 poor. innocent Dummies
wasting % cents a day on flags
is more than I can stand.
I know those Government
MASTERS buy filter tips, too.
Hang the cost. They may even
be spending IS cents a pack
on imported Turkish stun for
all ! know. And for what?
just to see what happens
when rabbits live modern.
Shucks, any TV fan could
tell them without spending
tax money. Those Dummies are
going to excel in sports, be
more popular than -smok-
ers, be irresistible to the oppo-
site sex, and due to calm,
satisfied nerves all will live to
be 100 years old.
Yes, I've had 1t. When Uncle
Sam has to spend tax money
for rabbit tobacco it's time for

Algerian Terrorism

The latest outrage in Algeria-an-
other act Of awful terrorism apparently
designed to advance the rebel cause
against France-can only be described as
an abominable mass murder that can in
no way be justified as freedom seeking
blow against French rule.
The scene is a suburban AlgierS ca
Sino. About 200 young men and women
are innocently dancing there, offending
no one, seeking merely some pleasant
companionship and mild diversion on a
Sunday afternoon. But planted among
them, by creature who presumably re-
CARDS himself as human being and an
anti-French patriot" is bomb Unseen
and unheard, it ticks away until suddenly
there is great explosion. And then,
just as suddenly, there are no fewer than
seven mangled corpseS, and dozens of
horribly injured, terribly suffering indi-
viduals barely out of their teen years.
This is but one of the many repriSal-
breeding atrocities, by no means the
worst, that have been reported from AL
geria with ever-increaSing frequency for
months past. What can anybody say of
it except that it does violence to every
standard Of human decency? 1t cannot
be excused as the work of homicidal
maniac. 1t is not single or isolated act
of madness. 1t is typical of a recurrent
evil, a systematic evil, an evil that seems
deliberately planned to happen again and
again-no matter how cruel, no matter
how barbarous. no matter how shockingly
uncivilized-as part of carefully cal
culated strategy of terror
Clearly If this is the way the Alge-
rian rebels propose to gain independence
from France (they deny that they are
guilty of these inhuman crimes, but
the denial is not very convincing), then
they are poorly equipped for self-govern-
ment in a civilized world.

The tax-cut hungry Con-
greSs has again made SlasheS
in our Nations vital defense
budget. Ignoring all logic. all
plans that have been made in
the past five years. and all
hope of a military deterrent
for peace. our Congressman
have sliced more than 81 bill
lion of a defense budget that
had already been cut several
times before it reached them.
At the same time, the De-
Tense Department appears
ready to sacrifice American
Sergeant Girard for perform
ing his duty while ON guard at
a post in Japan. Girard APP
parently is being turned over
to a Japanese court. at the
expense of all military prece-
dent. to preserve our edgy re-
lations with that country.
And at the same time. the
Army is trying to gain funds

1t uses an Air Force developed

system. And 1t duplicates the

sive weapon.
These are three seemingly
unconnected incidents that
cross the mind of a l7-year-
old high school graduate plan
ming to make a career in the
armed forces. But why should
or anyone else want to make
a military career when Con-
gress and people of the United
States have virtually no knowl-

apparently no desire to be de-
Tended?

And so the writer wishes to
cordially thank Mr.. Khru-

ideas for world peace. No eff

Like The Star commented
Mr.. Khrushchev emerged as
"a rather engaging" TV per-
sonality-not unlike some of
our own political leaders.
Why not? II TV sponsors

same for communism?

I enjoyed greatly Mr.. Khru-
shchev's television interview
and guess he enjoyed it. too.
for it gave him opportunities
to pronounce vigorous encom-
iums on communism. That was
his privilege-a Just reward for
lending himself to such a
strenuous piece of dialectics.
He has a supreme faith in his
Communistic pattern. We.
also, have a supreme faith in
the pattern which is giving us
unexampled prosperity.
But the really important
thing about his talk was its
spirit Of friendliness. AS he
suggests-armed warfare is
out Of the question as between
sane peoples. Also, cold war
fare can be ameliorated by a
spirit of friendly rivalry. Let
all peoples make progress TO
the utmost extent possible. Is
there anyone who would wish
differently?
After all. the Slavic race is
a great race-~communism or
no communism. II has great
gifts. great potential energies
and undoubtedly, a great flu
ture. Why should we. as
Americans, begrudge any prog
ress such people can make?
And vice-versa.
II among Khrushchevs peo-
pie the blessings Of literacy and
advanced education are rapidly
spreading, should we as Ameri-
cans regret this fact? And II
they are finding ways TO in
crease industrial and agricul-
tural production, should not
we, as a people, rejoice with
them over this enhanced pros
perity?
The writer earnestly feels
that the primary basis for
peace in the world is a pre-
vailing spirit Of well-wishing
for and among all peoples.
Peace on earth to men OF
good will" we urge as the
slogan for today. Indeed. can
there be enduring peace be-
tween any other kind OF
people?
The union Of all world
/. citizenry in such International
good will may become a po-
tency that will dispel war
clouds. And the sunshine of

vocates falling upstairs as

BY bending forward at the
hips until the weight is bal

There is no feeling Of rush,

I'm a former article, you
spoke of the possible harm of
deep breathing and standing
too straight. In breathing, the
lungs have first to be emptied
Of old air before new is taken
in.
This means the lungs must
be relaxed and there is a ma
tural desire for fresh air.
When we exercise there is a
natural call for more air as
the old is used up.
so when we are sedentary
and wish to liven up with a
few deep breaths, we must first
relax and breathe out, then
inhale.

Unless we stand up. we are
sitting on our stomachS and
all the internal organs, max
ing them carry the load that
the spine should assume, and
the lungs can only half empty

What is left in the lungs is
called residual air.

over-tensing the entire nerv-

Bomb Test Debate

During the current discus
sion concerning H-bomb tests,
fallout. ETC.. there are indica-
tions that many Of those in
volved in this most important
national debate are overlook
ing the fact that the funda-
mental questions to be an
swered are neither scientific
nor political. but moral in
nature.
The moral concept to be
applied to the testing of nu-
clear weapons is the principle
of double effect: that is. that
it be morally permissible to
use good or Indifferent means
which will result in a morally
evil effect as we'll as a morally
good effect. three conditions
must be met: % the moral
evil is not intended, 90 the
good does not follow from the
evil and 30 the good out
weighs the evil. 1t is this third
condition that is under dis
cussion at present. Some of
the questions to be answered
are: Does the moral good of
self defense outweigh the
moral evil that for each
H-bomb we test we are kill
ing thousands of innocent VIC
tins Of our own and future
generations? Are such tests
necessary for self defense?
How many people will be af-
fected by each creation of
radioactive material, and how
severely will they be affected?
In a democracy the moral
judgments Of the nation are
to be made by the people and
their elected representatives
and not by the paternalistic
administrators or by a cult of
experts in the science or tech
nology Of nuclear fiSSion. 1t is
the duty Of these admins
traitors. generals. experts to
inform the people on these
matters so that they may
make a proper moral judg-
ment.
1t is unfortunate that DR..
Willard F. Libby. the chemist
who has been in charge of the
dissemination of the Aces
information on these matters,
apparently has such a deep
distrust Of democratic princi-
Piles and the judgment of the
American people that for the
past several years he has done
his best to minimize the dan
gers involved.
Therefore. it has taken. for
the most part. scientists,
trained in scientific inference.
to see through the scientific
double talk of DR.. Libby and
to translate his slight addi-
tional risks" when applied to
individuals into thousands of
certain deaths when applied to
large populations.
1t is essential that the re-
Sponsible and conscientious
free press of this country give
us as complete an exposition
as possible Of these difficult
and highly technical debates
so that an informed public.
with the help of God. may be
able to make these most i'm
portant decisions with which
1t is faced.

Rejects Red China

There seems to be a tend
ency. given impetus by the
Taipei riots. to take a new
look at our China policy and
perhaps bring about recogni-
ton of Communist China.
followed by its ultimate seat
ing in the United Nations.
Much has been written
about this question, usually
based upon our position Wis
avis the Soviet Union. How
ever. it is this writer's view
that, if the Russian state for
all practical purposes posed no
threat whatever to this coun-
try, Red China, based on
its avowed internal and ex-
ternal policies. would not merit
recognition but rather unre-
hitting contempt by the
United States. Not for love of
Chang or hatred of Russia
should this blood-Soaked die
tatorship be opposed. but be-
cause the Peiping regime as
presently constituted and orr
ented is threat to all nations
which have a stake in the
future Of Asia. including our
allies. neutrals and the United
States. 1t might be noted that
the neutralist who looks to-
ward Red China might not
be gazing in admiration but
rather on closer inspection
may be found to have the
compulsive stare OF horror
which overcomes one looking
at the source Of his impending
doom. This may well be the
case despite the statements Of
future victims to the contrary.
A word about realism or
fiexibility as understood by the
British might be in order here.
Was it a realistic policy which
refused to implement the sane
tons Of the League OF Nations
against Fascist Italy? Was the
Munich compromise with Nazi
Germany an example of flexi-
bility? The arguments of
naked expediency notwith-
standing. may this country be
preserved from similar policy
with respect to a regime whose
very existence is a moral
blaSphemy and which neces-
sarily encompasses the physi-
cal and theological slavery of
its own people and OF its
neighbors.

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Kennedy's Blowing Out Premature

-
Probably no one was more
surprised than Senator John
F. Kennedy of Massachusetts,
when newspaper headlines de-
clared that he had bowed out
of the 1860 race" for the
Democratic presidential nom
nation. The report came from
Hot Springs. Ark. where he
had gone to speak to the
State Bar Association. Sena-
tor Kennedy is a candidate
for reelection to the Senate.
Like any other astute politi-
clan, the Massachusetts Sena-
tor is taking one hurdle at
time. He is not claiming to
be a candidate for anything
except the Senate. At the
same time. however, this is
vastly different from formally
announcing he will not be a
candidate for the 1860 presi-
Dental nomination, if and
when the proper time comes.
On the contrary, Senator Ken
nedy's activities by no means
discount the likelihood Of his
becoming available for presi-
Dental nomination. True, he
is just past his fortieth birth
day. But in 1860 he will be
40, a year older than President
Theodore Roosevelt was when
he entered the White House
from the vice presidency
when President Mckinley was
assassinated. During the last
week-and-a-half the Massa-
chusetts Senator has spoken in
South Carolina, Arkansas and
Georgia-all on earnest solic-
itation. He is, indeed, one
of the most sought after Demo-
cratic speakers today.
Former President Harry S.
Truman, questioned in Boston
over the week end as to his
personal choice for a Demo
cratic nominee in the 1860
presidential race. replied: II
have never posed as a prophet
or pollster. / have no candi-
date now, but when the time
comes, I will name him" Last
year Mr.. Truman declared
himself for Gov. Averell Harri-
man of New York for the presi-
Dental nomination. and against
the nomination Of Adlai Ste
venson. He did not announce
his choice until he arrived as
an honored guest at the Demo-
cratic National Convention. He
may wait again until the con-
vention of 1860.
Interest on Increase
Nevertheless, the question
of a Democratic candidate
for President already is gain
ing interest, particularly in
view of the fact that the
Democrats have great hopes
of winning the presidency
with President Eisenhower out
Of the picture as a can
didate. At this early date.
one man at least seems GER
tain to be in the race for
the Democratic nomination
Gov. c.. Mennen Williams of
Michigan. who is counted on
to run next year for a sixth
term as Governor of his State,
and win.
There are others who likely
will be knocking at the door.
and Senator Kennedy is by
no means the least. despite
the fact that he is a Catholic.
Gov. Meyner of New Jersey,
provided he wins reelection
next Novemb Der, will have
strong backing in all proba-
bility. According to reports
from New Jersey. heavy sup

ton of Meyner. Senator Lyn-
don johnson of Texas. major

ity leader Of the Senate, I'M
doubtedly will have his sup
porters for the presidential
nomination. The Texas Sena-
tor has done q remarkable
job in lining up his party
members in the upper house.
Other potential candidates In
the Senate include Senators
Humphrey Of Minnesota, Sym
ington Of Missouri and Kefau-
yer Of Tennessee. Unless all
signs fail, Adlai Stevenson,
defeated in 1852 and 1856 for
the presidency, is definitely
and finally out Of the picture
for 1860. He has said as much.
Senator Kefauver, his running
mate last year, is a horse Of
another color. He was the
runner-up for the presidential
nomination in 1852, and he
won the vice presidential
nomination last year despite
strong opposition to him from
his own section of the coun-
try. including the Governor
of Tennessee. He has a special
following which is not to be
laughed OF.
Kennedy Tops Picture
Senator K nedy today
dominates the Democratic
picture in Massachusetts.
This does not mean that Rep
resentative John Mccormack.
majority leader Of the House.
and a potential Speaker Of
the House if Representative
Sam Rayburn Of Texas should
relinquish that Office, does
not hold an important place
in Democratic politics in the
Bay State. But Kennedy as
a Statewide candidate seems
today unbeatable. Republicans
in Massachusetts, have little
if any hope of defeating him
next year. Indeed, Senator
Kennedy would be a strong
candidate in other New Eng
land States and probably in
Eastern Seaboard States, in
Guiding New York, New Jer-
sey, Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania. The fact that he Is
Catholic may send some Of
the Democrats scurrying to
other candidates, remember
ing what happened to the
late Gov. Alfred E. Smith OF
New York almost 80 years
ago. That was a disgraceful
campaign, and it is to be
hoped that should Kennedy
be a nominee for President
the character of the 1928
campaign will not be re-
peated.
AS of today there is no crys-
utilization upon a Democratic
presidential nominee in 1860.
There is no doubt, however.
that Gov. Williams, with the
record he has made for victory
in what is regarded as
Republican State. and with
the strong backing of organized
labor which he has, will be a
formidable candidate. He is not
letting the grass grow under
his feet, but is travelling and
speaking in various parts Of the
country. Southern Democrats
are likely to oppose him
strongly for the presidential
nomination because Of the
stand he has taken in favor
of civil rights and indignation
of the public schools. However.
the Southern Democrats have
not been able to nominate a
candidate of their own liking
in recent years. In the event
of a deadlocked convention,
they might be able to exert
a balance Of power against
either Kennedy or Williams
and in favor of some other
candidate

Day-to-Day Operations
OF a Dairynan-Feeder
By ALBERT KING

FALL IS A GOOD time of the year
to spread manure on fields, especially
if there is enough rainfall to carry the
plant foods into the soil before it
freezes up. Today we finished cleaning
out the corrals and feedlots and COM
pleted the job of spreading the summer
accumulation of fertilizer.
The scientists say that in order to
realize the most value from barnyard
manure it should be plowed down i'm
mediately after it is spread. The rea-
son for this is to stop bacterial action
by creating a cold environment not
suitable to bacterial growth. There are
many good reasons why this practice
cannot always be followed.
The accumulation of manure in the
dairy corrals and feedlots is a con-
tinuous process. 1t goes on every day
and every night and these lots must be
cleaned out regularly. clean my lots
three and four times year and at only
one or two of these periods is it prac-
teal to plow field. Then, too, manure
is applied to pastures and alfalfa fields
that are not to be plowed at all this
season.
Add Phosphate
I find that if manure is piled in a
large heap it invariably heats and burns
and much of the plant food value that
it originally contained is lost before il
gets to the field. The nitrogen contained
in manure is volatile and escapes as a
gas. This loss can be reduced almost
entirely by the proper use of phosphate
