Sen. John Sherman Cooper
(Rep., KY repeatedly said re-
Gently that some attacks on
President EisenhoWer's budget
are aimed at discrediting the
Presidents philosophy of govern
ment.
Well, President Eisenhower
has said repeatedly that the only
way to cut the budget sub
stantially is to eliminate pro-
grams" which he proposes, not
only to keep, but to expand.
So, according to the Presi--
dents own statements, attacks on
the budget, to be effective, of
necessity must be attacks on his
philosophy of government.
What Mr.. Cooper seems not
to understand is that a tremen-
dous lot of Americans are sick
and tired Of a philosophy of gov
ernment that by taxing u. S.
citizens constantly more and
more takes ever more and more
of their God-given liberty from
them. The proposed budget, and
the philosophy of which it was
begotten, is contrary to the
spirit of the Constitution. Gov
ernment, instituted as a shield,
has become an intolerable bur
den. That is what the attacks on
the budget are about-and, if the
people now in Washington can't
understand this, then it's time to
send some people to Washing
ton who can-and will.

By Ted w. Brown -
Secretary of State OF Ohio

Many vote, but few, no doubt,
have served as precinct officials
or realize the caution and detail
which surround the counting of
their votes.
When the polls close at $50
election day, the precinct officials
begin to count and tabulate the
votes cast for each candidate and
for and against each question or
issue. If voters are waiting in
line at the polling place at $50
they are permitted to vote.
Before the actual tabulation is
begun, they must account for all
voted and soiled, defaced or un-
used ballots to be certain they
have no more or fewer ballots
than the number delivered to the
polling place by the Board of
Elections.
The election statutes set forth
in detail how the counting and
tallying must be done. One of
the judges takes ballot and
reads aloud the names of the
candidates voted for and the vote
on any questions or issues that
were submitted. A clerk of the
opposite political party then
makes tally marks for each vote
read aloud on work sheets pro-
vided by the Board of Elections.
A judge of the same political
party as the clerk verifies the
votes SO read and tailed. This
same procedure is followed until
all the ballots have been counted.
The presiding judge then ex-
amines the work sheets; signs
them and inserts the total vote
for each candidate and issue in
each poll book, the official record
of the election in that precinct.

mathematical turn of mind will
see in an instant that you can
stretch a travel-budget dollar to
three times its normal length
by shopping carefully for pesos.
In general. the best place to dc
your peso buying is in Colombia,
and the l,est place there. as a
rule, is Thomas Cook-fn Bogota

Three shopping Cities
There are three major cities
in Colombia for shoppers: b.
gotta, the capital; Medellin. the
chief textile center. and Carte
gena. the silver city, on the
Spanish Main.
If. however. you have lin
tied amount Of time in Colombia,
you can do all your shopping in
Bogota. This city of a million
people serves Colombia in ap-
proximately the role filled by
Paris In France.
The bargain streets in Bogota
are Avenida Septima and Ave-
nida Decima Tor. in English, 7th
and 10th avenues. Many OF
the fine gift shops are on side
streets. Just a step or two away
from Septima.
Decima. for the most part. Is
q haven for those seeking leath-
er goods. This traveller bought

good wearing quality.)
Colombian silversmiths are
experts. too. in jewelry. which
costs just about as much as the
tax you would pay on similar
pieces in the United States.
Colombian textiles are well
worth q long look-and anyone
who looks long is likely 10 buy
lavishly. Best bets are wool
pieces - Indian shawls. both
plain and Of fancy design; semi
circular native-made stoles; fine,

Medellin stoles Of tremendous
size.
A special word should be said
about the Colombian national
evercoat. the ruana. 1t is stand

most exactly three times what it
cost in Bogota. And what is
more. the bag looks foreign"
enough to have a special at

hotel and airline stickers all over
a bag like this one to proclaim
to the world that it has been
around.
There are many fine luggage
shops along Decima-and, un-
happily. a few traps. The best
bet. in shopping for luggage. is
to drop in first at the American
Embassy in the big skyscraper
on Decima and ask one of the
attaches where to go to avoid
being cheated.
This travellers added sug-
gestion would be to look in the
window Of. the leather-goods
store. and If you see any
shrunken heads displayed for
sale. stay out. The heads are
phony: chances are the rest of
the leather goods will be phony,
too.
For general merchandise in
the gift and souvenir line, walk
along Septima from the vicinity
of the Presidential Palace to the
national park adjoining the bull
ring and the new skyscraper
Hotel Tequendama. This is about
two miles. and well worth the
walk even in the 8.300-foot alti-
tude Of Bogota.
No Rule Of Thumb
On Septima and just of It

2Found Guilty
In Payoff Plot

A Federal Court jury yesterday
convicted two men Of conspiracy
in an attempted gambling payoff
protection scheme and also found
one of them guilty Of bribery
attempt.
One Of them, Mitchell D. Ia
2anis, 40. was found guilty on
the conspiracy count only. The
other man, George L. Langley,
40. was found guilty on both the
conspiracy count and a bribery
count which accused him of
turning over 800 in July, 1854,
to a police investigator in an
attempt to get protection from
dice game gambling.
The jury deliberated a little
more than an hour in reaching
Its verdict. Judge Charles F. Nc
Laughlin referred the case to
the probation officer for in
vestigation pending sentence, for
which no date was set. Judge
Mclaughlin permitted the two
defendants to remain free under
bond until sentence.
ThOman Testifies
The conspiracy court charged
that the conspiracy continued
from about October %. 1858. to
about September IA, 1854.
The police investigator, Police
Capt. Todd o. Thoman. jr.. at
that time a lieutenant, was
working with the knowledge and
approval of police superiors and
the United States Attorneys
Office. Capt. Thoman testified
Monday as the principal Gov
ernment witness and said the
money was turned over to him
by Langley in the presence Of
ZaZanis.
Both defendants blamed their
plight on missing former pro-
bationary detective George C,
Prather. a co-defendant in the
case. Prather's whereabouts have
been unknown to the authorities
since he disappeared last fall and
failed to show up in October to
begin serving a sentence in con-
spiracy. Prather. if found. also
is scheduled to be tried on the
charges in the case just ended
Threats Charged
Zazanis testified that Prather
threatened to have his probation
on another gambling case revoked
If he did not swing along"
Langley testified Prather ap-
preached him and suggested he
would make it uncomfortable II
he didn't do what the detective
wanted him to do.
Convicted former Police Capt.
John B. Monroe was named a CO.
defendant on one count only
that of conspiracy-in the case
Just tried. Assistant United States
Attorney Edward P. Troxell said
there was insufficient evidence
against Monroe in the absence Of
Prather and moved to dismiss the
charge against Monroe before the
trial Of Zazanis and Langley be-
gan. The charge was then dis
missed.
Monroe is serving q prison
term Of from 90 months to five
years on conspiracy and bribery
charges. as result of his convic-
ton in another case.
