troll and reduction Of the arms
Of the world.
Calls President Able
President Eisenhower is
especially able and effective in
direct across-the-table talks
with other responsible men. His
discussion with other heads of
government during the past five
years, and. in fact, his contacts
with other top men during the
past 20 years, have invariably
led to some progress of a ia
vorable nature.
President Eisenhower has had
experience in war and in peace
such as very few men in all
history have had.
In any talks with him, it Is
soon apparent that he is
straightforward and deeply de-
voted to the sound objectives
of our country in a broad
gagged manner.
He never INDUCES in the
devious double talk which some
times is a characteristic of talks
between some diplomats. His
long talks with Prime Minister
Nehru at his farm in Gettys-
burg and in Washington made
a real contribution to the un-
derstanding on both sides. His
sessions with such diverse per-
sonalitieS as Sir Whist o n
Churchill and tn King OF Saudi
Arabia and the Emperor OF
Ethiopia, all had good results.
This is why I believe that
in the years Immediately ahead
there should be a minimum i'm
position upon the President
for ceremonies and social oc-
casions and political caucuseS
and a maximum use Of his
Incompatible talents in plain
speaking sessions with the
heads Of governments of Russia
and of other countries of the
world.
Summer Meeting Possible
Once this policy and this
principle are clearly estab-
lished, the preparatory work
for such conferences can go
forward with dispatch and with
efficiency. A thoroughly pre-
pared summit conference could
readily be held in the later part
Of June this year, or in July
or early August at the United
Nations headquarters, if the
decision is promptly made to
hold one.
Thus any specific immediate
agreements resulting from such
a meeting could be taken up by
the United States Senate before
it closes its work in this con-
gressional session.
Furthermore. the negotiating
and technical groups which
should follow through from
such a conference could carry
out their work and be ready to
report to the new Congress
when it meets in January, 1853.
For those who express dis
appointment when an inter-
national meeting fails to come
up with sensational results, let
me emphasize that the import.
ance of major international
meetings such as a summit
conference is that they help
maintain direct contacts be-
tween leaders Of governments
and they focus world attention
on constructive efforts to re-
solve problems.
Thus they aid in a more
thorough understanding Of the
positions. interests and view
points on each side. Misun-
Outstanding and miscalculation
are two of the principal sources
OF war in the centuries of re-
corded history. Plain direct dis
cussion will contribute to peace.

PLEA FOR DECENT CAMPAIGNING

PLEA FOR DECENT CAMPAIGNING
NOW THAT THE campaign for political offices is
upon us it would be a refreshing change Of the old pro
cedure if the parties, and even Independent candidates
would set cut their platforms and address themselves
to the situation as it exists.
TIME WAS WHEN political campaigns were literal
insults to the public and the voters as a whole. Anyone,
qualified or not, prepared or not, if he got the notion in
his head that he wanted to run for the Municipal Coun-
Gil las the legislative body was known in those days.
could easily do So once he ran around and got the re-
CURED number Of signatures. The result would often be
one grand conglomeration Of nonsense in a great many
cases.
AND SUCH A RESULT would almost be newt
able. Candidates, totally unaware Of what the processes
Of government are, insensitiye to the needs of the great
masses Of people, but often fulfilling a personal ambi-
ton would be the ones campaigning, and in many in
stances, winning. Great masses Of people would flock to
the market places to hear the lectures and enjoy the
fun, and little, if any, attention was ever given to the
seriousness Of the problem.
"A LECTURE AS it would i~nsistently be called
(heaven knows not Why would often be one long
harangue in which attack was the by-word. The eandi-
date with the iloudest mouth, and the most vicious at
tack would best hold the attention Of the crowd, which
applauded long and loud. In short, the whole thing
would often settle downato a crude series of character
assassinations the like of which no one not on the scene
could imagine.
THANK HEAVEN that is changing, and with the
passage Of time theneedt to regard politics with greater
dignity and more seriousness isbeginning to show signs
Of shining through. And that is the way it should be.
How long we could have continued the old system no
ono; knows, but it would certainly havespelled ruin for
the free democratic system in these parts.
, 1958-10-02
NOW WE ARE about to witness Al

NOW WE ARE about to witness another political
campaign. The die is cast. The race is on. Before the
whole thing gets under way in earnest, those who take
parteshould come forth with the following: "A code Of
ethics to be strictly adhered to during the campaign.
This code should seek to prevent abuse Of candidates as
individuals, Of dragging wholly personal incidents into
the campaign, Of abuse u~nbeconing Of a public represen-
tatiye, and aboye all, Of combining the discussions to the
issues involved. a
BEFORE GOING even further into the matter, this
campaign should see the parties and their candidates
with 4 platform. Thevoters and the public should know
what these candidates intend to do, if elected, and how.
It seems to us that if this is done there will be little time
for the circls-like nonsense which has characterized
political campaigns for 50 long in these parts.

Judges by Appointment

replace the voice of the people in naming
judges.
The peoples voice would actually be
stronger if the governor had a free choice
in making appointments.
The governor is, at least, an elected
official and is responsible to the people.
Lawyers aren't elected by anyone.
There are advantages in setting some
public officials beyond the reach of public
pressure. Perhaps judges should be among
them.
But there are risks, too, serious risks.
Officials who aren't directly answerable
to the people can become far too unrespon-
sive to current needs and problems.
So the people should be extremely eau
tious in surrendering any of their rights.
And certainly they shouldn't allow
themselves to be stampeded into accepting
major change without making sure they
understand all the angles.
Columbus Citizen
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-01-02

Since the courts shouldn't be swayed
by shifting political winds, there admittedly
are some strong arguments for appointing
judges instead of electing them.
But before the voters surrender their
rights to choose judges, they must take a
long and careful look at any proposed
alternative.
And even a quick glance betrays this
serious weakness in the proposal which the
Ohio Bar Association is offering the public.
The bars proposal would take the selec-
ton of judges not just one step from the
people, but two.
The governor would make the appoint
ments But he would be limited in his choice
to names offered by "citizen's committee"
half of whose members would be lawyers.
The lawyers would inevitably dominate
the committee since they would be far
better acquainted with the list of prospects
than other members
Thus the voice of the lawyers would

INCOME TAX FACTS
FOR NOBLE COUNTIANS

Now is the time to think about
the tax bill you are going to
gay next year because now is the
time you can do something
about it. You can take action
now that will reduce the bill, or,
if tax is withheld from your pay
checks, increase the refund you
will get.
Here is check list of some of
these things. Watch for later
columns in this newspaper. They
will cover these and other items
more fully.
Bad Debts: Be sure you can
prove they are bad this year
and claim the deduction.
Capital Losses: If you have
stock market losses, sell this year
10 take the loss. Warning-do not
repurchase the same or similar
stock until at least 81 days after
the sale.
Contributions: Pay them to
secure the deduction this year.
A pledge is no good, They must
be paid. You can take up to 800
in some circumstances.
Dependents: Be sure you can
claim them. If you are not pro-
viding over one-half the cost of
support, see if you can make an
agreement with the others who
are helping with the support.
Alimony: Separation pay
mems may be deducted by the
husband and included by the
wife You may want to catch up
on these payments this year.
If your spouse died in 1855 or
1856 chances are you filed a joint
| return with her for that year.
| You can compute your tax as
though you were filing a joint
return for 1857 if you have not
remarked and if you have de-
pendent child or stepchild. You
may want to recheck your de-
pendency credits on this.
Sales of your business equip
ment and business buildings: If
you have a loss from such a
sale you can carry the loss back
for two years and forward for
| five years, or until it is offset
by earnings. If you have a loss
hat you must take, go ahead
and sell this year. You can take
the loss against 1855 and 1856
income, and if that doesn't cover
it all, you can carry it forward

trapped in another war is de-
ceiving you. There is no ma
ton in the World-including
Russia-Which wants to attack
us. If we do get in another
war it will be because, as usual
our politicians, for some rea-
son, will drag us into it. We
have a soldier in the White
House. He is a President who
has little or no understand

in the present year.

from your pocket into the
hands of the politicians. Here
is one item of II billion dol

billion is just to pay the in

an amount four times great

osevelt's first year in Wash

ended, Harry Truman was
President of the United States.
He was no spending piker.
Though peace had come, there
was an immense collection of
war bills to be paid here and
all over the world. These came
to "a billion dollars. Now

What's The Spending For?
BY John L. Flynn

We are arrived at the time
when our President and Con-
gress must sit down to the
dreary job of budget-making
for the new fiscal year. This
time last year we were treated
to a lot of talk from our Wash
ington gov ernm e mt about
something called economy in
government" After that the
President came up with the
greatest peace-time budget in
our his ory. Now it is time TO
face this troublesome prob
lem once more-the budget for
1859. And there is every evil
dence that this budget may
wind uip larger than the last.
Now what is all this spend
ing for? 1t cannot possibly be
intended to insure our safety
in the event of another war.

denunciations. Following that, the AP
reports, a unanimous vote was given to

boosts, shorter work week and fringe bene-
fit improvements their 1858 collective bar

We have yet to see what the fruits of
this policy will be- But one thing is sure
labor can be priced out of the market, with
soaring unemployment as the result, just
as surely as can industrialists. Will the labor
bosses have to learn the hard way that
buyers of product or a days work can't
be forced to consume or employ beyond their
ability to pay?
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-01-02

The NATIONAL Association of Manufac-
turers recently held a convention in New
York. According to Wall Street Journal
report of the proceedings, Most of the
nations industrialists seem to be planning
to hold a damper on their prices next year"
Some are seeking ways to lower prices, or
to offer more for the same price. This isn't
because industrialists are any more public
spirited than the rest of US 1t is because
danger signs have appeared in the form
of consumer resistance and tougher competi-
ton. In other words, producers don't want
to be priced out of the market.
The AFL-CIO big union held its conven-
ton in Atlantic City at about the same time
proposal from one delegate that labor

at 40 billion dollars-a sub
Stan+ial increase over last year.
And how is this money to be
spent? We have military or
ganizations all over creation
in over go countries. What for?
What could be palmer than
this-that no ma ter where
and in what part of the world
war breaks out, we will be in
it. In that case, there is only
one thing for us to do. That
would be to withdraw our
forces before they are trapped
in a skirmish, then a battle
and then a war. This being SO,
Is it not the counsel of wis
dom to take these soldiers out
now before the fighting starts?
Millions Of people came to
this country to get away from
the endless curse Of war. Yet
here we are in America, trap
ped in a national policy which
ensures our involvement in
some foreign war no matter
where it ekplodes. Early in our
history, President James Mon
roe proposed what came to be
known as the Monroe Doc
trine." This proclaimed that
no further intrusion-either
by policy or invasion or colon
ization-would be tolerated on
the soil of the Western Hem
isphere. Yet here we are not
only telling the nations of
Europe and Africa and Asia
what they should or should
not do in their own continents;
but We have actually parked
regiments and divisions of our
armies on the soil of some
sixty nations all over the
world.
This, of course, has resulted
in bringing to our shores that
hateful system Of militarism
which millions of Europeans
escaped to avoid. For $50 years
mili'arism in Europe has beer
not merely the instrument OF
disorder and the seed of war
but it has been a politlca
boondoggle by which million:
of young men were literally
imprisoned in these various ar
mics, while the rest of the pop
ulation was loaded with deb
and taxes to pay the bills o
the soldiers and to finance tn
production Of the weapons
For long decades militarisn
has been used by foreigl
statesmen and manufacturer
as a means of creating Jobs TO
workers and profits for procu
GERS and glory for the admiral
and generals. We have bee
foolish enough to initiate thi
accursed system. 1t has pois
oned our political and ecc
nomic life and has now bun
dened us with a debt of q
billion dollars which we ca
never pay.
