Speaker
Advocates


LOCALIZED lotteries to help
meet mounting State taxes were
advocated last week by Mrs.
Ruth Adler associate Of Jones,
Kreeger & Co., stockholders.
Speaking at a State fiscal policy
meeting of county branches of
the American Association Of
University Women, Mrs. Adler
declared that local churches and
organizations alrea dy use
raffles and bingo games to raise
funds.
She pointed to the scandal
free, honest" Irish sweepstakes
as good example of how gov
eminent can successfully oper.
ate a stable lottery. 1t is in
teresting to note, she said, that
the entire revenue from the
Irish sweepstakes is used for
public welfare.
Another suggestion made by
Mrs. Adler to meet rising exs
penses is issuance Of tax-free
municipal bonds in 500 denom
nations rather than only $1,000
denominations. The lower
figure, she said, would appeal to
a broader number Of people.

Throw Off the Clock Of Pessimism"
Throw Off
COP Must Stop Cryinq Blues
BY Betty Ruth McDevitt
Staff Reporter


Republicans are in very
great danger of becoming a
permanent minority party" UNI
less they knuckle down and
solve the political problem con-
fronting them. Rep. Jessica Nc
Cullough Weiss Urn. " told
the Montgomery County Fedora
ton of Republican Women's
Clubs at its Both annual meet
ing at Manor Country Club last
week.
Rep. Weiss, a forceful speaker
with a striking personality,
spared no words telling the $50
members and guests what is
wrong with the Republican
Party,
"The plain fact of the matter
u.s." she declared, I'VE were
simply outmanned, outworked,
out-talked, outmaneuvered and

financed in 1858 and we cannot
logically expect the opposition
to be weaker in 1860" To be
successful the COP must be a
great deal stronger, she said.
The women were told to
throw off the cloak of pessi-
mism to win in 1860. There's
nothing can stop a woman If
she's mad enough and works
hard enough" the speaker pre-
dicted.
"If we face up to facts we'll
be in a different fighting spirit
for the party - the Democrats
have IT," she continued.
Points she suggested the Re-
publicans must carry out are:
. Cut away frills from Re-
publican philosophy, get down
to solid bed rock principles;
make a greater effort to show
people exactly how these prin-
ciples relate to happiness, the
welfare and freedom Of every
American.
. Launch a fearless and con-
slant attack on the inflationary
"big government" philosophy
that she said, is motivating a
great majority Of the opposition.
. Make better use Of regular
party workers by providing
them with "solid, sensible and
compelling reasons for putting
forth more effort"
Actively recruit new member.
ship and leadership. I'VE need
new blood. The party has a
great deal to offer both to the
youth as we'll as older citizens.
Ever increasing government
spending which the Democrats
seem little interested in control
ling are threats to young and
old, she stated.

Anchorage Eye Bank Is Lauded by Presidents Wife

WASHINGTON, R - Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower last week congratulated the eye bank in Anchorage on being the first such organization in the new state.
 The bank is becoming the 14th affiliate with the parent organiza- tion in New York City.
 The Presidents wife gave Sec retary of the Interior Seaton letter of appreciation to be sent to the Anchorage bank. She posed for photographs at the White House with Seaton and 13-year- old Richard Bello of Glen Oaks, Queens, N. Y., who had a corneal transplant made possible through a donated eye provided by the National Eye Bank.
 Mrs. Eisenhower is a member of the Council of the Eye Bank of Sight Restoration Inc, now cele- brating it's 18th anniversary.
 Mrs. Carl Competello, executive director of the organization, said approximately 3O,OOO persons in the United States are waiting for the day when the eye bank supply will make it possible for them to have their sight restored.

U. $. Titan Is First In New Series of
 Missile Launchings
By JACK KING

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, R - The United States has launched it's second generation missile pro- gram with the debut of the power full Titan.
 The new rocket, shaped like huge bullet, performed smoothly on 220-mile limited range flight Friday after failing to fly on two previous attempts. The Air Force said the launching was highly successful.
 After its brief flight, the Titan fell into the Atlantic.
 The blastoff of the interconti- mental range ballistic missile sig naled the start of an accelerated drive to produce advanced missiles superior to the present weapons in the U. s. arsenal.
 Titan was developed as a follow series to the present Atlas which already has logged a 412-ton or biting satellite and one triumph over intercontinental range.
 Some estimates place the Titan range capability at 5000 miles.
 In comparison, the Atlas has a range of $500 miles.
 Still to come is the solid fuel Minuteman ICBM and various other so-called sophisticated mis- siles which the experts say will help close the gap with the So- viets in the space race.
 The Titan's backblast shattered several remote controlled tracing cameras near the launching pad.
 The gold-tinted rocket weighs 10 tons. The range was short and the mission basic on this first test flight. As soon as the missile left the launcher, 90 per cent of the test objectives were accomplished, it was learned.

A little later in the warm

My formula even applies to
