win in 1860, this is an important
development for the Vice Presi-
dent. Nixon's foes have often said
that the polls proved that he could
not win win the 1860 Presidential
election.
Now Nixon's supporters are
heartened by the fact that he is
not only in the favored position
by office and connections and ex-
perience, but he also has a claim
as the strongest candidate in the
poll parade. Unless this changes,
prior to Convention time next

WORLDS FAIR FOR 19642
New York, Washington and Los
Angeles are currently considering
staging a Worlds Fair several
years hence. New York proposes
to stage a Worlds Fair in 1864.
If this is done, this will mean
that New York will open a Worlds
Fair exactly twenty-five years from
the last Worlds Fair in that city
which was held in 1889. This
Fair, ironically, was held on the
eve of World War II, and the dark
ening clouds of war somewhat
overshadowed me hopes and ideals
which were the theme of that
memorable Fair.
Since Washington and Los An
geles have not held Worlds Fairs,
those proposing such an event for
these cities contend they should
be given primary consideration.
The vying for q site mainly con-
Germs Congressional resolutions.
There are those who conscien-
tiously question the value of a
Worlds Fair. OF course, the Fair
proposed for New York-and for
the other cities-would not be f.
nanced by the u. S. Treasury. The
United States would certainly en-
ter an exhibition, but il would not
be federal project, other than
that. Therefore, the taxpayer need
not worry too greatly over the
question of a Worlds Fair in the
United States.

been in Europe only two weeks;
but / am astonished at the trend
everywhere toward more social
equality.

exceptions to the general price rise

lists here refer to "sun rays, they

These trends necessarily imply the
birth of countless new industries.

leaders of the coming era. Some of

OCTOBER MEMORIES

Knowing the past events and histories
of the various days is interesting and some
times helpful. October's days, which include
Columbus Day and Halloween, are filled with
historic memories for Americans.
The 5th is the anniversary of the birth
of Chester Arthur, twenty-first President
from Vermont. The 9Th is German Day =
commemorating the first German settlement
in America.
The 7th is the birthday anniversary of
James Whitcomb Riley, of Greenfield In
diana (1853). John Clarke, one of the found
ers of Rhode Island, was born on the 9th
(1609) in England. The Great Chicago fire
occurred on the 9th-in 1871.
The 9th is also the day observed as that
on which Lief Erickson discovered North
America, about 1000 A. d. On the 10th, in
1845, the u. S. Naval Academy was opened.
The 18th is Pulaski Day and also observed as
Y.MC.A. Founders Day.

GOVERNMENT BY BLACKMAIL

The Associated Press recently carried
an astonishing - ominously astonishing -
news dispatch from southern CITY,
1t told of an REA coop whose manager
had instructed its purchasing agent not to
buy anything from any firm or any person
in the Congressional district involved. And
the reason for that was that the Congress-
man who represented the district had voted
to uphold the Presidents veto of bill which
would have freed the REA from certain
controls now exerted by the Secretary of
Agriculture
The merits or demerits of the vetoed bill
are not the issue here. What is at issue is
an attitude of mind. If a government-sup-
ported agency-which an REA coop is
can boycott the sellers of goods of whole
area because its manager doesn't like a
Congressman's vote, we are entering into
a period of what can only be described as
an attempt at government by blackmail. The
same kind of tactics could be used to in
fiuence the vote on anything-ta foreign
aid, the national defense, and so on down
the long line. The mind reels at what that
could do to this nation.

NOT ENOUGH RICH PEOPLE

Congressman Mills, of Arkansas, who is
chairman of the all-important House Ways
and Means Committee through which all tax
legislation must pass, has announced an ex-
haustive study of the present tax structure
with the objective of reducing rates without
sacrificing revenues. First step will be an
intensive inquiry into the Federal income
tax. Possibilities of broadening the base
enough to permit real reductions in indi-
vidual and corporate income taxes will be
investigated. It is hoped that legislation will
be ready for the consideration of the second
session of this Congress.
There is plenty of room for honest diff
erences of opinion over specific, detailed
provisions of the tax laws. But it's hard to
see how anyone can logically argue against
a thorough overhaul of tax policy. In the
upper individual and corporate tax brackets
the rates reach an extortionate level They
thus prevent investment and industrial de-
velopment-the kind of investment and de-
velopment that is urgently needed if good
jobs for our soaring work force are to be
provided.
Moreover, the hard facts have proven
that we can't support the government by
the old expedient of soaking the rich. The
biggest part, by far, of federal revenues
comes from the basic income tax rate of
209o. Only small part comes from the pro-
gressive rates, even though they reach a
staggering 9190. There just aren't enough
rich people.

WALK SAFELY AND LIVE

The number of highway accidents that
take the lives of Americans constitutes some
thing of reproach both to drivers of auto
mobiles and to those who walk along the
highways.
A surprising number of pedestrians are
killed by automobiles, and upon many occa-
sions, the driver of the motor vehicle is not
to blame Pedestrians can adopt proper prac-
tices for their own protection, and it might
be good idea for those who use the high
ways on foot to remember the following
rules:
ID Carry or wear something white at
night-this will help the drivers of motor
vehicles to see you. Remember that, very Of
ten, when two cars approach at night, the
vision of the drivers is affected by the lights.
(2) In municipal and suburban areas,
cross the highway only ct crosswalks, and,
when using highway in the rural area, look
carefully for speeding cars before getting
into the road. Moreover, watch traffic sig
mails, especially lights, and look twice both
ways before crossing.
Another rule which may save your life,
is not to go into the highway from between
parked cars This is the cause of numerous
accidents, particularly in urban areas, when
pedestrians attempt to cross streets in the
middle of the block
For those travelling the rural highways,
where there is no sidewalk, it is wise to
walk on the left side, facing the oncoming
traffic.
These rules have been given considerable
publicity, but because people are prone to for
get them and sometimes inadvertently vio-
late them, we give space for their re-publi-
cation.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

More ard more people-and with every
reason-have come to believe that one trouble
with this country's educational systems is
that too much money is spent on unneces-
sary luxuries and frills, at the expense of ed
ucational necessities.
In the light of this, something that hap
pened short time ago at Portland State
College in Portland, Oregon, has much more
than local significance
1t is proposed that certain additions be
made to the College Center-among them
a bowling alley and barber shop. But the
students own College Center Board voted
the plan down by to l majority.
In part, the Boards resolution read: /" :.
facilities for student entertainment and per-
sonal services are in abundance in the Port
land Metropolitan Area, thereby making it
unnecessary and even wastefu for large
amounts of state and student funds to be
spent in these areas of the college. The
students of Portland State are more interest
ed in education than in services"
Community after community, the small
as well as the large, have gone overheard
in building almost unbeievably expensive
plants. The primary educational need is to
allocate as much of the available money as
possible to purposes where it will honestly
serve true educational ends-such as salary
structures that will make teaching more at
tractive to competent and ambitious people

WHO is HANDICAPPED? :?

Almost everyone used to regard employ
ing the handicapped as a kind of charity.
The man who gave jobs to workers suffering
from some sort of physical disadvantage was
generally looked upon as good-hearted fel-
low willing to assist others at some cost to
himself.
The heart has its reasons. But so has the
brain. And the brain, pudging on the basis of
experience, now informs us that employing
the handicapped is lot closer to good busi-
ness than it is to charity.
The well-attested fact is that handicapp-
ed persons very often turn out to be excep-
tionally able. This is true partly because
most of them undergo rigorous training be-
fore seeking jobs. Their skills are thorough
ly learned, and they are inclined to make
the best possible use of them.
The handicapped persons incentive to do
well on the job is frequently greater than
that of the non-handicapped worker. Absen-
teeism is comparatively rare among the
handicapped. They are steady workers, for the
most part; they are on their mettle to pro-
duce as much as other employees. Often, they
produce more.
Despite all this, numerous employers still
shy away from hiring those who are handi-
capped And that raises a question. Who is
truly handicapped, the man who suffers a
physical disability that does not interfere
with his work, or the employer who suffers
from misconceptions which keep him from
hiring such man?

Speaker Rayburn's opposition
to a proposed House ban on
money bills that bypass the
Appropriations Committee was
regarded today as taking most
of the steam out Of the issue at
this session Of Congress.
But it did not prevent the
question from coming up in the
Senate. Nor did 1t stop House
Rules Committee Chairman
Smith, Democrat of Virginia,
from arranging more hearings
tomorrow on his resolution to
write such a ban into House
rules.
The Senate Rules Committee
received a similar resolution
from Senator Thurmond. Dem
ocrat Of South Carolina. 1t at
tracted more than usual atten-
ton because of complaints at
the House committee hearing
yesterday and last Monday that
bills authorizing OUTLAWS OF
more than $9.1 billion came
mainly out of Senate commit
tees last year, without being
submitted to the Senate OF
House Appropriations Com
mittees.
The Thurmond bill provides
that any Senate bill authoriz-
ing direct borrowings from the
Treasury or permitting Federal
agencies to commit funds woulc
first have to be approved by the
Senate Finance Committee.
The Smith bill deals similarly
with House bills which, in the
opinion of Mr.. Smith and most

tailed reasons, but he indicated
that the congressional practice
it seeks to prevent has been in
operation for many years and
apparently is widely accepted.
Senator Thurmond, in intro
ducing his bill, called the SEN
ate's attention to the consti-
tutional requirement that no
money shall be drawn from the
Treasury but in consequence
of appropriations made by law"
1--WE are surely violating the
spirit and probably the letter
Of this clause of the Constitu-
tion," he declared. I'VE are
allowing money that has never
been appropriated to be with
drawn from the Treasury.
There are two principal
methods by which our devia-
tions are effectuated. One is
by the authorization of direct
borrowing from the Treasury,
by legislative acts which have
not followed the prescribed
appropriations procedure. The
other is through the use of the
much-utilized contract author
ity or commitment authorize

Heads Of State, Instead of Ministers,
Seen Reds Farley Aim With Dulles III

Prime Minister Khru-
shchev has indicated that he
intends to shift his posi-
ton once more and insist on
a meeting between the heads
Of state Of the Big Four
powers instead Of the plan
ned foreign ministers meet
ing intended by the Western
governments to take place
sometime at the end Of April.
There Is speculation that the
Kremlin feels that President
Eisenhower, without Secre-
tary Dulles at his elbow, may
be more yielding than in the
past. Hence, the time for
another Big Four heads Of
state meeting might be timely
from the Soviet point Of view.
If this speculation is cor
rect, Deputy Prime Minis
ter 'Mikoyan> must be q poor
reporter. There was no rea-
son for him to believe after
his interview with President
Eisenhower that the Chief
Executive has any other
policy in regard to Germany
or any other settlement Of
the East-West conflict than
that of his Secretary Of
State. Despite Mr.. Dulles
experience in the field of for
eign affairs, he has never as
sumed to take a position in
opposition to that of his
chief. What he did do, how
ever. was to sell him the
present American global poll
cies. Those close to the
White House say that re-
gardless of whether the
ailing Secretary remains in
Office or decides of his own
volition to resign, his policies
will continue so long as Mr..
Eisenhower is our Chief Ex-
ecutive.
Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther
has been mentioned as the
most adequate successor to
Mr.. Dulles, not because Mr..
Eisenhower and Gen. Gruen-
ther wear the same school tie
but because, Of all the candi-
dates who would like to sue
coed Mr.. Dulles, the former
NATO supreme commander is
more in agreement with all
the Secretary's policies. Until
the medical specialists give
their verdict, there is no
likelihood that a change
even is contemplated by Mr..
Eisenhower.
But informed quarters are
trying to convey to Moscow
the fact that even the retire.
ment of Mr.. Dulles would
not change our present inter-
national stand. There have
been reports in the last 40
