II better TO urge, that the
power to negotiate be dele
gated so that governments
may deal with each other

hover has the opportunity to
put the accent on free gov

cept the whims and wiles Of
a dictator as the only course
open today.
Nor is the cause Of peace
advanced by readiness to ac-
cept not merely weeks Of
useless negotiations such as
have been taking place at
Geneva but years Of frequent
summit meetings at which
the heads Of free governments
are to be given the run
around.
The United States. as the
leader Of the free world and
as the champion Of repre-
sentative government, should
instead be appealing to the
people Of the Soviet Union
to send q delegation that
truly represents their wishes.
For one man is not the mas
ter Of 200 million people and
should never be recognized
as such. AS long as his die
tatorship is accepted as in
evitable and immutable, the
prestige Of free governments
is bound to diminish and the
cause Of representative gov
eminent is in the long run
correspondingly injured in
the eyes Of freedom-loving
peoples everywhere.

The Soviet game is plain
to see. Why should they make
any concessions II the West

threat by the Kremlin to
drive the Western allies out

set up q hostile situation with
potential threats against the
free countries in Southern
Europe. That's the true
meaning Of his trip to Al
bania, defiantly undertaken
even while the Geneva con-
ference was in session.
Mr.. Eisenhower told his
press conference on We'd
nesday that results thus far
at Geneva do not justify a

Widow Of PoIitz
To Get Bulk of
100000 Estate

Jack POLITE. attorney, who
died May IS at his home, 1861
Locust road NV, left a net
estate estimated at more than
$3.50, 900.
A petition for probate Of his
will, witnessed and executed in
1910. has been filed in the Reg
lister Of Wills office at District
Court.
Under terms Of the will, his
widow, Mrs. Helen s. POLITE of
the home address, is to receive
the bulk Of the estate.
The petition for probate, filed
by attorney Jacob N. Halper,
states that Mr.. Politz had at
some time attempted to make
changes in the typewriter will
by writing in longhand the
words revoked" and "can-
celled" over certain portions Of
1t.
The petition contends the at
tempted changes are Of mo
legal effect" The petition says
the changes were not in the will
at the time 1t was witnessed
and executed and that the will
was not re-executed or again
witnessed after the attempted
changes. The petition asks that
the will be admitted to probate.
Portions of the will over
which the words revoked and
cancelled are written and other
attempted changes deal with
minor requests TO Mr.. Politz'
three brothers, one Of whom
has since died.
Mr.. Politz. who was so, had
practiced law here about 80

little known but immensely
influential member Of Con-
gress. is about to tackle the
Gordian knot of United
States income tax laws.
Success in revising them
fairly and realistically would
automatically make him one
Of the great public servants
OF his generation. Failure
would leave us in the present
mess Of inequities for perhaps
another decade.
Mr.. Mills, as chairman Of
the tax-writing House Ways
and Means Committee, holds
a position Of almost unique
power in the Congress. Only
the House Of Representatives
can initiate tax legislation
under the Constitution. As
chairman Of Ways and
Means, Mr.. Mills has the
single most decisive voice in
determining tax policy.
Early in November, Chair
man Mills and his committee
will begin a detailed study Of
the entire Federal income tax
structure. 1t may be a boring
performance for press and
public. 1t will lack PERSONAL
tiles and immediate drama.
Yet its results one way or
another will greatly affect
every citizen and, most espe-
cially, every business enter
prise.

enormously because of pres
