Mr.. Eisenhower, speaking be-

senior citizens are especially
hurt by imitation. He told the

can help fight imitation is by

AS for the older population,
he added. Imitation is not
merely q threat-it is q robber
and q thief" He pointed out
that the aged live largely on
fixed retirement income such
as pensions, insurance policies
and savings.
Urging q balanced Federal
budget, he said the medical
profession. as much as any
other. has q vital interest in
preventing imitation"
He added: Certainly 1t

people can reasonably pay"
It was his second appeal in

It is the added impetus, the genuine love and devotion,
the letting down Of the roots that seem to make the diff

and daughters who fall in love with, and want to let
down their buckets where they are.
EFFORT or this administration to start

John, there are a few prob
lens connected with the ques-
tions you've asked me. First, I'm
not at all sure I know how to go
about inserting factual matter
into the piece I've written. An
other thing is the fact that I have
a tendency to get angry when !
try to write about the situation
as it really is. Generally speak
ing, I stay angry about some-
thing, but in this case it might
very well leave the impression
that l think someone owes me
something, which, of course, they
don't, damn 'em. Another prob
lem is the fact that I have a hell
of an ego and I hesitate to quote
myself for fear of leaving bad
taste. / do the best I can to cover
up the existence of an over active
ego.
This brings me to request, an
imposition, I suppose. Would you
let me supply you with the an
swers to your questions, and
while you're cutting the article
would you insert what you feel
is necessary wherever you see
fit? I would besmost grateful if
you'd do that. If there is any

All of us like your piece, but
we think that just a little more
work can make it a good deal
better. What it needs more, it
seems to me, are a few brief in
serts to answer questions which
are sure to rise in the readers
minds. For example, they will
wonder where you came from,
what you did before you bought
The Petal Paper, what your pres
ent situation is, and what plans
Cif any, you have for the future.
The manuscript gives the impress
sion that the paper already had
folded, or at least may fold any
minute, since you say you have
neither subscribers nor adver-
Using. Is this literally true? If
so, how do you keep going?
What reaction have you had
from the Negroes in the cornmu-
nifty? Have they given you any
support either financial or
moral?
How are the members of your
family taking this situation?
Your suggestion that we re-
produce the ad is good one,
and 1 think we can handle it
without any serious technical
difficulty. If you could work in
a few more brief quotations from
the editorial columns of the pa
per, they might help give tn e
reader a little better idea of its
character. land yours.
I'm. holding your original man
uscript here, on the. assumption
that you have asscarbon and, if
you agree with my suggestions,
that you can take care of them
by sending me inserts or revised
pages. If this is wrong, let me
know and I'll send my copy of
the manuscript back.
|. incidentally, some Of the edi-
tors felt that in one or two pas
sages a little cutting might be
indicated, to eliminate over
writing Or an occasional too
corny phrase; if you have no OBJ
lection, we could take care of
that chore here--without, I trust,
drawing too-much blood.
Congratulations on a nice piece
of work. I hope our comments
don't strike you as altogether I'M
reasonable.
Best regards,

Simon and Schuster, 255 pp.,
1895.
! Herblock's best when caught
in the act of pricking bureaucra-
tie bubbleheads or unsettEng the
sanctimonious. There's no place
like a newspaper fairly hot off
the presses for displaying the
work of a newspaper cartoonist.
Every days distance between the
event and the cartoon that came
out of it saps the cartoon of some
of it's flavor and Sharpness.
But who wants to be a nitpick-
er? If the loss of immediacy is a
problem for the reader of this
book, it isn't much of a problem.
For with 3O,O0O-word text Her
block does an excellent job of
Suggesting for the 430 cartoons
covering the behavior of poll
ticians (mostly U. 81 at home,
abroad and in the air during the

cartoon of a deepfreeze stocked
with ssfrozen attitudes, frozen
platitudes and Fosters frosted,
fruitless policies" Herblock re-
marks in text on a well known
diplomat who 'skeeps going at a
great clip and has frequently
travelled tremendous distances to
sit tight"
1t all comes back, you see. The
juices bubble, the tension rises,
the page turns and ZOWIE! Her
block has nailed 'em again.
If this is a partisan reaction,
the book is a 255-page parade of
partisan reactions. But the only
unfair thing about it is the pub
lisher's blurb suggesting the
book twill be relished by all
connoisseurs of pointed words
and pictures, whether or not they
share the authors point of view"
Come now, Messrs. Simmon and
Schuster. This is hardly the sort
of surprise package sympathiz-
ers should send to members of
the numerous and still growing
band of ENDORSED Crusaders.
Herblock has been something
less than enthusiastic about the
conduct of the federal govern
ment these last few years. Some
times in anger, always with
