MOSCOW. July 25.-In a
fantastic day in which I
stepped on Gen. Klementi
Voroshilov's foot and shook
hands vigorously with Nikita
Khrushchev, who seemingly
thought I was one of Vice
President Nixon's staff, I
listened in on the summit
conference in the kitchen.
1t was all unexpected.
There was the average
American house. At the
American exposition, the
kitchen is in yellow. At the
clothes dryer and washer the
hundred or so who had been
admitted stood while the Vice
President discussed the house
and its costs.
In no time at all, he and
Mr.. Khrushchev were off on
economics. rockets and wom-
en-, which revealed that Mr..
Khrushchev reads or is
thoroughly briefed on Ameri-
can news.
Totally Unexpected
The kitchen conference was
totally unexpected. 1t fol-
lowed by a half-hour a tele-
vised impromptu debate in
the exposition'S television ex-
hibit. Because of poor trans
lation and a desire to be po-
lite, Mr.. Nixon had suffered
in comparison to Premier
Khrushchev, who has a genius
and personality for domi-
mating scenes. But in the
kitchen. which is the best
place in any house to talk,
the Vice President did a fine
give-and-take job. Mr.. Khru-
shchev admired the kitchen,
but he said new Russian fats
had everything like it save
the washer-dryer.
Your press has been say
ing Russians will be dumb
founded by the things they
see here" he said. They will
not"
He and Mr.. Nixon argued

union leaders were stepping up
pressure to soften the bill.
The clash grew increasingly
bitter. Both sides see 1859 as
the crucial year for labor legis-
lation. Business groups believe
this may be their last chance
to correct what they consider
a pro-labor imbalance in Fed
eral law. UnioniStS fear their
enemies are trying to sap the
strength of the labor move
ment.
Urge Back Home Support.
At special meeting here
yesterday, the Chambers labor
relations committee ordered
the staff to give wide distribu-
ton to statements urging strict
legislation.
The statements urge business
men to write their Congress-
men demanding major amend
ments of the House committee
bill during floor debate, which
probably will start in two or
three weeks.
Strong backbone support
of these efforts (to strengthen
the committee bilD may well

gressmen to face up to the

a Labor Relations Letter" is
sued yesterday.
In addition to the specific
pleas for pressure, a Chamber
official said, each statement and
brochure contains this implied
warning:

boys, you better get on the stick
and write your Congressman"
Lists Bills Deficiencies"
He reported that 20 of the
labor relations committees SO
members came here for yester-
days special meeting. The
committee, he continued, en-
phasized these deficiencies" in
the committee bill: Lack of re-
strlctlonS against secondary
boycottS; inadequate curbs on
organizational picketing, and
failure to bar all use of union
dues in political activity.
But this official said the
Chambers committee decided
employers could live with" the
bills requirements for financial
reports to the Secretary of
Labor. The Chamber and other
business groups have been OBJ
jecting to several of the pro-
posalS for reports by employers.

Chambers general counsel, is

Great Crowds Greet
Queen on Prairie Tour

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, July
rs (AP). - The welcome to
Queen Elizabeth II has been
growing like a prairie fire as
she crossed the grain and oil
belt of Canada on her royal
tour.
Nearly half the 100000 pop
ulation of greater Winnipeg
lined streets and filled parks
yesterday to see the Queen,
who looked as fresh as at any
time during the tour which be-
gan June 10.
The queen and her husband,
Prince Philip, were flying to
Sudbury, Ont. today for a
3l2-hour call, and then
planned to hop to the Royal
Canadian Air Force station at
Trenton, Ont. From there they
will drive to Port Hope, Ont,
for a long week end with Gov
ernor General Vincent Mas
sey at his summer home. Tues
day, the royal party will begin
a four-day visit to the Mari
time Provinces before leaving
for home by Comet w jetliner
on Saturday.
Wild Turnout
AS the Queen whistle-stopped
across the prairieS, crowds in
small communities were as
much as 10 times the normal
population.
At Saskatoon, Sask., the
Queen saw a smoking, kissing
parade of ancient steam trac-
tors which busted the prairie
sod for grain between 1889 anC

SOCIALISM - NORWEGIAN

has been fighting valiantly over
a period of years to stem the
tide toward specialization of the

its stockholders, the General
Electric Company points out that
inflationary forces have reduced
the purchasing power of the
dollar to less than half its value
in 20 years and that two of these
should be of particular interest

l. Government expenditure
policies that tend to exceed the
country's tax-collecting ability
and result in deficit financing
and increase in money supply;
and
2. The monopoly power of
labor unions in major areas of
the economy to force unrealistic-
ally high wage commitments
which must be accommodated by
further initiation;
Then General Electric advises
that share owners can help fight
initiation by marshalling public
support for sound legislative and
administration measures by in

Moderation of government
spending so that taxes will be
sufficient to avoid further de-
ficits that must be accommodate

This advice by General Electric
to its stockholders can be applied
likewise to stockholders of all
companies. Acting collectively,
stockholders can put the brakes

ALL PERFECTLY LEGAL.

The other day, in Los Angeles,
the muscle of government, full
panoplied with police evicted
several loW-income families from
their homes-bodily and forcibly.
Back in 1851 the City Housing
Authority had condemned their
private residences and deposited
a court-determined price to their
account. The property was sup
posed to be for a housing pro-
ject; instead, it's to be used as
a ball park.
At least one of the families
refused to claim the money and
stayed on in their home in pro-
test. Out of the deposited funds
they may now have to pay rent

ernment confiscated the livestock
of Amish farmers for refusal to

MY FAVORITE PRAYER
Honorable Wesley Powell
Governor of the State OF
New Hampshire


Oh, God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come, we
approach Thy throne of grace
today in accordance with what
Thou hast commanded us in Thy
word, to enter into Thy gates
with thanksgiving and into Thy
court with praise.
We ask Thy special blessing
this day upon the Governor of
the State as he assumes his res
possibilities. Grant that Thou
will enable him to resist the
temptations of his office. Give
him the physical and spiritual
strength needed for the unknown
tomorrows. Help him to do those
things himself which he will re-
quire of others.
Grant that the authority of his
example may be greater than
the authority of his office, and
we pray especially that through
out his tour Of duty as Governor
of this State that he may keep
the faith of those who are nearer
and dear to him, and the faith
OF others who believed in him
enough to place him where he is
today, and far above and beyond
all else, faith in God the Creator.
Preserver and Governor of all
things. We ask this in the name
of Jesus. (This prayer was utter

output per hour-this increase
has averaged 18 percent each
decade since 1850.
If we wish to further increase
production per hour during the
next ten years and still further
raise our already highest stand
ard of living, then new and better
tools must be provided during
that decade. To accomplish this,
there must be no impediments
put in the way of the investor,
whose money will provide these
new and better tools. Govern
ment must lend the investor
every encouragement by refrain
ing from hampering regulations
and by easing the tax burden.
More and better jobs, the crea-
ton of more wealth, will only be
possible if industry is permitted
to operate under conditions in
ducive for the investment in
more and better tools.

STEPHEN MI. YOUNG

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which
flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me
pure.
Could my tears forever flow,
Could my zeal no langour
know.
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou
alone.
In my hand no price | bring;
Simply to Thy cross / cling.
While draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in
death,
When | rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy
throne;
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee.

A MAN NEEDS TO BE A MAN

"A sermon, 100, can De news
worthy, especially when the
preacher says the test of an in
stitution, political, economic,
social, or religious, is its sensi-
tivity to individual need. For,
as he read in the story of the
healing in disregard of institu-
tional rules, ''the Sabbath was
made for man :"
This magnificent truth (the
Gospel Of Mark, chapter 2 and
81 has often been twisted into the
gospel of Marx: From each ac-
cording to his ability, to each
according to his need" There is
today a rash of taking from one
to meet the needs of another
the material needs
But look at the rest of a man.
More than bread, he needs a
sense of his own significance, an
incentive to grow in both goods
and the good. He needs the self
respect OF making his own way,
enjoying the fruits of his own
labor, the freedom of his own
decisions. His dignity lies in
independence; his duty, in con-
sulting uncoerced conscience.
He needs to know himself as
a child of God, responsible to
God and fellow man, not because
he is told to, but because he
chooses. A mans biggest need is
to be a man.
In no way can Marxism or its
polite variations compel the full
filment of these, from each
according to ability, to each ac-
cording to need" And to force
the fulfilment of material need
is to renounce and ruin the rest.
"Sensitivity to individual need"
can have meaning only where
men are free!

ENGLAND CUTS TAXES

England is setting a brilliant
example of how to retreat from
Socialism, something that many
experts predicted she would
never be able to do. The Socialist
camel that got its nose into Bri-
tain's economic tent is being
pushed back. This, verify, is q
twist
The United Kingdom has been
freeing its markets and reform
ing income tax rates. These meas
ures have served to invigorate
the dwindling interest of the
British workman in work and
progress.
The 81 billion tax reduction
announced in April this year
makes the third cut in income
taxes that England has given its
sorely-harassed taxpayers since
1853.
Has the British Exchequer
suffered as a result of these cuts?
No, On the contrary, the stimu-
lus that these tax cuts have given
the British economy has resulted
in a greatly increased tax
revenue. For the next fiscal
year, it is estimated tax revenues
will be $5,325 million-20 per-
cent above their level in 1852.
Thus, the British Government
has proved that creative tax
policies can build tax revenues
while the same time goad its
people to renewed vigor and
initiative.
The Congress of the u. S. A.
should take good look at this
British picture. There's an i'm
portant lesson for our Washing
ton legislators to be learned from
this British retreat from Social
ism.

T. STATES HOME RULE

"The Federal Government has
no power whatever under the
Constitution over the conduct OF
public utilities, of banks, or in
surance, of business, of agricul-
ture, of education, of social wei
fare, and of dozen other inn
portant features. In these Wash
ington must not be encouraged to
interfere"
THE preservation of home rule
by the States is not a cry of
Jealous Commonwealths seeking
their own aggrandizement at the
expense of sister states. 1t is a
fundamental necessity if we are
to remain a truly united coun-
try"
Who made those statements?
Both were uttered by the same
man in radio speech to the
American people on March 2,
l93O-by Franklin Delano Ro-
osevelt, at that time Governor
of New York.
Seems unbelievable doesn't it?
When he became president he
started the Federal Government
into the conducting of public
utilities, of banks, of insurance,
cf business, of agriculture, of
education, of social welfare and
of a dozen other important fea-
lures.
Also, the former governor, an
ardent advocate Of states rights
while at Albany, when he moved
into the White House, more than
any other president, before or
since, did his utmost to destroy
the home rule of the states,
which he had proclaimed sis a
fundamental necessity if we are
to remain a truly united coun-
try"
For 26 years now the Southern
wing of the Democrat Party has
witnessed the spectacle Of its
Northern wing destroying the
home rule of the states. One
wonders just how much longer
Southern Democrats will con-
tinue to put up with this invas-
ion of states rights.

PEACE WITH A HOOK?

Beginning in June, a gigantic
"peace drive" costing $35,0G0,000
in manpower alone, will be
launched among Prot e s n
churches, coordinated with a SIM
liar drive in our colleges. The
sponsoring group is the National
Council of Churches Department
of International Affairs - the
same that called last November's
meeting at Cleveland, where
religious leaders urged u. S.
recognition of Red China and
her admission to the u. N.
In the name of Christian con-
Germ, there will be a barrage of
propaganda for social and poll
tical action in behalf of peace.
The motive is worthy, for the
need for peace is compelling, and
must certainly engage the
thoughts and prayers of all who
follow the Prince Of Peace.
But on what terms? BY leaving
people of good will mentally and
militarily disarmed while com
munists continue their march of
conquest? BY reducing the de
gree to which our way of life
differs from theirs? By admitting
oppressors to the halls of respect
ability while the oppressed re-
main voiceless and appalled,? By
selling freedom for peace at
any price?

Evil Of Unwise Cultivation
Emerqe from Ohio TESTS

Each pass the farmer makes
with his tillage equipment this
spring may squeeze that much
more money out of his pocket
book this fall.
The evils and foolhardiness OF
overworking corn land, especi-
ally when wet, is clearly pointed
out by an Ohio Agricultural eX-
pertinent station project.
At the Northwestern Substa-
ton in Wood county corn fields
packed with a wheel tractor
when soil moisture was high
yielded only 66 bushels per acre.
The same land packed with the
same tractor after the ground
had lost some 6 to percent mois-
ture produced go bushels. DR..
D. M. VanDoren Jr. of the de-
partment of agronomy, says this
difference points out the danger
of working land that is a little
too wet.
When caterplller tractor was
used on wet land in place of
wheel tractor, yield rose from
&c to 112 bushels. This indicates,
VanDoren explains, that equip
ment can be operated on wet land
without bad effects so long as
the load on the soil is not too
great. The wheel tractor exerts
40 pounds per square inch where
as the "cat" exerts only four
pounds.
The effect of soil compaction
on the corn plants was easy to
see throughout the growing sea
son. On the area packed hard,
the stalks were slim and light
green, appearing to have been
drowned. The loosely packed soil
bore stalks that were stout and
dark green.

Many vote, but few, no doubt,
have served as precinct officials
or realize the caution and detail
which surround the counting of
their votes.
When the polls close at $50
election day, the precinct officials
begin to count and tabulate the
votes cast for each candidate and
for and against each question or
issue. If voters are waiting in
line at the polling place at $50
they are permitted to vote.
Before the actual tabulation is
begun, they must account for all
voted and soiled, defaced or un-
used ballots TO be certain they
have no more or fewer ballots
than the number delivered to the
polling place by the Board
The election statutes set forth
in detail how the counting and
tallying must be done. One of the
judges takes a ballot and reads
aloud the names of the candidates
voted for and the vote on any
questions or issues that were sub
mitted. A clerk of the opposite
political party then makes tally
marks for each vote read aloud
on work sheets provided by the
Board of Elections. A judge of
the same political party as the
clerk verifies the votes SO read
and tailed. This same procedure
is followed until all the ballots
have been counted. The presid-
ing judge then examines the
work sheets; signs them and in
serts the total vote for each can
didate and issue in each poll
book, the official record of the
election in that precinct.
