Portability and loudneSs then has to
be their primary considerations.
AS Khrushchev goes by bands stir
no emotions. They cover silences,
fill empty places, substitute for
emotions not to be sounded.
The magnificent profile Of his
plane as it leveled against the sky
before landing Tuesday contrasted
SO with the profile Of Nikita him
self when he emerged that you
thought of the Terrible Wizard of
o. Known only as a dreadful voice
and name until the screen behind
which he operated fell down, the
Wizard was revealed as a little
squint-eyed, round-bellied, ingrati-
ating individual with no wizardry at
all.
Khrushchev has wizardry all right
but it doesn't show on landing.
"All the earth and air
With thy voice is loud !"
HOW CAN THE MANY VOICES
OF his visit fail to reverberate in
Russia, iron curtain or not? His
people may see and hear more
than he himself does if he has come
for some other purpose. So powered
is the world spotlight that plays on
all that happens publicly. on all he
sees, hears, experiences and does,
that somehow the Russian people
will eventually know And upon
those people the peace and the ex-
istence Of the world depends. They
have the initial emergency job of
somehow doing away with posses

for federal subsidies for airport con
struction (Which was enacted. for
aid to depressed areas and for
school construction which were not
enacted.
Only a Reprieve?
But it should be recognized that
failure to pass many measures OPP
posed by industry may be but a
reprieve until next year-a presi-
dental and congressional election
year.
All bills start the second session
Of the 36th Congress next January
at the exact point in the legislative
process reached during the 1859 ses-
sion. Thus. action taken this year
does not have to be repeated next
year. This serves to shorten the
distance to the statute books.
State Taxation Limited
One Of the major achievements
this year. so far as industry is con
cerned, was enactment Of a meas
ure to limit the power of the states
to tax business income derived from
interstate commerce This was
rushed to enactment following Su-
preme Court decisions broadening
state power to tax interstate com
merce.
While there was no action On tax
reform legislation during this year S
session, hearings were scheduled on
tax reform proposals by the House
Ways and Means Committee to be-
gin on November 49,
Major interest in this subject
centers around identical bills BY
Representatives Herlong D-Fla }
and Baker R-Tenn.l which, among
other things, would reduce personal
and corporate income tax rates to
a maximum Of Az per cent BY a
series of five annual reductions.
States Rights
Industry was encouraged by House
passage Of bill BY Rep. Smith
Diva. to protect state laws against
federal preemption A similar bill
by Senator Mcclellan D-Ark-l and
30 Of his colleagues. is pending in
the Senate Judiciary Committee and
Will BE- pushed vigorously next SUI
sion.
This legislation IN regarded By
industry az among the most i'm
portant presented ID Congress in
many years

Judging one from TV appearances GER
tainly can not be conclusive, but when our
general conclusions coincide with those
trained in art of conference and interview
ing, we believe Mr. K. has not sold the peo-
pie of the United States "bill of goods" on
the communistic system.
Mr. Khrushchev will conclude his visit
with conferences with President Eisenhow-
er this week 1t is to be hoped that he will
not develop such irritableness as to make
his conferences with Mr.. Eisenhower Of no
value Certainly the President will use all
possible diplomacy to obtain settlement Of
world issues between the two nations, but
he will not make any unilateral agreements
with the Premier. Unless there is POSSIBLE
ity of definite agreements in principle,
leading to resolution of present world prob
lens, there should be no summit meeting.
Once compromises are gained from the
United States and it's allies, the COmmu-
mist will demand more and more resulting
in intensification of the cold war or more
definite threats Of a hot war. Junking our
military potential, or curtailing our ability
to defend ourselves would be false moves
toward any peace. Peace without justice
can but lead to another world war as hor-
rible as that may appear. For this reason it
is to be hoped that Mr. Eisenhower may
find some grounds upon which Mr.. Khrush-
chev will agree which will bring era of
peaceful existence among the people Of the
world. The Importance of the talks in
Washington this week can not be over-esti-
mated

Double Check

Saw where the Democratic Ma
tional Committee ran off with the
South. We are always left minus.
Nobody had CUTS enough to even
ask for the resignation of that fly
in the ointment Paul is still
there Congressman were too busy
getting out Of Washington before
the Russians took over and writing
their constituents their forwarding
address it's the worst act of
Congress ever enacted.
After all this hub-bub and hurrah,
the President should set aside a
week Of grace known as the "See
How You Stand Week.
Nothing Just don't seem natural
no more. We are likely to be visited
BY the king and queen of the Cam
bodias. They along with Laos got
their freedom in 1854 from the &C.
neva Conference but they still get
packages from a Hong Kong
friend that explodes, which proves
fatal to the Prince.
Vast countrysides now figure in
the political makeup of the world
today We no longer trudge down
the bread lines to get office It's
|. just got to be something more
promising and on a higher level i. ;.
people are not satisfied with
just bread Voices are blending in
such songs as When the Bear
Comes Over the Ocean, and 'I'l
be happy when I get you down"
Next posting of the hammer and
cycle will no doubt be Mars. The

smiles, never saw the one Khrush-
| chev wears

Constitution Week
it continue thusly.

THIS is Constitution Week. so designated
by the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, on the 172nd anniversary.
The Constitution of the United States is
the first document ever written by free
people, in an atmosphere of freedom, for
the perpetuation of freedom through the
centuries.
The Constitution has guided struggling
nation through 172 years to become the
greatest, strongest and freest nation on
earth.
It stands today the written bulwark of
freedom
Whether it will remain inviolate for the
future protection of people depends largely
upon the determined efforts of constitu-
tional adherents to the letter and spirit of
the document itself.
Definite attempts to execute changes, by
circumvention, judicial fiat, public indif-
ference and apathy, are a real threat to the
basic tenents of this great and powerful
document.
Read the Constitution - study the Con-
stitution you owe it to yourself and to
your children.

Letters To Editor
Moonshine?

Editor, the Farmville Herald:
The Russians claim, their satellite
Has landed on the moon.
But whether this is true or not
We can't prove. late or soon.
When hear claims BY Russians
made,
Some grains of salt | take;
Because l know we can't believe
All claims these Russians make
Their claims about their satellite
May really be quite true;
And then again their claims may be
Some Khrushchev bally-hoo
1t is a strange coincidence
They hit the lunar sphere
Just few days before they planned
Old Khrushchev to land here.
It may be that their satellite
Now on the moon does lay,
But I, for one. am sceptical
OF what the Russians say.
If 1t Is true their satellite
Is on the moon this minute.
wish before they sent it up,
They had put Khrushchev in it.
But if Khrushchev was on the moon
He'd make the moonlight red,
And it would then remind US Of

And maybe, fair Diana would
Then hide her head in shame
Because this bloody murderer,
To her dominion came.

and smite no more n. y
There are many 'big shots" but
the big single shot" is Nikita. He
needs only to push button, they
say, to smite once and therell be
no more to smite It isn't as simple
as that but here's hoping that in
some Of the no-holds-barred inter-
views he will say what he himself
as reasonable man thinks should
be done about this situation Of a
world at the nod Of one man,
man who might slip or go mad.
Certainly it is the Number .One
requirement for peace-that the
Russian people somehow do away
with this single shot situation.
They might at least turn Nikita
into a committee.
But you wonder if even the en-
shaved Russian people would really
respond to the push-button and let
hell be paid by everybody. At the
last second some underling. some
nobody. some lurking rival or some
sudden uprising might cut the
power, kill the contact.

Vitamins. Minerals, and Bulk

until rhubarb came again.

first session Of the 86th Congress.
This can only be described as
amazing. in view Of the fact that
at the beginning Of the session last
January union bosses claimed the
allegiance of a majority of the
members.
What Congress Accomplished
i Yet this Congress-Which conven-
ed after the 1858 New Deal land
slide election = did the following:
l. Passed labor reform legisla-
ton bitterly denounced by union
bosses and in general. supported by
industry as a long step in the right
direction.
2. Resisted multi billion-dollar
spending demands from New Deal
ers and produced what could be
with economy. balanced budget
for the current fiscal year ending
next June 80.
3. Failed to pass a number of
antibusiness bill strongly urged by
New Dealers, including:
S. IL, to destroy the good faith
defense to price discrimination
charges.
S. 442. to require advance notice
to federal agencies Of corporate
mergers.
S. 2l5, to require corporations in
concentrated industries to give ad-
vance notice of price increases to
federal agencies. and to defend the
price increases at public hearings
S. ZIG, to authorize the United
States Attorney General to compel
the production Of documentary evi-
dence desired for antitrust investi-
cations
| Some bills opposed by industry
were enacted These included mea

three years.

Reasons for the favorable out

fairly obvious. They include:
L. An irresistible upsurge of pub
lie opinion from the grass roots
against wasteful Government spend

exposed by the Senate Rackets
Committee. This also led to re

2. The sharp upturn in business

its first week. Though there are always
some changes and adjustments to be made
under normal conditions, we are told that
adjustments have been minimum in the

Casual conversations with teachers, pu-

The children are studying harder dici-

the reaction from the teachers.
We have enough home work, we are COW

important fact, namely that bulbs

you turned it up on something far

week He arrived September Is in all of the
glory and splendor materially speaking,
of which the Communists are capable. He

star intelligentia and whistle-stopped to
San Francisco He has yet to visit the farm
country of Iowa and the great steel center
of Pittsburgh before sitting down with
President Eisenhower, his host, in Wash

longer Mr.. K stays and the more the peo-
pie of America see Of him the more unfa-
vorable their impression becomes. TV list
eners though they continue to watch, are
firing of his bombastic speeches his effort
to sell Communism. his irritable replies to
questions he does not want to answer, and
his filibustering as he parties "loaded"
questions from the press.
The impressions made at the National

refused to buy canned corn: but
went out in the garden and picked
the corn ten minutes before dinner
and we ate it Ion the cob" wher
the kernalS were alive. She always
avoided cooking tomatoes or Gu

cooking killed the seeds. We col
our fats from homemade butter
