NO COMMENT
BY JAMES W. DoUTHAT

WASHINGTON, May 4 Signs
are increasing that the preslden-
tial veto may be the major factor
in determining whether a num-
Der Of hotly-contested measures
before Congress are stopped
short of enactment.
There is general expectation on
Capitol, Hill that a veto lies
ahead for such proposals. if ap-
proved by Congress in their pres
ent form. as federal subsidies
for housing. school construction
and depressed areas. compul-
sCry hospital care for the aged,
increasing the minimum wage
from Sl.O0 to S1.25 an hour; and
boosting the salaries Of govern
ment employees.
There is no doubt that Presi-
dent Eisenhower is determined
to use his veto power against
any measure that seriously vio-
lates his principles as to what
constitutes proper federal action.
In fact, he already is proposing
a new WatchWord - "one third
and one to his congressional
leaders as major requirement
in opposing undesirable leglsla-
ion during the remainder of the
session.
This refers. Of course. to the
number CT votes necessary to
sustain veto. A tWo-thirds veto
Of both the House and the Senate
IS required to override.
1t is possible that Congress
may modify some of the pending
proposals, to which the Admins
tratiOn objects. in such a way as
to escape a veto. Much can hap
pen in the weeks ahead before
adjournment.
President Eisenhower, as is
well known, is seeking in every
way notwithstanding a special
message to Congress-to enlist
support for his program from
the legislators and from the pub
lie He also is trying to stimulate
opposition to the many budget
busting big spending proposals Of
the New Dealers.
Needless to say. the New
Dealers are stepping up their eff
forts to portray the Administra-
ton as being far too niggardly in
dispensing federal bounties to
the people back home.
1t is certain that this battle
will be Wage d relentleSSly
throughout the present session Of
Congress and will continue right
down to the November election
day-and on into the foreSeeable
| future.
Special Message
In his special message to Con-
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1960-05-10

gress President Eisenhower as
serted:
For America S sake, We must
resist the temptation, this year
or any year. to overspend the
taxpayer hard-earned dollars
and overcentralize responsible
ties III the Federal Government.
If we fail III this. we will
weaken our hope of ever control
ling federal extravaganza and
viii indefinitely postpone debt re-
tirement ard tax relief.
At the same time We will de-
base our currency, invite the re-
Surgence Of inflationary forces,
undermine local and state re-
sponslbllity, and thus erode away
America S strength at home and
in the world ..
We should avoid presumption
Of state ard local functions and
take genulne national need rather
than elittering desirablllty as our
guide in federal expenditures.
Housing
HostllitieS shifted to the SEN
ate, following house passage of
the 81 billion subsidy bill to re-
lIeVe what opponents describe as
a noN-cXiStcrt recession in the
housing industry.
Opponents we're hcartened by
the fact that the PA to 1863 House
vote was less than the two thirds
required to overtmn a veto.
Advocates of the measure
pointedly made clear during de
bate that they expected the
measure to be one of the big
issues in the election campaign.
They are waeing a furious propa-
eanda campaign.
Rep. Kilbunn tR-N.Y.o summed
up the OPPOSITION viewpoint this
way in a statement to the House:
This bill lays the spending
issue squarely before the Con-
greSs.
If YOU want to be known as
an irresponsible spcndel'-vote
for this bill
If YOU want to be known as a
budget-buster vote for this bill.
IF YOU ATE for fiscal irrespon-
sibility vote for this bill
If YOU want to socializc mort
gage credit-Note for this bill.
IF you think the taxpayers
should substitute about three per
cent Of the home buyers this year
vote for this bill"

Camp Easter Seal
Summer Treatment
Center Has Spaces

Camp Easter Seal Summer
Treatment Center still has a
number OF openings for crippled
children during its first session
Of the 1860 season, beginning
June II and continuing to July 2.
DR.. William T. Sanger, Of
Richmond, president of the Vir-
ginia Society for Crippled Chill
dren and Adults which operates
the summer facility, said today
that because of the delayed
school closings in many coun-
ties as a result of last winter S
heavy SHOWS. the number of APP
plications for the opening period
was considerably smaller than
in previous years. He pointed
out also that with the antici-
pated completion of an infirm-
airy at the camp. additional
space would likely be available
to accommodate a larger num-
Der Of children.
Children between the ages of
8 and Is years are eligible.
2 hys c a |, occupational and
speech therapy are provided at
the center to meet the individual
needs of each child. These are
combined and coordinated with
the general camping program.
thus making an extensive re-
Mobilization service possible
Parents. doctors, civic clubs,
and other groups interested in
sending crippled children to the
camp should write the Virginia
Society for Crippled Children
and Adults, P. o. Box 1888,
Roanoke. Virginia, for applica-
ton blanks and complete in
formation with regard to en-
rollnlent.
The second and third periods
will run from July 3 to July %;
and from July "a to August ID.

BabsOn Discu sses Hawaii

BABSON PARK, MASS. May
- After long wait of about
sixty years. the Hawaiian Islands
finally won statehood in 1859. I
have had more than a passing
interest in this event for several
reasons. First. missionaries from
New England and their descen-
dantS were leaders in the devel-
opment of the islands. Second,
my Seafaring ancestors stopped
at Hawaii on their trips to Asia.
Finally on these trans-Pacific
runs my great uncles gained an
early insight into the enterpris-
ing characteristics of these ORR
entails and told me bedtime"
stories about them.
Lesson for Democracy
On my own visits to the Orient,
l have stopped in Hawaii. Ono
thing which impressed me was
the peaceful Indignation OF the
many different races. Political
leaders throughout the world
would do well 10 study the or
derby manner IN which Hawaii
has absorbed its varying racial
groups without leglsIa ton or vio-
lence.
In view of the decline i'll
American prestige throughout
the world, it might be wise to
study Hawaii S marvellous social,
economic and political progress.
This demonstrates what can be
accomplished under democratic
form of government, if patience
is utilized.

Merrie Month Of May

Springs last-born darling, clear-eyed, sweet
Pauses moment with twinkling feet
And golden locks in breezy play
Halfteasing and halftender, to repeat
Her song of May
Susan Coolidge.
MAY, which probably derives its name
~ from Maia, the mother of Mercury,
is the last Spring month. 1t is a partic-
ularly pleasant month in the United
States, and most countries, and signifies
the end of school for millions of STU
dents.
The belief that May Is an unlucky
month for marriage is hangover from
the old Roman belief that the good god
dess Fauna was prophetic divinity,
who revealed her knowledge only to
females. And the festival Of the goddess
was celebrated in May. Also, the festival
of the unhappy dead was also cele-
brated in that month. The month was
not supposed to be lucky for marriages
because Of these two festivals.
Probably then, June became a pop
ular month for marriages, since it fol-
lowed May, and since marriages post
poned probably took place the follow
ing month, or in June
The month of May contains many
memorable dates in our history. First
there is the celebration of May Day,

United States has acted to invalidate
it, by offering to give it's citrus to
charitable institutions and the child
rem of Trinidad.
In 1857, the first time the United
States offered to give its citrus to
the needy in Trinidad, the Citrus
Growers Association paid the United
States over $4,000 for the fruit This
check is still lying, uncashed, in a
government office in Trinidad
As a result of the refusal of the
present regime to allow the United
States to give Trinidad the fruit -
for charitable purposes - much citrus
fruit is being buried in bitches in
Trinidad today. In other words, while
youngsters and needy are in dire need
of the fruit, and an adequate diet
the government of Trinidad is refus-
ing the L. S. offer of the fruit as a
gift.
This is how bitter the issue has be-
come, and it is another sign, even
though a little one, Of friction devel-
oping between the United States and
some of its neighbors to the South.

which is held in many colleges and
schools, and the custom of electing May
Queens. The custom probably began in
England, as survival of the Roman
festivals.
The Battle of Manila Bay was fought
on May LIST, 1898 That battle won
ascendancy for the United States fleet
against the Spanish in the Atlantic.
The annual observance. of Mothers
Day, course, falls on the second Sum
day, and dates from 1907. Miss Anna
NJ. Jarvis, Of Philadelphia, is response
bic for gaining national acceptance of
the day, although Miss Mary T. Sasseen,
a Kentucky school-teacher, probably
arranged for the first observance of the
day, in 1906
The Anglo-Saxons called May Thri-
mice, because in that month the COWS
could be MIXED three times day again.
In all countries, for many centuries, it
seems that May has been a welcome
month since it brings flowers and warm
weather and an end to the lingering
danger of bitter cold, which is always
present in April.

Money Don't Buy Friends

IN Trinidad a country where the
United States has military base as
we do in Cuba, the United States is
also encountering some difficulties
with the local government.
The latest word from Port of Spain
is that relations between U. S. author
tiles and the government there are
still strained over the issue of citrus
fruit, of all things
The area where the United States
was told to build its base in 1851, as
result of the 'destroyers-for-b bases"
deal with Great Britain, was an area
laid out in citrus. The Americans
have kept the plantations in good or
der, and in most years marketed the
surplus crops with Citrus Grow
ers' Association of Trinidad.
This agreement worked we'll until
about two or three years ago Then,
new Premier was elected, DR. Eric
Williams. He claimed that the United
States was flooding the market with
its citrus.
However, agricultural officials have
ridiculed this statement and the

sometimes get of two or three
hands in a row before the other
fellow gets back into the con-

Politeness Doesn't Pay
But you're probably too po-
lite to interrupt. so you have to
listen to the rest Of the story.
The man has just trumped the
third diamond.
Guess what I did next" he
challenges you.
You know darned well what
he did next. He led out his
three top trumps and went
down. When South tried to get
a discard on the hearts, West
ruffed the third heart. So South
wound UP losing a club, q trump
and two diamonds.
But you look politely inter-
ested. and the fellow explains
that after ruffing the third dia-
mond he led the 10 Of spades!
Now there was no way to defeat
the contract. South could draw
trumps safely and get his dis
card. Duminy,s nine Of spades
could take care of any further
diamond nonsense.

over, and you can top him with
the time you threw away two
aces and made your contract
