WHAT HAPPENED I'm
WISCONSIN?

WISCONSIN?
/ When John F. Kennedy and HUI
bert Humphrey lock horns in West
Virginia on May 10 they will be
vying for the privilege of running
as Vice President on national ticket
headed by some other Democrat.
Neither man will, of course, agree
with this analysis of what happened
in Wisconsin. But, it seems to me,
both men have inadvertently proved
what other politicians have discovered
in the past that Wisconsin can be the
graveyard of a mans White House
ambitions.
Kennedy really needed to make a
clean sweep of the states 10 districts
and have solid delegation from the
Badger State in his corner when the
main bout opens in Los Angeles. I'm
fortunately for him his vote, while
impressive, was not decisive. -
Even before Wisconsin, Humphrey
was always an underdog with only an
outside chance, under optimum condi-
tions, of winning the No. 1 spot on
the ticket. His Wisconsin showing
was respectable, but not spectacular.
Both men, no matter who wins in
West Virginia, will have stable
number of delegates supporting them.
Humphrey may have 100 to $50,
scattered around the country. Ken
nedy will probably have 800 to 400.
This will put them in the position of
making some good political trades,
but not in a position to control events
at the convention.
The Wisconsin vote showed several
things, however, that might be of
value to all the other Democratic
hopefuls. Some of the conclusions are
a bit tentative and even contradic-
tory, yet they are worth studying and
will be examined as
guide-line to the party's future
course.
First, Humphreys militant tactics
in the farm areas won him a bigger
vote than the pollsters thought he had
any right to expect.
Second, Kennedy's moderate ap-
preach paid off for him in the big
cities, even in those districts where
labor unions are active. Some of this
vote may have been along religious
ines, but it also showed that organ
zed workers do not demand fire-and-
birthstone when they feel prosperous
and comfortable.
Third, where religion and economic |
interest conflicted, the latter won out.

The experience of Montana bust
nessmen, applying for SBA loans
has shown that when officials did
not get all tangled up in red tape
they have been restrictive, inflex-
IDLE and unsympathetic. From re-
ports reaching me, most applicants
for an SBA loan would have no
need for it if they could meet the
ageney's requirements.

State House Beat

-..s. The fastest breaking. story in tn,
state is now developing in Bank Elk
aminer Bob Towle's office. The re
suit of the March Is 'call" upon the
state chartered banks was released
to the public last week. According tc
Towle's assistant, Les Alike, only IL
nationally chartered banks remain to
be heard from to give the complete
picture Of the banking industry
in Montana.
Some simple arithmetic and com
parison to the year 1856 before the
"better banking act" was enacted
will demonstrate the correctness of
the more popular clubbing of the
Banking Act of 1857 as the bankers
relief act''.
The Montana Bankers Association
hired some very skillful gentlemen
to hoodwink the 1857 Legislature
into turning state equalization pow
ers over to the banks to achieve "more
sound banking" in the state. How
sound must this industry" be? De-
positors are protected by federal in
surance. The interest charts have
long been perfected only 'sure"
things are acceptable to bank Off
cials.
This equalization power given the
banks allows them the taxable value
of seven per cent on bank surplus
up to the amount of capital, instead
of the 80 per cent valuation placed
upon the stocks and other private
properties.
This is the way the state chartered
banks looked in 1856 when the Leg
islature was made to believe a change
was necessary. capitalization stood
at $6,655, 1000; surplus, $8,499,50O;
undivided profits, $3.50, 73O; re-
serves, $537,143; making total of
$23,288,373 of bank money with de-
posits of. other peoples money
amounting to 1854 millions.
The banking business picked up
so that the March Is assessment call
of 1860 showed deposits of 1898 mil
lions. Bank operating moneys broke
down this way: capitalization, SILL
O1O, 900; surplus, $11, 637, 800; I'M
divided profits, $5,767,7 43; reserves,
$27O,OOO. Totaling $28,685,556.
In three years the bank money in
creased $5,397,183 and deposits $50 |
million.
The tax advantage was fully ex-
plotted. The remaining $627,50O diff
ference between the surplus and capt.
of tho \
tiny banks have not had enough bust
ness to warrant an increase in stock
investment. These smaller banks, con-
have received substantial
cut in taxes.
Back in 1857 it could be seen by
any solon who would take the trouble
hat upon passage of the relief act
AK income would be lowered. Avail
able figures for 1856, for state banks
,nly, showed a tax cut of $4,000
f the act passed. An average 1896
Mill levy for the state, counties and
schools was in effect then.
For the assessment call of March
Is. 1860, had the pre-1957 80 per
.ent assessment been in effect there
would have been $8,605,572 of tax
lble funds. The seven per cent rate
IN surplus cut this amount to &c.
)74,872 or loss of 1851, ZOO. At s
he present 13O-mill levy this repre-
ents a loss of $329,117 in tax reve-
tues from state-chartered banks.
How can this tax loss be recon-
ciled in the face of a ten per cent
increase in deposits and 10 per
cent increase in bank operating
funds?
To bring this case against bankers
elief more to the point! Two of the {

Santa Clauses and poin-
settia prints, shiny foils and
large ribbon bows, that's
what Christmas packages are
made of nowadays. Although
gift giving In some form or
another has been going on
practically since the begin
ming Of time, credit for being
the pioneers in gift wrap
pings goes to the ancient
Chinese.
The Chinese liked to in
corporate a special symbol
ism into their package wraps.
New Years gifts were very
important and wrapped ac-
cordingly in red and deco
rated with handmade seals
in gold leaf or color. The
seals might represent the
Flu Dog meaning ''protec-
ton; the Ar tree, signifying
"long life; or the bamboo
tree, wishing virtue. long
life and many sons" for the
recipient. Their beautiful,
handmade rice papers flecked
with gold are art museum
treasures today.
Subsequent. civilizations
seem to have abandoned the
wrapping Of gifts. In the
Middle Ages, for instance,
presents were given in any
thing from simple carved
boxes to gold casks studded
with jewels, or on small cush-
ions Of silk, satin or cloth-of-
gold. The Japanese, too,
draped their presents in heir
loom brocades which they
expected returned after the
presentation of the gift.
Back go Years
Here in the United States
gift wrappings came into
prominence less than so years
ago. Up to this time the
only available wrappings to
speak of were white, green
or red tissue; tinsel cord and
green or red satin ribbon.
The only other wrappings
sometimes used were news
papers with appropriate
headlines or butchers Paper
with hand-pairted scenes or
seasonal greetings.
It all started by a rather
strange fluke. A shipment of
envelope lining papers ar

rived too late for q New York
stationer's Christmas line so
rather than hold them In
storage he decided to sell
them for gift wrappings.
The response to the papers
was tremendous and there
started q multi-million- dollar
business. Today the combi-
nation sale of Christmas and
year-round papers amounts
to about $500 to $500 million
dollars per year.
Ideas
It's a known fact that
Americans go "all out" for
holiday wrappings. So here
are some fun-to-do suggeS-
tions for packaging from Den
nison. which has about 200
new designs out for the holi-
day season:
Wrap a small package In
embossed gold foil, fringe
the ends and tie up with gold
and red ribbons to resemble
o child's party snapper.
Wrap q rectangular pack
age in bright gold-colored
crepe paper to look like a
book and write your name
using shiny red gummed let:
terset on its cover.
Wrap a perfume bottle to
look like an impish Christ
mas angel. Cover the body
with q cone Of red glazed
paper, make wings from
shiny silver foil. The face
is a styrofoam ball with fea-
lures cut from gummed
paper.
Wrap a rectangular pack
age in blue flecked paper and
decorate with smiling carolers
cut from gummed crepe
paper.
A Train
Wrap a package, for q
youngster. to resemble a
train. Make cars for the
train using fiat packages of
chewing gum covered with
brightly colored gummed
paper. Use single life-savers
for wheels and a whole pack
age wrapped in red-and-
whlte-striped gift wrapping
paper for the engine.
Wrap brown paper into
tubular lengths to make arms,
legs, and a body for q con-
temporary Christmas doll.
Cover the frame with shiny
gold foil paper, make facial
features from blue lawyers
seals and fringe foil for hair.
Conceal q magazine subScrip-
ton. theater tickets or Christ
mas check beneath the dolls
skirt.
Wrap a square box to look
like dice. Cover the package
with black glazed paper and
scatter the proper number
Of white reinforcement circles
for authenticity.
Wrap a present for a truly
feminine effect in a gold
and green tree patterned
paper. Decorate the trees
with vari-colored sequins and
tie with a fluffy gold bow.
Wrap a package in a pa
triotic way. Cover the box
with red foil and cut red,
white and blue SQUARES from
gummed paper. Cut letters
from white gummed paper

Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir:
 It was with a deep feeling of regret that Kodiak children and parents learned that the Aunt Jenny Show" will no longer be seen. The program, which appear ed on AFRS-TV the past nine months, was edited and produced by Mrs. Genevieve Layman.
 Mrs. Layman, who is employed in the Supply Dept. on the Naval Station, has taught as we'll as entertained the children for two hours each Saturday morning. She has recognized and encouraged the many talents of children by having them dance, sing or play a musical instrument. Letter writing and drawing contests were also held for which awards and cash prizes were given
 The letter writing contest, with the Scouts Oath Doing my duty to God and my country" the theme, was won by Den 2 in town and Den 6 on the Base. Her reproduc- tions of Walt Disney movies with words and music, and drawn by  such talented artists as Don Dun- away, Dayna Boucher, Victoria Layman and Elaine Pajari, were truly outstanding entertainment.
 Besides her many individual children guests were the Girl Scouts, Cub and Boy Scouts, Good News Club and a group of fine singers from the Baptist Mission.
 Mrs. Layman also directed both a Brownie and Intermediate Girls Scout camp and has been teaching a Sunday School class as we'll as

Topples Symbols Of Those Who Fought & Died

Tn Flanders Fields the peoples blow"-and so the flower that pre- cipitated one war became the symbol of another and, with Memorial Day, of all those who have died in war.
 The poppy was first associated with war in 1840-in the form of opium. World Book Encyclopedia explains that the fireworks started when the Chinese clamped down on Great Britain's smuggling of opium to China.
 Britain took the opium issue as an excuse for declaring war But when the Opium War ended in 1842, the issue was left unsettled while Britain concentrated on eX- acting trading privileges and economic power - from the Chi neSe.
 Three quarters of a century later, the poppy became a symbol of World War l.
 In 1918, when the YMCA staff worker named Molina Michael read the poem about Flanders Field, U. S. military cemetery in Europe, she conceived the idea of wearing a poppy in memory of those sol dierS who had died in World War L
 Miss Michael persuaded the American Legion to adopt the poppy as its Memorial Flower, and the national convention ap- proved the resolution in 1920.
 The Veterans of Foreign Wars adopted the poppy and con- ducted the first nationwide poppy sale for the benefit of war vet erans in 1922.
 Local communities now choose one day from the week before Memorial Day as Poppy Day, when volunteers sell the artificial flow

Book Review
Russia From The Inside Out

The sentence for the small, Sickly man was four years in a labor camp. Even if he comes out of it alive after four years" said his brother, "he won't be of much use" What was the little mans crime? He lost his identity papers down a drain, and was unable to prove he hadn't given them away to a spy.
 Guarding it's everyday face from the world, the Soviet Union is still an enigma to most of the Free World. The contrast between the tourist facade and the reality of Russian life can be observed only by someone who can pass unnOt- iced among the drab crowds. Such man is Joseph Novak, young student from an Iron Curtain coun- try who lived the life of Russian citizen during the years following Stalin'S death. Because he was a student from another Communist country, Novak was free to travel across the country, mingling with factory workers, students, intellec- tralS and soldiers, and he surrep- titl0usly made notes of everything he saw and heard.
 MT. Novak's notes and his mem ory are the basic ingredients of his new book, 'The Future Is Ours, Comrade: Conversations with the Russians, which Doubleday pub lished May 20. Irving R. Levine, the noted correspondent and au- thor, says of Novak: He enjoyed access to Russian people and places that a journalist can only envy. Tn fact a traveller to Russia of any category cannot fail to ad- mire the author of this book"
