and his wife at any given
point in time, but there is no
apparent evidence that Mrs.
Kennedy needs to worry now.
The situation is very diff
ferent from that obtaining
in the recent past, particu-
larly with respect to Mrs.
Kennedy. 1t should be easily
understood by parents who
have sent their bright and
lovely daughter away to
school and discovered on her
return home that while she
still loves them, she finds
they need badly to be
brought up to date.
Mrs. Kennedy is paying
great attention to the White
House, but she is bent on
improving it, too. Similarly
she is stubbornly applying a
more modern and lighter
touch to the social phase of
her duties. This should sur
prise nobody who has ever

She IS having her failures.
Some members of her staff,

tary, Letitia Baldrige, being
a striking exception, are
hopelessly amateur for the
political nerve center where
they work. They are aggra-
waiting her not very good re-
lationS with newspaper

imperatives. 1t is quite use

The line which the not-so-

Bank Proposes 10 Percent Stock Dividend

Geauga County National
Bank of Chardon directors
have proposed a 10 percent
stock dividend on the 10000
shares of stock of the bank
and tentative approval has
been received from the COM
ptroller of the currency. A
vote on the proposal is Sched-
uled for the annual Stockhold-
erS meeting in January.
The bank shares are $1,000
par value, and the proposed
dividend will increase the
capital to $220,000.00. Surplus
will r e m a n at $240, 600 90
which was recently increased
by a transfer of $40, 1000. 90
from undivided profits.
Newton B. Chapman, pres
ident of the bank, stated that
earnings of the bank in its
first two years of operation
have been far better than the
most optimistic hopes of the
organizers, and these earn
ingS have made possible this
proposed stock distribution to
the shareholders In addition,
the continuing long term
growth prospects for the bank
the continuing increase of
population in Geauga county,
and the county'S apparently
favorable ecoLomic future
prompted the boards action.

Students Without Books

To assure decent standards of educa-
cation, an adequate supply of textbooks
surely ranks high on the list of public
school essentials. Yet some 4,400 pupils in
District schools, primarily junior high
students, are without at least one
needed Schoolbook-with the shortages
occurring mostly in such important
subjects as mathematics and science.
The amount needed to rectify the
immediate crisis is relatively small
about $4,000. And this amount, accord
Ing to School Superintendent Hansen,
can be scraped together from budget
savings during this school year. Before
1t can be spent, however, authorization
apparently is needed from the Commits
sioners and the chairmen of appropria-
tion subcommittee in the House and
Senate. This seems ridiculous amount
of red tape to wade through for such
a small and obviously justified ex-
penditure. But if that is the procedure,
the authorization should be requested
immediately-and granted.

MoryIund's Eisenhower

The 1862 Senate race in neighboring
Maryland will become one of consider
able national interest if DR.. Milton S.
Eisenhower, youngest brother of the
former President, is the Republican
candidate. 1t is fair assumption, too,
that DR.. Eisenhower, now president of
Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,
would give the G. o. P. strong chance
of holding the seat being vacated by the
retirement of Republican Senator John
M. Butler
Within the famous family to which
he belongs, DR.. Eisenhower, now 81, has
been one of the most versatile, brilliant,
and sometimes controversial, members.
In and out of Government service, and
as particularly close adviser to PreSi-
dent Eisenhower, his interests have
ranged from farm policy to foreign
policy. If the academic world best repre-
SentS his career setting, the world of
public service has had frequent claim
upon his attention.
The current move to call him to out
right political service has been launched
by MarylandS other Republican SEN
ator, j. Glenn Beall, and has been
Endorsed by Baltimore's G. o. P. Chair
man, Samuel Hopkins. Dr. Eisenhower
himself has disclaimed any thought of
leaving Johns Hopkins in order to make
the race. He has not, however, said
unequivocally that he would decline
the nomination. Marylands Republican
leadership should and undoubtedly will
explore this political prospect further

UnenforceubIe Blue Law

Chairman UrbanSke of the Arling-
ton County Board was not exagger-
ating when he described Virginia's mud
died Sunday-closing law as completely
unenforceable He asked, on behalf
of the board, that the law be repealed
at the forthcoming session of the Gen.
eral Assembly. However, while admit
ting that the law, as amended at the
last session, is battling to merchants,
customers and law enforcement officers,
several of Arlington'S legislators pro-
posed modification rather than repeal,
OF the statute. It has become clear,
however, that the task of modifying
the law so as to make it workable will
not be easy.
State Senator Fenwick aptly sum-
med it up this way: "The law as
passed has got lot of Inconsistencies.
I think 1t is going to require lot of
revision. I don't know if it ever will
be enforceable Certainly it ought to
be modified" The inconsistencies are
the result of well-intentioned but
A-NOA1oANCICO C11OlU VI OI1G ASRlSldGuTG
to make the States old blue law en-
forceable. The courts had ruled that it
was too ambiguous and the legislators
sought to meet this criticism by being
more specific as to what could and
could not be sold on the Sabbath. Po-
litical preSSures led to exceptions-such
as Virginia hamS-that made it per-
miSSible to sell some foods but not
others, souvenirs but not toys, and
other essential" articles as specified,
but not some articles which many citi-
zens regard as just as essential, or
more so.
The controversial blue law is sure
to be subject of heated debate at
the next session. Desirable as a legal
day of rest may be, Virginia will have
to clarity the present law or face the
fact that it should be repealed. To
leave such confusing law on the
statute books would be ridiculous.

Left-Winqers

Why do Self-appointed lib
erals denounce anyone who
dares to call one of their
champions a left-winger?
Why do they scream radical
reactionary, obstructionist,
McCarthyism, etc, at the
Senator or Congressman who
denounces any of the Admin
istration's leading lights as
having leftiSt leanings?
The very people who shout
the loudest have long referred
to Eisenhower and Nixon
as middle-of -the-road poll
ticians. These same men
and women admit that the
political PHILOSOPHERS of ia
cob Javits and Nelson Rookie
feller are more liberal than
those expressed by the two
leaders of their party. With
out hesitation they have la
beled Barry Goldwater a
right-winger.
If Ike and Nixon are mid
dle-of-the-roaders and Javits
and Rockefeller are some
where left of them and Barry
Goldwater is a right-winger,
in what category do men like
G. Mennen Williams, Chester
Bowles, Arthur Schlessinger.
Abraham Ribicoff and
others of their political hue
belong?
To find the answer to this
question let us utilize the
same measuring stick that
these scholars of political
theology use so freely. If
Goldwater is rightist, these
men can't be called right
wingers. Having little or
nothing in common with
Eisenhower or Nixon, they
can't be called middle-of-
the-roaderS. Javits and
Rockefeller, for all of their
enlightened thinking, are TAX
ing all this into considera-
ton. Does it not follow that
the Williams, Bowles, Schles-
singer group belongs to the
leftist movement in Ameri-
can politics? Are they not
then left-wingerS? Why all
of the uproar when someone
calls a spade a spade?

The Eichmonn Case

In sentencing Adolf Eichmann to
death, Presiding Justice Moshe Landau
said that during the Nazi effort to
exterminate the Jews "the accused
identified himself in his heart with the
orders received by him and was actu-
ated by an ardent desire to attain the
criminal object" This, we think, is
amply supported by the evidence, de-
spite Eichmann's repeated disclaimers
Of guilt. Consequently, to the extent
that the proceedings in Jerusalem were
trial of an individual for personal
involvement in crime, the established
facts abundantly justify both the judg-
ment and the sentence.
Actually, however, the trial was
something more. 1t was also an at
tempt to document, and to record
for all the world to see, the almost
unbelievable atrociouSness and cold
bloodedneSS of the murder by the
Nazis of some 100000 Jews. In this
respect the trial of Eichmann, the
individual, was somewhat incidental.
1t was the German nation, or at least
its governing regime under Hitler, which
stood in the dock And 1T is at this
point that misgivings arise-misgivings
which are not related to dubious pro-
cedural questions such as the manner
of Eichmann'S apprehension in Argen-
tina and his trial under statute
which did not exist at the time of his
crimes. The essential point in this
aspect Of the matter is whether JUS
tice is best served when the trial of
an individual is consolidated with and
even subordinated to the trial of
system.
Perhaps it will be said that Eich-
mann's personal guilt could not have
been established without, at the same
time, trying and convicting the system
within which he served. And this
may be true. But it remains to be
seen whether the second and perhaps
the larger objective of the trial-the
registering of an enduring impression
upon the conscience of mankind-haS
been achieved. In this connection it
is of some significance to note the
Associated Press report from Jerusalem
which quoted lone court official as
saying: "The wrath Of Israel has now
been spent"

Delayed Eviction
Frank b. Christopher,

1t cost us $4,000 for the
privilege" of being evicted
from our home by the Mary
land State Roads Commits
sion. This does not include
lawyers fees or the price
OF furnishings for the new
house, nor can we measure
in money the mental an
guish, Illustration, and indig-
mites involved.
We do not oppose progress,
and we are aware that some
one has to be the victim in
road building. But as Ameri-
can citizens, voters, and tax
payers we have the right
to expect prompt, efficient
handling of the business and
a just and fair settlement.
We got none of these.
On July 13 the appraisal
was made. We were prom
ised the States offer within
a month. Not until Septem-
ber % did we get the verbal
offer, only then because the
office at Laurel was pres
sured, and another month
elapsed before settlement was
m a de. Meantime, between
July and September we were
supposed to find another
home, without having any
idea what price we would be
offered for our property un-
der condemnation proceed
ings. When the offer finally
came, it was so far below
present market prices that
we could not begin to dupli-
cate our cuStom-built home
on an acre of ground.

School Board Surplus

Wild charges have filled the
Arlington scene concerning
the $372,438 surplus in the
funds of the School Board.
People with axes to grind
have charged that the board
deliberately concealed" this
surplus from the public until
after the vote on the school
bond referendum November
z.
Let's set the facts straight:
An Arlington County ordi-
nance requires the school
board, within so days after
close of the fiscal year on
June 80, to report the status
OF its funds. This year, in ac-
cordance with this long
established practice, the re-
quired report was in the
hands of the county's finance
director on September l, 1861.
The report was referred to
the county board, and came
before the county board at
its meeting on October Z,
1861. The school board sur
plus was discussed in some
detail at that meeting - and
the discussion is summarized
on pages 2-3 of the clerks
notes. This was a public
meeting covered by the press.
There was no indication by
the county board that the
surplus should have been
used to reduce the amount of
the school bond referendum,
Quite to the contrary, the
discussion centered around
the possible use of these sur
plus funds for the construc-
ton Of items in the school
boards construction program
which were not included in
the 1861 bond issue. The
county board directed that a
letter be written to find out
how the school board pro-
posed to use these funds.
These facts do not indicate,
on the part of either the
school board or the county
board, a disposition to CON
ceal" SURPRISES.
Because of the nature of
the school boards revenues
from county, State, and Fed
eral sources, and the times at
which these funds are actual
ly in hand, it is impossible for
the school board to predict
whether it will have a sur
plus, or how large it will be.
In the fiscal year 1953-54, for
example, there was a deficit
of $132,0000. In 1856 there
occurred the largest surplus
in recent years; $579,000. The
very next year there was the
smallest surplus of recent
times: $4,000. But whether it
is large or small - or is even
a deficit - the report is al
ways in the lands of the
county director of finances by
September l.
