BY Hazel BrannOn Smith

The Free World has lost a
valiant spokesman in the ira
gic and untimely death of
Secretary-G General Dag Ham
marskjold. The loss to the
United Nations may be ire
placeable.
AS always, there is never
the right time for an able
public servant to be removed
from the scene because quail
fled, dedicated men of ability
are always scarce-and crises
continue to mount.
1t is automatic that we
rarely recognize the qualities
of a man or the true scope
of his service until we no
longer have the benefit of it.
Then it is to late to show our
appreciation. Such may now
be the case.
But Dag Hammarskjold
was a true, devoted servant
of the United Nations and a
world statesman who put the
cause Of world peace ahead
of everything else and to
that cause he surrendered
everything he had, including
his life.
1t is the little nations Of
the world that will miss him
most because they are the
ones who most needed the
United Nations organization,
rather than the leading
powers.
But we need him, too, and
the play in power politics
stepped up after his death
may well result in the death
or immobilization of the
United Nations, at the pres
emf time our only hope for
eventually achieving world
peace.
AS long as we are talking
instead of shooting, hope re-
mains for the future, at least.
II ever the difference be-
tween the free nations Of the
world and the Soviets was
dramatized, the death Of Dag
Hammarskjold did it.
All nations moved to
mourn his death and pay him
honest and fair tribute, in the
ethic of a decent, human So
ciety.
Except the Soviets.
Even in death the Soviets
did not perform as decent re-
sponsible beings and contain
their bitterness toward the
man who more than. anyone
else was responsible for their
defeat in the Congo. Instead
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minis
ter proclaimed the Soviet
Union did not recognize
Hammarskjold as an official
of the United Nations. at the
same time extending condo
lences.
So even the statement on
the Secretary Generals death
was used as a political
springboard to renew their
move to weaken and make
ineffective the office of Sec
retary-General a move
which, if successful, could
well result in the death knell
of the limited Nations and the

world peace.
Let us hope our own coun-
try will have the support of
all members Of the United
Nations in seeing that the
Soviets are not successful in
performing this travesty.
President Kennedy's ap-
pearance before the United
Nations scheduled for Friday
is ample evidence that we, at
least, recognize the danger
and do not intend to let the
Soviets kill or render impo-

At the rate taxes are being

for the biennium (tWo-year
period).
Our state budget now is
S270 million for this bien-
mum = the difference be-
tween the budget spending
and the tax collections is
made up for by the fact that
there was a $34 million sur
plus left over from the Cole

the Barnett administration is
spending.
In January the surplus will
be gone, and the latest esti-

1884 million for the bien-
