The Kennedy administra-
tion's new protocol chief,
Angler Biddle Duke, today
proposed a careful study
before handing American am
bassadorS "staggering G."
amounts of money" for en-
tertainment abroad.
The success of a diplomat,
Mr.. Duke suggested, depends
more on his efficiency than
on how much he spends. He
said big parties sometimes
even do harm.
Mr.. Dukes views, in an
address prepared for a Wom-
ems National Press Club
luncheon, sounded a jarring
note amid the recent chorus
OF demands that Congress
vote a bigger entertainment
allowance for American dip
lomats serving Uncle Sam
overseas.
One Million Allowance
The State Department has
an annual 81 million enter
tainment allowance for its
diplomatic posts around the
world. Some United States
diplomats say their share is
so small that much of it can
be used on just one affair
like an annual Fourth of July
party. Ambassadors at big
capitals like London, Paris
and Rome repeatedly spend
upwards of $4,000 out Of
their own pockets a year if
they can afford it.

There are various other standard deducti ons, all spoken very piously, such as:
 IT went to church shortly after arrived"
 IT send my fife and stay home wi tn the kids, so she can enjoy it."
 1T went regularly as a child, .and that was enough.,
 IT don't know the hymns in the new hYmal, so I might as well stay home."
 IT listen on the radio and that is enough"
 1T went just last Eas ster."
 There are many more. These are all self-imposed "standard deducti ons". So much depends on setting the standard. If the Federal Government let everyone set his own standard deduct tion for in come taxes, I can imagine they would collect very little.
 This is not saying, of course, that God has set maximum or minimum for church attendance and some will: even say, IT can be just as good a aQ1ri stian wi thout going to Church." It is another standard deduction.~ They would be an even better Christian wit regular attendance and would be good example as we'll. ~=
 More to be pitied, perhaps, are those who do not even givei it thought. Their conscience has longs since given up hope of competing with the argument of a self-made standard deduction. This person will always mi ss the benefits of knowing God be tier and tte pheasant sen- sation of being found regularly in His House. . God has not set a andarddhduction He has provided, a way of salvation. utbn of co1x is hea1d and where He is worshipped in thanksgiving and praise for providing this way of salvation.
 Don't t wait until Easter, attend regularly now, as we'll as on Easter. ::

CHAPLAINS CORNER THE STANDARD DEDUCTION
 by Chaplain. Vernon Stenberg .. It is wondered how many people take standard deduction when it comes to their religious activities. For inst- ance take church attendance. Many people attend every Sunday. They say that even if there is not a church of their choice conveniently located they find a church to attend. The son given is that they just would not feel it was Sunday if they did not attned Church.. It has developed into habit by which their lives are enriched.
 Th7re are others who feel they ought to attend, they know they benefit from attendance in ways that cannot be ex- plained, but they take the Standard Deduction. imagine that the think ing coes omething like this: "Here it is Sunday morning, I suppose I ought to go to church.. |. but then, did go last Sunday" The person has taken his own standard deduction.
 On the following Sunday, the same person is very likelyto say to hims elf again, Here it is Sunday morning and I suppose I ought to go to church, since missed last Sunday. |. but it isn't as if I haven't been there this month." He again takes his own stand- ard deduction.

Principal Points OF Education
| Bill-ThiS past week the Congress
has been presented with the adj
ministration's aid-to-education pro-
posal Under the recommended
legislation, the taxpayers would be
called on to provide:
Federal funds for teachers sala-
rics;-Federal funds for school con-
struction;-EXpansion of the pres

A five year scholarship program
for talented and needy pupils.
The cost to the taxpayers for

PUBIC DEBT Heavy, Even FOR US
Our national debt of about 289
billion dollars is a staggering sum

pay off an average of 2 billion
dollars every year, without inter-

cent of debt Probably the most
frequent argument we hear from

richest country in the world, and
can afford it. The fact is: the debt
of the United States is one of the
heaviest in the world even in pro-
portion to our total wealth and

security" Instead of individual
responsibility, he has a govern

Buyers Depend On
Accurate Weights
And Measures

When the Maryland housewife
buys pound of meat or the Mary
land motorist buys gallon of
gasoline, they depend on the ac-
curacy of state established stand
ards of weights and measures.
There are millions of such trans
actions going on in all parts of
Maryland each week. Our depend
ence on accurate standards of
weights and measures will be
pointed up during National
Weights and Measures Week in
Maryland during March l through
7.
Official standards of weights
and measures were first adopted
for the nation 161 years ago. With
out such standards, regularly
tested and approved by govern
ment weights and measures Of
ficials, chaos would quickly re-
suit So points out Mr.. Richard
N. Smith, Asst. Supervisor of
Weights and Measures in the De-
partment of Markets, University
of Maryland College of Agricul-
ture.
His staff checks hundreds of diff
ferent kinds of packaged items
each year in all parts of Mary
land to see that they are properly
labeled as to net weight or meas
ure. These items will vary all the
way from seed and fertilizer to ice
cream and meat This field force
also makes an annual check of all
scales and measuring devices
In addition to the annual checks
of scales and liquid measuring de-
vices, unannounced spot checks
are made frequently, Mr. Smith
says. The overwhelming majority
of merchants in Maryland are
strictly honest and weight and
measure enforcement helps them
to stay that way by eliminating the
INSCRIPTIONS competitor with his
overpriced and underweighted
sales.
Scales, like other pieces of ma
chinery, can make mistakes when
out of adjustment, abused or used
by unskilled persons, he continues.
Thus the need for a regular pro-
gram of weights and measures in
spection
In further discussing the i'm
portance of weights and measures
in today's complex economy, Mr..
Smith points out some less COM
monty known uses of accurate
weighing. Counting of pieceWork
upon which wages are paid, count
ing of money in banks is done by
weighing coins. seeds as fine as
dust that sell for as much as $16,-
600 a pound must be accurately
weighed Weights and measures
are also important in manufac-
turing. Minute quantities of Won
der drugs in medicine and live
stock feeds must be measured
accurately. he explains. For that
reason, they are weighed. Thou
sands of food items from flour
to ketchup are made by mixing
ingredients together by weight
Ingredients of such products as
glass and plastics are blended by
weight Thus, the weight official
says, accuracy of the standards
used is of tremendous importance

Red China; A Moral Issue-By
almost unanimous vote. the two
Houses of Congress. not too Ions
ago, went on record as opposed tC
admission of the Red Chinese il
the u. N. The elected representa-
tives of the American people
seemed to feel this was a mora
issue, and they made their voices
heard clear and strong. And yet
there comes cropping up the dis.
concerning rumors that several OF
the men now in high places would
ignore the will of the people, as
reflected by Congress, and favor
admission of Red China.
Has Red China changed since it
waged war on the U. ~ and on
the U. S. A. in Korea? Have we
forgotten the $4,000 casualties we
suffered there? Will the United
Nations have any real influence in
the world if it sacrifices it own
Self-respect and yields to the Com
munist bloc? Why should we re-
treat on this moral issue?
John Foster Dulles, in addressing
a church group. said:
Moral power can be power
full force in the world This is not
a mere pious hope. 1t is the judg-
mcnt of every realist throughout
history 1t was Napoleon who said
that in war, moral considerations
make up three-fourths of the game.
1t was Admiral Mahan who said
that physical force was useful only
to give moral ideals time to take
root The need is for more effec-
tive political use of moral power

tion-A Bureau of Mines report

"Sportsmanship is unknown"
to West Virginia basketball
fans, Pitt Coach Bob Timmons
says.
At q basketball writer's
luncheon yesterday, Timmons.
whose Panthers lost to the
Mountaineers in Morgantown
last Saturday. said:
81 guess they (the fans) just
don't like Pitt. Our John Frid-
ley played about SO minutes
and Ben Jinks about 81 while
West Virginia was two-platoon-
ing us and wearing us down,
Those two boys gave the
fans their moneys worth and
played themselves into exhaus-
ton. But when I took them
out for a breather, the crowd
Missed and booed. You sort
of expect some yelling when oul
boys are shooting fouls. But
a boy who has played a terrific
game deserves at least a bit Of
applause"
Timmons mentioned that two
ushers stationed behind the
Pitt bench kept calling the
