Next to the weather, probably no
subject of conversation is more dear to
the American heart than health ones
own, that Of others and more recently
that of whoever happens to be the Presi-
dent of the United States. Mr.. Eisen-
hower's for example, has provided
material for interminable discussion

for warm congratulations at this
moment.
So it Is that the two young men,
both in their forties, who were COM

duce something in the nature of a

The Cost of Frinqes

It has become almost universal in
labor contract negotia-
tions that package Of so-called fringe
benefits figures Importantly at the
bargaining table. Although frequently
stated in terms that make these seem
relatively insignificant, their cumula-
tive cost in dollars has become
astonishingly heavy. Some, such as
employer payments to the social
security system, are imposed by law
and are not subject to negotiation.
Others are arrived at by direct bar
gaining.
The National Industrial Conference
Board has drawn an interesting statis-
ments to wages and salaries-outlays
by employers-have mounted sharply
during the past quarter Of century
to approximately $18 billion in 1860. At
this level, they represented IA per cent
Of the $243 billion paid by industry in
wages, salaries and supplements. In
1885, the total was about $500 million
or slightly more than l per cent Of
total outlays to personnel. And while
employer payments to social security
amounted to $50 billion last year, 1t is
notable that employer contributions to
private pension and welfare funds
often subject to egotiation-totalled
$8.5 billion.
This is cost to industry that prob
ably will continue to rise and Is in fact
accepted with increased willingness by
management. Nevertheless, the paying
of it constitutes burden which all too
often goes unappreciated.

Gracious goodbye

President Eisenhower's final news
conference was a pleasantly relaxed
affair.
Although the eight-year record Of
such meetings shows that Mr. Eisen-
hover met the newsmen and women
fewer times and more irregularly than
did his immediate Democratic prede-
cessors, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry
Truman, it likewise shows very few
occasions of anything approaching un-
pleasant or embarrassing exchanges.
And If Mr.. Eisenhower did not often
display as much relish for fitting with
the correspondents as his predecessors,
1t Is worth noting that the conference
practice itself was brought to a new
high level Of public usefulness. For the
first time, for example, verbatim tran
scripts were made available quickly
after the conferences, with the privilege
Of direct quotation.
It is questionable innovation,
incidentally, which President-elect Ken
nedy is proposing in the holding of "live"
news conferences before the television
cameras. Undoubtedly there will be no

circumstances can be translated into a
variety Of meanings-here and abroad.
To return to Mr.. Eisenhower's fare

mellow mood on the eve Of retirement.
Again, as he did on the previous evening,
he wished "GodSpeed" to his successor
and expressed. satisfaction at the
smoothneSS of the transition from one
administration to another His concern
that this periodic transfer of power
should be accomplished efficiently and
harmoniously was reflected in his
interesting proposal that it might be
wise to advance election and inaugural
dates, by constitutional amendment, to
give an incoming President more time
to prepare plans and programs for a
new Congress. OF his personal plans,
1t was in keeping also with the record
of his lifetime that he implied a willing
ness to serve Nation or party further If
it seemed in the public interest

correspondents were in mood respon-

Mr.. X. and Our Coil

Although 1t must remain constantly
on guard against the ever-present threat
of Communist SubverSion and yaggreS-
sion, the free world has reason to view
with great calm, if not contempt, Nikita
KhruShchev's assertion that the day is
mot far off" when Red totalitarianism
will conquer and rule the entire globe
After all, the ebullient Soviet
dictator has long since demonstrated
that his crystal ball is more than a
little bit clouded. At any rate, he has
looked at 1t in the past and seen things
in 1t that were not really there. Thus,
to cite but one example of his faulty
clairvoyance, he has repeatedly pre-
dicted that agriculture in the USSR
would by this time be equalling or ex-
ceeding our own countrys tremendous
farm output. Actually, however, the
Russian economy in that respect con-
tinues to lag far behind ours-enough
so to constitute potential crisis in view
of the fact that Russia'S fast-multi-
plying population is sharply out of pace
with the food supply.
But this failure of his agricultural
forecasts apparently has not discouraged
>Mr. KhruShchev from predicting that
the whole earth-including the United
States-will soon be under the mastery
Of communism. This will be brought
about, he has suggested, not by all-out
war, but by system Of peaceful CO.
existence" under which the Red totali-,
tarianS will win control Of everything
81 cn11fh a yncf
Throughout this mortal coil we call
our world. Presumably, the sheer charm
of Soviet agents will speed up the con-
quest, but if that is not enough, then the
military power Of the USSR-as Mr.. K.
has limited, with the subtlety of
sledge-hammer-will be used against
any capitalist" power (meaning espe-
cially our own country daring to resist
the forces of Communist liberation"
In setting forth this thesis in the
20,000-word speech that has just been
published in Moscow, Mr.. Khrushchev
has had some interesting things to say
about war. He does not like the idea Of
a big nuclear conflict. He does not like
it because he thinks it would be as bad
for the Soviet Union as for the United
States. Nor does he like "bruSh-fire"
fights that could lead to major ex-
plosion. Indeed, as far as shooting is
concerned, the only thing he seems to
favor is the liberation" struggle-as in
Algeria and Cuba-where the so-called
Revolutionary" forces, If not actually
in cahoots with the Kremlin, are strongly
inclined to serve it.
In that sense, of course, the wars
of liberation" are limited strictly to
those who fight only for the USSR.
Certainly, as mankind has seen, with
feeling Of shock and disgust, people In
countries like Hungary and Tibet
struggle for liberty only at the risk Of
being destroyed by the forces Of Com
munism. Naturally enough, Mr.. Khru-
shchev has said nothing about this and
his silence on it is supremely eloquent.

from the Republican Secre-
tary Of State of Indiana who

Even so, the Democrat ma
jority in the House of Rep

and refused to seat Mr..
Chambers with any privileges.
Only after one week Of

was he even given an office.

cases while ] was in Congress
and the contested member
was seated without prejudice
to either contestant and also
given the right to represent
his district until some action
was taken by the appropriate

Dealing With Russia

The theme of Bruce Cat,

tent correctly, was that had
there been some kind Of COM
promise prior to the Civil
War it might never have
happened.
I hope I am again reading
Mr.. Cation correctly when I
gather that he is saying that
in order to avoid q war that
will envelope civilization in

we should compromise with
Soviet Russia and come to
an agreement on doing
away with all nuclear weap-
ons.
I do not agree with Mr..
Cation that compromise is
what enables democracy to
work." A democracy cannot
survive when it compromises
with truth. freedom. honor,
courage and loyalty. Com
promise is only meant for
use in less important matters.

slavery and agreed whole

The deterioration Of the

Congress and the Executive
Branch follow the advice OF
highway and traffic engin-
eers, whose mission seems to
be to perpetuate and increase
the Jobs of such engineers;
who think in terms of motor
vehicles instead Of human
beings; and who promote an
endless series of projects that,
instead of solving our trans
portation problems, greatly
complicate. delay. and in
crease the cost Of electric
railway rapid transit con-
struction and operation.
In Washington, as else
where, highway and traffic
planners are dominating
general-purpose urban and
regional planning. with the
result that mass transit, in
stead of being used to help
guide the directions of pop
ulation movement, patterns
of growth, and the character
of economic development, is
expected to serve merely as
an overflow transportation
facility, with rapid transit to
be built only as a last resort.
AS evidenced by a recent
talk by Washington's high
way and traffic director be-
fore the Citizens Advisory
Council, many highway and
traffic engineers try to delay
rapid transit construction
and promote highway con-
struction by conveniently
overlooking the disadvanta-
ges of concentration on high
ways, and overlooking the
advantages of railways. Ac-
tually, a good transit system

Board Of Education ct al, is
not a constitutionally au-
thorized ruling Of the court.
and hence Is unconstitu-

within the jurisdiction Of the
State. The ruling is beyond
the authority granted. in
that the members of the
court have attempted to ex-
ceed their constitutional
power which is limited under
the provisions Of article III
Ito judicial power"
Georgia. one Of the original
13 Colonies, was a signatory
to the Constitution of the
United States. The power
which the Supreme Court
enjoys was conferred upon it
by these 13 original States.
Therefore. the Suprem e
Court is a creature Of the
States. No authority can be
found in the Constitution
whereby power was conferred
upon the court in the mat
ters relating to public edu-
cation.
The public school systems
in the States operate by vir-
tue Of their respective con-
stitutions. 1t is entirely up to
a State whether 1t will or
will not provide a public
school system. All that a
State has to do is to amend
its constitution, and 1t would
be out of the public school
business. What then would
be the position of the court :?
Would 1t have the authority
to compel a State to operate
a public school system? The
answer is that 1t has no such
power. This places the court
in a rather strange position.
While having no original
jurisdiction over the estab-
lishment of schools in a

control the schools once the
