NO COMMENT

Washington. Jan. PA major
complaint against President Ken
nedy's fiscal policies is the fact
that he proposes to spend virtual
ly every dollar Of increased gov
eminent revenue that he fore
casts for next year.
This is right In line with The
famous law developed by Prof.
Parkinson that government ex-
penditures rise to meet income. "
In other words whenever ad-
ditional revenue ii In sight this
serves to trieger plans for ad-
ditional spending.
But why many members Of
Congress- are asking pointedly
can't some Of the increased re
venue be utilized for the tax re
duction that is so badly needed
to provide capital for the expan-
sion and modernization of the
nations industrial plant?
Or why can't some be utilized
for reducing the federal debt.

mical total Of nearly $500. O0O.-

To request elevating the debt
ceiling to an unprecedented
$303. OOO. OOO. 600?
Members of the congressional
economy bloc also are opposing

posals for further increases in

The periodic butchery which
goes on in the Congo is a meas
IRE of just how far short such
emerging nations are from
civilization.
For. strange as il may seem
in the abstract. the very manner
in which warfare is practiced
has come to be an index Of
civilization. Wars necessarily are
violent affairs. but even war i'm
poses some obligations on belli-
gerents to observe the principles
of humanity and chlvalry.
What has been taking place in
the Congo. and in other areas
Of the dark continent, clearly de-
mOnstrates the unreadiness Of
most African tribes for entry in
to the family of nations repre-
scented by the United Nations.
Tragically. there is some evil
dence that the UN forces them
selves have in some instances
been guilty of rather barbaric
conduct. But this reinforceS,
rather than lessons. the content
ion that proper attention should
be given to those rules Of inter-
national conduct generally de-
scribed as the rules Of land
warfare"
Such rules have come into gen.
eral acceptance over a long per-
iod of years. They relate espec-
tally to warfare between belli-
grent nations -but. even in in
stances of civil war. such as
that which flares sporadically
in the Congo, similar rules ap-
ply.
Here. for example, is what the
Geneva Conventions of l949 pre-
! scribed with respect to armed
conflict NOT of an international
nature:

Era OF Private Banking
The big men of Wall Street
were originally such men as
Daniel Drew, jim Fisk, and Jay
Gould, who played with the
stocks of the leading railroads
of that day. There was then no
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, or State Railroad Commits
sion. or Securities and Exchange
Commission. It was free for
all until Mr.. J. P. Morgan
came into the picture and
brought order out of chaos. Mr..
Morgan was a very wonderful
man. After he had accumulated
money for himself, he assum-
ed control of the investment sit
uation in general. Those who
followed his order and general
ship usually prospered: those
who did not often fell into bank
ruptcy.
The second era was that of
trusts, organized by certain
famous lawyers under the laws
of Delaware. These were the be-

as holding companies" but they
were unsupervised. Among the

StOcky Bowlers Can Learn
From Bluth and Gibson

Stocky bowlers can take
heart from the fine records of
Ray Bluth and Thurman Glib
son, These two bowlers are
both heavy-set, and both use
similar styles in compiling their
winning records.
Both hold the ball out to the
right a bit in their stance. This
allows them to let the ball drop
straight down and back into
the backSwing without brush
ing the body.
Another tip for the stocky
bowler is to let the right
shoulder drop a bit more than
normal as he swings back, as
we illustrate.
This win permit a longer arc
In the armswing. Because of his
shorter arms, a stocky bowler
will need this longer arc. But
make sure the shoulders are not
pulled off-line.
