House privacy or a low budget

ing Victorian mansion that used to grace
every town in America. And this is the
sense Of privacy ! mentioned earlier.
Countless thousands of Americans
spend their time looking for old homes that
they can remodel When asked why they
spend so much money on such projects,
they reply vaguely about the charm of
old houses. In part they're really talking
about the ample room and privacy in an
old home. fyou've ever played in musty,
mysterious attic during your childhood on
a rainy Saturday you know what l am
talking about.
Recently client and his wife came to
my Offices to talk about their house which
l am designing. / asked the wife what her
main desire was in the house. She said:
"Al want in this house is to be able to get
away from the kids once in WHILE
Peace and quiet for Dad
This is what the Module House offers.
When the father brings home work from
the Office and needs little peace and quiet
to get it done, he can have it by going into
his own module On the other hand, if the
children want to be off by themselves it is
easy for them to slip away into their own,
individual apartments. Yet the family still
is cohesive unit - when it wants to be!
Since all the modules are connected with an
electronic communication system mother
can call the family to dinner in an instant.
But if the parents want to give party
for their friends they can do so with ease
in the iving-roOm module, while the chill

A TIME FOR TIMIDITY?-The
Gallup Poll and other surveys of
public opinion tell us that Presi-
dent Kennedy is more popular
than President Eisenhower at a
similar stage in his first term.
When this great popularity was

The Presidents popularity needs

Is he popular because he does not
stir even a mild domestic cOntrO-
versy? That did not bother him
during the campaign when he
telephoned Rev. Martin Luther
King. Is it his handling of the
German crisis? Is the President
popular because there is, for the
moment. no other national figure

All these are possibilities and

not speak in the following manner

speak for myself: am a citizen of

Our Governor stood firm on the
tenth amendment of our much
abused Constitution which gives to
each state the right to rule on such
local matters as the Ole Miss stu
alton.
The consenus about Governor
Ernest Vandiver is that he has
sold out to the tyrannical Kennedy
clan. 1t has been rumored that
with the promise of a federal
position, he would not dare cross
fire with the Kennedys. The fact
that Dean Rusk is puppet for
the Harvard boys is evidence
enough that somebody in Georgia
sold out! Therefore, Governor
Vandiver can afford to ridicule
Governor Barnett and all tr u e
Southerners. In fact, he must do
so in order to receive the endorse
ment of Jack and Bobby.

teau, without losing ground.
While there is no doubt the
Democrats exaggerated the made
quacies of the Eisenhower Admin
iStration, this is not automatic
proof that the Kennedy appraisal
of the situation at home is now
correct-or adequate.
Using the word progressive"
as a substitute for liberal" hardly
conceals the fact that the Admin
istration has decided not to push
for its public school aid bill, in
Guiding teachers salary increases
or school construction. A college
aid program is needed, but that
does not meet the problem at the
secondary and elementary level.
To further delay the federal
school aid program means that an
other group of children from the
ages of 6 to Is will continue with
inadequate schooling from made
quately paid, UNDERMINED teach
ers in averaged and overcrowded
school structures.
This could become the monu-
ment of the Kennedy Administra-
ton.
The public school issue is only
one of many areas in which the
Administration has sounded re-
treat. The list grows longer al
most daily.
Perhaps of equal consequence is
the manner in which The White
House remained aloof from the
leadership fight in the House of
Representatives. Cong m a n
Richard Boiling of Missouri de-
served better of the Administra-
ton if only as reward for the
yeoman work he did last session,
at Sam Rayburn's side, in trying
to curtail the power of the House
Rules Committee.
But Boiling is by no means the
only victim of White House in
gratitude. The case of Chester
Bowles, to whom the Administra-
ton was deeply in debt, comes to
mind. The apparent maneuvering
to make McGeorge Bundy Secre-
tary of State is also subject of
some fascination among the Capt.
tabs hostesses and must bewilder
Secretary Rusk.

Top Quality Material
Most Of the Russian equip
ment sent to Cuba during the
past year was first-quality, ex-
pensive material. The offensive
missiles were Q late design. The
defensive antiSaircraft missiles
are better than anything the
United States has, and they are
part of an intricate communi-
cations, radar and control net
work that is fully as good as
our best.
Only a few spots in Russia
are as well defended.
Russia also put bombers,
MIG fighters, short range
ground and sea-based missiles
and great amounts of construc-
tiSn equipment. trucks, boats
and other equipment into Cuba.
The number Of Russian
troops in Cuba has never been
determined precisely. Estimates
within the Government range
anywhere from 5000 to 10000
men. The best present guess
is that 5000 to $4,000 Russian
soldiers still remain--a stable,
extensive force. larger than our
Berlin garrison.
The buildup was fast and
secret, and therefore was es-
pecially expensive.
Officials estimate that 1t took
the Russians 8 10 10 months
to plan and execute the buildup.
Some informed officials doubt
that the American armed forces
could have duplicated the
buildup In the same time.

Senator Proxmire, Democrat
Of Wisconsin. urged the adj
ministration yesterday to put
greater economic pressure on
Cuba despite Russia's removal
Of offensive weapons from the
island.
He said the closing Of United
States ports to ships which
carry goods to Cuba would have
a devastating economic i'm
pact on Premier Castro which
would give strength and teeth
to the security issues involved"
Boxing Castro In economic
ally would In no way conflict
with our security, but would
supplement our efforts in this
area.
Shipping Down
The Senator made public a
letter from the State Depart
meft reporting a marked de-
crease In free world shipping
to Cuba, but explaining that
the. United States is still de-
ferring q decision on a pro-
posed presidential order to
place restrictions on vessels of
other nations If they trade
with Cuba.
The Senator had written to
Secretary Of State Rusk to ask
why the October proposals to
close United States ports to
such shipping had not been put
into effect.
Frederick @. Dutton, assist
ant Secretary Of State, replied
that because Of the swift pace
Of events since midi October,
the proposed order is still I'M
der consideration.
Although all known missile
sites in Cuba have been dis
mantled. and Russia has stated
that all nuclear weapons have
been withdrawn from the is
land. important parts of the
october 27-2s understanding
remain to be carried out, Mr..
Dutton wrote.
I'VE consider that the deci-
sion to take further measures
against shipping to Cuba
should be deferred until the
larger security issues are set
tied.
Talks TO Continue
Recent events, as you are
well aware, have resulted in a
marked decrease In free world
shipping to Cuba. Discussions
with our allies counted in part
for this decrease. These talks

since most OF tine men ana
equipment spent the crisis
weeks doing pretty much what
they would have been doing
anyway-flying. sailing and
training-the price is expected
to total only q fraction Of that
paid by Kussia.
The small American invest
ment bought a great deal: New
initiative in the cold war, new
world prestige, more hemi-
spheric solidarity against Com
munist Cuba and the fright"
to maintain surveillance flights
over Cuba.
Russians Humiliated
Russia's billion-dollar invest
ment bought nothing but hui
miliation-not even q safety
guarantee for Cuban Premier
Fidel Castro, not even an
American concession in some
other East-West disputes.
The money lost represents a
severe blow to Russia, Amer
lean officials believe. The So
Wet Union has a tight economy.
1t cannot spend extra money
on defense without asking the
Russian people to make sacri-
fees.
The United States, on the
other hand, has a good bit Of
fat in its economy. The average
American will never notice the
cost Of Cuba.
The Cuban crisis probably
cost Russia more than she has
ever spent on foreign aid in
any one year. Foreign aid fig
ures are hard to come by, but
informed sources say Russia
spends much less than 81 bill

erations.

Loss to Railroaders
Last Friday the Cardinals
dropped a heartbresking 26-22
cliffhanger to Collinwood in an
independent clash at Shaw sta
dunn. Taskes scored three times,
twice on runs of over thirty
yards, but a pair of fumbles in
bad spots spelled doom for the
Cards.
Collinwood broke on top, aid
ed by a 15-yard penalty against
Shaw, scoring in the second
quarter as Eppie Barney went
in from the three. Theo Morrow
ran the two points.
March 81 Yards
The Cards took that and re-
yards to tie. Taskes ripped for
So yards through a giant open
ing and into the end zone to
put Shaw on the scoreboard,
and Bruce Matte rolled left and
flipped to Roger Peckinpaugh
for the tying conversion.
Collinwood retaliated with
63-yard drive, scoring when
Morrow went around left end for
