Dear Friends:
l guess the funniest story I've

Ousley Of Washington State was
selected as TEACHER OF THE

went along to see him as he
received the award, to meet the
President and to take along
some Washington state apples
for macaroni.
After the ceremony the par

The Press and Parties

A Long Gamble

President Kennedy, with the support
of his chief advisors and fiscal officers,
hold that we, at one and the same time,
can increase spending and reduce over

vent more initiation.

SPECTATORS are buying large

one or two lots on speculation,
but their total loss would be not
more than $4,000 even II the

that these companies sometimes
fail to put in water systems or
hard roads or other improve

considerable speculation in Fla.

lots have been bought and the

WHERE TO BUY?

say that anyone who buys a
small house and an adjoining
lot in a Florida city Of 20, 900
or less, in which he plans to
live, should make a good and
healthful investment. He, how
ever, should first drive down to
Florida and take a trip around
the state. The local bank Of any

Apparent Influence of Convention
No More Than Accident of Timino

The political news from
London these days must be
very pulling to most Ameri-
cans. AL sorts Of archaic
customs crept into view as
the members Of the Con-
sentative Party looked for a
leader to succeed Mr.. Harold
Macmillan. The search now
has ended with the selection
Of Lord Home. But the Brit
ish procedure Is probably as
confusing to an American as
the American nominating
convention is a mystery to
most Englishmen.
I'm recent years all Of us
have become familiar with
the problem Of presidential
disability. But In England
there is no similar awareness
Of the problem Of a Prime
Minister'S disability. 1t seems
clear in retrospect that Sir
Anthony Eden would never
have committed his mistakes
in judgment at the time of
the Suez crisis in 1856 if his
health had not been strained.
Mr.. Eden would have re-
signed at once If he had real
lied the extent Of his disa-
bility. There is no established
procedure under the British
system for replacing a Prime
Minister who is physically
unable to perform his duties.
OF course, a way would be
found to deal with an intol-
cradle situation; but unless
there was a stark physical
collapse, the Prime Minister
could be controlled neither
by the cabinet nor by the
party. Ramsay Macdonald,
for example. continued to act
as head Of the national gov
eminent in the great depres-
sion long after his clouded
faculties had become a politi-
cal scandal.
Mr.. Macmillan's decision
to resign without delay was
a tribute to his sense of
responsibility. 1t also dem
onstrated the dominance Of
the cabinet over Parliament
and Of the Prime Minister
over the cabinet. In recent
years Parliament has had
little to do with the selection
of a Prime Minister. The
revulsion Of feeling in the
House Of Commons in 1910
drove Neville Chamberlain to
resign and brought Winston
Churchill at last to the posi-
ton Of supreme power. But
this result was achieved in
time of war, and it was an
exception rather than the
rule. Normally, the fate of a
Prime Minister is not affect
ed by a vote in Parliament
unless it leads to a general
election.

now belong to a party leader

ToG Get New
A-Weupons

New and more effective nu-
clear ground weapons are being
sent overseas by the Army, the
Pentagon announced today.
Going in are more Sergeant
missiles, a new l75-millimeter
self-propelled gun and AN i'm
proved Honest John rocket.
Coming out are the Corporal
and Lacrosse missiles and the
280-millimeter guns.
The numbers of weapons
and battalion coming and 60
ing are roughly the same, but
the real point to the switch,
according to the Defense De-
partment, is that it will pro-
duce an overall increase in
the quality and quantity of
artillery fire-power."
Program PayOff
1t Is one payoff of the
Army's modernization pro-

toward the end Of the Essen
hover administration and
picked up speed under Presi-,

The Army will not miss the

which are being junked. They
were cumbersome and unre-
liable.
The old Corporal missile re-
quired six hours to set up,
fuel, fire. dismount and depart.
1t kept its large crew and COM
plicated equipment exposed. It
could be damned by the enemy.
Its replacement, the solid
fueled Sergeant, can be set up,
fired and moved in minutes. It
is jamproof.
Both the old and new
weapons have range of about

tributing thereby its full
share In the military de-
Tense of Western Europe. The
question really Is how long
the Bonn government can
depend on De Gaulle policies.
For unless a stable army Of
French troops is on active
duty. the Russians could
sweep across the northern
sector of Europe and overrun
France.
A helpful, but not neces-
sarily controlling, argument
used by the Government here
in talks with European lead
ers is that the United States
has been steadily losing gold
to pay for its military ex-
penses abroad and that the
imbalance in the outflow Of
gold is creating a serious
threat to the future of our
monetary system.
So the experimentation In
policy-making goes on. and
this week sees the first Of
several moves designed to
convince Western Europe
that America could withdraw
some of its troops and still
get its forces overseas

dramatic assurance of the
prompt aid that can be forth

point recently made by the
French president that the
United States cannot be de-

protect France? The makers
of foreign policy here will
have to reach some kind of
understanding with the Pres
ident of France before mill
tary policy can become de-
finitive and permit the ex-
penses Of the United States
to be materially reduced.

VADUZ, Liechtenstein.-
Here is a country containing
81 square miles. And here is
its capital of 5000 people.
And clinging to a crag di-
rectly over the town is the
castle of Prince Franz Joseph
II, last of the ruling Haps-
burgs. No one around here
seems to think it's all very
funny.
1t is easy to understand, Of
course, why the citizens Of
Liechtenstein should be con-
tented. They pay no taxes.
Idiotic collectors all over the
world gobble up every new
issue of Liechtenstein post
age stamps and the Prince
sees to 1t that there are plen-
ty Of new issues. BY thus
charging service rates with
out having to perform any
service, the Princes govern
ment is easily able to provide
the modest public works nee
essary for the 1000 bar
maids, 1000 walters, 5000
souvenir sellers, 1000 farm
ers and the 1000 children
too young to milk either
cows or tourists who comprise
Liechtenstein's 1900 pop
ulation.
All Liechtensteiners are
proud of their Prince. They
assure you he is very demo-
cratic" You keep hearing
this about most of the re-
naming royalty of Europe.
The people proudly keep
them in castles or palaces,
which are not good places
to nurture democratic atti-
tudes. And then the people
express pleasure that the roy
al estate hasn't ruined them.
Over on the French Riviera
there is Monaco, an indie
pendent principality tn at
makes LiechtenStein look
like Texas. 1t consists of one
half square mile, most Of 1t
covered with green felt. Its
ruling Prince is from the an
Gent family Of Grimaldi and
its ruling princess is the
daughter of an Irish con-
tractor from Philadelphia.
Last year when I was
through there everybody told
me how marvelously demo-
cratic and modest Prince
Rainier and Princess Grace
are. I would think it would
be easy to be modest If all
you presided over was half a
mile of crap tables. But ap-
parently I don't understand
the fine points of this royalty
business, for every time
Grace flashes her pretty
smile even the bored Inter-
national Set falls in a faint.

we're displayed by Clement
Attlee when Mr.. Churchill
went down to defeat in 1915.
A group Of powerful mem
bers Of the Labor Party
wanted to replace Mr.. Attlee
with Herbert Morrison. and
Mr.. Morrison encouraged
this move. A clause in the
constitution of the Labor
Party provides for the cleo
ton Of its leader by the
Members of Parliament at
the opening Of each new ses-
sion. Mr.. Morrison's support
ers argued that the parlia-
mentary group, enlarged by
victory in the national cleo
ton, should be given the
chance to choose its own
leader before Mr.. Attlee &C
cepted the Kings commits
sion to serve as Prime Min
lister. Mr.. Attlee regarded
this objection as utterly
frivolous. He thought his
conduct must be governed
not by the protests of dis
gruntled Members Of Parlia-
ment or by the complaints
of the party executive but
by the Kings invitation from
Buckingham Palace. This
certainly is the true con-
stitutional doctrine. The
Labor Party obeyed Mr.. Att
lees imperious command.
Incidentally, he was cor.
rect in recognizing that the
Crown still has an important
part to play in selecting the
Prime Minister. This part of
the royal prerogative, though
exercised with delicacy and
caution. has not yet withered
to a barren formality. The
King had a good deal to do
with the rejection of Mr..
Curzon as Prime Minister and
the selection of Mr.. Baldwin,
He followed Lord Asquith's
advice in asking Mr.. MacDo-
maid to form the first Labor
government even though
that party lacked a majority
in Parliament. without the
Kings influence there might
never have been a national
government to grapple with
