touched on oratory in the
Senate which sees little of it
today partly because who
wants to crate before a

Senator Engle and Truman's
Secretary of the Treasury
John Snyder, both agreed
that a Republican, Senate
Minority Leader Everett
Dirksen, is the Senate's fin
est orator today.
CLARE ENGLE said he
once became fascinated with
the hypnotic effect of oratory,
particularly Hitler's, and he
played recordings of his
speeches to determine what
1t was. He had a strident
voice, but there was a ca
dence and pitch to his words
that could spellbind thou
sands. Then once when he
was a Representative and
was in the House Cloakroom,
he heard this same compel
ling cadence from the floor
Of the chamber. He rushed
in to see who was speaking.
It was Dewey Short, form
er Congressman from Mis-
souri,, who had a superb
rhythm of speech and method
OF increased pitch that
riveted attention.
did you ever think what
one voice with the hypnotic
power of Hitler might be able
to do on television with 40
million listeners?" he asked.

feet over 600 persons in Jack
son County now receiving sur
plus food, Welfare Director Ed.
ward Golf said today.
Goff estimated that about 2OOO
persons are now receiving sur
plus food and that the directive
will make over 900 of them in
eligible.
Under the ruling, eligibility for
food is established by household
instead of by individuals as has
been done in the past.
Golf said the hardest hit group
will be aged persons living with
relatives who are not eligible for
food.
For example, Golf said, some
parents who live with their child
rem have been receiving food but
if the entire household is not
eligible under the new directive,
they will be cut off the program.
Golf said the directive will be
put in affect over a period Of
time as individuals are due for
recertification.

Palmer Opposes
Any Big Change
In Tax Program

Jackson County'S senator
elect, Merle Palmer, says that
he is opposed to any major
change in the states taxation
program.
Speaking before the Gulf Coast
Municipal Association in Pass
Christian, Monday night Palmer
said that cities should be op-
posed to any change in the col
lection Of the state sales tax.
Palmer said it is rumored the
state sales tax will be increased
by one cent and that city sales
taxes will be outlaWed but cities
will be reimbursed for t h e r
share.
He warned that the state could
shave the city'S share or cut it
out entirely.
Palmer said the budget COM
mission report which will be re-
leased Dec. 2 will estimate that
19 million additional tax dollars
will be needed during the next
two years for the common edu-
cation program.
However, Palmer said, by cut
ting expenses in state agencies
and with additional tax from in
creased business activities, the
need can be met with out in
creasing taxes.

Scranton Wants
Rocky & Barry
Leave Pa. Alone

WASHINGTON (UPD - Gov
William Scranton, eager to take
an uncommitted Pennsylvania
delegation to the Republican
national convention, is making
personal appeals to Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R-Ariz., and Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller whose sup
porters might upset the Scran-
ton plan.
Scranton had planned to fly
to Washington today to talk with
Goldwater but the conference
was called off because of the
death of Goldwater's mother-in-
law in Arizona. Scranton has
scheduled a meeting in New
York Thursday with Rockefel-
Ter.
Scranton, a favorite son can
didate, has disavowed any talk
that he is a serious candidate
for the nomination but is re-
garded as a possible dark
horse.
His request for a meeting
with Goldwater came after
hackers of the senator began
making threatening noises in
Pennsylvania about trying to
line up convention delegates
pledged to him. Goldwater's po-
Sition, announced at a Pitts
burgh news conference last
week, is that he is not a candi-
date now and has no RESPONSE
bility for discouraging political
activity by his friends. But his
position has not notably slowed
his enthusiastic supporters.
Scranton told a group of Re
publican women Tuesday night
in Harrisburg, Pa, that COP
convention delegates should
stay uncommitted so they can
keep unified and do a job at
