Understanding Needed Asked how he proposes to get his Pentagon reorganization proposals through Congress, President Eisenhower came out fighting for perhaps the first time in his long exposure to the institution known as the White House press conference. Of his Congressional opposition, the Commander-in-Chief said: "I don't care how strong they are or how numerous they are. Here is something for the United States. Here is something that is necessary." More specifically, he continued: "I would get onto the air as often as the television companies would let me on. I would keep it up until I would have the people of the United States understanding that it is their pocketbook first of all; more than that it is their safety." This, we think, is a splendid idea, and everyone should be in favor of it. At the moment, we doubt if even the gentlemen in Congress are too clear on the President's plan. In all probability, many of the solons share the public impression that the recommended changes will make a czar of the Secretary of Defense and office boys of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; further, that it will destroy the spirit and morale of the military by reducing soldiers, saliors, marines and flyers to the colorless level of Defense Department employees wearing some sort of nondescript, but universal, uni form. The President derided the "czar" idea and spoke of the "built-in constitutional guards that are there." He also referred to the income tax of 0000 as an example of the "horror and alarm expressed about any reforms." He did n- mention, however, that those safeguards have failed to keep the income tax rate within the one percent barrier originally promised, that it has climbed to 00 percent for all corporations and as high as 00 percent for individuals, that it has grpym from an innocuous levy to a devouring monster that threatens the survival b_ the American free enterprise system. When he picked the income tax as an example to quie' our fears, the President made an unhappy choice. And when, recently, he outlined the authority he would give the Secretary of Defense  -  make and execute strategic plan* with unified commands "responsive completely to the decision of the Secretary"  - President Eisenhower doubtless made this appointive official sound a little czaristic. All in all, it will be an excellent idea for the President to take to the air waves and give us - and the Congress -  a better understanding of just what his Defense reorganization really means. In all probability the TV networks will consider it a public duty to supply the time - and if ,not the taxpayers will regard it as a trifling expense in the fact of the fateful decisions involved. Overseas Aid Really Works In this year of missile races and summit conferences, it is easy to forget that day by day human contacts ai still'the most effective source of international understanding. . This is the way the YMCA operates around the world. Its 00,000 centers in 00 countries and territories demonstrate for democracy every day of the year. It keeps open a regular world-wide channel for the exchange of ideas anc techniques. Despite wars, revolutions, economic upheavals, and atomic age tensions, the YMCA has steadily extendea its world-wide network and become a strong force for world brotherhood. In the past seventy years, the most important factor in building this global YMCA has been YMCA world Service. This program of the United States and Canadian YMCA's has helped to establish YMCA movements in 00 countries. Today, in 00 countries, YMCA World Service works in partnership with.local community leaders to help people to help themselves. All over the world, the YMCA man's front lines in the fight against disease, poverty, and ignorance which afflict millions of young people. World Service is overseas aid that really gets results. It develops the individual  -  and indirectly his nation. It gives young people the skills necessary for developing self- confidence. The YMCA deserves your help in its continuing worldwide effort to build youth's spiritual and physical health. Yiour North Canton YMCA Community Building is now joining with other North American Y's to support the sixty-ninth year of this work. We urge you to give gen erously to its World Service campaign. A Break For The Poor It is strange how much discrimination still exists against the poor. Only 00 states out of the 00, according to an article in the Journal of the American Judicature Society, make proper provision for lawyers for the needy brought into court. Even in these 00 the attorney appointed by the court may be inexperienced, or Jack the time for handling the case. In seven states there is no arrangement for free lega0 counsel except in capital cases. In nine others the court may appoint or not, as it sees fit. In 00 the court must appoint if the defendant asks for it. However, even there the judge is not required to notify the defendant that he has this right. Tax-supported public defenders, or privately operated legal aid societies, supported by philanthropy, would redress this injustice. The provision for public defenders, as logical as that for public prosecutors, goes b_jck to^.0000. Yet in all those years it has been adopted by only 00 cities and counties.
