'People's Capitalism' Idea

r MAIN ATTRACTIONS of the exhibit were,; first, a' couple of
roams to shew how Americans lived in colonial times. • Then for
contrast thera was a whole prefabricated ail-steel rambler, com-
.piet« with automobile, TV and mechanical kitchen, r ' willi •
i 2 w®tween were a lot of big photographs, charts and show cards
i in big type. They explained hQw America advanced by greater

i "*peoples' savings in private business enterprises. *■ -«mnM*
► This exhibit was finally modified in many places and prepared
lor the international road. It has just had its flhst showing in
Bogota, Colombia, and it has done all right. ■> —
\ A xeplica of Lincoln's log cabjn has replaced the too-interior*
decorated colonial home of Ihe original exhibit. This substitution
makes the contrast with modern, prefabricated living all the greater.

TH( PRE-FAB HOUSE exhibit proved so popnlajr ip Qoaotq that
*t couldn't accommodate the crowds. This problem was solved by
taking the roof off the house and building a ramp around it at
cciling height. That let the people walk up and look, down into
every room and all its gadgets. ■ ,. •* y-««i «*.-
► Colombian schooh and colleges sent professors and classes-to
see the exhibit and write economic reports and themes about it. The
idea of "Capitolisjrto Democratico," as they called it, caused a lot
of -discussion and was the big hit of the trade fair. - «•
V Bogota ntfwapaiKrs and ladio also gave "People's Capitalism'1
?ood plugs. Said the newspaper "La Republica": ■ * ■ •—r •*
".Compared with the gigantic transformation brought about-by
Capitalismo Democratic-o . . . communism appears as an insignif-
icant process kept in motion only by useless cruelty." '
THIS WAS JUST the idea USIA wanted to put ove . . .
J The "People's Capitalism" exhibit will open next at a trade fait
In Mexico City. Then it will be sent on'tour to other trade fairs
ih Latjn America. ■ ■ -*-* * «>
W A smaller "People's Capitalism" exhibit which will take less floor
space and can be shown in small halls is now beine out together
by USIA for'use in other "parts of "the world.
k A typical suggested showcard says:
I "Karl Marx predicted that the rich would get richer and the
poor would get poorer. But history proves that did not happeh lit"
the U.S.A. On the contrary, the percentage of the very.Tich and the
very pbor has steadily declined while.the middle class has grown
larger and larger . . . .Aroeriup is becoming classless." , . * t4nL
► That's one of the main themes of the "People's Capitalism" idea,
and its pitch to block communism.

that says the state of Texas
believees the. Spprenv' Court has
gone too far," he added.
"We don't want nine men—or
one nvin—to say, 'I am the Con-
gress....! aVn the law," Chapman
said;
The resolution called UDon other
states to join in passage of a con-
stitutional amendment reaffirm-
ing States' Rights and declares
Texas' "firm" intqntion to take all
appropriate measures honorably,
legally and constitutionally avail-
able" to fight fedenal encroach-

"The state uf Texas," the reso-
lution said, J'is concerned over a

nessee has cited certain citizens
who were not before the court

vinced that ri£ a - judge has such
authority, then a citizen of Texas
without violating any- statutory
enactment could be punished
without! being- indicted by a grand
jury or being given -the right to

The resolution said "decent de-
cision by the Supreme Court
based "upon a foreign and strange
concept called 'modern psycho-
logical knowledge' constitute a de-4
liberate, palpable ahd" dangerous
concept of government...."
A ivickage "of nine bills .was filed

group of East Texas - lawmakers

in both the 100 and 220.
He made a tour of Australia
and New Zealand in December of
1955 and Jnnuary of 1956 and
racked up 12 victories in sprint
events, against no defeats.
The past season, besides his
three Olympic gold medals, Mor-
row captured national champion-
ships in the NA1A 100 and 200
meters, NAAU 100 meters, and
the NCAA 100 and 200 meter
events. His time of 20.6 in the
NCAA 200 is a collegiate record.
Triple Medal Winner
Bobby is the first triple gold
medal' winner in the Olympics since
Jesse Owens in 1936, and he equal-
led one of Owens' marks and broke
another. He tied the 10.3 time in
the 100 meters, although turning
in only a 10.5 in the finals. His
20.6 took one-tenth of a second
off the, 200 meters around the
turn. His third medal came for
anchoring" the 400 meter relay team
to a new world record in that
event in the time of 39.5
The past year, Morrow won 23
races and lost but one, the loss to
Dave Sime of, Duke. Bobby reveng-
ed that defeat in the NCAA by
whipping Sime in the 100 meters.
The Duke star pulled up lame in
the 200 meters. This won-loss rec-
ord does- not include conditioning
and pre-Olympic warm-up events.
Bobby has been named Sports-
man of the Year by Sports Illus-
trated, Southwestern of the . Year
and Texas Amateur Athlete of the
Year by the Texas Sportswriters
Association, and has been kept in
a constant rush attending jtporta
banquets all. over the country for
other honors".

Mad Bomber May
Be Held Insane
NEW YORK <«!> — Leading
psychiatrists and legpl expert;
feit assured today that George
Metesky, the captured "mad
bomber of Manhattan," will be
adjudged insane and committed
to a ment.ul hospital, for his ad
mitted planting of 34 home-made
pipe bombs since 1940.
The consensus was that Metes
ky, the mild-mannered, amiable
man "who no one ever knew,"
would be found incapable of un-
derstanding the charges filed
apviinst him for his crimes which
injured 15 persons and spread
alarm over this city.
Psychiatric tests of the 53-year-
old Waterbury, Conn., bachelor,
begun Wednesday at Bellevue
Hospital, are expected to take
,-ibout three weeks. If Metesky is
found insane under the . law, Belle-
vue doctors will recommend that
he be committed to a mental hos-
pital rather than tried on the charg-
es. '

of money but it may recniire u lot
of money to meet this challenge,"
he said. "And we must meet it.
Compared with the possible dan-
gers, $200 million is not n high
price." - - -- • "
First Step ! *
A favorable vote by the House
committee would be the first step
toward getting the resolution em-
bodying the Eisenhower doctrine
before the .full House for action,
probably next week.
In the Senate, the President's
plan is being considered jointly by
the Foreign Relations and Armed
Forces committees which recalled
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles for questioning on the pro
posal.

Oil Field Worker
HUMBLE, Tex. <U.R>— A 35
yeav-old oilfield roughneck hit his
girl friend in the mouth Wednes-
day night, and fell dead under a
barrage of 14 shots from an auto-
matic rifle.
The shooting occurred at the
Pecan Grove tavern, owned and
operated by Mrs. Rose Lee Meek,
39,' who told officers the victim,
Johnnie E, West, told her he was
"through,"
"He grabbed me by the hair
when I didn't move as fast as he
wanted after he told me to pack
his clothes," she said. "Then he
told me he was ffoing to kill me."
Mrs. Meek' said West "hit me
in the mquth."
She said she grabbed up the .22-
caliber automatic rifle and "I told
him not to come any closer," she
said. "He took a step and I fired."
