WASHINGTON (AP)-AU of a
sudden the Red Chinese are put-
ting on their Sunday-go-to-meet-
ing clothes and an attitude of but-
ter-won’t-melt-in-our-mouths.
Two things have happened in
connection with this, one realistic
and the other hard to believe.
The realistic one:
Ever since the Korean War the
American government has refused
to recignize the Chinese Commu-
nists as the rightful government
of mainland China and has op-
posed a seat in the United Nations
for them.
There has always been some un-
reality about this, since the Red
Chinese not only control mainland
China but appear to be strong
enough to keep on controlling it
into the unforeseeable future.
The American position, in try
ing to ignore the dominance of
the Red Chinese on the mainland,
has always been a diplomatic
maneuver intended to force the
Red Chinese into being less belli-
gerent.
Still, just because this has been
the American position, the United
States has excluded Red China
from any talks about world dis-
armament, even though any dis-
armament agreement without Red
China would be a farce.
Nevertheless the United States,
with four of its Western Allies,
was going ahead with plans to
meet with the Soviet Union and
four Soviet-bloc countries in mid-
March to seek agreement on
world disarmament.
the JOKE
Then a little over a week ago
the Red Chinese made it clear
just how much of a joke it would
be for the rest of the world to
exclude them from an agreement.
They did it simply:
They said they would not abide
by any agreement which they
didn't help negotiate or sign. The
State Department quickly agreed
this was true and said if the dis-
armament talks show progress
Red China should be brought in.
ing Japanese politician said the
Red Chinese foreign minster,
Chen Yi, told him the Communist
Chinese have decided never again
to use force against Formosa’s

The Minimum Wage Scale
Never Will Be High Enough
THERE ARE TWO GOOD. WAYS to get a salary
raise-become better and more efficient in your pres-
ent position or get a more advanced job.
But this election year we are hearing more and more
proposals for the government’s giving a wage increase,
when the federal government decrees a wage increase
for just about everyone, it’s a different kind of raise.
It does little good.
Crocks of crocodile tears will be shed in this ses-
sion of Congress as efforts are made to boost the mini-
mum wage from $1 to $1.25. It will be said that $1 an
hour is not a “living wage,” and it isn’t. Nobody could
support a typical family of 4.3 persons, or whatever
the figure is today, on it.
The problem is clear, but the solution is murky. For
a $1.25 minimum wage leads automatically to a $1.50
one, then a $1.75 one through the years. And in each
case it will be quickly recognized by all that the mini-
mum, be it $1 or $5 an hour is not a “living wage.”
This always will be true, because when the newest,
least skilled hand in the place gets a 25 cent raise, a
similar raise is required for the man working next
to him, who has a smidgeon more skill or a bit of sen-
iority. And this makes mandatory a wage boost for
the man next to him, until you have a chain reaction
of wage increases throughout the economy.
But all this produces no more to be bought, and
prices quickly adjust upward. Meanwhile, some
folks’ income will be lagging—those on pensions, city
and school payrolls and the like. They’ll be able to
buy less, which will mean fewer jobs at any wage. All
levels of government will be hit by the price increases,
which will mean more tax increases.
In other words artificially boosting everyone’s pay
would mean another round of dreaded inflation.
We’ve already proved this several times. (Remember
when the minimum was 25 cents?) And those at the
bottom of the economic totem pole are about as poorly
off as before. •
' Fortunately, few Americans stay long in that posi-
tion. Today’s minimum goes, largely, not to the family
breadwinners, but to kids just out of school, to new
workers in their first jobs and to those who supplement
the family income.
There’s always room on the next higher rung of the
employment ladder. Our people are climbing all the
time.
the states with a percentage of
69.7. Florida was second with 62.9
per cent. Other states which show-
ed more than 25 per cent growth
(see accompanying map) includ-
ed Arizona, California, New Mex-
ico, Maryland and Delaware.
California had the largest nu-
merical growth—up from 10,586,-
000 in 1950 to 14,284,000 in 1958.
If this rate of Increase continues,
California will pass New York as
the most populous state by 1964.
The four states that lost popu-
lation during the first eight years
of the decade were Arkansas, down
8.3 per cent, West Virginia, down
two per cent, Vermont, with a de-
crease of 1.5 per cent, and Missis-
sippi, which showed a one per
cent loss.

The basic difference between the American creed
and the communist creed is in the differing attitudes
towards people.
Where we believe that the individual human is wor-
thy of respect, an entity to be valued, communistic doc-
trine strives toward the supremacy of the state and the
subservience of the people to that supremacy. Lenin,
the founder of the Soviet state, recognized that a doc-
trine of this calibre must be imbued early into the hu-
man mind or that human, in time, will work out a better
plan for existence. Lenin said, “Give us a child for
eight years, and it will be a bolshevik forever.”
He came close to the truth. This age is the impres-
sionable one. This is when the world is coming into
focus in the young brain, and values, truths and other
basic foundations of future life are being detey mined.
At this age in America, our young people are form-
ing those convictions through family environment,
school training, religious education and outside con-
tact. That outside contact is usually the gang. And
here is where a movement which this year is 50 years
old, has offered guidance to some 33 million Amer-
icans since 1910—the Boy Scouts of America. Almost
1,000 of them are in Denton County scouting now.
Scouting takes a boy’s natural gang and converts it
into a unit with uniforms, adventure and adult leader-
ship. Thus, it “fills out” the life of a boy. During his
years from 8 to 18 Scouting will offer him training, ad-
venture and moral background.
Surely, if Scouting can help this number of young-
sters we should stand up and salute it this year on its
50th anniversary. We offer our congratulations and
support in hopes that the next 50 years will be as pro-
ductive and effective for America as the last 50.

Vice President,
Health Insurance Institute
During the 1960s virtually all
the older people in America will
have available one or more forms
of protection against the costs of
health care.
This great social objective can
be achieved through the combin-
ed efforts of business, labor, the
medical profession, insurance or-
ganizations, the community and
the public as represented by gov-
ernment.
And all organizations and agen-
cies striving to get the job done
will, in this first new year at the
decade, intensify their pursuit of
the goal.
Lifting the economic barriers of
uncertainty regarding medical
care will be accomplished in a va-
riety of ways. Many already are
being aggressively developed and
promoted; others will be initiated
in the near future.
The cooperative attack on the
problem will move toward two
