While the facts are not available
to the public, the current debate
seems to be based on differences
of opinion over whether the United
States really is stronger than the
Soviet Union and an interpretation
of Soviet intentions.
Your opinion will have to be

BABY SITTERS
The term “baby sitter” belongs
to our age. The newer dictionaries
define a baby sitter as "a person
hired (usually for an evening) to
take charge of a child while the
parents are away.”
Has ft ever occurred to you that,
although popular today, the prac-
tice of employing baby sitters may
not be either wise or permanent?
In a recent article, Vance Pack-
ard. author of "The Hidden Per-
suaders” and ‘"Die Status Seek-
ers,” says, “I’m glad I was rais-
ed before the baby-sitters came in-
to vogue, because my family took
me to everything.”
He tells of going to church sup-
pers. band concerts, home talent
shows and aS kinds of "socials,”

and singing, the boys Indian wrest-

RULE'
NDEp,
libi
Denton has been well represented in leadership on
the important Texas Council of College Presidents.
During the 30-year history of the organization, three
of the five chairmen have been from Denton, and now
the latest chairman has a Denton background.
Thus, Denton feels a bit better about Dr. J. C. Matth-
ews’ voluntarily leaving the chairmanship after eight
years of hard work—work that often goes unnoticed
in Denton. Particularly in the last few years has the
. council been of great benefit to Tekas. Some of Dr.
Matthews’ actions, alone, have saved the state thous-
ands of dollars. One that immediately comes to mind
is the cooperative sale of bonds, on which the state
schools received better prices because all worked to-
gether instead of conducting separate sales.
Dr. F. L. McDonald, the new chairman who is presi-
dent of Lamar State, was director of the TWU journa-
lism department until his Lamar appointment came
in 1952.
Those who remember him know he will continue
the able leadership of the council as it has progressed
under Dr. Matthews and the other Dentonites of years
past—R. L. Marquis and L. H. Hubbard.

NEW YORK (AP)-One differ-

ica is in the realm of "clothing
loyalty."
Most men have it. Few women
do.
Most women like to get rid of an
old dress as soon as possible and
buy a new one. But men are Just
the opposite.
Where women love new cloth-

cling to a well-worn suit with the
same ardor they show the mem-

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 25
(AP) — A vicious jungle - bred
leopard, is captivity only a few
weeks, bolted from his 18-foot pit
at the Oklahoma City Zoo Satur-
day afternoon and caused near-
panic among scores of. visitors. Six
hours later — after a methodical
but fruitless search — the zoo di-
rector said the hunt would be call-
ed off until Sunday morning be-
cause of the danger of someone
being shot in the dark.
Chicago, said, “The Chinese will
soon lie the most powerful peo-
ple on earth; we had better be
friends.”
Eighty per cent of our teeners
approved of inviting Premier
Khrushchev to this country. Fif-
teen per cent were opposed and 5
per cent did not know.
Harley Hurlburt, 16, of Benning-
ton, Vt., said that by seeing this
country “Khrushchev gained more
respect for the United States, even
if he wouldn’t admit it." And 17-
year-old Robert Wilkeson. Poland,
Ohio, said. “He got a first hand
look at our country and saw how
strong we are."
However, there were some dis-
sents. Claude Cates, 17, of Cin-
cinnati, said, "Khrushchev’s visit
was a waste of money and time.
He won't tell the people what he
saw, and it just gave him an Idea
of what he is up against.”
Some 82 per cent of th boys and
girls agreed the invitation was no
sign that this country approves of
Khrushchev or his tactics. Said
Evelyn Erspeke, 17, of San Fran-
cisco, "He wouldn’t be as simple
minded as that.” Such a view,
added George Huebner "would be
gravely underestimating his intel-
ligence."
Helen Dohar, 17, of Youngstown.
Ohio, said. “I think we gave him
the impression we were trying to
get to know him better and even,
tually iron out the differences be-
tween his country and ours."
led. chased the girls and gorged
themselves on scalloped oysters.
He says that after four decades
these gatherings remain vivid in
his mind, perhaps because they
represent a way of life that is hard
to find in 1960.
“Everyone in that part of the
county, regardless of age or econo-
mic status used to go to these so-
cials,” said Vance: "the black-
smith, the storekeeper, the farm-
ers big and little. the farm hands
and all their children.”
Vance urges the revival of the
old-fashioned family parties for
greater happiness and benefit to

He said, “I’m for fewer cocktail
parties and for more parties that

earner. But they haven't yet found
a successful formula.
New labor law restrictions, the
unions say, have hobbled their
traditional organizing methods.
They are still running into anta-
gonistic public opinion resulting
from the labor racket scandals.
And in these times of relative
prosperity workers are not too re-
ceptive to organizing.
Despite all its troubles, the
merged AFL-CIO is sticking to-
gether. Many of the rival leaders
are still distrustful of each other.
But they feel more secure togeth-
er than divided.
Much of the merged organiza-
tion’s strength and resources are
frittered away in internal scrap-
ping. Fuzzy jurisdictional rules
dividing the types of work the
members of each union are sun-
posed to perform are constantly
being crossed with consequent re-
taliation.
The AFL-CIO has been working
on various plans for peaceful set-
tlement of these internal disputes,
but none has jelled.
Employers, perhaps fearful the
merged AFL-CIO would become
more powerful than it has turned
out to be so far. have tended to
close ranks and stiffen their re-
sistance to union demands..______
Labor leaders point, as ex-
amples of this, to the recent
lengthy steel and meatpacking in-
dustry strikes. Employers in the
railroad and airline industries
have built up big strike insurance
or mutual aid funds.
Concern over a worsening labor-
management relations climate led
George Meany, AFL-CIO presi-
dent, to ask President Eisenhower
to sponsor a high-level conference
of employers and union chiefs.
Eisenhower said he favored the
idea, and such sessions are likely
to take place in the coming weeks.
But observers are doubtful the
meetings will succeed. One of the
reasons is union labor's admitted
relatively weak position on the
work.”
"I certainly do!” I told her
firmly. ‘"Why, I couldn’t possibly
throw it away. I wore that suit
when I graduated from college-
only five years ago—and I only
bought it the year before that.

it’s got a lot of memories.”
mark, don't give up easily. Every
year since then I’ve had to fight
an endless tug of war to keep
my wardrobe.
My wife is always calling up
the Salvation Army man to come
take my old clothes, and I have
to meet him at the door and pay
him to go away empty-handed.
There is no real solution pos-
sible for this kind of marital war-
fare. And the reason is simple.
Women have no loyalty to old
clothes because they have the
idea that being up-to-the-minute
in fashion makes them look
younger.
Men, on the other hand, cling
to old clothing because the old
clothing makes them feel young-
er—and to heck with how it
makes them look.
And there’s the basic sex dif-
ference. A woman thinks she’s as
old as she looks, but a man al-
ways thinks he’s as old as he
feels.
Put him in a battered hat, a
ruined sports jacket, and a run-
down pair of shoes and he’s hap-
py. He may look like a walking
rummage sale, but in his heart
he’s just a carefree college boy
again.
A wife who insists on throwing
away a husband's old clothes isn’t
simply discarding his well-loved
past. She’s tossing away his
youth—and a man will fight for
that.

EDITORIALS
On Losing A Hotel And
Gaining Graduate Center
THE DENTON HOTEL situation has been in such a
muddle the last few months that it seems impossible
to make an intelligent survey of the problem as it now
exists.
Certain facts do exist now that the hotel is to be
leased to the Texas Woman’s University Foundation
which will use it as a graduate center and not as a
hotel.
These facts, elementary enough though they may
be, do exist and must be considered:
1. Denton for the first time in decades is with-
out a major downtown hotel, a civic necessity in any
city of more than 30,000.
2 TWU has gained an important addition to its
facilities, and not at the expense of Denton's losing
a hotel. TWU officials worked hard to continue the
operation of the hotel. But when a low-cost lease,
with eventual ownership, is involved, officials can
go only so far.
3. There appears to have been a misunderstanding
on whether Denton can support a 60-room downtown
hotel. It is true that hotel owner J. Newton Rayzor
of Houston has said the hotel was a money loser. But
it is not true that any hotel will automatically lose
money in Denton, just as it is not true that any other
business will or will hot lose money, period. Without
casting any aspersions on anyone or any organiza-
tion, many Dentonites sincerely feel that a 60-room
downtown hotel should be profitable here.
If the hotel was to close as a hotel, Denton is ap-
preciative of the use to which it will be made by TWU,
and Rayzor deserves the thanks of all of us in this
regard.
But the fact remains that Denton businessmen,
through the Chamber of Commerce perhaps, ought
to exercise every possible lead to make certain that
hotel or motel facilities are increased to care for a
growing city with two universities and many thousands
of visitors every year. The city already has several
excellent motels, including one newly opened. But
you should have tried to get a room in Denton last
weekend, for instance, if you think our hotel facilities
are adequate. Every one was filled up, and the South-
ern was still open.

NEW YORK (AP>—Patrolman

mouth on the mouth of the gasp-

Reilly went back to his beat.
Then came horrifying news: The
woman, Concetta Loris, 39, died
of meningitis, a highly contagious
disease that attacks the spinal
chord and brain.
That was five days ago Reilly,
33, was ordered to isolate himself
at home and report any headache,
fever, chill or stiff neck. He was
loaded with antibiotics.
So far, Reilly says: "I feel fine.
I should be on the job, but,
frankly. I'm sweating this thing
out.”
Doctors said meningitis symp-
toms usually appear within four
to eight days after exposure.
Reilly lives with his wife and
two children.

The more they get together, the
better off we'll be.
That’s the feeling of most teen-
agers toward globe trotting by
world leaders.
We wondered whether young peo-
ple think much good is accomplish-
ed by such travels as President
Eisenhower and Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev have been mak-
ing. The answer: an overwhelm-
ing "yes.”
Of nearly 800 youngsters asked
if they felt an exchange of such
visits would lead to better relations
between nations, 82 per cent fa-
vored the program. Only 14 per
cent were opposed.
Most young people agreed with
Carol Wiborg, 16, of Chicago, who
said, “If men put aside prejudices
and speak freely among each oth-
er, it will eventually lead to peace
More boys (88 per cent) than
girls (72 per cent)-favored a poli-
cy of international fraternization.
But both boys and girls agreed
that leaders of friendly and Cold
War nations alike should be invit-
ed to visit this country.
"By reasonable discussion," said
Loretta LoGrasso, 17, of Youngs-
town, Ohio, ,‘we can iron out dif-
ferences with other countries.”
A minority view came from 17-
year-old Mariann* Klinger of
Youngstown, who said such meet-
ings “will only cause more trou-
ble.”
Teen-agers would most like to
see French Premier Charles de
Gaulle visit the United States. Oth-
ers mentioned frequently w e re
Prime Minister Nehru of India
and Premier Fidel Castro of Cu-
ba.
PLAYING NO FAVORITES .
Also suggested for state visits
were Queen Elizabeth of England,
Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, Ben
Gurion of Israel and West Ger-
man chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
Evelyn Grimini, 17, of San Fran-
cisco, said, “It is easier to settle
disputes when nations know what
makes one another tick."
Some 57 per cent of the teen-
agers we talked to said it would
be a good idea to invite Egypt’s
Premier Nasser to this country
while 32 per cent were opposed.
Another 11 per cent had no opin-
ion.
"It might relieve some of the
tension in the Middle East if we
spoke to him,” said Jerry Tann-
hauser. 17, of San Francisco. And
Donald Harms, 18, of Farmington,
Mich., said, "I think any foreign
leader who wants to should be able
to see what America has done and
how America can help their coun-
try.”
However, George Huebner, 17,
of Amelia, Ohio, disagreed. He
said: “Nasser is a neutral who
will, if given the opportunity, ac-
cept aid from both sides and yet
only intend to help himself.” And
Anita Saverhof, 16, of Flushing,
N. Y„ said, "It does no good.
They come here with a closed
mind.”
As for inviting Red China’s Pre-
mier Chou En-lai to the United
States, 55 per cent of the young
people were in favor, 86 per cent
against and 9 per cent undecided.

Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP)-You have
yet to be told the facts about this
nation's defenses in relation to
those of the Soviet Union and it
is unlikely that you ever will be.
At the moment there is a fierce
debate in and out of Congress over
whether U.S. defenses are lagging.
President Eisenhower has said
our military posture is adequate.
In general the Republicans agree,
the Democrats disagree.
What you are being given is an
assortment of opinions based on
individual Interpretations of facts
which are top secret.
A democracy supposedly func-
tions best when the people are
told the whole truth and allowed
to make up their minds. This
theory collapses when applied to
military operations.
The military contend that to tell
the people the whole truth would
also inform the enemy. Thus, in
the final analysis the only way
the people can ever learn whether
defenses are adequate is when
they are tested in actual conflict.
Certain privileged congressmen
and assorted high ranking mem-
bers of the executive branch are
given briefings on what intelli-
gence officers believe to be the
enemy’s capabilities.
The defense debate arises from
interpretation of the known facts
and the intelligence estimates.
Intelligence work has been de-
scribed as a field in which 95 per
cent of the information is drawn
from careful study of unclassified
sources, 3 per cent room semi-
covert sources and about 2 per
cent from secret agents.
You may ask, then, why isn’t
the 96 per cent made public? The
military argument is that to tell
the enemy what we know is to
expose either our ignorance and
ineptitude, or allow him to evalu-
ate our intelligence operations.
The enemy will know wha in-
formation came from unclassified
sources, what could have been ob-
tained only from secret agents.
If the enemy learns we are over-
estimating his strength he may be
encouraged to gamble; that is, in-
dulge in a bit of international
blackmail.
If we are underestimating his
strength and tailoring our strength
to cope with what we believe to
be his weak potential, he may be
encouraged to attack.
In a war, intelligence officers
collect information on the enemy's
capabilities and leave the matter
of intepretation to the command-
ing general. If the information is
faulty the general’s deduction con-
cerning enemy intentions may be
equally faulty.
Though the Japanese were
clearly capable of attacking Pearl
Harbor, the United States guessed
wrong on their intentions in 194L
In World War II the Germans
were believed incapable of at-
tacking through the Ardennes For-

there is one kind of warfare you

By NORMAN WALKER
Associated Press New* Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP) - Labor
unions ar* in a slough. By their
own appraisal they’re stuck in the
mud of their own unsolved prob-
lems.
The disturbing thing — if there
is value in some measure of bal-
ance between labor and manage-
ment in America—is that organ-
ized labor’s leaders see their in-
fluence dwindling and don’t quit*
know what to do about it.
Their membership is slipping.
They still tolerate strength-sap-
ping feuding between unions. They
say employers are giving them an
awful kicking around. They claim
both political parties are so con-
servatively dominated that or-
ganized labor is practically a po-
litical orphan.
That is the agonizing analysis
of the state of organized labor by
union leaders themselves at a re-
cent series of winter meetings.
They are working on all the prob-
lems, but in a sort of half-hearted
way that lacks the old crusading
spirit.
Take organizing. When the rival
AFL and CIO merged in late 1955
one goal was a giant revival of
organizing activity.
Yet after four years of merger
the AFL-CIO, with an estimated
13% million members, reported
the other day that union mem-
bership hasn't kept up with the
growth of the labor force. About
six workers out of 10 are still out-
side the union fold.
What’s worse, from the union
standpoint, is that the complexion
of the work force is rapidly chang-
ing. New machinery is reducing
the number of production of
"blue collar” workers, while the
ranks of technical or “white col-
lar" workers are steadily grow-
ing.
Union organiziny is still geared
to the production worker and the
craftsman. The unions realize
they must use different terhniques
