Political Automatons
As the President tours the Far East, the world
spotlight will be not only on him but on the Com-
munists who seek to embarrass, humiliate, and even
endanger him.
The world knows Mr. Eisenhower to be a man
of inestimable decency and good will, sincerely dedi-
cated to the quest for peace. His previous tours of
Asia, Europe, and South America have been per-
sonal and American triumphs.
Only the calculated frenzy of well-organized
fanatics, guided now from Peiping and Moscow, can
make his current trip seem less a triumph than
others.
Yet the Communists who are bent on making
trouble for the President will themselves be the
big losers in the end.
The form they choose for their opposition to his
visit and to the newly concluded U.S.-Japanese
security treaty is a most revealing commentary
on the Communist way.
Watch the films of Japanese and other demon-
strations. They carry you back to the heyday of
Hitler and Mussolini.
The voices rise in unison. The bodies move in
unison. Up go the arms, and then you hear the
memorized shouts. These are not humans, but poli-
tical automatons stamped out in Moscow, pitiful
figures mechanically doing the leaders’ bidding by
remote control.
In the Twentieth Century, the riot, the street
uprising, has come in many places to symbolize the
upsurging of downtrodden people hungry for inde-
pendence.
But the demonstrations staged under Commun-
ist direction are the very opposite. They degrade
and humiliate those who participate. They have
nothing to do with freedom and very little to do
with humanity.
Fortunately for the West, Communists are their
own worst enemies. Only fools would parade before
the world as robots and imagine that by this means
they would win converts to their barren, ruthlessly
controlled existence.
They seek to discredit Mr. Eisenhower, the
legitimate Japanese government and the security
treaty. They will, in fact, only mar further com-
munism’s own crumbling image.
A short time ago Senator Dirksen said his
office had received ten thousand letters concerning
the Forand bill, which would give government-paid
medical, hospital and nursing home services to ben-
eficiaries of the Social Security system. He added
that sentiment ran three to one against the proposal.
Railway Age reports that the annual cost of the
wage and other payroll benefits demanded by the
railroad brotherhoods is computed by the carriers
at $765,641,000 a year, or about $1,010 per em-
ploye. This is more than the railroads have earned
in any of the past three years.
Thought for the D5y
When he is borne to the grave, watch is kept
over his tomb. —Job 21:32.
To the Christian death has redemptive signifi-
cance. It is the portal through which we enter the
prsence of our Lord. —Hilys Jasper.

Men Marry
In Order to
Live Longer
Hal Boyle wondered aloud
this week why women marry,
considering what it does to
them. Today his wife takes up
the question of what happens
to husbands after marriage.
By FRANCES BOYLE
NEW YORK Iff)—There is no
doubt about why most men mar-
ry. They simply want to live
longer.
A man doesn’t marry as the re-
sult of an overwhelming emotion.
He marries because of an over-
whelming instinct—the instinct of
sel f-preservation.
He likes to -think he is doing a
girl a favor by putting a wedding
ring on her finger. Actually he is
doing himself a favor. That ring
is shaped like a life-saver. And
that’s what matrimony is to most
men—a life-saver.
All statistics, show that the best
life insurance a man can get -to
add years to his zest—if not zest
to his years—is the right kind of
wife.
Married men do last longer
than bachelors. They may com-
plain they are working them-
selves to death, but their bachelor
buddies play themselves to death
much sooner.
Of course matrimony does do
some unforgiving things to hus-
bands. In time their teeth get
fewer, their hair falls out, and
their stomach looks like a basket-
ball they can’t quite catch up
with. But it has its compensa-
tions, too.
Before marriage the only exer-
cise a man gets is paying his
bills. After marriage he gets
twice as much of this kind of ex-
ercise.
Before marriage he is so lonely
he talks to himself. After mar-
riage he doesn’t have to talk at
all, he can improve his mind by
just listening.
Before marriage he is simply
one of the boys. After marriage
he is much more of a man—us-
ually from 30 to 40 pounds more.
Before marriage he lives from
hand to mouth. After marriage he
always knows where his next
meal is coming from—whether he
likes it or not.
Before marriage he gets weary
of telling his own jokes. After
marriage he has someone tc
share this misery.
Before marriage he never knew
what worried him. After marriage
no longer has this gnawing doubt.
He is sure.
Before marriage he never knew
why he was always broke the day
after pay day. After marriage he
can think of a hundred reasons.
Before marriage he didn’t know
enough to come out of the rain.
After marriage he isn’t allowed
to go out into the rain—unless he
puts on his rubbers and carries an
umbrella.
Before marriage he was help-
less and hopeless. But after mar
riage he is only holpless.
Considering all these advantages

It’s a wonder why so many single

made-up woes of wayward hus-
bands.
The truth is that the younger a
man marries, the longer he is like-
lier to live. Or, as even a grouchy
husband admits, “At least it
seems longer.”
★ EDSON IN WASHINGTON ★
You Auto Read About the
Lab Boys' Highway Plans
BY PETER EDSON ! ' \ '<
Washington Correspondent [ £ ’
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON— (NEA)—With 60 million cars and 11 million
trucks cluttering the highways today, the prospect is for 110
million motor vehicles at large by 1975.
Unless they pave the whole country—thereby solving the farm
surplus problem at the same time—the outlook is that everything
will come to a complete stop in one terrific traffic jam. If this
happens in 15 years, it will be no surprise.
THINGS ARE SO BAD that National Academy of Sciences has
recommended through its 40-year-old Highway Research Board
that another 34 million dollars be spent over the next five years
to find out what’s wrong.
State highway officials and scientists listed 101 projects, then
boiled it down to the top 19.
Of the 19, however, 14 deal with building highways better. Only
5 deal with building better people who’ll try to find their ways
over the highway mazes without going crazy.
To many, this emphasis will be all wrong. There’s nothing the
matter with the ramps and interchanges the engineers build now.
They’re as complicated as can be.
But if scientists could just do something to improve the crazy
galoot ahead, or behind, or that passes you doing 80, then science
would triumph.
THERE IS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PROBLEM of bumps caused
by riding over cracks between sections of superhighway.
Did you know that, at certain speeds, those bumps set up
harmonic vibrations? They increase the highway loads, wear out
your car faster, and do damage to your giblets.
Long-haul truck drivers found this out the hard way. So
scientists recommend spending a half million bucks to see if they
can find a mathematic expression which will describe the bump-
bump-bump-bump-bump relationship.
Another project is to have accidents investigated by three-man
teams consisting of doctor, psychologist and highway engineer.
The doctor would presumably repair the car.
The psychologist would determine what made two mental in-
competents try to drive in the same lane in opposite directions at
140-mile-an-hour impact speed.
The engineer would then try to redesign the road so it wouldn’t
happen again.
There’s another interesting project in electronic control of motor
vehicle speed and direction.
That’s to design an automatic pilot that would be 100 per cent
reliable, which no human ever will be.
It would let people stay at home and the autopilots could
demolish each other.
FANCIEST PROJECT IS TO BUILD a driving simulator. The
idea is to bring all possible weather and traffic conditions right into
the laboratory.
With a simulator, including television and sound track, the
lab lads could make drivers relax behind a dummy wheel.
They could be tested under varying conditions and stimuli.
These stimuli would be fed to a computer in different combina-
tions. This approach offers great possibility, say the scientists,
for improving driver comfort and safety, and for increasing
highway capacity. There’s the catch. That’s what they’re after.
They’re just trying to make highways more" foolproof so they
can crowd more automobiles onto the available highway mileage.
And it shouldn’t be allowed.
IT OCCURS TO ME
VFW AUXILIARY PLAYS
IMPORTANT SERVICE ROLE
By LIN MILLS
Taylor Press News Editor
By MRS. VIRGIL PLOWMAN
President, VFW Auxiliary
The Ladies Auxiliary to the
Veterans of Foreign Wars is an
organization composed of moth-
ers, wives, widows, sisters and
daughters, who are citizens of
the United States, of men who
have served overseas in the
Armed Forces of the United
States, also female members of
the armed forces with similar
service.
Here briefly are some of the
most important functions of the
auxiliary. From its relief fund,
we render aid to veterans and
their dependents. Each auxiliary
devises ways of raising their
own money. We also support a
nationwide child welfare pro-
gram. Health clinics, recreation
centers, and studies in civics
and government are a few of
these activities.
One of the most important
phases of our welfare work is
our hospital visitations. Our
local auxiliary makes several
trips each year to McCloskey
Hospital in Temple to bring
comfort and cheer to the pa-
tients.
As a patriotic organization we
devote much of our time to the
promotion of Americanism. We
sponsor an essay contest each
year in our local high school as
a means of encouraging our
children to study the rules of
good citizenship. It is our pur-
pose, as an organization, to
keep the American people re-
minded of their citizenship re-
sponsibilities—and of the blood
that has flowed, on the battle-
fields of the world, to keep
alive the basic principles of
democracy. We believe that
Americanism must be taught in
the schools.
The VFW maintains its Na-
tional Home at Eaton Rapids,
Mich. It is a “home” in every
respect,, giving the orphaned
sons and daughters of war vet-
erans all the advantages and
comforts of a normal home life.
Established in 1925, with over
a half million dollars invested
in grounds, buildings and equip-
ment, this home has been sup-
ported entirely through the
voluntary work and subscrip-
tions of VFW members and
units. Each family-size house
has been erected and paid for
by one of the VFW state de-
partments. A $75,000 commun-
ity center was the gift of the
VFW Ladies Auxiliary which
previously had built and pre-
sented to the National home a
$35,000 hospital. A $10,000 play-
ground was contributed by the
Military Order of the Cootie, the
VFW fun organization. A $65,-
000 nursery cottage was built by
the Ladies Auxiliary to care for
the children, from infancy to
the age of 5, who had become
wards of the VFW. This very
The Washington Merry-Go-Round *
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON — The mad-dog
days of Congress are the period
when the skilled lobbyists deliber-
atetly wait to pass “sneak” legis-
lation. This is the period when
congressmen are in a rush to get
home, don’t study their legisla-
tive scorecards, will do anything
to get the calendar cleared. This
is especially true during an elec-
tion year.
Last week, lobbyists took advan-
tage of the mad-dog days to
sneak through the House the so-
called “General Electric Bill”
which will permit a billion-dollar
giveaway of patents to big busi-
ness. These are the patents de-
veoped by the taxpayers’ research
money through the National Aer-
onautics and Space Administration
which, if the bill passes the Senate
will now be turned over to indi-
vidual companies.
The man who engineered this
bill through the House is Demo-
cratic Congressman Overton
Brooks of Shreveport, La., a good
friend of the big defense contrac-
tors and the missile makers.
In the Senate, however, another
Louisiana solon, from another part
of the state, Sen. Russell Long,
is determined to block the give-
away.
Paradoxically, some of the
House liberals who ordinarily op-
pose big business apparently did-
n’t know what they were voting
for and supported the patent give-
away. They included:
Democrats: Kirwan, Ohio; Cof-
fin, Me.; Addonizio, N. J.; Reuss,
Wis.; Rooney, N. Y.; Libonati
and Pucinski, 111.; and Bowles,
Conn.; plus Republicans: Dorn,
N. Y.; Ayres, Ohio; Broomfield,
Mich.; Corbett and Fulton, Pa.;
Norblad, Ore.; and Frelinghuy-
sen, N. J.
Perhaps the most significant
comment during the debate came
from Democrat Samuel Stratton
of New York, a General Electric
and Navy Department spokesman,
who dutifully told his colleagues
to support the Brooks bill because,
“big business means big employ-
ment.”
Battle of the Monitors
William “Buffalo Bill” Bufal-
ino, the new Teamsters monitor,
got into a grabbing match the
other morning over a stack of cor-
respondence a staff member was
trying to cart out of the monitors’
offices.
As Bufalino showed up for work
at the monitors’ offices shortly
before 9 a.m., he met staffer
Joseph Lang at the elevator with
an armful of papers.
Lang explained that he had
been ordered to take the papers
to Martin O’Donoghue, chairman
of the monitors. Bufalino was ap-
pointed a monitor over O’Donog-
hue’s objections, and the two have
been feuding.
important project was one
which is now, indeed, dear to
our hearts—for the fathers' of
many of these children were
lost in battle on foreign soil. .
Today, the Ladies Auxiliary
to the Veterans of Foregin Wars
have a great opportunity to
help secure lasting peace and
see that the sacred trust of gov-
ernment by the people and for
the people and all the principles
of democracy are made strong
on this earth.
Why Grow Old?
Let Your Bath be a Treat!
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN
Once upon a time we took a
bath for the sole purpose of get-
ting clean. Today it provides us
with a “breather” between hard,
day-time work and reality, and
the less arduous hours and plea-
sant companionship of the even-
ing.
Yet even today many women
fail to take advantage of the
wonderfully refreshing relaxation
of a leisurely bath. Some busy,
distraught housewives and moth-
ers will hoot when they read this
and will think, “How in the world
can I take time for a leisurely
bath in the late afternoon?”
If you have a half hour to
give to a daily dunking, most
afternoons, so much the better.
However, I am thinking of only
10 or 15 minutes and everyone
can steal that much time for
themselves.
You will feel like a new wo-
man and he much better able to
enjoy the evening and to be a
good companion if you will adopt
the following suggestions.
The real secret of a relaxing
bath is not so much a question
of the time you spend in it as
the art of using this period as a
time for forgetting the responsi-
bility for the day for a few min-
utes. The warm water is condu-
cive to this and your muscles
will relax under its influence.
It also will help you to relax
and forget the trials and fatigue
of the day if you will add some
delightfully scented bath salts to
the water. A few inexpensive lit-
tle luxuries like bath salts, dust-
ing powder and cologne can give
you a tremendous lift, and take
you out of the work-a-day world
for a short while.
It is also an aid to keep all of
your bath accessories in one con-
venient place in the bathroom
so that you will not have to
Let your bath be a treat. Dusting powder is an
inexpensive little luxury, which can take you out of
the work-a-day world for a short while.
search for them. This always is
tiring, looking for things!
So often it is failure to plan
or the lack of recognition of
the great restorative qualities of
such short stopgaps in hurried',
daily living which lead to serious
weariness.
Of course this kind of bath is
a beauty routine, too. .Lack of
tension leads to beauty and you
also can cleanse your face and
then apply a lubricating cream
while the water is running in
the tub. The warmth of the wat-
er will speed the absorption of
the cream.

The new monitor ordered Lang
into his office and demanded to
see the papers. Lang refused to
give them up.
“I have my instructions and I
intend to carry them out,” he
announced.
Bufalino contended that one
monitor was entitled to the same
loyalty from the staff as the
other monitors and warned Lang
that his refusal might be con-
strued as obstructing a monitor
from carrying out his court-de-
creed duties.
Without further formality, Buf-
alino snatched the papers. Lang
made a grab to retrieve them.
During a brief tussle, Bufalino got
his hand badly scratched but hung
onto the papers.
Loser Lang picked up the phone
and called O’Donoghue’s office.
“Mr. Bufalino has the stack of
papers,” he wailed. “What should
I do?”
Without waiting to find out what
Lang would do, Bufalino hurried
with the papers to the court and
delivered them to Judge Dickin-
son Lett’s chambers.
Bufalino then returned to
monitors’ offices and found
door bolted. Lawrence Cohen, an-
other staff member, responded to
Bufalino’s knock but refused to
let him in.
“Under Mr. O’Donoghue’s in-
structions,” he announced, “we
are not to admit you.”
Cohen finally agreed to slip
Bufalino’s mail under the door to
him, but left the new monitor
standing in the hall.
Unworried Democrats
Observers watching the gyra-
tions of the U.S. Senate under
Democratic leadership sometimes
wonder whether the Democrats
really deserve to win.
It has now been six months
since Congress went to work in
December. Yet. Sen. Lyndon John-
son, the Democratic leader, has
not appointed a Senate committee
to police the election campaign.
In past years a Senate committee
has always been at work scrutin-
izing the primaries and acting as
a brake on too much spending.
This has been one of the health-
iest committees to operate during
elections when money flies freely
and candidates can get in hock to
the big lobbyists.
Sen. Johnson has also failed to
appoint a committee to check in-
to Republican tax finagling which
has all the earmarks of getting
worse than in the days when Ike
campaigned against Truman’s so-
called “Corruption, Communism,
and Korea.”
One flagrant tax case involve
the Alabama cohorts of for
Gov. Gordon Persons, brother
the No. 2 man in the White House,
Gen. Wilton Persons. There have
been other flagrant tax hush-ups
in the Treasury and Justice De-
partments but apparently Demo-
crats only like to investigate
Democrats.
It has now been two years since
a committee headed by earnest
Sen. John Carroll of Colorado,
Democrat, was appointed to check
on finagling in the administrative
agencies. Sincere Sen. Phil Hart
of Michigan is also a member.
The Republicans got so worried
about the sweeping power of this
committee that shrewd Sen. Dirk-
sen of Illinois, the Republican
leader, made himself a member.
He realized that this committee
could readily go places.
His worries were unfounded.
Kindly Sen. Carroll has done al-
most nothing. He believes Demo-
crats should investigate only Dem-
ocrats, not Republicans.
Nine months ago Sen. Magnu-
son of Washington appointed a ,
committee to act as watchdog on
the TV-radio networks. But it took
nine whole months to get the
Senate to vote a scant $35,000 to
pay for the investigation. In con-
trast, the Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee on the Armed Serv-
ices once spent over $50,000 on
one junket to Spain.
Note—In the House of Repre-
sentatives the Judiciary Commit-
tee has been sitting on its hs
regarding a probe of flagrant
erations of the Immigration Sen^
ice, run by Ike’s West Point class-
mate, Gen. J. M. Swing, and the
manner he has put his daughter
on the payroll, used a government
plane to send ex-Attorney General
Brownell on a political trip, and
used immigration jeeps on hunt-
ing trips in Mexico. The Govern-
ment Operations Committee nib-
bled at such a probe but the
House Judiciary Committee, which
has complete jurisdiction, has
done nothing.
