He will be greatly missed. But as his leadership well proved, there are others of his kind. They will carry on the defense of what he called "an island of democracy in a Red sea." From early years Ernst Reuter knew where he stood It was in the middle and as a champion of the rights and well?being of everyday people. When his Prussian father disowned him for becoming a Socialist, he made his way as a tutor and newspaperman. Conscripted for opposing German entry into World War I, he was wounded, captured, and brought himself to the attention of Lenin in Russia, yet broke with the Communist Party whose power he was later to defy.

When his Prussian father disowned him for becoming a Socialist, he made his way as a tutor and newspaperman. Conscripted for opposing German entry into World War I, he was wounded, captured, and brought himself to the attention of Lenin in Russia, yet broke with the Communist Party whose power he was later to defy. Thrice imprisononed by the Nazis, he spent the years of World War II in Turkey. As a leader of the Social Democratic Party and a proven municipal administrator he was elected mayor of West Berlin in 1948 and immediately was plunged into the crisis of the attempted Russian blockade of the city. The celebrated air lift which showed that the outpost for freedom could be held stemmed in large part from his initiative. But repeatedly he has undergirded the courage of his people. "We must stop acting like rabbits in the presence of a snake," he would tell them. And he called firmly on West Germany to take the refugees who poured in by thousands from the Soviet-occupied sector. But Mayor Reuter was by no means alone in the courage he so stanchly exemplified. Every Berliner who took an active part in resisting the Communists knew he made himself a marked man if ever the Reds took over the city. More than 500 persons have disappeared and many, like Dr. Walter Linse, are known to have been kidnapped by gangs from East Berlin. But travelers who visit Berlin find there is in that beleaguered former capital a higher appreciation of freedom and a more lively determination to defend it than in many parts of Europe outside the Iron Curtain. The spirit which Mayor Reuter and others have given to that city survives his passing. Who Has The Most To Gain? The old illusion that the cost of government isn't too important to the average family because it can be paid by soaking the rich dies hard. Today, the rich pay extremely heavy taxes—the federal personal income tax alone reaches a top of 92 per cent. Even so, their tax contributions meet only a small part of the total cost of government, for the plain reason that there aren't enough of them. According to the Tax Foundation, last year a family with $3500 a year paid $1097—almost a third—in direct and hidden taxes. It's the people of moderate and small means who pay most of the cost of government and who have the most to lose from wasteful government and the most to gain from economical government.

SKYLARK THREE—Page 136— Mind—22/18 EROSION Othman's Views on Washington Ship By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN NEW ORLEANS, La.—My bride and I have sore arms at this writing from smallpox vaccinations; we are about to experiment with that newfangled invention called the steamship. I have seen these items ploughing across oceans from afar, mostly from 20,000 feet up, but never have ridden on one except once years ago when I spent five cents for a ride to Staten Island. Ships otherwise have been mysteries to me. This was because the management always seemed to be in a hurry to get me where I wasn't. So far it has sent me batting across the Atlantic half a dozen times, once around the world, and again all the way around South Amrelica, but always in a flying machine. I've enjoyed these airplanes and their free champagne, but still and all I've been an involuntary child of today's air age. Today Hilda and I board the S. S. Alcoa Cavalier for a cruise of the Caribbean, arranged by International House, which is in the business of boosting trade with our neighbors to the South. Long, lazy days at sea sound fine in the brochure, but how they'll be in real life I have no idea. I haven't seen the ship yet, but it is owned by the Aluminum Corp., of America and I hear tell there is not one iron pot in her whole kitchen. All right, galley. She is fabricated largely of aluminum and is said to be exceedingly lush. Upstairs she carries passengers; down in the cellar she hauls bauxite from Surinam. This is the stuff from which aluminum is made and before I get back I have no doubt the process will have been fully explained. Our first port of call is Kingston, Jamaica, where Mrs. O., has a friend in the hurry-up dressmaking business. She specializes in frocks of cotton in wild-eyed yarn from England.

The Publisher Comments It must be admitted that Senator Thomas Kuchel is on a tour for the purpose of election to the U. S. Senate. And, since he is seeking election his talks to the public are reflecting his platform, his personal thinking and his beliefs, on the various amendments and bills that are or will be up for vote by that astute body of law makers. So far "Tommy" has been riding the fence. Through the medium of excellent oratorical delivery, a deft selection of words and a winning way with an audience he has not committed himself to any set, firm policies. It is true he talks of an amendment to the constitution, he talks in favor of "an amendment to the constitution," but he does not state what amendment. He will not make a statement on the Taft, Hartley Act. The Bricker Amendment is the one he is skirting, is he for or against it? There are reasons why he should come out with a firm forceful stand on the Bricker amendment. There is in existence a re-written substitute of this controversial piece of legislation. The re-write is a complete whitewash of the original and would not accomplish one thing the original amendment intended to do. It was written to salve over the feelings in a compromise of those for and against the Bricker amendment. This election is the first Mr. Kuchel has entered where he is going to have to work to gain the support of the voter. Previously he has been given his offices on a silver platter. If he intends to go into office through the medium of fence-riding, attempting to incur favor of both sides by not taking a definite stand, he is mistaken. Previous administrations rode the fence and look where they landed! Our government must be run by men who are not afraid of criticism, men who are not afraid to make a stand, men who are not merely in office to hold down a job. Too much is at stake. Our public office holders must be men that can be counted on; have the strength and force of their convictions if our government is to remain a free republic. Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD (UF)-Ray Bolger happily announced today he, at least, is not going to do a panel show on television. Instead, the musical comedy star is presenting TV's first movie musical. The famed comic-hoofer makes his TV debut on ABC's "Where's Raymond." It's not a quiz show, he grinned, but each half hour program is a complete musical on film. The only concession he makes to the visual format he added is approach. People are tired of the same old formats. I decided I wouldn't go on television without a new idea. Television now falls into categories. There's only one "Mr. Peepers", but 800 impersonators. "Then there's a panel shows, variety shows, husband-and-wife serials and detective yarns." But "Where's Raymond" pleases the Hollywoodites who insist TV is like the movies and should use a film instead of radio format.

Your Birthday Forecast (BY STELLA) TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6 — Born today, you have a tremendous store of energy which you are inclined to utilize for the good of all. You have wonderful ideas — sometimes almost too grandiose for accomplishment in a single lifetime—but you will always do your utmost to make these dreams some true. Do not be disappointed if you do not achieve everything you aspire to reach. Learn to be content with what you can manage in your own lifetime! Your emotions are near the surface and you have the dramatic approach to even the ordinary things of life. If you are a member of the fair sex, this flair may develop your already strong social inclinations and make you an outstanding hostess. You may aspire to become a social leader; or, if you want a career, the stage might have a strong appeal. Your intuitions are keen. Just follow them and you always will do exactly the right thing. You are not one to be pushed into something you dislike. You will be unhappy unless you are following a natural bent and this unhappiness will lead to failure in life rather than the success you should have. Give yourself a free rein to do as you really wish. An early marriage to someone who shares the same ambitions for you, as you do yourself, might be one of the quickest roads to fame and recognition and a real step toward contentment and happiness. To find what the stars have in store for tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

I'm talking about barbershops, of course. In the swanky Mayflower Hotel shop you sit in the chair, get apprised in and the man starts work on you with no more tools than a comb and a pair of shears. "No clippers?" I asked. Barber Bernard Franks replied: "We do not have any clippers, sir. We are old-fashioned here. We give you a custom-made trim." Ordnarily in the other barber shops you start to take a little nap or read you paper and you feel the hair-mower running a haplazard course up the nape of your neck. What is even more wonderful in this custom-made shop, fellows like Bernard Franks keep their lip sewed. I didn't hear one word about Carl Erskine's chore against the New York Yanks.

I have an idea this enterprise will be pleasant and also surprising, but no matter what I'll attempt to give WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 — The true story of what happened between President Eisenhower and Martin Durkin, former Secretary of Labor, has been obtained by this correspondent from an unimpeachable source. It would have been unnecessary to disclose all the facts concerning the circumstances that led to Mr. Durkin's resignation as Secretary of Labor. If it had not been for the manner in which the American Federation of Labor's official publication, entitled "News Reporter," has just cast doubt on President Eisenhower's good faith in telling his press conference that he never in his life knowingly broke an agreement with anybody. The AFL's publication now says in its current issue that a speech made recently by Vice President Nixon at the AFL convention "fully confirmed the truth of Martin Durkin's charges that the President had broken an agreement" with respect to the submission to Congress of a message on changes in the Taft-Hartley Act. The AFL periodical selected as its "proof" a passage from Mr. Nixon's speech in which he said that he had had nothing to do with the substance of the message but only with its "timing." From this the AFL publication infers that there was a "message," the text of which had been agreed upon by the President and Mr. Durkin, and that Mr. Eisenhower was dissuaded from sending the document to Congress one day at its last session only because of the death of Senator Taft and because it was deemed perhaps disrespectful to transmit such a message at that time. The claim is made by labor leaders that Mr. Eisenhower changed his mind about sending the message as it had been agreed upon and thereby broke his "agreement." What are the facts? Fact number one: Mr. Eisenhower never saw or read the so-called "message," which was really a "message" and hence could not as labor leaders allege, have argued against the transmission of the document on the ground that certain of its provisions were objectionable to him. It was to dispel such an accusation that Mr. Nixon mentioned the subject in his address to the AFL. Fact number five: Mr. Durkin immediately after his resignation as Secretary of Labor, told a press conference that he had no personal commitment from President Eisenhower concerning the proposed amendments contained in the "message," but that he had had an "agreement" with members of the President's staff about them. Fact number six: Mr. Durkin told the AFL convention subsequently that Mr. Eisenhower, in a personal meeting he had with him in New York City, had agreed to send the "message" to Congress even after its text had been published and after various criticisms of its contents had reached the President. Fact number seven: Mr. Durkin was closed with the President alone in New York City for only about ten to fifteen minutes and there obviously was no time for a detailed discussion of the 18 amendments but only for some general ideas. Fact number eight: Mr. Eisenhower assumed that Mr. Durkin knew that, of course, after the amendments had been fully studied by his associates and brought him in final form the administration would naturally submit it to Congress. To this day however, these studies and discussions have not been completed. There surely will be a message sent to the next session of Congress embodying the administration's view on the Taft-Hartley Act. Fact number nine: Vice President Nixon familiarized himself with all the facts concerning the resignation of Mr. Durkin and told the DAY FORECAST (STELLA) may be able to give help and encouragement to one who is greatly in need of being peeped up. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)—If you are asked to take on added responsibilities, do it with a smile, as you are capable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 20)—Shift all suggestions made at this time carefully. Discard the bad ones but make use of those that are good. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)—A good day for pleasure. You could be allowed time out from work to do a little serious celebrating! PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)—Procrastination never helps. If a job needs doing, get it right away. Don't wait for another tomorrow. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20)—Hold your ideals high today and strive toward reaching an important objective. Your goal could be reached now. TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21)—If you have some good ideas that need the okay of "higher upe" this is the day to get the green lights. GEMINI (May 22-June 21)—Don't take refuge in sarcasm. If you have criticism to make, be polite as well as constructive about it. CANGER (June 22-July 23)—An idea, to be really useful, must be also practical. Test all inspirations today on that score; don't be deluded. LEO (July 24-Aug. 23)—Have a good time but don't be ultra-extravagant merely for the sake of pleasure. Let someone else pick up the check. VIRGIL (Aug. 24-Sept. 23)—Routine is best. Sudden changes can react against you, so be conservative in all your decisions just now. (Distributed by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Women's Work By VIVIAN SANDE (United Press Staff Correspondent) Stella Hanning-Lee says she's the careful type, but it's understandable that people persist in tagging her "adventurous." She's a pioneer in this jet age. Stella and her husband, Frank, have designed the first jet boat—a craft with a jet airplane engine. What's more they are testing the creation themselves on Lake Mead in Nevada. Frank Hanning-Lee, formerly of the submarine division of the Royal Navy, first met the former Stella Parsons of Weymouth, Mass., in 1943 at the Hingham (Mass.) Navy Base. She was a school-teacher turned cost-accountant for World War II. They were married in 1944 in Weymouth. Their son, Vaughan, was born in 1946. Built The White Hawk Frank retired from the Royal Navy after 10 years of service. After the Hanning-Lees got the idea for a jet-propelled boat, they read all the textbooks they could find on aerodynamics and on marine and aviation design. They assisted the help of experts knew that, of course, after the amendments had been fully studied by his associates and brought him in final form the administration would naturally submit it to Congress. To this day however, these studies and discussions have not been completed. There surely will be a message sent to the next session of Congress embodying the administration's view on the Taft-Hartley Act. Fact number nine: Vice President Nixon familiarized himself with all the facts concerning the resignation of Mr. Durkin and told the American Federation of Labor convention that there had been a misunderstanding. This was intended to be a tactful way of preventing the spread of any accusation that the President was questioning the good faith of Mr. Durkin. Fact number ten: Mr. Durkin favored the draft of the "message" and wanted the administration to approve all 19 of the proposed amendments but the leaders of the AFL and the GIO now say they repudiated these same proposals as inadequate and unsatisfactory. From the above set of facts it is plain that Merrys, George Meany and Walter Reuther, presidents of the AFL and GIO respectively, and the AFL in its weekly publication have deliberately for purposes of politics or legislatively strategy impugned the good faith of the President of the United States by accusing him of breaking an "agreement" and hence now owe him a public apology.

Nothing but wonderful silence. I'll never forget the first store-bought haircut I ever had. The "Soup Bean Special" had been hired to play for the junior-senior banquet. My trim was, of course, a clipped job. Barber Red Bell gave me his very best, which was pretty good. "Bean Special" decided that, being prettied up all around, it was time we asked for more money per man. After all, the piano player, Melba Weedman, had spent $1.25 for a marcel and all we were about to take home was $1 each. We appointed a committee of one, the late "Split" Vane, to call on old Doc Severson, the senior class adviser, to ask for $1.50, which would leave Melba a net of 78 cents and the rest of us $1.25, since crook trims in those days was a quarter and no tip. Doc got sore and fired us. ed secretary of the group at elections held the first of the week. Navy Mothers club of Anaheim has named Mrs. H. H. Heckman as its president. Stella got the White Hawk up to over 100 miles an hour in Britain, but the uncertain weather there made testing the ship a tedious affair. They decided to come to the United States for more reliable weather. Their goal is to break the world motorboat speed record of 178.49 miles per hour set by Stanley Sayres in 1950. Nobody knows how fast the White Hawk will go, and hold together. The Hanning-Lees say 200 miles an hour ought to be a cinch. But during this test period, every minute aboard the jet boat is an adventure into the unknown. Even the inventors can't sure how the White Hawk will react to added speed. "We're careful," Stella said. "Neither Frank nor I have any intention of dying young." They hope their work will contribute to revolutionizing marine travel. The jet boat, Stella explained, actually clears the water by two feet at high speeds. Two supports, so small you can't see them when the boat is in motion, are its only contact with the water and these supports raise no wake. "It's the wake high speed boats plays the concertos and Jascha Helfets plays the sonatas and partitas with both reverence and gravity. Decca has issued to concertos (6-12-inch LPs) and RCA Victor has issued the sonatas and partitas (6-12-inch LPs). While admiring both sets of performances, you can, at the same time, quibble with both performers. Profoundly in music, as in anything else, is demonstrated always by content and never by the manner with which profundity is revealed. This point is made for you by Sylvia Marlowe's harpachord playings of seven sonatas of Scarlatti, a toccata of Bach, an elaborate chaconne of Couperin (Remington); and by Nadia Boulanger's excerpting from seven operas of J. P. Rameau with a group of French singers and players (Decea). It has become the fashion to etherealize these composers, too. Yet Miss Marlowe and Miss Boulanger dare to invest them with recognizable musical flesh. Some Modern Composers By way of contrast, you can also have a look at a collection of modern composers — and be surprised by how little contrast is offered in some cases. There is the Concerto Grosso of Ernest Bloch which with William Schuman's Symphony for Stringa, recently engaged the Pittsburgh Symphony under William Steinberg (Capitol). As performances they're fully appreciative—and without a whisper of the pretentious; and there is no intention, of course, of comparing Bloch and Schuman with Handel and Bach, except in historical perspective. In this connection, there is a meritorious performance of Honegger's Symphonie Liturgique by the Dresden Philharmonic under Walter Stoechle (Urania). Also of Arnold Schoenberg's experiments with speaker against chorus and orchestra—"A Survivor from Warsaw" and "Kol Nidru." The orchestra is the Vienna Symphony, with the Academic Chamber Chorus, and the composer's second Chamber Symphony is added to complete the record (Columbia). Finally, there are two too-little-known pieces of Villa-Lobos—"No metto" which is for flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, harp, celesta, and mixed chorus, and "Quatuor," for flute, harp, celesta, saxophone, and women's voices. These performances were directed by Roger Wagner (Capitol).
