A Buyer's Market in Fun!
There are a lot of cheering indications from many sources that a real buyer's market is developing this summer for Mr. and Mrs. America and the kids throughout the glorious field of vacation fun.
Take trips, for instance. The central appeal of many gorgeous brochures emanating from travel agencies reveals that special rates for entire families — rather than individual vacationers — are being stressed in transportation. Some of the railroads are readying a plan for westerners who want to visit the Midwest, along this line: Husband, full fare; wife, half-fare; children 12 to 21, half-fare; children 5 to 11, quarter-fare — younger tots for free. Fare bargains of various sorts are also being plugged by airlines.
The sports field, too, is offering lures. The other day one ball club, the S.F. Seals, made the experiment of entire-family admission at a special rate. Already at

individual vacationers — are being stressed in transportation. Some of the railroads are readying a plan for westerners who want to visit the Midwest, along this line: Husband, full fare; wife, half-fare; children 12 to 21, half-fare, children 5 to 11, quarter-fare — younger tots for free. Fare bargains of various sorts are also being plugged by airlines.
The sports field, too, is offering lures. The other day one ball club, the S.F. Seals, made the experiment of entire-family admission at a special rate. Already at many parks a ladies-free day has become a custom.
We hope this more-fun-for-less-money idea grows and spreads. At this period, when the wanderlust steals upon us and the great outdoors beckons, it seems the grandest idea ever!
High Income
The other day in reading a book written hardly more than a decade ago, we noted that the author predicted quite optimistically that America's total national income might reach $120 billion a year in time to come. With national income now running about three times higher than that it emphasizes the startling changes which have taken place in our economy in a relatively short time. Some of the increase in income can be charged to inflation, but after allowing for that and also for the heavier taxes of today we find that the net purchasing power of the average individual is far ahead of what it was prior to World War II. This is reflected in more food on the table, more appliances in the home, more travel, more facilities for leisure, and better living generally. Yet, most Americans are not living right up to their income. One of the marked changes in recent years has been the great increase in savings. Probably simulated to a great extent by the patriotic urge to buy War Bonds, we find this habit of saving being expressed today in the purchase of Savings Bonds, larger bank savings accounts, and more life insurance. It is these "saving" factors which today give our economy a greater strength than it has ever had before.
Protective Coloration
An entirely new factor in highway safety education has been evolved by four traffic engineers of UCLA in a study to determine how colors affect a person's judgment of distance.
The color of car you drive may directly determine whether you become involved in an accident! Colors much lighter or darker than the background can seem as much as six feet closer than those that more nearly match their surroundings, the engineers found—and a
An entirely new factor in highway safety education has been evolved by four traffic engineers of UCLA in a study to determine how colors affect a person's judgment of distance.
The color of car you drive may directly determine whether you become involved in an accident! Colors much lighter or darker than the background can seem as much as six feet closer than those that more nearly match their surroundings, the engineers found—and a mistake of six feet in judging distance can possibly put a motorist six feet under the ground.
The safest car coloring, according to this report, would be two-toned, preferably blue to contrast with the light backgrounds of daytime and fog, with yellow to be more easily seen at night.
The bleak thought intrudes that protective coloration would still leave a motorist defenseless against the reckless speeders who cause most highway accidents—but at least it might serve to cut down mishaps from mere errors of vision.
"EQUALITY!"
The establishment of Liberty and Equality should be the aim of each:
So, to that end, let us together band Under a solemn vow to practice, preach,
And live—indivisibly united—
In a consecrated effort to reach Both rich folk and poor that none be slighted!
Let us lay foundations from which to launch Campaigns thru which Earth's wrongs can be righted!
"Utter balderhash," sputters he whose paunch Proclaims his wealth: yet there are ever those,
Few, it may be, yet hardy folk—and staunch—
Who feel that Liberty, born in Now's throes,
Might—find Equality cure for its woes!

Othman’s Views on Washington Scenes
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
WASHINGTON—The 5-year-olds of my acquaintance must be mentally backward. When I take one of these squirmers to a soda fountain, he always wants a chocolate soda, which he dribbles down his shirt. Never once has such a one demanded a cold bottle of Schlitz. Or Budweiser, either.
The youngsters known to Miss Elizabeth A. Smart of the Women's Christian Temperance Union are more precocious. Her little friends, when asked what they'll have, automatically answer: "Pabst Blue Ribbon."
They also sing songs, said Miss Smart in a voice-half-singing and half-talking, like this:
"I'm from Milwaukee and I ought to know—
It's Blatz, Blatz, Blatz, Blatz wherever you go."
Miss Smart, the legislative representative of the WCTU, is one of the handsomest, most dignified ladies hereabouts, and I would never doubt her word. But where she picks up her small friends I do not know.
She was testifying once again before the Senate Commerce subcommittee in favor of a bill outlawing all advertising—via radio, TV, and the printed word—concerning the Demon Rum. This includes beer.
Miss Smart then ran through a whole series of beery poetry, as heard by her from the giant 17-inch screen. Those TV announcers could have taken some tips from her. Into her performance she put some feeling.
"It's Ballantine beer and its' Ballantine ale," she read. "My choice is the beer and my choice is the ale; there's both ale and beer at the Ballantine sign."
She kept on reading about numerous other beers, as extolled via the TV, and the first thing y o u knew. I had to speak out (unknow).
are insidious. They'd give a thru to a fish.
When I returned, she was nouncing a whisky ad which unfathers who would set a good sample for their sons, to be moderate in all things, drinking included Miss Smart said this was a way to get the sons, too, interested in whisky.
This caused Sen. William A. Bell tell (R., Conn.), the chairman, read the advertisement aloud, said it sounded to him like advice. Nowhere in it could find any suggestion that the youth should drink whisky.
"And I don't mean to be doing a job for Seagram's," he added.
But that's what you're doing Miss Smart replied.
She also said that the WO ladies had made a nationwide on whether citizens approved those beer ads on TV. In so places the ladies soldiered on job, but elsewhere they rang de bells all over. In Florida, for instance, the vote was 3,075 to against beer ads on TV. Miss Smart had all the ballots lined up on press table in 7 large canned-go boxes, mostly bearing tomato vertisements.
I hate to say it, but none of operatives ever questioned Had they asked, I'd have voted their side. Those TV ads, between rounds and also innings, are irritating to me sometimes that have decided either to quite wait television or quit drinking beer Or perhaps both.
Most of this beer now on the doesn't sound so good, anyhow has no calories and no sugar it is guaranteed to make a felicim. I'm not interested.
And, so help me, neither the toddlers in my neighborhood. This may be because they're bed nightly before the TV b poetry is recited. The youngest mentioned by Miss Smart must
Your Birthday Forecast
By STELLA
FRIDAY, JUNE 25—Born today, you must learn to understand your own self, if you are to hope that others will ever understand you. There are two sides of your nature, struggling with each other for supremacy, and until you have fought it out with yourself, there is no one else who can help.
The stars have given you energy, initiative and self-reliance. But, on the other hand, you are so easyy swayed by the opinions of others. You desperately want fame and success — but you dislike having to work too hard for it!
You crave excitement and variety and will need to settle down long enough to show any “boos” how good you are! You may have a quick rise in youth and then stay put—unless you release new talents and determination. Don’t be satisfied with anything short of something that is first-rate!
Since your emotions are so near the surface, your marriage may have a great deal to do with your piltimate success in life. Wed someone who understands your rather complex nature and can act as a true partner and knows how to cope with your changing moods at all times. A great deal of happiness can be in store for you under those conditions. When you are emotionally contented and happy, you can do anything!
Among those who were born on this date are: Olive Thorn Miller, author; C. T. Yerkes, financier; Edward Holyoake and Eliphael Nott, educators.

Record Reviews
Popular Records
NEW YORK—(UP)—A clarinet virtuoso, Artie Shaw, and a hillbilly singer, Tennessee Ernie, are cast in unfamiliar roles in their latest recordings.
Instead of dominating the music on a Decca album, "Speak to Me of Love," Shaw furnishes background mood music for popular lyrics which are spoken instead of sung.
Words to eight numbers, including "September Song," "All the Things You Are," and "I'll Be Seeing You," are recited by Doris Dowling, the "natath" girl of "Lost Weekend," and Robert Pastene. Shaw emerges occasionally with soothing clarinet passages.
Tennessee Ernie, Lucille Ball's country cousin on recent "I Love Lucy," TV shows, apparently has found another voice for such tunes as "Give Me Your Word" (Capitol). No nasal twang on this one.
David Rose and his orchestra honor one of the nation's most gifted pop song composers on an M-G-M-LP, "The Music of Harold Arlen." Some of the 12 compositions—"Stormy Weather," "Over the Rainbow," "It's Only a Paper Moon." Excellent background music.
Unusual sound department: A pocket comb becomes the principal true partner and knows how to cope with your changing moods at all times. A great deal of happiness can be in store for you under those conditions. When you are emotionally contented and happy, you can do anything!

I see where some New York onomist sees that in the next eight years the average family will make $25,000 a year. No doubt that's good news to a bunch of kids that can't read yet, but to the rest of us it means that we'll have to keep on eating on the shank stead of high up on the hog where we'd like to.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 24—Generalizations are often harmful, and nothing could be more detrimental to the interests of the United States than any blanket condemnation of scientists because of the peculiar behavior of D.. J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was declared a "security risk" by a special board appointed by the atomic energy commission.
Publication of the official transcript of the hearings of this board reveals some very interesting comments on the subject of scientists where loyalty or security matters are involved. Thus John Landale, Jr., now a member of a Cleveland law firm during the war a colonel in the Army, who was the top security officer for the atomic bomb project, was being interrogated under oath on April 16 last, as follows:
"Q. Mr. Garrison (counsel for Dr. Oppenheimer) asked you some questions about the scientific mind in relation to that interview that you had with Dr. Oppenheimer (1943) and you responded, I think that Dr. Oppenheimer's attitude might well have been a manifestation of the workings of a scientific mind, is that correct?
"A. Oh, yes; of which I came up against many examples.
"Q. Dr. Oppenheimer has testified here before this board that he lied to you in that interview. You would not say that lying was one of the manifestations of the scientific mind, would you?
"A. Not necessarily, no.
"Q. It is not a characteristic.....
"A. It was certainly a characteristic to decide that I didn't need to have certain information.
"Q. No. But the question is, Mr. Lansdale, you would not say that scientists as a group are liars, would you?
"A. No. I don't think persons as a group are liars."
peded your investigation, didn't you?
"A. Certainly. But he wasn't the first one that impeded my investigation, nor the last."
Mr. Lansdale went on to say that he felt that, to the extent of his knowledge, Dr. Oppenheimer is loyal but added that, on the matter of "security clearance," had he been confined to have record he would not have granted it. He said:
"In other words, if Dr. Oppenheimer had not been as important as he was, I would certainly have stopped with the record and used my every endeavor to persuade the General (Groves) that Dr. Oppenheimer ought to be dispensed with." This is probably as good as example as any of the difficulty that the security officers had with some of the scientists at the laboratory where during the last war the atomic bomb was being developed.
The special board which recently heard the testimony on Dr. Oppenheimer and which was headed by Gordon Gray, President of the University of North Carolina and former Secretary of the Army in the last administration, had this comment to make on scientists with particular reference to some who testified in behalf of Dr. Oppenheimer. The special board in its final report declared:
"The board has been impressed, and in many ways heartened by the manner in which many scientists have sprung to the defense of one whom many felt was under unfair attack. This is important and encouraging when one is concerned with the vitality of our society. However, the board feel constrained to express its concern that in this solidarity there have been attitudes so uncompromising in support of science in general, and Dr. Oppenheimer in particular, that some witnesses have, in our judgment, allowed their

It is virtually impossible for me to personally thank all those who took such an active interest in my campaign. Please accept this letter as the only practical manner in which I can express my appreciation.

From all outside appearances, Mrs. Benson is understating the case when she describes her husband, herself and their six children as a "close-knit family. While they're just carrying on as usual, they've brought something new to official Washington.
"It's always been that way" in the Moromon household, she told a reporter. "When any member of the family has a responsibility we all feel it." She added that her husband finds it "reassuring to have members of the family present."
Mrs. Benson feels her husband's responsibilities so keenly that when she was presented with a gift of margarine, she promptly went out and bought an equal amount of butter so the secretary's family would be fair to both industries.
How does she take it when the going gets rough for Benson at a congressional hearing? She loath to comment because she dislikes "gossip" of any kind and "hates to hurt anyone's feelings."
But she does admit her husband is more successful in controlling his feelings. If she ever does feel like exploding at a rough question chances are it would be at home with only her family present.
"We're a very tight-meathed family," she concedes with a smile. "We talk everything over inside the family circle, but not outside it. We work, play and pray together."
Five of the six Benson children, who range in age from 9 to 26, also have attended hearings where their dad was the chief witness. Mark, 25, one of the two sons, is the only one who hasn't; he lives in California.
Because she devotes so much time to her husband's work, her family and her home, Mrs. Benson's time for Washington "socializing" is limited.
The soft-spoken woman did find time recently to entertain Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower, cabinet wives, and other women of capital officialdom.
She and her daughters cooked and served a lunch of chicken a la
Dear Sir:
It is virtually impossible for me to personally thank all those who took such an active interest in my campaign. Please accept this letter as the only practical manner in which I can express my appreciation.
Results of the recent balloting clearly indicate that selections are lost through a lack of organization and a lack of time. Rather than accept defeat, I am of the opinion that we must immediately formulate an organization of those who are genuinely concerned with the trend of modern education.
I feel that the impetus for organization should come from groups within each locality, and that the central unit function primarily as a clearing-house in the collection, analysis and distribution of factual data. I also feel that we should not restrict our activities to those already dedicated to the cause, but should rather devote our efforts toward winning additional support.
What are your suggestions as to organizing a movement within your community based on the principles upon which I conducted my recent campaign? I am prepared to assist in such a venture by coordinating your activities through a newsletter. For example, the Laguna Beach School Board recently voted unanimously to place all of the Reports of the California Senate Investigating Committees on Education in the hands of the Board, Administrators, and teachers. This is indeed a forward step and should receive state-wide attention. There are many other current items such as the findings of the Kern County Grand Jury in its investigation of education I believe that this newsletter will provide the basis for an organization and thereby insure us that 1984 will not be repeated indelibly.
May I suggest you discuss this with your friends and let me hear from you as soon as possible? I would also appreciate the names and address of others who might be interested.
Sincerely,
David B. Everett
