No Spoils Left
In years gone by, whenever there was a change in the national administration from one party to another, there was also a tremendous turnover in Government jobs. The faithful of one party were ousted to make room for the faithful of the other. These were the spoils of victory. But when President Eisenhower took over, he found few jobs with which to reward the party faithful. Jobs were as scare as uranium. This situation came about through two factors: (1) thousands of federal employees were "blanketed" into the civil service system during the Roosevelt regime, and (2) the economy-minded Eisenhower administration lopped off 200,000 jobs from the federal payroll. It is said that there were no more than 2,000 jobs of the really desirable type to be handed out. (Most desirable are those which pay as much as $7,000 a year but call for little professional skill.) There was a time when a senator from a large state would have had as many as 15,000 jobs to dispense through Presidential appointment (which the senator would largely dictate). This sort of thing may so discourage party hacks—in both parties—that they'll go to work for a living. Gad, what a fate!

Eternal Vigilance
The world is full of people who think they can handle our lives for us better than we can. Some of them are only harmless, if annoying, busybodies. Others are dangerous.
Communism, of course, is the world's clear and present danger. But its very clarity, its obvious despotic brutality, help stir free men to opposition. Communism's subtler sister, Socialism, is a seductive wench — one far more difficult to resist.
The threat of socialism is ever-present. It clouds the future of every profession, every business, every individual. It demands eternal vigilance — that inescapable price of liberty.
American medicine provides a classic example of a profession that was vigilant, and rallied to protect itself, and others, from the treat of socialization. Other groups give evidence of similar awareness. The power and light industry — a prime target today for the socializers — was warned only recently by one of its leaders that it must fight for its rights against an increasingly powerful foe.
Louis V. Sutton, president of the Carolina Power and Light Company of Roanoke, North Carolina, pointed out to the industry's annual convention in Los Angeles that one Government power lobby alone — the National Rural Electric Cooperative, "spent more money during the first three months this year in connection with its legislative interests than any other agency in the long list of registered lobbyists." Such activity requires an answer in kind.
No one today — individual, Nation, or a section of the Nation's economy can afford to forget the words of Daniel Webster:
"God grants liberty only to those who live it, and are always ready to guard and defend it."

In Try to Take Curse Off Disneyland Dominance
By JACK GAVER
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK (UP)—Off-channel: Edgar Bergen in a quick, sotto voce trip to town at mid-week for conferences about his TV and radio plans for the coming season. Nothing final yet with his agency and CBS, but there is talk of something involving the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales—a program to be put on film in the natural European backgrounds—that would be done on a scale designed to try and take the curse off ABC's "Disneyland" dominance on Wednesday nights.
There's a bit of a conflict, though. How to arrange for Bergen to do the new radio series planned for him if he has to be abroad most of the time doing the TV series? One thing is certain—this is the season in which Bergen will make his first big bid as a regular performer on TV, with or without the dummies.
A year ago there was more anticipatory talk about color TV—larvely because of the then-recent FCC go-ahead on color—than there is today. Yet nothing happened beyond CBS and NBC stepping up their compatible colorcast schedules which scarcely anyone saw except in black and white. Now, when there is little public comment about color, we're on the threshold of a season that will really get the view-with-a-hue started on the way to its inevitably important place in the living room.
The price of color sets (still well above the desired $500 mark) and certain technical impracticalities will continue to bar a wholesale changeover from black and white in life next 12 months, but the cost is gradually being whittled down and the networks will at least double their showmanship pressure in color. Come Christmas, 1956 (correct), and Santa Claus probably will wish the rainbow had never been invented.
The CBS presentation last week of the recent Broadway attraction, "Three For Tonight," was fine TV entertainment and gave its producer, Paul Gregory, noted for his sceneryless productions in the theater, a good introduction to television in advance of the new season when he is preparing several shows for CBS. However, it is to be hoped that this initial success doesn't lead to frequent duplication of such a method of stark presentation.
Because of the small size of the screen and other limitations, TV musicals need all of the values they can get (including the aforementioned color). For TV musicals at best, can only by inferior to motion picture musicals, just as the latter can never hope to capture the appeal of live stage musicals. But Gregory is a resourceful, realistic producer, and he'll probably come up with something to dissipate such fears next fall when he does an original about ministrelay, "The Big Banjo," for CBS-TV.
The CBS use of four different bands each Saturday as the summer replacement for Jackie Gleason isn't the only TV shot in the arm for music, which has been sort of a television stepchild.
This Saturday night the ABC network will turn over the 9-to-10 spot to the "champagne music" of Lawrence Welk and his band, originating live—and sponsored—from Los Angeles where they have had a big local TV success for four years.
Also, on July 7, CBS-TV will inaugurate a nine-week series of half-hour 8 p.m. Thursday programs featuring the music of Stan Kenton and his band. "Music '55" is the name of the program, which is more or less an indication of the "advanced jazz" for which Kenton is known. However, things will not be quite as extreme in this line as when Kenton first began to create a "new sound" some eight years ago.

These past six years have brought two lovely children into my life which my community has accepted as members thereof. My community has also provided beautiful parks, excellent schools and churches, and fine recreational facilities where both children and parents alike could gain fulfillment of life’s needs. The aforementioned are the essence of the Christian, democratic process that we have in our republic. Where else could a young man like myself know all this bounty in but six years’ time.
It is this type of community that has made America great and strong. America can only remain in such a position if all its members continue to work toward making it better. I thank God for giving me the wonderful opportunity of living in Anaheim these six years, and letting me be a full partner in its activities. Being a functioning citizen of a community assists both the individual and the community in fulfilling the important task of being a good American.
My parting prayer is twofold: one that the community of Anaheim continue in growth physically, morally, and spiritually; two, that my new community will accept my family and me in the same manner that Anaheim has, and that I may serve the young people of this State through the process of public education commensurate with the importance of the task.

Textile Executive Shows Senators Product Samples
WASHINGTON.-J. Spencer Love the soft-voiced chairman of America's biggest textile company, figured the best way to tell those Senators about his business was to show 'em.
So he hauled in under the crystal chandeliers of the Judiciary Committee piece after piece of yard goods, auto upholstery, window curtains, socks and suitings and spread them on the green balze table. Before he'd finished showing these materials to the lawgivers he'd managed to turn their sanctum into a replica of a bargain basement after a hard scrimage by the ladies.
The statesmen called Love because his Burlington Industries, Inc., of Greensboro, N.C. had absorbed 89 other textile concerns and the question was whether he was fostering a monopoly. He said he wasn't.
His firm came up from nowhere, he said, during the last depression with a line of rayon goods. Then it began to expand with a wide variety of other synthetics.
"And eventually we discovered that the true miracle fabrics were nature's own," he added.
So he began buying up woolen mills and cotton factories to get in on the trade in ancient miracles. Then his experts began combining wool and cotton with a wide variety of synthetics to gain properties that clothing never had before. These mixtures, he said, will be the fabrics of the future. They'll be improved, of course, as the
PACIFIERS PREVENT THUMB-SUCKING
We've come full circle again. Pacifiers fer babies actually prevent the thumb-sucking habit. That's the latest word.
Thumb-sucking is nothing to get alarmed about unless children continue it past the age of five. It's entirely normal until the age of two. The trouble is that once established, the habit may be hard to break.
Unlike pacifiers, children always have thumbs available. If they're used to sucking a pacifier, you can throw that away and break the habit. Not so with thumbs. It isn't practical to separate thumb from child. So thumb-sucking may continue until the age when it can begin to hurt teeth, about age five years.
Dr. Louis F. Rittelmeyer Jr., of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine has reported a study of 364 children to find out the value of pacifiers in preventing thumb-sucking. He comes out all in favor of them.
His study shows that more than four times as many children not using pacifiers became thumb-suckers as do children using pacifiers. Of the 315 children who didn't use pacifiers 84, or 27 per cent, became thumb-suckers. Of 49 children using pacifiers, only three, or six per cent, became thumb-suckers.
More important, all who used pacifiers had stopped thumb-sucking by the time they were five. In fact, all but one had stopped by age two.
Thumb-sucking is nothing but a nuisance until age five. But it children were still-sucking thumb at the ages of five, six, and ever past seven years. That is no good.
After a child is two thumbs sucking may mean that the child is overly anxious or otherwise emotionally disturbed. However a child doesn't begin to suck his thumb after he's two unless he sucked-his thumb earlier. There lies the beauty of the pacifier.
It gives baby something to gum and suck on harmlessly. I isn't nearly as dirty at the baby's thumb. It does not lead to air-swallowing or colic. In fact pacifiers are used by some physicians to treat infant colic. Even Dr. Benjamin Spock has publicly come out in favor of the pacifier.
There is no problem in discarding a pacifier. As Dr. Rittel meyer put it, "The pacifier it not, like the thumb, always and everywhere available at the flick of a wrist. The habit (of thumb-sucking) is more easily broker if temptation is more than an arm's length away." He claims that children usually give up the pacifier before the age of two years. If they don't, the parent can conveniently lose it any time after the second birthday without any fear that baby will begin thumb-sucking.
He adds that there is no harm in letting the baby continue to use the pacifier "to go to sleep" if he wants it.
So, after going through a period of condemning pacifiers we have come back to recommending them. There is no scientific objection to their use.
"And eventually we discovered that the true miracle fabrics were nature's own," he added.
So he began buying up woolen mills and cotton factories to get in on the trade in ancient miracles. Then his experts began combining wool and cotton with a wide variety of synthetics to gain properties that clothing never had before. These mixtures, he said, will be the fabrics of the future. They'll be improved, of course, as the chemists make new discoveries.
He said he doubted if the Senators, themselves, could tell exactly what their suits were made of. Or even their shirts.
This caused Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D., Wyo) who has numerous constituents in the sheep business, to go, harumph. He knew what materials had gone into his own lightweight tan suit. It was wool, all wool, pure and unsullied by anything out of a test tube.
As I look upon the display of fabrics here, I notice how disproportionately wool is represented," Sen. O'Mahoney said. "I shall have to report this back in Wyoming."
Textile magnate Love sheathed his half-size cyeglasses (built so he easily could look over the top of them), jumped to his feet, and started displaying yardgoods for the statesmen. "Here's a sports coating (gray and blue) that's 70 percent wool and 30 percent synthetic," he urged. "Here's an 80 percent wool. And here (he held up a reddish fabric) is 96 percent wool and four percent dyneel."
This made the gentleman from Wyoming feel a little better. He peered closely at the dark blue suit of the textile man and took a long look at his white shirt.
"It looks to me like your suit is not a blend, but pure wool," Sen. O'Mahoney said.
Love didn't exactly blush, but he said his costume was made of wool, mohair and small dollop of rayon. His shirt, he admitted, was virgin cotton. "Perhaps I should have come dressed for the occasion," he said.
He went on to say that he believed the textile business had seen its darkest days. More people are being born every day, he continued, and of course they'll wear more clothes. He said he did believe textile stocks as of now were a good investment and that any young man seeking an exciting future might well consider getting into the spinning and weaving business.
THE DAVID LAWRENCE DISPATCH
Claim Democrats Toying With State Socialism In Their Backing of Public Power Projects
WASHINGTON — What constitutes a good political issue—and which party is right in appraising the mood of the American people? This question has just been crystallized in the attitude taken by political leaders of both parties toward the problem of government ownership of all electric power facilities.
In Britain the public ownership fever, known as "nationalization of industry," has about run its course as the Conservatives found out in their recent election victory. But in the United States there are evidently leaders of the Democratic Party who think they can strike "pay dirt" in the issue of public power. Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of Tennessee, is the leader of the public power side and Senator Knowland of California, Republican, is asserting that the American people would never approve government ownership of electric power as a national policy.
This is not a new controversy—for it was Senator Norris of Nebraska, Independent, and originally a Progressive Republican, who a few decades ago insisted that the Federal government appropriate funds to improve navigation and effectuate a system of flood control on the Tennessee river. It was argued then that this was a legitimate Federal purpose and that by-product—electric power—was incidental. The issue went to the Supreme Court of the two years. If they don't, the par gent can conveniently lose it any time after the second birthday without any fear that baby will begin thumb-sucking.
He adds that there is no harm in letting the baby continue to use the pacifier "to go to sleep" if he wants it.
So, after going through a period of condemning pacifiers we have come back to recommending them. There is no scientific objection to their use. And they seem to prevent thumb-sucking.

Karl Irwin Jr. of Finley, president, and Orlon Bebermeyer of Santa Ana, were installed president and vice president of the California State Christian Endeavor society at the convention held this week in Anaheim.
Marie Ward became the bride of Noel Sweeney in morning nuptials performed at the St. Boniface Catholic church on June 30. Father Keane of West Hollywood, formerly of the local parish, officiated.
Lt. Jack Shafer arrived here this week after liberation from German concentration camp. He joined his wife, the former Naomi Carlin, and family.
Miss Renette Hansen, Miss Jean Louise Sutherland and Miss Marjorie Coiffman returned to University of Southern California and summer school studies after a short vacation at home.
Miss Frances Braddock honored her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Braddock of North Clementine Street on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary when she entertained at the family home.
But as the years have gone by what was the incidental at the beginning — the generation of electric power — has become primary now. The advocates of government ownership of electric power when faced a few years ago in the Tennessee river with a seasonal shortage of water for electric power purposes, began to urge the appropriation of government money to build steam plants to generate electricity. Thus in time the government ownership supporters have made no bones about their original deception and have come out boldly for Federal construction of electric power plants of all kinds.
Certainly the government can furnish electric power more cheaply than private companies if the latter are not relieved of taxes. The government can sell anything to the consumer more cheaply than private enterprise if it wishes to subsidize the projects. In the case of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal government is collecting tax money from taxpayers in every part of the country and using it to benefit the Tennessee area alone. Some of the textile mills in the North have been forced to shut down because certain New England businesses have felt they could get cheaper power near the TVA in the South. That will hardly make votes for the Democrats in New England if they constitute them—for it was Senator Norris of Nebraska, Independent, and originally a Progressive Republican, who a few decades ago insisted that the Federal government appropriate funds to improve navigation and effectuate a system of flood control on the Tennessee river. It was argued then that this was a legitimate Federal purpose and that by-product—electric power—was incidental. The issue went to the Supreme Court of the United States which decided that the Federal government had the authority to construct such projects as flood control and improvements of navigation.

Thus in time the government ownership supporters have made no bones about their original deception and have come out boldly for Federal construction of electric power plants of all kinds.
Certainly the government can furnish electric power more cheaply than private companies if the latter are not relieved of taxes. The government can sell anything to the consumer more cheaply than private enterprise if it wishes to subsidize the projects. In the case of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal government is collecting tax money from taxpayers in every part of the country and using it to benefitthe Tennessee area alone.
