The Bulletin Editorial Page B-4—Anoheim (Cal.) Bulletin Tuesday, April 21, 1959 Public Schools Week The observance of Public Schools Week in late April each year serves to point up the vital place in our democratic system which these schools hold. This, of course, was the purpose in establishing the "week" just 40 years ago. But in the four decades since then the growth in both the importance and the problems of our public schools makes this particular week one of the most meaningful of any such observances. And while we hear much of the difficulties and shortcomings of our public schools system in these days, it should also be noted that efforts to correct these conditions are steadily increasing. Certainly the public is more alert to the needs of our schools than ever before, and business and industry are constantly increasing their aid. The public schools are everybody's business. They're not only the business of parents with youngsters in school but of those whose youngsters are grown and people who have no children. Why? Because the kind of nation—and to a large extent, the kind of world—we have tomorrow largely depends on how well our offspring are trained for it in school today. Visit the classrooms during Public Schools Week. It will encourage the educators and better inform you on the splendid work they are doing. Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — I've been thinking about what my old friend—and the friend of all taxpayers—Rep. Clare Hoffman (R., Mich.) had to say about us reporters. Spongers, he said we were, because we've been keeping an eagle eye on him from up here in the press gallery. He would take away the use of our typewriters in the Capitol, he said, because they were owned by Uncle Sam. First, I must come to the aid of a fellow journalist, Ines Robb, whom Mr. Hoffman singled out just because she stamped on a sore toe — our lawnmakers' free privileges. Revengefully, ruefully, said he: "She sits up there and pounds a government typewriter, lolls back in a comfortable chair, has a cigarette tray handy if she wants one, a glass of cool, clear water..." My dear Mr. Congressman, there are no drinking glasses up here — and no ash trays, either. And, in the first place, Mrs. Robb wasn't even up here, and, instead, typed that nasty ole column on a machine of her own. Huffy Mr. Hoffman could have saved the taxpayers $120 right then and there, had he known the facts, because it took him a page and a half of print in the Congressional Record (for which the taxpayers must pay at the rate of $81 a page) to say what he did. But as to us bona fide spongers, I guess we could manage to keep check on how lawmakers are spending the taxpayers' money without the use of typewriters up here. Of course, Mr. Hoffman, a self-avowed champion of nepotism, could then claim we're sitting on government chairs and walking on government marble floors, and try to bar us altogether from snooping. And that's just what one lovely lady legislator proposed. That was Rep. Iris Blitch (D., Ga.) who said she wouldn't allow reporter Vance Trimble to step through her (the taxpayers') door. The crime that Mr. Trimble committed was writing all those nasty stories about nepotism — and about Mrs. Blitch's $100-a-month office, paid for with those hard-earned income taxes paid by you and you and that other taxpayer. I guess we could all fold up our typewriter ribbons and get out of here, and let all the extravagantly-legalized dollars go down the sink hole without a word to the taxpayer. But I don't think they'd stand for it. They want to have the privilege, a least, of knowing which sink hole their dollar disappears into. Our absence, however, would be felt even harder by Mr. Hoffman's colleagues who keep sending us breast-beating pronouncements — printed at government expense — which they desire for us to write up on Uncle Sam Machines. This, I dare say, would spell bankruptcy for a lot of elected Joes whose names would be forgotten by their voting public were not for our faithful mention of their names in print. Even when we kid them, they like it — just as long as we spell their names right. I would say that our dear friend, Mr. Hoffman, was snarling at the wrong front porch when he looked up at the House press gallery and said it was we — not the Congressmen — who were sponging. At least, he must have thought better of it because he deftly removed the thing about sponging from the Congressional Record. But he did say it. We heard it with our own two ears. And they, Mr. Congressman, do not belong to the government. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate Inc.)

THE ADMINISTRATION UNEMPLOYMENT ALEXANDER Your Birthday by Stella TUESDAY APRIL 21—Born on this first day of the incoming sign, Taurus, you are ruled by Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. You have a magnetic personality and are steadfast and enduring in your attachments. You are by nature, a builder, whether in the field of ideas or by the work of your own hands. You have a good head for business and probably will prosper. You are not one to be satisfied with anything second-rate. You would rather take nothing! You are a person of moods, and it is difficult to determine exactly how you feel inside. You have a dogged independence which exerts itself continually. You are a better "no man" than a "yes man." You can be quite stubborn when it comes to getting what you want. You are rarely, if ever, persuaded to act against your better judgment. The one weak spot in your armor is the strength of your affections! You will do anything for those you love. The stars have given you several talents, but unless you specialize in some one thing, you will never become outstanding. You will merely be competent in many fields but an expert in none. Yet, if you discipline yourself in one area of expression, you may become famous in your own time. Among those born on this date are: Max Weber, political economist; George P. Gordon, inventor; John Muir, naturalist; Peter Ave-lard, theologian and philosopher; Elizabeth II of England. To find what the stars have in store for you tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. Wednesday, April 22 TAURUS (Apr. 21-Jay 21) — Be sensible today. Don't go off the deep end in enthusiasm over Guard against a potential business loss today by being very careful with details. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20) — One of those days when caution is the watchword for everyone—and you are no exception. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) — Stick closely to tested projects. Don't experiment with anything new until later on. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) — If you are in full control of the situation, then you can see that nothing goes wrong. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20)—Fulfill your duties efficiently and conscientiously today. Be especially careful in all business matters. Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc. The Lighter Side by Frank Eleazer WASHINGTON (UPI) — Our lawmakers have their own book collection, called the Library of Congress. This library spends 18 million dollars a year, has 2,600 employees, and with 36,905,919 entries in its catalog is probably the biggest anywhere. It appears now though that some of the congressmen have been putting in fewer rush calls for its magazines and out-of-town papers. Along with pretty near everything else that's printed, recorded, or photographed, the library gets most of these. And a "very few" members, it now is closed, have kept delivery crews busy hustling late issues free ice, and between them they know all about everything. All a member of Congress has to do is get on the phone. The experts will answer his questions, do his research. They will write him a speech, with or without jokes. They need to know only the subject, and which side he on? Wanted Text For A Friend They don't admit to having ghostwritten any congressional book. One lawmaker sent along two volumes recently printed in Japanese translators had been tied up on this job a couple of weeks; library boxes decided this was a little too much, especially when it was learned the member didn't make the request for himself. Among those born on this date are: Max Weber, political economist; George P. Gordon, inventor; John Muir, naturalist; Peter Avelard, theologian and philosopher; Elizabeth II of England.

VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23)—Relax tensions and don't be forced into doing the wrong thing! Be alert to possible change. LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)—Know where you are headed, then be confident in your decision and act wisely upon it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)—Just watch your step today.

Benson The Two Berlins East and West Berlin are separated only by a barbed wire fence constantly patrolled by gun-carrying Communist police. This Iron Curtain runs directly through the heart of what used to be one sprawling city, dividing it into two distinct zones. The two cities, side by side, present the world's most dramatic comparison between capitalism and total socialism. A West German worker can stand in his apartment in one of the tall modern apartment buildings a few blocks from the dividing line and actually see across the Iron Curtain and study the desolation and poverty of the Communist zone. An East German worker living under Communism can climb up through the rubble to the top of one of the vacant, shattered buildings in the Soviet sector and gaze out across the rising, shining, prosperous new city of West Berlin. And when he does, he doesn't wonder any more about the Communist propaganda against capitalism. He knows that it is false. Millions Are Hearing Millions of people behind the Iron Curtain have heard about this stunning contrast in the two cities. Millions of Europeans know about it. And this is one of the principal reasons Soviet dictator Khrushchev wants to first "neutralize" West Berlin, and then wipe it off the face of the map. The contrast of East and West Berlin is giving the lie to the whole Communist propaganda barrage being d Twelve years ago Communist Russia, as one of the Four Powers meeting at Potsdam, agreed to maintain complete freedom of all transportation arteries into West Berlin from the West. But that was only expedient for the moment, and the Communist bosses, in their worst nightmares, never dreamed that individual freedom under capitalism could accomplish so much in so short a time as has happened in West Berlin. Miracle Of Rebuilding In the 10 years since establishment of the West German Federal Republic and the beginning of free enterprise capitalism in West Berlin, the flattened, prostrate city (approximately 75 per cent destroyed in the great blockbuster and fire-bomb raids) has been reborn and rebuilt. Its automobile plants, its machine tool industries, its steel fabricating and appliance factories, its new textile industries, already have gained worldwide markets. It's commercial and residential streets are brand-new and modern. Its shop windows are overflowing with high quality merchandise. The streets are crowded. And the people are enjoying the highest living standard of their lifetime — rapidly overtaking the people of the heavily socialized nations in Europe. Every factor of economic progress shows a continuing upward surge. Just a few miles away, in the totally socialized Soviet city of East Berlin, the hard reality is stagnation, poverty, desolation, life Millions Are Hearing Millions of people behind the Iron Curtain have heard about this stunning contrast in the two cities. Millions of Europeans know about it. And this is one of the principal reasons Soviet dictator Khrushchev wants to first "neutralize" West Berlin, and then wipe it off the face of the map. The contrast of East and West Berlin is giving the lie to the whole Communist propaganda barrage beamed throughout the world. To his Kremlin yes-men, Khrushchev has described West Berlin as a capitalistic "cancer" growing in the land of socialism and he wants it cut out by the roots and buried. He knows that to anyone except the most sightless, warped Communist, West Berlin must be viewed as a veritable garden spot rising up out of the desolate, stagnant desert that Communism has made of its 42,000 square miles and the shattered, forgotten cities of East Germany. To Khrushchev, prosperous, expanding capitalistic West Germany is a foot-long thorn with barbs on it digging deeper and deeper into his hide. It is a glittering show window, trumpeting the success of capitalism. Communism came into being 110 years ago declaring that capitalism was a burden on human society and that the socialism designed by Karl Marx would create a "paradise" for all mankind. It dedicated itself to stamping out capitalism by force and establishing world socialism under a dictatorship. Mustn't Look Khrushchev doesn't want any free-minded person in the vast Communist domain — now enslaving nearly a billion people — to see what capitalism is doing for all categories of citizens in West Berlin. John Noble, the American who spent three years as a slave in notorious Vorkuta prison camp in northern Russia, reports that the Red Army men who guard the prisoners of Vorkuta are those who, while on military duty, have had a glimpse of West Berlin or other prosperous areas outside the Iron Curtain. They are kept at primitive Vorkuta, in the frozen Arctic, at least two years to erase from their minds all remembrances, and to frighten them with the possibility of long imprisonment there — if they do not forget!
