The Bulletin Editorial Page Thursday, April 23, 1959 Anaheim (Col.) Bulletin—C. A Step Forward It is always gratifying to an editorial writer to achieve success through the medium of the written published word. We cannot announce 100% satisfaction at this point, but only progress, The Mayor Of Anaheim Has A Designated Secretary. Now, without reservations, the switchboard operator of the City Hall can say to your request to leave a message for the Mayor, "I'll connect you with his Secretary," and sure enough, a dulcet toned female answers the telephone and takes the message. True enough our Mayor doesn't have a desk, a chair or a wastebasket, or an office, but "dulcet tone" is on the job. An efficient, polite eager-to-serve-her-public-in the-name-of-the-Mayor gal. She knows where he is and when he will be back, and she even makes appointments for him. We're not inclined to gamble, but wait and see, some day the Mayor will have open house, complete with furniture. This may take time, after all, the population of Anaheim is now just close to 100,000. And, the Mayor's job is considered a plush plum, he is designated as a salaried man, $50 per month, that is, if he ever actually collects it. Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — The three most famous present-day Republicans mounted the ceremonial platform of the Taft Memorial on the grassy slope of Capitol Hill. It was rare to have the three together — President Eisenhower, former President Herbert Hoover, and Vice-President Richard Nixon. In a few minutes, the President would be at the podium to dedicate the memorial. Just behind him and slightly off to the side, Hoover and Nixon would be watching attentively. What a superb picture this would make — the only chance to catch an unposed action shot of America's three biggest-name Republicans in this historic, sentimental setting on Capitol Hill. But there's always something to spoil a good shot. This time it was a water pitcher on a table next to the podium. And there was Stan, the camera man, bobbing around trying to fix his angle. No matter how he aimed, Hoover and Nixon sat hidden behind that pitcher. Now Stan Tretick is a perfectionist, a persistent professional. He is the one who took that grand prize winning picture of like in his golfing cap a few years ago. Stan, the star of the Saturday Evening Post story, "I Shoot the Big Shots," was once so persistent to get a good angle that gangster Johnny Dio cuffed him on the ear. While preliminary speaker Representative Carroll Reece (R., Tenn.) talked, Stan approached the Secret Service men. No, sir, said they, can't move that pitcher. Need an okay from Press Secretary Jim Hagerty, they said. Stan went through channels, which in this case were a couple openings in the crowded, grassy aisle, and Jim said, "Sure, go ahead and move it." But the agents intercepted the White House photographer. "You're not authorized up there," said they. Since Hagerty himself considered it too un-assistant to-the-Presidenblike to go around moving pitchers, there remained this one hope: Fishbait Miller, official doorkeeper, who draws a salary of about $16,000 a year for odd jobs like that. It is Fishbait Miller who opens the door for the President as he enters the House of Representatives for joint sessions. And it is only Fishbait who gets an announcement: "Mistah Speakuh! The President of the United States!" On the other hand, Fishbait's assignments know no menial limits. Once, for instance, I saw him at the rear of the House chamber waiting for Representative Ray Madden (D., Ind.) to finish his popsicle so that Fishbait could deliver the stick and wrapper to a wastebasket. Stan fished Fishbait out of the audience, and the doorkeeper dragged away the table with that pitcher on it. Persistent Stan got his picture, an excellent shot. That these three important symbols of government had gathered at the base of Senator Taft's carillon tower was perhaps the greatest tribute that could have been paid the man from Ohio at this time. And thanks to the persistency of one cameraman, the event was preserved for posterity — a photograph that was almost lost because of a pitcher of water.

"THE SOVIET STATE HAS NEVER HAD AND NEVER WILL HAVE ANY AGGRESSIVE DESIGNS AGAINST ANY OTHER COUNTRY" THUMB TACKS ALEXANDER Your Birthday by Stella THURSDAY, APRIL 23 — Born today, you have been given exceptional latent talent by the stars. If developed, this talent can turn you into a person who will influence the age in which you live. You seem to understand people and their motivations better than many, being able to use your talents in behalf of those less fortunate than yourself. You can write so vividly of a cause that you usually influence others to act. You make good use of your sense of humor and are never too serious in pressing home your point. You have an active, outgoing personality. Since you are blunt in expressing your opinion, you might cultivate a little more tact and diplomacy. You are so convinced of your "rightness" in everything that you don't see why you have to dress up the facts in fancy clothes. Keep in mind that others may not have your straight-thinking discernment. Such people often need to window-dress an idea to make it palatable. Your emotions are near the surface, and you are inclined to mistake infatuation for a true and lasting love. Fond of the beautiful things in life, you will want your own home to be a perfect setting for those you love. You women, especially, will spend a great deal of time and effort in being the perfect homemaker. Among those born on this date are: Stephen A. Douglas, the "Little Giant" of the debates with Lincoln; James Buchanan, U.S. President; Talbot Mundy, author; Viscount Edmund H. Allenby, famous British general; Freidrich von Hagedorn, German poet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Use your best judgment and you can turn this day into one distinctly to your advantage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22) A clear head and decisiveness are the two things which will augur for success now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20) — Stay calm, no matter what happens. If you are aware of pitfalls ahead of time, you can escape them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) — Avoid even minor risk-taking today. Stick close to established procedures for best results. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) — Use wisdom confidently and you can sidestep trouble today. Act on fact, not rumor. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) — Don't be "pushy" today. Sit back and handle things adroitly as they come along. (Copyright, 1958, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) THE Family Scrapbook At Home with the Handicapped Seven-year-old Andrew, returning from school, burst excited into the house. "Mother," called, "you know what? We had a blind boy in our class at school And he can do almost everything And I got to read a story to him today!" At first Andrew's mother was bit disturbed. She wondered when er it was fair to the other child to have a handicapped boy in room. But, as she heard me from Andrew and after visiting class, her fears were dissipate And she agreed with the teacher who had mentioned that it been a fine thing for all of them have the blind youngster as a regular member of the group. Of course, some children are seriously handicapped that would be difficult to include them in a "normal" group. But, except in unusual instances, it is to advantage of the normal child as well as the handicapped youths to work and play together. (Copyright, 1859, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence WASHINGTON — Christian A. Herter, the new Secretary of State, intends to follow the policies of his predecessor, John Foster Dulles. He said so plainly at Augusta, Georgia, last Saturday when his appointment was announced. But, due to one of those curious accidents that sometimes happen in handling news events, this particular statement wasn't reported in the press and was given only over television twenty-four hours later. Just after President Eisenhower "Q. I wonder if there is a thing you can tell us about possible changes in Foreign Policy." Mr. Herter: No, I won't go to the question of Foreign Policy at the present time, but I think you can assume from the fact that I have been a member of the team for some time that team policies will continue." Evidently the reporters gone away from the scene on Sunday to write their dispatches Among those born on this date are: Stephen A. Douglas, the "Little Giant" of the debates with Lincoln; James Buchanan, U.S. President; Talbot Mundy, author; Viscount Edmund H. Allenby, famous British general; Freidrich von Hagedorn, German poet.

Ralph E. Comstock Commanding WASHINGTON — Christian A. Herter, the new Secretary of State, intends to follow the policies of his predecessor, John Foster Dulles. He said so plainly at Augusta, Georgia, last Saturday when his appointment was announced. But, due to one of those curious accidents that sometimes happen in handling news events, this particular statement wasn't reported in the press and was given only over television twenty-four hours later. Just after President Eisenhower had announced the selection of Mr. Herter on Saturday last, the newsmen interviewed Mr. Herter at considerable length. Here is an important section of the stenographic transcript of the interview on which most of the news patches cabled around the world on that day were based: "Q. Mr. Secretary, do you foresee any changes in our foreign policy as a result of your taking over— "A. I will tell you, I am not going to go into detail on our foreign policy at this time. There will be time enough, if and when I am confirmed, to be talking about that." This was widely regarded as somewhat of an evasive answer. In fact, the New York "Times," in an editorial in its Monday morning issue, said: "When Mr. Herter met the press at Augusta, Ga., last Saturday, he dodged a question about changes in our Foreign Policy by the judicious remark that 'there will be time enough, if and when I am confirmed, to be talking about that.'" "Our Foreign Policy will be essentially what it has been since 1953. Mr. Dulles made most of it, and there are no signs that Mr. Herter wishes to unmake any of it." The editorial made the right inference. The first edition of the "Times" was on the presses when corroboration came in the 11 p.m. TV newscast Sunday night. Mr. Herter was shown on the screen as he answered questions from reporters as follows: "Q. I wonder if there is a thing you can tell us about possible changes in Foreign Policy. Mr. Herter: No, I won't go to the question of Foreign Policy at the present time, but I think you can assume from the fact that I have been a member of the team for some time that team policies will continue." Evidently the reporters gone away from the scene on Saturday to write their dispatch and didn't wait to watch the newsreel and TV cameras as what had been said previously conference with reporters for a printed page do not differ much. This happens to be a significant difference, and it is especially worth noting because there have been hints heretofore that Mr. Herter might change substantial the policies pursued by Mr. Dulles in the past. It will be observed that Mr. Herter spoke of having been a member of the team for some time and added that "the team policies will continue." The use of the word "team" may be new many readers who have been told to believe that there was "team" in the State Department under Mr. Dulles and that it was just a "one-man operation," as frequently mentioned by critics his policies. While the new Secretary of State means to carry on the policies: Mr. Dulles, it would be natural of course, to expect his man and method of conducting negotiations to be different. Mr. Herter for instance, may travel less and depend more on our Ambassador abroad. After all, in diplomacy there is as much individuality in any other official endeavor. (Copyright, 1959, New York Historical Tribune Inc.) Washington Report by James B. Utt It was my purpose to discuss the Federal Unemployment Standards Bill now pending before our Committee on Ways and Means. The following newsletter which was sent to his constituents by the Honorable Bruce Alger of Dallas, Texas, a colleague of mine on the Ways and Means Committee, expresses my position in the matter which such clarity that, with his permission, I am passing it along to you. Mr. Alger is the only Republican Member of Congress from the State of Texas. His voting record is parallel to my own. "The clash of traditional constitutional government of Federal State prerogatives against ever increasing Federal Centralization was never better demonstrated than in the 'Unemployment Compensation Act of 1959', during public hearings which are now before the Ways and Means Committee. The proponents of the bill are attempting to prove the bill's stated findings that: (1) States are failing to carry out the purposes and objectives of employment stabilization and security against unemployment; (2) The benefit amounts paid aren't enough; (3) State programs vary, are not uniform in eligibility, amount and duration of benefits. Therefore, to 'strengthen the economy' and provide for the general welfare of the Nation', it is necessary to impose Federal standards on the States. Witnesses testifying included economists, employment experts, business representatives. We are told we must force the States to broaden eligibility, to increase benefits and duration, regardless of State experience; (3) Increased taxes to business means higher Costs, thus higher prices to consumers. Labor leaders, therefore, would be cutting everyone's buying power in imposing arbitrary increases; (4) Increased taxes and costs to business could force more labor lay-off and so more unemployment; (5) The unemployed drawing benefits are over 50 per cent without dependents, including seasonal workers, and family members where others in the family work too — so it isn't the family head primarily being helped; (6) Actually, we have gone beyond the area of temporary unemployment compensation and are treating welfare and relief on the one hand or the need for more jobs on the other; (7) The increased benefit wages are getting close to the worker's take-home pay; we are placing a 'premium on idleness' and evasion of working, drawing benefits instead; (8) We are asked to forget the judgment of 7,613 State legislators; (9) The most heavily unionized areas, represented by the Detroit Mayor and AFL-CIO leaders, are the ones most desiring Federal control. Having the greatest failure in providing jobs, these men plead most for unemployment compensation. It seems it's time we tried to create new job opportunities locally — not beg for Federal control and aid. Whether new jobs or relief are needed, it's certainly not a 'guaranteed annual wage' for not nothing; (2). We are told we must force the States to broaden eligibility, to increase benefits and duration, regardless of State experience; (3) Increased taxes to business means higher Costs, thus higher prices to consumers.
