Well, Governor? It has been calculated that the average wage earner pays the equal of three months wages to what is rapidly becoming his master (rather than the servant it was intended to be) the Government. The shock of this realization is diminished when one considers the state of the world, the necessity of a retaliatory war machine, and interior improvements. We must all pay for the general good. But is the general good really advanced by taking such great chunks of a man's income that he must go into debt to maintain a decent standard of living? Is it furthered when the money, often the greater part of that earned, is taken to support a worthless lot of drifters and ne'er do wells who look upon unemployment insurance as their God given right, and not one they must earn? Is the general good served by making liars and cynics of the populace at tax time? Is it served by destroying a man's incentive to be imaginative and hardworking in order to get ahead in the world? Do the crimps, cramps and restraints of cancerous taxation really make our country, and our State, a healthier, safer place in which to live? And above all, do these taxes to support welfare help to make men, or do they serve instead in the creation of an Orwellian, faceless, dehumanized creature who is of no more value in the scheme of things than a herd animal, a sheep? Well, Governor? Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — Those dingblasted newspapers. They have the nerve to publish news stories disclosing salaries of Congressional relatives. And they're doing it to cover up the "big stories." But what's really bad is that the publishers go switching reporters' facts around to suit themselves. To top it off, there are those reporters who write stories about how our taxpayers' money is being spent — just to build up their own egos. Of course, all this is just a lot of wind, but that's what the gentlemen said. And they weren't smiling when they said those things. In fact, they were scowling. It's an old trick of the Republicans to accuse their accusers to cloud up an issue. The issue in this case was Congressional nepotism. The lawmakers met, as the House administration subcommittee, around a long mahogany committee table on the third floor of the Capitol to hear four earnest colleagues tell why the House of Representatives should make public all names, salaries and duties of their employees. Rep. William E. Minshall Jr. (R., Ohio) said his resolution would protect the dedicated, hard-working relatives now on the payrolls. Rep. Wayne L. Hayes (D., Ohio) didn't altogether agree. He said he'd offer a substitute resolution to force all private businesses in the country getting Federal subsidies to do the same. This, he said, included all newspapers on the grounds they use second-class postage in mailing out their papers. Rep. George M. Rhodes (D., Pa.) seconded the motion. With a dark look, he said, "It's about time for the people to see what goes on behind the scenes. The public should know about the evils of the press." It struck me as strange that taxpayers' do-re-me — was evil. But Mr. Rhodes went on. He said papers were printing stories on nepotism to avoid the real issues. He didn't say what the real issues were. Mr. Hayes interrupted. Reporters, mostly, he said, were doing a good job, but when the publishers got hold of their copy, they changed facts to suit themselves. That remark caused me to search my memory. In all the 23 years in the business, the only time an editor or publisher blue-penciled my copy was when I got too blasted long-winded. And there was mild, self-effacing reporter Vance Trimble scribbling notes in a corner of the room. It was Mr. Trimble who broke the nepotism storm the first of the year. Mr. Hayes glared at him and said the reason Mr. Trimble wrote those nepotism stories was to make himself feel better — to take away his inferiority complex. The Ohio lawmaker wanted it known, though, that all newspapers don't use bad ethics. "After 11 years in Congress," he said, "I have one paper in my district that supports me." He said that is a good paper. Mr. Rhodes, who said he used to be a newspaperman once — he operated a linotype in Reading, Pa. — kept his argument going even after the committee broke up. He said to me: "After all, the Teamsters are being forced to open up their books, why shouldn't newspapers?" I asked him if he were comparing newspapers with the Teamsters Union. He said: "I certainly am." I would say that, generally, our Congressmen — who've received tens of thousands of scathing letters on nepotism from their constituents — are kinda sore at the newspapers.

Farmer McCabe Discussion is now going on whether to permit beer sales on college campuses or not. Some advance the argument that beer is an aid to digestion. In case this idea is adopted, I can just see some teacher asking, "What are the three stages of growth and development?", and some student answering, "Blur—Blur!—Blur!" Farmer McCabe (all rights reserved) Looking Ahead by Dr. George S. Benson NEW LOOK AT CASTRO News of great importance to Americans is coming out of Cuba—showing up the Castro "revolution" in its true light after he had been portrayed as Cuba's saviour. Dale Francis, one of the top journalists for the Catholic press in America, did more to build up Fidel Castro into a "George Washington of Cuba" and his rebel hordes into a 20th Century Christian crusade than any other newspaperman. He spent much time in Cuba immediately after the rebel take-over of the country and his reports back to America, published widely in the Catholic press and quoted as authentic by many top-flight American newspapers, gave glowing tribute to Castro and his rebels. Mr. Francis publicly denounced the two or three outstanding American authorities on Communism who warned the nation that Castro had been working with Latin American Communists; that important Communist agents were leading his rebel forces, and that beamed to America, said: "The Castro government has re-established a regime of freedom." Clear-Eyed Look Needed Our column written late in February and published early in March was entitled: "What About Castro?" The column said: "Americans need to take a long clear-eyed look at Fidel Castro... there are facts about him and his rebel forces which indicate he is not all that he has been built up to be by some important facilities of American communications." Then were cited some facts about Castro's Communist connections. A few readers wrote in to tell me I was unduly alarmed. They declared that Castro was Cuba's great saviour. They enclosed copies of Mr. Francis' articles. Now comes the latest Francis articles. He returned to Cuba in mid-March, and his article published in the Catholic press of March 21 reports as follows: "The Red move to take over started early in March. I arrived in Cuba and a cold chill crept over me as I realized what had happened."

MARIA'S 2ND IN U.S. HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — "The Hanging Tree" is the second American-made picture for European film star Maria Schell. The first was "The Brothers Karamazov." reports back to America, published widely in the Catholic press and quoted as authentic by many top-flight American newspapers, gave glowing tribute to Castro and his rebels. Mr. Francis publicly denounced the two or three outstanding American authorities on Communism who warned the nation that Castro had been working with Latin American Communists; that important Communist agents were leading his rebel forces, and that Cuba appeared to be getting a dictator who would be worse for Cuba and for more dangerous to America than the one overthrown. One of the men he denounced was Dr. J. B. Matthews, whose article establishing some of the Communist connections of Castro's rebels, and some of the facts about Castro's personal connections with Communists was written within 72 hours after dictator Batista fled Cuba and the bearded one took over. Buldup for Castro Here are some excerpts from Mr. Francis' widely published first report: "Despite what you may have read, the Cuban rebels are not Communists. There is absolutely no doubt about Fidel Castro... There is no Communist indoctrination in the rebel forces, not even the slightest degree of Communist propaganda." His long dispatches were filled with defense of Castro for the wholesale executions, praise for the character of the man, confidence in his rebel forces. He called Dr. Matthews a "propagandist" and denounced as "false" the message of warning in Dr. Matthews' article. A good deal of Mr. Francis "'facts" about Castro came from Castro himself, from the Catholic clergy of Cuba (Cuba is 90 per cent Catholic) and Catholic lay "action" groups. Both the clergy and the lay groups have said publicly they gave "most effective support" to the "triumphant revolution." On March 15, the influential lay groups, in a formal statement that Castro was Cuba's great saviour. They enclosed copies of Mr. Francis' articles. Now comes the latest Francis articles. He returned to Cuba in mid-March, and his article published in the Catholic press of March 21 reports as follows: "The Red move to take over started early in March. I arrived in Cuba and a cold chill crept over me as I realized what had happened... The Unpleasant Truth "It is an unpleasant truth for me to face . . . but for the welfare of not just Cuba but all of Latin America and of the United States, it is a truth that must be made known . . . For the first two months after Batista's flight the mirage of peace was allowed to continue. Then difficulties began to creep in and the Communists finally made their move . . . "Classes were announced for soldiers and they were compulsory. But they were not classes to teach men to read and write. They were classes to teach Marxism . . . the man who directs the classes in La Cabana is Alfredo Guevara, a known Communist." (The new head of Cuban education proclaimed himself "a free thinker"). "Castro is practicing a tranny as great as that of his predecessor . . . He has openly proclaimed that anyone who in any way disagrees with him is a counterrevolutionist . . . there have been executions with no trial at all . . . The proof that Castro cannot be believed, that he never intends to hold free elections, is in his absolute denial of the right of any other parties to form . . . "Known Communists have worked themselves into high places in the government." (Francis names 12) "...the stabilizing influence of older men in the cabinet is gone. The president, Manuel Urutia, is joked about in public . . . I am sorry I was proved wrong, not because of my pride, but because of saddens me to see Cuba fall under a new tyranny." Next week: Further details on Castro. Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence WASHINGTON — The biggest piece of news in the political arena since the Congressional election last November, is the way a coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats can line up to keep the Senate almost evenly divided and force passage of remedial legislation or compromises on radical proposals. The two-thirds majority won by the Democrats at the polls last autumn, which was counted on to override any presidential veto, has vanished. Mr. Eisenhower's power on basic economic issues has, in effect, been restored. Only two northern Democrats — Senators Lausche of Ohio and Dodd of Connecticut — stood with the Republicans, while only two Republicans — Senators Javits of New York and Langer of North Dakota — deserted the otherwise solid front that was presented last week by 32 Republicans in making it possible, with the addition of 15 southern votes, for the Senate to adopt a "Bill of Rights" to protect the members of labor unions in America. The particular amendment that was passed, may yet be further changed by other amendments in conference between the two houses, but the die has been cast — the Senate has gone on record not only against the practices of corruption that have victimized union members and led to a misuse of their dues money, but against the coercive threats inside and outside of labor-union meetings that have abused the "Civil Rights" of many workers. Congress, due to the heroic battle waged by Senator John McClellan, Democrat, head of the Senate while stating that they will accept the compromise bill passed by the Senate, will try in the house to water it down further. In the House of Representatives, however, there's an even stronger coalition available in support of the Senate action. Incidentally, the labor-union chieftains do not seem to worry about the fact that, under the compulsory-union privileges hitherto granted them by federal law, the right of free speech and the right of free association have been in many cases taken from American citizens. The labor bosses, applying the same sort of argument about alleged interference in union affairs, spent many millions of dollars last year in campaign propaganda distorting the "Right to Work" principle into an alleged hostility to labor unionism itself. The revelations by the Senate Rackets Committee have shown the American people how monopoly power in the handling of labor-union affairs can aid the gangsters to get control of unions. It is a weak rebuttal to say that the addition of a "Bill of Rights" amendment may endanger the passage of any anti-racketeering bill at all at this session. If the Congress is going to be intimidated by such pressures, the sooner the American people know the facts, the more effectively they can prepare to defeat at the next election those senators and representatives who will have stood in the way of remedial legislation. For this reform is intended to preserve the "Civil Rights" of workers against the flagrant abuses that have arisen under the various forms of compulsory unionization that now prevail. Congress, due to the heroic battle waged by Senator John McClellan, Democrat, head of the Senate Rackets Committee, is apparently awake now to the perils of the labor-union monopoly. The danger is in many respects worse today than it was when the corporations had a stranglehold on American business before Congress began to pass strong laws banning concerted "restraints of trade" and "trusts." What makes so significant the adoption of the original "Bill of Rights" amendment to the labor-reform bill by a 47-46 vote of the Senate is that last November many millions of dollars were spent by the union forces to elect a large number of northern Democrats and generally to fight Republicans. Today the Republicans from the north again have as their allies the conservative Democrats from the south. This is a salutary development for America. It means that other unsound measures, like those calling for excessive spending by government, can be held in check, too, by the threat or use of the veto. For it is these pressures, along with the monopoly power of large unions, that are to a large extent responsible for sending prices upward and bringing about today's inflation. Politically, embarrassment has come to the Democratic Presidential aspirants as a result of last week's roll calls. Every one of them present voted on the side of those who would sabotage the "Bill of Rights" for labor-union members. The one candidate who was absent — Senator Humphrey, of Minnesota — was announced against the "Bill of Rights" amendment voted on last Wednesday. Only Vice President Nixon — who had a chance, when this particular amendment was being reconsidered, to cast his vote to break a tie — came out of the scuffle with his prestige as a presidential candidate enhanced. He stood with the rank and file of America's workers against the labor bosses. There will be more test votes taken on fundamental issues arising out of the pending labor bill before Congress is finished with it. The labor-union bosses, THE Family Scrapbook Cardboard - Box Doll House The grocer on the corner can furnish the building materials for a fine cardboard doll house. Ask him for a box about 14" to 16" square, one 10" square, and an extra from which a roof can be made. The larger box is for the house, the smaller for an attached garage. A gable roof is made by forming two hollow triangles which can be glued to the flaps of the house box. When the box is shut, the roof is in position, but the flaps can still be folded back so that one can arrange and rearrange the furniture in the house. The garage is flat-roofed. Windows and doors either can be painted on the house and garage or made separately and glued on. If one wishes to be really "fancy," windows and doors can be cut out, the windows covered with cellophane and ice-cream sticks used for ledges. The door can be hinged by using pieces of adhesive tape. If the young builder likes the idea of bay windows, these can be made from halves of oatmeal boxes and taped to the house. CO.
