FOR YOUR INFORMATION BY VIRGIL PINKLEY Editor and Publisher IMPORTANT GOVERNORSHIP RACES POLITICIANS VS. VOTERS JFK TALKS TWO WAYS PRESIDENT SHOULD BE IN CAPITOL Politicians seem to operate on the theory that the memories of voters are short, or that the public generally thinks little about politics. Otherwise it is difficult to understand the about-face acts and statements of politicians in the current campaigns which are accelerating today all across the nation. President Kennedy is campaigning almost as vigorously as if he were running for re-election in 1964. He has spent far more time and effort in the mid-term elections than any recent occupant of the White House. At present he is on another of his fast breaking four-day swings to some five states urging voters to send even more Democrats to Congress. His statements suggest that his present 2 to 1 majority in the Senate and 3 to 2 lead in the House of Representatives should be at least 3 to 1 and 2 or 3 to 1 respectively in the two highest chambers of the land. Attacks Eisenhower Two years ago Mr. Kennedy attacked the then Republican Administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower as a "do-nothing" regime. serve his full four-year term in Sacramento if elected. President Kennedy today is asking that the nation return an even larger Democratic majority in Congress. Of the current Democrats in Congress many hold positions of great power and they have opposed much of Mr. Kennedy's domestic legislation. Most of these men have been renominated and probably will be re-elected. Mr. Kennedy is now trying to induce voters to defeat most Republicans and even those who currently are in Congress. This group, however, has supported him on some of his key legislation, especially on foreign affairs and his revolutionary foreign trade expansion bill. Now voters are asked to turn these legislators out. It has come to my attention as all things that concern you eventually do — that almost you American women who fail marriage have more or less same traits. The No. 1 indication that you are on the skids and heading for a tumble on the wrong side of the bed is tenseness and loose emotions. You're the jumpy type jumping every time he moves opens his mouth. With this goes hand in hand a sliding scale of moods. When everything goes your way you'll sing in the rain, your voice wring up there in the deliriums of haplessness. But let something not be your absolute liking and the voice turns to a whining, nasty snarl. This type of woman is dumpeed in no time. Another type of unsuccessful female ready to be ground up in the divorce mill is the woman clined to be irritable and dictatorial. She barks orders constant like some balcony-addicted dictator until finally, through sheer exhaustion and to keep her mouvement. Pokey Drivers On the Increase Citations for driving too slow in the left-hand lane of multi-lane roads. Attacks Eisenhower Two years ago Mr. Kennedy attacked the then Republican Administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower as a "do-nothing" regime. He said America had the lowest prestige in its history, that our standing abroad was shocking, that there was too much unemployment, business was stagnant and that if elected he would get the nation "moving forward" Two years ago Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown made similar statements as he campaigned for President Kennedy in California against Richard M. Nixon. Now today Nixon says that Brown has failed to produce enough jobs, that the economy of California needs to "move forward" and that Brown stumbles and bungles. Brown in return defends his administration against such charges just as Nixon did two years ago in behalf of the GOP. So it goes. One of the interesting aspects of the President's current all-out partisan campaign is that he asks for one thing today assuming that the voters will forget the acts and record of yesterday and past few months. As the shrewd and capable Scotty Reston, Chief of the New York Times Washington Bureau, states the situation: "President Kennedy is back on the campaign trail and once again he is in the sympathetic role of the boy on the burning deck." Technique Seldom Changes "His technique seldom changes. Even the words are the same. He is still for 'moving this country ahead.' He is still 'standing firm in Berlin.' He is still chopping away at the 'do nothing' Republicans." Then Reston continues: "It is the oldest and most successful formula in politics, and the President is good at it partly because he has been shrewd or lucky in his opponents." Dealing with the President's pre-election pledges, Reston adds: "It was effective Demo-nated and probably will be re-elected. Mr. Kennedy is now trying to induce voters to defeat most Republicans and even those who currently are in Congress. This group, however, has supported him on some of his key legislation, especially on foreign affairs and his revolutionary foreign trade expansion bill. Now voters are asked to turn these legislators out. Another Two-Way Stand Taking another two-way stand, the Chief Executive praises Congress with its heavy Democratic majorities, but then asks for men and women more to his liking be elected. So he mixes praise and censure for the Democratic 87th Congress. Personally, I wish the President remained in Washington more and spent less time on the partisan campaign trail. President Eisenhower was criticized frequently and persistently by many columnists and commentators in Washington for being away from the Capitol too much. These same men make little or no mention of the fact that Mr. Kennedy has been away from the White House much, much more and for far longer periods. I suppose it depends on whose dog is being kicked! My personal belief is that the President, be he Republican or Democratic, should be in Washington most of the time. This is especially true with such pressing and dangerous situations as Cuba, the war in Vietnam, Berlin, racial problems in Mississippi, and strikes in our key and defense plants to mention but a few. The Chief Executive can campaign if he feels he must in an off-election year by closed television circuit, statements to the press, letters and telegrams to candidates, radio interviews and by his daily acts and statements. But it would seem in the best interests of the nation to have our Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief in his office and on the job where he can contact and be contacted immediately on all current issues. Pokey Drivers On the Increase Citations for driving too slow in the left-hand lane of multi-lane highways increased 137 per cent over last year during the first two months of California Highway Patrol emphasis against the violation. Patrol Commissioner Bradford M. Crittenden said that in August and September, officers sued 3273 citations for this violation, more than double the 1380 citations during the same two-month span in 1961. Enforcement was accelerated following passage of a legislative resolution seeking increased action against drivers who create traffic hazards by cruising in the inside lane at speeds below the normal flow of traffic. Commissioner Crittenden again reminded motorists that, at any speed short of the 65 mph maximum, they must drive in the right hand lane whenever they are proceeding slower than the normal flow of traffic, except when passing or preparing to make a leisure turn. Bankers Group Wins Agricultural Award Outstanding service to the state's farmers and ranchers has resulted in the California Bankers Association earning the Agricultural Award of the American Bankers Association, for the 19th consecutive year. Notification of the award from the national organization of the banking industry was received this week by Paul B. Kelly, CBA president, from T. P. Axton chairman of the ABA Agricultural Committee and president, Lafayette Savings Bank, Lafayette Indiana. ANN LANDERS Three Stri Mom Feel Dear Ann: I wouldn't have believed it could happen to me a third time — but it has. My youngest daughter eloped with a fellow she met two months ago at the beach. This gives me a perfect record. I am now the mother-in-law of three bums. All my girls are beautiful and have lovely figures. This is not just motherlove. They have all won beauty contests. (The oldest won a state title.) My girls are intelligent, they hold fine jobs and could have made good marriages. But, no they go for men who can't make a living, and kick them around besides. My oldest daughter has left her husband three times since March. She is never without a black eye or a bruise. The middle girl came home with her suitcase and a broken collar-bone. Her husband drinks and goes off his rocker every Friday night. And now my youngest daughter married a loafer who'd rather collect unemployment compensation than work. Please explain why girls deliberately choose abusive and unworthy men? —H.S.M. Dear H.S.M.: Some girls think they can turn that sow's ear into a silk purse. They don't realize that after the bloom is off the romance, any attempt at reform is considered nagging. Psychiatrists tell us that women who put up with repeated physical abuse are sick. They feel worthless and inferior, and they unconsciously seek out men who will punish them. I'm afraid I haven't helped you feel any better, mother, but I've tried to answer your question honestly. Dear Ann Landers: I'm a married woman 44, with a lovely family. I've known for six months that I need surgery. I have been putting it off until I've run out of excuses. The reason I am avoiding the operation is because I'm afraid of what I might say under an anesthetic. My husband is the attentive type who would insist on being with me every minute. If I started to talk I could ruin myself. I can't discuss this with anyone for obvious reasons. Please tell me what to do. There must be a solution but I don't see it. —D.

By VIRGIL PINKLEY Editor and Publisher Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan is considered by some Western diplomats as the best of the bad lot of Russian leaders who are crafty, cunning and cruel. They must be to fight and claw their way to the top of the Soviet Communist heap and to remain there. Mikoyan is regarded by some students of the Kremlin to come the closest of any man there to understand America and Americans. They usually agree on two things. He is possibly the smartest man in the Kremlin. And aside from Premier Khrushchev, the Deputy Premier is probably more skilled than anyone in the top levels of the Soviet system at keeping on the right side of the right people at the right time. Certainly few in the Soviet Union have had more experience at that sort of maneuvering. Mikoyan has been called the "Great Survivor." Regardless of what happens in the Soviet struggle for internal power, Mikoyan always seems to survive and land on his feet. Pushes Trade Drives In recent years he has pushed Russian trade drives in all parts of the world. He has attempted to match our Marshall Aid and other vana. He has even been Castro's fishing partner. The Deputy Premier first came to the United States before World War II. He toured the country from coast to coast on a technical standpoint at least most of the time, and picked up ideas he was able to adapt to the Soviet system when he turned home. He speaks a language of English. A. I. Mikoyan is 66. He is sarthy, rather slender man with medium height, but with black hair, bristling black brows and black mustache showing some gray. He stooped. He is a dapper dress and a man who loves good life.

La-Savings Bank, Lafayette, ANDERS THE WILD WEST Oakland's New Airport Has O By LUCIUS BEEBE PERHAPS THE SADDEST TALE of municipal frustration in lo, these many many moons and one which must strike a responsive chord of pity and compassion in a thousand other communities the length and breadth of the land is that unfolded recently by the inaugural of Oakland's Municipal "International" Airport. At a cost to taxpayers both Federal and local of something in excess of $20 million, Oakland has bought itself a perfectly dandy airport. All the most modern properties of a meretricious age of gadgetry have been incorporated in its architectural and operational economy — automatic baggage handling, the sounds of duel-cet chamber music wafted over a loudspeaker system, IBM-activated ticket dispensers, a runway capable of accommodating the most conventional speed of light.

Dear Ann Landers: I was cheered when I read the letter in your column recently from the lady who was against back-zipers. For years I've been frustrated because I didn't know where to take my pet peeve. Now I know! I hope you will print my letter and shake up the big shots who run the looms in this country. Thank you.

During trade talks with Harold Wilson, a British Laborite official, Wilson once remarked with a bit of exasperation — "The trouble with you Russians," — Mikoyan interrupted with the reminder that he is not a Russian. Neither, he pointed out, was Stalin who was Georgian by birth. Then Mikoyan told Wilson that he and Stalin had a drink together at 7 p.m. each day. And he claimed they clicked glasses with the toast: "To blank-blank with these bloody Russians." Carpenter's Son Mikoyan was born in a small village of Armenia, the son of a devout carpenter. After he had finished the local schools, his father sent him to a seminary at the Georgian capital of Tiflis to study for the Armenian priesthood. It was at the same city, some 20 years earlier, that the man who was to become Stalin had studied briefly for the priesthood at a seminary of the Russian Orthodox Church. Prisoner. He escaped, made his way to Moscow, and after the Bolsheviks were in control was given a government job. He met Lenin and Stalin, impressed them with the quickness of his mind, and at 31 became Commissar of Internal and External Trade. As his country’s “store keeper” Mikoyan apparently made certain of his own security by seeing that the top leaders of government and of the Red Army were well supplied with food, clothing, and other comforts, whether anyone else had anything or not. Grand Quartermaster During World War II Mikoyan served as a sort of grand quartermaster of the Red Army. He organized a supply system that saw to it that the soldiers of the Red Army were well fed and comfortably clothed. He supervised the orderly removal of equipment and of Soviet factories in the path of the invading Nazis, to new location deep in the interior of Russia. He negotiated deals for supplies from allies in the war against the Axis, including 11 billion dollars worth from the United States. At times Mikoyan reveals a sort of droll humor. At one party, during a long series of toasts, he asked who or what they should drink to next. An American correspondent suggested Springtime Soviet system, and a man with priority to parcel out the countrys frequently extremely limited supply of consumer goods.

Oakland bubble, despite its good dimension of idiocy, Mikoyan was born in a small village of Armenia, the son of a devout carpenter. After he had finished the local schools, his father sent him to a seminary at the Georgian capital of Tiflis to study for the Armenian priesthood. It was at the same city, some 20 years earlier, that the man who was to become Stalin had studied briefly for the priesthood at a seminary of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Deputy Premier says the more he studied about God, the less he believed in God. At Tiflis he was converted, when still a seminary student, to another faith — that of communism. He is one of the few remaining Soviet leaders who was a communist dating back to the days before the Bolshevik Revolution. Mikoyan was wounded during a revolutionary battle, later taken or brief economic recession, taking investors and whole communities with them down the drain to oblivion. After half the Nation had gone through the wringer and comparative sanity had been restored to the financing of railroads, everybody charged off the fantastic losses sustained to education and remarked smugly that Americans would never again be subject to such preposterous delusions of regional grandeur. Half a century later the Wright Brothers' sickness became epidemic and scores and hundreds of municipalities, at astronomical cost, underwrote airports, of them "International," where no plane will ever land or take off. The American municipal mentality is impervious to learning anything from even the bitterest experience. There is one field of potentiality, however, which might be explored by Oakland with pleasure and profit to all concerned, and that is the possibility of moving all and every operation of the San Francisco airport from a community where it is hated and despised by every property owner and resident within a ten-mile radius lock stock and barrel to Oakland. It is just as handy to downtown San Francisco and there are residents in Burlingame, San Mateo, San Bruno and a dozen other Peninsula areas who would contribute liberally to financing such a move. They know by bitter experience that the community that has an "International Airport" has nobody but itself to blame. Brians Seeks Answer Briggs Seeks Answer To School Drop-Outs John Briggs, Republican candidate for the 69th Assembly District, following an address to the Stanton Kiwanis on the ballot propositions recently said he will work to find a solution to the "apalling high school drop-out problem we are facing in California." "I believe this drop-out situation has reached serious proportions," said Briggs, "and action to curb this problem must be given high priority in the next session of the State Legislature. Many mothers and fathers have informed me personally of the great hardships this problem is causing them and their teenagers. They are doing all they can to persuade their children to remain in school, but the interest is just not there. "I believe that the time has arrived for leadership which will allow our educational institutions to implement courses in our high schools that will give emphasis to the teaching of vocational training and trades. This will allow those students, whose interests lie in that direction, the incentive to remain in school, receive their diploma, and be prepared to accept employment in the industry for which they were trained," Briggs commented. "I would favor revising the educational code to give the local school boards more flexibility in determining the requirements for such a program in their area, and the encouragement of the implementation of a vocational training program that will help solve the drop-out problem," Briggs concluded.
