A Vital Result Post mortems on the election will continue for a long time, and will produce many conclusions of many varieties. There will be continued calls for regrouping, for united support of national goals. There will be solemn pronouncements that the Republican Party is dead, and suggestions as to how it can be resurrected in this or that or the other image. One election fact will remain clear and unchallenged. Something very exciting and rewarding has been taken away from national balloting and something very disturbing has been added; both by the electronic phenomena of computers and television. What has been taken away is the suspense, the growing tension, the delight or the disillusion or election night. With soulless computers giving us late-in-the-afternoon answers that we used to watch develop slowly over the hours, the whole thing has become rather cut and dried. Only the more local contests, scorned by the networks and their electronic genii, are left to give us the old excitement, if any. In this respect — the local area contests — there is a large lack, too, for local results are also produced as a result of new electronic equipment. Where the national and county totals are available more rapidly these days the vote at the local precinct level not known for several days in Orange County's new method of compiling votes. Nationally, what has been added the dangerously strong possibility the early announcement of probable outcome can and will affect voting in western areas where the polls still are open. The scramble for the scoop has moved light years from the old days of newspaper extras with their local revelation of voting progress. Now the nation knows in seconds what is happening probably will. On a county precinct level basis it takes days. Surely something must be done both cases. If we can close the box until the votes are all in, can't somehow regulate that potentially more influencing stimulant, earn broadcast of results? Or can't we spruce up the other side which is considerably slower than when election board men used to tally the ballots by hand. A serious and searching study both problems would prove a service to all. Major Concern The national election has focused attention on the federal government with big government and big spending an issue of major concern. Big government and big spending, however, have not been confined to activities in Washington, D.C. Here in our own backyard, state served by each government employer than today with one state person for each 171 residents, as compared with one state employee serving o 127 persons today. Total expenditures by the state government, meanwhile, have increased 138.1 per cent to a record $3,749,440. Major Concern The national election has focused attention on the federal government with big government and big spending an issue of major concern. Big government and big spending, however, have not been confined to activities in Washington, D.C. Here in our own backyard, state and local bureaucrats also have been having a fling. This is pointed up by statistics which show the growth in California State Government since 1956, as compared with growth in population. While population has increased only 39.4 per cent in the past 10 years, there has been an 87.5 per cent increase in the number of employees working for the state. In 1956 there were 44 more people served by each government employee than today with one state person for each 171 residents, as compared with one state employee serving over 127 persons today. Total expenditures by the state government, meanwhile, have increased 138.1 per cent to a record $3,749,400 from $1,532,811,000. Our state's tremendous population growth, it appears, has been used an excuse for mushrooming growth in state government. However, taxpayers ought to question this. Has there been a real need for lopsided growth in state government activities, or has it really resulted from costly bureaucratic empire building? This One, We'll Pass So far we haven't received an invitation to any of the five luncheons being planned in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Anteaters Association in Washington. And it's just as well. We don't think we could make it, anyway. DR. MOLNER More Than One Method BED-WETTING PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED By Joseph G. Molner, M. D.

But then think of South's play. Was he guilt- ALFRED STEINWOLD Contract Bridge National Men's Team Champion "Don't look now," North warned his partner when today's hand was over, "but your slip is showing." South was indignant, of course. He wanted to congratulate East, but he himself was innocent of any slip. South ruffed the second club with the three of spades and led the queen of spades for a finesse. When East played low without any thought, South repeated the finesse with the jack of spades. This time East took his king of spades and returned a trump, clearing the trumps out of the South hand. When East got his king of hearts he could also cash the ace of clubs to defeat the contract. Give East full credit for a very fine play and a very natural manner. But then think of South's play. Was he guiltless or guilty? South paved the way for his own downfall by ruffing the second club with the three of spades. He should ruff with the ten. Can Win In Dummy South can then lead the three of spades and win the finesse in dummy with the seven of spades. (If East takes the first spade trick South has an easy time with the hand.) Having arrived in dummy, declarer can return dummy's third club and ruff with the jack of spades. This has the lucky result of removing all clubs from the East hand. South leads the queen of spades and loses a finesse to East. For lack of anything better, East must return a diamond. South wins, leads a heart to the ace, draws East's last trump and gives up a heart trick. South easily wins the rest with the king of diamonds and good hearts, with dummy's last trump assuring control of the play. The play would be even easier if South decided to rely on a normal trump break. After ruffing dummy's third club, South leads a trump to the ace — disdaining a second trump finesse. He can then set up the hearts without relying on the fortunate break in clubs.

THE LIGHTER SIDE The Cautious Type By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — This year, as usual, I grew a small "victory garden" in my backyard. To spare you the trouble of pointing it out, let me say that I am well aware that World War H has been over almost 20 years and that the victory garden program therefore has lost some of its urgency. But I'm the cautious type. It has never been established to my satisfaction that Adolph Hitler really is dead Pending more convincing evidence, I intend to go on playing it safe. During the gardening season, which is just now coming to an end, I am always perplexed by what I regard as one of nature's most baffling mysteries—namely, how certain insects manage to find my garden. Attack Sugarcane Let us say, by way of example, that I plant some sugarcane. Sugarcane has never been planted before. There is no other sugarcane growing anywhere in the vicinity. And yet, as soon as the crop is above ground it will immediately be attacked by sugarcane mealybugs. How did those mealybugs find out that I was planting sugarcane? And how did they find their way through miles of trackless suburbia to a small backyard plot. It's uncanny, that's what it is. Uncanny and eerie and frightening. But something has just happened that makes me feel a little better about the whole thing. The U.S. Agriculture Department reports that its scientists have discovered what it is that corn earworms like about corn. In other words, they have extracted the substance that makes corn appetizing to earworms. When it is spread on fiber paper, the earworms will eat the paper as eagerly as they eat corn.

UPI ANALYSIS Financial Gossip By JESSE BOGUE NEW YORK (UPI) — Paper companies and forestry groups expend considerable sums of money each year to find ways to speed the growth of trees and to make them more sturdy. Now, there is another big and active industry which spends money to find ways to slow their growth. It is the electrical utility industry, as represented in the research activities sponsored by the Edison Electric Institute. Its work is being carried out by the Battelle Memorial Institute. In wooded areas where electrical lines are carried for distances on poles rather than underground, tree growth represents a continuing maintenance expense. For various reasons, the axe is not always the answer, yet trees must not be allowed to grow in such fashion that they encumber the wires. Studies Made Six years ago, on recommendation of the EEI Transmission and Distribution Committee, studies to find out how to slow the maintenance cycle was started up. According to a recent EEI report on research and development in the electric utility industry, the objective was to work out a practical method of slowing the growth of intact trees, and the regrowth of pruned trees, without killing the trees or impair their appearance. "It is estimated that a development of this type could produce savings to the electric utility industry on the order of $25 million or more annually by increasing the tree trimming work, using about 120 pounds from chemical and manufacturers; the change also developed some of own. They have tested the small greenhouse trees which appear able to grow without harm in tree are then graduated the "kindergarten" grow put to work on mature 10 to 15 years old, in where they reach their best toward the utility line. The EEI said that two pounds have shown an ability to suppress growth with ticeably altering the appearance of the trees.

I've put the reliable methods in a book, "Enuresis Or Ten ways to Stop Bed Wetting. If you would like a copy, send 20 cents in coin and a long, damped, self-addressed envelope to me in care of this newspaper. Decreasing fluids for the child in the late afternoon and the evening is usually helpful, even though other measures may be needed besides. I do not mention you, however not to say to "dry out the child." Everyone needs a good deal of fluid to be healthy. Indeed, too little fluid can contribute to irritation of the urinary tract and thus contribute to bed-wetting. So be sure that, in the morning and middle of the day, the child gets plenty of fluid—including, of course, his milk supply of milk. Not Quickly Overcoming Bed Wetting is not often accomplished quickly. It takes time, and it takes patience both for the child and for the parents, but if you go it the right way, there are mighty few cases of failure. If you go at it the wrong way, putting too much pressure on the child and not really trying help, then the opposite is the result: Success is more remote and the child may acquire some emotional quirks that will last a long time.

End Of Earworm Once the substance has been identified chemically, the next step will be to produce it synthetically. Then they will have the earworm where they want it. The stuff will be smeared on poisoned bait in the expectation that earworms will eat that and leave the corn alone. Maybe so, but this strikes me as being an unimaginative and inefficient application of an obviously brilliant piece of research. My experience as a victory GINGER BY GETTERMANN "I couldn't think of anything to do on a rainy day and my car needed oiling!" JOHN POWERS On Deadline Tomorrow, Veterans Day, takes on a high meaning in these challenging times. It is a day dedicated to peace and an opportunity to draw confidence from our history. It is the day when each of us should reassert his pride in being an American and rededicate himself to the maintenance of this country's military, economic and spiritual strength. What kind of man is veteran? Drawing profile of the American war veteran today would require an outline extending about 10 years at least, to include those of the Spanish American War: But to sum it up—here are the main points. There are almost 22 million veterans of all ears living in this county today. More than eight out of every 10 are married and heads of families. About 30 million persons have served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the various wars from the Revolutionary War through the Koren conflict—over half of all participants served in World War II. The last Revolutionary War veteran died in 1869, over 85 years after it officially ended; the last War of 1 128renteav the last War of 1812 veteran lived 1905, or 90 years after it ended; the last Mexican War veteran survived for 81 years after that war ended in 1848; and the last Civil War veterans, Union and Confederate, lived 90 and 93 years respectively, after the end of that war. Since World War I, The total number of living veterans has never fallen below 4.2 million and there were more veterans in 1958 (2.7) million than at any other time. Since World War II, one out of every five persons aged 18 years or more has been a veteran; in 1915, only one percent of the total civilian population aged 18 years or more were veterans. Since 1950, slightly more than one-third of all U.S. males at least 15 years old have been war veterans. In the years since 1940, the annual number of deaths of veterans has risen from 45,000 to 224,000. At last count a total of 3,814 Congressional Medals of Honor had been awarded (some of civilians and many posthumously). There were 281 recipients of the Medal still living as of August 1964. We know that some facts and figures can make dry reading but these men are closely linked with such places as Valley Forge and Gettysburg. When you look at a veterans parade can't you see the Alamo, Corrigedor, Pearl Harbor, Wake Island and Korea. And lest we forget, aren't these the men who wrote an mortal chapter in our history in such for away places as Flanders Fields, Bataan., Iwo Jima and Normandy. SYLVIA PORTER How To Spend It If our economy continues to grow at just a normally prosperous rate, today's federal fact is our national debt at the close of this fiscal year will be smaller in relation to the Type Work, using about 120 compounds from chemical and drug manufacturers; the chemists also developed some of their own. They have tested them on small greenhouse trees; ones which appear able to retard growth without harming the tree are then graduated from one "kindergarten" group and put to work on mature trees, 50 to 15 years old, in areas where they reach their branches toward the utility lines. The EEI said that two compounds have shown an ability to suppress growth without noticeably altering the appearance of the trees. One of them was used in field trials by five cooperating electric utility companies last year, and other tests have been conducted this year. It is believed that a practical method will be worked out. Today THE ALMANAC By United Pres International Today is Tuesday, Nov. 10, the 315th day of 1964 with 51 to allow. The moon is approaching its first quarter. The morning stars Jupiter, Mars and Venus. The evening stars are Jupiter and Saturn. The founder of protestantism, Martin Luther, was born on this day in 1483. On this day in history: SYLVIA PORTER How To Spend It If our economy continues to grow at just a normally prosperous rate, today's federal tax structure and rates will annually add $5 billion to $6 billion to the U.S. Treasury's tax take. Assuming we're not forced to spend this money on national defense, what might we do with these extra billions flowing to the U.S. government year after year? 4 Major Policies There are four major policies we might follow: (1) We could let the billions pile up while maintaining a ceiling on federal spending — thereby balance the budget in a hurry and use the emerging surpluses to slash our national debt. (2) We could use all or most of the extra billions to finance bigger federal spending programs in such obvious areas as education, health, welfare, urban renewal, highways. (3) We could put through repeated reductions in federal taxes — cut excise taxes next year and follow up later with more cuts in individual and corporation income tax rates. (4) We could distribute a hefty chunk of the billions to the states in automatic, unconditional, annual grants so the states could have more money to finance their soaring needs — particularly for education, health and welfare. Under Intense Study These four possibilities are being intensively studied right now at the highest levels of government. Even before any conclusions are reached by the administration or final decisions made by Congress, I'll forecast that one policy is sure to be rejected, another is highly improbable, a third is likely after prolonged debate and a fourth is a virtual certainty. Specifically: Almost sure to be rejected is No. 1 — letting the billions pile up to create surpluses for major debt reduction. When a surplus appears in the budget, it means the Treasury is taking more out of the fact is our national debt at the close of this fiscal year will be smaller in relation to the size of our economy than at any time since 1941. (This is because our Gross National Product has been rising rapidly while the debt has been only creeping higher.) Our national debt will be less than 50 per cent of GNP compared with 58 per cent of GNP in 1960 and an awesome 133 per cent of GNP at the end of World War II in 1946. Highly Improbable Highly improbable is No. 2 — using all or most of the extra billions for enlarged federal spending programs. There is an unmistakable desire in the U.S. today for a curb on the growth of federal spending and for giving additional spending power to individuals and corporations so the private sector of our economy can take over more of the job of sustaining prosperity. There will be increases in the budget because of our rising population and because of programs already voted, but the increases are to be restrained. Virtually certain is No. 3 — more tax reductions. Excise tax cuts are scheduled for 1965; there's almost unanimous agreement on eliminating, as a minimum, nuisance taxes on cosmetics, jewelry, furs, leather goods. Further individual and corporation income tax cuts are slated for later years to spur private spending and investing. Most Likely Likely after prolonged debate is No. 4 — distributing some of the funds annually to the states so they can finance programs traditionally under state and local responsibility — education, health, welfare — and pull themselves out of desperate financial situations. These grants also would strengthen the state-local side of our federal - state - local partnership — in the spirit of the times too. By well - timed programs for tax cuts and property directed programs for spending By United Pres International Today is Tuesday, Nov. 10, the 315th day of 1964 with 51 to follow. The moon is approaching its first quarter. The morning stars Jupiter, Mars and Venus. The evening stars are Jupiter and Saturn. The founder of protestantism, Martin Luther, was born on this day in 1483. On this day in history: In 1775, the U.S. Marine corps was authorized by the continental Congress. In 1919, the American Legion held its first national convention in Minneapolis. In 1950, the U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution asking the U.N. to call on communist China to withdraw troops from North Korea. In 1957, the U.S. Office of Education reported that a two-year study showed the Soviets ahead of the U.S. in its emphasis on technical and scientific education.

Specifically: Almost sure to be rejected is No. 1 — letting the billions pile up to create surpluses for major debt reduction. When a surplus appears in the budget, it means the Treasury is taking more out of the economy via taxes than it is putting into the economy via spending. This is clearly deflationary and the record of the late 1950s warns that a sudden surplus can choke off an economic advance. What's more, there's little enthusiasm in our country for large-scale debt reduction today, for the MR. TWEEDY by Ned Riddle "Well, then—sniff this one. Maybe she'd like it."
