Share The Blame A great many people these days do not seem to be doing much thinking about the likely destination of all these supposedly "free rides" on the federal government "gravy train." The whole spectacle of growing federal enroachment on our liberties pinpoints the fact that states, cities and individuals, as well, must share the blame. Many apparently have accepted a line of thinking in which the future of our country has little personal meaning. Ignored is that our actions of today determine what the world of tomorrow is to be. But what about our children and our grandchildren, and our great-grandchildren? Will we leave them a rich heritage such as we received from our forefathers? Or will we impose upon them the "iniquity of the father?" Let our actions arm them with the truths they will need to preserve this nation's heritage of individual freedom and opportunity and so understand what a free and representative government stands for. The Way Of Chaos A recent national meeting of the Episcopal Church found the clergy and the laity divided on a fundamental question of social behavior: is defiance of law "for reasons of conscience" morally acceptable? The question at issue, of course, was that of participation in civil rights demonstrations. In voting on a resolution stating that some laws are "in basic conflict with the concept of human dignity under God," and that the church recognizes "the right of any person for reasons of conscience to disobey such laws or social customs," a majority of the clergymen in the House of Delegates voted yes. The lay delegates, however, rejected the resolution. Both groups must approve any such statement before it can become effective church policy. In the debate preceding the vote, one layman characterized the resolution as "the way of chaos." And, indeed, it would be. Bad laws should be opposed; but there are legal means of doing so. Prohibition should have taught us that the way of disobedience, while it may be technically effective, can be terribly costly in moral values. The civil rights movement will not be well served if the people are encouraged to feel that disobedience to law is morally acceptable so long as it fits one's personal conscience.

Respectability's OK In a letter to all school board presidents, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Max Rafferty has called for an all-out effort to "make respectability popular and licentiousness bad business." He knows the schools alone can't solve the problem of juvenile delinquency and all its vicious manifestations, but he feels they should do what they can. They can help, he says, by stressing in the school rooms "the importance of property rights and the need for decent behavior by the individual toward others; "and by emphasizing "the need to obey the law even when we won't agree with it." Let us hope Dr. Rafferty's crusade works. If more young people can be persuaded that respectability is, after all, respectable, President Clark Kerr won't have so much trouble with those insurgent juveniles on the University of California, Berkeley, campus. DR. MOLNER Nervous Systems Dear Dr. Molner: When I become nervous, embarrassed or very tense, I break out in a rash that resembles hives on chest, face, upper arms and neck. My skin becomes blotchy and I am very self-conscious. As soon as I start relaxing the rash begins to disappear, usually in 10 or 15 minutes, depending on circumstances. Do you have any suggestions? — G.R. I wish you had mentioned your age. A trouble like this is quite common among young people but tends to disappear with maturity and sell confidence. (Some people, though, never get over blushing.) Second Phase Sometimes there is a second phase of the same sort of nervous reaction, around the menopause. Your physician may be able to help. You put your own finger on affected by our emotions, psychological factors and some other stimuli. It raises "goose pimples" when we are cold, makes us perspire when it is hot, makes us shiver, or our scalp tingle with fear or excitement. Our heart speeds up and glands pour extra adrenaline into our system in time of danger. And among other things, the autonomic system controls the blood vessels. In some individuals the nervous system is more sensitive in this regard. Anyway, that is the general explanation for blushing and similar manifestations, such as your nervous blotches. As you learn not to let unimportant things upset your emotions, your autonomic system will react less vigorously. It is possible also to give medications that will lessen the blush reaction — drugs of the belladonna group and others that quiet this special nerve. Dear Dr. Molner: My daughter has a terrific case of impetigo. I have had so much different advice on how to care for it that I am really confused. Nobody seems to agree on the same type of treatment.—Mrs. F. F. Impetigo is a staphylococcus infection of the skin. The usual treatment is with antibiotics which, of course, must be prescribed by your physician. Do as he says. Dear Dr. Molner: At what age should one take vitamins? — Mrs. H. W. Age and Vitamins At any age when you are not getting enough of the right ones in your food — which is another way of saying that, except for cases of certain diseases, or highly restricted diets. Taking vitamins in pill form is useless or at any rate wasteful, if you already are eating and cooking properly. ALFRED SHEINWOLD Contract Bridge National Men's Team Champion Normally you need about 26 points to make game. Still, you should not expect to find 52 high-card points in the deck if both sides bid game. Nobody North dealer East-West vulnerable NORTH 105 A94 KQ6 AJ1054 WEST AQ87 KJ9642 3 Q106 J7532 A94 Q82 SOUTH 3 KJ8752 108 K963 North East South West 1 1 2 3 4 4 5 All Pass Opening lead — A adds three aces to the deck's 40 points. Instead, it should be clear that at least one side is relying on short suits instead of high cards. Very few players managed to make five hearts with this hand when it was presented by Terence Reese in 1930 as part of a contest. Most players followed the old rule about playing the ace and king with nine cards in a suit. South usually led out the ace and king of trumps after ruffling the second spade, now it was impossible to make five hearts. Same players usually played the clubs the same way, and then had to lose a club trick as well. This method of playing the long suits would be reasonable if the opponents had passed throughout. Since the opponents actually bid up to four spades, South had to expect singletons or voids. Plays Trumps First Since there is only one way to play the trumps, South should ruff the second spade and lead a trump to dummy's ace. On returning a trump and finding that East follows suit, South should reflect that only West can have a singleton in trumps. Since singletons are expected, South should finesse with the jack of hearts. The finesse works, and South draws East's last trump. Now it is time to tackle the clubs. Since West has a singleton in hearts, it is reasonable to expect East to have the singleton in clubs. South cashes the king of clubs and leads a club to try a finesse with dummy's jack. Both finesses work, and South makes five hearts. Careful attention to the bidding is necessary to produce the best line of play.

BY LYLE WILSON United Press International Hidden somewhere among the 26 million voters who supported Sen. Barry M. Goldwater for president was a hard core of conservative citizens who may be expected to continue the bloody battle to turn the Republican party to the right. At the very least they seek to turn the party away from the left. How many there may be of these hard-nosed conservatives is a question of much significance to the future of the GOP. Republicans should have some idea of those numbers before they decide who should walk the plank and who should be retained in or be promoted to party leadership. For a starter: There are more than 200,000 hard-nosed conservatives in New York state. There is a minimum of 203,369 of them and, likely, a great many more than that. The 203,369 New Yorkers thus confidently tagged as hard-nosed conservatives were those who voted on Nov. 3 for Prof. Henry Paolucci, the Conservative Party Inc., (CPI) candidate in New York for the U.S. Senate. Cheerful Note If conservative Americans have nothing else to be cheerful about, they have New York state's Conservative Party Inc., a remarkable outfit. CPI was placed on the 1962 New York state ballot by petition, a formidable achievement. It fielded a candidate for governor — a Syracuse businessman named David H. Jaquith who was abolutely unknown politically. New York state requires a party to poll a minimum of 50,000 votes to remain on the ballot for the following election. Jaquith, in 1962 polled more than 141,000! This was an achievement bordering on the miraculous. It was a measure also of the burning resentment of conservative New York Republicans against the soft-boiled Republican leadership of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and Sen. Jacob K. Javits. The conservatives this year put up unknown Prof. Paolucci for the Senate solely as a rallying point for assembly of another protest vote against the Rockefeller - Javits leadership which CPI deplores and is determined to destroy. Paolucci's vote was sufficient warning to the soft-boiled state Republican leadership that it must in the future give some consideration to conservative citizens. Sums Up Meaning The New York Journal American summed it up in these words: "What all this means, in terms of New York politics, is that the Rockefeller Republicans must reckon with a small but potent leverage group whose vote or endorsement might make or break a GOP candidate for almost any important state office." Date In any moderately close election the upward of 200,000 conservative votes in New York state undoubtedly could assure the election or assure the defeat of a Republican candidate. And that is how the Conservative Party Inc. intends to play it. No. 1 objective is to get rid of Rockefeller, then of Javits. THE LIGHTER SIDE That’s Luck BY DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — speaking of rotten luck, the American Radio Relay League is celebrating its 50th anniversary next month. I don't mean a 50th anniversary is unlucky. This one just happens to be rather poorly timed. If it had been last month, the league, which is the nation's largest amateur radio organization, would have had a presidential candidate to help it celebrate. And if the elections results had been different, it is likely that a presidential election If Sen. Barry M. Goldwater won. I knew, of course, that he was behind in the polls, but I believe in playing on. I was prepared to relate how radio hobbyists such as Goldwater got their nickname "hams." It is a shortened form, of the cockney pronunciation of "amateur," namely "hamateur." I was prepared to relate what happened to a merchant marine officer who fell in love with a young lady ham whom he met on the air. He proposed by Morse code and they how have "his" and "hers" solutely unknown politically.

Consequently, the way it looks now, the league's birthday will attract little notice outside the ham fraternity. I wouldn't have mentioned it myself except for the fact that I happened to be in something of the same fix. During the recent campaign, I collected a lot of information about amateur radio operations, figuring I would have material for a raft of columns I was prepared to relate how radio hobbyists such as Goldwater got their nickname "hams." It is a shortened form, of the cockney pronunciation of "amateur," namely "hamateur." I was prepared to relate what happened to a merchant marine officer who fell in love with a young lady ham whom he met on the air. He proposed by Morse code and they how have "his" and "hers" telegraph keys. I was prepared to relate the unusual experience of a man in Idaho. He picked up ham radio signals on his electric organ. Being reluctant to waste such scintillating material, I have been searching since Nov. 3 for some way to tie it in with President Johnson. But despite his predilection for initials, he apparently never had much truck with short wave. Even so, all is not lost. In the course of my research regarding ham radio, I ran across some rather interesting data regarding hamburgers. I should be able to work that into a column the next time the President has a barbecue. Mail Box Letters are important to a newspaper.

GINGER "Gee, you're the first bab JOHN POWER On Deadline The average dining room table will have 11 and a half people around it on Thursday. This was revealed in a survey by a well known furniture manufacturer. The firm makes a lot of dining room furniture and wanted to see how much wear and tear it was in for on the dining room's biggest day of the year. That "half" will not necessarily be a toddler who only eats a half-portion of turkey. The typical Thanksgiving gathering will range from nine to 14 people, the survey found, and will include cousins, aunts, uncles, children, parents, grandparents and assorted bachelor friends. For Thanksgiving dinner it will be tables for two or tables for 12 at most restaurants, according to the survey. A lot of restaurants will rearrange their furniture for the day, in fact. That's because most Americans who dine out for Thanksgiving fall into one of two categories — young couples feasting on each other's company, along with the turkey, or big family gatherings letting the chef do the cooking. The usual parties of four or six will be conspicuous by their absence from the restaurant scene. Eating out on Thanksgiving is no longer confined to people who have nowhere else to go or have to work that day, the Shelby Williams study continues. More and more people are having their Thanksgiving dinners in giving Season. Perhaps we are a little bit biased about the matter. And perhaps some of us consider Thanksgiving just another one of the many holidays we celebrate in an off-hand, casual fashion. To some of us it is the football day of the year. To others, it is "a day off," a welcome interlude to enjoy a lavish turkey dinner and then laze around the house in slippers and robe. It might be wise to think for a moment and realize that this Thanksgiving Day will simply be another 24 hours of gnawing hunger for peoples of many climes. Experts say that by 1970 hundreds of millions of children and adults in Asia, Africa and Latin America will face slow death by starvation. Our three great faiths, the Catholics, Protestants, and the Jews jointly help feed many millions of undernourished men, women and children in scores of countries overseas. Every Thanksgiving Season, the three faiths unite in a public appeal and urge Catholics, Protestants and Jews to contribute to this vital humanitarian endeavor through their places of worship. We would like to add our voice to the Religious Overseas Aid appeal and asks everyone to mark their thanksgiving for the abundance of America by helping those across the seas who are not as fortunate. These worthwhile appeals are: Catholic — The Bishops' SYLVIA PORTER Contributions A simple way to save taxes when you make your charitable contributions in the remaining weeks of 1964 is to give your contributions in the form of property which has gone up in value rather than in the form of cash. By giving a charitable, religious or similar organization property which is now worth more than it cost you, you can take a charitable deduction for the value of the property. Yet, while this permits you to deduct more than you paid for the item, you pay no tax on the increase in value. If, though, you had first sold the property and then given the cash to the charity, you would have had to pay tax on the increase in value. Let's say you usually give your church, or college, etc., $400 at this season of the year. You pick out shares of stock you own now selling for $20 each against your original purchase price of $10 and contribute 20 shares to your charity. Deductions The charity sells the shares for $500, gets your usual contribution. You get a $400 charitable deduction. You pay no tax on the $200 difference between your cost and today's market value. Had you sold the shares yourself and given the $400 in cash, you would have created $200 of taxable profit. Digital gains on stock, this method of selling at your cost can be particularly attractive to you. You may be postponing sale only because you want to wait for more than six months to get the benefit of the lower tax on a long-term capital gain. By selling the stock to the charity at cost, even within the six-month period, you satisfy your charitable inclination and, at the same time, you in effect realize your short-term capital gain tax-free. If you are in the business of selling goods—either as a retailer, wholesaler or manufacturer—you can by contributing your own merchandise to charity get a built-in substantial tax break. Stocks, Bonds As an investor in stocks, bonds, etc., you must have securities which have risen in value in order to benefit from the techniques I've described here. But as a businessman, you always have "appreciation" in the value of your merchandise since you sell at a pricer higher than your cost—and this higher price produces your profit. If you, a businessman, contribute your goods to a charity instead of selling them, you pay no tax on any By Gettermann you're the first baby-sitter I've had twice!"
