New GI Bill
On our desk at the moment are three pieces of
printed matter. The first two are seemingly unrelated.
The third may serve to tie them together. They are :
1. An editorial from another paper pointing out
the high cost of a college education these days, de
claring that many families are unable, for financial
reasons, to put their children through college, and
suggesting that the youngsters help by working.
2. An editorial from a different paper which out
lines its objections to a flat age-based pension to non
disabled war veterans.
3. A long press release from the Veterans Admin
istration discussing the recent termination of the "GI
Bill" which aided in the education of more than 7,
fc00,000 war veterans.
THERE is at present a tremendous and unfilled de
mand for well trained and well educated people
in engineering, science, teaching at all levels and in all
subjects, newspaper work, executive positions in busi
ness ; in fact in a variety of fields on which much of the
welfare of the country depends.
This is a time of "full employment," with some
64,000,000 Americans holding jobs, the highest total
in history. About the only unemployment is technolo
gical or temporary, and these unemployed workers
are in fields where a high degree of training, skill and
education are not vital.
A flat pension for all war veterans at a particular age
regardless of ability or disability, or whether
disability was or was not service-incurred has been
proposed by one of the newer veterans groups.
It is not our idea of constructive legislation.
The cost would be phenomenal ; one minimum esti
mate places it at between $100 billion and $150 billion
over a period of years. While it is proposed only for
World War I veterans, if it were passed would it not
be logical in the future to extend it to the millions of
veterans of World War II and Korea? And would the
cost not bear clown on the very ones it is designed to
benefit, and their families.?
IVIILITARY service in time of war or national dang-
er is historically an obligation of citizenship for
American men. To those who were wounded or dis
abled in the nation's service, the nation owes help. But
a few months' service in the aimed forces should not
lead a man to expect automatic financial security in
later years.
The GI bill, we think, pointed the way to solve the
associated problems of a shortage of trained and edu
cated workers, of the need to provide an equitable sol
ution to the readjustment and educational problems of
young veterans, to the national upgrading of the edu
cational level, and to the almost desperate need of the
colleges and universities for a sounder financial base
for expansion and improvement.
THE proposal to revive the GI bill, and to apply it as
long as selective service or universal military train
ing are necessary, is not new. It was made repeatedly
as the term of the GI bill drew to a close. It will be
made again.
To us, it makes sense.
It is to the self-interest of the nation to improve
educational standards, and to provide added support
for universities and colleges. How better could it be
done, without the feared "federal strings" on aid to
education, than on an individual basis of help to veter
ans and their chosen schools?
It is to the self-interest of the nation to provide an
ever-increasing supply of skilled men and women, to
carry forward the miracles of production and distribu
tion which the national is gradually achieving.
It is to the self-interest of the nation to increase
the earning capacity of its veterans so they will not be
a burden on society in their later years.
(
A ND it certainly is to the self-interest of the young
veterans and their families to have sound assist
ance, which they themselves have helped to earn, in
gaining an education.
If young men and women are to serve the nation
for a few of the best years of their lives as is right
and proper then it is also right and proper to re
ward that service in a manner which will bring the
greatest possible good for the largest number.
We have seen no other proposal which so nearly
meets that requirement. E.A.
Solitude Diminishes
A father of our acquaintance gets up in the morn
ing an hour earlier then he really has to, just so he
can have one full hour of quiet, uninterrupted by tele
phones, radios, TV sets, callers or youngsters.
His job keeps him in constant contact with people
during the day and his family and "extra curricular"
activities do the same for the evenings. For an hour
in the early morning, though, he is at peace.
All of which serves to remind us of two things : A
person, to retain his balance and a sound and level
outlook on life, needs solitude once in a while, and,
secondly, such solitude is becoming more and more
difficult to achieve amidst the electronic devices of
our scurrying civilization.
THE electronics engineers, whose cleverness some
times borders on the diabolical, have come up with
a new gadget which threatens to destroy even more a
man's chances for solitary contemplation.
It is a radio about the size of a package of king
sized cigarettes one can wear in a breast pocket, and
which within limited range serves as a personalized
means of communication. A Washington, D.C., hotel
has already put it into use for "VIP's, convention man
agers, important guests and hotel executives" who can
be reached immediately anywhere on the premises.
Progress, of course, is wonderful. What we want
to know though, IS this progress? E.A.

Toughest Situation in Seven

Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop
CLOSE VOTE?
Washington As of today,
after a personal polling experi
ence in the Northwest and care
ful study of
all the other
rela t i v e 1 y
hard evidence
available, this
reporter is
ready to go
out on a limb
with the state
ment that the
election looks
.i:eiit Aiiuii iiKe a iiuiae
race
This is only going out on a
limb, to be sure, because of the
numerous pre-convention fore
casts of a record-breaking land
slide for President Eisenhower.
Shortly before the conventions
were held, for instance, Dr.
George Gallup published a poll
showing President Eisenhower
leading Adlai Stevensin by the
staggering margin of 61 to 37.
And these remarkable figures
were then accepted as perfectly
reasonable by a great majority
of trained observers, including,
I must add, myself.
Dr. Gallup was recently asked
whether he thought the Eisen
hower lead was still anything
like that indicated by his pre
convention poll. He replied
rather emphatically in the nega
tive. There was always, he said,
a strong tendency to close ranks
after the party nominees had
been chosen.
HPHIS theory of Dr. Gallup's
- according to my information,
will be sustained by a sharply
narrowed Eisenhower lead in
his first post - convention poll.
But although it is greatly daring
to say so, I would say that even
Dr. Gallup's figures on Eisen
hower's current lead will still be
likely to encourage Republican
over-optimism.
The first and least of my
reasons for this conclusion is
the sharpness of the switch from
Eisenhower to Stevenson that I
myself found in Portland and
Seattle, where I worked with
Lou Harris, an experienced pro
fessional in the polling business.
I did not think, and Harris did
not think, that our sample was
by any means large enough to
permit confident citation of vot
ing percentages. As already re
ported, we were only confident
that a rather massive Eisen-hower-to-Stevenson
switch had
taken place.
But in fact our sample in
both cities was enormously
larger than the Portland-Seattle
samples included in the latest
Gallup poll, which is based on
only 2,000 interviews for the
whole country. In fact our sam
ple will still be somewhat larg
er than the Portland - Seattle
samples to be included in the
special Gallup election polls of
the future, which will be based
on 10,000 interviews across the
country.
A ND this local Northwestern
sample of ours showed the
Eisenhower 1952 lead of 55 to
45 for Stevenson transformed
into an approximate Stevenson
1956 lead of 55 to 45 for Eisen
hower. Four years ago, Eisen
hower's majority in Portland
and Seattle was almost precise
ly identical with, his nationwide
majority. Thus the change in
the Northwest might well be re
garded as extremely ominous
for the Republicans except
that I do not take the exact per
centages seriously, although
they are based on local samples
so much larger than Dr. Gall
up's. On the other hand there is
important confirmation that the
transfer of votes from Eisen
hower to Stevenson is a very
genuine and very significant
phenomenon, which is not limit
ed to the Northwest. The "Wall
Street Journal," for example,
ordered its 12 strategically lo
cated branch offices across the
country to undertake a poll of
Eisenhower-Nixon versus Stev-enson-Kefauver
just as soon as
the Democratic nominees had
been selected. This was a poll
taken by a large number of ex
pert reporters, under orders to
get a representative cross sec
tion of opinion in a representa
tive cross section of American
cities.
THE "Journal's" re porters
found that just about 9 per
cent of those who had voted in
1952 were now changing their
ft J I
fj -J ft
Soviet Russia are getting near
the breaking point.
To make things worse, Ad
enauer fears with good rea
son that the United States
and Great Britain may withdraw
a substantial number of their
troops from West Germany.
West Germany Unarmed
That would leave West Ger
many, still unarmed, almost at
the mercy of an invading Rus
sian army.
Dispatches from West Ger
many report that Adenauer is
angry, especially at the United
States.
Ever since he was elected
chancellor on Sept. 16, 1949,
Adenauer has .been a pillar of
strength to the West. He has
stood up against Russia. He has
votes in one direction or the
other. They found further that
for every person changing from
Stevenson in 1952 to Eisenhow
er in 1956, there were no less
than four persons changing the
other way, from Eisenhower to
Stevenson. If you work these
"Journal" findings with the ac
tual voting figures for 1952, you
discover that an Eisenhower ma
jority is still forecast but a
nationwide majority of only
7,000 votes this time as against
more than 6,500,000 four years
ago.
Finally, there is the third
piece in the pattern the re
cent Minnesota poll that gave
Eisenhower 47 per cent against
46 per cent for Stevenson, with
the rest of the voters undecided.
Eisenhower carried Minnesota
four years ago by 54 to 46.
Hence the Minnesota poll sug
gests that the race this time is
much closer than it was in 1952.
And once again the Minnesota
poll is based on a massively
larger voting sample than the
Minnesota sample that is in
corporated in Dr. Gallup's na
tionwide percentages.
T REPEAT, all the cited per
- centages seem rather mean
ingless to me. Polling is only a
specialized and dramatically ex
citing branch of political report
ing. As an old city-room lag, I
deeply distrust the pretentious
scientific apparatus that has
been built up on polling's sim
ple, solid reportorial base.
At this moment I should still
bet, like most other people, on
a victory for President Eisen
hower. I would not wish to bet,
because the returns so far sug
gest that the campaign itself
may play a very great role in
the final result of the election.
If I were forced to bet I should
try to get some money on the
race being pretty close.
But perhaps thisj analysis will
be altered by the Wisconsin re
turns that will next be pub
lished in this space.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
More politics.
In a campaign speech the other
night, Former President Truman
accused President Eisenhower of
passing the buck to subordinates
in an effort to dodge responsi
bility and thus maintain his own
personal popularity.
Asked what about it, the
White House "refuses comment."
rpHAT is to say:
Ike considers the
and lets it go at that.
TN A speech in Springfield,
Illinois Adlai Stevenson says
this year's political issues are
NOT peace and prosperity the
GOP campaign theme but how
are we to go about GETTING
peace and prosperity.
He added:
"It isn't enough for America
just to hold onto what we have."
REMEMBER the fable of the
dog that HAD a bone and
saw his reflection in the water
and tried to get THAT bone?
He LOST the bone he had.
CHUCKS! Let's not be too hard
on the Democrats in this elec
tion year of 1956. If you'll think
back to 1936, you'll recall that
in that election year the pro
fessional GOP's were acting just
about like the professional
Democrats are acting this year.
They were kidding themselves
that they had a good chance to
win.
In 1936, the Democrats had
an immensely popular President
and conditions in the United
States were better in 1936 than
they were in 1932. Everybody
knew it.
So
The voters just listened to
what the GOP politicians had to
say and when election day came
they went to the polls and voted
to KEEP WHAT THEY HAD.
BUT enough of politics.
An American rocket expert
(F. C. Durant, president of the
International Astronautical Fed
eration) addressing the British
Interplanetary Society in Lon
don, says man will land on the
moon before the end of this cen
turv that is, before the year
2000.
Not only that. He predicts
taken West Germany into the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion and made it a key nation
in the Western defense pattern.
If there is any single allied lead
er who is indispensable, it is
Adenauer.
Adenauer was shocked by the
reported plan of Adm. Arthur
W. Radford, chief of the Com
bined Chiefs of Staff, to reduce
the strength of the United States
fighting forces by 800,000 men
and base American strategy on
nuclear weapons.
He sent Lt. Gen. Adolpf Heu
singer, chief of the fighting
forces, to Washington at once,
and also made inquiries in Lon
don about the determination of
Prime Minister Anthony Eden
to reduce Britain's armed
strength under nuclear-weapons
strategy.
Adenauer's fears were not
quieted when he was assured by
the United States and Britain
that they did not intend to with
draw troops from West Germany
at the present time.
Demands Unification
While all this was going on,
West German relations with
Russia were getting steadily
worse. They reached a new low
when the West German Consti
tutional Court, comparable to
the United States Supreme
Court, approved a five-year-old
government decree outlawing
the Communist party.
Adenauer made his latest
move in the Russian situation
Friday, when he sent a note to
Moscow demanding again that
the Soviet government agree to
the unification of Germany. He
said that Russia's attitude was
"contrary to every precept of
international law." As long as
Russia continues to block unifi
cation, he said, normal relations
wiU be impossible.
There is no chance that Russia
will agree, of course. It wants
to keep Germany divided.
Adenauer may be depended
upon to keep fighting. But he
can hardly be blamed if he feels
that he needs some help from
Germany's allies.
Headlines of Future
Forecasts by Writers
United Press correspond'
enis around the world looked
ahead at the news thai will
make the headlines.
Tactical Switch
The free-swinging, far-ranging
campaigning of Adlai E. Stev
enson and Estes Kefauver has
forced a revision of Republican
battle tactics. GOP plans for
President Eisenhower to make
only a handful of major speeches
and do little traveling have
gone down the drain. Mr. Eisen
hower isn't eager to wage a
harder campaign. But he is will
ing to do it if necessary, and his
doctors say he is physically able
to do more than he had planned.
Also, the Democrats are provid
ing him with an incentive by
their attacks on his administra
tion. A Different Ball Game
British officials aren't even
whispering it. But it's known
that Britain is more worried
about Russia than about Egyp
tian President Gamal Abdel
Nasser in the Suez situation.
That explains the swift, massive
British-French military build-up
in the Suez area. British mili
tary chiefs feel they can tidily
handle Egypt in the event that
fighting breaks out. But if Rus
sian "volunteers" started pour
ing into Egypt, as has been
threatened, it would be a dif
ferent ball game.
Crackdown Coming
Look for a government crack
down on the use of untested
chemicals in the food you eat.
Bills to give the Food and Drug
Administration more power to
police food "additives" failed to
make the grade in Congress this
year. But a lot of heat has been
generated by recent reports that
some dyes and preservatives
may be poisonous, may even be
potential causes of cancer. Insid
ers say a tough control law is
sure to pass Congress next year.
Popsie Wopsie Trouble
Marilyn Monroe is having
plenty of trouble with Britain's
Sir Laurence Olivier. He's the
boss an exacting one on the
set of "The Sleeping Prince"
film now in production in Lon
don. The studio is closed to news
men. But this much has leaked
out: Olivier just doesn't go for
Marilyn's new "popsie wopsie,"
"poopsie woopsie" baby talk
every time bridegroom Arthur
Miller walks on the set. Also, a
stickler for detail. Olivier doesn;t
hesitate to show Marilyn how to
act even how to walk in her
scenes. She's been close to tears
that man will be flying off into
space in a man-made satellite
within ten years.
WELL, one thing is certain.
I WON'T BE ALONG.
It isn't that I'd be scared to
go. Each of us has only one life
to lose, and no one knows when
he'll slip in the bathtub or fall
off a ladder and put an end to
it all.
I just like it here, and have
no desire to become an emigrant
to other worlds in outer space.
Today and
By Walter
THE BATTLEGROUND
Although, officially, the cam
paign has not yet begun, the
iocation and the general shape
of the battle
ground is al
ready visible.
So, at least, at
the risk of be
ing proved
quite wrong,
it now seems
to me.
The central
contest is for
Walter Upptnann the vote of the
Democrats and of the independ
ents with Democratic leaning
who in 1952 voted for Eisen
hower, but did not vote for
other Republican candidates.
The object of the Democrats is
to win back these voters to get
the full Democratic vote which,
when it is polled, makes a ma
jority. The object of the Re
publicans is not only to get the
Republican vote which they
take for granted but also to
hold on to the extra non-Re
publican Eisenhower vote, with
out which they cannot win.
This basic situation explains
many things. For example, why
"moderation" is the order of
the day in both parties. The
Democrats are avoiding anything
which would make it harder for
an Eisenhower Democrat to re
turn to the party. Not only
President Eisenhower but Vice
President Nixon also are avoid
ing anything which could of
fend a Democrat who has voted
for Eisenhower. For the Dem
ocrats, this means deflating
Trumanism and keeping it at a
distance. For the Republicans
it means squelching their rip
snorters who lust after a relapse
into McCarthyism. The Dem
ocrats and the independents who
voted for Eisenhower in 1952,
but did not vote for Republican
Governors, Senators and Rep
resentatives in 1954, are ob

definition, "moderates."

Missile Mystery
Allied intelligence experts are
reported to be in a flurry about
radar sightings of mysterious
objects" over the Baltic Sea
For three weeks, the North At
lantic Treaty Organization radar
station on Denmark's Bornholm
Island has been tracking the "ob
jects" by night. Flying at speeds
of 2,000 to 2,500 miles an hour,
they are reported to be coming
from the Peenemunde area of
Russian-occupied East Germany.
They fly from east to west, then
turn back in a wide curve. The
German wartime VI and V2
rockets were developed at Peene

Hoopes Concedes
Prosperity Makes
Difficult Campaign
Washington (U.R) Socialist
presidential candidate Darling
ton Hoopes concedes that "pres
ent prosperity" makes campaign
ing difficult for him.
But he forecasts "inevitable"
victory for Socialism sometime
in the future.
Hoopes said Sunday night on
the "Reporters Roundup" tele
vision program that he has no
"substantial reason" to expect
more votes in November than
the some 20,000 he received four
years ago.
The Socialist leader said the
obstacle standing in the way of
a successful Socialist campaign
is prosperity.
Prosperity
"As long as we have the pros-j
perity to the extent that we
have at the present time ... as
long as the workers are getting
even more than they got five
years ago, why probably they
will not rise up in protest," he
said.
Hoopes also complained that
his name will appear on the bal
lot in only 10 states that year
because of changes in election
laws.
Hoopes said he "certainly
thinks" he will ask President
Eisenhower to give him as well
as Adlai E. Stevenson secret
briefings on foreign affairs.
Mr. Eisenhower last week told
the Democratic presidential
nominee that the data gathered
by the top secret Central Intel
ligence Agency would be pre
sented to him during the elec
tion campaign.
"We want to see first whether
he would offer them." Hoopes
said. "He offered them to the
Democrats and he has not so
far offered them to me."
Asked how strong a trend to
wards Socialism exists in this
country, Hoopes said: "I would
say it is hardly even creeping."

This year he is out to prove
that he is making a new party
which is to have a new philoso

features of both of the old part

to hold on to the Democrats

cause they wanted a change
after 20 years of Democratic
rule.
Gov. Stevenson, on the other
hand, is not expecting to convert
Republicars. Rather he is trying
to win back Democrats. To do
this, he must show them that
if they come home, they will
find not only the old Democrat

THE CAMPAIGN is unusual in

expectations.
The candidates will not speak
much about them but the people
will very surely be weighing the
fact that he will be the oldest
President ever inaugurated
that he has had two severe Ill
nesses and that he cannot hope
to have as much power in his
own party during a second term
as he has had in his first, be
cause of the new constitutional
limitation which makes lt Im
possible for him to run again.

Kills Own Brother
GEO. N. TAYLOR
Cain and Abel were the sons
of Adam and Eve, our first par
ents. Out of jealousy, Cain kill
ed his brother
Abel and God
did not step in
and stop him.
From that day,
men have kill
ed, stolen and
done every
kind of sin,
with God leav
ing them free
to sin or not as
they might
choose. God also leaves you
free to sin and he leaves you
free to turn.
One In your heart accept
Christ as your own Lord and
Saviour, whose blood washed
out aU your sins. Then tell God
and he gives you eternal life.
Two Now grow up. Make
time for daily Bible and prayer.
Three Also earn eternal re
ward. Surender your abilities to
Christ. He then works out
through you and with you and
you earn eternal reward.
