DOUGLAS Written For United Pres. Living costs have reached an Il-time high. According to sober observers, the inflationary situa tion we face is real and, because of steel price increases, it is likely to grow worse before it gets better. It is but another of the many signs that an economic imbalance underlies the spotty and uneven "prosperity" which Republican orators find so per fect. We know something Is out of order when one segment of our economy big business reaps rec-r ord profits while other import ant segments like agriculture and small business suffer heavy reverses. We know that everything is not perfect when food costs rise while the farmers' share of the consumers' dollar shrinks from 47 to 38 per cent in less than four years; When the net income of our farmers has dropped one-fourth since 1952; Signs Of Trouble When small business profits have fallen more than 50 per - cent and small business failures have increased 50 per cent since 1952; When distressed areas over the country remain with us;1 When many important com munities, notably those depend ent on motor car manufacturing, farm equipment, textile and coal Industries, have been hard hit by unemployment; When one family in five has an annual income of less than $2,000; and When housing starts have de clined to 230,000 in one year. A major factor leading to the distortion of our economy was the administration's discrimina tory 1954 tax program which gave three fourths of the tax re lief to corporations and families with incomes above $5,000. A large blow to our economic stability was struck by the ad ministration's Abandonment of B0 per cent parity farm price supports and by its trimming of other important farm pro grams. The administration raised the interest rate too fast and too far in 1953. This contributed heavily to the 1953-54 business recession which the President and his cabinet secretly regarded as most serious, while they publicly at tacked Democratic critics of the situations as prophets of "doom and gloom." Cities Democratic Aids Another heavy blow came with Republican policies which raised the interest tates on loans to small business, hardened cred it requirements and sharply re duced small business' share of defense contracts. But the administration con tinues to view conditions through rose-colored glasses. It proceeds with policies which have pro duced economic imbalance since 1952. Democrats raised the mini mum wage to $1 over' the op position of President Eisenhower and Republicans in Congress. The vast majority of Republi cans voted against the Demo cratic program to extend social security protection to women at 62 and disabled workers at age 50. The administration blocked the Democratic program for aid to economically distressed com munities. Meanwhile, the President wrongly claims credit for "stop ping inflation" which had been stopped by the Democrats in 1951. The record shows conclusive ly that the Eisenhower adminis tration is committed to policies which favor special interests and which tend to throw our eco nomic system out of kilter. The record of this same period also L G. -Shy- MORTHIAND Adv. Pd. for by Morthland for Commissioner Comm. Jack Williams, Chairman r-.

By JAMES P. MITCHELL Written For United Press I am confident that the work ing men and women of the United States will vote over whelmingly on Nov. 6 for the reelection of President Eisen hower. They will do so: First because they admire the man, his deep sincerity, and his great ability. They are confident that he knows how to keep the nation at peace. Second, because during his ad ministration and due partly to his policies there has been un precedented understanding and cooperation between labor and Constellation Near Great Square in SW By FAY BENTLEY "Mother Mother!" screamed a panic-stricken child. Greatly alarmed, the mother sprang to her feet. Venus, mythical goddess of love and beauty, sitting in the cool shade of a tree while her small son, Cupid, played in the shallow waters of a nearby stream, was terrified by sounds which broke the stillness of the bummer afternoon. The bellowing of an angry bull changed to a loud hissing as if coming from a hundred snakes. The earth trembled be neath her feet while the sur rounding mountains echoed the hideous noises. Then while the ground continued to quake, the hissing was mingled with the roar of an outraged lion and again the bellowing of the bull. Paralysed With Fear Paralyzed with fear, Venus caught the hand of her small boy but could not tell which way to run: the sounds seemed to issue from every direction! Suddenly the forest was parted with giant hands and Typhon, the most horrible being ever seen on earth, appeared in the opening. Topping a gigantic body were a hundred dragon-like heads with dark flickering tongues and nostrils that spat forth great balls of fire. Even the gods were afraid of this monstrosity. Knowing that escape by -land was impossible, Venus dashed for the river bank, holding Cu pid tightly by the hand Diving into the water, the goddess transformed the lad and herself into two fishes which swam quickly out of reach of the ter rible Typhon. Gratitude for Escape In gratitude for her narrow escape from the hideous crea ture, the goddess persuaded Ju piter, king of the gods, to place the two fishes in the sky as a constellation. And there they may be seen to this day as one of the star groups in the Zodiac. Pisces the Fishes consists of the Northern Fish and the West ern Fish with a large 'V! lying between and below them. It is a very old constellation that cov ers much space in the "heavenly sea" as the ancients called this part of the sky, due to the fact that thousands of years ago, rain always fell in Babylonia when the sun was between the earth and the star groups in this reg ion of the heavens. Pisces is important to us be cause the vernal equinox, or the first day of spring occurs when the sun is between this sky pic ture and the earth. Arab Nam The Arabs named this celes tial picture Flaxo Flaxen Thread because they said that a piece of ribbon was tied around the tails of the two fishes.

Third, because the policies of the first Eisenhower administra tion have helped to shape in our nation new dimensions of economic growth and opportun ity for all. The worker, whether he be longs to a union or not, must ask himself this fundamental ques tion when he steps into the poll ing booth: Beit In History "How have working people fared under the leadership of President Eisenhower?" On the basis of fact and record, the answer can only be: "Better than under any other President in history." More than 66 million men and women were at work in Septem ber, more than in any Septem ber in our history, and nearly 4 million more than in 1952. Unemployment has dropped to a rate lower than existed in any of Pisces pict anything horrible they used the sign of the Fishes as this was deemed to be unlucky. Not so with the early Hebrews. They regarded Pisces as their favorite constellation and used the fish as a religious symbol in Chris tian drawings on the walls of the Catacombs in Rome and other places. To locate Pisces the Fishes find the Great Square, a rather large rectangle formed by four stars, which will be seen high in the southwest about 8 p.m. during the early part of Novem ber. This Great Square is the body of Pegasus the Flying Horse. Below and east of Pegasus are the two Fishes. A small, five sided figure often called a "cir clet" or "lozenge" lying below or due south of the Great Square outlines the Western Fish. Due east, or to the left of the Great Square, a tiny triangle repre sents the Northern Fish. Leading away from each fish is a long line of faint stars. These two lines meet and form a large sprawling 'V with its point much lower in the sky than the Fishes. According to mythology the 'V is formed by a long rib bon which ties the tails of the Fishes together. Temperatures in Texas vary from an annual mean of 56 de grees in the Panhandle to 74 de grees in the Lower Rio Grande valley. , ' DONT SCARE US Sanrlv Meek, dancer at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas, iev. uas all the props of the familiar Hallowe'en witch as , she plays the part of a hobgob lin but so.'.iehow she doesn't scare us even a tiny bit. COUNTY peacetime September during the 20-year Democratic rule. Factory wages are at an all time high, -13 per cent above what they were in January, 1953. Never in the 35-year history of the Labor Department's cost of living index have consumer prices been so stable for as long a time as they have in the last 3Vi years. In short, the working man not only makes more money, but his wages buy more than ever be cause inflation has been checked. For example: In 1952 a factory worker had to work 23 minutes to buy a pound of hamburger. In 1956, to buy the same pound of hamburger, the same worker needs to work only 12 minutes. Worker Buys More In 1952, the worker had to ut in seven hours and 38 min i tes to buy a pair of men's shoes. 1 iday he needs to work only six t urs and 55 minuies. 'The worker's 'paycheck in 1956 buys more for him and his family than ever before in our history. , To the working people of America, the Eisenhower admin istration has meant much more than prosperity. It has meant unprecedented understanding be tween labor and management. It has meant planning for the fu ture. It has meant peace in the world. These are the compelling rea sons why working men and women will help to return Presi dent Eisenhower to the White House. . & - - - r .M:t..'. 'm0a -Z"' " " lmmtmm limns!

S. political campaign heard Vice President Richard M. Nixon speak twice today before leav ing for San Francisco and more observing.

Visit Movie Studios The trio later boarded a plane at International Airport for San Irancisco to climax a three-day visit in Southern California. Du ring the tour, the Russians heard both Democratic and Republican candidates and also took time oil to visit,, movie studios in Hollywood. During a press conference at UCLA Saturday, the language barrier created quite a problem and also one big laugh. L. N. Solovyev, deputy of the Supreme Soviet, told the news men through a State Department translator that "the first step to ward world peace is prohibition of atomic weapons." The translator, Vasia Gnirkin, continued the translation as fol lows: "When this problem is settled then the people of the world may rest in peace." The phrase, "rest in peace," How do you describe a ear so daring In concept, so revolutionary in features and advances, so rewarding in beauty and performance? How do you explain its newness when everything about It Is new? On display today is just such a car the Swept-Wing '57 Dodge that steps you into the wonderful world of Autodynamics.

One of the other observers, V L. Kudryautsev, an Izvestia edi tor, charged that the U.S. news leleases of 'he crucial events in Poland and Hungary were "too sensational." He added that even Russian newspapermen tend to dig up anything sensational. Kudryautsev also declared that Russian Premier Nikolai Bulganin's recent letter to Pres ident Eisenhower on the H-bcmb was not intended to interfere in American elections. The other member of the Rus sian group is M. L. Rubinshtein. of the Russian Academy of Sciences and also a magazine editor. Eugene Man Killed In Arizona Mishap Winslow, Ariz.
