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

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.

The Arabs named this celes
tial picture Flaxo Flaxen Thread
because they said that a piece
of ribbon was tied around the

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

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.

Russian Observers

Southern California
Los Angeles (U.R) Three
Russian observers of the U. S.
political campaign heard Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
speak twice today before leav
ing for San Francisco and more
observing.
The Russians sat on the side
lines this morning as Nixon ad
dressed a precinct workers' rally
at the Ambassador Hotel. Then
the interested visitors accompa
nied Nixon in a motorcade to
nearby Santa Monica for anoth
er Republican rally.
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,"

Gnirkin quickly revised it to
"remain in peace."
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

was not intended to interfere in
American elections.
