Try and Stop Me ; By BENNETT CERF CARL GOERCH, of Raleigh, tells about a riiial school master who gave one of his gangling pupils a richly de served thrashing for disobedience. The next day the boy's burly father collared the schoolmaster, bawled him out for five minutes, and concluded, "If you ever lay hands on my boy again, I'll give you such a licking your, own mother won't recognize you. The schoolmaster, a Judo expert, calmly pinned the father's right arm behind his back, and announced, "One . more word from you, you old fossil, and I'll stuff that miserable brat of yours down your threat. The father remarked meekly, "Aw, shucki Now you've gone and let yourself git,mad!" , .. A visitor asked a. bright-eyed little boy, "Wifoe, how do you like school? Willie answered, "Closed." - 0 1939. by Bennett Cwt Distributed by Kinr Features Syndicate. Washington Report y WILLIAM S. WHITE DANGER SIGNS? Washington A new and drab reality of increasing danger to the Republicans in 1960 is rising while Pres ident Eisenhower travels the globe for the shining ob jective of peace. No sensible man would try to alter i the P r e s 1 dents priori ties. An end tn the cold WwmS' war is surely the highest possible necessity. But is there wisdom in the 1 President's decision to go out personally all over the world in search of this prize? For this, too, cannot be denied: there is a still-faint but spreading cloud over this country's economic skies. And if this small darkness overhead is allowed to grow, it could change the whole condition of next year's pres idential campaign - quite apart from being very bad news for us all. Profits and employment are high, it is true. Some able business forecasters see 1960 as a year of fabulous boom. But even a layman, with any recollection of the past, can see that there are distinctly soft spots in this happy pic ture. Farm income continues down. By mid-November it had fallen to the lowest in 19 years. The cost of living continues to go up. An ad ministration which had de clared a halt to inflation to be its supreme domestic goal is simply not coming close to that goal. Inflation is a grow ing rather than a lessening peril. AND THE present schedule for prolonged Presidential absences from this country in the months ahead-first, the current world tour, then the various near-summit and summit conferences means one thing for certain: the boss is not going to be around to mind the store, the store of our domestic affairs. The burden will now fall upon secondary administration figures. However able, they haven't the power to act de cisively or quickly in the ec onomic field. This means, in turn, that the domestic programs which ought to be made soon at the level of the White House it self will not be made soon, if at all. The farm situation pecul iarly illustrates the great emerging problem for the Re publicans, both in . terms of 1960 election politics and in terms of the country's basic welfare. The administration's unchanged policy for reduced farm subsidies may be abso lutely "right" as an academic economic matter. But, on all past experience, it simply will not work, either to keep the GOP in office or to keep national prosperity high. A new school of experts, to be sure, contends that the farm vote, and the farms' in fluence on total prosperity, is less and less important be cause of a shrinking farm population. They tell the GOP that it need not be driv en by fear, political or ec onomic, to placate the farm ers. ALL WHO wish to embrace this theory are welcome to it. But all who put their money on it would be less ready to do so after even an hour's examination of polit ical history. We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Centrjt ' There is an almost-unbroken relationship between GOP victory and high farm prices and GOP defeat and low farm prices. Even if the strictly farm population be consid ered now to be only 10 per cent of the total, 10 per cent can mean the difference be tween success and bankrupt cy in any enterprise, includ ing any political enterprise. The President has no in tention to adopt a more . at tractive farm program. If he also continues not to be in position to give real direc tion to domestic policies in general, this may be predict ed: the Republican President tial ticket of next year, who ever is on it, may point in vain to the "peace" the GOP has won - if it has actually won that peace. Indeed, it may turn out that there is something, after all, to this notion: that a President's place is in, Wash ington . where he can '. keep daily and hourly in his own hands all the complex skeins of the infinitely complicated job of national leadership. - (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
