A LITTLE over two years, however, the Vice

well decide the world conflict. . . . The only way to

needs, together with the increasing costs of our pro

not the present rate of growth of our economy of 3
per cent but the higher rate of 5 per cent recommend

be achieved if we adopt a stand-pat, status-quo attitude

About the only comment we can make about
this remarkable trend toward conservatism in a
young man who is said to have matured while
in office is that Mr: Nixon must be practicing

Sad Commentary
Six reporters all became one and the same
man the other day in an effort to learn something
about Federal Income Taxes. What they learned
was that nobody seems sure exactly how much
an American citizen really owes in income taxes.
Donald I. Rogers, business and financial
editor of the New York Herald-Tribune- told his
half-dozen men that each of them was to be

each identical data to

Pay for What You Get
To the Editor: In regard
to the editorial, "Kennedy's
SDeech." I beg to differ.
In a series of high sounding
words and phrases in which
he criticized, condemned and
censured the present adminis
tration, he offered no one do-
inite solution for any of the
problems he cited. He believes
in a forceful executive lead
ership. Where would he lead
us? To war, like all the other
Democratic presidents of this
country? That is their way of
solving farm, labor and un
employment problems.
He repeated all the prom
ises of the give-away program
with which he expects to buy
votes with taxpayer's money.
According to the extremely
radical platform on which he
will campaign, everything is
to be provided for each and
every one from the cradle to
the grave. But he said nothing
about how all these things
will be paid for, because he
has never earned a penny in
his life and knows nothing
of busincs administration. The
son of a multi-millionaire, he
has been on the dole all his
life. So why should he worry
about the ones who work and
save to pay the taxes?
Not only in taxes must we
pay, but by forfeiting the
rights of men which Mr. Jef
ferson proclaimed, the right
to be free of the tyranny of
government, to order our
properly and our lives as each
of us may choose to do.

Socialist Labor Party
To the Editor: One of the
things that gripes me about
the newspapers, especially the
big city papers in New York
City, is the constant reference
to Norman Thomas and his so-
called Socialist party.
In contrast to the Socialist
Labor party, which is con
stantly increasing the scope
of its activities, the Socialist
party, in spite of all the free
publicity it gets from the
press, is destined to go the
way of all reform parties, and
that is downward.
In 1956 the Socialist party
candidate for president receiv
ed only 2,126 votes, down
from more than 900,000 votes
rolled up by Norman Thomas
in 1932.
In 1956 the Socialist Labor
party presidential nominee,
Eric Hass, who is running
again this year, received 46,
000 votes, in spite of the fact
that the Socialist Labor party
campaign was hardly given
any notice by the press.

Enforce The Rules
To the bditor: In answer
to Mrs. B. J. Wyatt's letter
of July 15, I wonder If she
has been swimming in the
Hawthorne pool in the after
noon? Mrs. Velva Frazer and I
took our Girl Scout troop
swimming last Tuesday after
noon. Not only was it terribly
crowded but children were
jumping off the edge of the
pool with a complete disre
gard of swimmers under them.
Mrs. Frazer was dunked three
times in the space of a very
few minutes while trying to
give a Girl Scout pointers in
swimming.
I feci that a certain amount
of splashing is necessary, but
what was going on Tuesday
was terrible.
Children should be taught
courtesy, and if they won't
follow the rules, then take
away their priviledges, in this
case, the right to use the pool.
Also, the life guards arc
not baby sitters, so go along
with your kids and see to it
that they behave and are a
credit, and not a debit, to
you.
So, you lifeguards, enforce
your rules strictly, so every
one can enjoy the pool and
In safety.

Study and Learn
To the Editor: I believe
that In a previous letter I stat
ed that religion and politics
were two things I did not
argue about but would dis
cuss them. I do not believe
these columns arc to be used
to lambast someone's charac
ter or to defame his religious
beliefs.
If thinking American citi
zens would dig In and study
more for themselves, they
would have a broader view
on the vital Issues of the day,
both political and religious.

Issues Involved promise to
make this a most interesting
grandstand affair. Many non-

spewing because a Roman
Catholic has been chosen to
run. On the other hand I have
talked with Catholics who
themselves wonder at the
outcome of it all.
As I see it, Catholic, Protes
tant, or what ever the pro
fession, the Individual owes
It to himself to clearly study
the issue in a nonprcjudiccd
way. For instance if one hears
something, the proper thing,
if it's important, is to gain
the facts. Not long ago there
came to me some information
pertaining to a widely accept
ed practice for which there
seems to be no Bible founda
tion. I had read and been told
that the Catholic church took
due credit for the existence
of this belief. I visited a priest
and he informed me that what
I had heard was correct, Many
non Catholics, sad to say,
when confronted with some
of this Information, either
deny the facts or get stirred
up.
Protestants claim to lake
the Bible only, while Cath
olics take both the Bible and

readers secure a copy of a
book that I value very highly.
It is called "The Triumph of

helped me to a better under

Whlta at last of two
sets of extremists which have
plagued its politics for dec

1. The qulvcrinu crackpots

2. The bourbons of the fur

The action of the Democrat
ic convention In putting up
the Kennedy - Johnson ticket
has been, in one sonse at least,
immensely healthy. For ncr-
hups its truest significance Li
this: the reasonably liberal
and the reasonably conserva

the dangerous ronlltles of this

destroy all traditional values.
Moreover, there is every
prospect tlial the Republican

JOHNSON Is Mill what he

uc aerate who thinks It more
important to make the system
work than to insist upon each
and every syllable of his own
Ideas. Kennedy actually is
the same kind of man. They
both simply know what poli
tics Is - the art of the attain
able. Confronted with the ob
vious - and overnight - prob
ability at Los Angeles that
Kennedy's hurd-hunded nomi

country, Johnson did what he
had to do. He consented to
take tho buck seat of a party
automobile that otherwise was
headed for a disastrously wild
ride. The labor bosses and the
big city bosses had chosen
Kennedy. Now Kennedy need

cratic parly now needed - a
wider and less doctrinaire all-
national base on which to face
the people themselves.

bandwagon that Johnson Is
Just what he has nlways been
