David Husby, born Sept. 13 and not knowing the sophisticated ways of the world, needed prompting from his mother before he displayed his new chompers. (UPI Telephoto) OF SMITH & MEN By Jack Smith (c) I960 Times-Mirror Syndicate It's hard to know what not to believe in any more. Even things everybody used to be able to hate with impunity, such as slums, turn out to have some good in them, Peter Wyden, writing of "Suburbia's Coddled Kids" in the Saturday Evening Post, has a kind word, by implica tion at least, for slums, gen erally odious as they may be. He points out that kiddies reared in the affluent atmos phere of suburbia live anis phere of suburbia live anti class, organization lives - iso lated from the realities of poverty and the slum. The divorcement of subur ban childhood of the slums is so great that some enlighten ed parents are ' taking their young ones on guided tours of blighted areas, Wyden reports. As examples he cites a 17- year-old girl who had never seen an escalator; newspaper boys whose mummies drive nr. ftinit. inntoc in ntV weather; and a 13-year-old girl who broke into tears at her first sight of an inebriated .wnman. I believe Wyden has a point here, although I think any child who lived 13 years in the suburbs and never saw an inebriated woman must have been kept in a back room all the time, or at least was blindfolded on week ends. - I certainly don't want any-.-hnrlir tn think I'm for slums, I still ache from the stoning I -took recently for calling my ' own fines stupid, which they are. It's dangerous to be for or aeainst anything. : However. I do think there are few structures in ' this world that can be torn down without a little something ennH beine crushed in the rubble. . A generation ago city boys ' used to laueh at the chap, who had never seen a cow. The teacher used to make them raise their hands. This was the standard mark of a child whose family didn't own a car, or who had an absentee father, or who no antecedents "back on the farm" to give him a sense of identity with the nation's past. The frustration suffered by " the boy who never saw a cow was minor beside the empti- Demo Victory To Increase Prices, 0 Nixon Declares Billings, Mont. - (UPD - Vice President Richard M. Nixon intensified his campaign against Sen. John F. Kennedy today with a charge that a Democratic victory in Novem ber would inevitably lead to "higher, taxes and higher prices." Starting a campaign day at chilly street rally in Bil lings, and leading on to Den ver and Salt Lake City, the Republican presidential candi date said Kennedy was advo cating spending programs that would cost Americans billions of dollars more than they are now spending for federal government. Crowd Shivers He said high prices and in creased federal taxation were bound to result. Their programs will have to bring about that kind of financing," the vice president told an earjy morning Bit lings crowd estimated by po lice at more than 4,000 per sons, who stood shivering In 40-degree temperatures. The Republican president ial candidate intends to make his campaign against Kennedy progressively rougher and this strategy was apparent in state- ments over the week end. ness in the lives of our cul tured pearls of suburbia. Imagine a lad growing up as big and strong as a station wagon and winning his di ploma without ever having been in a pool hall and learn ing how to sink a spotted ball without scratching. This is fundamental. Imagine never having seen the patterns of red,"green and amber cast into the fluid streets on- a rainy night by the neon signs announcing Eat at Marty's, The Iron Bucket, Cocktails, Open All Night, and all the other yeasty invitations of the city after dark. Imagine reaching manhood without . having fought in real rumble, with canopeners, bicycle chains and tire irons; without having heard the sound of the policeman's whistle, and the pounding of furtive feet in the dank al leys., ,, Too many of our youths know these strange and sav age experiences of the back- ways of the metropolis only through television, which does its best but fails to recreate the real texture of slum life. So let us hope these quaint jungles do not entirely vanish from the face of America. Maybe Walt Disney could be persuaded to add a biumiana to h is empire of artificiality. On the other hand maybe it wouldn't come off. Human misery has a depth and qual ity that is hard to fane.

SULTAN DIES Dar es Salaam - The Sultan of Zanzibar, Seyyid Sir Kha lifa Bin Harub, 81, died Sun day. Kennedy Warmly Greeted in Dixie; Defends Rights Warm Springs, Ga. - (UPD - Sen. John F. Kennedy spoke up for civil rights in the So'uth today and won a warm Dixie welcome at this health shrine where Franklin D. Roosevelt worked and died. The Democratic presidential nominee, without naming Vice President Richard M. Nixon, answered his opponent's charge that he has failed to talk about Negro rights in the South. He fired this reply: Full Protection - "As I have said in every part of the country, if it is to be true to its ideals and obli gations, it must assure every phase of our national life." Kennedy spoke outside the Little White House where FDR died, and then paid brief call at the nearby Warm Springs Polio Foundation headquarters. Heartwarming Welcome Thousands of Georgians mixing with wheelchair pa tients in the piney woods out side FDR's Little White House, gave Kennedy a heart warming welcome. Kennedy accused Nixon, nis GOP opponent, of medical "election year hypocrisy." Kennedy offered a six-point health program to advance the battle against illness and disease.
