He wants out, too. But he settles for daydreams. It was Mr. Mitty, not Mrs., who had that "secret life." When Frank barks at you. it may merely be that fenced-in feeling com ing through. Stay home and fan his flickering hopes. And you, Frank, try biting your tongue and letting your heart frame the words of apprecia tion, approval and plain po liteness Molly pants for. These are the ego-builders she now receives from her job. By adding love, you can beat that job by miles.

MEMBER BY INVITATION smallest police forces in the world operates quietly and efficiently in the nation's cap ital. It is a 33-man detail which stands round-t lie-clock secur ity duty at the palatial U.S. Supreme Court building. The president may have his White House police and con gress its special Capital Po lice force. But thc Supreme Court is not jealous. Chief Justice Earl Warren and his eight associates feel their men match any in pro fessional caliber and service to the public. Elevated In 194fi Congress elevated the Court's force from gov ernment building guards to regular police, with status similar to that of police at the Capitol and White House. Since then, thc qualifica tions of recruits have been tailored to meet those of most metropolitan police forces. The unit undergoes continual training in police tactics, with special emphasis on handling of visitors and crowds. Crowds' d e s c e n d on the court, especially in the tourist season. Visitors from April to September total about 10,000 a day. The record is 17,000. The Court policeman's duty is not confined to the build ing interior. "There's no fence around the grounds to prevent an of ficer from doing his duty if police action is needed or he sees a crime being committed on adjacent streets," Capt Thomas W. Slominski, who took over command last Oc tober, told UPI. Extra Training The average officer has tak en extra training at the Wash ington, D.C.. Metropolitan Po lice academy. He can shoot from the hip, even leflhandcd, or apply a judo hold. He also is educated in such diverse matters as the law of evi dence, firefighting, emergency first aid. flag etiquette, men tal illnesses and human rela tions. Most of the policeman's time is given to visitors, how ever. Tourists find that those goodlooking fellows who know all the answers com pare in courtesy with Lon don's famous "Bobby" or New York's "Finest." Answer Questions He must greet with unruf fled calm Mich questions as ' how much does the building weigh'.1" (Tiiis was one of the few inquiries that went un answered). Some tourists arrive with a consuming desire to sec a real live justice at work on an opinion. These must be tactfully routed away from the justices' chambers. Many don't understand that almost all Supreme Court cases are appeals from lower courts-that in any event there Seeing the section reserved for justices' families, some will ask: "Does the jury sit there?" One inquired: "Was Al Ca pone tried here?" Sizable Detail A sizable detail of police arc in the court room, some in plain clothes, when the jus tices arc on the bench. But disturbances have been rare. One of the officers' lesser duties is to see that visiting lawyers, who sit in the bar section, maintain their dig nity. Occasionally a careless at torney will find a note thrust into his hand reading, "please button your coat." Women lawyers who make thc mistake of wearing a hat in the barrister's section, also are corrected. were being for those politicians? Wilson taxed, bir uuestioni current Winston wrote, "to the limit i The questions are especial of their credulity." ly current now because That is a rich nhrasp full American tasuavers have of meaning. Somehow, it just filed their income tax i was there to tap and they seems to bear on a current returns. And 1963 is the 50th I tapped the citizens' bankrolls as though they were con quering princes levying on a captive people. The late Harry L. Hopkins, a welfare worker who became a notable New Dealer, summed up in a few stark words the process by which the politicians accommodate the graduated income tax to their own ambition to remain in office and on the public payroll. "Spend and spend," said Hopkins, "tax and tax and elect and elect!" As simple as that. Persuade the heavily-taxed citizens that someone else is paying the government bills. Then, come election day, claim thc citizens' votes because gov ernment has spent money in their towns or counties or states. Simple, and it works! But to make it work, the politicians must convince the citizens that government costs cannot be reduced but al ways must go up. Thus, gov ernment cost $66 billion in 1956, S76 billion in 1960, $81 billion in 1961. $89 billion in 1962. President Kennedy ex pects to spend in the current fiscal year 1963, $94 billion and $99 billion in fiscal 1964. A great many billions are spread around the country in public works, in subsidies, and in various services for the taxpayer-voters. These categories of expenditures go up even faster than does na tional defense. It is a system whercunder the politicians legally buy the taxpayers' votes with the taxpayers' own money. The voter who falls for that kind of a shell game should be cheered on with Texas Guinan's famous Prohi bition Era salute: "Hello, suckers!"

MOTHER'S DAY Sunday, May 12 217 E. Mi if, St Med lord Sen. Morse Raps Nixon, Rockefeller Salem - IUPD - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) Saturday night criticized both former Vice President Richard Nixon and New York Gov. Nelson Rocke feller in a speech to Demo crats here. He called Nixon a "war monger" and he said Nixon took "a shocking position" Saturday when he said the U.S. should "openly support the forces of freedom in its policy toward Cuba." Morse said President Ken nedy has at all times fought Communism in Cuba "within the framework of intcrnation al law." He accused Rockefeller of a "shabby performance" in egging on French President Charles de Gaule in hopes of embarrassing President Ken nedy. He cited a Rockefeller speech made earlier last week that he said was full of "evasion." PAINFULLY FAMILIAR Indianapolis. Ind. - IUPD -When Earl Milam appears in city court today the man on the bench will look painfully familiar. Judge William Sharp was driving along a North Side st., police said, when Milam's auto crashed into the back of the judge's car. COOKS NOT LAZY Brighton, England - ItlPlI -Seven young cooks frcin Lon don's Park Lane Hotel, wear ing their cook hats, hiked 50 miles to Brighton Sunday "to show that cooks are not fat, lazy layabouts, as some peo ple think." Loch Ness Monster Declared Visible Loch Ness, Scotland -OJPD "Up 'til now we have been skeptical about the monster, but it's there all right," Mrs. Hilda Hitching said of the Loch Ness monster Sunday. She claimed she and a friend, Mrs. Vera King, spot ted the monster while driving along thc lake's east shore, and stopped to watch the crea ture cavort about 400 yards out. She said she could sec thc monster's three humps clearly. "We watched the monster in the still waters of thc Loch for two minutes. II moved very slowly, with scarcely any wash and gradually sub merged leaving hardly a rip ple on the surface," she said.
