The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
I suppose you have read and lis
tened to the political roundups and
post mortems on the California
primary election. They have been
numerous. In general, the Demo
cratic comment has been jubilant.
About the best the Republicans
have been able to do is to put on
a brave front and say WAIT TILL
NOVEMBER.
An impartial observer must cer
tainly admit that as of now noth
ing seems more certain than that
next fall the Democrats will in
crease their present rather thin
control- of both houses of the con
gress. Among other things, this is a
recession period. In our recession
periods (which seem to be an in
evitable part of our economics sys
tem) people aren't too happy with
the way things are going. When
people aren't too happy with the
way things are going, their incli
nation is to vote the ins out.
At this point, I'd like to offer a
little advice.
Don't listen TOO MUCH to the
politicians. At least, don't accent
wtfat they say as gospel. Listen in
an appraising and intelligently
critical mood. Apply the test of
your own intelligence to what the
politicians say.
Remember that the politicians
are running for office. Remember
that the party organizations are
reaching for power.
Size up the TRENDS of party
policies. (Don t pay too much at
tention to party 'platforms. Party
platforms are coming to be noth
ing much more than sticky fly
paper put out to catch votes.)
Appraise political trends in the
light of what is best for our coun
try over the long pull. Remember
that in the long run what is best
for our country will be best for
ALL OF US. 1 .
If you think the Democrats have
a generally better program, vote
tor Democrats.
If you feel that the GOP pro
gram is better tor our country,
vote for Republicans.
Remember that POLITICS is the
art of kidding people into voting
tor someDoay.
STATESMANSHIP is a miracu-
lous combination of patriotism,
wisdom, sound judgment and the
COURAGE to use these qualities
tor the betterment of our country,
Our great need is more states
men in politics.
Let's close this piece with i
quotation from Abraham Lincoln:
VYou can not bring prosperity
by discouraging thrift. You can
not strengthen the weak by weak
ening the strong. You can not help
the wage earner by pulling down
the wage payer.
"You can not further the broth
erhood of man by encouraging
class hatred. You can not help
the poor by destroying the rich
You can not establish sound secur
ity on borrowed money. You can
not keep out of trouble by spend
ing more than you earn. You can
not build character and courage
by taking away man's initiative
and independence.
"You can not help men perma
nently by DOING FOR THEM
WHAT THEY COULD AND
SHOULD DO FOR THEM
SELVES."
All statesmen subscribe to that
doctrine.
All politicians merely PRETEND
to subscribe to it.
Therein lies the fundamental dif
ference between statesmen and
politicians.

WASHINGTON (AP) British
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan
flew into Washington Saturday to
talk over with President Eisen
hower such world issues as the
French political crisis and a pos
sible summit conference with Russia.
Macmillan characterized the
sessions as Informal talks with
the President, an old acquaint
ance.
Relations between Washington
and London are generally more
harmonious than in recent years.
But U.S. officials said they ex
pect Macmillan in conferences
starting Monday to urge Eisen
hower to endorse increased West
ern trade with the Soviet Union,
to move as rapidly as possible
toward a summit conference, and
to strengthen Western machinery
for waging the economic cold war.
Both British and U.S. diplomats
indicated Premier Charles dc
Gaulle of France would be in
formed about the discussions
and whatever understandings arc
reached.
There was speculation Macmil
lan might fly to Paris after the
Washington talks. Another possi
bility was that Eisenhower and
Macmillan would publicly declare
their interest in meeting De
Gaulle when he has time.
Macmillan came from London
aboard a new Britannia" jet-prop
airliner accompanied by his wile
and a party of 12. A faulty engine
forced the plane to turn back to
London friday night, and Mac
millan reached Washington about
three Hours behind schedule.

bisenhower Monday afternoon.
Dulles, who arranged a private
dinner at his home Saturday night
for the Prime Minister and Lady
Dorothy Macmillan, met the plane
here.
Macmillan and he then engaged
in the familiar diplomatic game
of talking down the importance of
the meeting. If nothing much Is
accomplished, such a preliminary
is supposed to reduce disappoint
ment. If some important decision
is made, officials can claim it was
planned that way all along.
Macmillan said his chief pur
pose in coming here "is to make
pilgrimage to my mother i
state, Indiana.'1 He will speak at
ue fauw university at Green-
castle Sunday.
Macmillan then remarked In an
offhand way. that "on- my way
back I hope to-mWe the chance

of State Dulles and President El
senhower." .

Eisenhower has been working for
several months toward a decision
to end U. S. nuclear tests after
the current Pacific series. He is
awaiting congressional action
which would allow him to share
S. nuclear weauons knowhow
with Britain. Britain then could
join in a test suspension agree
ment.

Premier Khrushchev focused at
tention on this problem by writing
isenhower last week that he

and consumer goods. Britain for
several years has been more in

BUDAPEST (AP) One man

"King Neptune" is a hog which

The pig was something of a

Lingle took it . throughout the

French Unity
Appeal Draws
Heavy Favor
PARIS (AP) The cabinet ral
lied Saturday behind Premier
Charles de Gaulle's drive for
French unity, endorsing decisions
he made on his dramatic peace
making flight to Algeria.
De Gaulle pushed through a cab
Inet decision promising local elec
tions in Algeria in about a month.
He told the Arab-Berber popula
tion that in these elections they
would have equal votes with the
French population for the first .
time in history.
, The ministers further under
scored their bid for support of the
Arab-Berber masses by agreeing ;
an Algerian Moslem should be
brought into the cabinet for the
first time.
De Gaulle also gently but firmly
began to slap down the rightwing
public safety committees that
swept to power in De Gaulle's -
name and are reluctant to sur
render their authority.
Despite his speed and obvious
determination, the general's prob
lems were staggering, and he .
made his maneuvers with tha cau-
log" out a loruneu line. -
De Gaulle called his cabinet to
his official residence where he
sot up housekeeping Saturday
morning and reported on the :
three-day Algerian trip that ended :
Friday night.
De Gaulle's scholarly informa
tion minister, Andre Malraux, said
his chief had returned to France
convinced that his presence was -accepted
by Algeria's Arabs and
Berbers as a guarantee of equal
ity.
Malraux said De Gaulle is con
vinced of the loyalty to the gov- -ernment
of the army, which fully -
supported the May 13 insurrection :
of the French colonials in Algeria. :
Body Of Flier Found In Brush
ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP)-The
body of Cmdr. George W. Staeheli,
38, was found in dense under
brush Saturday, several hundred
yards from his crashed Navy
jet hghter.
That ended hope that Staeheli,
a former Gonzaga University ath
lete who fought in several Pacific
campaigns in World War II, had
survived the crash of his plane
Friday while on a flight from
McChord Field, Wash., to Moffett
Field. Calif.
The discovery of his parachute
in a tree a half-mile from the
crash at first raised hopes that
Staeheli had bailed out to safety
over the- woods north of here.
An intensive search resulted in
discovery of the body. Staeheli
reported a flame-out at 33.000 feet
Friday, and a few minutes later
made his last transmission from
15,000 feet.
Police said they were not cer
tain whether Staeheli had ejected
himself successfully and that the
parachute lines had parted under
stress of high speed, or whether
Staeheli had become separated
from the parachute in some other
way.
Staeheli leaves a widow and
eight children at Tacoma.
A' Navy official said he was cer
tain that Staeheli had been ejected
from the plane.
Lt. Carl Birdweil said, however,
that the ejection probably oc
curred at too low an altitude for
everything to function correctly.
Staeheli apparently rode his
crippled cralt to a low level to
make sure it did not crash into
a populated area, Birdweil said.
A dense overcast covered the
area, and Staeheli waited antil he
came out of tha clouds it 2,000
feet before pressing his ejection
mechanism, Birdweil said.
The body was found by Robert
Everett of Creswell, one of 200
taking part in the search.
It was in a tiny clearing, sur
rounded by dense brush. Three
hundred yards away was his para
chute, hanging from a tree.
The parachute harness was still
around Staeheli's body.
Nearby, searchers found the
airplane canopy, a crash helmet
and the plane's seat.
Navy oificers said that this is
the procedure when a pilot Is
ejected from a plane:
A charge blows off the canony.
and moments later the pilot and
the seat are hurled away from
the jet. The seat then is shot away
from the pilot and an automatic
device opens his parachute.
Birdweil laid ha was at a loss
lo explain why the harness broke
loose from the tough shroud lines
of the parachute.
Birdweil said he and two otner
Navy investigators plan to remain
here several more days. A post
mortem was conducted on the
body Saturday by a Navy physi
cian.

Poor Old George
PHILADELPHIA wi sudden

For 27 years, he lived in a pen
