Soon there after, the folks back home took pen in hand to demand economy. Although a survey showed that Congress isn't getting any such deluge of anti-spending letters this year.

Halleck wrote the President Monday that he has received thousands of letters from all over '.he nation pledging "all out sup port" for the President's bal i-nced budget. He sent a few sam nle letters to Eisenhower "to en courage you to keep up the good liaht lor thrift in government. But House Democratic Leader John W.

Icame from New England. And it was not 1861; It was 1809, birthyear of Abraham Lincoln, who was to deal latet with a more serious secession threat. At Lincoln's birth, 150 years ago, the United States was a young, growing land of some six million people, 90 per cent of them liv ing on farms and most of them thinking themselves Virginians or New Yorkers rather tnan Ameri cans. For most, the Far West was the Mississippi River: the land be-. yond. the Louisiana Territory, pur chased from France only six years before, was almost a myth, a little frightening and remote as the moon. National-boundaries were vague. The final dividing line between the United States and Canada was yet to be settled. Shadowy Oregon was disputed with Britain. Spain held Florida and the Great Southwest. There were 17 states in the un ion. Vermont.

West Virginia was part 0' Virginia. The whole state of Maine was York County, Mass. Indians roamed the forests of the Appalachian Mountains. The downfall of the tribal confederacy organized by that amazing Indian leader, Tecumseh, was two years off at the battle of Tippecanoe in Indiana. The American flag had 15 stars and 15 stripes. It would be nine years before Tennessee and Ohio would get their stars and the num ber 0' stripes would be cut back to 13, honoring the original states. The chief political parties were the Republican-Democratic, gain ing m strength as the popula tion began shifting to the West, and the federalist, dying for the want of progressive leadership. Already the Republican-Demo cratic party, ancestor to the Dem ocratic Party of today, was show- irg signs of splitting, with rival fa-lions forming around person alities and economic issues., Thou.as Jefferson, disillusioned by party bickering, was the lame- duck president. He had chosen not to run for a third term. Little James Madison would be sworn in as president a month after .Lin coin was born. Foreign affairs provided the baS' is for the big political issue of the day; an issue that would reach a climax in the War of 1812, a warjhat no one in Britain or Amer ica really wanted. Across the Atlantic in 1809, Brit ain and Napoleon were at each other's throats. Each had set up a "paper" blockade of the other's ports. Neutral American ships and seamen were the chief sufferers. In retaliation, Jefferson had en gineered the Embargo Acts of 1807- 08 under which all American ves sels were forbidden to leave for foreign ports and foreign bottoms could not carry goods from Amer ican ports. r Mercantile New England, the stronghold of the Federalist Party, was struck a hard blow by em bargo. Sentiment arose for the for mation of an independent North ern Confederacy, sympathetic to the British cause. The union was preserved, ' how ever, when Jefferson in one of his last ' official acts, signed the em bargo repealer, freeing American ships to trade with all nations except Britain and France. Lin coln was a month old at the time. Slavery, the great American Is sue of the 19th Century, was spok en of only in hushed tones. But, a contemporary gifted with fore sight, already could discern the forces building toward the Irre pressible Conflict. Eli Whitney's cotton gin had been in use for 16 years, vastly increasing the South s capacity for producing cotton and, inciden tally, boosting the demand for Ne gro slaves to harvest King Cot ton. The .North was taking its first rsteps toward becoming an indus trial giant again thanks to Whit ney, whose manufacturing system enabled unskilled workmen to turn out quality products in mass. The demand for more cotton and extension of slavery would drive the South over the brink in 61 and the North's great industrial advantage would win the Civil War that followed. And, while Lincoln was arriving February 12, 1809, in a log cabin in what is now Hodgenville, Ken tucky, a few miles to the south west, another infant had recently passed his eighth month on earth He was destined to lead his peo ple in a great war, too. He would be Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of Amer ica. 'DENNIS THE MENACE" l fi I'm ilOM yx SEEN AW SKIN DIVIN' FLIPPERS?' Gircon 1 For the young and young in heart.
