My FRANK JENKINS
There was a lime in the world
when persistently spending more,
than you took in was regarded
as a one-way road lo the poor
house. In those benighted days,
there were few dissenters to that
doctrine. But the world is chang
ing. The modern theory seems to
be that the bigger the deficit the
greater the prosperity.
Personally, I can't go along
with that theory. It doesn't seem
to make sense. But it is obvi
ously popular. The election re
turns seem to prove that. What's
wrong with me? Am I ALONE
in a world that has gone far
beyond me?
Doesn't ANYBODY believe in
thrill any more?
It's rough to be alnne in the
world. I was getting low in my
mind.
But. just as I was about ready
lo go nut and jump in the lake,
the mail arrived. It brought me
a letter bum Dan Crawford. o(
Tulelnke. He and 1 apparently
see things pretty much alike. So
I think I'll let him write this
column today. He says:
"I have read, and admired,
your analyses of current news lor
about as inns as I can remember.
Alter reading JFK's recent mes
sage lo congress and your editori
al staling that the fiscal principles
in the President's proposal arc a
mere continuation ot me aencii
spending theory. I have reached.
the conclusion mat I musi ne in
sane. This reasoning is ha-ed on
several fundamental truths of in
contestable nature.
"Fact 1. In his January mes
sage lo congress. President Ken
nedy aked for a tlnee.vear pro
cressive tax cut, and at the same
time presented a greatly expand-
eri nniLM-am of federal spending.
The purpose of which was to stim
nlatp business and benelit tin
national cconomv.
"Fact 2 President Kennedy is a
brilliant sincere and dedicated
man. His advisers arc drawn
from the highest intellectual lev
els in America. While one may
'disagree with their basic philoso
phies, their patriotism and inte
grity arc unquestioned.

Christian Leadership Conference
The Hon. Boyd Lcodom, a mem
ber of the National Labor Rela
tions Board in Washington, D.C.,
and president of the International
Christian Leadership movement,
was the principal speaker. Lee
dom is also a former Supreme
Court Justice ot Soucn Dakota.
In a serious address punctu
ated w ilh wry humor, Leedom told
his rapt audienc that "the tre
mendous power of God mat cre
ated this universe can make i
man in public life double even
triple his effectiveness if he
will
accept Ihe teachings of Jesus
Christ if he will only accept the
claims Jesus Christ made for
him."
Leedom posed a challenge in
leadership for those who heard
him. "If you are to develop the
true realm of the spirit, you must
let this tremendous power of God
permeate your spirit, lie said.
Some ways to do this, he added,
are: To accept some element of
mystery it is not possible lo un
derstand everything that pertains
to God; you must get your intel
lect out of tlie way you must be
humble; you must accent the facl
that God sent Jesus Christ into
the world to set mankind back
on Ihe proper path.
'Christ is the essence of love.
gf sacrifice, and human freedom.
We must see in Him Ihe ultimate
of love and be willing to embrace
this concept," Leedom said. This
is Ihe only way we can take on
the sense of belonging to God, he
autioned.
"A new life in (he spirit of
Christ doesn't make a nut of
you." he emphasized. "You'll
have an answer for every prob
lem you ever face, and il (love
of God) can turn your lilo around
180 degrees," he assured.
Leedom paid tribute to the fact
that Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield
was the first state chief execu
tive to slart the Prayer Break
fasts, which are palterned after
Uic Presidential Prayer Breakfasts
instituted by President Eisenhow
er II years ago. Now 49 stales
are conducting the annual break

"We hear many disturbing and
