In nationalizing nearly 400 large companies
and banks, Cuba’s Fidel Castro appears now to have
taken the road from which there is no turning back.
If his little island country is not in fact com-
munistic, in the sense that Communist doctrine is
openly preached and adhered to, it is clear that he
has aped one of communism’s principal features:
the state ownership and control of the economy.
In fact, nowhere beyond the present Com-
munist orbit is such control as complete as Castro
has made it in Cuba.
Some have suggested he would have not have
taken this step without assurances of full support
from Soviet Premier Khrushchev. It could very well
be that major nationalization was part of the price
of that support—a good faith demonstration to
Moscow that Castro was worth the trouble.
There is no evidence to indicate the Cuban
people imagined that this was what they were
getting when they got Castro. Unmistakably they
believed he was bringing freedom out of the hills.
Instead he is saddling them with a tyranny
copied from Moscow, the world’s present greatest
menace to freedom. And the very businessmen who
helped him to power have now been dispossessed
as his avowed enemies.
Who cares now to doubt that the Soviet influ-
ence has come within 90 miles of our shores? Who
wants to argue that Castro is just a simple, philoso-
phical liberal who has “tolerated” Communists in
his midst but does not embrace them?
Castro in his nearly two years of rule has not
solved but has vastly multiplied his people’s prob-
lems. By no fair definition has he governed. He has
held command by military force, and has operated
by threat, by accusation, by dramatic seizure of
American, and now Cuban properties.
The men who backed him financially under-
stand him now for what he is. With every advancing
day the millions of ordinary Cubans must appreci-
ate what he has done to their bright dreams.
How long can he find support in the army that
keeps him at the peak of power?
Undoubtedly many Cuban army leaders them-
selves enjoy the fruits of this power but the army
is Cuban before it is anything else.
The hope of the Cuban people, and of the free
world, may rest upon the army’s growing awareness
of the dark path Castro has set out upon.
If there is to be new revolt in the people’s name
it must come from those who can wield force. For
reason long since has departed Castro.
The Air Force appears to be approaching the
ultimate in ICBMs, as far as range goes. This is a
missile which will cover about 12,500 miles. Since
this is half the circumference of the world, it means
that a missile with this capabality could hit any
place on the earth, no matter where it was fired.
Soon mother will have her winter coat out of
the mothballs and figure she needs a new one.

When you knock your home town while you’re
in it and praise it when you’re away from it, that’s
human nature.

Education
Gets Nature
Into Home
NEW YORK UP) — I don’t know
about your house, but in our
house we are having trouble with
our indoor forest.
Perhaps where you live you
don’t try to raise the outdoors in-
doors. You grow inside and let
the trees grow outside.
This is the approach to nature
I was brought up to believe was
natural.
Well, in the big city they don’t
always do things that way.
My daughter Tracy, 7, is in the
second grade now, and she keeps
coming home from school with a
tree in her hand. Well, anyway,
an embryo tree, a seedling in a
can.
“What is this?” I ask.
“My homework.”
“What do you mean your
homework?”
“I bring it home and watch it
work—I mean grow. Then I
bring it to class and show it, then
I bring it back home and let it
grow some more, then I bring it
to class again, and then I—”
Well, she doesn’t have to go
any further. I get the general
idea. Instead of having a child go
out and look at a forest, they
have her plant one in her fath-
er’s living room.
This is progressive education
It saves the child from walking
She can sit down in her own
home and water her wilderness
and watch it grow.
It doesn’t work out that way
in our house, however. The first
time Tracy brought her own tree
home from school I was afraid. I
feared’ that in time, on some fu-
ture lazy weekend, I would be
lifted from my usual armchair
lethargy and thrust atop a twin-
ing limb of greenery to the aston-
ishment of our neighbors.
Well, thanks to our cat, Lady
Dottie, I am in no danger of be-
ing tree-borne immediately.
I am not sure whether the tree
in the can my daughter bought
home hopefully the other day is
the third or the fourth effort on
the part of her and her teacher
to make our house a wilderness.
In any case, Tracy waters
with loving care and croons little
love songs to it, and it grows
during the sun of the day. But at
night Lady Dottie creeps up on
little fog feet and eats all its
leaves away. It seems cats kept
indoors have a pent appetite for
green and growing things.
I’m not sure how long this can
go on, or whether it is fair for
a man to let a cat cause his
daughter to flunk nature study in
the second grade.
I intercepted the following
brooding letter from Tracy to her-
self: “A tree that loses its leaves
in winter is deciduous. My maple
tree will have bare branches.”
There was also this further un-
expected fruit of her hoticultural
learning. Susie, her little friend
down the hall, observed during
one of those aimless generalities
so pleasing to children, “My dad-
dy is fatter than your daddy.”
“Yes, he is,” Tracy agreed but
added proudly: “My daddy is
more deciduous than your daddy.”

Voters Free
To Ballot
For Choice
Voters in the national election
Nov. 8 are not bound by law or
by any pledge or obligation to
support Democratic nominees for
national Mfiee even though their
poll taxBvas stamped “Demo-
crat” anBhe loyalty pledge was
attached H their ballots.
Such isBie finding of M. Sims
Davidson® Dallas attorney and
legal coiXel for the Republican
Party of Texas. Regardless of how
a voter’s poll tax is stamped or
whether it is stamped at all, he
is free to vote as he wishes in
the general election, Davidson
stated.
The prevailing confusion re-
sulted from the so-called “John-
son Bill” passed by the State
Legislature to enable Lyndon
Johnson to have his name plac-
ed on the ballot in two places
in the general election, Davidson
says.
Past attorneys general have held
in opinions, particularly R-3052,
that thelparty pledge on the Dem-
ocratic Arimary ballot does not
obligate the voter to support the
Demo^its in November. This
provision is not affected by the
new affiliation law.
The avowed purpose of stamp-
ing the poll tax receipts is to
prevent voters of one party from
participating in the convention of
the rival party. Under the affilia-
tion amendment—a new section
added to Chapter 13 of the Elec-
tion Code—the effect of Article 13
is specifically confined to the
primary, second primary and
conventions,.. and clearly states
that an individual’s failure to
qualify as a member of the party
merely prohibits him from par-
ticipating in the conventions of
the party and to hold enumerat-
ed ^arty offices.

Norway Looks Out For Aged
By ROBERT PETERSON
I’ve long been curious how old-
er people fare in Norway. And' I
was glad to pick up some facts
the other day when I ran into
Dr. Trygve Hansen of Hammar-
fest, Norway
We have a higher proportion ing pay for itself in the long
of elders than you do,” said this
pleasant, portly physician, “and
a slightly higher life expectancy.
“The usual retirement age in
Norway is 70. At that age vari-
ous advantages come to the in-
dividual. He becomes eligible to
move into one of the apartment
buildings for older people found
in most communities, where rents
may be as low as $10 a month
for a one room apartment with
bath and kitchenette. These build-
ings often feature a community
room on the first floor where res-
idents can visit and do hand-
crafts.
“He also becomes eligible for a
small social security pension of
I asked how housing for the I older people. Under this plan peo-
elderly is financed. “The various! pie who become ill or feeble—
cities borrow funds from the gov- but do not require actual hospi-
ernment. Because the loans are I ,. . , , u m
long-term at low interest rates, talizahon-can stay at home un-
we can offer retirees very mod-
ern rents and still make the hous
run. When elders become ill or
can no longer care for themselves
they are moved to nursing homes
or hospitals.”
What about their social security
taxes andi everyone gets the same
amount.”
Health insurance? “We have a
compulsory, government-sponsor-
ed insurance plan which is sub-
sidized by the state. Everyone
between 15 and 70 who works
must pay from $1 to $4 a month
for health insurance, depending
on his income. Folks past 70 pay
nothing. If one is hospitalized all
costs are covered. But if you sim-
ply visit a doctor you pay about
one-third of his fee and the rest
about $35 per month. With low is paid by the government. Phy-
cost housing, a pension to supple-
ment his savings, and with medi-
cal care covered by our health
insurance plan—all completely
free of any stigma of charity—
he has the essentials for a com-
fortable old age.”
sician fees, except in the case of
specialists, are fixed by the gov-
ernment.
“An important feature of the
plan is our ‘house mother’ pro-
gram which helps keep our hospi-
der a physician’s care and
homemaker comes in as required
and helps out until the individual
can care tor himself again.
“Out program of benefits for
older people has been in opera-
tion for many years,” he con-
cluded “and is by now so en-
trenched as necessary and essen-
tial that most Norwegians would
never dream of giving it up.
The Norwegian program for eld-
ers may seem a bit too socialistic
for many U.S. citizens. However
unless private enterprise takes
more active steps in providing
elders with housing and medical
care which they can afford—with-
out the stigma of charity—the
day may come when U.S. elders
will demand what their Norwe
gian contemporaries are getting

IT OCCURS TO ME
JUST
THAT
BE GLAD
ITS OVER
By LIN MILLS
Taylor Press News Editor
GLAD IT’S OVER—the Tay-
lor - Round Rock football game,
that is.
From where I sat, it looked
like one of those games that
neither team particularly want-
ed to play and fans from neith-
er town wanted to see.
It was a terribly dull foot-
ball game. First because one
team was so very far ahead of
the other in skill and know-
how. Secondly because flag-
happy officials were dropping
their red handerkchiefs on
what seemed like every other
play. I thought the Giddings
game was the ultimate in flag,
dropping, but it didn’t even
compare with the Round Rock
affair. Some people said it re-
minded them of a Mexican bull
fight, they saw so much red.
Too many penalties makes an
otherwise good game dull, but
when you’ve got a dull game to
start with and then add all the
penalties, boy you’re way out
there from nowhere.
I’m not saying the officiating
was biased. Don’t think it was.
It’s just that for the past two
weeks you’d get the idea the
officials believed the fans came
to see them operate instead of
the football game. More reas-
onably called games certainly
are in order.
Howard Oliphint, our high
school principal, said we had
what was probably the poorest
crowd in ten years. The gate
at a good game runs somewhere
in the neighborhood of $2,400.
At a “so-so” game the gate
will hit about $1,600. At the
Round Rock game it was ap-
proximately $400. That ought
to give you a good idea of the
“crowd” we had.
But if you think Taylorites
turned out in small numbers,
you should consider the way
Round Rock didn’t support
their team.
Oliphint said several hundred
reserved seat tickets were sent
to Round Rock. You know how
many were sold? Not a single
one! None! What few people
came over bought general ad-
mission tickets at the gate.
The only tickets sold in Round
Rock were $5 worth of student
tickets!
But you certainly can't blame
fans for not wanting to see
what was destined to be a very
uninteresting game. That’s sim-
ply human nature. I felt the
same way. I thought the game
would never end.
But now that it’s over, we
can look forward to our last
two games with a lot of inter-
est. Elgin and Georgetown both
should play the Ducks a good
game and no doubt the crowds
will be very large, barring
some kind of very adverse
weather.
Another thing I almost for-
got. Oliphint said the winner
of District 20AA (we feel pret-
ty sure it will be Taylor) will
play the winner of 19AA. That’s
the district in which Rockdale,
Cameron and A & M Consoli-
dated are battling it out for
the title.
Right now it looks like Rock-
dale or Cameron will win. As-
suming Taylor wins this dis-
trict, the bi-district game would
be played in Taylor, if either
Rockdale or Cameron win over
there.
It has to do with who played
in the last games where and
so forth. I don’t know the rule
but Oliphint does.

By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON—It’s an ironic
fact that the man who wants to
put a Negro in the Nixon cabi-
net, Henry Cabot Lodge, helped
to put the only Negro in history
out of the “little cabinet.”
J. Ernest Wilkins, distinguish-
ed Negro attorney from Chicago,
was appointed assistant secretary
of labor early in the Eisenhower
administration—the only tim ea
Negro has achieved this distinc-
tion.
But George Lodge, son of Am-
bassador Lodge, wanted to take
his place. And because of his fa-
ther’s ambassadorial influence,
plus George’s own charm, plus
the backing of Secretary of La-
bor Mitchell, Wilkins was kicked
out.
Wilkins was the first Negro in
history ever to attend a cabinet
meeting, and the administration
had issued a lot of publicity over
the event. He was proud of his
position. So were other Negroes.
Emotionally upset, Wilkins ap-
pealed his case direct to Eisen-
hower. He told Ike he was not
ill, as Sherman Adams had re-
ported, that he loved his job and
wanted to remain. The 64-year-
old Negro broke down and wept.
However, the President stood
firm. Wilkins stepped down from
the “little cabinet,” and George
Lodge, son of the man who wants
to put a Negro in the cabinet,
took his place.
Keeping the Record Straight
A lot of things happen so fast
during election campaigns that
the public doesn’t have time to
get the other side of the story.
Here are some recent facts—and
contrasts on the either side:
FACT—Nebraska state aeronau-
tics director Jack Obbink was
fired because he gave Bobby Ken-
nedy, brother of the senator, a
ride in a state-owned plane from
Lincoln to Kansas City recently.
CONTRAST—When Gen. Joseph
a person must have his poll tax
receipt stamped either ‘Republi-
can’ or ‘Democrat’ in order to
vote in the general election in No-
vember and either a Democrat or
a Republican may vote as he
chooses,” Davidson concluded.
Swing ordered the Immigration
Service to fly Attorney General
Brownell on a political trip
through Texas, Swing was not
fired. He is the West Point class-
mate of President Eisenhower.
FACT—Congressman John Fol-
ey, Democrat, was required by
the Post Office Department to re-
fund $320 to the government for
including in his August newslet-
ter, mailed to constituents, some
political material.
CONTRAST — Arthur Summer-
field, the postmaster general, Re-
publican who as boss of the
mails is supposed to know the
law, mailed, under a government
frank on Oct. 12, a political state-
ment castigating Kennedy over
Qusmoy-Matsu and ex-Secretary
of State Dean Acheson for being
responsible for 157,000 American
casualties in Korea. Summer-
field’s letters were even stamped
“Special Delivery.” Both Repub-
licans and Democrats bore the
cost of this political propaganda.
When Sen. Olin Johnston of
South Carolina investigated, Sum-
merfield reimbursed his own Post
Office Department $98.25.
Castro Could! Pick Our President
It’s just possible that Fidel Cas-
tro will decide who will be presi-
dent of the United States.
Ambassador Robert Hill, our
astute 'envoy in Mexico City, has
sent a secret warning to the
State Department that Castro will
launch a military attack on the
big U.S. naval base at Guantna-
mo just before Election Day
Castro, according to Hill, wants
to take advantage of the Ameri-
can public’s preoccupation with
the election to catch the USA off
balance.
If this happens—and1 other in-
telligence reports indicate that
something like this is in the wind
—it could do for Nixon what the
Suez crisis did for Eisenhower in
1956. The Suez war broke out
just before the election, and just
one day before the election, So-
viet Premier Bulganin sent a bru-
tal note to the French and Brit-
ish threatening missile retalia-
tion if they did' not get thieir
troops out of Suez.
In time of crisis, voters tend
toward the party in power, and
it’s estimated the Suez crisis
swung several million votes to
Eisenhower.
In case of a showdown over
Guantanamo, Khrushchev would
doubtless sent us a tough note of
warning and the political effects
of the Suez crisis might be dupli-
cated all ever again.
Cost of Ike’s “Non-Political” Trip
Commercial pilots are irked'
over the manner in which all
traffic is held up at Air Force
bases while President Eisenhow-
er’s plane is parked at each field
during his current “non-political”
tour.
It’s also interesting that a flock
of helicopters are accompanying
Ike, at the taxpayers’ expense,
while he barnstorms—indirectly
for Nixon.
Not only is all air traffic halt-
ed, but the runways are swept
off, so the President can land on
spic-and-span concrete. One Capi-
tal Airways commercial plane,
hauling Air Force parts between
Tinker AF Base in Oklahoma
City and Schilling AF Base . in
Safina, Kan., was grounded five
hours in Lincoln, Neb. because
Ike’s plane was parked at Schill-
ing. Since the Air Force pays for
delays on Capital Airways haul-
ing, if the AF causes the delays,
the taxpayers had to foot the
bill.
Queries at the Army and Navy
as to how many helicopters were
with Ike, met with the answer:
“No comment. There are stand-
ing orders that any comment
must conne from the White
House.”
At the White House press office
the answer was: “The figures are
not available in Washington.”
“The Army and Navy have the
figures across the river at the
Pentagon,” the White House was
told. “Will you authorize them to
give the information out?”
“There is no one here with au-
thority,” the White House replied.
“Only Mr. Hagerty can speak.”
Mr. Hagerty was not available.

★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
Here's How Campaign Issues
Stack Up for Editors Polled
BY PETER EDSON
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON—(NEA)—When the serious religious issue :
and the frivolous side issues are excluded, there are still a I
dozen major debate subjects that should be the basis for decid-,
ing the presidential election—even if they’re not. I
United States daily newspaper editors receiving this column j
through Newspaper Enterprise Assn, were therefore asked to j
list what they considered most important of these big issues, j
The purpose was to get a national pulse-taking on public ;
reaction to campaign speeches and arguments by candidates.!
REPLIES WERE RECEIVED from 300 editors all over the
; country. Compiled to make a table of priorities, this shows the
percentage of editors listing each of the following as the most
important issues (more than one selected):
ISSUE:
Foreign policy
Candidates’ abilities
National defense
Farm programs
Anticommunism
Party platforms
Civil rights
Labor relations
Percentage
ISSUE: Percents
Economic growth
Fiscal policy
Inflation
Record in Congress
Candidates’ wives
Foreign aid
Time for a change
Social security
Foreign policy and national defense are paramount issues
nationally, right across the country. In this connection, anti-
communism is listed more as the fight against international
communism than against domestic subversion. ^ .
And it is important to note that foreign policy is considered
more important than the candidates themselves.
Other top issues in the list are more spotty, by regions. Farm*
policy was listed by 57 per cent of the midwest editors but by ,
only 35 per cent in other sections. 8
Civil rights was listed by 35 per cent of the southern and
1 eastern editors, but by only 23 per cent in midwest and west. :>■
Another significant revelation in this list is that with the
exception of the farm problem, domestic economy issues are
given a lower priority by most newspaper editors.
TO GET AT THE BIG ISSUES from other angles, editors
were asked for opinions on three choice questions:
• Which slate of candidates is the abler—Nixon-Lodge or,
Kennedy-Johnson?
• Which party has the better platform this year?
• Which party has the better- record in Congress? >
Consistent with the fact that 59 per cent of the newspapers
are supporting the Republican ticket to the 14 per cent sup-
porting the Democrats, the GOP came out best on all three.
The Nixon-Lodge combination was considered abler by 54
per cent, to only 12 per cent in favor of Kennedy-Johnson.
As an issue in the campaign, the Republican platform as a
whole was considered important to 29 per cent of the editors,
while 6 per cent considered the Democratic platform better.
Also as an issue in the presidential election, the two part
records in Congress are considered relatively unimportant.
And only 7 per cent of the editors find that the U.S. poiitie&l
situation so bad that the “time for a change” argument mak£s
an important issue with the voters this year.
