Bars active duty. Colonel

on the occasion of their Gol- I
den Wedding Anniversary Mr.
and Mrs. Alois Kasper of Shi-
ner were honored by their chil-
dren with a dinner and recep-
tion at the American Legion
Park in Shiner, Sunday, No-
vember 10.
The registry table laid with
a crocheted cloth held the wed-
ding book and an arrangement
of pink roses in a gold bowl.
Mrs. Benno Holchak registered
the guests.
The honorees’ table, laid with
a white cloth and gold leaves
artistically arranged down the
center, held the beautiful three-
tiered wedding cake, nestled in
satin gold-edged ruffles. The
white frosted confection which
was bedecked with sugar-spun
golden roses, bells, gold leaves,
and bows was topped with two
larger bells, accented with lily—
of-the-valley sprigs and the gol-
den numeral “50” joining the
two golden bells. White napkins,
with the inscription “Alma and
Alois”, in golden ring holders
completed the decor of the table.
Before returning thanks at
dinner the honored couple’s
daughter, Irene, was pleasantly
surprised by the group singing
“Happy Birthday” while her
husband presented her with a
pink rosebud corsage. She was
remembered by her husband,
parents and brother with a
beautiful birthday cake, her
birthday anniversary being No-
vember 10.
The many beautiful gifts
sought his divorce.
This legal give-and-take
among states—called the con-
flict of laws—helps uphold the
dignity and authority of all
states. And it enables the citi-
zens of all states to live and
work together in a great nation.

FULL FAITH AND CREDIT
Each of our fifty states
governs its people by its “local
laws.” But people cross state
borders every day to do busi-
ness or find new homes.
People make contracts out-
side their own state; others seek
divorces; and some leave to gel
married. Sometimes a non-resi-
dent claims the right to in-
herit property under a state’:
laws.
It might surprise you, bu
Texas, like other states, ha:
two systems of laws: “Loca
law” for the home people, anc
“conflict of laws” to solve som<
legal problems of people whi
live in or come from othe
states.
In Texas, for instance, th<
property a man and wife ge
(which is not a gift of inheri
tance) becomes communit;
property. But in Massachusetts
what a husband gets is his sep
arate property. In some law sui
a Texas court may need to fin
out how much property th
Massachusetts husband h a:
When it does, the Texas coui
uses Massachusetts law to de
cide the point. The choice c
law results when you use th
rules found in the study of con
flict of laws.
Take a practical case: Sup
pose two Texans crash thei
cars in New Mexico, but su
each other in Texas. Which d
you use: Texas or New Mexic
law? The Texas court will de
cide who is negligent unde
New Mexico law.
Now suppose a Texas cow
decides for - one party who
then sued again for the san
thing in a second state. We]
to make all states treat eac
other alike, our United Stab
Constitution has the “full fail
and credit clause”: So the fir
judgment will bind the partit
just as if the new court in tl
new action has made the 6.
judgment itself.
But a state does not have
give “full faith and credit”
a judgment if the first cou
lacked jurisdiction.
For example, a state ci
grant divorces to its own res
dents, but not to non-residen1

only get $85 worth of the stock,
the balance going to tax.
* ♦ ♦
This method of thinking be-
comes quite confusing. On one
hand when thumping the tub
for bigger and better foreign
give aways, the argument is
that foreign nations need these
vast outpourings of American
tax money to expand their
economy and keep them from
going down the road of social-
ism to communism.
♦ ♦ ♦
On the other hand, it Is now
argued that it is bad for the
American economy for the in-
dividual American to risk some
of his own money to buy stock
in a private foreign enterprise
to help it expand.
* ♦ ♦
This is a most difficult para-
dox to understand. So, it is per-
haps well at this point to con-
sider the current controversy
over the proposed steel plant
in India.
♦ ♦ ♦
In private hands, India has
all the steel industry it can
support at present. Yet the for-
eign give away people want to
shovel millions of U.S. tax dol-
lars in building a state-owned
steel plant in India.
♦ * *
This, then, seems a logical
explanation of the situation.
* * *
It is quite all right to take
tax dollars from American pri-
vate enterprise to build social-
istic enterprise abroad, but it
is bad for private American
investors to risk their own
money in private foreign en-
terprise. Paraphrasing the stir-
ring cry of a famous American
patriot at the time of the Tri-
poli incident, the cry now
i seems to be “Billions for so-
cialism, but not one cent for
[ private enterprise.”
THE MISSING RIGHT
In all the current furor over civil rights we have
not heard nor seen a single mention of an extreme-
ly important right—the right of a worker to join,
or not to join, a labor union.
This is a deplorable omission because compul-
sory unionism, which requires workers in union-
ized plants to join unions in order to hold their
jobs, is still permitted in 30 of the 50 states.
It is our view that the 30 states should take im-
mediate steps to restore the right of free choice in
union membership by enacting the same type of
right-to-work laws extant in their 20 sister states.

Common Sense

If a man had a water bucket
that leaked from two holes, one
about the size of a half dollar,
the other smaller than a dime,
it is to be presumed if he want-

he would plug up both leaks.

would look at
him with C. W. Harder
some bewilderment.
* * *
This somewhat parallels the
curious proposals now before
Congress to stop U.S. gold loss.
* * *
The biggest drain on U. S.
gold has been the exchange of
dollars sent abroad in various
foreign give away programs
for U. S. gold. These various
schemes have already cost
over $100 billion.
* * *
There also happens to be
some American investors,
large and small, attracted by
the profit possibilities of some
foreign enterprises, who have
been risking their own money
to buy stock in these firms.
This outflow is literally
nuts compared to the
handouts by the foreign
away people.
* * *
So now there is before Cong-
ress a proposal that Americans
who desire to invest in foreign
enterprise be charged a 15%
tax. In other words, if a man
wants to buy $100 worth in
stock in a foreign firm, he will
