By PAUL HARVEY
I once new a man who was so
thoroughly gentle and kindly in his
every thought and deed that he
could not conceive of anybody be-
ing otherwise.
Mr. W. was not a Communist,
but he did contribute to front or-
ganizations from his modest re-
sources because he truly believed
this was the way to understanding
and peace.
Eventually, at 50. he smashed
his health against the rude truths
of a realistic world and died.
Mr. W. was never to a position
of great influence from which he
might mislead masses with his
naivete. But Cyrus Eston is. This
industrialist, uncomfortably self-
conscious about his wealth, is be-
latedly obsessed with his moral ob-
ligation to bo rest of the human
race.
Mr. Eaton is most relieved of
this burden when he can parade
his compassion in public places.
Recently he telecast his views on
a nationwide network.
Why was not some pink punk
from bughouse square interviewed
instead? Because, by some twisted
logic, Eaton's wealth is suppos-
ed to make his worth hearing
from. There can be no other ex-
orldrizbr reserved
The questions everybody is asking about polio vac*
cinations are answered in a quiz sheet just issued by
the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the
organization which has been battling polio for 20 years
and which made the Salk vaccine possible. Here are
the main ones.
Q. Can adults get polio? A. They can and they do.
And it hits them harder than it hits children.
Q. Are parents safe from polio if their children
have been vaccinated? A. No. Everybody has to get
his own vaccination. A vaccinated person, though pro-
tected against polio, can still carry the polio virus and
infect the unvaccinated.
Q. Are you safe if you’ve had one shot? Two shots?
A. Not as safe as the vaccine can make you. One
shot is better than none. Two shots are better than
one. But for maximum protection you need at least
three shots,
Q. Is a baby too young to be vaccinated? A. Last
year babies one year old had the highest polio attack
rate of any age group. Next came children aged two.
Some health authorities recommend starting polio

"The taxpayers can't afford to celebrate.”
He's so right i .
Cyrus Eaton does not carry a
card formally identifying himself
with the Communist conspiracy.
Either he feels his Influence is
greater this way, or else he gen-
uinely believes that he is not elig-
ible — even if his every utterance
is highlyracceptable to Moscow.
So either Mr. Eaton is cunning
or color blind. In either case, his
remarks must be considered to
proper perspective.

—WASHINGTON in-NWhat hap-
pens if Congress ignores Presi-
dent Eisenhower's request to con-
tinue the Reciprocal Trade Agree-
ments Act and lets it die? Not
much—for awhile, anyway.
For example: Eisenhower
couldn’t then agree to lower any
more tariffs on goods imported
from abroad. But all the present
agreements with 43 countries—
under which various tariffs have
been lowered—would stand un-
changed.

Bit nynrc, over a penoci or time,
he might be pushed into raising
tariffs, thus beginning the wreck-
age of all the good will built up
over 34 years. There would be a
diminishing confidence abroad to
American trade policies.
PREFERENCE?
But Eisenhower might actually
prefer to see the act die this year
—in the hope of getting it re-
TOOKONANYSTNT
SHORT OF OUTRIGHT
manufacturer felt he was being
injured because a tariff had been
lowered on some particular im-
port which competed in the Amer-
ican market he could appeal to
the United States Tariff Commis-
sion.
The commission would hold
hearings, make an investigation,
and perhaps recommend to the
President that he use the escape
clause to raise the tariff on an
import which. to agreement with
another country, he had lowered.
Under the act the President was
free to suit himself: raise the tar-
iff or reject the commission’s roe*
ommendations and let the tariff
stand untouched.
That brings us up to now. The
Trade Act never was permanent
law. Over 24 years It has been
repeatedly renewed by Congress
for a specified period of time.
Otherwise it would have died.
UNCHANGED
It will die automatically June 90
unless Congress renews it. Eisen-
hower asked for it to be extended
five more years. As explained, if
it dies, present agreements re-
main unchanged. The escape
clause remains unchanged, too.
If the law dies a manufacturer
ean appeal to the Tariff Commis-
sion. It can recommend to Eisen-
hower that an agreed-on tariff be
raised. He'd still be free to raise
it or let it stand as is. But he
couldn't lower any more tariffs
But this is a recession year. A
number of businesses complain
that some imports—whose tariffs
are now part of agreements with
other countries — are hurting
them. So the Trade Act has many
foes inside and outside Congress
If the act dies, there will be in-
creasing pressure on Eisenhower
to use the escape clause to raise
tariffs. If he does so, other coun-
tries will retaliate by using the
escape clause to raise tariffs
against us.
BETTER HOPE .
But if the law dies he can still
reject the increases and to anoth-
er year — particularly if the re
cession recedes—can go back and
ask with better hope of success
that the law be renewed again.
The act’s enemies might do the
whole trade program more dam-
age by renewing it this year with
crippling changes.
They might include a provision
giving Elsenhower no choice but
to raise tariffs if the Tariff Com-
mission recommended the action
to protect an injured American in-
dustry.

Over New
Texas Navy
TYLER UP - Those 999,000 Tex-
ans recently offered the rank of
"admiral" In the reactivated Tex-
M Navy by Gov. Price Daniel
need look no further for a banner
to symbolize those four - star com-
missions.
Wilky Walters, Sierra Madre,
Calif,, himself an “admiral" in the
Texas Navy, has designed a flag
readily adaptable for their use.
Gov. Dsniel recently in his San
Jacinto Day speech, he invited the
286,000 pleasure boat owners in
Texas to register their craft as
ready for emergency service at
any time," and in return, receive
commissions as admirals in the
Texas Navy.
Walters’ flag is near in appear-
ance to the Commodore Charles
Hawkins’ flag which, in 1836, was
approved as the national flag "for
the Naval service of the Republic
of Texas."
Hawkins' flag featured a large
white star centered in a union blue
background in its upper left - hand
corner, with 19 alternating rod and
white stripes.
For his flag, made of red, white
and blue pieces of felt board, Wal-
ton has surrounded that central
star with four smaller stars to
symbolize the rank of admiral in
the Texas Nsvy conferred on him
last year by Gov. Daniel.
The flag made in California
made its way to Texas because of
a Texas tie • in.
Walters, a native of Nacogdoch-
es County in East Texas, sent the
flag to his younger brother, B. T.

We Should Be Celebrating
Today-lf We Had The Money
SOMEONE OUGHT TO climb up to“the top of Den-
ton's courthouse today and fire about 300 pounds of
firecrackers. Or maybe we should have a parade in-
stead. Or maybe a full fledged holiday. But we ought
to do something today.
This day—Tuesday, May 13. 1958—deserves to be
celebrated. lt‛s Tax Freedom Day, And if you’re still
a bit unhappy from the effects of April 15, when you
paid your annual tribute to Uncle Sam. you should be
leading that parade, or firing those fireworks or de-
. cUring that holiday.
For Tax Freedom Day simply means that this is the
first day in 1958 on which the taxpayer can call his
. earned dollar his own. Until today every dollar earn-
ed by the average taxpayer theoretically has gone into
government tills from City Hall to the U.S. Treasury.
No one seems to pay attention to Tax Freedom Day,
even though this is, the 10th year it’s been observed I
or at least designated. Why no attention?
Well, for one thing, the day is a movable holiday
which, thus far, has proved to be moving in only one
direction—forward. In 1948 we’d paid all our taxes
on April 27. Last year it was May 10. In 1920 we
। would have paid up on Feb. 28. This year it took us
from January to mid-May. 7---- -
In case anyone’s wondering how in the name of
Form 1040 Tax Freedom Day can be figured, it’s done
quite simply with mathematics. First you take the esti-
mated total tax receipts of all governments in the
Unied ‘States—-125 billion dollars. Divide that by the
estimated personal income of all the people in the
United States—342.8 billion. Answer: 36.4 per cent.
Now take 36 4 per cent of the 365-day year. Answer:
133 days. This is the 133rd day of the year.
Did someone say he’s still never heard of Tax Free-
dom Day? One of the sponsors of the day agrees, has
this as his reason:

COPENHAGEN ( — That pret-

Of this 190 average, about 140

This comes at a time when
American metal producers al-

of their own.
OUTPOURING
Aluminum, tin, platinum and
zine at well at some of the steel
aiioywi have felt the competition.
And some of the price weakness
in these metals to traced to an
outpouring of Russian‘metal, es-
pecially into Western Europe.
The Russians can tot their own
prices—usually below the prevail-
lag world price—because Soviet
bookkeeping isn’t hampered by
such things as the cost of produc-
tion or the need to break even.
There’s no way of knowing Mos-
cow's intentions: Whether Russia
simply is producing more now and
wants to sell surpluses to get
funds needed tor purchases of
Western goods, or whether it to
upsetting world markets and thus
adding to whatever effect the
American recession to having on

But Khrushchev boasts he plana

in metals may bo the first of
these economic brush wars.
