for a short time Tuesday morning.
He had been under treatment for

York’s new senator-elect, has
i '
Since he also won by a land-
slide in 1952. It may be assumed
he would just go on being his
same self, That doesn't follow,
for he's in a different position now
from 1952, politically and person-
ally.
He was a political amateur in
1952. He isn't now. His knowl-
edge of government and of how to
get his programs through Con-
gress was meager in 1952. It isn’t
now.
Between 1952 and 1956 he could
always think that perhaps the
huge vote in 1952 was due partly
to public desire for a change aft-
er 20 years of the Democrats and
partly to public hope, rather than
confidence, he would make as
good a president as he did a gen-
eral.
He doesn't have to worry about
that now. Last Tuesday's vote was
an outpouring of approval for his
first four years’ performances.
He owes far less to the Republi-
can party than the party owes
him.
The voters supported him over-
whelmingly while not even en-
trusting his party with control of
Congress. He has said he wants
to shape a new Republican par-
ty. He couldn't do it in his first
four 'years. He has only four
more left, since the Constitution
limits him tn two terms.
He was mild, friendly and un-
critical with everyone in the par-
ty ih his first term even though
there were many in it who disa-
greed with him and even voted
against him.
“Spread,” it seems, has become a bad word in the
minds of some people. The word describes the price
difference between what producers are paid for raw
materials—and what consumers must pay at retail for
finished, ready-to-use products. “Spread” would not
seem a bad word if there were a better understanding
of what its significance is.
A spokesman for a grocery manufacturers associa-
tion has said: “Without spread not only manufacturers
- and distributors—but farmers as well—would be out of
business. Our bread would be wheat on a Kansas
farm; our cheese and butter would be milk in a pail
in Wisconsin; and our breakfast juice would be on
the trees in a Florida or California orange grove. With-
out spread there would be no food business as we know
it. The food business would consist of local farmers
selling direct to local consumers.”
This is true of all business—clothing, appliances,
household wares, drugs, and everything else. Some-
one has to take the raw materials, transform them in-
, to articles people need and want, and offer them for
sale. That's where spread comes in. .
There is complaint because in many cases the spread
is larger than It used to be This overlooks the fact
that people want, demand and get infinitely greater
convenience in the form of processed foods and in
other ways—and to “build-in” that convenience takes
much labor and costs a lot of money. The fact .that
all production and retail businesses are intensely
competitive guarantees that the spread will be as low
as possible. .n -

All this points to smooth sailing
on the collective bargaining front,

of organized workers.
There may be a renewal of scat-
tered labor troubles in the South,
among smaller worker groups.
The big unions. with their northern
contracts settled for the next see
eral years, may turn to renewed
organizing efforts in Dixie Many
employers there are stoutly re-
sisting union efforts to organize
their workers.
Living costs are a record high
and appear to be rising. But labor
unions generally have taken care
of this by providing, in their long
term contracts, for pre-arranged
annual raises and living cost pay
boosts. Those latter arrangements

Too Many Spectators, .
Not Enough Participants
T
One of the principal weaknesses of the American •
system is that too many citizens are content to be
spectators rather than participant* in the great game
of government
in this regard. General George C. Marshall, while
he was secretary of state, said in a Princeton Univer-
sity address, “Spectators of life are not those who will
retain their liberties nor are they likely to contribute
to their country's security.”
Certainly we ought to be reminded daily that our
God-given freedom to participate in affairs of govern-
ment will continue to live only so long as we can use it.
To the spectator citizen this vital freedom has very
little meaning, for he views the American scene as he
would watch an athletic event—observing the appar-
ent. but knowing little of that which made it possible.
As a spectator he reads in the paper of some action
taken by the elected officials of his city and, with little
or no information concerning the subject, draws his
conclusions This action may directly affect his wel-
fare and family. Yet as a spectator he did not bother
to attend the public hearing, study the proposals dis-
cussed on the newspaper or read the brochure distrib-
uted to his door.
We have seen this happen many times in Denton.
People gripe about the city budget. But when a public
hearing was held on the proposed 1957 budget, only
14 persons attended.
As a mere spectator, the average citizen has watched
the processes of free government rather than voice
his opinion and in this way help develop a program
by which all benefit. ,
Then again, as an onlooker, he could perhaps see
the freedom of the press abused by an individual or
group seeking through devious plan to corrupt the
moral fiber of American youth or, through the free- ■
dom of speech, hear the extremist blur the issues in
an attempt to confuse our vision and hope for a new
tomorrow.
Indeed, as a spectator, he might conclude that his
small voice would only be lost among thousands in a
system where everyone is given an opportunity to
speak.
But those who have experienced participation know
well the good which comes when right-thinking citi-
zens take an active part in community, state, and
national affairs. One interested citizen can inspire a
chain reaction of good will and human service through-
out a community.
The participant understands why plans go wrong.
He knows why dreams come true.

Tuesday by 450,000 votes.
Javits, whom everyone calls
“Jack," was educated in New I
York's public schools. He went to
Columbia University night school
and New York University Law
School.'He was admitted to law
practice in 1927.
During World War II, he was
assistant to the chief of opera-
tions of the Chemical Warfare
Service in the European and Pa-
cific theaters. He came out a lieu-
tenant colonel.
As a Republican with Liberal
party backing, he was elected to |
the first of four terms in Con
gress in 1946.
In 1951 he reluctantly ran on the
GOP ticket for president of the
New York City Council and lost. In
1953 he sought coalition backing
for mayor but didn't get it.
In 1954, he was the only Repub-
lican to win on a statewide ticket.
He defeated Franklin D Roose-
velt Jr. for attorney general by
176,000 votes.
Before tackling Wagner — an-
other of New York's famous son*
of a famous father — Javit*
cleared himself of rumors that he
dealt with Communists when he
first ran for Congress.
