today costs the bride (or her pap)
neary 11,700. . . . This includes
$160 for the dress and 8600 for a
reception. ... But it doesn't cover
the new 13.50 necktie the bride-
groom buys for the ceremony, or
the $400 spent on the honeymoon.
The most popular marrying age
in thie country, incidentally, has
dropped to 18 for brides, 21 for

Why The Delay?
To “encourage” businesses to expand and modernize,
the Kennedy Administration has come up with a Rube
Goldberg syetem of tax concessions, while announcing
that basic income tax rate reform is necessary but will
be put off at least until next year.
The House Ways and Means Committee is now hear-
ing witnesses on this year’s proposal, which extends
tax “forgiveness’ allowances to businesses that spent
more than before for new plant and equipment. This
plan boils down to dictation by government as to how
individuals and corporations shall conduct their busi-
nesses.
The Treasury estimates that $1.7 billion in tax
breaks would go to businesses building new facilities.
But with the other hand, the Treasury would take back
this amount plus $250 million more from businesses by

Bundy said getting out the pay-

“The big problem is that we've
never been able to train the
animals to stop eating when
we’re not showing,” Bundy said.
"But at that the animals are less
of a worry than the people. They
aren’t as temperamental.”
Bundy, a cheerful. Nue-eyed
man of 54, is a close friend of
circus president John Ringling
North. He worked his way up to
his present post after more than
30 years as a clarinet player and

Dulles was the most traveled sec-
rotary in history, told a news con-
ference March 9.
“I personally have felt my time
can be spent to best advantage
in Washington.”
FOUR CONFERENCES
But in the two months since
then he has attended four inter-
national conferences outside this
country:
The Southeast Asia Treaty Or- '
ganization (worried about the in-
creasing Communist takeover in
Laosi in Bangkok, Thailand; the -
Central Treaty Organization
(worried about the possibility of
revolntion- in Iran) in Ankara,
Turkey; the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (anxious to mend its
differences and show Russia a
stiff lip) in Oslo, Norway; and
now in Geneva, Switzerland, for a
14-nation conference on setting up
a neutral government in Laos.
Kennedy goes to Canada to-
day for a visit and then travels
to Paris May 31 for a conference
with French President Chdarles de
Gaulle. He’D most likely seek
Khrushchev immediately after-
ward. if plans are completed.
PREVIOUS IDEAS
This is what Kennedy said
about summit meetings during the
1960 presidential campaign:
"Before we go to the summit,
before we ever meet again, I
think it is Important that the
United States build its strength,
build its military strength as
well as its economic strength.
"If we negotiate from a posi-
tion where the power balance is
moving away from us, it is ex-
tremely difficult to meet a situa-
tion on Berlin as well as other
things.”
(Berlin is not an issue at the
moment but is expected to be this
year. But in the time since Ken-
nedy made that statement—a
short time ago as military build-
up goes— this country hasn’t been
able to ndd much to its strength.)
SECONDARY LEVEL
But Kennedy went on: “I will
not meet Mr. Khrushchev unless
there were some agreement at
the secondary level, foreign min-
isters or ambassadors, that would
indicate that the meeting will
have some hope of success or
useful exchange of ideas.”
Here’s Rusk on summit meet-
ings in a talk he made Jan. 18,
1960:
“It diverts time and energy
(the President’s) from exactly the
point at which we can spare it
least: it does not give us effec-
tive negotiations: such experience
as we have had with summit
diplomacy does not encourage
the view that it contributes to the
advancement of American inter-
ests.” He added, “Summit di-
plomacy is tn be approached with
the wariness with which a pru-
dent physician prescribes habit-
forming drugs.”
TRAVELING ...
On March 9 Rusk said this
about traveling by a secretary of
state: “I personally have felt that
my time can be spent to best
advantage in Washington and I
hope to make good on that over
the years."
Rut he added that he didm’t
want to be dogmatic about Ehls.

In short, the Harvard-educ-

is a remarkable connection bet-
ween a good vocabulary and
success in every field of act-
ivity.
"Word study can open the
door to a world of new ideas,
stir up a new urge to learn,”
O’Connor says. “Adding a few
nuggets a day to our word load
can enrich our minds and make
us more confident, effective
and successful human beings."
In other words, advises
O’Connor, the path to success,
more often than not, is paved
with the pages of Webster’s
aamumue.

ible supposition.
Of course, the businessman who could best expand
by hiring more salesmen, spending money on promo-
tion, increasing his advertising or marketing a new pro-
duct, would be hit by new taxes and get none of the tax
breaks. Yet, his way of “getting the country moving
again” is as good as a new plant—which he may not
need. He will be impeded, not helped.
Some businesses, under the administration plan, un-
doubtedly would be “stimulated” to spend unwisely,
especially as new taxes would diminish the prospect
for profit on the new facilities. Many businesses don’t
grow, or even starin', if their product is one in merely
steady or declining demand, or if the section in which
they are situated is not a growing one. For them, ex-
pansion might be folly. Yet, they are presently provid-
ing jobs and performing essential services.
This “investment credit” approach to business health
is a novel nostrum of no great promise. Hearings are
scheduled to be short, and a vote will come quickly.
Congress would do well to defeat it, and enact real
income tax rate reform to accomplish economic growth.
This year would be infinitely better for the job than
next
And the Herlong-Baker bill for the purpose, already
well known to the lawmakers and fully explored, would
be the ideal vehicle for the job.

with your editorial where it said
we should all work together.
Mrs. Robertson, in her letter,
about Fred Moore School, mention-
ed the subjects we do not have. I
am sure she knows where the
blame lies. It’s not the principal;
it‘s the school board. The Negroes
do not like where they (the school
board) are building the new ele-
mentary school.
We tried in the last election to
get representation on the school
board so that our views could be
known. I am sorry to say that
we did not get too much help
from certain people in Denton. We
lost. What did the Negroes do?
They jumped on the principal.
Why? Psychologists call it an ave-
nue of escape. There is no escap-
ing the fact that our loss is Den-
ton's lose. Our gains are Denton’s
gains.
Mrs. Leue, in her letter. said
we "are for the most part too
humble, too inarticulate and too
ignorant of our rights.” That is
not true. We are just like any oth-
er people. We are like the Jews
in Germany, the Jamaicans in Eng-
land, the Cubans under Batista.
In some of the countries the law
is against them. We have laws
that protect the Negroes, but does
he get equal protection under the
law?
The inarticulate people "u talk
about saved the day in .he Re-
volutionarv War, they helped to
preserve the Union and helped to
save our Republican form of gov-
ernment in World War I and II.
Mrs. Leue said, "considering the
budget, we as a community can’t
afford to give this school much
more in the way of teachers quali-
fied to teach a broad curriculum
than there now are.”
If that is true, the school board
has grossly neglected Fred Moore
High School. Negroes pay school
taxes like other citizens of Denton.
Why shouldn’t his children be treat-
ed as other children?

The U.S. Immigration Service says this ship and one other which has docked at Balti-
more apparently took part in last month’s unsuccessful anti - Castro invasion of
Cuba. The Immigration Service said three of the passengers and
ships have asked for political asylum in the United States, and som
able weather conditions which
have affected food production, but
poor management under the com-
mune system. Malnutrition was
said to have led to a sharp rise
in tuberculosis, liver diseases and
a general apathy of the popula-
tion.
3. Another factor was said to
be sharp differences among some
of the top Communist officials in
the Peiping hierarchy. There are
reports of slashing attacks from
followers of the inevitability of
war doctrine of the pro-Mao
group, and the peaceful coxist-
ence doctrine of the pro-Moscow
group.
Other responsible authorities
here disagree sharply with this
thesis. It is pointed out that Com-
munist China harvested 90 mil-
lion tons of grain last year—short
of the goals but a lot of food. The
Red army—if no one else—was
said to be well fed and well cared
for to avert any possible troubles
from this direction.
Johnson in a speech at White
Sulphur Springs, W.Va., last week
declared the next 12-18 months
would most likely be a period of
maximum danger from Commu-
nist China. He did not elaborate
on this remark, or give a reason
for the time estimate.

t HONG KONG (API—Vice Presi-
dent Lyndon B. Johnson has re-
ceived information indicating the
Communist regime in China con-
ceivably could collapse in a year
to 18 months due to internal
stresses.
An authoritative source, report-
ing this Monday, said these views
came to Johnson from respectable
sources and are worthy of consid-
eration.
Johnson arrived here today
from Formosa, where he con-
ferred with Chiang Kai-shek.
The estimate of Chinese pros-
pects does not square with avail-
, able information from most in-
formed sources in Hong Kung.
These persons say no flat predic-
tiou of an upset in China can be
made.
The information given to John-
son was reported to be based on
a varietv of considerations, prin-
cipally these:
1. The Chinese Red army was
said to be nearing revolt stage
due to unhappiness with the role
they were required to play under
the regime of Mao Tze-tung.
2. Doctors coming out of the
• mainland are reporting 30 to 40
per cent of the population is in
bad shape due to malnutrition.

Everybody, that is, except
Rudy Bundy. As treasurer of the
Ringling Bros., Barnum and
Bailey Circus, he’d like to see
some elephants go on a voluntary
diet—the ones he buys hay for.
“We have 20 elephants and they
eat 30 bales of ley a day—plus
all the free peanuts they can
mooch. They eat all the time.”
he said.
“Elephants even eat at night
while they’re standing up sound
asleep. They never quit eating.”
The treasurer oi "The Greatest
Show on Earth" has problems
strikingly different from the
financial officers of most business
corporations.
Finding 30 bales of hay a day
on the road for the elephants is
easy, Bundy said, compared to
the task of buying 550 pounds of
horse meat daily for the lions
and tigers.
"That is getting harder every
year,” he remarked. "Sometimes
we have to feed them beef. But
that’s more expensive—and be-
sids, the big cats don’t like it
'as well. They prefer horse meat.’
