Too Close to the Forest
Some bright fellow is going to win the hearts
of the citizens of the free society someday by
devising an acceptable substitute for the strike as
a worker’s economic weapon.
',' At best it is a wasteful device. After a major
strike, the cost in lost production and lost wages
is usually totted up. But seldom if ever does anyone
try to figure how long the affected workers have to
toil before their new gains—if any—balance their
losses.
A When big industries and the flow of basic
goods are affected, the production loss to the nation
can be serious. In the great competitive race with
the Communist world, we can ill afford such slow-
downs.
Beyond this, too, there are instances in which
the strike weapon is in fact abused.
Fundamentally, it is conceived as the ultimate
pressure device which workers can apply against
employers whose resources are presumed to be so
ample ■they could hold out indefinitely at the bar-
gaining table.
In fairness to the general public, it should not
be used to cripple a community, to endanger their
health or their military security. Most unions are
careful to stay within these reasonable bounds.
But occasionally some step beyond. The strike
of three unions against the tugboat and ferry oper-
atioaisef 11 eastern railroads is such a case.
In essence this is a small strike over a small
issue. They want the right to fix the size of crews
on railroad tugs, the companies wish to retain the
right• to determine crew sizes flexibly. Only 660
workers are involved.
To press their demands, the unions have not
been content to tie up ferry and tugboat activities
ofjftie affected rail lines. This alone, of course, has
disrupted commuter transport and food supplies for
thousands of New Yorkers and suburbanites.
The strikers have gone further. They chose to
picket rail lines not directly involved in their oper-
ations, with the express purpose of putting the
squeeze on New York’s food supply and forcing its
commuter transport to suffer major crippling. The
net effect is also to handicap long distance rail
operations.
This is a clear abuse of the strike weapon. By
hurting the general public, by shutting off essential
transport, they are attempting to coerce both their
employers and the public authorities into a favor-
able settlement.
Whatever the basic merits of their cause, the
unions involved deserve to lose this round in their
battle.'They have forgotten their real responsibilities
and have thought only of their own narrow little
cause.
Closing In
A gimmick much used in stories and movies
—as well as in real life—may be coming to an
end. That is the absence of an extradition treaty
between the United States and Brazil since 1913,
whereby Brazil became a haven for wanted Ameri-
caiggriminals.
* A proposed treaty covering 33 specific crimes
will, go into effect as soon as it is ratified by the
legislatures of both countries.
Any time a kiss will change a pout into a
pucker we’re for it.

The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON — Henry Ford
II has always been a generous
contributor to the Republican
party, but this year he found
himself contributing to the cam-
paign debt of the Democrats.
Just before the inauguration,
Mr. Ford’s representative turned
up in the office of Matt McCIos-
key, the Philadelphia builder who
has worked so hard as treasurer
of the Democratic National Com-
mittee.
He said: “Because Mr. Mc-
Namara is in the cabinet, Mr.
Ford would like to come down
for the inauguration and wants
eight tickets for the inaugural
gala.”
“That will cost him $800,” re-
plied McCloskey. “But a box holds
ten. Why doesn’t Mr. Ford take
a box instead.”
“That might be a good idea,”
replied the Ford representative.
“That will cost him $10,000.”
“Oh, Mr. McCloskey,” moaned
the Ford emissary. “Mr. Ford
would fire me if I paid that
much.”
“He’ll fire you if you come
back with the seats I’m going to
give you if you don’t take a
box,” replied the man who has
raised so much money tor the
Democratic party.
“But look what we’ve done for
the Democrats. We’ve given you
Mr. McNamara for secretary of
defense.”
“You didn’t give him to us. He
quit and we hired him,” counter-
ed McCloskey.
In the end, McCloskey did not
make the sale. Henry Ford bought
tickets to Inaugural Ball and the
parade but, because of the snow
and other developments, did not
get to Washington.
JFK — Eight Years Ago
Eight years is a relatively short
time in the life span of man. But
eight years ago from the day that
John F. Kennedy took the oath as
President of the United States
things are quite different.
Here is what the President of
the United States did on Jan. 20,
1953, as Dwight D. Eisenhower
was inaugurated.
He gave a dinner that night in
the Georgetown house he had
rented from Dr. Samuel A. Alex-
ander at 3271 P Street. Having
rented the house a few days be
tore, and being a 35-year-old
bachelor, he hadnt bothered to
look the house over. At the last
minute he discovered there was
no stove. There was also no hot
water.
Actually it was the family cook,
Margaret Ambrose, flown down
from Ilyannis Port, Mass., for
the occasion, who made this dis-
covery when she started to cook
dinner. Twelve guests had been
invited, but there was no stove
George, the butler, was sent out
to buy a hot plate.
Jacqueline Bouvier, who was to
becoijie Mrs. Kennedy later that
September, was one of the guests
And the senator, who had taken
the oath only two weeks before
drove to her home to pick her
up—something he seldom did
with others. The Kennedy sisters
were also present, still single,
and Jackie looked a bit horrified
when they engaged in “Indian
wrestling” before dinner. This
was rather a rough game which
sometimes found the participants
wrapped inside rugs on the floor
However, it took a long time to
cook dinner—on that one hot
plate—even though the cook re
sorted to hamburgers.
The other guests included Joan
Lawler, Langdon Marvin, a cous-
in of Franklin Roosevelt, and Le-
moyr.e Billings of New York. At
ter the dinner was over — very
late—the problem arose of get-
ting to the Eisenhower ball. Un-
like the retinue of limousines and
secret service cars that escorted
Mr. Kennedy to five different
inaugural balls on Jan. 20, 1961,
he could find no car on Jan. 20,
1953.
But one thing remained the
same. It was snowing.
Langdon Marvin had rented a
taxi, however, and most of the
guests piled into that.
Kennedy, a very freshman sen-
ator, hadn’t enough pull to get a
box at the ball. But he finally got
there, and danced on that crowd-
ed floor—almost unnoticed. To
the very few who did notice him,
not one would have dreamed
that eight years later he would
be the President of the United
States.
African Oversight
Last fall this column called
attention to President Eisenhow-
er’s failure to see new African
presidents and premiers when he
went to New York for the UN
Assembly, thereby letting Pre-
mier Khrushchev make a lot of
hay by attending sorts of Afri-
can receptions.
Last week President Kennedy
also tailed to show at a special
reception given in honor of the
16 new African republics, though
he found time to attend all sorts
of other affairs.
The reception was given by the
older African ambassadors for
the new African ambassadors
whose countries have just attain-
ed their independence. And since
Kennedy as a senator was a pio-
neer for African independence,
everyone expected him to be
presnt.
African ambassadors were de-
lighted, though not surprised,
when Kennedy accepted. They

Clean Eye Glasses Important
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN
If you wear glasses, on occa-
sion you may have suddenly
realized that the day seemed a
bit misty and that, unexpected-
ly, you had a dim view? Could
be that your eye glasses needed
washing.
This sounds sort of idiotic but
it has happened to me. Don’t
comment on that! Bet it has hap-
pened to you, too. This is one of
those small but essential rituals
which we sometimes’ forget. Once
in a while I have thought, “What
is wrong?” and then held my
glasses between me and the light
with resulting embarrassment.
Many women who usually are
careful about their grooming for-
get about this.
Clean glasses are important for
several reasons. In the first
place, your eyes will look much
prettier behind sparkling “win-
dows.” From the standpoint of
beauty clean glasses are espec-
ially important for the woman
who wears them all the time.
It’s important to have clean
glasses for efficiency and good
health, too. Clouded glasses place
a strain on the eyes somewhat
like reading in inadequate light-
ing. This in turn makes us feel
tired all over and can lead to
headache.

IT OCCURS TO ME
CAN CAT TROUBLES
BE SOLVED?
By LIN MILLS
Taylor Press News Editor
THIS CAT BUSINESS the
city council members were
talking is both serious and fun-
ny. If you’ve ever had them
howl all night around your place
you know how upsetting it can
be. If you’re a cat lover, you
might take the opposite view.
City Attorney Tom Bullion
had done a little investigating
ahead of time, guessing that
the subject would come up. In
his diggings he found that few
cities “dared to try to regu-
late cats.” You just don’t lind
many ordinances cities have
passed. “It’s a problem that
appears almost unsolvable,”
he said. “Towns all over the
state are afraid to regulate
cats. Not to mention that it’s
politically unfeasible.”
He pointed out that Aransas
Pass had a licensing law, re-
quiring that all cat owners pay
$2 to license their pets. Other-
wise they are impounded.\
Melvin Pfennig suggested that
a lot of cats in Taylor are un-
owned.
Mayor “Nitter” Kollman ask-
ed that Bullion keep probing in-
to the matter. “If you come up
with something (some way to
regulate cats) you might put
Taylor on the map,” he said.
Bullion said a licensing fee
might be some deterrent to so
many cats. - •
F. E. Holman said the town
is “infested with eats.”
“There are too many cats
and not enough people,” said
Kollman, ‘That’s why I can’t
be mayor of a town of 10,000.”
Pfennig wanted to know if it
would be possible to limit the
number of dogs and cats a
person could own.
Kollman didn’t know, but he
asked Bullion to keep digging
and see what he could come up
with.
Bullion said it might be pos-
sible to control cats by passing
a licensing ordinance or maybe
they could be regulated by lim-
iting the number a person could
own. But he was sure the city
couldn’t pass an ordinance re-
quiring that cats be pinned up
or that they be put on a leash.
‘That sounds impossible,” he
said.
Porter Prewitt wanted to
know what would happen to the
fellow who raised cats and
dogs commercially if the num-
ber a person could own were
limited.
Police Chief Pete Schier said
he didn’t think licensing of cats
was practical. “We have too
much trouble with dogs,” he
said.
Kollman agreed. “We don’t
even carry out the terms of our
dog ordinance,” he said.
“I don’t know what to do,”
were crestfallen when he failed
to turn up.
Instead, Kennedy attended a
big reception thrown by Bart
Lytton, the Los Angeles savings
and loan banker, at the Statler,
three blocks away from the Af-
rican reception.
African disappoinment increas-
ed when later the President turn-
ed up at various private parties,
as late as 3:30 a.m.
Note—Mennen “Soapy” Wil-
liams, six times governor ot
Michigan and new assistant sec-
retary of state for Africa, partly
made up for Kennedy’s absence.
He came early, stayed late. In-
stead of standing around and
smiling, as do most state depart-
ment officials, he buttonholed am-
bassadors, discussed their prob-
lems, and three hours later, when
almost everyone else had left,
was still going strong, ,v, «

F. E. Holman said, “but I’ve
got the trouble. When it’s wet
my front porch (and he has a
large one) is covered with cat
tracks in the mornings.”
Pfennig had an idea. “Did
you ever think of getting a dog
or two?” he asked.
City Manager F. R. Crom-
well reminded commissioners
that some young vandals had
been shooting out street lights
and school windows. Then he
suggested to Holman that he
might get hold of these youths
and get them to go on a great
big cat hunt.
“Just one dog would take
care of your cat situation,”
Prewitt told Holman.
“They (the cats) would go
to someone else’s yard, any-
way,” Cromwell said.
And that’s where the city
council left the subject.

If you wear glasses when driv-
ing, the safety element enters the
picture.. When lenses are blurred,
vision, is not nearly so clear and
can be especially dangerous in
the glare of oncoming headlights.
So, for the sake of health,
beauty, efficiency' arid safety,

Pontiac holds, hugs and hangs on to the
road like no other car.There’s no outside-

the wheels for improved stability.
Another Wide-Track advantage: There’s
more room between the wheels to mount
the springs, shocks and control arms at
more stable angles to the wheels. This
prevents drifting and wandering, allows
Pontiac to track flat and level as it
travels around corners and curves.
