What Will It Coat?
Considerable confusion and mis-
representation prevail on the tender
subject of what the proposed Hopkins
County hospital district would cost the
county's property owners.
The question on which voter’s will
cast their ballots Saturday would au-
thorize creation of a district with pow-
■ air to levy a tax of up to 25 cents per
$100 assessed county valuation. This
means that property listed on the
county tax rolls at $2,000 would pay
$5 annually in hospital district tax.
The 25-cent rate is the MAXIMUM
permitted under the state law which
authorizes formation of the district as
a governmental unit subject to coun-
ty voter approval. Sponsors of the
legislation asked that the ceiling he
placed at this modest level to assure
that the tax load would he kept down.
The rate cannot he raised above this
figure under the statute.
Thus, standing on its own merits,
the hospital district would result in a
nominal tax increase. Improvement
of the hospital through any other pub-
lic source would have exactly the
same result. Nothing comes free.
Through a fortunate combination
of circumstances, however, it is pos-
sible for most Hopkins County resi-
dents to meet their responsibilities for
having adequate hospital facilities and
still come out ahead on their tax bills.
Taxes required to support two old
county bond issues expire this year,
and the county commissioners have
agreed in an official statement that it
will not be necessary to renew these
levies in 1963.
One is a 15-cent per $100 tax im-
posed on a county-wide basis to fi-
nance an old county road bond issue.
This 15-cent tax reduction will cover
all property in the county.
The other is a 25-cent tax put into
effect some years ago to finance pur-
chase of right-of-way for the II. S. 67
superhighway. It covers all property
situated five miles on each side of U.
S. 67 from Hrashear to a point in the
eastern part of the county, including
all of Sulphur Springs and immediate
vicinity. This is known as Road Dis-
trict No. 1.
Authorization of the hospital dis-
trict would leave all property owners
in Road District No. 1 enjoying the
benefit of a 15-cent tax reduction at
the county level despite the added
cost of the hospital program (25 cents
added. 40 cents removed).
Owners of property elsewhere in
the county would come out of the ex-
change with their county-level taxes
increased only 10 cents for support of
the badly needed hospital facilities
<25 cents added, 15 cents removed).
They still would be paying 15 cents
less than property owners in the cen-
tral part of the county have been pay-
ing for years.
No one, of course, enjoys paying
taxes. Much less appealing, however,
is the prospect of being forced to lie
in a crowded hall surrounded by
strangers when seriously ill, or even
dying.
Coming at this particular time, the
hospital program represents a rare
bargain in an exchange of tax values.
Most of the largest taxpayers in
the county recognize this aspect of
the situation even though they would
pay the most. That is why thev are
numbered among the most enthusias-
tic supporters of the hospital pro-
gram.

ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN
DENISOVICH. IJy Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

The political implications of this hook
overshadow its literary significance, although
the latter is not trivial.
This is the short novel that appeared first

of Stalin is being deflated.

Union/ “ The Soviet litefaff jeumayv' Novy

ment of socialist legality,” a double-talk
phrase meaning the forced labor ramps were

has been another zag in the zigzag cultural
policy, ansi some of the zigging has been mod-
ified.

Aside from the political overtones connect-
ed with the publication itself, this book is in-
teresting as a literary production. The au-
thor, who had experiences similar to those of
his hero, has been "rehabilitated” enough to
become a teacher in an obscure Russian city.
His manuscript is not wholly political. It has
a certain quality a« a narrative recording the
reactions of the universal human “pint un-
der extreme stress.
It is a moving document about an individ-
ual prisoner sent to one of the harsher Sta-
lin camps, a man whose psychological reac-
tions to camp life — staik, animal-like anil
brutal—-are recorded in equally stark prose
that gives the reader a thoroughly shaking
experience.
CALI. OUT THE MALIC I A. By John An-
thony West. Dutton. $3.95.
This collection of 10 short stories has an
offbeat rhaiacter, with a rather uneven score
in the matter of how the stories get across.
West seems to specialize in the type of
narratives which uo not end, but simply stop
in midflight.
Some of (hem are effective. There is a
vignette about a painter, titled “What, Ex-
actly, Do You Mean by ‘Cheese' .''’ that gives
a strongly etched picture of a personality.
The ip also is a little design in horror call-
ed "Town’ of Chanteyville,” depicting in
quick strokes what can happen to a stranger
in a creepy Georgia town.
And there is one of those slices of real-
ism which catches the gross spirit of a hoys'
summer camp, under the title of ''Journey
to Moonhowlet.x’ Isle.’'
However it must be said that a fantasy
t ailed “The Fiesta at Managua)'/’ whii h De-
tails an annual orgy of Lcgcaj- and cripples,
seems so forced and artificial that it falls
flat on its prose. And a couple of satirical
pieces, “(gorge” and “Gladys’s Gregory” •
may have had valid ideas at their core, but
their execution can a - them too far into un-
reality.
West is pretty good in sketching the stark
realities of u job hunter's experiences in
"Your Education Is Fine H it Where's Your
Experience?" but perhaps as a writer he needs
more seasoning. This is rather a shaky start,
but he may develop into a discerning writer
yet.

who spares the rod and the furnace get- full

★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
ADA Ha* Word for J. F. K.—
If He’ll Only Listen
By PETER EDSON
Washington Corrmpondont
Newapaper Enterpriaa Azan.
Washington, TNEA) — "Every 1*we~I M depreswsd/' says
Dr. John F. Roche, new national chairman of Americans for
Democratic Action, “I go out and read National Review to find
out how important we in ADA really are.”
National Review is William F. Buckiey Jr.’s weekly guide
for right-wingera. It looks upon ADA as a kind of Communist
ceil that runs the government. ADA thinks it’s not that import-
ant. ADA has written letters to President Kennedy telling hin
what he ought to do. But he hasn’t taken their free advice and
hasn’t even answered their letters.
“We have about 50,000 members—we’re very selective,”
says Roche, with tongue in check. "Liberals are rambunctious
types. They’re not good organization men. That .s what makes
them so enjoyable.”
■r The question of how much influence ADA really has is
mpde timely once more by the organization’s annuaDmessage to
the President teiling him what he should be for.
Roche who delivered this message to a small press confer-
ence, was elected ADA national chairman last year. He is a
Brooklyn boy, a Hofstra A. B. and Cornell Ph.D., Fulbright
Fellow and tramp professor at a half-dozen colleges.
Roche says he has no idea how many members of ADA are
also members of the next Congress, although his litterhead
lists five senators and one representaive who are members of
his national board and executive committee. The senators are
Clark of Pennsylvania, Humphrey and McCarthy of Minnesota,
Morse and Neuberger of Oregon. The congressman is Jimmy
Roosevelt of California.
Roche thinks there were several more ADAers elected to
the new Congress and he believes there is a net addition of
about five liberals to the House. “Also,” says Dr. Roche, "there
are a lot of good people in Congress who are not membres of
ADA.”
All things considered, Roche thinks the new Congress will
do right by the ADA program—if the President will just co-
opeiate and exercise the right kind of leadership.
That’s the No. 1 problem from the ADA point of view.
President Kennedy was never an ADAer. He knocked off ADA’s
favorite, Hubert Humphrey, in the West Virginia primary and
boasted after he was elected that he was a conservative.
"Conservatism comes two ways,” says Roche. “You can
have a conservative program or you can have a conservative
personality. Kennedy has a program that is 180 degrees to the
ieft of Barry Goldwqter and John Tower. But Kennedy hoards
his personality like a French peasant hoards his gold. He doesn’t
fight for all the things he believes in the way he fought for his
new trade program. In that battle he used his prestige and he
won a tremendous victory.”
The things that ADA thinks the President ought to fight
for this year include, as a minimum;
"Specific civil rights legislation, tax reductions and reform,
establishment of a department of urban affairs, medical care
for the aged under Social Security, federal aid to school con-
struction and teachers’ salaries, a sweeping attack on the corro-
sive blight of unemployment, open and energetic support for
changes in the rules of the House and Senate.”

New Dutiea. When organiza-
tion of the 88th Congress is
completed, many members will
have new assignments or new
duties in the committees, some-
times called the “little legisla-
tures.” In my own case, it is
expected that I will become
chairman of the Committee on
Banking a n d Currency (of the
House), a committee on which
I have served for 25 years.
This committee must approve
or disapprove legislation per-
taining to banks and other fi-
nancial institutions, as well as
legislations pertaining to the
Small Business Administration,
the FIIA. the Area Re< evelop-
nient Program, and other pro-
grams involving federal financ-
ing.. In addition, I expect to be-
come chairman of .he Joint
Senate-House Committee on De-
fense Production, which deals
with several matters that are
vital to our national defense,

the Joint Lconomic Committee.
