A PPOINTMENT of Walter
George, veteran Democratic
senator of Georgia, to a top post
with the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, by a Republican
president, is a deserved tribute
to the calibre of the man. It also
gives promise to America that
NATO is being geared to an
operation as free as possible
from partisan politics.
But NATO’s gain will mean a
big loss to the senate. Especially
h is this true if the man who has
| already announced his candidacy
[ for Senator George’s senate seat
I is successful. Herman Talmadge,
* watered-down image of a de-
magogic father will have to grow
a lot, and in new directions, if
^ he ever approaches the stature
of the man he seeks to succeed.

TN New York state a special
* commission on juvenile de-
linquency has come up with a
report containing a recommenda-
tion that is as wholesome as it
is unusual in this day and age.
It urges the “prudent looscn-
[ ing" of the state's child labor
I laws so that it will become eas-
j ier for youngsters in the early
teenage category to have part
| time jobs.
There probably was a time
£ when rigid and stringent child
1 labor laws were essentials, how
| essential, depending a lot upon
environment and population. But
| these laws have snow balled into
[ regulations that prevent a young-
! ster from doing even simple jobs
| that would be of physical, moral
and financial benefit to himself
| and his family.
It’s seldom that you hear of a
j kid who spends at least past of
' his off hours in gainful employ-
ment becoming a juvenile delin-
[ quent.

I ¥ HAVE never been a profes-
* sional money-raiser for chari-
table, health or other related
funds. Save for some volunteer
stints as a team solicitor through
the years, my experience has all
been in the role of contributor—
or at least, prospective contribu-
tor.
Maybe that’s why it’s a bit dif-
ficult for me to figure out the
why and the wherefor of the
S14,81t> which the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis has
returned to the Tinker field "one
package" group.
Here all the time I've been
under the impression that what
these various agencies were
alter was funds to finance their
worthy activities. Now it would
seem that they are more con-
cerned with maintaining each in-
dividual operation as a separate
entity. That attitude may insure
the future security of a particu-
lar fund and the jobs of its
professional staff. It gives scant
consideration, however, to the
time and effort of volunteers
who raise the money for the
professionals to spend—or to the
limit of the patience and gen-
erosity of the constantly-solicit-
ed gi\cr.
It's confusing, to say the
lleast.—RJD.

"Will the airforce that we now
have—with the money that is now
provided for the next fiscal year—

1 navy and army that will be a suf-
ficient deterrent so that no nation
; would dare attack us?"
1 Twining paused thoughtfully and
called it a “very difficult" ques-
tion. To this Saltonstall retorted
that he had hoped “the answer
I would be yes.”
Twining said: "I feel that for
| this year the answer is yes.”
| Saltonstall pressed him:
"That was not induced by what
I said?”
The general paused and chair-
man Chavez (Democrat, New
Mexico) out in and asked whether
Twining meant that the adminis-
tration’s budget requests were
"adequate.”
"Yes,” Twining replied to that.
Chavez recessed the hearing until
Tuesday, when Twining is to con-
tinue his testimony. The general
left without elaborating on his
statement.
Straw Hat Day In
City Proclaimed
The next time the wind hurtles
your felt hat into the wide blue
yonder, just let it go—Saturday
has been declared Straw Hat day
in El Reno and the old felt is
definitely "old hat.”
Straw Hat day is the time when
city merchants hope you'll haul out
last year's straw, look it over, de-
cide it just doesn’t have that dash,
and shop around for a new one.
Cooperative citizens, interested
as much in a well-ventilated skull
as boosting city business, are like-
ly to take the hint.
