Congressman should know. Mailed in plain wrapper. Your money back if not entirely satisfied. I’m talking about the books you see advertised in the girlie mag azines most barbers provide tor the customers. Lurid is the word for the ads, though I understand the books themselves usually are sober treatises on sex by eminently respectable M.D.’s. Rep. Ezekiel C. Gathings With all respect to madame Congressman, replied Scheer. that was just one woman’s opinion. The statesmen agreed that it was frightful for the publisher to make available books on sexology to children. He replied that he took pains to solicit only those over 21. He added that he’d sold 40.000 such tomes to doctors and 5,000 to clergymen, who presumably learned many thing they needed to know. The Congressmen retorted that children could buy such books. An elderly gentleman, who'd been sitting quietly beside the publisher, jumped up, identified himself as Robert H. McNeill. New York at torney. and said the Congressmen eemed to have the wrong idea about his client’s books. He said some other respectable people thought they were fine. “Like the late Dr Royal Cope land, member of Congress . from New York," added McNeill. “Here’s a letter of endorsement from him." He plunged into his brief case and extracted other letters of praise from the State Board of Juvenile Research of Columbus. Ohio; the ex-chairman of the Board of Public Welfare of the District of Columbia; the Kentucky State .Board of Health; and the Superintendent of High Schools of Blue Island, 111. Most of these a greed that Scheer’s books on what people should know were exactly that. McNeill said he had more letters if the statesmen were interested. “You ever sell patent medicine?" demanded Rep. Gathings. McNeill said he'd been a lawyer for 50 years! Rep. Gathings said he meant he used to work in a drugstore, himself, and endorse ments were easy to get. Nobody asked my opinion, but I'd say pub lisher Scheer won this round. Next time’ I pet a haircut I fully expect to see a picture of his statue in the latest, issue of the barber’s pic ture book. These Days £ckcUkij THE CABINET The President's Cabinet is not mentioned in the Constitution. George Washington gathered it to gether among his chief administra tive oilicers oecause he needed ad vice ana counsel. In it he had such contradictory personalities as Al exander Hamilton and Thomas Jerierson, federalist and Demo crat. From the formation of the Cab inet, particularly of a new Presi dent, can be drawn many inferences if not conclusions. Without any way rellecting on the personalities of General Eisenhower s Cabinet, this article will discuss political rela tionships arising from the Cabinet appointments. It must be recognized that unity within the Republican Party de pends upon the willingness of the Dewey faction and the Taft taction to cooperate with the business men who are represented by General Lucius Clay. Thus, a committee to screen recommendations for ap pointments, consisting of General Lucius Clay, Herbert Brownell, Jr. and Thomas E. Coleman, repre senting the business men, Dewey and Taft. Taft was asked to give General Eisenhower a list of recommenda tions. Only two on his list were chosen: John Foster Dulles, Sec retary of State, and Ezra Taft Benson, Secretary of Agriculture. Dulles, however, was also recom mended by Dewey, and Benson oy- Eisenhower's brother, Milton. Dulles has, since 1948, placed himself out side of faction; Benson Jias de finitely been for Taft. While George M. Humphrey, the Secretary of the Treasury, comes from Ohio and has been a Taft supporter, he was not on the Senator's list and Taft did not recommended him. He definitely comes out of the business group. This Cabinet has no geograpnic pattern that is understandable po litically. Maybe, geography was given no thought. New York and Michigan have been given a prep onderance of offices. Dulles, Brown ell, Wilson, and Summerfield come from these two states. Wilson and Summerfield are General Motors men, which is financially as much New York as Detroit. George M. Humphrey lives in Cleveland, Ohio, but his business is scattered and is as much Pitts burgh as Cleveland, if not more so. While Humphrey has always been a supporter of Senator Taft, he in no way represents the Senator or the Ohio Republican organization. Taft had recommended Senator Harry Byrd for the Treasury, and while it has been given out that Byrd would not accept. I am in formed that the office was never offered to Byrd. Rather, when Senators Taft and Bridges and Congressman Joe Martin spoke of Byrd, they were told that a com mitment had already been made, but no name was mentioned. Martin P. Durkin, the Secretary of Labor, cannot be accredited to Illinois. Neither Senator Everett Dirksen nor the Illinois Republican organization proposed his name, nor were they consulted. Actually, he hiu been their enemy. Nor were any of the Democrats who supported Eisenhower consulted. He is a vic tory for the American Federation of Labor over both the Republican ' Party and the Southern Democrats. From a strictly political stand : point, the Middle West has been ! given no distinct representation on 1 the Cabinet, with the possible ex : ception of Arthur Summerfield, who is entitled to the Postmaster-Gen-- > eralship anyhow by tradition be -1 cause he was chairman of the Re • publican National Committee. , The Far West has done well. Those states got Interior, Douglas i McKay, and Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson. To them is added the Vice ; President, Richard Nixon. The appointment of Sinclair i Weeks, as Secretary of Commerce. will please New England. He, and l his father before him, have been > staunch Republicans with a record of excellent service for the party. However, the appointment of l Sherman Adams, as Chief-of-Staff , to the President, with an ex-officio ' seat in the Cabinet, raises a po ! litical issue of prime magnitude. : Senator Styles Bridges is one of [ the* three senior Republican Sen ators. He has the choice of being ■ President Pro Tern. Majority Lea > der and chairman of the Appropri ’ ations Committee. At his option, he > can hold any one or all of these f jobs because they are his by sen . iority and service. ; However, Senator Bridges will r have to run in the New Hampshire primaries in 1954 and up to now. 5 his opponent has been Governor . Sherman Adams. The latter’s ’ elevation by General Eisenhower politically implies a Presidential ■ preference for Adams over Bridges, I which means a fight. A combina i tion of Bridges and Taft could in* • voive the President in tough sled r ding in Congress. The situation ■ could be resolved' by Adams with ; drawing from the Senatorial race. ; The Southern Democrats, who i left their party to support Eisen . hower, have no representation in tire Cabinet. fID DAILY RECORD, DUNN, 11. tt MISTER BREGER ' 2 -'7/y Copr K.ng Ffiiurcs s>nd.cj»c.

General Ei senhower, who worked with and under Franklin Roosevelt all dur ing World War 11, is taking a leaf or two from FDR's book. Roosevelt not only got away Oh a cruiser or yacht three or four times a year, but usually took mem bers of the Cabinet with him. It gave him a chance botli to rest and consider long-range problems. Eisenhower also plans frequent rests from the wear and tear of office grind. While at NATO in Paris he tried to spend at least part of every afternoon on the golf course. This, and a fairly rigid diet, kept him in good shape. Meanwhile, the present mid - Pacific cruiser conferences, accord ing to close advisers, have four objectives: 1. A DECISION ON KOREA has to be formulated almost right away. Even though Eisenhower isn’t pres ident yet, his general views will be honored by the Truman adminis tration. And if there is to be any kind of offensive next spring, the supply lines have to start rolling almost immediately. 2. GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE CABINET Most of his Cabinet Ike has met only once or twice. They need lo get acquainted. Some domestic problems, such as taxes and budget, will be discuss ed; also Secretary-to-be of the In terior Douglas McKay is in charge of the Pacific Islands. That’s one reason he was invited. 3. PLAN SOME SPEECHES AND PREPARE FOR SOME TV AP PEARANCES This was the main reason C. D. Jackson of Fortune magazine, head of the campaign speech-writers, and Emmett Hughes, another speech-writer, were sent for. Eisenhower will have to make Some TV and radio statements shortly after his arrival back in the U. S.: also has major speeches to think about for the inauguration period. 4. MAJOR FOREIGN POLICY It’s sometimes easier to formulate long range policy when you are away from it. And Eisenhower now has a chance to debate with his new Secretary of State the most important part of our entire foreign policy the fact that the heart of the Korean War, as the heart of most of our troubles, lies in Mos cow. TAFT'S THROAT After Senator Taft issued his historic blast against Gen. Eisen hower’s appointment of Martin Durkin as Secretary of Labor, Sen ator Wayne Morse, Oregon’s in dependent Republican, happened to meet Mark Trice, GOP Secretary of the Senate. “Would you like me to recom mend a good political divorce law CUTKS i ,«madam soz/e 'mbmx. king rur.us iynwcatk. *o*u> t**n ©.; "Don't forget... I want enough material for lace/ curtains.” yer?” wisecracked Morse, who broke with Eisenhower over the Morning side Heights “marriage" with Taft. Trice, who has been a strong Taft supporter, shook his head ruefully. "Our boy,“ he said, “certainly cut his own throat.” ADLAI AND HARRY Here are some of the things that happened between President Tru man and Governor Stevenson during their confidential strategy meeting last week. Actually one of the most impor tant things occurred not at the White House but between a group of Southern senators who are work ing backstage to take the Demo cratic party away from Stevenson and run it from the Senate. To this end, they have been telephoning various Democn\ic leaders around the country friendly to Sen. Richard Russell to urge him as national leader. However, they don't want to start a full - fledged campaign until after Sen. Lyndon Johnson is made Senate leader, because they fear Northern Democrats would balk at a Texan for Senate leader, if they knew Russell, a Georgian, was being groomed as national leader. Stevenson had heard of the Southern strategy before he went to the White House, and talked it over with Truman. Here are some of the things they decided; 1. Stevenson, not Truman is to be the party’s leader as far as the National Committee is concerned. This was tacit recognition of the fact that Truman has a lot of ill will in the South. 2. Stevenson told Truman he would come back to Washington af ter Congress reconvenes and visit with Democrats on Capitol Hill. He wants to get on personal terms with Senators and Congressmen. What they do in the next four years will be all-important to the Dem ocratic party, Stevenson believs, and he wants to have a hand in it. O’MAHONEY FOR CHAIRMAN 3. Stevenson is anxious to find a national chairman who can bridge any gap between northern and southern Democratic Senators, and believes Sen. Joe O’Mahoney of Wyoming is the most likely choice. Sen. Bill Fulbright of Arkansas has already sounded out O’Mahoney about taking the job, and he seems interested. 4. Stevenson told the President that he wants to keep Steve Mit chell as National Chairman for the time being in recognition of his hard work during the campaign. He said it was only fair to give Mitchell a chance to prove him self; also he, Stevenson, felt per sonally responsible for the cam paign deficit and wanted Mitchell Walter WlnetaeD York Tip to the Staffers on the late, unlamented The Compass paper, which attacked anti-Reds (like us) and came out for everything Pink, Cerise and bloody Red: Corliss La mont (who says he is not and never was any Commy) is responsible for all its debts, severance pay, etc. N.

For this reason, he said he had vetoed any idea of regular television reports to the nation and he would not make political speeches, unless major issues came up. If any Democratic candidates invited him to speak during the 1954 Con gressional race, however, he said he would accept, though not seek, such invitations.

NOTE THEIR SCORES ON THE INTELLIGENCE TESTS I GAVE THEM AT NORTHWEST ERN UNIVERSITY. THEY ARE THE REAL UNDER DOGS IN CONFLICTS WITH CRIMINALS FOR THEY STAND OUT IN PLAIN SIGHT, INSTEAD OF LURKING IN ALLEYS AND SHOOTING WITHOUT WARNING, AS THE CROOKS DO. SO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO REGARD PO LICEMEN AS THEIR FRIENDS. Case F-348: Birk Harl, aged a bout 30, is a talented police captain at Evansville, Indiana. “Dr. Crane, we'd like to have you address our Indiana Fraternal Order of Police at our annual banquet session,” he graciously invited me. “You may talk on any topic you wish. Bring Mis. Crane along, too, for this is a meeting for wives as well as police officers.” POLICE FACTS In previous years I had taught police officers at our Northwestern University Traffic Institute. Each year, moreover, I gave them the same adult Intelligence Test which I used on my senior students in the Liberal Arts college at Northwestern University. How do you suppose the police rated in their I. Q.? Well, they made a higher average score than any college class I had had in a bout 20 years of university teach ing. For modern policemen are smart men. And they are versatile, too. since the police must possess a practical knowledge of law, as well as of medicine and first aid. In emergencies, they often de liver babies and look after serious accident cases. Furthermore, they need to be talented Applied Psychologists. One of the most fitting pictures of the new attitude toward policemen can be seen at school intersections. Youngsters now compete with each other to grasp the hand of the officer. They cling to his trouser legs. Thus, you may see one genial policeman with a flock of young sters hanging on to him as he herds them across the street. They love him. _ u / Tfaukfitfih If« r *^Tor NEWLYWEDS, EACH MARRIED FOR SECOND TIME, SCRAP OVER TREATMENT OF WIFE’S CHILD BY FORMER UNION DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am 24 and recently married to Hal, 31. He is a wonderful husband and I love him dearly. This is second mar riage for both of us. He has all the qualities I thought I saw in my first husband, who disillusioned me. The problem is Hal’s resentment of my 4-year-old daughter Gail, a feeling he readily admits. He is unable to like any children, he says, which seems odd, as he has a fine character with his friends. He is frankly jealous of my show ing Gail any affection, even a motherly kiss occasionally, and says she tries to divert my atten tion from him. He frequently scolds , her rudely, and I can see his re sentment rising as he corrects her nearly always unnecessarily. He also tries to push her into the background when we three are to gether. When I feel that Hal is being unfair with Gail naturally I rise to her defense, which causes scrap ping. He tries sincerely to curb himself, for my sake, but soon he is sharp again. He claims I spoil her because she is “an only child.” But everyone says she is unusually polite and well behaved for her age, so I don’t think she is parti cularly spoiled. And Hal is unable to have children something I am powerless to remedy. Gail is a friendly child and quite perceptive, who resented Hal at first, too, as if unable to share my love with another. This may be*due to her own father’s attitude as he rejects her love, doesn’t visit her and has dropped the relationship. Using psychology, I have taught her to love and respect Hal as her new father but I am unable to change his attitude toward her. When she is around, his usually good mood deserts him and he is' irate, sarcastic and ugly. He says our love is in jeopardy, due to her, and I can feel the barrier growing in her presence. I feel utterly de feated and want your advice, which we both value highly. R. R ■ MAN BLAMES WRONG PARTY DEAR R. R.: If Hal is unable to tolerate children, he had no bus iness marrying you, who are a mother with an inalienable right and duty to love and cherish your minor-age daughter, and generally treat- her as an important person in your scheihe of things. And if he is alteisic to small fry, he cannot hold your 4-year-old child at fault for that. K is his Midsyn cracy, his neurosis, his unfitness for normal family interchange, that poses the problem. Thue it doesn't NEW VIEW OF POLICE And that’s as it should be. For the policemen are the best friends of children. They are also the staunch defenders of law abiding citizens. They stand between prop erty holders and vandals or com munists. Alas, many good citizens subcon sciously regard the criminal as the under dog. Don’t make this tragic mistake. The policeman is the real under dog. For he bravely stands out in his uniform, in plain sight, to pro tect good citizens. Meanwhile, the criminal skulks in dark alleys and shoots without warning. But policemen warn before they shoot! So the criminals are worse than rattlesnakes for they shoot from the dark and without any warning! Almost every day brave police men are killed in defending good citizens and their children. Mem orial Day (May 30th) should thus remind you of this debt we owe to valiant policemen, as well as to the defenders of our country on foreign shores. GLORIFIED FATHERS Policemen serve much as glorified fathers to look after school chil dren. But many adults who grew up in awe and tear of an old-fash ioned domineering father, thus continue this fear of the modern policeman. That is wrong. Good citizens should only fear the criminal and be grateful to the policemen in uniform who boldly stand out in plain sight as targets for the evil venom of crim inals. Remember, policemen don’t make the laws! We voters, via our rep resentatives, have made the laws of our city or state. And we voters then elect the judges to enforce those laws. The poor policeman is simply the officer who goes forth to arrest the violators of the laws which we have enacted. He simply tries to bring in the suspected culprits. So give your talented police of ficer a break. Go out of your way to help instead of hinder them. They are the first line of our local defense. make bat-sense for him to be snap ping and snarling at Gail for (jeing a co-claimant to your ihterest. Hal is the Johnnie-Come-Lately, the interloper (if any) in the three way relationship. As such, and as a man of 31, with theoretically adult reasoning powers, it is his responsibility, not the child’s, to set the pace of harmonious arbi tration, in resolving their con flicting drives for your attention. Unfortunately for the marriage, and alas for your daughter, Hal is re ducing himself to the level of school yard bully, in dealing with Gail. MAN RESENTS “GIVER” ROLE Hal calls Gail spoiled, whereas otherr say she seems unusually po lite and well-behaved for her age— which suggests that he has her cowed. As for your report that you’ve taught her to love and respect him (using psychology), how confused you get? How could she, and why should she, love and respect a stepfather so unkind and unfair? And if she thinks he is an admirable papa, she has been sold a false concept. She is the victim of a lie that can serve no good. Hal’s mean attitude in the cir cumstances probably stems, un consciously, in large part from re sentment of supporting another man’s child—knowing the other man rejected the task. He is a shamed to face or reveal the true nature of his gripe—hence cam ouflages it by rasping at Gail’s behavior. His so-called love of you is a mockery of the word; it is merely sexual possessiveness, if he cannot share your concern for the child’s welfare and bear her pre sence decently. In my • opinion it's doubtful whether the marriage can last. There is little evidence that Hal can or will rise to - the require ments of rational fatherhood. I can only hope that these remarks may waken him to the of improving his own behavior. If he is to make a go of any rela • tionship. M. H.
