The present royal yacht was built for Queen Victoria, and has lain for years in Portsmouth harbor, condemned as “unseaworthy” by the Admirality. The new royal yacht will be a four thousand ton, twenty-one-knot, fifty-five beam craft. It will cost about three million dollars and will be convertible to a hospital ship in time of war. Britain has always provided its rulers with adequate seagoing transportation but in recent years this tradition has been neglected. King George VI was the first ruling monarch in three centuries who did not own a seagoing yacht. Charles II had twenty-six yachts. Queen Victoria had eight built during her sixty-four year reign. In Eng- land a royal yacht is not considered a luxury but a neces- sity. And since the Duke of Edinburgh served with the Royal Navy in the last war as a Lt. Commander, in |eom- mand of the frigate Magpie, it is altogether fitting that the Royal couple enjoy a royal yacht — at least that is how the British Conservative Government feels about it, Sucker bait: The offer of something for nothing. Americanism: Getting the “mostest” for the “least- est.” If you don’t believe anything, there’s no law to make you believe it. It’s just as easy to fill your mind with something worthwhile as with rancid humor, The prices of some things are dropping, say the eco- nomists, but the housewives would like to know where. » Some local residents never realize what a fine place they live in — until they go away from home and try life in another place. The more time you spend with your children, the better they will be trained and broadened. The less time you take with their development, the more you are likely to be surprised in future years, Some men need public office to gain honors and re- spect among their fellow men. The candidate who al- ready has both, and who has already earned financial] se- curity, who enters politics, is sacrificing something.

He in- sisted that we “Exact certain reforms that will assure us that we are getting values from our be demobilized beeause of certain fears, so spoke Yon, Speaking of Korea, Yon said that at one time United Nations forces could have won a complete vietery but that due to a fear of Russia in Washington such a thing was not allowed to happen. “We must be prepared by all working together” Colonel Yon told his listeners. He spoke in favor of a Universal Military Training plan and stated his belief that, UMT would be great help in establishing a complete unity in our country, Talking to a full house, Yon discussed the need for strength and freedom plus unity from the community level threugh Congress. A number of times personal experiences were related of his eontaet with Admiral Halsey as examples of what could be done when strength and unity are com- bined. Telling his audience that a great deal has been accomplished despite fear and incompetence, Yon earnestly pleaded for eooperation of the people so that all might know a unity of spirit. There is only one way to deal with Communism, according to the Colonel and that is by using what he termed, “Iron diplomacy.” Odham Says McCarty May Get Embarrassed On Pledge Not, To Raise Taxes By MALCOLM B. JOHNSON MIAMI (#—Brailey Odham says Dan McCarty’s ironclad pledge against new taxes might get him into an embarrassing spot if he should be elected governor of Flor- ida, While expressing his own desire to avoid further taxation, the San- ford candidate said: “Any man who pledges himself against one dime of new taxes is going to find himself in the same fix Fuller Warren was on the sales tax.” McCarty has said he will use every power the governor has, which inelydes the veto, to block imposition of any new tax. He claims Odham hasn't taken a posi- tive stand against taxes. Odham said he hoped te avoid new taxes by savings from elimi- nation of waste, central purchas- ing, consolidation of tax collection agencies and other economy meas- ures but if they aren't adopted some new revenue might be needed to take eare of schools, teacher salary raises and other neces: expenss of government. He has censistently advocated raising the state's tax on dog race track income, MeCarty has contended his pro- gram fer cutting out waste, plus balances on hand and inereasing revenues from expanding present tax sources should give the state | enough to operate and raise teach- ers’ pay. Warren campaigned im 1948 on a pledge to veto a general sales tax. His own program of spot taxes was rejected by the Legislature, however, and he accepted what! he calls a “limited sales tax” to provide funds necessary to balance the budget. Ogham replied in speeches along the Southeast Florida Caast and during a 6hour radjo talkathog here to McCarty’s claim that Od- ham didn't vote against the sales tax bill more than 50 times. He said he voted against the measure when it was passed in the House, but dida’t “stay for the burial of the people's gevern- ment” during the last two days of the special sesston when the House gave final, formal approval to a House-Senate compromise plan. He also responded vigorously to | McCarty’s statement that Odham hadn't been able to get along with fellow members when he w in the Legislature and couldat be | He addec On Floridians AL BOYLE SAYS By HAL BOYL® NEW YORK (#—Let's face it, men. The potential danger of tele- vision isn’t its effect on children. It's what it does to wives. The truth is that television is the greatest wife educator since the invention of matrimony itself. I haven't heard of a bride insisting on taking her TV set on her honey- moon. But mark my word. It will happen. Most men secretly believe that all the average wife really knows about the world is what her hus. band bothers to tell her — or what her womanly intuition prods her into suspecting. Television has changed all that A turn of the dials brings all kinds af strange outside knowledge to the eyes and ears of the housewife. It makes her a close spectator of the problems of that part of the uni verse she doesn't have to dust her self. I have seen it happen in my own home, and does it leave me uneasy? It does. We bought a video set some months ago and nicknamed it “Lit tle Miss Cyclops” because of the single big eye in its head first my wife, Frances jit, and I had t rain | sweeping it out every v \suspect she was jealous of it But today?

She asks Little Miss Cyclops. mother-inglaw around the place. I never did claim to know the answers to everything, but Little Miss Cydlops does — or pretends to. And so my husbandly authority | is breaking down. Take politics. The last political remark I remember my wife mak- ing was in 1939, when she said: “When this Hitler goes into a country, what does he do — take | what he wants of it and let the jrest of it go?’ Well, naturally, my friends and I treasured this utterance with eon- siderable hilarity for many years. But now? Frances listens to ev- ery panel program with beagle eagerness, and calls every presi- \dential candidate by his first name. If I make any offhand ob- servation on a current issue, she replies witheringly: | “Why, Rover, that isn't what Es- |tes said last Sunday. Neither did Bob the week before. You must be | wrong. Don’t you keep up with |what is going on any more?” She has even gone into scientific |research. She keeps five different | kinds of cigarettes handy, and | smokes one out of each pack every day “T am going to give thm all a 30-day test, and make up my own {mind which is the mildest,” she says. | But what worries me most is the fact she is getting to be a fan of the crime programs Little Miss | Cyclops dishes up in those evening | rogues’ gallery menus.
