We urge that action be taken at the begin- ning of the 83rd Congress to im- prove congressiona) procedures so that majority rule prevails and decisions can be made after rea- sonable debate without being blocked by a minority in either house.” Republican—“‘We believe that it is the primary responsibility of each state to order and control its own domestic institutions, and this power, reserved to the states, | is essential to the maintenance of our federal republic. However, we believe hat the federal govern- ment should take supplemental ac- tion within its constitutional juris- dicion to oppose discrimination against race, religion or national origin. . . We will prove our good faith by . .. enacting federal legis- lation to further just and equitable treatment in the area of discrim- inatory employment practices. Federal action should not dupli- cate state efforts tv end such prac- tices; should not set up another huge bureaucracy.” Foreign Policy Democratic—‘‘We pledge our un- remitting efforts to avert another World War. . . We will continue our efforts to strengthen the Unit- ed Nations. . . We reject the ridic- ulous notion of those who would have the United States face the aggressors~ alone.” Republican—‘‘The present ad- ministration, in seven years, has Gquandered the unprecedented power and prestige which were ours at the close of World War Two. . . We shall encourage and aid the development of collective Security forces. . . We shall sup- port the United Nations. . .

We reject the defeatist view of those who Bay we cannot afford the expense and effort necessary to defend our- pelves.” Republicans—‘‘We should devel- op with utmost speed a force in being, as distinguished from paper Plans, of such power as to deter sudden attack or promptly and decisively defeat it. This defense against sudden attack requires the quickest possible development of +. air power and the simultane- ous readiness of co-ordinated air, land and sea forces.” Leber: Democratic—‘‘We strongly advo- cate the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. . .

I thought your readers might be interested in hearing just how it affected folks here; about ninety miles from the cen- ter. We were awakened just before five a.m. Monday. This one was much more severe than the one experienced on Christmas Day, in 1951. I hadn’t been able to sleep for some unknown reason, call it premonition if you like. After having a glass of milk, I had gazed across the street at a huge palm tree, thinking how still the air seemed; I had just dozed, when the quake began. I jumped straight up in bed and let out a scream. It seemed like a nightmare coming true, as if I had been waiting for just what was happening. My hus- band was trying to get himself to- gether, and get out of his bed — he told me to take it easy as it would be over in a moment. The building was rocking and swaying as I found myself in my husband’s arms under the arch- way, between living room and kitchen. I let out another moan as we stood hanging onto each other, plus the door frame, trying to steady ourselves, The shock lasted about three minutes, gaining in intensity, while our alarm mounted. The walls were moving slightly, the windows rattled terrifically and jwe were in a rolling motion. If should say they weren't! anyone frightened, there would be some- thing sadly lacking in their upper story. I was petrified, so was my husband, though he didn’t admit it until later, then he started to gag — these shocks usually make peo- ple ill, Also unsteady long after the actual moving of the earth has quieted down. We grabbed our robes as soon as possible and made fer the stairs, down one flight for the street. Most of our neighbors were there, or else in the hall way. Folks were walking up and down the street in all sorts of night attire, afraid, no doubt, of a recurring shock. Strange thing about people — we are all aware the safer place is in the home, but everyone has an ir- Tisistable urge to be in the open. Lots of folks put their radios on/| for news, but we were content to just try to relax until morning; the sky was just stating to brighten after we finally returned to our apartment. That, in itself seemed mighty good,. as it would help things considerably in case of any more disturbances. After having lived in Key West for quite some time, I wish to say, here and now, I much prefer hur- ricanes any day of the week, to another of these nerve shattering earth shocks, Do sincerely hope you find my “On the scene” news of interest to your many readers, as well as our many good friends there in ‘Cayo Hueso.” Would you be so kind as to send me word in the event you see fit to publish this. : Sincerely, M.

Tree “Measles” COLUMBUS, Ohio. — ().- There’s really no cause to worry if your silver maple tree looks like it is coming down with the measles, says T. H. Parks, exten- sion entomologist at Ohio State University. “Maple bladder galls” is the correct name for numerous little bumps appearing on silver maple | leaves this spring, he says. The! globular-shaped galls appear on| the upper surface of the leaves | and are green at first. Later they turn red and then almost black. They are caused by microscopic mites. The damage is so small that most authorities question the value of control measures, Parks says.
