NIXON PUTS HIS FOOT IN IT AGAIN; HIS ATTEMPTED SMEAR BOOMERANGS Have you ever, man or woman, been deceived? If you haven’t, then you surely are more than an exception — you are a rarity, 2 But, of course, you have been deceived. Now, what would you think of anybody who tried to smear you be- Cause youhad been deceived by one of your fellowmen? That is what Nixon tried to do Monday night in New York, in ‘his TV broadcast about Stevenson’s deposition in the Hiss case, and it turned out to be the biggest boom- erang in this campaign. Nixon, in his atiempted smear, failed to say that John Foster Dulles, Eisenhower's foreign-policy advisor, also had made a deposition in the Hiss case. He failed also to point out that two U.S. Supreme Court justices had gone even further than Stevenson and Dulles — the justices testified in Hiss’ behalf. 4 Nixon further said that Stevenson’s deposition had been*voluntary, but Tuesday morning Hiss} New York lawyers said Nixon had spoken falsely, adding that Stev- enson had been requested to make a deposition and, “like a good American citizen,” had made it. But, they said further, had he’not made it, he would have been sub- poenaed. The same thing would have been done in Dulles’ case, had he not aeceded to the request. Also on Tuesday morning, Nixon’s attempted smear was slapped back intovhis face by a group of nationally prominent. lawyers, Republicans ahd. Democrats, who said they “Deplored any effort to criticize or reproach Governor Adlai Stevenson for testifying by deposition in the Hiss case.” Hiss, a cunning sneak, hiding his traitorous scheming behind an ever-ready smile, not only. deceived the justices, Stevenson, Dulles, but also President Roosevelt, President Truman and every other high official in Washington, as well as the public generally, including the sanctimonious Nixon. ' If Nixon wishes to tear away the pall that hangs over him, why doesn’t. he\.do what Stevenson, ‘Sparkman “and Eisenhower have done > give an itemized accounting of his income during the last 10 years? But he has.stub- bornly refused to make public his income-tax statements during that period; stubbornly refuses to make a state- ment as Eisenhower has done. Instead, he said he has “bared” his financial standing to the American people. He has not done any such thing. He has not told them where he got the $31,000 down payments on his Wash- ington and California homes. A writer, in a Miami paper, said Nixon saved it out of his salary. That assertion is equivalent to saying that what Mrs. Nixon said in a Sat- urday Evening Post article is untrue. She said that, during | campaigns, she and Nixon sometimes did not havé.post- age money; that they borrowed an old station wagon™to make the rounds to see workers, and, after Nixon had been elected to the senate, she said this: “We have not done much entertaining in Washing- ton, because.a senator’s salary, which is all-we have, runs out amazingly fast” Voters should consider well that Gabriel Heatter and others have said: “If Eisenhower is elected, there wil! be only a heart beat between Nixon and the presidency.” SLICE OF HAM ANY OF YO GUYS SEEN THE PROFESSOR 'S RABBITS r oi WRR/S——e« Divers Seek ‘Ancient Ship In Ocean LEWES, Del.

I talked with three talented Mynah birds who tried to sell me electrical appliances. I also watched a gripping puppet show and picked up a free sample of “Seru-Tite Serew Anchors.” All was relatively quiet in putty knives, plungers and peat moss but at the next booth a man said I'd be surprised what they’re doing these days with doweling jigs, ratchet tap wrenches, feeler gages, trammel points and repairmen’s | reamers. Early in my tour, I discovered that there is such a thing ap left- handed cutting shears.’ Then I weighed myself on a piéce of alum- inum screening to prove how strong it was and that proved rather dismal. My weight, I mean, not the screening.

Moving from power drills with jan attachment for mixiug whisky sours or cake batter, I met a well- formed blonde coming down the aisle, She wore a string of pearls, } pearl earrings, black turtle-neck sweater, black shorts, high-heeled shoes and agross her chest a sash | indicating her heart belonged to | “Linzer Paint Brushes.” Rather bored with the question, the young lady said she wasn't | supposed to know anything about | brushes. She was just. supposed to ‘walk around. Most hardware men, she* admitted, are .nige but hard- ware wits don’t flee frem the ob+ vious. Item: ‘You won’t give me a | fast brush, will you?” Item: “Can we paint the town red?” Over the roar of power saws, drills and. hammers, a strange whistling drew me to the Westing- house hooth featuring three talking Mynah birds naomed “‘teevee” and “Acee” and “Deecee”’. | “Acee” and “Deecee” occupied a duplex cage with built-in micro- phones. A lady led them through some enchanting dialogue in which | they said they were fine, darling, meowed like cats, whistled like a | man wolf and said goodbye in a male and then, an octave higher, |in a female voice. Pulling a curtain off a third cage, the lady asked “Teevee” | about Westinghouse and the bird | said, “I’m fine, darling, how are | you?”’ The lady said she was fine and how about Westinghouse and | the bird said, after a tense mo- ment, “You can be. sure if it's Westinghouse.” “It took me a whole year to |}teach him the full commercial,” jthe lady said. Another attractive blonde ap- peared in the aisle, wearing a/ |“Weather-All” padded suit from | her neck to her soles. ‘This will | keep you warm in 40 degrees be- | | low zero,” she explained. “They're | using them in ice cream factories.” | In the fishing and hunting de- | |partment someone handed me an | “I like lazy Ike” button.

The passage of a resolution ai thorizing a permit system based on $2 per thousand valuation of build- ing or repairs, and the appoint- ment of a county building inspector are’ two factors paving the way for such a code. The third action of Commis- sioners was the approval of the zoning into business and residen- tial of Stock Island, Commission- ers voted to back up the report of the committee appointed to study Stock Island’s zoning. Ben- jamin Bernstein, of Charles Top- pino and sons asked commission- ers when a building code would be formulated. “We are going to take that up immediately,” Commissioner Joe Allen assured him. The resolution setting up build- ing inspection for the county, states that this work will come under the jurisdiction of the County Tax As- sessor’s office. No building will be | erected or materially altered in the county without a permit. Plans for this work must be filed in the office of the County Building Inspector and must conform to at least one rule laid down Tuesday. That requires five-foot setbacks off the highway and roads and off neighboring property lines. The: building inspector will be paid out of general funds. Tuesday night’s resolution is retroactive to Octo- ber 1, Claude Lowe, county civil de- fense director appeared before Commissioners Tuesday to ask that they allocate $3,000 for auto radio equipment to be matched by an equal amount of Federal funds. Sheriff-Nominee John Spotts- wood had earlier asked that bids be asked for on two patrol cars for the Sheriff's department. This was approved. Lowe then out that the radio equipment these cars could be purchased $3,000 of county funds and 000 of Federal matching funds. ‘Lowe ‘said: that Florida $270,000 in matching funds for civil defense. If not applied for by October goes to other states. Overseas Highway Tolls Hope for early removal lor from the highway was dim a bit by the letter of Alfred Me‘ Keathan, State Road Department chairman, He wrote Earl _ Adams, County Clerk in answer to Com- missioners’ unanimous request that the tolls be lifted by January 1, 1953 or soon thereafter, as folldwas “I want you to know, and to that I feel that the tolls should be lifted as soon as possible as it is should have a free road. “However, there are problems to be worked out that go beyond the State Road Department and freeing of the road must be passed on by the State Board of Adminis- tration.

This is the period when the female driv- er is taking her off-spring to school. It is the time when ‘“‘the hand that rocks the cradle” cre- ates utter havoc amongst the traf- fie Janes of the nation. Criticizing women drivers is a stale subject. Actually I think sta- tistics prove that women are bet- ter drivers than men. Statistics aren’t always truthful though. If man is forced to wrap his car round a coconut tree to avoid hit- ting a lady who signals for a left turn and then goes to the right the man is credited with an accid- ent. Ina way he deserves being given a black mark—no man in his right mind pays any attention to signals given by a woman. He sim- ply patks car and waits to see if she is going forward, backward, right, left, or even straight up in the air. Take Gladys Jackson, for in- stance, She could sue me for sland- er for writing this but she wouldn’t get anything since I’ve already spent last week’s paycheck. The other day I followed Gladys and there was no chance to pass it. Going down Truman was a hectic gear.
