Did hé issue a statement to prove the assertion is a “lie?” Oh, no! That is not the Nixon’ way when he is cornered. He tried to wriggle out of the corner by a spe- cious appeal for sympathy, This is what he said about the charge: “After Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Mitchell failed in their attempt to besmirch my honor and integrity, they are now attempting, throurh the Democratic National Committee, UNIMPRESSED. to attack the honor and integrity of my 75-year-old father, | HAL BOYLE SAYS my mother and my brother.” 5 No newspaper fn all the land, no speaker fn all the land, has'said one word against Nixon’s parents and brother. The public generally did not even know he had a brother. It is to Nixon’s parents’ credit, not their integrity, not their disgrace, to own real estate worth a quarter of a million dollars. Their owning it, is entirely beside the point in the accusation that has been lodged against Nixon. The point is that Nixon, in his so-called accounting, tried to make the American public believe his parents were poor or in moderate financial circumstances when he said he made it a point to pay them the interest “promptly” on $3,500 he had borrowed from them be- cause they needed the money to help them to live. That misinformation was a play for sympathy, and Nixon's now saying untruly that the honor and integrity of his parents and brother are attacked, is a further play for sympathy. Nixon need not shed any crocodile tears about them, for nukody has said a single word against them. Associated Press reporters had an easy time finding Nixon when he blaved “lie” about his parents’ realty holdings, but when they tried to find him to comment on the State Department's exposure of Nixon’s writing the Aidericaiy Hmbasay in Havana in behalf of his friend, Gamblei-Dana Q Shiith, the AP said: “Nixon was hot to bé reached immediately for com- ment,” What comment can he make when the State Depart- ment has his letter and Gambler Smith’s letter that Nixon enclosed with his when he wrote the embassy? Will he ery “lie” again? Will he charge that his and Smith’s let- ters are forgeries? . a The American public should bear in mind that Nixon wrote that letter in August while he was campaigning as a candidate for vice president. And let us not forget this is the same Smith who handled Nixon's $18,000 “expense” account. In March, 1951, Mrs, Nixon filed.on her and Senator Nixon’s behalf a sworn statement in California that their joint property did not éxceed $10,000. In July, four months later, Nixon bought a $41,000 home-in Washing- ton and a $18,000 home in California and made down payments of $31,000 on them, No wonder people all over the country are asking Republican county committees if they can vote for Eisen- hower without voting for Nixon. They CAN'T. A vote for Eisenhower ts a Nixon, vote for SLICE OF HAM By HAL BOYLE MADRID, Spain — Spain has | come up with a curios program | for the problem of inflation which | now bedevils almost every modern | land. After losing its attempt to keep prices in check during the past year, Spain has decided to try hold- ing the fort by granting a series of cash bonuses to workers instead of flat salary increases, This is a compromise worked | out by Generalissimo Francisco | Franco’s advisers, who earlier licked Spain’s black market prob- lem by doing away with bizarre economic experiments that had crippled individual effort here, The stop-gap compromise calls for one or more monthly salary bonusegyto all employes of private firms—bonuses to be paid entirely by the employer. It was adopted after a heated argument between Spain’s labor minister and the minister of commerce. The labor minister said the workers simply could not live on their ‘present income. The com- merce minister contended a gen- ieral pay hike would bring a new wave of inflation. The number of these emergency, one-month salary bonuses to be granted varies with the industry. For example: bank employes, who already get a month’s paid vaca- tion each year, under the new scheme will be paid 17 months salary for the 11 months they work. The ordinary day laborer, paid by the hour, gets nothing extra un- der the new program, He remains Spain’s forgotten man—feeding and clothing himself and family (and told it’s patriotic to have more and more children) on 14 to 18 pesetas a day. That's between 35 and 45 cents a my He is so low on Spain's economic totem pole that he often works | without shoes and his clothing is ragged and tattered.

It | is common for a man in this coun- try, even a government employe, to hold two and even three jobs | if he is fortunate enough to find | that many. It does the day laborer no good to protest at his pittance because | there is plenty of unskilled labor | available. Yet the supply of really skilled labor is so short that Spain must import technicians from oth- | His utter poverty seems less shocking to Juan Lopez—Spain’s common man—than it does to out- side eyes because Juan has had this lot for centuries under every regime. He remembers with yearn- ings now the days of the monarchy, which fell in 1931, because bread price of bread is always more im- Portant than who runs the govern- ment, Spain’s newest Alice in Wonder- land economic experiment, the monthly bonus barrier to further inflation, means as little to Juan Lopez as the outcome of the Ken- tucky Derby. All he feels sure of is that he will still be holding the bag. A PARA.

Authorities believe the murderer of 32 sheep in a week is a grizzly bear because it killed six bucks during one night —something that a black or brown bear would not do, U.S. Government Trapper Romy McCallum found a large track he believes is a grizzly’s. Traps and decoys have so far proved to no avail against the wary bear. When local men went after him at night, the bear disappear- ed. When two sheep were put out as decoys, the bear killed the sheep while rain forced the hunters to seek shelter.

There is no telling which way the Bublie is going to turn. Anybody’s guess is good as to how the election will turn out next Tuesday. One thing we should all face — regardless of whether Ste- venson or Eisenhower wins, there are going to be hard times. ahead and it is up to all of us to pitch in and work out our problems. Our present economic system is like a soap bubble. It is pretty but hardly stable enough to stand the stress and strain of today’s irrational thinking. Consider Government Bonda. . . They haven't been selling too good so interest rates are being upped to encourage more buyers. Who pays for this additional in- terest? The buyers of the bonds through additional taxes. How the ed the real estate field. If a de- pression hits this country in the near future and the government is forced to make good its guaran- tee for thousands and thousands of homes, what is going to happen to the Treasury department? It is a rough situation. If the Democrats had any sense they would all pack their suiteases and take a vacation in Cuba until the mess is straightened out. Someone is going to be tied to the whipping post in the next few years and most likely, that someone will be the party in power at the time our } soap bubble bursts -- whether it i3 the Democrats or the Republicans. In spite of the dirt that has been thrown in this election, Stevenson, Sparkman, Eisenhower, and Nix- on ate all good men. How many of those who berate Nixon for instance, do not have skeletons in their own closet that would make ‘ lot more noise ‘if rattled public- ly? When you go to the polls next week, try to forget the dirty stuff you've heard about the presiden- tial candidates and judge them by the good that you know they have done, And don't forget that there are other men and issues for which you should cast your vote. The “big boys” provide the glamour but many of the smaller elective posts will have a more important bearing on our immediate lives.
