IKE SEEKS ECONOMY _ General Dwight D. Eisenhower is eager to eliminate waste and general extravagance in the Federal govern- ment and there are hints that this theme will bevone of the main ones in the 83rd Congress opening in January. Ike reportedly wants the budget balanced, which in it- self may be a tall order. However, there, are plenty of Republican Congressmen and Penaiore who think it can be done, One.of the House members who. attended the Eisen- hower conference told friends the emphasis in the New ress would be to save the taxpayer’s money. He was 1ul about ending some taxes or lowering them, if y could not be ended. In fact, he expressed a_ belief . a lowering of taxes might actually stimulate tax col- General Eisenhower is known to favor a program { to European members of the North Atlantic y Organization and to other countries who are wag- a constant fight against the threat of communism. i.ow much of the aid program which has been carried on by Democratic administrations he will cut remains to be séen, although there is growing demand that all econo- mic aid be cut-even from some Democrats. His congress- ional leaders in the House, and probably in the Senate, ere certain to favor foreign aid slashes, in that some of them have already been favoring such slashes for two or three years. f the new administration can effect sizable cuts in both the foreign aid program and the Defense Depart- ment appropriation--which has been indicated by recent cutbacks in tank and truck production, and by other fact- ors-- then the major headache involved in the effort for a balanced budget might have been eliminated. Defense expenditures total well over 50 billions, and foreign aid has been averaging around 7 billions a year. Thus these tWo items aecount for over 60 billions in a budget which totals only some fifteen or eighteen billions more, for all other expenses-approximately. The cuts made in these two categories, then, are all-important ones-where the greatest potential savings lie. The man who has never needed financial assistance, because of a large inheritance, rarely understands the needs of the others, SLICE OF HAM HAM _ McCarty Administration Is Taft Assures At Work In Tallahassee Now Agreement On TALLAHASSEE (®— Gov. Dan McCarty set about putting his ad- ministration to work Wednesday. He called the caninet of veteran independent constitutional officers to an informal session. He is chairman of the various cabinet boards, but the only newcomer. His top administrative agencies started work, too. The State Road Board, faced with an eight million dollar cash deficit, scheduled a meeting that was expected to bring a retrench- ment move designed to balance the books as quickly as possible. New Chairman Richard H. Simp- son indicated the first cut may be in the number and use of the road department’s:big fleet of au- tomobiles. Some jobholders might also be taken off the payroll. The Road Board had before it the task of selecting a secretary, chief engineer and chief attorney. Sam P. Turnbull was expected to stay on as engineer. He is a ca- reer man in the department. Secretary Ralph Hartsfield, an- other career man, might not keep that job but it was indicated an- other high-ranking position would be available to him. James T. Vocelle, a veteran in top positions under governors Hol- land and Galdwell, was ready to take over chairmanship of the big Industrial Commission. He is the public representative on the board and full-time admin- istrative chief of the agency. Mc- Carty was expected to name the industry and labor members of the commission soon. The Racing Commission organ- ized a couple of hours after Mc- Carty was inaugurated Tuesday and called its first full meeting for Jan. 15 at Tampa. The Commission elected Dr. Curtis Haggard, Miami, chairman and J. Wesley Fly, Orlando, sec- retary. That was no surprise since Gov. McCarty announced at the outset they were his choices for the positions. It hired Walter E. Dence, Mi- ami, as attorney; Ark L. Ervin, Miami, as steward for Hialeah, Tropical and Gulfstream Parks; and John V. Pons, Jacksonville, as steward at Sunshine Park. Gov. McCarty’s pledge of clean government for the good of Flor- jida’s tourists as well as its resi- dents and his pledge of no new taxes brought favorable comments from legislators here for the in- auguration. He didn’t go into details on his program, but most senators and representatives said they what he did say. He will submit specific recommendations to the Legislature when it meets in April.

These were the main points gathered by visiting fashion editors in a crammed afternoon schedule on the second day of their week of concentrated seminars of spring styles. Four major showings, spaced an hour apart, included: Monte-Sano and Pruzan (high style suits and coats); Claire McCardell of Town- ley (college girl casuals); Caro- lyn Schnurer (beach and play clothes); and Ceil Chapman (even- ing clothes for glamor girls). Monte-Sano stresses the vertical coat with “abundarit top” in ta- pered silhouette and sumptuous fabrics. Suits are slim but femin- ine, introducing such fabrics as “worsted taffeta,” chiffon-weight tweed and wool pique. White is the big news for coats, in both nubbed and fleecy fabrics and smooth pique weaves. Claire McCardell, high priestess of the ‘“thrown-together” look, shows imaginative use of colors and fabrics in the careless kind of dresses and suits beloved by her fans. The pie-cut neckline, the “easy middle” and the string-bean silhouette are highlights, along with her nightshirt coat and gypsy colors. Carolyn Schnurer has come back from South Africa with a series of ‘‘gold coast” sun-and-play fash- ions that are colorful and bound for high favor with the young-in- heart. Ceil Chapman shows her usual collection of breath-taking evening gowns, in tender colors and dia- phanous fabrics, destined to make any wallflower into a belle of the ball. This season she adds some |draped sheaths to her preferred {frothy bouffant skirts, puts straw }embroidery on organdie and pre- sents the shepherdess silhouette in her more elaborate evening gowns An all-over jewel - embroidered |white jersey evening coat is a over a draped white jersey sheath. | |NEW CARDINALS TO ROME FOR CONSISTORY | | LOS ANGELES w—Archbishop | J.

Taft (R-Ohio) said that he and Rep. McConnell (R-Pa) have agreed on “wide open” hearings on proposals to amend ‘ne Taft-Hartley Act. Taft told reporters he expects these hearings to begin simultan- eously in the Senate and House about Feb. 1, with all interested parties invited to air their views. McConnell is the new chairman of the House Labor Committee and Taft indicated he will take over chairmanship of the Senate group, in addition to his new du- ties as Senate Republican floor leader. This decision might involve Taft's quitting the tax-writing Sen- ate Finance Committee if he seeks a place on the foreign relations group, as friends have said he may do. The Ohio senator said it is his. HAL BOYLE SAYS NEW YORK (—One of the big problems of this wonder-filled mod- ern world is to keep from yawning while you are being entertained: That is the pitiful plight of a pampered people in a time of plenty—too many are being enter- tained into boredoza. They become depressed while trying to enjoy themselves. No previous age in history ever surrounded itself with more gad- gets designed to give fun, pleasure or relief from care. Yet how often do you hear someone say: “I feel restless—nothing to do.” There are, of course, plenty of things to do. Such a person simply hasn’t found them. He is just weary of going to parties to see people he doesn’t want to meet. He is sick of listening to thrilling ra- dio programs that don’t thrill him, tired of holding up the dull book someone told him you-simply-can’t- lay-down. He is fatigued with the dull pa- rade of nonsensical murder mys- teries and repetitious comedians on his television screen. And he thinks the penalty of having to sit through another hackneyed plot at the mov- ies is too much to pay just for a chance to eat a sack of popcorn in comfort. The real trouble is he has be- come too much a victim of herd forms of entertainment—the mass quest for fun sitting down as a spectator watching somebody else do something. This is hard on his eyes, his ears, and his posture. It is also against the animal part of his na- ture. A dog gets bored sitting in- doors watching the antics of peo- ple. So does a human being. But while a dog will fall asleep rather than watch a dull television pro- gram, a man has less wisdom. He will sit and stare at it, getting more and more restless and exas- perated, until his eyeballs ache. When he does go to bed, he finds it hard.to go to sleep. Why? Be- cause, instead of being entertained, he has been annoyed. He is an- noyed because he knows he has wasted his time, and time is his greatest treasure, a thing all men know in their hearts. Real entertainment —— and all great art—should first of all be exhilarating, then relaxing. But poor entertainment bas the oppo- site effect. It first depresses you, then leaves you tense with dissat- ‘isfaction. The funny’thing about fun is that ‘it's best when it is spontaneous, present intention to.introduce only }’> what he called- noncontroversial amendments to the national labor law he helped write in 1947, He said he will leave to others the sponsorship of changes which might bring a floor fight. Although Taft did not specify what changes he has in mind, he already bas had drafted amend- ments under which (1) company officials would be required to take the non-Communist oath if they wished to use the law, as union officials now must do, and (2) strikers who have been replaced in their jobs would be permitted to vote in representation elections. Both these changes in the law have been advocated by President- elect Eisenhower. Taft also may propose amend- ments to cure some loopholes in the secondary boycott section of the law, as well as to alter the legal definition of foremen and to clarify the relationship of the gen- eral counsel with the National La- bor Relations Board. He sponsored similar changes which two years ago passed the Senate but died in the House. Taft said he had talked with {the AFL, about prospective chang. es in the law but had not heard | directly from any of the higher officials of the CIO. | “We will have wide open hear- |ings,” Taft said. “Any responsible person can come in and say what he wants changed in the act. “I believe that we and the House | members will come up with sub- | | stantially the same bill, although }it probably will vary in individual details, and that some amend- | ments to the act will be passed.” DIVORCED COUPLE ;CONTINUES BATTLES SEATTLE \* — Goldie Z.

At any rate, that is what “This Rock of Ours” intends to do — except for one thing. It is a relief - speaking for my- self of course -- to see Governor Warren out of office. True enough, he did a lot for Monroe County but this was principally because of the vim and vigor with which Rep. Bernie Papy pushez hrm. Other counties suffered because Monroe County received benefits. For the life of me, perhaps it is false pride, I don’t want to benefit at the ex- pense of another man. Government should be based on the principle of “share, and share alike’ ac- cording to population.
