No doubt junior and sissy will encounter some difficulties during their new school year, if indeed they do not encounter them at the beginning of the current term. However, the teachers and administrators who are attempting to drill a bit of information into your sweet things heads have troubles of their own and unless there is an obvious need for a protest, parents would do well to remain in the background and see — at least, for a while — how things work out before they ask for special treatment, special care or special attention for junior. It will also be well to remember that the nation’s schools must bé based upon generally accepted average standards and that special operations cannot be under- taken for you, or any small group, no matter how good the idea may be. It should also be remembered, by par- ents, that their support of the school, its teachers 4nd administrators, is vitally important to the '\appiness ard | satisfaction of their children.

A helping hand for junior, a consistent policy of aidi him and requiring him to do his lessons, will pay lar: ivi- dends for him in future years, even though it r es some of your time today. It is well worth the effort. Whatever your job, there is always someone who v _- do it better. It is beginning to look like World War III might not be inevitable, after all. ‘ The laboring man is often the healthiest, and hap- piest, man in his neighborhood. ' An unintentional error is often stupid but not as stupid as the derision which sometimes greets it. The world would be a better place and more would be accomplished if we stopped talking about other people. It is generally true that the world’s most honored individuals are those who do not lose the common touch, or the simple pleasures in life. The West Germans will have to resist ’a temptation to play a neutral role in the next five or ten years if the Allied Army in Europe is to become effective. Der-vcratie Upsurge May Overpower Republicans In Vote Tomorrow In Far West; Strength Is Seen For California By MORRIE LANDSBERG SACRAMENTO, Calif, w—The big political question in Washing- ton, Oregon, California and Neva- da today is whether an apparent Democratic upsurge will win for the party significant gains at the . “ills tomorrow. ‘ly the voters can decide this s€ er «ce, but Republicans he Democrats are ‘ial strength in this on.

Gemocrats lead nearly 3 to 2 in the total signup—3,266,831 to 2,- 415,249. How deep does the seeming Dem- ocratic trend go? Does it carry enough momentum to crack through Ejisenhower’s admitted personal popularity? Election of 3 U.S. senators and 42 representatives, as well as state officers in f ze of the states, hinges closely on the answer. Washington, with no race for the Senate or Governor, will choose 7 representatives, California, 30; Oregon, 46 and Neveda, 1 The GOP, making a stand on the Eisenhcwer line, hopes to re- tain the three Republican senators, one of them now a temporary ap- Democratic candidates are hit-| ting away at what they term a power “giveaway” program, fall- ing farm subsidies and continued high prices for consumer goods. They contend the people are disen- changed with the GOP record and show more than the normal off- year reaction against the party in power. The GOP message, as exempli- fied by Secretary of the Interior McKay's political tour, is that the powr- partnership plan will help wuild new hydroelectric works; that the agricultural market is stable; that administration policies are good for the West. Other points of conflict, confined to state matters, are far from be- ing overlooked. In California, for instance, proposed state liquor con- trol and demands to “do some- thing” about the smog plaguing Los Angeles are major issues. A gambling expose has created a po- litical furor in Nevada.

Even so, Republicans are wor- tied, especially those lesser state officials who have never had to campaign before. The huge Demo- cratic registration is disturbing to them; so is the gain in Demo- cratic voters since the primary. And this is the first general elec- tion since 1938 that former Gov. Earl Warren’s namé is not on the ballot to help attract Democratic support. James Roosevelt, by all indica- tions, will succeed Yorty as Demo- cratic representative from the 26th District of Los Angeles. Nor will it be a great surprise if Democratic Rep. Robert.

Thief Is Pressed To Make Tracks PASADENA, Calif. — When a burglar threatened to harm Mrs. Eleanor Ann Dunlap’s two small) children unless she surrendered her household money, she let him have it — pow, right in the kisser. Mrs. Duniap didn’t use her fist, but what happened to be handy at the moment — the hot iron she held in her right hand. “I got him right on the button,” she told police. “He yelled and fled with the $4 in small change he had stolen from my purse.” vantage as the Democratic candi- date for the Senate for these rea- sons: a protege of the late Sen. McCarran, he has the support of the McCarran organization; he is better known than the GOP’s Sen. Brown; and Nevada's registration is 3 to 2 Democratic. The gubernatorial campaign is beclouded by a state probe into leged gambling irregularities reaching into the office of Demo- cratic Lt. Gov. Cliff Jones. Jones is not a candidate, but other Demo- | crats fear the investigation will | backfire on former Gov, Vail Pitt-| man, 71, in his race against Re-| publica Gov. Charles Russell. Nevada’s lone representative, Re- publican Clifton Young, is cam- paigning as an Eisenhower sup- porter, while his Democrati¢ oppo- nent, Rep. Walter Baring, is criti-| cal of some of the administration policies, especially on mning.

V. Whitney and Lily Pons. An intense, slender man of 48, feels the American fashion industry lacks prestige because it spends too much money trying to please people of average taste, “That makes the average person the leader in style,” he said. “This is ridiculous. The middle group destroys taste. It doesn’t create it “Most great changes in taste have come from extravagant peo- ple with powerful original person- alities. “Millicient Rogers is the last person who had any real influence on American taste.” Thirty gowns and coats James designed for the late oil heiress have become part of the perman- ent collection of the Brooklyn Museum. An open admirer of the aristo- | eratic tradition when it comes to matters of style, James feels it takes up to 20 years for peak taste in new fashions to dribble down to the masses, and that’s quite all right with him.

She had more than 5,000 garments. “Unfortunately, members of the court were jealous of her political influence with the emperor. She finally hanged herself.” Naturally, she used a cord of purest silk. No lady of fashion would consider wearing a common rope for her final public appear- ance. Although James sells his adapt- ed dress designs for lower prices, it annoys him when startled bus- bands ask him what makes his original custom creations worth $1,000 to $1,250. “A $1,250 dress is really cheap,” he insisted. “We lose an average of $300 each on these creations.” With James they are a prestige factor. He also custom designs theatrical eostumes and furniture. “America is losing international standing by being content to accept French leadership in the world of fashion,” he said. “The best fashion talent in this country cannot find employment here. The best schools for fashion technology turn out year after year talent trained for invention which can only starve. “That is why you find so may young American fashion designers working for Freneh houses, Only in Paris do they find the freedom to experiment and show their ty.” “She wore it Nixon Poison Scare Believed Work Of Crank | SEATTLE & — An anonymous telephone call, which said poisoned food had -been delivered*to Vice | President Nixon's hotel room here Saturday night, appeared today to have been the work of a crank. Burt C. Cline, Secret Service agent in charge of the Seattle of- fice, said “nothing has turned up so far” in laboratory tests of the food made by a Seattle firm. “But there will be several hours more of testing before we can be certain,” he added. Meantime, the vice president and his party had flown to Denver and Nixon said there he planned to re- vise his nationally telecast address tonight to strike back again at Adlai Stevenson. He listened to Stevenson's New York broadcast address a few minutes after the “poison scare” incident here Sat- ufday night and took notes on it.
