He was informed that to have wealth in America, .one must work, and that the people of America generally ‘work for what they have. This reflection was not just one opinion,, but is the collective judgment of groups of Euro- “pean business men who have visited the United States ‘since World War II to learn why U. S. production is so much greater, per man hour, than production anywhere else in the world. It is the ‘willingness of Americans to really work, and to work long hours, if necessary, to get ahead, that sets most of them aside from workers in other countries. ‘It is also, generally known that U. S. industry employs «machinery to a far greater degree than: the industries of ‘other countries. There are always some who are not willing to work “hard, and who will live in some areas, or who are not ‘@ependable and who cannot keep consistently employed. There is a small number who are the victims of fate, and | ‘these deserve sympathy. But the majority of people in the United States who are willing to try Hard enough can ‘usually accumulate at least modest wealth, and that is the 2 difference. EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT REMOVED The news from Cairo, telling of the ouster of Major- ‘General Mohammed Naguib by the ruling military group, is sornewhat disturbing. President Naguib has been very popular with the Egyptain people until recently, when a press campaign was begun against, him. He was accused of being implicated in a plot against Lt. Col. Gamal Nasser. This, and the charge that he was closely linked with a terrorist organization, seeking to force its way through ‘his public support. assassination, undermined much of Former President Naguib has been steadily losing ground to Lt. Col. Nasser for a year. In February of this year, Gen. Naguib and Col. Nasser had an open break, and the ruling military group announced that the Presi- dent had resignéd. Public indignation over this announce- ment was great, and even some members of the military threatened disorder unless the President was restored. Shortly afterwards, Naguib was restored as President, but, in April, he lost the Premiership, which he held in conjunction with the Presidency, to Col. Nasser. Then, last month, the former President was the. ob- ject of a newspaper campaign implicating him in the plot on Col, Nasser’s life. This marked the end of his chances to remain President, and he was officially ousted in the middle of November. BIER} IUIAIL( | EIPNIAI AIGIE! fr UES!

For two years, the President was exempted from pérson attacks by the Democratic leaders. Their broadsides were aimed at that faceless Republican group known as “the administrati And, it wasn’t considered politically itable to assault the citadel of Ei- serhower popularity, Now Democratic heavy guns are being trained on Eisenhower ‘him- self for the first time since his election. The prospeets are that the attacks will grow heavier, rather than diminish, as the 1956 presidential election nears. Paul Butler, newly elected Dem- ocratic national chairman, dis- closed last Sunday the new party approached to the problem of a popular GOP president when he said: “We intend to call to, the attention of the American people President Eisenhower's lack of capacity to govern and to unite the people.” Three days later, Gov.-elect Av- erll Ha! an of Nw York told 7 a Democratic victory dinner audi- nce in Kansas City: ‘‘We’ve got jto quit this business of excluding Nehru Is Free With Advice But Can Give Little Active Aid By HAROLD K. MILKS. NEW DELHI #—Prime Minis- ter Nehru offers his south Asian neighbors political adviee and leadership, but India today lacks spare military power to back up their defense. India has a strong naval force and likely the best air force .east of Cairo and west of Communist China. Its 370,000-man army, test- ed in two world wars, is tops in this part of the world. Yet these combined forces offer no security to south Asia nations with which Nehru has developed political understanding if not com- plete leadership. India has one eye today on rival Pakistan. The other is watching the Red Chinese buildup in Tibet. These two problems are more than enough to keep India’s armed forees occupied at home. India’s army, heart of its mili- tary power, is still organized on a regional basis for internal rather than external security, just as it was in the days of British rule.

Comparative military weakness —despite a heavy defense budget and the strongest armed forces in jthis region—has directed India’s thinking away from power pacts and defenses based on arms.

President Eisenhower from criti- cism of the -unworthy cam) tactics that have been adopted by the Republican party, and that he has condoned.” Harriman said Ei- senhower must be held ‘“respon- sible for the actions of his lieu- party.” Democratic chiefs may have for- gotten it—but they were advised to follow this line of political ac- tion more than a year ago by that gruff old political warhorse former Sen. Tom Connally of Tex- as. Connally was shaking his head even then oyer the “‘we-like-Ike” attitude of the Democrats. He held to the theory that anybody in the opposition party was’ a political enemy and should be treated as such. Party leaders now are swinging around toward the Connally way of thinking. The political reasons are = obvious: For two years, Eisenhower has enjoyed a remarkable freedom from direct attacks by the Demo- crats. Partly, it was because he almost succeeded in creating the illusion that the office of the Presi- dent was above and beyond poli- tics, and that he wasn’t in the ‘ical cockpit himself. But for the most part the Demo- crats held their fire because of Eisenhower’s personal popularity and this being the case — with Democratic help — then he'll be a hard man to unseat, assuming he runs for office again. In reality, the Democrats lassoed themselves politically during the past two years, and now they're maneuvering to free That’s why the honeymoon Eisenhower has gone ph-f-f--t!

From remarks that I have heard on the subject, some people were shocked, others shrugged it off by saying they knew about it all the time. It takes a fearless man to stand up and tell that kind of truth. I stand behind Dr. Campbell as a forthright outstanding citizen in his convietions. It would imagine that it took a lot of courage not:to smooth over his statements after sure from the powers that be that like to 4o Sr behind Some sources stated that it has hurt relations that have taken years to build up. To me, good re- lations that are built on glory hun- gry traditions and secret discre- pancies are not very good rela- tions, Mr, N. C. Hines at a city com- missioner meeting said that he free,” he added. The fact that hasn’t been dis- cussed too much is that nobody has denied the statements. Obscured in all the turmoil is another statement made by Camp- bell that he believed the band go to a state band meet where they would be judged by ability and compared to other bands in the state. “Not being too familiar with “who is allowed to say what” in Cuba I would not be too much of a judge on whether men in public life should say anything that does not fit in with an administration. The Associated Press story con- cerning the incident stated that Dr. Campbell was not going to let the band ‘go to Cuba this year and that Cuban men did not have a high opinion of women, The statement was not. true. Dr. Campbell actually said that he would not permit the band to make the trip unless adequate ar- seeing tours and other recreational events. As he stated, it can get pretty boring for boys from several | bands to just hang around a school | building for hours on end, There can be no doubt as to .what was said. The Cuban council's son is a member of the Jaycees and was present at the meeting. One thing for sure, the publicity has been a shot in the arm for both Cuba and Key West as far as the tourist business goes, It has put both names before the public, It should give the Chamber of Commerce a basis for some good publicity if they want: to follo through on it. ’ Guava Jelly — I had to kill a column that was to run last Tues- day, It was all about the illegal inspection business.

Hal Boyle Says’ NEW YORK (#—It is a difficult thing for a man in a ring to sword a maddened bull to death. But, sehor, it is even more dif- ficult on the nerves for this same man to slay an American night club audience with no weapon but his baritone voice. Manuel Capetillo swears thir is so. Manuel, who is one of Mexico’s top matadors, now has a new ¢a- reer, When the bulls are out of season, he belts out Mexican dit- ties on the night club circuit. Although he has been a big hit in his first New -York appearance in the Hotel Pi , Manuel says he still finds it easier work to face’ a bull than a cafe society a udience, “The I get fighting the bulls, are different from the nerves I get wi I am singing,” hen I fight a bull I am not singing. I may feel sick three days before a bull fight—and three days after—but I don’t have the nerves when I am actually facing the bull.” Manuel is an extraordinarily tal- ented man. He is a charro (Mexi- can blue-blooded cowboy), a bull- fighter, a movie actor, and a vocalist. In his own land he is a kind of combined Joe DiMaggio, RE et Ee a boy of 5 waving capes at calves on his father’s ranch. “T never took a professional bull- fighting lesson—or singing lesson- in my life,” he‘said. He became a matador at 22, hopes to stay in the field until he is 35, or even 40, if his nerves hold out. “I want to sing and fight’ the bulis as long as I can,” he said simply. “It is my life. : “Tt is not the legs that go first, as it is with a baseball player. A matador begins to go to pieces when he no longer can control his nervous system. Somehow the bull seems able to sense this.” Despite the terrible thigh scars left on his body by the five bulls who outpointed him, Manuel says he has no particular fear once he enters the ring. “For a moment, when you first see the bull, you have a feeling like a martyr—and wonder why you are there,” he explained. Then the action starts, and there is no time for feelings. : “T do not eat the day of a fight, and it is very good to have a quick glass of cognac to settle the stom- Carolos theater by the American| Soviet Seeks ‘Peace Among Bath Sharers By STANLEY JOHNSON MOSCOW # — The newspaper Evening Moscow has come Peaceful coexistence—among ilies sharing kitchens and baths in Moscow tenements. “Scandal fanciers and brawl sportsmen” battle with their nigh- bors over such things as a scratched bathtub or the keeping of pet doves in communal kitch. ens, Evening Moscow says. Shared plumbing and cooking facilities are normal in Moscow life. Most of the cases coming before rels among sharing families. The newspaper advocates that persons living in the same apartment building band together in “courts of colleagues” to judge such cases and keep them out of the regular courts. The paper gives several exam- ples of the fights; beginning with one between members of the Boulva and Ivanov families who livd in apartment No. 8 at Le Svetkhov Alley. “Once a member of the Boulva family. scratched the enamel of the bathtub while taking a bath, The Ivanov family took it as a personal insult. The housewife Ivanova made a sarcastic remark, Boulva also answered’ sarcastical- ly. All had ripened for muni- cipal flat scandal of the medium. serious type. “But what has happened? From the small scratch arose a big fight and on the scene appears the (gov- ernment) mediator to examine not a small scratch on the bathtub, but a deep scratch on the face of one of the battlers. “They were using mops and saucepans — very popular battle tools in communal life, “Then the heads of the families took over in the battlefield from the housewives. They passed re- fined phrases back and forth swung at each other with brief cases.” How the fight came out is not related.
