"Every year I give dad a necktie," she told her children. "Sis, you always give him a pair of sox.

And Junior, you usually give him a lie clasp--or something else he never wears and you happen to need. "Well, this year why don't we give him a real surprise party to show how much we appreciate him? don't we treat him to a steak dinner at the best restaurant in town?" So it was that on the evening of Father's Day a surprised dad was cajoled into putting on his best suit and escorted to the family bus. He was startled when Junior drove the car into the parking lot of the "Sirloin Gulch" restaurant. "Hey." he protested. "We can't go in there.

It's too expensive 'Not lonight It isn't," said mother. "This treat is on LJ--and we want you to have the very best."

He finally came up with M9.13, handed it to the waiter and told him grandly, "Keep the change." for the past decade. Dwight Eisenhower twice took the state by ing healthy margins. Richard Nixon, though he lost Its electoral vote to President Kennedy by roughly 50,000 votes, fared better in certain of its cities than he did in major cities in northern areas.

Political experts insisted, however, that these developments did not prove Texas as fashioning a genuine two-party system, that GOP triumphs at the state and local level would be required to demonstrate that. Such a victory has now been gained by Tower over incumbent Sen. William Blakley, the Democrat appointed earlier to take Vice President Johnson's old seat. Since both men ran as avowed strong conservatives, it could be that Texas voters accepted Tower's Republican label as they would not have done 15 or 20 years ago. Yet the short run factors complicate an appraisal.

Blakley, 62, evidently was not a highly effective campaigner. His expressions of conservatism inevitably took on something of a negative hue, inasmuch as he had to spend consider- wa oll treat," mother kept able time disavowing any support of Kennedy, a 6 Pay hack tc president of his own party. ''Yes lntieed Sis. Tower, a 35-year-old professor, steadily sounded a positive, Goldwater-like conservative note that may have struck Texans as more vigorous and more promising. He had the eager help of Sen, Barry Goldwater and the open support of Eisenhower.

On top of this, it has to be remembered that the Democratic party in Texas is not a monolith of conservatism but has powerful liberal strains. Careful analysis of the vote may show support for the notion advanced by some that many liberal Texans stayed away from the polls. Their hope, it is suggested, is to capture control of the stale party, a most unlikely prospect had Blakley won. Perhaps some early substance is lent to this theory by the fact that 200,000 fewer voters took part in the Tower-Blakley runoff than did in the April 4 primary contest. In that first test, a multiplicity of Democratic candidates together outpolled Tower by 2 to 1.

Whatever factors were decisive, it Is plain a Tower and the Republicans made the most of the best chance any GOP senatorial candidate has had since the last party victory in 1870. The result alters the party's'Senate minority status slightly to 64-36 ami puts national leaders In a hopeful mood for a resurgence In 3962 and beyond.

Writers of recent letters have argued the case for federal aid to private education, with much emphasis on "conscience," the iniquities of "double, taxation," and other familiar phrases. Ignoring the question of whether federal aid to any school is desirable, church-run schools (the real issue here) should want nothing to do with such schemes.

Proponents of federal aid are doubtless sincerely convinced that it will not mean federal conlrol or dictation, but thousands of years of history stand against them. He who pays the bills eventually calls lhe tune. The history of the Christian part of the world in the past 3800 years proves beyond question that religious bodies thrive best when completely unconnected with and "unaided" by civil governments. When the two have been joined (generally the case in most of Europe for a centuries) the civil government has invariably attempted to influence, direct, conlrol, tyrannize over the church in numberless ways. Any textbook in European history will relate such instances by lha score.

Catholics and Froleslants have done far belter in every constructive sense in the U.S. where they have been divorced governmental "aid" of any kind and left entirely on their own resources. Any organization performs best when its supporters think enough of it to finance it themselves. H. B.

ALLEN and FAUL SCOTT WASHINGTON, first grim result of President Kennedy's gloomy meeting with Premier Khrushchev is now before Congress. It is a request for authority lo spend as much of the military budget as is necessary so the Strategic Air Command can establish a "standby" capability to maintain an airborne alert of one-eighth of ils heavy bombers.

That would enable SAC to put approximately 60 nuclear-arm. Atlas and Tilan Intercontinental ballistic missiles, urmed wilh nuclear warheads and ing ranges of more than 000 miles, will be added to the B- 47 replacements. For example: The B-47 squadron stationed at MounUIn Airbase, Idaho, will be replaced by Titan ICBMs. Two factori behind phu- ing out of the B47 are: Thli Just Folks By EDGAR A GUEST Success Success is being friendly vhtn another needs a friend: It's in the cherry words you speak and in the coins you lend; Success it not alone in skill and deeds of daring great, It's in the roses that you plant reside your garden gate. Success is in the way you walk lhe paths of life each lav; It's in the little things you do and in the things say- Success is in lhe glad 'hello you give your fellow man, It's in the laughter of your home and all the you plan.

Success is not in getting rich or rising high to fame: it's not alone in winning goals which all men hope to claim; Its in the man you are each day through happiness or care, It in the cheery words you speak nnd in the smile you wear. Success is being big heart and clean and broad of mind; It being faithful lo your friends and to the stranger kind; It's in thc children wham you lore, and all they learn fram you; Success depends on character and everything you do. Also being sought are lional funds lo double the number oi B52 bombers equipped with air-to-ground Hound Dog missiles. Some 50 B-52s are now armed with this nuclear weapons that has a range of 500 miles. Defense Secretary McNamara, on orders of the President personally submitted these proposals to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees.

In doing that, McNamara told them these intensified defense measures are urgently essential "lo prepare for anything the Soviet may try to pull in Germany or any of the other trouble spots of the world." The showdown over West Berlin, McNamara told the committee in response to questions, is expected "in October or November." A two-week trial airborne alert is contemplated around thai lime. The Joint Chiefs ol Staff have recommended such an alert of 40 to 50 SAC bombers in the fall. That has been approved by lhe President and Defense Secretary McNamara, and all that is necessary to set it in motion is congressional authorization to spend the required money. From views expressed by House and Senate leaders, that approval is certain. I I I A I traded airborne 500-mile Hound ground missile.
