FEBRUARY 4, 1954 Tourist Trade Drop Noted fortunate this week that the Sunshine Climate club was able to announce success of its annual membership roundup at the same time that statistics' Were released showing a setback in Arizona's tourist trade for the first time since 1949. The bureau of business research of the University of Arizona figures that Arizona's out-of-state tourist income last year slipped three per cent below the 1952 total of $175 million. The slight dip stands more as a warning signal than as a cause for alarm at this point.

The business bureau makes one.suggestion which can be taken to heart immediately by everyone in Tucson -serve the tourist better. That should be a touchstone for the service station attendant, the waitress, the hotel clerk, and the citizen on the street. 1 local hospitality is generally good, and few will say that it isn't. So, let's simply make it better. And at the same tim.e -be glad that the Sunshine club is fortified to proceed with program of making the "Trail to Tucson" a wide, attractive, well-traveled highway.

Lower Voting Age Looks Unlikely Rough sledding appears to lie ahead for the constitutional amendment proposed by President Eisenhower to fix the voting age at 18. For one thing, thdre is. obvious aversion in congress and out to changing the constitution unless absolutely necessary jjnd also to narrowing further 'the fields left to state discretion. Pro-states rights congressmen will be quick to point out that the 18-year-old eligibility for voters would cover not only national but also state and local elections. It is now-possible for individual states to lower the required age for voters.

The idea has been presented in a number of states in recent years only to be rejected, the latest instance being by referendum in South Dakota in 1952. The only present exception to the 21-year standard voting age is in Georgia, where the age limit was reduced to 18 in 1943. If the amendment is given dress review by this congress, therefore, it should prompt almost as much disagreement as the Bricker amendment currently hold- Ing the capitol stage. Higher Pay For Congress? chances of congress get'ting a pay increase this year by its own decision may be considered at least 5-50 at this point. A bill has been introduced by Chairman Reed (R-I11.) of the house judiciary committee to raise- the salaries of congressmen and of federal judges to $27,500 a year.

parties will no doubt hope for bipartisan action, so neither can be.held to blame --if there is any blame. And the fact that the last increase was all of seven years ago will be another encouragement. A member of congress, twitted by his campaign opponent next fall for having voted to raise his own pay, could retort: Have you or anybody else on salary had no raise for seven years? Arizona Album By Albert R. Bgehman CHAPTER II--THE JNDLifJ Drummond THIS YUMA CHIEF USED THE SCALPING KNIFE Seventy-odd years ago about-1880 Henry Buehma'a, pioneer Tucson photographer, snapped this picture of a-Yuma Indian chief. The picture is not fully identified now--the name of the chief has not been preserved--but the photographer's comment on this old chap was that he had wielded the scalping knife his younger days.

It is'true that the Yumas in early-day Arizona territory a ferocious and warlike tribe. They were cultivated by the early missionaries and.it had seemed that some progress had" been made them, but the Yumas soon acquired a belief that they were being exploited and they suddenly turned on the white men, slaughtering even their benefactors. Father Garces and his group of pt-iasts' in two missions at and near Yuma, Arizona, then a tiny on the banks of the Colorado'and Gila rivers at their Junction just above present-day Yuma, Years after the Garces massacre, the present townsite of Yuma was. laid out-by Charles D. Poston.

The town was first called Colorado City, then changed to Arizona City, and finally to Yuma. Yuma Indians'still live along the Colorado on both banks. Some.are snjall farmers today, participating in the irrigation programs. Others are tradesmen and mechanics in Yuma Somerton, and WUiterhavcn, (From the Daily Citizen library'.) Every presidential press conference' strengthens the conviction of most Washington correspondents that, while there Is not a new Eisenhower in the. White House, 'there is quite a different Eisenhower "White House.from;a i ago.

The difference Is this: A year ago the President had made up'his mind on hardly anything, Today the President has' made up his mind on nearly everything; certainly he has up his mind fin' a range significant legislative issues. A year, ago: it was not clear whether Mr. Eisenhower was going'to meaningful; a i he did, it was not clear "whether he would, really fight for it. Today Mr. Elsenhower has very'Solid legislative program and he is fighting it--and loves it.

THIS DIFFERENCE shows itself vividly at the press conferences. The President is now really relishing thfa questioning by the reporters and he is handling himself with force and poise and skill. He Is acute and alert, 'as he needs to be, but he is also relaxed; I doubt If there has been any time since Mr. Eisenhower has been in the White House that he has had 'such a friendly working press. The friendliness of press which I am talking aj-iout isn't partisan.

It reflects feeling among the correspondents that -the general--new to politics, new to civilian government, to domestic affairs--has effectively got hold of his job, knows where he is going and is actively steering, things to get there. It may be an occupational prejudice---I don't think so--of reporters to prefer; a positive; dynamic President. But, whatever the reason. Mr. Eisenhower and the White House correspondents have never been on more cordial responsive terms.

They like the "different" Eisenhower and the "different" Eisenhower seems to be i himself in a way he was 'not enjoying himself a few months ago. THIS DIFFERENCE between 1953 and the 1954 model Eisenhower shows itsalf in the President's relations He is not issuing uases or calling for "must" legislation, but the President is no longer pretending that all he can dojis send proposals to congress and then cross h'is fingers and hope for the best. Mr. Els.enhower is mastering his job as party leader as though he liked it. And he is getting results.

When the adminlstra- tion needed votes to pass the St. Lawrence Sea- Vay, Mr. Eisenhower had Republican senators on the telephone and he had them to breakfast at the "White'- Every Republican and Democratic, since Williatp Howard Taft, tried to the St. Lawrence Seaway, approved and failed. The.

senate has now started on its way to law and much of the 'credit goes to Eisenhower's active intervention, IT IS.A1SO EVIDENT that a version of thg Bricker Amendment unacceptable to the administration: has been blocked by presidential decisiveness. Perhaps Mr. Eisenhower could, have dcne both of things a year ago. He. wasn't While it can.be honestly argued that it would have-been better If he had been ready, it is to his credit that he.

is ready, he is acting vigorously and effectively. To obtain senate approval of the St. Law.rehee Seaway, which has hung', dormant--and almost mordant-s-for 45 years--and to defeat an to curb. the treaty-making power of the federal government In the span of two weeks an achievement. Mr.

Eisenhower didn't bring it about by ducking controversy. He brought it about by accepting controversy and by utilizing energetically the political and constitutional powers of the Presidency. IT WAS FASHIONABLE to contend, a year ago, that unless Mr. fresh 'from his election, utilized his 'prestige during the first year of office, it would-not be there if he tried to use it later. That.

theory is'. being 1 proved wrong. There is evidence that the President is actually and'potentially more influential with congress today then he was last year. President-Eisenhower won't win all the.time; far from it, But from now on, ll I read, the signs correctly, he isn't going to lose by default, IM4 for the Cttiitn Another Security Link WASHINGTON--Last week the senate forged a i in oxir chain of security defenses in the Pacific and the Far East. The 'latest link in this chuit.

wait the ratification.by the senate of the a security pact with the Republic of Korea. It is another-step to bolster up our collective security in an area of the world that we too long took little notice of--an area where the Communists made great gains, in capturing China while our backs were turned as we looked intently to Western Europe where w.e felt the Communist threat was the gravest. Korea now joins our list of defensive allies, Japan, the Smith Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. There is strength and there is danger in these defensive guarantees that we have entered into mutually with these Pacific countries. THE STRENGTH IS in the fact that the potentia.

Communist enemies are now put upon notice that an attack upon any of these nations risks military retaliation from the others. This 'should prove an effective deterrent upon the potentia enemy. The danger, of course, Is that we could become involved in war again as we in the defense of South Korea. But that danger is not so great when you examine the terms' of the treaties. For in those terms you can find assurances that the pacts are not in fact undisputed guarantees of immediate, warfare on the part of this country, THIS IS WHAT SECRETARY of State Dulles said: "I believe, as- one looks back at the wars of this century, that it can be said, with a i degree of probability that the aggressors had known ir advance what we do they would not have committed the acts of aggression.

By San. Margaret Chase Smith I as to what we would do if Korea were again invaded from the north. We would do what we did before." Now there can be no question but that the mutual security pact with Korea does serve such notice on aggressors as Secretary Dulles says it does, But the terms are carefully any false move to get us involved. The" senate attached very significant reservation to the resolution of ratification, That reservation provides that we are not to be drawn into' any military action that is something other, than actual aggression against--and I repeat, against--South Korea. SOME FEAR WAS VOICED by the few senators opposing the treaty that we might get trapped into involvement by Korea itself taking aggressive action.

To meet this the senate adopted a reservation that provides that the treaty is applicable the case of "external armed attack against" the Republic of Korea or United States. In setting up safeguards, the senate did not stop this reservation. It was careful how the Korean territory was defined and in the definition provided that it must have be.en "lawfully brought" under control of the Republic of Korea government. Another objection raised to 'the treaty is that it is another piecemeal commitment--that we are making too many of these "piecemeal commit- nients" and spreading our military defense and forces too thin in such commitments. Senate Majority Leader Knowland gave the answer, to To-the surprise-of lie pointed out that the Republic of Korea ai-my Is the sixth largest standing army, in the world today.

Not only that, it is trained and battle- tested. AN OVERWHELMING majority of the senate rejected this "piecemeal commitment" argument. Instead, they recorded themselves as believing it was another step in the necessary integrated overall security for us and our friends in the Pacific- Far area of the world. The Citizen's Mailbox 'STILL CONFUSED 1 Editor Tucson Dally Citizen Dear Sir: I'm confused! In Monday night's Citizen I find Planned Parenthood ridiculed on one page, and on another page I am told that millions of children are being born parents unable to feed them. It didn't take the Church, or Planned Parenthood to convince Us that two children were all we should have If we were to give them the love and devotion a child deserves.

Some parents have more, some have less their business just so the children become good citizens. Otherwise, it's the public's business. From your article "Forty-nine Every Minute" I quote: "half the world's people today are underfed, underclothed and Inadequately housed Many people are starving, More are breeding undersized, unhealthy children." If Planned Parenthood would help to correct this horrible tragedy, then I'm for it! Since God has been brought Into this controversy, it appears that we are thinking of two completely different Gods. I am quite positive that my God, who' loves little not want them brought into a world of misery, without love, food, or minimum prospects of a useful life. Still confused-CHUCK ABBOTT 2360 E.

Broadway A CRUEL WORLD--ISN'T IT? Editor Tucson Daily Citizen Dear Sir: To err is human; to forgive Is times this is cruel world, is it not? In weighing the known facts concerning the recent much- published marital -affairs of James Roosevelt, my dual natures are at bay. That is' my carnal nature of flesh and blood, wherein an for an eye and a tooth for a tooth cries out for revenge, and my spiritual nature, wherein a contrite heart is deeply felt; 'weighed in the balance of divine and cbmpassion. As I am made to see James from what'I read in the paper from the scheming eyes of unscrupulous political using filth as a psychological weapon to gain for themselves many votes from an unsuspecting public with a high moral intuitiveness as a backbone for- justifiable purposes-and as I try reading between lines and unbiasedly endeavor to see him as was in the stillness of a quiet meditation 9 which "prompted him to write his death warrant as it were, as that contritional letter of to his beloved wife--(for he must have Ipved her deeply'to make such a complete open confession), my responsive divine nature within me seems to cry out with righteous indignation as a defending lawyer before a much confused jury, "Let him or her who. is without sin or shortcoming cast the first stone." CHRIST GAVE US the parable of the prodigal son to help us overcome our carnal nature. By this I do not wish to imply that I condone the product of his confession.

God forbid. Wrong is wrong, regardless of where-we may find it. But I am deeply concerned over the manner in which he chose to make this humiliating confession of his so many years ago to a wife whom he had wronged greatly. To me confessional divulgement is a very sacred sacrament. The sanctity: of his humble, admission should have been kept secret between the three parties it involved--God, himself and his' w.ife.

In this spect comes to Christ's famous. declaration found in Saint Matthew 18:18 -when "he said to one and all down the pages of time, "Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." I only regret that this humble admission of contrition of his did not reach, the resounding ears-of a Christ-like companion, who had learned by' the in- dwellhig spirit of God! what Jesus meant when He taught us how to pray, "Forgive us our. trespasses as. we 'forgive 'those trespass against YES, NOT SEVEJf TIMES, but seventy times seven, as Jesus once said to St. Peter who wanted to know how -many 'times a.brother should forgive a brother who had offended him.

Open minded as I am, from a biological standpoint, and" a psychological point of view, James' libidinous love life fully demonstrates his super intellectual powers. As any-sex- ologist will tell you, -a strong libidinous drive is oftentime indirect sign of latent possibilities. Regrettable as it may be to see that he had chosen to foolishly his God-given' talents of super energy, hbw- ever, I am deeply gratified that he has found himself to such an extent that he did humbly write- that wonderful letter'of contri- tional self-examination to the one he -Indirectly- wronged so greatly from-a marital vow point of view. Would that more of us do just as he did! This world would be a much better world to live in. sincerely yours, HONORS G- CHABOT, 3650 S.

Ninth ave. ONLY WONDERS? know, there -jvere. seven ancient wonders of- the world. But was it actually that number? A British natural scientist has suggested the polite and cultured language of his calling that maybe one of them--the Colossus of. Rhodes --was a fake.

Herbert Maryon has: completed 12 years of archaeological research causing him to question the story that the fam- 'cus statue, of the sun god Helios actually stood with a beacon in its hands and one foot side iof the harbor of Rhodes, so that ships could neath. From classical'''inscrip- tions Maryon has figure that the sjfctue was only 120 feet 'high and therefore too small straddle a harbor 600 feet 'Since the Colossus was tumbled by an earthquake'about the year 224 B.C., It's no longer around for measuring. And i Mr. Maryon doesn't mind too much, we'd just as soon go right on believing that the ancient' i world held: seven hot six and one-5ialf as he iaiplies. --Kansas City Times.

Hal Boyle's Notebook YORK--W--Every time a child is born two cowards are created. They are the parents. There is nothing like a baby'to turn a couple of normally courageous adults into a 'pair of mice. Some six months ago a five- week-old lady called Tracy Ann moved a crib into our home and adopted Frances and me. Coming into our life after 16 childless years of marriage, she brightened up the place like a woloome 'jandie in a dark cave.

Cur Hie was enough before. But now it shining luster, and it is a wonderful feeling come home and open the door and be greeted by a small sunrise smile and a trill like a meadowlark. "Are you sure it won't trouble you that the baby isn't your own flesh and blood?" a cautious friend asked shortly after Tracy Ann decided to be our favorite income.tax deduction. Trouble us? It is just the other way around. Frankly, it is a relief.

"Baby, we didn't bring you into the world," I feel like telling her, "All we have is the chance to make as nice a world for you as we can, -and if we fail you in that, then you got a real right to holler." When Tracy Ann had been in "our house a week, she already was more than our flesh and blood. She was pur blithe spirit, and she becomes blither every day. I have no hesitancy in advising any childless couple who can get a baby to adopt them to go and do so at once, and quit postponing paradise. But paradise has a price. Ordinary parenthood will turn the bravest human being into a craven wretch; adopted parents are doubly craven.

In four years of war reporting I learned to condition myself so that I was afraid only when in actual.danger. A man who gets the fear-sweats before he goes to the front, or after he comes back and is out of won't- last -through very many battlefields. But raising a baby is much more terrifying than working on a battlefield. On a battle- Afield you know when to be 'scared, when you can relax. But in raising a child, you live with a tight knot of terror at the back of your-brain day and night.

So many things can happen. "Don't the pediatrician. "Whatever you are doing for this baby, just keep right on doing it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her." I guess that is what frightens me. Everything has gone so terribly well for Tracy Ann.

Right now she has two upper fangs and two lower fangs busting out of her deep pink gums, and I must admit does' look, when she grins, a bit like a cross between an old grandma and a young alligator. Nobody can say I ever claimed she was the most beautiful in' the- whole she is merely the loveliest baby in the world-she has made for us--a castle with room just', now for the three who share it. But she Is as strong -and pound for, pound; as'a If. the Notre Dame football team, ever coeducational, I've, got a promising candidate for right She. eats three squares a day like a harvest hand, and she sleeps 12 hours in a row every night.

And happy? Tracy Ann is so happy all day long I'm secretly afraid she either doesn't have good sense, or-else she doesn't quite she ls-llving in the 20th.centuryi has become so important to-us that we have come to feel that maybe for this reason we are'more important, ourselves. I have taken out extra life insurance, and Frances and I don't just, look- both, be-. fore crossing a street. We look' four Molotov's Dream The Molotov proposal to divide the world among five powers really means a line of demarcation betweeft the United States and Soviet Russia. It is a revival of the Molotov- i trop a which was the basis of the Stalin- i Alliance (1939).

tov Ribbon- trop Pact was I the immediate a i i i World War II, bokolsky hen 'its- principles were applied to Poland, Great Britain accepted the gauge of war with American support. At both Teheran, and Yalta, this same concept was revived, Great Britain- being in. eluded but not too importantly. The United States rejected this concept of peace by demarcation and proposed the United Nations as a substitute. YET EVEN IN THE United Nations, matters of basic principle are the province of the five permanent, members of the security council, the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, France and China, each of whom enjoys the right of an absolute veto.

The practical elimination of China and the weakness of Franco-have given to the United States and Soviet Russia a predominance over the United Nations security council not anticipated at the San Francisco conference. The so-called smaller countries are not so small; are only weak. The Moslem states could generate a power which could challenge Soviet Russia; the Latin American if ever they build an enormous power. The.Molo- tov resurrection at Berlin of, the Molotov-RibbenU'op Pact would preclude that. The River Elbe would be a dividing line in Europe; the southern boundary of China in Eastern Asia and the 3Sth a a Western Asia.

The United States would dominate the American continents and Western Europe; Russia would dominate Eastern Europe and Northern and Eastern Asia. The rest of the world they would divide between them, permitting such countries a Great Britain and France In believe that they possessed power but not permitting them to exercise it. RIBBENTKOP SOJ.D this idea to.Hitler, who fell into the trap and wrecked his state and him- Dennis The Menace By George E. Sokolsky self. John Foster Dulles has already rejected it for the United States, as he had to because no American could accept the cynical immorality of such a line of demarcation.

The puzzle, is: Why did Molotov proposs it? Perhaps It was psychological: Having once sold these wares to Ribbentrop, he believes that they are satisfactory wares. Molotov Is not known to bs humorist or even humorous. Hit Is a dour It If possible that Malenkov, who utterly ignorant the American mind, cooked this one up and assumed that would like it because It would give the United States parcels of the earth's surface and masses of population to which, we are not entitled. Malenkov would therefore do well to corns here and see how a free people lives and works and does not fear. I pick a paragraph from an address delivered by Sen.

William E. as an example of what Molotov and Malenkov need to understand: "WE AMERICANS have not lived for centuries free from governmental compulsion merely because we had ballot box.es. The most ruthless dictatorships of Europe made much of ballot boxes. Americans were able to kpep themselves free of government direction because they lived by a creed of self-direction, Americans were their own managers, their own directors, their own commanders, their own planners." This is a correct view of tha American mind and the American personality. And such people do rfot wish to own other 1 people.

If only that could understood by' the Russians, it might be possible to come to some terms. For instance, while Soviet Russia owns East Cer- many absolutely, the United States does not own West Germany at all; while the Soviet empire owns North Korea, the United States docs not own South Korea, as Syngman Rbee has by his conduct. i i China is.part of the Soviet universal state, Nationalist China, existing on tiny Formosa, is not part of the United States. Guatemala is dominated by the Kremlin, no country in Latin America is dominated by the White It is possible to detail this difference in a thousand i The Russians might find a formula for permanent peace with us in it. 1354 for the Citizen All CVEK TMg.
