Protection We Are Not Getting. i Foreign-made plywood is raising havoc with our American-made product, as anyone connected with the plywood.industry here can tell you. Principal reason seems to be that the present tariff is not high enough to protect our wage and living standard. Granted that American methods are vastly more effU cient than foreign work in this line-- that is not suf- ftcent to shield us against the combined effects of sweat. shop wages abroad, plus a low tariff rate.

The same applies to foreign fisheries, and others. Plain realism should tell you that America, with her enlightened living maintain that stand- protection. To argue that we can bring the rest of the'world up to our living level simply by cutting tariffs, is-sheerest economic folly. After all, our nation only represents about seven percent of the world's population. To open ourselves to unlimited competition, from hungry hordes abroad simply means that will be dragged down to their status.

There aren't enough of us to shoulder all the load. Your newspaper, first of all, is pro-Humboldt. Anything that damages the north.coast's economic structure is, to us, a common enemy. A deluge of cheaply-made fore jgn.products -means suffering and unemployment, right here at home. And for what good We'want no truck with these starry-eyed do-gooders Jfho seem so willing to throw our nation's money around --and then let that money return in the shape of under- priced goods that throw our people out of work.

That's putting it bluntly, but facts can't be ignored. certain foreign competition is good. Other nations can make somethings better than ours can. BUT, let there be sufficient duty on those goods to equalize the wage- differential. Then, and only then, can foreign-made products compete on a strictly merit basis.

To let cheap goods in for cheapness 1 sake means, in final analysis, that we will cheapen our economic structure just that much. So be warned. Your Birthday And Tomorrow By STELLA iitiDAY, MAY 31 Born have a truly Gemini nature dual talents, dual moods, and conflicting tendencies which not only make you a difficult person to understand but may impede the progress of your exceptional talents. You should discover early in life how to direct your energies to the best possible advantage. There is a strong mystic trend in your nature and you are often guided by forces which you seem unable to control.

Some call it fate; you probably will call it God. Although you have a deeply spiritual nature, it may be a conventional one, for you have an honest, inquiring mind which wants to know all the answers Although highly emotional, you seldom display your feelings but keep them pent up inside. Although you can be the life of any party, when in the mood, you more often prefer to remain with your books or your music rather than mix with casual acquaintances who do not have similar intellectual tastes. You are fond of good food and wines and may need to curb you rappetile or you will become much overweight after middle age. Your life seems to run in cycles of good and ill fortune, and you must learn to take advantage of the upturns and lie low when the tide appear sto be running against you.

Watch out for January 8 each year. Something most fortunate is likely to occur on that dale. Among those born on this date were: Walt Whitman, poet; Marglo Gillmore, actress-producer; Mme. Frances Alda, singer; William Rockefeller, financier; James Jeffrey Roche, poet and author; Jack Holt and Don Ameche, actors; Fred Allen, comedian, and Charles Greeley Abbott, astrophysicist To find what the stars have in store for you tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph.

Among other things, the book points out that it is not always easy to identify the bright child, even by such well known tests as the IQ.

The IQ test alone, for example, does not make sny allowance for the character and motivation of the youngster. Nevertheless, it is important identify all bright children and to see that they acquire 'actors which will enable them progress as far and as fast as their potentialities permit. THE BRIGHT child does not always show his ability for everyone to see. Some are giv- to daydreaming or to ag- disorders.

This is parents can shifts rapidly) other children something that watch for. THERE ARE problems, once have been identified in knowing how to handle bright For example, many bright children come from broken or unhappy homes Some have poor discipline at home and some are simply handled improperly by the parents. One bad but common procedure is for parents of a bright child to keep reminding thai youngster of the superior accomplishments of some brother or sister.

They make a distinguished latch of unhappy and unfor- unate victims. Oddly, all four belong to the Northern and lib- ral faction of the Party. The quartet consists of four Governors of some of our most nfluential states--Averell Harriman of New York, Robert B.

Ueyner of New Jersey, George M. Leader of Pennsylvania and ilennen Williams of Michigan. It is known that their friends have already begun to sound out politicos on their prospects. The wounds may not be fa for there will be a healing and convalescent period of three years. But their opponents and enemies, both Dem- icratic and Republican, plan make capital of their current disabilities for future use.

New York's Lanza Scandal-- jovcrnor Harriman's regime has become involved in a scandal over unusually tender treatment of a paroled labor cxtor named Lanza. Although apparently violated his Carole by associating, with known criminals and living beyond his means, he was permitted to remain free instead of being returned to prison. A Republican i a i committee believes that Tammany "fixers" were responsible for this leniency, and are now conducting an anti-Harriman investigation. Regardless of the decision, which may it It have partisan undertones, can embarrass Harriman. tends to link him with the once disreputable Fourteenth Street organization.

Moreover, sever al of his other commissions have been accused of playing questionable politics a Broadway and the New York waterfront. Political Meyner's difficulties are entirely political. In the recent Jersey City municipal election, the voters of Hud son County ousted the John Kenny, pro-Meyncr faction in favor of the James M. Murray, Trenton to the White House. Stephen Glrard's ernor Leader has become en tangled in a racial situation hat will win him no Southern delegates.

He headed the move ment to break the famous itephen Girard will so that the college he founded with his money could be attended by Negro pupils. When Girard died in 1831 many years before the 14th Amendment was adopted, he specified in" his will that thi school should serve "popi white orphan boys." Negro ticians have tried for years sreak the will, and they sue ceeded when Supremi Court recently held it invalii on the ground of "race dis crimination." Senator Richard B. Russel of Georgia, leader of thi Southern bloc, inserted in thi Congressional Record a maga zine attack on the Girard de cision. It was entitled "The Su preme Court Marches On-the Left!"

If large numbers of bright children could be more rapidly advanced just think of the savings on school space and teachers. But there is the question of social adjustment' and it would hardly be wise to let a few youngsters into college at 15 or 16 when most of their colleagues are considerably older.

This is a problem for all of us to nonder Murray insists that the Governor recognize him as the new political boss and patronage dispenser, but Meyner is re ported to be reluctant to bow to these demands. No matter what decision he finally reaches, he seems bound to raise up powerful enemies. Populous and normally Dem ocratic Hudson County ffe quenlly decides the result in state elections. If failure to rol up a normal lead here shoulc defeat Meyner for re-election he would be out as a I860 pros ncct. He would not follow Woodrow Wilson's path from Washington Senator Wilam F.

He does not say it publicly, ut the President also must be aware that a majority of Re ublican members of Congress agree with the Knowland ap preach, rather than the ad- helping hand ministration's avenue. That is why the White House and the State Department wil be compelled to the strongest of pressures to stop Congress from including in Ihis year's Foreign Aid bill flat prohibition against any aic to any country under Com munist rule.

Such a prohibition was al most written into last year's foreign aid measure, as a di reel outgrowth of disclosure of administration plans to sem additional military material Yugoslavia. In response to urgent arf ministration i tunings however, a compromise finally was provided that no aid could be extended to any Com munist nation until and unless the President had re-sludiet the situation and found, affir matively, that such aid wa necessary to the interests of the United States. That was in July. In October Mr. Eisenhower informed Congress that a new study had convinced him that it would be in this country's best interests to extend certain economic aid to the Tito regime.

Military aid was held up until early this month, when it was decided to start sending Tito $100,000,000 worth of arms, including 200 jet aircraft. The administration claims that arms aid to Tito, and economic aid to Poland, will help to promote nationalistic feelings in those countries and encourage their independence of the Kremlin.

In essence, they boil down to a conviction that Poland's Gomulka is nationalis tic only to the extent that Moscow permits, to bolster his public support; and that Tito's independence evaporates in favor of subservience to Moscow, in any basic East-West dispute.

Furthermore, he argues that any aid to a satellite country has the effect of easing Russia's obligation to maintain satellite economies at certain levels, albeit minimum levels. If the United States gives Poland $100,000,000 worth of food and clothing, it eases Polish demands on the already- straining Russian economy by exactly that extent. The Polish loan is being negotiated, and the Yugoslav aid is being undertaken, under existing law. Therefore, Know land's showdown fight is for the future. It might come or.
