BIX EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE ITHACA JOURNAL, ITHACA, N.Y. TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1956 The Hangover The World Today Grow Yourself a Soul By WILLIAM WALLACE ROSE Wrote Charles Kingsley: "Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done whether you want to er not." And we might add whether you like to or not. There is often more saving grace in doing the disliked duty than in the unwanted. Doing what we must brings no more distress than a grudging spirit. Doing what we dislike brings self-discipline.

In either case there is growth of the soul in the compulsions of life. Take the unwelcome obligations of the day such as the daily care of the body, the daily involvement in the problems and personalities of others, the daily drain upon powers of intellect and spirit. What these can do for us is seen when we turn Mr. Kingsley's proposition around. Look at people who have nothing to do but what they want and like to do.

What children they are! How empty and inane their days! How barren of any deeper motivations than finding pleasure; of any ultimate purpose save the VNEA Serf ice; Inc. agreed with him and even voted against him. He can hardly hope to change the party by the same tactics between now and 1960. For that reason and since he owes his reelection far more to himself than to the party he may decide to be tough where he was lenient with Republicans who go contrary to him and his programs. That he will run into trouble in Congress, with Democrats and Republicans, seems sure.

With this his last term, Democratic hopes of victory in 1960 soar. But the Democrats have to make a record to show the voters. They can hardly build a record by being Eisenhower's yes-men. So long as it was possible Eisenhower might run and win in 1956, carrying them back into their jobs on his coattails, those Republicans who disagreed with him had a good, self-interested reason to soft-pedal their opposition. They have no such incentive now.

Further, there are would-be presidents among the Republicans. To be considered for the White House, they will somehow have to build themselves up into national stature. They won't make headlines by being yesmen, either. Yet, they have a dilemma: If they oppose Eisenhower too much they may antagonize, instead of attracting, public support which has been so favorable to Eisenhower's viewpoint. The traditional politician former President Truman and the late Sen.

Robert A. Taft of Ohio are recent examples is a man who makes plenty of enemies, even within his own party, by vigorously attacking those he thinks are trying to undercut him. If Eisenhower is to achieve his goals in the next four years, he may feel it necessary to become more like the traditional By JAMES MARLOW AP News Analyst WASHINGTON The political personality of President Eisenhower may undergo a change as he tries these next four years to get things done. If a politician can be judged on his ability to stay in office by satisfying a majority of the people, Eisenhower must be considered one of the best after the enormous endorsement he got last Tuesday. Since he also won by a landslide in 1952, it may be assumed he would just go on being his same self.

That doesn't follow, for he's in a different position now from 1952, politically and personally. He was a political amatuer in 1952. He isn't now. His knowledge of government and of how to get his programs through Congress was meager in 1952. It isn't now.

Between 1952 and 1956 he could always think that perhaps the huge vote in 1952 was due partly to public desire for a change after 20 years of the Democrats and partly to public hope, rather than confidence, he would make as good a president as he did a general. He doesn't have to worry about that now. Last Tuesday's vote was an outpouring of approval for his first four years' performance. He owes far less to the Republican Party than the party owes him. The voters supported him overwhelmingly while not even entrusting his party with control of Congress.

He has said he wants to shape a new Republican Party. He couldn't do it in his first four years. He has only four more left, since the Constitution limits him to two terms. He was mild, friendly and uncritical with everyone in the party in his first term even though there were many in it who dis Three Political Assumptions1 Evidence Refutes All of Them Letters To The Journal Actor Keeps Himself Bald Should Outlaw 'Volunteer' Fake ry An early item of business for the United Nations should be to declare that the sponsoring of "volunteers" for any trouble zone by any nation is an act of war, for which that nation is answerable. The Soviet "Union threatens to "permit" Russian volunteers to go to Egypt if its notion of how things should go there is not realized.

This is merely a threat, a part of the Soviet Union's campaign to distract world attention from the slaughter of Hungarians. But the United Nations should lose no time in saying frankly to the Soviet Union that any new resort to this subterfuge will be met by the full and complete exercise of ALL the UN's peace-keeping powers. should be no longer any legal masquerade in intervention of this type. Twice the world has seen its results in the Spanish civil war and in Korea. "Volunteers" went into both fully organized into battalions, regiments, divisions and finally armies.

The fakery of the legalistic mask was gross. It is time to outlaw it. Afterglow 'The Cold King blusters down with his legions from northland tundras and presses his blighting hand hard against Earth. There is usually a period of three or four successive nights early in the 11th month when the red line drops sharply and the biting chill of on-coming winter hits a man when he crosses the yard at dawn to do the morning chores. Meadows and fields lie bleached and faded; goldenrod and asters along country roads are pewter-gray ghosts of their September colors.

Cattail heads are ragged-headed spears, tattered exclamation points in the swamps and sloughs. After an introductory cold spell, the Weather Man often relents and sends a few days when the afterglow of November brightens the hills where the oaks still cling to their leaves a reminder that in ancient eras the oaks were evergreens. In those days of many million years ago, even as in southern states today, the oaks matured their leaves at varying times and dropped them a few at a time, thus insuring an evergreen tree. There is poignant beauty on the oaks in November. A sidehill or mountainside is a rich symphony of soft reds and maroons; shades of brown vary from deep, glowing hues to soft, pastel tans and yellows.

In the slanting rays of the November sun, Autumn's mellow afterglow on a pleasant day is a peaceful benediction. A countryman is grateful for the time of afterglow. He knows that Time is running downhill and that Earth's rest period is at hand. He knows that soon Earth's breast will be locked tight and that snow will come to make white beauty on the hills. But the time of November afterglow is an extra dividend to Year's regular payments.

For even as he enjoys the mild, mellow days and lifts his eyes to the beauty of the soft colors, the certainties are there; for in the afterglow of autumn, there are messages for the heart if one is in tune with the symphony of Nature. Parking Meter Ads The ugliness of billboards lining the roads has been abated to some extent after a long fight and largely due to construction of superhighways on which they are forbidden. Now a new struggle, involving parking meters has cropped up in some places. No one would argue that parking meters alone are any addition to the attractiveness of a community. Festooned with advertising signs, their ugliness would be staggering.

Answers on Page 7 School Bond Issue Editor, The Journal: This is a statement in response to a question raised Letters to The Journal, Nov. 9) by Mrs. Stanley H.

Johnson of 205 Homestead Terrace. The proposal to hold a public hearing only a week prior to a bond election has been given thorough consideration. Such a brief span of time would indeed be too short to allow voters to grasp details, make decisions, vote. On the contrary, citizens are already participating in an extensive schedule of meeting, studying, discussing. The Journal has carried, and will presumably continue to carry, stories on the day-to-day progress of the building program.

Invitations are being sent to every organization in the city to hold meetings during the next two months on thp subject of the school building issue. The pubut hearing is a formal meeting which is intended to follow a long and intensive publicity program. It is designed to give every voter an opportunity to express his views and raise any question still unanswered prior to the time he votes. The Board of the superintendent, and the manv citizens working in advisory committees welcome questions and suggestions. W.

L. GRAGG Superintendent of Schools Old Days' Recalled: Ithaca's Past Only the Dull May One Day Go to College By LOREN POPE Gannett News Service WASHINGTON Only the dullest students may have to go to college in the future. The bright ones may finish their classroom work with secondary school. But for either group, their "terminal education and the undertaker will arrive on the same day." This lifelong education will be by television, and other informal means. So says Dr.

Mortimer Graves. He is executive director of the American Council of Learned Societies. To begin with, the council is not alarmed by all the crying about a shortage of scientific manpower. Its staff adviser of personnel studies, J. F.

Wellemeyer says: "We think that probably the principal problems facing man in the next 100 years will be outside the scientific field." Dr. Graves adds: "We must remember there are just as many Russians as Americans, twice as many Indians, and over three times as many Chinese. And, like us, they all have one brain apiece. "Whether the United States remains a first-class power in such a 'minority situation depends upon the extent to which we discover, train and utilize all our brains. "This involves problems more difficult and solutions more elusive than those involved in building better H-bombs or man-made satellites." "The American of the rest of the 20th century," says Dr.

Graves, "is going to live in a crowded, spherical, social socialized if you like scientific, fast-moving world, the like of which has never existed before. His problems are going to be: Living cheek by jowl with people who think differently from himself. Devising new forms of social and political structure forced upon him by the increasing complete exploitation of the technologies and communication. Preserving his liberties in the face of an inevitable advance to higher and higher forms of human organization. Keeping his decision-making basis his religeon and philosophy apace of these advances.

"From where we stand this looks like one of the most exciting ages of all history. To keep pace with it this American will have to learn as long as he lives What we have known as formal education will be only a minor part of his educational experience That will pour in on him for the rest of his life. "Formal education can but give him the tools of adult education, and if it does that well, we should expect no more of it. "For all its gradual development, this is a quite new state of affairs which demands of us some quite new thinking." vr There are three reasons. For one thing, the college structure would have to be" expanded four or five times, at least to develop every American mind to its full capabilities using present methods.

For another, advancing knowledge and expanding American responsibilities, threaten college curricula with an overload that would need a 10-year course, "and college becomes ridiculous." "Just one example," he declared, "is the problem faced by the college in adding the dimension of Asia to higher education. No phenomenon is a clearer mark of our present age than that of resurgent Asia. Here half a dozen major civilizations, among the great cultural experiences of mankind, are declaring themselves anew. "Your student will live his effective life in a crowded world of these conflicting cultures all differently patterned from his own. "No educational experience is more important for him than that of coming to a meeting of minds with ways of thinking quite outside the Graeco-Judean-Chrlstian tradition, yet fully as sympathetic with what modern science tells us of the physical world.

"Almost no Americans have this experience in the course of formal education; we have hardly even yet learned how to present it. Every college administrator, whether he knows it or not, now has on his desk the problems of squeezing the non-Western world into his already overcrowded curriculum. "You can find this curricular ex- pansion no matter where you look over the whole field of human inquiry." Thirdly, says Dr. Graves, the "tremendous advance in our powers of communicating sound and spectable" will provide another shock that may destroy college as we know it. Communication he calls "the logistics of education." And it is "just about as realistic to discuss modern education in terms only of the older communications as it would be to plan a modern military campaign on the logistics represented by Gunga Din." Such things as television, radio, tape recordings and films mean that higher education must be "transformed." "The book in the library and the spoken word in the classroom are supplemented and in part replaced" by new things that make tie word "available in space to the wide world aiid in time to posterity." And there is no reason to believe, he adds, radio and TV are the last word, or, that so far as TV is concerned, "putting the lecturing professor on the 21-inch screen be considered anything but the most trivial exploitation of the new medium." Dr.

Graves adds it is "intriguing that a generation which has no difficulty in contemplating trips to the moon shudders at the thought we might discover a more effective road to higher education than the four-year college which has grown out of our ecclesiastical and classical tradition." What the shape of the change will be, he won't predict. They Say: By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK Ever hear of a bald man who didn't feel frustrated? Well, meet Yul Brynner, the actor. For five years his shaven pate has been a gleaming symbol of glamor to millions of women. It also has become a shining symbol of hope to millions of bald men, who'd like to believe they can still say hello to romance even though they've had to say goodby to their hair. Brynner has cut his hair with a razor so long he now takes his baldness for granted.

"It's become a prop," he said. "I find it quite comfortable." Many bald men have to fight down a suppressed desire to grow a beard or moustache. Not Yul. "I've never had a suppressed desire," he said flatly. Brynner, whose hobby is the study of philosophy he is studying for a doctorate degree in it), doesn't believe in being frustrated.

Son of a gypsy mother and a mining engineer who was part Mongolian, he has the traits of both east and west in his temperamenta quicksilver enthusiasm, a grave stoicism. Reared in Peiping and Paris, he became first a ballad singer sort of a subdued Gallic Elvis Presley, complete with guitar-then a circus acrobat, a touring actor, and finally a television director. He still regards himself as a director first, an actor second. "Most people don't seem to know that I've directed more than 1,000 TV programs," he said, "ranging from mystery thrillers to cooking shows." His most painful TV memory: The time he put on "The Light that Failed" on a program sponsored by a light bulb manufacturer. He feels he has won one distinction during his brief career in two pictures that cost a total of tinction during his brief career in Hollywood.

"I think I'm probably the only actor who in his first starring roles appeared within a year in two pictures that cost a total of more than $20,000,000," he remarked. The films are "The King and avoidance of pain! Man longs to be settled, as Emerson once said; yet only as he is unsettled is there any hope for him! It is the same principal of the blessings inherent in the unwelcome. What meaning in life is to be found in ease, comfort, security, or in any other place man looks for shelter? Meaning is found in struggle against odds, in prayers unanswered, in temptations which are met and mastered at every turn of the way. Paradoxically, a life without conflict would be a life without peace. These are the "something to do" which build good work habits, and add new dimensions to the soul.

And if this world is not "a vale of soul-making," as Keats described life, what is it? But 'Good in Between' About this time of year, talk naturally turns to the old question, "What will the winter be like?" Now the government Weather Man is willing to go out on a limb of only moderate length. Try to push him farther with his "long-range forecast" than a conservative 30 days and he'll tell you he isn't in the fortune-telling business. Not so the diviners of meteorological vicissitudes by means of wooly bears, goose bones, tree bark, the flight of birds and what not. They can always find ways to predict anything either way. But for downright courage we have to hand it to the oldtime almanacs, which never pull a punch on forecasting the weather; Well, what about this winter? Both the Old Farmer's Almanac, which has been published continuously for 164 years, and Baer's Agricultural Almanac, with some 131 years behind it, agree on saying the coming winter will be a tough one.

The new edition of the Farmer's Almanac looks for snow the first week in December that will last until spring. The season will be "even and fine," it says, many storms, but good weather in between. Averages colder than last year, especially in February. On the whole more snow." Glancing down through the notes on the coming five months we see such words as stormy, bold, bleak, damp, cold, colder, windy, blizzard, gales, wild, squalls. But then there are words like milder and a and Well there aren't very many of those.

There'll be rain Memorial Day and July 4, it says, but things will settle down for Labor Day. And for vacation planners the full moons will come along about the middle of each summer month. And Now Korea Any lingering notion that the Communist world doesn't operate as a unit was dispelled when Communist North Korea accused South Korea of planning an invasion. With the West's attention focused on the Far East and Hungary, trouble in the Far East would thoroughly scramble the eggs and make everyone cross-eyed trying to look in both directions. But it is no less dangerous for being preposterous.

Red Korea's attack in 1950 came after such propaganda claims. And just as the height of world revulsion against the Soviet Union's slaughter of Hungarians, Moscow shifted attention from that crime by threatening intervention in the Near East. That's the way the Communists work around the world. With Russian troops pouring into East Germany and massing on the Polish border, with the only military powers of Western Europe occupied in the Near East, complete havoc could be brought to all nations by the renewal of the war in Korea. But we should not again be thrown off balance merely by treats.

It's part of the Communist strategy to keep us off balance. Travel is essential if Congress is to function as it should. But the "boss" and the public is the boss is entitled to a more detailed report on expenditures than it gets. Des Moines Register. The most useful activity of the United Nations is just existing, of providing a central forum where all sides can meet, talk and work together.

Brynner was a trapeze artist in his circus days and right now he is flying high on a new trapeze swing success. But Yul doesn't think success can be measured by either money or fame. "Earning a decent living at the work you enjoy while you try to grow up as a human being that is my idea of success," he said, "and I wish all men had it. Work is such a big part of your life, and millions live by doing work they are indifferent to. I feel sad for them." Yul said the greatest advice he ever received in life was given by the French writer Jean Coc-teau, who told him: "Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level and on their level they'll beat you every time." influence with his own party will still be great." So far as 1960 is concerned, the presidential candidates chosen by both parties will have to fit the then-existing conditions.

Senator Kefauver may not have a chance against newcomers like Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts, former Mayor Clark of Philadelphia, and some governors in Democratic states who may be in the limelight in 1960. Senator Humphrey of Minnesota may be the candidate of the "liberal" wing. As for Vice President Nixon, if fate should put him in the White House before 1960. he would naturally be a candidate to succeed himself and the Republican Party would nominate him. But if Tom Dewey decides to run for governor of New York in 1958 and beats Governor Harriman decisively, he will have staged a real comeback and could be an important factor in the presidential race two years later.

Nor is William Know-land of California, Republican leader of the Senate, to be disregarded as a potential candidate. He is one of the finest men in public life an excellent speaker, a man of precision in his public statements, and a conscientious exponent of deep-seated convictions on national and international questions. He is highly respected in Congress by both parties. The important point is that the times and the issues will determine the candidates in both partiesnot what they did or said in 1956. Four years can make a whale of a difference in the mood of the country.

As a frenzied Railway Postal Clerk, I know that people would never use 'City' if they could realize how often it causes letters to go astray. "Also, if people could stand just one tour of duty assorting letters in a bouncing and swaying mail car, I am sure that they would wear off abbreviations of state names forever. "A few -hours of reading the wavering hen-track handwriting of the average writer would teach one that and even can look wonderously alike, as can Penn. and N.Y. and N.J., Me.

and Ind. and Ut. and Vt. "If you pass out any more advice, especially to the pen-pushers using post offices pens please tell them to take an extra second or two and write the entire address P-L-A-I-N-L-Y. Better still, print it in simple letters.

"Pennsylvania should always be so that even the most myopic mail clerk will have no excuse for sending your letter to some town in Tennessee. Iowa, Utah, and the other short names should always be spelled out in full. "But above all, tell 'em to write or print the entire address P-L-A-I-N-L-Y." This is timely advice for all of us who will, very shortly, be flooding the mails with our Christmas packages and messages of love and good cheer. I should also like to add these additional pointers: 1. If you must use a signature that looks like several superimposed fever charts, please print or type your name legibly underneath.

2. In placing your name and address on return coupons, order blanks, print, not write, and print it P-L-A-I-N-L-Y. 3. Never address an envelope, card, or package in pencil. It smudges too easily, and usually becomes illegible.

4. Always place your full name and correct return address on everything you send through the mail. Otherwise, your letter, card, or package may end up at the dead-letter office. By DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON There are lots of fallacies being spread now about the trends in American politics, based on a superficial glance at last week's election returns. One is that there' is something inherently "weak" about the Republican Party and that the Democratic Party, with its irreconcilable divisions and control of certain committee chairmanships by Southern leaders, is to be regarded somehow as a "stronger" party.

Another is that a president, when elected to a second term, loses his influence with his party. A third is that Vice President Nixon and Senator Kefauver are sure bets for the 1960 presidential nominations. The available evidence on each and a realistic examination of the customs of American politics refutes every one of these assump- tions. Thus, the Republican Party evidently was not the "weaker" party in the Eastern states, where old-line Republicans decisively beat Democrats for Congress who had been elected in the recession of 1954. Likewise, Mr.

Eisenhower himself dropped several points from his 1952 majority of 70 per cent and 65 per cent in some of the farm districts of Western states. In some instances he was in the minority himself in congressional districts where the Republican candidates for Congress lost. He was just as "weak" as his party jn many areas. AH this clearly proves that, when the Republicans are in power, they must have good economic conditions uniformly good throughout the country and must capture at' least two-thirds of the seats in the North in order to get even a working majority of 25 seats in the House. This is because the Democrats start out each time with 65 to 70 seats unopposed in the South.

Actually, according to the latest returns, the Republicans last Tuesday won 200 seats in the House as against 169 by the Democrats apart from the uncontested districts in the South. The final figures show that the Republicans -won 17 Senate contests and the Democrats 12. There were six uncontested Senate seats in the South. Yet now the boast is heard that the Democrats are the "stronger" party and this in the face of the fact that the Northern Democrats in Congress will vote in January to give the chairmanships of the committees, indeed the machinery of control in both houses, to the minority faction of Democrats who are committed by the voters of the South to block civil-rights legislation. sfc sfc sje The next fallacy about the supposed declines of presidential influence in a second term is one that Adlai Stevenson tried to use as a campaign argument.

If accepted, it would logically mean that no president on either ticket ought ever to be elected for a second term. But an examination of the records will show that President Theodore Roosevelt, who had eliminated himself as a candidate -ior a third term, virtually nominated in 1908 his successor William Howard Taft who never had been elected to public office before. Recent history is even more to the point. President Truman in 1952, after he had eliminated himself as a candidate for another term, could have blocked the nomination of anybody and influenced the choice of the man he favored -as revealed in his memoirs. No president loses influence for a single day if he stands well with the people.

His power with public opinion is such that he can shape political events by an outspoken declaration on any issue. His party will follow him rather than risk an uprising at the polls in the next election by the people who agree with a president's viewpoint. Mr. Eisenhower said in a recent press conference: "Certainly, whoever is the aspirant at the end of two terms for president will want that president's support, and will want his blessing as he seeks any nomination and election I do believe that the office, the power that goes with it, is such that his Side Glances By Galbraith Nov. 13, 190650 Years Ago Emmett B.
