The Daily Record EDITORI-U P'A How Will You Be Counted? A record outpouring of voters, possi- bly as many as 65,000,000, will cast bal- lots tomorrow in the presidential elec- tion. Will YOU be one of them? Or will you be counted among the stax-at-home citizens who prefer to save their energies until AFTER the election to criticize the actions of those elected to power? The failure of millions of people to exercise their sacred right to vote is one of the reasons for weak candidates often being elected to office. Americans still enjoy more freedom and more opportunity than any people who have ever lived. But the question is: for how much longer shall we en- joy our freedom and our opportunity? Most of us seem to act as if the priv- ilsge of freedom arid opportunity are rights. Even more, most of us take them for granted and act as if they were permanent possession which can never be taken away from us.

Noth- ing could he more wrong. In the entire history of human life, freedom and opportunity have been unique, hard-fought privileges earned and enjoyed only by a minority who have kept fighting to retain them. Since the rise of Communism more and more people of the earth have been enslaved: some who once enjoyed free- dom, some who only glimpsed it, some to whom freedom was never known. The latter never fight for their own freedom, because they've never known what freedom is. We who still enjoy freedom must fight for it if we want to keep it.

In all the World America is the strong- est bastion of freedom and opportunity that prevents world domination by the Communist slave slate. How strong we remain determines whether America and Americans will survive. And right now, it is far later than most of us think. Keeping freedom and opportun- ity alive within America is the re- sponsibility of every individual. Kight now that responsibility is still comparatively easy to discharge.

It means having the courage of one's convictions. It means standing up and being counted in elections: local, state and na- tional, in union elections, in school elec- tions, in elections in any group or organ- ization. Fortunately, it does not yet mean risking one's life against the treachery of armed Communism. But it will come to that sooner than you think if we as individuals do hot take the trouble to defend freedom and opportunity here at home while ve still have it by voting in the coming elec- tions and all that follow. AUtn-Scott Report Bonus For Victor By Robert S.

Allen and I'aul Scott Washington Tlie winner of tomorrow's tense presidential election has an unusual victory bonus await- ing him. The sident will be able to gain con- trol of prac- tically all of the ma- jor regula- tory a cies of ment wilhin six months after he takes office next Jan. 20. That's an exceptional situa- tion, and quite different from Opinions Of Other" Editors The Lost Frontier Whatever became of the New Frontier? The election is not many days away; yet in all the millions words, Senator 'Ken- nedy has neglected to unveil anything re- sembling his promised bold new plan for a brave new world. That might be considered par for an election-year course, and certainly we do not mean to say that Vice President Nixon Is offering anything startling novel, But it is Mr.

Kennedy 'who is attacking what Mr. Nixon must to a considerable ex- tent defend, Mr. Kennedy who insists he will get a supposedly stagnant America off dead- and charging Into the New Frontier, Mr. Kennedy who says this is one of the most fateful elections, at horns and abroad, In American history. So what have we been hearing from Mr.

Kenedy? An assortment of political prom- ises proffered to old folks, farmers, commun- ities; the rugged. pork barrel, honored only by time; more foreign aid; much more Fed- eral spending in general, along with artificially "cheap" money. This is the New Frontier? This is how to move America forward? It sounds like nolh- Ing so much as the recipe for the Thirties, which has little Indeed to do with the prob- lems of the Sixties. In Mr. Elsenhower's phrase, America Is asked to go "galloping in reverse" to this thing called a New Frontier.

Not only is this program largely irrelevant; it can do harm to try to apply the nostrums of the Thirties to today's problems in the mis- taken belief the situations are the same. In these 30 years the U.S. has had a surfeit of Federal interventions and controls, of reckless Government spending and inflation-breeding Government deficits. It is not true that this process can go in- definitely without real trouble; signs of trouble are already' apparent in the foreign fears about the stability of the dollar If inflationary policies are again to he pursued here. To impose a new inflation 'On this nation just as it has been achieving a considerable degree of price stability would be a cruel joke.

It would not achieve the higher rate of real economic growth in the name of which it would be undertaken. It would hardly help the U.S. in Its foreign relations, the area in which Mr. Kennedy Is to particularly inter- ested. What, In fact, docs Mr.

Kennedy offer in the foreign field? He has expressed some debatable views on purely tactical matters re- garding places like Quemoy and Cuba; also some rather foggy notions about "saving" Africa and India with much more aid. nut nowhere Is there anything; that could be called a new foreign policy. Es- sentially the Kennedy policy is a con- tinuation ot the Elsenhower policy of re- sisting Communism. Where it differs It Is not a newness BO much as oldncVs; it has overtones of a former time when this country WM more disposed to take Com- munist words at lafce value. If It Is new, It is In the rather simple as- sumption that a still more centralized Ameri- can Government can somehow right all the world's wrongs.

Reliance on Government Is, Indeed, the key to the New Frontier. More and more Gov- ernment will solve ail problems; the farm problem, for example, will be solved by tak- ing over the farmers. Unfortunately Mr. Ken- nedy gives little evidence that he recognizes any limit at all to Government enlargement. --Wall Street Journal George Sokolsky Says Uncommitted Vote The decision in 1960 puzzles the pollsters because of the enormous size of the uncommit- voters.

Actually, it is elieva- ble mat many voters should by now, know whether they are going to vote for Nix- on or nedy. Why, then, do they not declare themselves? In (he first place, many state that they arc uncertain because they favor or oppose one or the other for reasons which they themselves reject subconscious- ly. Among such emotional re- sponses are the religious issue, the beauty contest, the glihncss of the debates. Thus, the uncommitted voter is holding off saying how he is going to vote because he antici- pates that he may make a last moment change. Usually, in Presidential elections, ihcrc are few a moment changes.

James Farley goes by the rule that the voter's decision is gen- erally made just after the con- ventions. That has not been true Ihis year. New York State, with its 15 electoral votes, is a big prize in this campaign. Vice President Nixon left the management of that state to Governor Rocke- feller and Senator Jacob Javits. It was most unfortunate because neither of them has done any- thing like an adequate job for Richard Nixon.

Senator Javits knows New York City politics and the very complicated racial and religious complex of this largest city of the nation. Professionals of both parlies say that he was sabo- taged both as to timing and as io the centers he If Vice President Nixon car- ries New York City or New York State, it will be because of the religious' issue. Unfortunately this was revived by two factors: One. the insistence of tlie Pucrti Rican Roman Catholic bishops that it is a sin to vote for Gov- ernor Luis Munoz Marin because he favors birth control and se- cular schools. No matter what happens in Puerto Rico, the attention paid to the activities of these bishops on two Sundays, the failure of the Vatican to denounce them, and the widespread use ot heir activities by Republican propa- ganda helped Nixon.

The other factor is that va- rious organizations of bigots have accelerated their propa- ganda of hate. Many Catholics who dislike John Kennedy dislike even more. the anti-Catholic propaganda. They will vote for Kennedy not because they pre- fer Kennedy as much as they take umbrage at anti-Catholic- ism. Those who an; conducting tho anti-Catholic propaganda arc not Republicans.

They are Prot- estants wild sincerely and fan- atically believe that the Itoman Curia dictates the conduct of Pvcry covernmrnt headed by a Catholic-. Religious movcmcnls usually run deep and when they come to the surface, their impetus can be riotous. It is unfortun- ate that at a time like this, in world affairs, such a question should arise in the United Slates. It is not likely to die down soon. For what has been raised in this campaign are many local issues, suc-h as the large in- crease in parochial schools and high schools, Ihc use of public buses by children going to pa- rochial schools, tax exemption for church property, etc.

These questions have nothing to do with Hie Presidential cam- paign but they art the el- Hitting Back In Strong Terms Irresponsible Charge Dear Sir: The record shows that tuch I have listened with regret to bills were presented in his the irresponsible charge cited absence were passed by major- against our Congressman from votes in Ule hundreds and Easton and though he needs no unimportant to this area. defense with most of us, still his ubll rpcord is I would like to present a few to a wonder how much known of the individual service rendered tte Uttle In work durlr the TM I came contact with hundreds le dai 'y a TM ot lo re noled tnat lhe it came to a helping hand. He has myriads ot friends who know him for a fair, honest gentleman who will always ex- tend them a helping hand if possible. He is well fects of the hate campaign against Catholicism. Should John Kennedy be elect- ed, the Republican Party will immediately face a battle for control between Senator Barry Goldwaler, the Conservative leader, a nd Governor Nelson Rockefeller who will move to the left of the Democrats.

Whereas Goldwaler's concep- tion of tlie loyal opposition will be for Congress to put a brake on the expenditures of an in- flationary Democratic Adminis- tration. Rockefeller is likely to contend Uiat the Democrats are not doing enough. Most of me remaining Repub- licans will follow Goldwatcr, but Rockefeller will immedi- ately put his presently quiescent organization in high gear to capture the 19G4 nomination of his party. A Nixon victory would, at any rate, continue the Eisenhowcr- Nixon image of the party; a Nixon defeat would also be an Eisenhower defeat. The Con- servatives, Goldwater.

would seek Democratic support because Republican Conserva- tives arc weary of being asso- ciated with radical Keynesian Republicans as Senator Jacob Javits, Clifford Case, etc. They want a party which can have a clear-cut, distinct, mean- ingful program. They will, wherever they can, form an al- liance with Conservative Demo- crats. They will therefore watch the vole in Virginia more close- ly than the vote in New York; to thorn Texas is more signifi- cant than Qilifornia. Markin Time facts.

East Stroudsburg, Pa, Wage Tax Is Issue And if my party should be wrong, I look at and wink. Then thoughtlessly, I go along, Because I do nol dare to think. Dear Mr. Editor: As a taxpayer and registered voter of Monroe County and k'cenly interested in affairs poli- tic, I take exception to tlie fol- lowing, and would appreciate your printing such in your "Let- ters to the Editor" column: On Thursday, November 3, there appeared in your paper the coverage of a talk before the Middle Smithfield Democratic Club, by Rep. Van D.

Yetter. un- der the heading "Yetter Against Wage Tax." Yctter stated: that he will not vote for a state wage tax." "the wage tax is really not an in this election." I not only beg to differ with Rep. Van D. Yetter on this state- ment--but challenge him that it is. When Yctter- campaigned for his present term in office, he ran-advcrtiscments in the Daily Record in which he stated that he would not vote for a wage tax.

Now, let's see just how that worked out. On Aug. 11. ira. it was an- nounced that the House of Rep- resentatives passed the Law- rcncc-sponsorcd State Graduated Income Tax Bill--with a solid Democratic backing.

Several days later-August 17. Rep. Van D. Yctter str.tcd that he voted for this measure. Therefore.

Rep. Van D. Yetter is in grave error when he states to tho people of Monroe County that this wage tax is not an issue in Ihis election." It is an issue--and will remain so--unless we have men who will stand up and vote no! and fulfill the pledge they made the people back home. Kortimaloly, for the groat mass of people of this Common- wealth--we have a State Consti- tution which various Monday, Nov. 1, 1960 political factions from forcing their will upon the people in that this proposed State Gradu- ated Income Tax must first pass several sessions of the Legisla- ture before they can bring it to a referendum ballot.

Shall we let this come to pass? It appears that the present state administration is bent on taxing the working man and his family out of existence--as tills proposed State Graduated In- come Tax will inflict another cut into family income. The undersigned is committed to serve on a committee dedi- cated to keeping an accurate record of the various candidates in office for the coming term. Only in this way will the people have a clear and accurate pic- ture of how these candidates voted on the various bills passed --with particular attention to tax measures in ilarrisburg. In closing, I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the Daily Record in printing the above. DOUGLAS J.

Miss Taylor recalls: "In school at the studio, we weren't even allowed to stop to daydream. So I used to es- cape to the girls' room to day- dream."

i- graine used to mean one-sided headaches--tlie word migraine is French' for "half the head." But the march of medicine has trampled this half-head meaning into the ground. Today's migraine can be one- sided, both-sided or no-sided. Special tummy aches con- sidered "abdominal migraine," even though the head feels fine. Many Symptoms Migraine isn't just any head- ache. It throbs and thumps often one-sided still! Black blind spots, cold blue skin, a bound- ing pulse and a nervous stom- ach all add to migraine's 'mis- ery.

Usually, automatic nerves in- sure smooth control of blood vessels and internal organs. These nerves--called autonomic nerves--constantly relay signals from unconscious brain cells which never sleep. circuits, overloaded lines or just plain plastic can break down this mysterious bio- logical automation. Blood ves- sels shrink and tighten without reason. Stomach and intestines shift into high gear, back up or stop altogether.

The heart either zooms ahead or sloes down to under sixty. Hammer-Like Pulso Migrains headaches are also triggered by this overload autonomic nervous system. Cer- tain blood vessels inside the brain clamp off cramp-prevent- ing Other arteries stretch and relax until each heartbeat pounds with a ham- mer-like pulse. Mixed up autonomic nervf a manufacture migraine's other symptoms. Black spols and bright flashes explode when spastic arteries detour blood away from the eyes.

A tummy full of tangled autonomic nerves easily explains abdominal mi- graine. Short Circuits These overloaded short cir- cuits can goose-pimple the skin, make your mouth water and vomiting all at oncn. Through troubled autonomic nerves, European doctors are trying to link migraine with high blood bald- ness and premature graying. Now what disrupts nervous automation? All sorts of monkey-wrenches can foul up this biological ma- chinery. Epilepsy can trigger convulsion-like autonomic sig- nals.

Allergy can bypass all the waring and make its own chem- ical signals. Many victims inherit some special susceptibility. The trou- bled mind often throbs with migraine. Instead of blowing your top, fierce headaches ex- plode. What Helps? Aspirin can take the edge off mild migraine, but real re- lief lies in prescriptions for ergot-like drugs.

Ergot chemi- cals tighten blood vessels until throbbing stops. You bounce back as your pulse loses its bounce. Newer drugs some- times help, but not as regular- ly as ergot. Personality soothing prevent future migraine. Drugs, talk and hypnotism have all been used to smooth out emo- tional wrinkles.

They don't really smooth anything; they merely move the wrinkles else- where. But It still feels mighty good when those throbbing wrinkles are pushed away from the head. Mirror of Time THE DAILY RECORD Established April 2, 1SU4 HORACE G. HELLER, General Manager JOHN F. HILL, Editor ROBERT L.

But the next President will have two vacancies to fill, thus giving him a majority of this highly important Board. One vacancy is immediate, resulting from tlie Senate Labor Committee's pigeon-holing of the President's selection of Arthur Kimball for a five-year term. The other opening, is the expir- ation in August of the term of Joseph Jenkins.

By June the new President will be able to name three of the five' members of this agency that has extensive authority over electric and natural gas rales.
