Help For Wayward Editor's Opinion A constructive achievement of the John Anderson administration and thti 1963 Legislature concerns the handling of young Jawbreakers. The most important of the three purposes of our penal system is to make good citizens out of poor ones, The others are to deter crime by certain punishment and to protect society against hardened transgressors. After many painful experiences, Kansas has learned that if a prison ruins a man's life or graduates him into further crime, then the system is a costly failure. Kansas also has found out that many -youthful offenders get into trouble because they are untrained for a job, lack of several kinds, or are in -need of psychiatric help. It has discovered that in many, if not all, instances, the young offender -can be treated and trained so that he may return to his community and be- a substantial member of it.

But such rehabilitation can't be accomplished in the old style prison. To out a. program that would save both human beings and tax dollars, modern facilities are required. The Legislature has appropriated $120,000 to plan such a new institution with the emphasis on vocational and academic training of young men who can be helped. This'is a sound concept and should I be supported by Kansas through to fruition.

Bargain It's a reasonable guess that the house owned by the average Salinan is assessed by the taxman at about $3,000. It's also reasonable to assume that the average Salina household contains two children of school age. On this basis, with a $31.87 levy, this average taxpayer will pay $95.61 toward the city schools next year, or $47.81 per child for two semesters of education. This is 26 cents a school day. Of course, this same householder pays other taxes that go in part for schools, direct taxes like the sales tax, indirect taxes reflected in the cost of utilities, groceries and merchandise.

Even so, for him public education is a bargain. Sylvia Porter: "Your Money's Worth" Pearson's Opinion Kefauver Stood Strong (Editor's Noie: Drew Pearson has gone abroad to interview world leaders and re; port on the prospects for'peace. The Wash- ington scene is covered by his associate, Jack Anderson.) WASHINGTON If President Kennedy should choose to expand'his'book; "Profiles in Cour- age," I suggest he write about the only man who ever bested him in politics, who took the Vice Presidential nomination away from him In 1956: the late Sen. Estes Kefauver This Lincoln of a man, homespun, ungainly, often stood alone in the United States Senate. But he' stood tall.

Consider these flashbacks: Flashback, 1956--Kefauver dug deep into his own pocket mortgaging his home and hiV ing out as a lecturer, to pay ett old campaign bills. Yet as presidential' candidate in 1956, despite his campaign poverty, he refused a Anderson 000 contribution with strings attached. All he had to do was condemn, in a public tpeech. a United Nations pronouncement against Israel. This would be worth $10,000 to his destitute campaign, he was told.

But Ke' fauver. though' pro-Israel, refused to bargain for his contributions. 1954 The late Senator Joe Me- Carthy threatened to attack Kefauver in Tennessee, painting him as a political pink if accepted an invitation to speak against McCarthy in Wisconsin. Estes took up the warning with his staff listened silently as each one begged him not to pick a fight with McCarthy on the eve of the Tennessee elections. He thanked them for their advice, then his decision: "McCarthy is bad for the country I reckon I'll have to say so." Minority Of One Flashback, 1954 Stung, by charges they were soft on Communism, Democratic Sen; alors introduced a bill to outlaw the Communist party and dared the Republicans to vote for it This would have subjected people to prosecution because of their political beliefs.

But the Republicans accepted the challenge and lined up unanimously with the Democrats for the bill. Only Kefauver, refusing to play politics, stood against it. I His anguished political advisers warned that his stand would be misinterpreted back home that he would be called a Red. 'The least you can do," begged a friend, phoning from Tennessee, "is duck out on the Tote." But the final rollcall was 81 to Kefauver was the lone dissenter. (Later, the bill was pigeonholed after FBI Chief J.

Edgar Hoover joined Kefauver in warning that it not only would be uncontitu- tlonal but would drive the Communists under- ground.) I Flashback, 1952 the presidential race, Kefauver bucked the party bosses, beat all comers in the primaries, and entered the Democratic convention with the most pledged delegates. Still, he needed more support to win the nomination. Texas Governor Allen Shivers, boss of the big Texas delegation, chose this crucial moment to pay a secret call on Kefauver. Shivers want: ed to know how the Senator felt about turn; ing the tidelands over to the states, so the big oil companies could drill for oil. No Deal Would Kefauver sgree to lot congress decide OK issue and not use the veto if he were I elected president? No, said Kefauver.

Would Kefauver agree to turn offshore oil over to the states within a three-mile limit? No, Kefauver said again. Thus Texas slipped irretrievably from his grasp. And he lost the nomination on the third after leading the first two. Flashback, 1930 Digging into organized crime, Kefauver turned over a compost pile of gangland-political connections. Deep in the pile was a $2,500 contribution thai crime Czar Frank Coslello had given to the Democratic National committee in 1947.

"Ii this to be brought out at the public hearings?" demanded Democratic leaders. "It Is," said the Senator. And it was. FIa.hb.ck, 1949 Though a Southerner, Kafaner managed to stir up the mighty wrath of the south by supporting civil rights Icgis- lation. When a resolution was offered to curb Senate filibusters, Kefauver at once announced support for it.

Thus the Senate was treated to the unusual spectacle of a Senator speaking with southern accent against the filibuster. Flashback, 1920 Kefauver came out of the" Tennessee hills to the University of Tennessee, a straw suitcase in one hand, a cap perched atop his head. Tightly drawn against his huge bulk was an ill-fitting suit, which seemed red in one light, green in another. Across his chest in a neat row were all the ribbons Estes had accumulated for perfect attendance at Sunday School. Clothes Disappear He was greeted by a cousin, Thomas Walker who dutifully brought Kefauver into his fraternity.

That alternating red-and-green, mail- order suit offended the eyes of Estes' fraternity brothers. (Not to mention his yellow shoes, his shrunken cap, his array of Sunday School pins.) Solemnly, they conspired to swipe Kefauver's colorful clothes and force him to buy a new wardrobe. Thus began the mystery of the missing duds, which was to puzzle Estes throughout his freshman year. He would return from class to find a pair of orange socks gone. A week later his shoes disappeared.

Then his cap. And one night, while he slept, the miracle suit of two colors vanished into the night. From this unlikely beginning, Estes Kefauver went on to become editor of the college newspaper, president of the Junior class, president of the All-Students club, president of the Southern Federation of College Students, and a football star who earned the affectionate nickname, "Old Ironsides." He continued on to Yale and academic glory. He became a corporation lawyer, a congressman, a senator and a presidential candidate. But he never lost touch with the Tennessee hills, with the everyday people who make up the backbone of America.

They are the ones now who will miss him the most. this that by j.p.h. i i i Astronaot wasn't good word coinage to begin with, but it continues in official use although it is worn out.

Complete security, both social and otherwise, is only to be found through a life 'term in a well run pen- itentiary, as has been said' before. An added jph advantage is there is only one number to remember. There some good to be found in everyone, if you look hard enough. Governor Wallace of Alabama, with all his shortcomings, is not a complete segregationist He has not recommended parallel highways throughout his state, one marked "White" and other "Colored." Friend of ount tells us he has reached the age where he must make a constant effort to win new friends as replacements for the ones whose funerals he attends. Milwaukee, of course, has been made famous by a certain beer.

There are a number of other American cities, however, that have managed lo achieve fame without the help of a brewery. It's suprprising that the British Travel Agency in its latest literature has nol urged travelers to "Visit historic London -Christine Keeler's home town." As was to be expected, Texas made no protest over the ceding 0 Mexico of half a square mile nf her Rio Grande bottoms land. Now that tht title of largest state been wrested from her, what difference do few acres more or less make? Rail Dispute Talks Continued Today In Washington Keep Those Records So far this series has concentrated on what you can deduct. But, lei me wara yon again, no matter how valid your entertainment expense may be under the new rules, you will lose your deduction if yxm don't keep proper records. Basing your expense account deductions on estimates alone, under the old Cohan rule, is' finished.

Under the Cohan rule as developed by the courts, if you could prove that you had Mine deductible expenditures, though not the precise amounts, you were entitled to deduct a reasonable estimate. While the courts would weigh your own estimate against you because of yourj failure to keep records, the' net effect was to allow you to take a substantial deduc-l tion despite your failure to keep proper But the Treasury convinced Congress that this rule permitted taxpayers to deduct entertainment and traveling expenses to which they were not en- Porter titled. Congress changed the law so that If you don't have proper records now. you may lose all of your deductions. The Cohan rule was eliminated only for travel expenses away from home, entertainment expenses and business gifts, though.

You still can use the Cohan rule to justify deductions for reasonable estimates of other types of expenses, even if your records don't support them to the penny. Here is the information you must have in order to make your expense account deductions affected by the 1962 law stand up FOR TRAVELING EXPENSES: Cost, including transportation, meals and lodging, and incidentals such as telephone and telegraph, Time, including departure and return date for each trip, and the number of days away from home spent on business; Place, or places of travel, by name of city, town, etc. Business reason for trip, or nature of tht business benefit derived or expected to be derived as a result of travel to each place. FOR ENTERTAINMENT EXPENSES IN GENERAL: Cost; Time, including dale; Place or places, including name, address or location and description of the entertainment. such as dinner or theatre, if not otherwise apparent; purpose, including business reason or nature of the business benefit derived or expected to derived, from the entertainment, and the nature of any business discussion or activity.

(For "quiet business meals," nature of business discussion or activity is not required); Business rriattonship of each person entertained for whom a deduction is claimed, including name or title, occupation or other designation which shows business relationship to you. If you think you can later recall the person's title, occupation, keeping the name will be enough. You can give an examining agent the additional information. IF ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTLY PRECEDES OR FOLLOWS A SUBSTANTIAL AND BONA FIDE BUSINESS DISCUSSION, you must also have the following information in addition to what is generally required: including date and length of business discussion; Place of the discussion; Business purpose, including nature of the discussion, and business reason for the entertainment. or nature of business benefit derived or expected to be derived from the- entertainment.

Business relationship, including identification of those participating in the business discussion. In the final column of this series tomorrow, I'll explain how you should keep the required information and supporting evidence. Good Old Days The Journal Ang. 14, 194J Work which will mean the complete renovation and rearrangement of the USO center has begun.

The summer quest for a full compliment of teachers for county schools has narrowed now to four rural school instructors and social science and home economics teachers at Brookville, said Ruth Gahnstrom, county superintendent.
