5-Yr. Census Would Help Ariz. By REP. STEWART UUALL Ind Ariz. Congressional DM.

FOR THE PAST 10 DAYS or so, every person in Ihe United States Though increasing their share should have been involved in one 10 5 18 had special censuses since 1950 on agriculture (every five years), in order to get more up-to-date on manufactures, mineral indus- lotals. tries. and business. Bui the populalion count is the most important of these--and the the union from up-to-date Today's Editorial-Commerce in Free World Can Build New Strength When Uie United States and its free friends are compared unfavorably with the Soviet Union in such matters as missile-space development, education and the like, we are fond of saying that, whatever we do, we must not ape the dictorial methods of communism. The warning is fundamentally wise.

Yet we must not let it serve as excuse for following well worn grooves, for simply doing business as usual and shrugging off the need for extraordinary effort. In many areas of 1960 life, massive expenditures of energy and imagination is called for. We need new ap- proaches, bigger programs, more will to achieve. Once such field is that of co-ordinate economic'effort among the Western nations. Continental Europe has-made astounding strides toward a unified economy.

But neither Britain nor the United States is as closely linked with it the Communist economic threat would seem to demand. It is particularly unfortunate that the British have not yet found a sensible key to economic unity with the continent. Attitudes are somewhat improved, but basically the effort bogs down in technicalities relating to tariff, currency, and other specific problems. It is no comfort in this situation to reaffirm nobly that "we don't do things the way the Communists do." The frightening fact is that the joint economic potential of Russia and Red China menaces us all. These two have their important differences, and therein lies much hope for the West.

But we cannot bank on this prospect. We must prepare to contend with their combined economic weight. This we cannot dp if we go on and on bickering over "intramural" difficulties. Our goal--a free world economy sufficiently unified to more than balance the Communist threat--must take clear precedence over all lesser considerations. What will it matter is Euroie's immense resources and skills have been saved from direct Communist control, if they cannot be sensibly employed in a vast, collaborative free world endeavor that will not only keep freedom strong where it now exists but nourish its growth among the struggling, underdeveloped millions on liberty is the prize, it is no time to haggle over narrow economic We must keep our eye on the main chance.

Add income tax injustices: a divorced or separated father who pays S25 a week for the support of three children is allowed 51,800 a year in exemptions, while one who pays 575 a week for one child is only S600: if the total sums were made deductible, this would not only lie fairer to those who qivc more for support, but would also encourage higher payments for children.

An insurance policy is a contract. The company promises to pay you a certain sum for loss or damage of Uie thing you insure-your life, your home, your heallh and the like.

ONE OF THE CHIEF differences between the sexes is that men regret what they lost, while women regret what they never had. Coleridge concisely explained the reason for so much irrationality in the history of humanity, when he observed, "Only the wise possess ideas; the greater part of mankind are possessed by them." It is hard lo believe a man is acting decently when we know we would not behave as decently in his place; in this way. cynicism abnut the motives of others is usually based on candid self-appraisal. The familiar phrase "the pursuit of happiness" should be reversed to read "the happiness of pursuit" for joy is to be found in the quest, more than in the goal. THE SUREST SIGN' of a weak personality is the habit of generalizing from insufficient evidence -the man or woman who runs down the opposite sex because of a betrayal or disappointment in one person is revealing more about his own character than about the opposite sex.

One of the most hideous of modern jargon words is the use of "siblings" for brothers and sisters; it arises, however, because English has no single word meaning "brothers and sislcrs" collectively. The two biggesl bores are women who complain of sickness, and men who boast of health; a vein of robustness in the former, and a touch of frailty in the latter, make them both more socially appetizing creatures.
