Kuiiians 11:33. Sometimes we need to stop what we are doing and think about God.

When we do, we get perspective on our life. You Can't Bargain It is both strange and alarming that numbers of labor leaders, on occasion after occasion, have supported legislation which would advance socialization of enterprise in this country, or result in ever- greater government domination, of private business. If history tells us anything, It tells us that free labor and Tree enterprise are peas from the same pod. Neither can exist without the other. If government is to run the machines which supply our goods and services, then government must have dictatorial authority over the men and women who operate those machines.

Communism provides a perfect exam- ample. When the Soviet took over the factories, they took over the labor force too. All freedom of ihoire on the part of workers was outlawed, and all opposition was crushed. The labor unions became agencies of the state. It is true that some American labor leaders realize the danger that socialism presents.

Officers of the major electrical workers' union, for instance, have protested in unequivocal language against socialization of the electric industry and the public power movement in general. They have learned, from long and hard experience, that you can bargain with private business-but you can't bargain on anything resembling equal terms with government. And a strike against government amounts to anarchy. We need more labor spokesmen who realize that we must have both free enterprise and free labor if we are to have a free society. A Matter of Degree Secretary of Commerce Mueller, taking issue with a statement by Senator Paul H.

Douglas (D-I11.) laying blame on the Eisenhower Administration for failure of depressed areas in the post-convention session of Congress, undertakes in letter to the Senator to correct what he describes as "some of its errors." With respect to the measure recommended by the President, Secretary Meueller says it "originated the idea of preference' money for public facility loans and, through the Housing and Home Finance Agency, would make available to areas of chronic labor surplus twice as much money for such purpose as docs your bill." The real issue, Secretary Mueller Insists, is the fundamental difference of principle. "This," he wrote, "is the difference between those who prefer an economy controlled and regulated by an all powerful centralized government as contrasted with those who place chief reliance on private initiative and local resources to establish free private jobs in a free society. As the record shows, the Administration has repeatedly agreed to compromise and has compromised on a multitude of features affecting distressed area legislation while making plain that these fundamental Ame- erican principles must remain inviolate. The basic features of the bill to which you adhere suggests a ppurpose to achive centralized government control over the sources of production in the United States." This, we think, is a fair comparison of the basic aims of the Eisenhower Administration and those of the school of thought to which Senator Douglas belongs. But we don't think Secretary Mueller need feel too badly over failure of the Administration bill to pass.

Undoubtedly, as his discussion would suggest, it is less objectionable than the measure Senator Douglas championed. But there are those who suspct that if not in the original proposal at least in the presidential compromise to which Secretary Mueller refers, the Administration went so far as to do violence to the very principle of private initiative he so eloquently defends. Freddy'sc asc sliouldbc doubly Interesting to music teachers and parents of boys. You athletic coat-lies should banish Freddy's mistaken notion by cooperating wilh the grammar schools In the strategy outlined below. What that coach said about nimble, strung fingers is correct CASE 483: Freddy aged 11, has hecn taking piano lessons for 3 years.

"But, Dr. "rane," his mother began, "he now has developed a sudden aversion to the piano, despite the fact he is really talented. "He has played in a number of recitals and has always liked the piano previously. "So what could cause this sudden reversal?" FREDDV'S VIEWS Freddy was not as tall as most of his male classmates, he felt a bit sensitive on that basis. He yearned to be looked up to by other boys.

And lie definitely did NOT want to be considered a sissy. Unfortunately, one of his male classmates had quit his violin lessons because he said it was "sissy." Freddy then began feel that maybe his piano playing would also be a sissy hobby. In fact, his mother later informed me that several A'eeks the only way she could get Freddy to play the piano at ill waj to draw the drapes so nobody outside the house could see Freddy. So the problem is obvious. can we get Freddy to look upon playing as a masculine hobby and not a sissy chore? USE STRATEGY Answer: get some big, athletic type of man to play the piano in a crowd which includes Freddy! I It so happened that the athlet- fc coach at the local high school was a former football star.

And he also played the piano fairly well. Because a numbar of other parents in Freddy's school district were having a similar problem with their piano-playing SOILS, we used some psychology. The principal of 's grammar school invited popular high school coach to address the student assembly. In his general remarks, he had been primed to mention the fact that strong, agile fingers are a great asset in baseball, as well as football. And he emphasized the point by going to the piano on the stage platform and playing some rollicking songs.

"Watch my fingers." he advised the audience between numbers, "and see how much exercise each one obtains. "There nothing like piano or violin practice to give in- di.idual exercise to every finger!" MUSIC TEACHERS, N. You music teachers in the schools can profitably imitate this strategy, for you will render a great service to your community when you help banish the false notion among boys that music is a feminine hobby. And you big, athletic fellows can likewise perform a great educational service by sitting down in front of boys and playing the piano. Hemind the kids, too, that former President Truman played the piano as a hobby.

Boys are especially sensitive Rbout being thought i during tlie years from 10 to 14. so anticipate this mental outlook and employ psychological strategy to reassure child musicians. Actually, the foremost composers have been men, and even the leading are men. though women ostensibly mono- both fields. (Always write to Dr.

Washington Scene These Days By George Dixon UNITED NATIONS Nearly every time force my way in or out ot this international belling pot on New York's East River I wish someone would put me under house arrest. Nikita S. Khrushchev complains they've been doing that to him and I can't comprehend why he doesn't find il to his liking. Almost any form of detention would seem pre ferable to this freedom to brave threatening mobs, rearing police horses, and missiles mann factured by police horses. I lived in Manhattan most of my formative years and fancied this form of missilery had vanished with the horse cars.

The magic city seemed to typify progress. But now it appears to be hell- bent on demonstrating to the world il is teallv backward. Granted that the spectacle Khrushchev Castro, Tito and Nasser riding grandly is not heartwarming, we still ought to bear in mind they can't be jeered out of existence. All that our howling, cursing mobs are doing is building up character for them at home. However, this is about all the disanproval 1 intend to vent in this piece because I am not needed in this field of endeavor.

Plenty of others are in the disapproval-vending business and obtaining about the same results. Instead of looking askance from now on 1 will just look at the delegates. They are something weird and wonderful to loo); at. particularly from a glassed-in booth where they can't look back at you. These observation booths at the U.

N. arp harder to crash than (he studio at a Nixon-Kennedy deioate. The only way you can get in is to wear a pink badge in the shape of a trunk laa but twice as long. The instructions sav this is to be prominently displayed. You couldn't disnlnv it any other way if you sat on it.

By George E. Sokolsky Unless the management forgets all about your existence you can't remain in the booth or keep the badge vvcry long, because a posse will come for you. You will be informed your time is up. If you decline to come quietly you will be dragged outside and relieved of the pink slip, which will be handed over to one of the hundred or so waiting a turn at it. But by playing your cards craftily and pretending to be six or eight other persons.

you cai sometimes gain possession of the rosy tag for fifteen minutes half a dozen times a day. Bv looking fast, you can spot a whole lot of fascinating sights. You can see Castro up front behaving like prizefight ringsiders at Madison Square. Garden. He acts as if he might be bandying betting oddf with fellow Cubans.

Farther up the aisle, and on it, yon can sec Khrushchev beng as demure and expressionless as subpoenaed witnesses waiting lo be called to the stand at a labor rackets hearing. You can'' begin to speculate what thoughts he may be thinking; but there's no pall to the fascination trying. There never was any point in trying to read his shadow, Andrei Gromyko. It's obvious from the one-way monosyllabage where Gromyko gel? his thinking. The more you gaze down at this charivari thr greater becomes your feeling of utter unreality.

Wherever your eye rests it beholds a face thai reason tells you couldn't be there. Common sense argues it couldn't be Nassei or Tito or Macmillan, because they be just sitting there in rows like movie patrons wailing for the picture to begin. Maybe that's why the 15lh session of the U. General Assembly is upsetting New Yorkers. They can't really believe it's here.

The Trade Winds By Lou Schneider NO LAND SHORTAGE Today's sky-high suburban land prices are based on an artificial scarcity, says the housing industry magazine House Home. The land shortage for homebuilding is "nonsense" because millions of acres have been bypassed by suburban developments: new earthmoving equipment can level out hillside land: economical dredging can reclaim homesites from low-lying land; millions of vacant lots exxist in neighborhoods, and new highways are aking millions of acres easier lo reach. "Present land prices cannot be sustained unless we get a big new shot of inflation. This isn't ncarterm likely. Suburban land will sell for much less before it sells for much more."

INVESTOR'S GUIDE: There are 3.560 non- Bell thriving telephone companies serving more than half of the geographical area of the United Stales. They operate one out of seven phones in the U.S. and employ one-seventh of the industry's personnel. Most of the independents are small (with the exception of General Telephone), but their growth is assuredly the increasing population nnd higher standards of living.

To cope with rising wage scales, high casts of modern dialing and electronic equipment, the trend is mergers. It means the number of independents will he bul their earnings will benefit in the years ahead. Most noteworthy feature of the Dodge 1961 truck line is the new Dart half-Ion pickup.

HENRY CABOT LODGE It would seem lhat politicians of bolh parties are startled at Ihe popularity of Henry Cabot Lodge, the Republican candidate for Vice President. The only reason for the startle is a politicians are only too often behind the times.

Those at the top of the heap rarely calch up with the attitudes of the ordinary people who attend to their own a'ffairs and hold their own opinions. For nearly eight years, Henry Cabot Lodge has been a television star. He has been standing up to the Russians, man to man, ibating upon the issues of the day, defending his country from abuse and insult. Every day, millions of people, particularly women at work in their own homes, have had their television sets tuned in (o these debates whenever they occurred. Perhaps it started as a rebellion against the incessant bleat- i of horrible music which a i produces ad nauseam one could shriek even as the queer, dissonant voices of the- so-called undefinable singers shriek.

At any rate, these audiences saw an American give as he got. Lodge did not say, "I'll answer you tomorrow after I have had a consultation with some deskman in the State Department." He answered then and there He stood up and defended his country. And he made his answer stick. What the politicians have missed these many years is that. Ihe ordinary people of this country, the unsophisticated ones who live in communities not in enormous cities, and even many city dwellers, have never been altogether sold on idea that ill to all mankind means that the United Stales should cringe and crawl before every foreigner who rises in the United Nalions lo call Uncle Sam a BUM.

Whereas internationalism has made a deeper impression upon this country than is good for any people, it has not altogether removed all sense of self-respect and pride. Thus Henry Cabot Lodge fitted a mood. He stood up and answered back. So he became popular and the politicians missed point were looking for a photogenic Vice President who would not look as prim as Richard Nixon. When taxes arc high and the dollar is low and there is fear lhat the sons might go to war as husband and brother went to war, women, looking at television are not interested in politicians' jokes.

They want men who look serious and whose voices have a ring of sincerity. So Henry Cabot Lodge quietly became a hero and the politicians missed H. Were it not for Presidenl Eisenhower, would not'have been thought of. Perhaps Ihe President watched the United Nations debate on television, too. The Russians missed it altogether.

Of course, they do not quite understand why we have a Vice President. They do have a number of de- premiers but they are quiet, lifeless technicians do not interfere with such rulers as Stalin or Khrushchev. They cannot understand the understudy role of the Vice President; his main function of waiting around for the President to die. In Russia, presumably if a man had such a role he would make suitable arrangements not to wait too long. How little thsy know in this country is evident in the text of a radio profile of Nixon given to the Russian people on July 4, 1959: "According to press reports, the openng of the U.

S. exhibition in Moscow on July 25 will, be attended by U. S. Vice President Richard Milhouse (sic) Nixon, who was born in 1913. At University he received legal training and after completing his studies for several years was in private law practice.

Later he worked as an employee in the slate apparalus of the Republican Party. "Nixon's political career began in 1946 when, with the active support of influential Californian industrialists, he was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives from the State of Califor 'n. In .1950 he became a Senator of this state, representing the conservative wing of the Republican Party.

In 1952 the so- called Old Guard of this party insisled on nominating Nixon for the post of vice president. U. S. political history had not seen a young vice president. In 1956 Nixon was again elected to this posl.

"Being one of the top leaders of the Republican Party, he is looked upon as a very likely candidate of Ihe Republicans for Ihe post i U. S. president at the elections in the autumn of next vear." HAVE TO SELL? Phone 185 for Classified Ads Voice Off Broadway Ri nnrntku By Dorothy Kilgallen III'YA STRANGER! If you're in town lo watch the Big Show at the United Nations, or just for a shopping spree, you'll probably a relax after dark a calch Ihe New York nighl life thai can't be duplicated anywhere. The season is on. BOX offices are busy, and taxis are spinning around Manhattan full of people pleasure-pent.

Some of our cafes offer such alluring entertainment that customers queue up for it. That happens at almost every show at the Bon Soir in Greenwich Village--and small wonder. The show is so good some people have been known to catch it three nighls in a row. It has Tony and Eddie one of the best and most popular of all international acts combined with Phyllis Diller, who must be the funniest woman in the world. There is no way of describing her; she is just a flax- white blonde who comes out in a vaguely outrageous costume that might be chic on someone else, points a cigarette holder at the audience, and talks.

When she talks, the audience screams. It's as simple as that. Better make a reservation or you'll find yourself with a small table on the curbstone; it's not that they don't want your business, but the walls don't expand--and every body seems to have heard about the bill. For more laughs, we direct your attention lo a young man named Danny Apolinar, who plas'S the piano and sings in unique fashion at the Left Bank. Someone described him as "a cross between Jerry Lewis and Pat Suzuki" and that's pretty apt; accompanied by a bass player and drummer who get into the spiril of Ihe whole Ihing.

Danny is tunny, sprite-like and a very good singer. He imitates Piaf, belts out a rhythm tune with the energy of Bobby Short (nobody sleeps while he's on!) and can be persuaded to do a spoof on rock 'n' roll that is so accurate it probably would be an instant hit if he recorded it. Al- lernaling with this madness 'on the podium is handsome Eddie Hazel, who plays a fine guitar and sings as well as he plays. The town has a splended new restaurant-- La Caravelle, on 55lh St. just West of 5th Ave.

Small, bright and made gay with amusing murals, it's owned by two graduates of Ihe Henri Soule school, Freddie and Robert, so quite naturally the food and wine are of gourmet quality. The night I was in, Bernard Baruch was at a nearby table, which gives you an idea of the clientele. No music, no entertainment, jusl gracious dining. Never been to Europe? Try a couple of hours at the Basin Street East. Betty Hutton's legs are worth the price of admission, but she lays down a lot of solid entertainment in case you don't feel like reserving a table just to see a pair of beautiful gams.

I was the first to shudder in print when Belly had an act that combined the worst of Al Jolson and Sophie Tucker, but this time around she's the real Betty Button, doing the songs she likes best and does best, shaking her bugle beads frenetically, and working smoothly with a groim of singing boys, including one of the Andy Williams Brothers. She's a professional and appealing performer--not to be missed. The Inner You By Anno Heywood IN TIMES of mental depression it is often better to do something--even the wrong thing-than to do nothing at all. Most of us have periods in our lives when the bottom falls out of things and the future looks almost as gloomy as the past. Do mething If we sit there thinking along these lines, we paralyze ourselves into the kind of inertia that can become a life work at such.a time it seems to me we are better off taking some kind of step lhan taking none.

One of my readers has been feeling that way lately. She lost her husband, and her children are all married and away from home. Most of her friends still have their husbands, so she fee's like a fifth wheel everywhere. Should Find Job Obviously, she should find some kind of job or, since she does have a comfortable income, at least a volunteer job which would hold her interest: "But." she kept telling me, "I can't even decide what to do. I just seem to be in a big, dark blur." It was then I suggested that she take a stab at anything that came along.

Cheerful Letter Recently I was delighted.to get a letter which had a much more cheerful note. She said: "1 really did what you suggested and it came about in a most peculiar way. "I was walking along the street in my usua' aimless way when I passed Singer Sewing Ala- chine store. They were offering six free patterns which were designs for decorating little girls' dresses. They were cute and, because they were, free and attractive, I picked them up.

I later found that they were being offered at all Singer stores right now. "When I got home, 1 dug through the yards and yards of material that I used to collect and. while I didn't find anything for dresses, I did find some pale blue muslin that would be perfect for curtains in a child's room. "I cut out appliques of the duck pattern and sewed them along the hem of the curtains. The curtains did look very attractive, and I suddenly realized that I had been working for five hours without feeling blue or doing any morbid clock watching.

"I sent the curtains off lo my daughter for her oldest girl, and was surprised to get not a letter, but a delighted telephone call from her. Orders, From Children "Now all the children want some, and it looks as though I have my hands full for a while sewing up curtains all of them." For all I know, this woman may day hive a home business, sewing such attractive wares. And all because she dropped into a slore on the spur of the moment.

The Capitol Today By Doris Fleeson WASHINGTON Administration hopes oi impressing the United Nations and helping Vice- Presidenl Richard Nixon by a spectacular space success have faded. Another moon shot failed last week end, the sixth setback in seven such tries by the civilian space agency.

Its experts believe they have done all they can at present, although a late October effort is still possible. They are naturally unhappy over their failure, but relaxation of the intense political pressures on them lo gel fast results will be welcomed. The refusal lo give conquest of space a higher priority in the struggle for the defense dollar was President Eisenhower's. He thought other pro jeds more important and did not want to ask for bigger appropriations. Many industrialists still think he made the correct decision and argue lhat too much emphasis Is being put on space and not enough on solid triumphs in the missile rocket But the politicians who live much closer to the asYrations and fears of the American people see it differently.

Democrats complained lhat. (he Administration had underestimated Russian capabilities and failed to foresee the propaganda triumphs that might and did accrue to tliem Republicans tacitly acknowledged the political difficulty by heavy pressure for American results in space before November. The Vice-President today Is stuck with the sit- uatign, just as Democrats were stuck in 1952 wilh the pro-Korean war budget framed by Louis Johnson. Nixon is not lo be blamed for looking for the brighter side and developing it as convincingly as he can. His position now lies in trying to limit the political debate about what was, in thefin al analysis, a political decision that the American economy could not sustain a larger defense budget.

Sen. John Kennedy has disdained Nixon's contention thai discussion of Ihe country's plain and evident shortcomings in defense lies in some ill- defined realm of anti-Americanism, especially while Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev is here. The supreme illogic of the Nixon argument if lhat it does allow Khrushchev control of Hie American Presidential campaign. Kennedy's problem is lo frame the debate in terms acceptable to the voters. The electorate gives every sign of being sensibly apprehensive of current dangers, but the sanguine American temperament has always resisted the pessimists He has gol to make them sweat over the hart" facfs but at the'same time make them feel he can overcome them.

The required combination of Job and Mr. Fix It will tax his political skill. It is the topic much anxious discussion among his advisers some of whom want him to trample firmly on Nixon himself. Thisd oes not fit tho image Ken nedy has of the Presidency or of himself. He has however, shown supreme realism in his polities' career so far and, once convinced, would not hesitate to shift ground.

Nixon's political agility is very much greater He flies lightheartedly from Hie, Deep South to a pivotal state, and he does well in both, though their elected spokesmen in Congress are and must be at loggerheads on any number of vital Issues, including civil rights..
