In principle it is clear, it seems to me, that democracies cannot permit totalitarian parties to enjoy civil rights and to win elections and then, having taken over power, to abolish elections -and civil rights. If the Italian Democratic parties have really decided not to surrender the state, they have in principle taken the right decision. But the danger of a Fascist reaction lies in the chance that the Democratic parties may be too weak and confused to carry out the measures of resistance, that these measures would be carried out furtively, so to speak shamefacedly. With weak Democratic government there is a great danger that the Democrats would simply be pushed aside, would abdicate their responsibilities, and would leave the dirty work to be done by a minority.

If that is so, the great question arises as to whether the basic decision should not now be brought into the open, and publicly declared and its principle openly discussed and vindi--cated. The question of principle is whether a free and Democratic state has the right to allow institutions to be used by totalitarian parties to destroy freedom and democracy. (Copyrlrht, 1954.

After a close examination pf each of the eleven amendments and the points made by both proponents and opponents of these measures, the Morning Telegraph offers its conclusions for your consideration.

We will start at the bottom of the list and work upward on the ballot, combining comment on amendments which relate to similar subjects. Amendments 9 and 11, for instance, are concerned with individual counties and not with the state as a whole. But in order for the counties affected to make their own decisions on these two questions, the amendments must be passed. Otherwise lack of authorization by the Constitution for these plans will bar them, even if the taxpayers concerned want them. Amendment No.

11 will appear on your ballot to be marked "for" or "against" the following: "The Constitutional Amendment permitting elections in counties of less than ten thousand (10,000) inhabitants to provide for an Assessor-Collector of Taxes." Amendment No. 9 will appear as "for" or "against" "The Constitutional Amendment granting power to the Legislature to pass laws authorizing the creation of county-wide Hospital Districts in any county having a population in excess of 190,000 and in Galveston County, and to levy a hospital tax." 3, i iua erants in aid He -I ma never ma gei around to tnat, ome and finally I flr asked him whether Italy would be able to execute the plan out of her own resources. His answer threw much light, I think, on the underlying realities, "If this were a Communist gov- ernment," he said, "it could car- ry out the plan without foreign assistance. It would be able to tax. It would be able to compel workers to accept temporarily less pay.

It would impose measures of agricultural Improvement. It would be able to orotl9 JdigJLs Voice flDff can get it only if the amendment is adopted.

Amendment No. 9 is a good example of an amendment that is condensed too severely on the ballot. Reading the ballot condensation, one might get the idea that the Legislature is empowered to set up hospital districts in the counties of more than 190,000 population and Galveston county. This is not the case. The amendment merely gives these Hi'ya, Stranger! GLAD TO SEE YOU IN OUR TOWN, whether you've come here to see a football game or gander Mae West in person or buy your winter wardrobe on 5th Ave.

This is the time of year when New York really lights up and shimmers, and if you want to go places there are plenty of places to go. Just don't let the crosstown traffic at 7:42 p.m. give you an extra ulcer. You'll find the most important people in this city aren't celebrities stage stars or crooners or politicians they're the box office treasurers at the hit shows and the reservation clerks at the best hotels and the fellows behind the counters at the airline ticket desks. For New York is a town where everyone always wants to do the same thing at the same time, and unless you know a few of the key people with the magic combinations, you can wind up without a hotel room.

If you can't snag a pasteboard for Tallulah's "Dear Charles," (oft referred to by the Bankheadophiles as "Dahleeng you Saar Red Herring It is unfortunate that space on the ballot limits tions of amendments so severely. The language of the amendments themselves is far more specific, but the length and legal phraseology of them makes it impossible to put them on the ballot in full. The condensation of Amendment 11, however, is quite clear and complete.

Let's consider it first. Amendment 11 amends Section 16a of Article VIII of the Constitution, the Article which is entitled "Taxation and Section 16 now provides that the sheriff of each county shall be the" tax assessor-collector also, except that in counties of more than 10,000 population according to the last U.S. census, a separate assessor-collector shall be elected. The new Section 16a that Amendment 11 would add merely gives the Commissioners' Court of any of the 96 Texas counties that do not measure up to 10,000 population the right to call an election of property taxpaying voters to decide whether each individual county desires to split the offices of sheriff and assessor-collector. In other words, it gives the people of the smaller counties the right to vote for themselves the same kind, of tax collecting setup the larger counties have, if they desire to do so.

Proponents point out that the duties of sheriff and the duties of assessor-collector are entirely different, and election pf a man well qualified in one of the two offices might well mean poor administration of the other office. And, they Bay, deputies, do the tax collecting in most cases, and because deputies' salaries are limited according to county population by law, it is difficult to find competent people for tax-collecting duties. Some of the smaller counties, because of oil money, have far more than the average 15 to 20 per cent of their population as property taxpayers, they claim. The folks who are fighting this amendment say the new office would increase county expenses and county taxes, that the tax rolls in small counties are short and easily handled, and that creation of an additional office would merely lengthen the ballot in those counties and is contrary to the promotion of more efficient afid responsible government. Be that as it may, it seems only fair to permit the people of the counties to vote on a question like this.

They don't have to add the new office if they feel they don't want it. But some of them evidently need it, or the amendment would not have been added. Therefore, the Tyler Morning Telegraph urges adoption of Amendment No. 11, believing that the people of each county should have the final say on this question.

But maybe you're feeling just a "wee beet Hungarian zees eve-neeng," yes? In that case head for Chardas on E. 79th where a gypsy orchestra plays and a handsome fellow with the improbable name of Tobr Rakossy makes the announcements and sings and a clear-voiced blonde called Anny Kapitany makes like a kind of Hungarian Ethel Merman.

And it's quite an experience if you haven't dug the place before. You ought to see one of New York's genuine' "characters" defeat of such agreements is a publicly announced aim of the Soviet foreign policy. Ratification of the Paris agree ments, Tass said, "would make it impossible during a long period to realize the national expectations of the German peoples for the re union of Germany." Discussing the Saar agreement, it said "it is clear American and English leaders of the North Atlantic bloc used the strongest pressure upon the paritcipants to reach the so-called compromise de cision." The specific terms were not given. Tass also reported the signing of documents abolishing the West ern occupation statute with the comment: "As is known, the 'sovereignty' now given West Germany does not mean a withdrawal of the occu pation forces, but means West Ger many receives the right to arm it self." It told, too, of the inclusion of West Germany in NATO. counties the seven affected are Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Jefferson, Tarrant and Galveston, the latter falling below the population bracket but included at special request the right to ask their property taxpaying citizens to vote on the issue.

If the taxpayers of one of these big counties should approve creation of a county-wide hospital district after this amendment is passed, the new hospital district would: Assume all property, land, outstanding bonded indebtedness and responsibility to provide medical and hospital care for the needy inhabitants of the county and any city within the county. Be authorized to levy a tax not to exceed seventy-five cents per $100 valuation within the district. Never be able to get any other tax support from the city or county concerned, would never become a charge against the state, and would never be eligible for a direct Legislative appropriation. Proponents point to this local determination as a factor in favor of the amendment. They also say that consolidation of city and county hospital functions would reduce overhead and give more adequate service, that the tax ceiling is not too burdensome but adequate, and taxpayers could expect reduction of city and county taxes in a similar amount.

Opponents say the amendment would open the doors to another form of taxation, with no assurance of reduction of city or county levies, would make irresponsible folks flock to the cities, and would create another board responsible only to the citizens who may not grasp the functioning of so technical an institution as a hospital. Again, it seems only fair to let the taxpaying citizens of these seven counties decide for themselves whether they wish to centralize their medical facilities under a district setup. Unless this amendment, which would add a new Section 4 to Article IX of tthe Constitution entitled is passed, the citizens of those counties cannot vote on the matter. Therefore, the Tyler Morning Telegraph advocates adoption of Amendment No. 9, which permits the people of these seven' counties to have their say on how to administer their hospitals.

All it has is a length of mahogany for drinking, a juke bx for records, and Carol, a motherly-looking lady who runs the kitchen.

But because Carol cooks up such things as greens and black-eyed peas and other hard-to-find specials, she has loyal fans who follow her from bar to bar. Among these are a number of Life editors. Such is their devotion that recently when Carol burnt her hana, and they noticed it, some of the brightest literary lights of the magazine world insisted on going into the kitchen and washing dishes for her.

E. Isham of Route 1, Tyler, was admitted to Medical Center Hospital at 5:35 p.m. Sunday with first and second degree burns about one arm and the chest. The youth was not believed to be in a serious condition, according to hospital authorities. Young Isham was playing with a can of cigarette lighter fluid when he was burned, according to his father.

His mother called him to come inside and watch a television program, Isham said. When his mother called, Jimmie told her he would be inside in a minute. Evidently he struck a match and the lighter fluid flamed up, Isham said. Isham said his wife pulled the boy's blazing shirt off and then rushed him to the hospital.

Film Shop By RON BURTON United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (IP). An expert on women's penal institutions, Dr.

Hilda V. Hemholt, was hired as a consultant for a film story of 'a prison and immediately wondered how its actresses could convince audiences. Dr. Hemolt, a psychiatrist, is the first to admit acting is somewhat out of her field, but she feels that an actress must draw largely upon emotions she has known in her own life. She recited the names of five actresses in the film, Columbia's "Women's Prison," and wondered out loud "how they can do it." "You have Ida Lupino, Jan Sterling, Phyllis Thaxter, Audrey Totter and Cleo Moore," she said.

"Consider the oddity of this situation. "Here you have a group of women, born with the natural gift of beauty all to make them alluring to the male sex. "Success as the goal is obvious, to an extravagant degree. That is why Hollywood is famous and why men-desirable and handsome men cluster about them." Dr. Hemolt was struck by the contrast of the actresses and the parts they were to play women prisoners emotionally starved for the association of men.

In short, love-starved women in a manless world. "Thus these women are being, called upon to play something that is utterly foreign to their experience," she said. "All I can say is this: They're going to have to work really hard to be convincing." Family Affair Police arrested a Tyler man Sunday on a theft complaint filed by his brother. The man allegedly stole a $36 fan from his brother then sold it to a taxicab driver for $10, police said. Lodge Terms UN Successes Real "Miracle' MINNEAPOLIS ffl.

Henry Cabot Lodge chief U. S. die-gate to the United Nations, said Sunday "the miracle is that despite unending Soviet attempts at sabotage, the rest of us have made the UN Charter work." He told a Minnesota United Nations Day celebration in a prepared speech that some thought Soviet vetoes had finished the UN. Lodge added: "But it has since become evident (that world public opinion is in some respect a greater force than legal power and the United Nations is the only world forum there is and has become the world's most powerful single engine for affecting world public opinion. "This gives it a paramount importance in any calculations which may be made about international politics." Lodge referred to proposals to revise the UN Charter in 1955 and supported moves to eliminate vetoes on new member applicants.

But he emphasized he would oppose killing veto rights on any question involving the use of U. S. troops. "Anything involving U. S.

troops should, in my judgment, always be referred to Washington," he said. He proposed that if any charter changes are to be made "we in the free -world must agree early on what those changes ought to and must develop an overwhelming public opinion throughout the world in favor of those changes. The record shows that the Soviet Union heeds world opinion once it has been mobilized." The U. S. delegation head reported that 63 per cent of Americans questioned this year said they were satisfied with the progress of the United Nations.

This is an increase from 43 per cent in 1951, he said, and a 7-year high. Lodge listed a 15-count indictment against Red China charging aggression, brainwashing, illicit narcotics traffic, piracy and slave labor, addingr The very fact that the Soviet Uoion has made to much, noise 'Ike Summons Cabinet To Hear Dulles Report MOSCOW (JP). A Tass dispatch said Sunday "French ruling circles used the uproar surrounding the Saar question to divert public attention from the central problem of the Paris negotiations the rearmament of West Germany." This rearmament, the Soviet news agency declared in an account published by all Moscow newspapers, "means the threat of a new military aggression on France." The dispatch contained a strong hint that the Soviet note delivered Saturday to the Western Big Three, just after signing of the Paris accords on Germany, was only the start of a strong Soviet campaign against ratification.

While a backlog of four inches of snow accumulated at Ely and Lewistown, overnight temperatures zoomed 10 to 22 degrees above normal in New England. The snow in the northern Rockies also visited areas of northern Utah, Nevada and Colorado. The snow, accompanied by cold air, pushed minimum mercury readings from 5 to 18 degrees lower than normal Saturday night over most of the northern Rockies, the Plateau States and Western Plains. Readings hovered from 20 to 30 degrees in most areas.

A special White House statement said that Mr. Eisenhower considered the Paris negotiations, out of which came far-reaching agreements on West German sovereignty and rearmament, "a great deal more than Just a diplomatic victory." "It is an historic step toward that unity so necessary for the maintenance of the freedom of West Europe," the statement said. "It clearly demonstrates that brave, free men working together with courage, understanding and patience can overcome seemingly impossible obstacles in their mutual desire to defend themselves against aggression; to be strong enough to win i -and keep the peace."
