HIM OF PEOPLE—Because of different birth and death rates, each nation in the world has its own age distribution profile. A stable population, such as in France, snows a straight up and down shape. Number of people in each age group to fairly ecpal. Mexico’s population, on the other hand, is pyramid shaped. Nearly 16 per cent of ita rapidly growing population is under four. This means that fewer adults must support more and more nonproducing citizens. Most underdeveloped nations have a pyramid pattern. Japan, however, with a declining birth rate, to moving toward stability. Its pro* portion of children under four (about 9 per cent) to now lower than thst of the U-S. (11 per cent).

GOP Revives Gov. Rockefeller Boom In State By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Revival of the Indiana Rockefeller -forPresident movement appears likely Sen. John C. Ruckelshaus (RIndianapolis), who has become one of the foremost leaders of the upper house, predicted that New York" Gov. Nelson Rockefeller would be nominated for president by the Republicans in 1964 and would be elected handily. He and a pioneer Hoosier Rockefeller booster. Sen. Roy Conrad (R-Monticello>, discussed the Rockefeller movement during a lull in Senate proceedings while the Democratic majority senators were in caucus. Ruckelshaus and Conrad predic-

ted that Rockefeller will be reelected governor next year and that, if so, he can’t be stopped for the presidential bid. Another original Rockefeller man in Hoosierdom is Sen. Homer E. Capehart, who said after the election that if Rockefeller had been the White House nominee instead of Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, the New Yorker would have triumphed over Sen. John F. Kennedy. Conrad pointed out that a national magazine carried an article saying that New York Democratic leaders had conceded privately that Rockefeller would be reelected by at least 250,000 votes. Scott May Run Reports alsd circulated that John A. Scott, Elkhart,’ another supporter of Rockefeller, may become a candidate for the GOP ;übernatorial nomination in 1964. A former mayor of South Bend, Scott now is an executive on the Elkhart Truth and on radio and television stations in Elkhart and Fort Wayne. Scott was defeated in 1956 for the GOP gubernatorial nomination by Harold W. Handley. He is a close political ally of Thomas Bath, former secretary of state and erstwhile St. Joseph County

GOP chairman. The two men brought Rockefeller to South Bend a year ago. Republican leaders have pointed out that an important party objective ahouls be regaining the Negro vote, a project which might be aided by Scott’s activities as chairman of the Indiana Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on C*4 FB-V4AI Urges Civil Right* In a letter to legislators, Scott recently urged enactment of civil rights legislation with teeth, saying: - ■ ■■ ; —. “If we do not do something in Indiana to assure equal opportunities for minority groups, particularly Negroes, in terms of housing and employment, then I predict that we will see tn our time massive federal legislation in this area. “And it will be legislation that will take more and more rights away from the states and which will create more and more bureaucracy with its attendant controls. red tape and fiscal absurdity.” Any Rockefeller campaign in this state, however, is sure to run squarely up against 1964 movements for Sen. Barry Goldwater and Nixon.

Too Many Numbers Plague To Writer

By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD-It’s been more than 15 years since I looked at my dog tags, but I can still remember my Army serial number. It was 28229670. The telephone exchange to which my line is connected has assigned me number 33355. My house number is 1065. When I dine at the National Press Club, I sign the check with membership number 988. In the American Newspaper Guild, ! hold card number 222-1717. If I am sick enough to go to the hospital, I fill out an insurance form as certificate holder 8202301. Should surgery become necessary, it would be performed upon certificate number 5950919D. Traffic Ticket (M 420 When a cop stopped me last week for ignoring a stop sign, he took down the number of my driver’s license (400140). Then he handed me ticket number 94420. The fact that I have police press card number 249 did not impress him. It will exhaust my bank account (number 3805) to pay the fine, but I need not worry. Three oil companies will seH me gasoline on credit upon the presentation of cards numbered 437292048, 347202Q720 and 248677015. And in another 25 years, the government will take care of me under Social Security account number 458058881. j These are by no means all of the numbers that I represent. They are just the numbers that 1 happen to remember or could find on cards in my wallet. Taxes By Numbers I compiled this partial list after reading in the new federal budget a proposal by President Eisenhower that we start paying our taxes by the numbers. “Legislation should be enacted to authorize the adoption of tax account numbers which are needed for mechanical and electronic processing,” the President said. I assume this means that each taxpayer would be given a number so that his income tax return could be checked by a machine. If the machine found something wrong, the taxpayer would soon find himself wearing a federal prison number. I want to be the first citizen to go on record as opposing this plan. It wuld only hasten the day, already close at hand, when names will become entirely meaningless. If the numerical system of nomenclature is inevitable, what is needed is not another number to cope with, but away to reduce the digital volume that we already have. It would simplify matters if the government would assign each of us a single, all-purpose number which we could have tattooed across the forehead to spare us the trouble of carrying all those cards.

Retired Lady School Teacher in Legislature By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—If freshman lawmaker Anna Maloney, DGary, looks like a school teacher, there’s a good reason. She has taught school for more than three decades. Now, in her first year of retirement, Miss Maloney has embarked on an entirely different type of career. As one of 149 members of the House, she daily occupies a pupil-Uke desk, with speaker Richard W. Guthrie, young enough to have been one of her students, seated at the head of “the class. ” The tall, precise woman, who taught junior high school mathematics in recent years, does not want to be bracketed as interested in education only, although she holds several honors in that field. “I feel I represent all the people, not just teachers,” she explained. “I’m interested in public, health, labor, taxes and the overall good of the community.” Miss Maloney, a native of Arcadia, Wis., taught a one - room | school at the beginning of her career in Coleraine, Minn. Sh e | also taught for a time in Washj ington before joining the Gary; school system. She is a past national vice president of the American Federation of Teachers and past president of the Indiana Federation of Teachers. She was selected as one of four U.S. delegates to the 1953 world conference on education in Switzerland, and also represented Indiana at the 1950 White House Conference on Youth. She indicated that she will back some changes in the 1959 School Reorganization Act but said she felt that its “general intent is very good.” The Smiths, who usually out? number all other names in any representative collection, are held to a draw by the Myers “family” in the Indiana House. Reps. Wisher Myers, Veedersburg; Paul B. Myers, Bloomingdale, and Dale J. Myers, Fort, Wayne are unrelated to ea c h other and never had met prior to legislative service. But the three of them, plus three Smiths — Lowell of New Castle, Robert of Portland, and Van of Muncie—add to the worries of the bill authorship in the lower chamber. There also are two Bakers—L. Parker from Cicero and Robert E. of Indianapolis—in the House. A motion was made and accepted by speaker Richard Guthrie that the reading clerk call the

wife, Dorothy, with helping get him elected. The Junior Republicans of Fort Wayne, with Dale Myers’ 16-year-old son Alan as city chairman, demonstrated to him that high ; school boys and girls have an ac--1 tive interest in government. Paul Myers, who has been a member of the House since 1952, also has a deep interest in young people. He retired after teaching school for 43 years and took a job as bank teller. On the basis ; of his school experiences, Paul ■ Myers said he would back a bill
