Whose Ox Was Gored Merriman Smith, the witty United Press International reporter at the White House, who has become a legend in his own time by covering so many presidents that he knows as much about the job as any one of them, gave a very interesting report to the Hoosier State Press Association luncheon Monday in Indianapolis. Smith told the group some of the sidelights of White House life, with an ironic sense of humor that left his audience in a high degree of merriment. Everything in the White House is relative, Smith z said, depending on who is in office. When Eisenhower came into office, he had the yacht which Truman had had purchased, sold — he said it was too rich for his blood. (This is part of the act that every president puts on, refusing to recognize that any one has ever really held the office before him, and therefore getting all “new” equipment or furniture, he sidelighted). So Ike had a former Navy ship, a very small one, fitted up for presidential use. The ship’s name was changed to one more appropriate for the Presidential family, and redecorated. Immediately the Democratic party charged that the President was fitting out a luxury liner — and the Republican countered that it was not a yacht, just a boat, and quoted at length to prove it. Then Kennedy became president. Suddenly, in Demorca tic releases, the "luxury yacht” became a simple boat, while in the Republican press, which had stalwartly maintained that it was a boat, it suddenly ' became a luxury cruiser. So, Smith added, it just depends on whose ox is being gored as to what terms are used by the parties. Another thing Smith could not understand. When divorce appears imminent between Eddie Fisher anV Elizabeth Taylor, everyone becomes excited, and millions more will go to asc her next picture, and she becomes more popular. But when Mrs. Rockefeller announces that she is going to divorce her husband, Gov. Rockefeller, his political stock goes down, and everyone remarks what a terrible thing it is. It seems that what is all right for one person is taboo for another in a slightly different social position. Editorial Writer Today... Dick D. Heller, Jr.

Consider Parents Dear Editor: Although I am only an eighth grade student, I would like to express my opinion about federal aid to education. Surely the parents’ point of view should be considered. Tbe best bill introduced in congress this year is Rep- James J. Delaney’s junior G. I. bill. He certainly has the right idea, because he proposes in this bill that the money be given to the parents whose “right” it is to educate their children in whichever way they see fit The children of today will be the parents of the future. They have the God-given right to obtain their education at public or privately owned schools as stated in H. R. 9803, and get federal aid. Congress feels it should help finance education in public schools. Those who say it is unconstitutional to aid non-public schools are refusing to admit our right to constitutional protection- Our government is “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” I feel, therefore, that the citizens of America should publicly express their views on the subject of federal aid to education as I am doing now.

Lenten Message By The Rt. Rev. Allen Brown, dd Btohep, Albany, NN.Y., Episcopal Dtoceae Written for UP! Mankind usually is at some moral crossroads. The contrast between the hopes of the space age and the threat of thermo-nuclear destruction, the choice between human dignity and a half dozen kinds of oppression, the promise of larger Christian understanding and the danger of short cuts which only compound our divisions make the little ways in which we used to keep Lent seem tragically insignifeant To be sure we must be faithful in little things if we would be faithful in much, but contemporary opportunities and dangers make it imperative that we see our Christian responsibility in larger terms. A few years ago a book was published withthe spiritually disturbing title “Your God Is Too Small”; we must make c ertain that our observances are adequate to our times. True repentance for our sins of unreality and hardheartedness, personal responsibility as citizens of the kingdom oi God and recognition of the divine duties of obedience, worship and vision suggest the kind of larger disciplines appropriate to 1962 and worthier of the God to whose glory the Lenten season is observed.
