TODAY’S EDITORIAL War on Taxpayers r PHE WAR ON POVERTY looks more and more like I a long series of losing battles. Investigation after investigation has turned up solid proof that funds from the Office of Economic Opportunity are drained off through graft, corruption, overloaded bureaucracies and theft. In a recent episode the U.S. General Accounting Office, a congressional watchdog, discovered evidence of payroll padding and forced kickbacks from wages earned by youthful enrollees in Pride, Inc., an antipoverty organization in Washington, D.C. GAO investigators also learned that a Pride staff member was selling narcotics. Currently government probers are looking into evidence that war on poverty officials in New York City have been involved in the theft of some $300,000 in poverty funds. Paychecks amounting to more than $4,000 made out to nonexistent people and bearing phony signatures were found in the possession of three poverty workers. The Senate Permanent Investigating Subcommittee in public hearings recently learned that most of the more than $900,000 in OEO funds had been stolen from an antipoverty agency in Chicago by a Chicago gang that used the money to buy cars and weapons. The Senate subcommittee has opened a new investigation into the connection of a poverty organization in Wilmington, Del., with the Black Liberation Army. BLA, a Negro guerrilla group, is linked to the shooting of police officers in three cities. It has attempted to set up revolutionary cells in big cities. Every time congressional investigations turn up proof that antipoverty organizations are misusing federal funds OEO officials promise to correct all similar abuses, but they continue to pop up with dreary regularity. The time is long past due for a thorough congressional review of the entire war on poverty whose most successful campaign so far has been waged against the taxpayers’ pocketbook.

If one is to believe the historians, Christopher Columbus was a lucky loon. Queen Isabella of Spain did not hock her tiaras to buy the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. At one time, she and King Ferdinand kicked the explorer out of the Spanish court on his compass. He even took the ten thousand maravedis reward granted to the first sailor to sight land - Rodrigo de Trianaeven though Chris was sound asleep at 2 A.M., October 12, 1492, when de Triana shouted “Land Ho!’’ Very few facts about Columbus are one hundred percent positive. Historians address themselves to the melancholy phrase, “it is believed.” The explorer’s father may have been Domenico Columbus, a weaver of Genoa. The family is believed to have been composed of Spanish Jews. When Columbus left Genoa, Italy, he never returned. He never wrote or signed himself as Italian. Even his personal notes were written in Spanish. As a navigator, Chris was willing to work for Catholic monarchs and spread the word of the cross, but in his private life he stuck to the Old Testament. His favorites were the Book of Isaiah and the book of Esdras. He used both as prophecies that the earth could be roundish and the way to the rich East was to sail west. This was first suggested by a Florentine cosmographer, Paolo Toscanelli, but Columbus made it sound like his personal revelation. At the age of 27, in the year 1478, Columbus married Filipa Moniz Petestrello, although he was not above a little hankypanky in faraway places. He was at Porto Santo, in the Madeiras, when he saw pine tree trunks and bits of wrought wood washed up on the western beaches. Out there somewhere, he reasoned, there must be land and people. His most remarkable accomplishment was in trying to solve the mathematical equation of a round earth, dividing it into 360 degrees. Had Columbus used the Arabic mile ( 1,975.5 meters) he would have come close to the true size of the earth. Instead, he used the Italian mile (1,477.5 meters ), which indicated that India and Cipango (Japan) must be about 3,900 miles west of the Canary Islands. This would have landed him smack in the middle of Detroit. In some ways, he was slightly out of his canoe. He demanded high honors and riches as well as ships, men, and money. Co-

lumbus put it up to the King of Portugal, also the Duke de Me-dina-Sidonia, Ferdinand and Isabella, the bishop of Avila, Professor Diego de Deza, each of whom asked Columbus what he planned --a short-cut to India, or the discovery of new lands? Chris couldn’t make up his mind. While waiting, Columbus became the father of a child by Beatrice Enriques, who helped him to stop being vague. At the same time, Chris was introduced to a pistol named Martin Alonzo Pinzon, who also believed that there were “great lands” to the west. Columbus made Pinzon a junior partner. Two priests, Friar Perez and Friar Marchena, begged Queen Isabella to listen to Columbus once more. She asked bluntly what his price would be to discover new lands for Spain. Chris, who had been landlocked for four years, blew the proposition sky high when he demanded (1) that he was to be knighted; (2) that he was to be appointed Grand Admiral and Viceroy in perpetuity; (3) that he was to be cut in for 10 percent of everything. Isabella told him to get lost. Courtiers pointed out that the titles would cost the crown nothing, and that 10 percent of nothing is nothing. Columbus threatened to take his proposition to the crowned heads of France and England. The Spanish monarchs capitulated in the spring of 1492, and Columbus went to Palos to assume command of three ships. The big one -- 117 feet long— was the Marigalante. It was renamed the Santa Maria. There were two 50-footers called the Nina and the Pinta. The explorer took aboard a scholar named Luis de Torres, “who had been a Jew and knew Hebrew and Chaldean and a little Arabic”, in case the ships landed in India and the “Grand Khan” wanted to converse with the Grand Admiral. Columbus sailed west southwest for a month, telling the crews that land would be sighted at any minute. Everybody, including the Grand Admiral, became frightened. The second month was a sweat. On the 71st day, a lookout named Rodrigo de Triana saw the sand of San Salvador, one of the Bahama chain. It’s still a good place for tourists

Fire prevention week Oct. 6-12 Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6 to 12, offers a special opportunity to bring much-needed information on fire hazards and corrective action to the public, says F.R. Willsey, Purdue University extension safety specialist. In the United States fire destroys more than 500,000 homes each year, killing over 6,500 people. Willsey says a fire-safe home depends on two factors: (1) good family habits, such as care with matches and smoking and proper use of electrical outlets and appliances and (2) good construction, for which Willsey outlines the following: Solid doors for every room; good escape routines, preferably leading directly outside; interior finishes with low flame-spread characteristics; fire-resistant roofing material; proper wiring; a good heating unit, properly installed and regularly cleaned and inspected. Willsey points out that most deaths caused by home fires could have been prevented if the occupants had planned ahead for such an emergency.

Needless to sa.y, these steps always looked dirty and shabby no matter how often they were painted. Then I covered them with adhesive-back paper in a biick pattern. Now the mud and dirt from everyone’s shoes doesn’t even show and all I ever have to do to keep them looking clean is to wipe them with a damp sponge. Mrs. Neil Raffel * * * DEAR HELOISE: In making a Boston cream pie, or filling a single cake layer that is very moist and tender, simply inn a sharp knife through the cake to split it in layers. Then, to remove the top half of the layer to fill it and at the same time avoid breaking it, slide a clean cake rack through the split layer and the top will remain on the rack! After filling it, slide the top right off the lack to its proper- position. Easy as can be.

Our hearts still ache with lonliness, Our eyes shed many tears, God only knows how much we miss him, At the close of one sad year. Wife, children and grandchildren.

Though his smile is gone forever, And his hand I cannot touch, I will never lose sweet memories of the Son I loved so much. Sadly missed by mother.

A Reader DEAR HELOISE: If you have an old clothes hamper that you hide because its paint is chipped, why not repaint it with a can of spray paint. Great for the woven hampers! I used automotive paint because the cans are large and there is a wide range of colors. Then I just covered the hamper lid with adhesive-, backed plastic to make ■ it more attractive. But the lid can be sprayed, too. Linda BueUner This column is written for you . . . the housewife and homemaker. If you have a hint or a problem wr ite to Heloise in care of this newspaper.
