TODAY'S EDITORIAL (Reprinted from The Republican, official publication of the Republican National Committee) As the 1968 Presidential campaign begins, there is an urgent need to cast aside the froth and the emotionalism and to come down to the realities on which the campaign must be waged if it is to have any significant meaning to the discerning voter. Obviously, the voter is not going to be enlightened, or the nation helped, by another exhibition of the kind of reaction that in many cases followed the choice by Republican stan-dard-bearer Richard Nixon of Governor Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland as his running mate. In some of this reaction, it was impossible to recognize the same man who was a hope and a hero only two years ago when he ran successfully for Governor of Maryland against Democrat George P. Mahoney. So perhaps it is time to take a look at the realities. In the first place, the Republican ticket of Nixon and Agnew is a team composed of two experts in government who, if elected, will work together to bring the nation out of Its deepset troubles. In the same way that they represent unity in themselves, they can bring unity, not merely to the Republican Party, but to the mainstream of the American community, and harness its resources behind work programs which again would enable the nation-groping and stumbling now for many yearsto find sureness and its true destiny. Both men have excellent records in the field of civil rights, and it is most certainly true that, if elected, they will foster programs designed to bring real progress for the people in the inner cities and the slums and not-as has happened in many cases in recent years-programs that have been mere mirages of unfulfilled promises, often mishandled and working at cross purposes. Former Vice President Nixon has wide experience and knowledge in all areas of the Federal Government, especially foreign affairs. Governor Agnew is an expert on the problems of the cities, and on Federal, State and local government relations. Thus, he would have a special job to do, and this is in the direction of giving the Vice President more responsibility, for which there is increasing bi-partisan support. The nation, after nearly eight years of Democratic man-agement-often mismanagement-has vast and growing problems. The Republicans are presenting, in 1968, a “do something’' team devoted to doing something about them.

I see another child He hears the train go by at night and dreams of faraway places he would like to go. It seems like an impossible dream. But he is helped on his journey through life. A father who had to go to work before he finished the sixth grade, sacrificed everything so that his sons could go to college. A gentle, Quaker mother, with a passionate concern for peace, quietly wept when he went to war but understood why he had to go. A great teacher, a remarkable football coach, an inspirational minister encouraged him on his way. A courageous wife and loyal children stood by him in victory and defeat. In his chosen profession of politics, first scores, then hundreds, then thousands and finally millions worked for his success. Tonight he stands before you - nominated for President of the United States. You can see why I believe so deeply in the American dream. Richard M. Nixon August 8, 1968 Miami, Florida

—Integration The civil rights leader attacked all presidential candidates for their “bankruptcy” and refusal or inability to address themselves to the problem of racial conflict in this country,” in any relevant way.” “Blacks and whites are on a collision course in the inner-city and the possibility of guerrilla warfare exists,” he stated. “Neither the conservatives nor the liberals are touching the issues.”

“White Awareness Week” is being sponsored by Students Against Racism, aDePauwgroup. The week continues tonight with a presentation of Martin Duberman’s play “In White America.” The production is being staged by The West Side Players, a Louisville, Ky., ghetto group composed entirely of high school students.

Generator ready WABASH, Ind. (UPI)— A new $5 million electric power peaking station at the south edge of Wabash is complete and ready for service, Public Service Indiana announced today. Four diesel-fueled turbine generators have a total capacity of 75,000 kilowatts. Peaking power units are used to meet the relatively short needs when utility customers make maximum use of electricity. At PSI’s headquarters offices in Plainfield, it was announced that construction expenditures for the next five years are expected to total $273.1 million, into turbo-generating units at the new Cayuage station in Vermillion County.

Sometimes, love is a scented mist. At others, it’s a public pratfall. There was a night when two people sat in Barney Gallant’s and spoke of love over clinking glasses of two-day-old Scotch. The man with the sleek black hair and the green eyes - -Mark Hellinger- -said that love was respect, trust and a paper moon. Gladys Glad, billed as the most beautiful woman in the world, said she loved the Broadway columnist, but that a girl looks for a strong man who can protect her and lead her. “That’s me,” he said softly. “Number one or nothing. When do we get married?” The question called for more Scotch. She was tall and blonde, a marble statue in color. Miss Glad had worked in a butcher shoip at the age of twelve, and, even then, the butcher had chased her in and out of the refrigerator. Men, she felt, were not of questionable morality. They had none. She was a Ziegfeld show girl when she had first met Mark Hellinger. He helped her to win a beauty contest. The prize was a Willys-Knight sedan. The girl could not drive, so Hellinger requisitioned the car on the premise that he was saving her life. He sold it and bought a lavender Kissel for himself. When Florenz Ziegfeld sent two dozen long-stemmed American beauties to her dressing room, a diamond ring reposed among the thorns. When Hellinger saw it on her finger, he said: “What’s this?” “Oh”, she said, “I was shopping with some of the kids and I spotted that zircon in a window. Five bucks.” “The stone is loose,” he said dropping it into his pocket. “I’ll get it fixed.” When he returned it, the stone was a ten dollar zircon and the columnist was wearing a solid gold watch. Now it was a question of marriage. “I have to be the number one man,” he said. “The only man.” The blonde nodded seriously. “That’s the way it has to be ,” she said. Her mind returned to the last time Mark had left town on a two-week assignment. He had slipped the Swedish janitor $20 to watch every man who entered Miss Glad’s apartment. Gladys slipped

the Swede $50 to report that men arrived every night in relays. Love requires trust, and respect. These two would eventually marry, divorce and remarry. But in 1928 the paper moon was inflammable. Besides, while the columnist was holding her handsperhaps to keep the dainty things out of his pockets-he was called to a phone. It was the world’s greatest star; A1 Jolson. Mr. Jolson could sing Sonny Boy, and Mammy in blackface, but personal bravery was not his suit. He even quailed around quail. In his idle moments, he took his own pulse. At t h e moment, he was going to marry a 19-year-old tap dancer, Ruby Keeler. “Mark,” he moaned, “I gotta see you right away. I’m in trouble.” The gallant Hellinger left his bride-to-be, and ran to Jolie’s side. The star had received a phone call from Legs Diamond, a .38 calibre pin cushion. The gangster wanted $50,000 by morning “or else.” No one ever bothered to ask what that alternative might be. The columnist heard the story and said; “Jolie sit tight. Bon’t move.” Hellinger phoned Owen Madden, a gangster who couldn’t bear the noise of gunfire. “Tell him,” Owney said, “to sit tight. Don’t move.” In the morning, Legs Diamond phoned Jolson. “What’s a matter?” he said, “you can’t take a joke or something? I was loaded; just ribbing you a little on account of that marriage of yours. I don’t want no fifty big ones. Do me a favor. Call your friends and tell them it’s all a joke. Okay?.” Okay. Jolson, biggest star of the time, placed an arm around the shoulders of Mark Hellinger, Broadway columnists and fixer of blowout patches. “I owe you my life,” said Jolson, and racked up a seventy, six on the pulse while his wrists were around HelUnger’s neck. That night, the columnist and the blonde beauty met at Billy LaHiff’s for dinner. Ben Bernienodded. So did Zelma O’Neill. “When I come back,” Mark said in his low Broadway growl, “we’re goContinued on page 3

Dear Mr. Editor: The political polls indicate that almost two-thirds of the Indiana Electorate favor a change in our national administration. However, many of these same people favor returning our present democratic Senator to Congress. Senator Bayh’s voting record is almost 100 per cent in support of the Johnson-Humphrey programs over the past six years and if people indeed feel that a change needs to be made then one should certainly be made there too. The Senator has stated on numerous occasions that he is concerned about the problems that face our nation today, many of these problems have arisen and become more serious during the past six years that he has served in the U.S. Senate. While it would certainly not be fair to say that he is responsible for them, it would appear to be fair to say that he has been unable to do anything to contribute to their solution. If our local voters truly desire a change of direction, then the change must be complete. Sincerely, J.D. Calbert Theology school Planned in Africa SPRINGFIELD. Mo. •UUPI> The Assemblies of God will open the West Africa Institute of Theology in Lome. Togo, in 1969. The Rev. Everett Phillips, the denomination’s foreign missions field secretary for Africa, explained that the purpose of the new school is to provide advanced education in the field of religion for students completing work in three-year Bible schools in nine West Africa countries—Senegal. Ivory Coast. Upper Volta. Togo. Dahomey. Sierra Leone. Liberia. Ghana, and Nigeria.

President, candidates get together By GEORGE WEEKS NEW YORK (UPI) - The three men aat together In starchy white ties and tails and needled each other like the Impish boys they used to be— the son of a farmer, the son of a druggist and the son of a grocer. President Lyndon B. Johnson, the son of a farmer, sat stiffly between the men who want his Job—Hubert H. Humphrey and Richard M. Nixon. “No one could appreciate my feeling here tonight except General Custer,” said Johnson, who will retire next January as the nation’s 36th President. “As resident President of the big, white Jailhouse,” Johnson said with a grin the width of a hat brim, “I look forward with pleasure to the day I can salute one of you as a fellow convict.” Slapstick Sideshow The 23rd annual dinner of the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation In the Waldorf* Astoria Hotel Wednesday night went the way of a slapstick sideshow. Conspicuously absent was third party candidate George C. Wallace, who was not Invited. Whatever it was, It was the first time Republican Nixon and Democrat Humphrey met on the same platform at the same time In their campaigns to succeed Johnson. And while the political Jabs were being thrown, New York Mayor John V. Lindsay welcomed the two candidates and told the President: “I trust you will act as a referee at these proceedings.” But no referee was needed. “It’s all In good fun,” said Humphrey. “We plan on talking to each other after November.” Humphrey, calling the affair “a political happening,” needled Nixon for refusing to debate him on national television. “I’m glad Dick Nixon is on the same platform tonight— almost within camera range,” said Humphrey. Humble Homes After receiving a hearty handclasp from Johnson—Humphrey got a bearhug—Nixon said not too seriously that he and Humphrey came from the same humble homes as the President. “Regardless of what others call us, he is the son of a druggist and I’m the son of a grocer,” said Nixon, who was vice president under President Eisenhower and was defeated by John F. Kennedy for the White House in 1960. Then Nixon got serious, calling Johnson “the hardest working President we have had in this century” who is “devoted to peace and deeply concerned about the lives and welfare” of U.S. servicemen in Vietnam. “We have only one President at a time,” said Nixon. “Let us not say anything to undercut him.” But Johnson wouldn’t play it straight. Nodding to Nixon, he needled the GOP candidate about his famous statement after a losing campaign for governor of California in 1962. “This could be my last press conference,” Johnson said. “You won’t have Lyndon Johnson to kick around any more.” Johnson flew in from Washington and appeared at the dinner unexpectedly in top hat and tails. He got a standing ovation.

And that’s just what it was. We then let her try on some of my married daughter's no-longer-needed maternity tops. So help me, they made the cutest little dresses ever! Mrs. Rita Fisher * * * DEAR HELOISE: For those who have foldout divans with solid seats that make into a bed (studio couch, etc. i: Did you know you can buy a fitted bed sheet, dye it to contrast or match and it makes an ideal protective cove: ing ? It hsiks nice and doesn't need constant re-adjusting. Just pull out the divan to put it on. Then when you fold it back, the center of the sheet will fit neatly into the crevice giving a tailored look. I bought an irregular sheet and the total cost (with dyei was only about $2.50. Busy Bea * * * DEAR HELOISE: The other day my son cleaned out some paint bnrshes in the bathroom sink with the result that we had the only psychedelic sink in the neighborhood. A water-base paint would have been no trouble, but an oil-base enamel had me stumped because it appeared that a tough scouring job would be required. Series of meetings planned INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - The Indiana Department of Natural Resources will stage a series of three meetings on the fishery program for the new Eagle Creek Reservoir. Meetings are slated Oct. 22 at Whitestown, Oct. 23 at Zionsville and Oct. 24 at Indianapo11s. Included in the discussion will be eradication of existing fish of Eagle Creek and all its tributaries above the new reservoir dam.

Then Just on u hunch, I put some turpentine on a cloth and what u surprise! Not only did the paint disappear with no scrubbing, but the porcelain surface and the metal fixtures were left clean and shiny. Now I use a little tui pentine on a cloth for all the bathroom accessories as well as the ceramic wall tile. Not only removes dirt, but the pine scent is a gissl room freshener.
