NOTES AND COMMENTS
Not every salesman can prove he is a seller.
Selfishness wrecks nations, just as it wrecks
individuals.
A nation is as strong as its average citizen,
and no stronger.
Life would be simpler if the people on the
earth were sincere.
Money multiplies the power of man, either
for better or for worse.
Many of those who shout the loudest about
prejudice have the most of jt.
Good manners can be exhibited by a person
while driving an automobile.
What has become of the man who believed
everything he saw in print?
There are many ways in which people try to
have their cake and eat it, too.
Any community of individuals can get along
if it has some unselfish leaders.
Personally, we prefer for the go-getter type
of women to go-get somebody else..
The end of the world will catch most of the
big executives behind with their work.
It is nothing short of remarkable, how the
candidates recommend themselves.
Apropos the presidentail campaign, how
many speeches have you read - in full?
Eating between meals will, at least, make less
important what is put on the table.
HAPPY FAMILY CIRCLE
The world is heavily populated with indivi
duals who would do “great things” if they had
fine positions or plenty of money. However, the
world has very few men or women who are
striving to do the little things in life in a manner
that befits the doing of the greater things.
There is much talk today, for example, about
the value of familyy life. What do the average
father ad mother, in this day, do for the benefit
of family life? For that matter, what contribu
tion does the young son, or the young daughter,
feel impelled to make in developing a happy
family circle that, in too many instances, is
but a theory?
Happy family life is a cooperative affair. It
doe snot depend on father or mother, or son or
daughter, alone. Unless all work for the com
mon good, unless all members of the family try
to be as unselfish as possible, then there can
be no completely happy family circle. But it is
worth thinking about and working for. What
are you going to do about it?

BUSY SENATE
The Senate has been busy voting to revise
the Constitution. In a flurry of roll-calls it ap
proved an omnibus amendment that would.
Outlaw the poll tax. Grant suffrage in voteless
residents of the District of Columbia. Permit
Governors to appoint members of the House
of Representatives if a majority of the House
was killed in a nuclear attack.
The package was adopted by a vote of 70
to 18.
FUND CHAIRMAN CHOSEN
Roger L. Stevens, New York realtor and thea
trical producer, has been selected as chairman
of the Democratic National Committee’s fin
ance committee for the 1960 campaign.
Paul M. Butler, party chairman, is expected
to announce the appointment daily.
De GAULLE GETS SUPER POWER
The French National Assembly recently vot
ed to give the French government extraordinary
authority - authority which will allow it to write
its own laws, practically speaking, for the next
year.
The vote for the super power was 449-79,
show sentiment in favor of a stronger govern
ment. Premier Michael Debre has promised that
these powers will be used only for the mainte
nance of order and the safeguarding of the Re
public and pacification of Algeria.
It is regrettable, in one sense, that extraordi
nary powers have been granted to the DeGaulle
government. There will be few who will agree
with this at this time, but these extra powers will
perhaps set a precedent, or could be abused.
Whether or not they are abused, if they were
not needed, it certainly would have been wise
to have avoided them.
As a matter of fact, the De Gaulle govern
ment crushed the revolt in Algeria the day be
fore the new powers were voted De Gaulle.
Therefore, it seems that the revolt in Algeria,
which was used as the reason for delegating
these extra powers, was largely settled before
the extra power’s were voted.
The first time De Gaulle or another French
leader abuses these super powers, if they are
not abandoned in 1961 -as is now the plan-it
will be grist for the communist propaganda mill.
If this authority is abused, or if it turns into
something akin to the Fascist system - either
now or later - the French National Assembly
will have taken a grave step in granting this
extar authority to the present government.
A DIXIE REVOLT?
The question has been raised not infrequently
in recent weeks and months about athe South’s
ncourse of actio in the Presidential election this
year.
A certain element in the Deep South is eager
to stage another revolt in the Democratic party.
Bacw in 1948, it will be recalled, such a revolt
almost succeeded in throwing the Presidential
election into the House of Representatives.
As it was, the revolt carried four states. Be
that as it may, that is water over the dam. Chan
ces are less likely this year that the South will
revolt - for one major reason.
That reason, as of now, is the ,likelihood that
a Southerner, or a Southwesterner, will be in
the running for the Democratic Presidetial nomi
nation. That man is, of course, Senate Majority
Leader Lyndon Johnson. If he is nominated, it
will be the first time sice the Confederate War
that a Southerner, living in the South, has been
nominated for the Presidency.
Of coure, in the minds of many Southerners,
Lyndon Johnson is not conservatice enough. He
will udoubtedly infuriate many when he gets a
civil rights bill through the Seate this month, or
next month. He is doin gthis because he knows
it is his only chance to win support in the north
and east, which support is necessary if he is
going to corral the delegate votes for the nomi
nation in July.
Were it not for this circumstance, the South
would almost certainly be on the verge of revolt.
