JIVING OUR WORLD THE Once Over DONT CENSURE MORSE The other week, turncoat Senator Sen-ator Wayne Morse, of Oregon, almost al-most asked the Senate to "censure" him, by lumping Eisenhower and Dave Beck together and calling them "the same kind of immorl- By Dick Morrison Ists." Some Republicans asked the GOP policy committee to Introduce a censure resolution, notably Senator Sen-ator Capehart, of Indiana, who said, "Introduce It and let's get on with the trial." Now ,it seems to me there is a lot wrong with this attitude. 4MpJ f TIRES ' l OH IT VJ-I 1 1. MORE MILEAGE Up to 25 More Mileage Under All Condition! . mm m New I read Reduces Rumble and Roughness 3.

And the Senators enjoy Senatorial immunity im-munity for anything they may say on the Senate floor an invaluable-safeguard against oppression In the processes of representative government. Not that Senator Morse made his remark on the floor. He didn't, but this fact left him more vulnerable than if he had. But at all events, it seems ridiculous rid-iculous to hold such things as grounds for censure. Is Eisenhower made of such delicate de-licate stuff that Morse's remark would deflate him completely? If so, maybe we really need a stronger strong-er President. If not, how could he be hurt? Let's admit the remark inappropriate. Eisenhower and Dave Eack are not the same kind of men. Dave Is, obviously, tough and cynical, a self-seeker, unconscionably. uncon-scionably. Eisenhower is naive. While this isn't saying the latter quality is necessarily more desirable desir-able in a President than the former, form-er, it is saying there Is a difference. differ-ence. We have been treated to one censure move in the U.S. Senate, and a disgraceful thing it proved to be. Even the incident which brought the matter to a head McCarthy's telling off a General Zwicker was ignored by the full Senate when it voted "condemnation." "condem-nation." Worse, there were glaring indications that Watkin's recommendation recom-mendation for censure was a foregone fore-gone conclusion before ever the hearings were held. In the whole proceeding, it was the Watkins committee that made asses of themselves, not their decent victim. Instead of voting censure of another, an-other, now, and thus making censure cen-sure resolutions routine business of the Senate, the Senate should vote to rescind its earlier move. Morse's remark didn't hurt anybody; any-body; any more than McCarthy's telling of Zwicker hurt anybody. Our generals are supposed to be of sterner stuff than would be KO'd by a few words from a Senator. One other point might be checked check-ed regarding Morse's remark. What was he worked up about? Why, he was calling Eisenhower an "immoralist" for "taking money mon-ey out of taxpayers' pockets by giving a fast write-off to the Idaho Power Co. for dams being built to generate power." Now, giving fast depreciation write-offs to various business or-j ganizations has long been common and Open poTicy. It may have been wrong I think it was, but no more so than the depreciation rules which apply under our income tax laws for non-favored business but silly epithet for Eisenhower? The reason suggests itself because be-cause Morse is a public-power man. Furthermore, If it is grounds lor censure for public officials to "take money out of taxpayer's pockets",, where is the public official of-ficial not open to censure? Finally, if Morse's remark reaches reach-es Eisenhower, and causes him to engage in a little Introspection as to his own omnlsicience, maybe it will have a salutory effect on the President THE OZ BOOKS AND ORPHAN ANNIE Two of America's most cherished mythical institutions hace come under attack lately. They are the OZ Books, and Orphan Annie. The eggheads'll get them if they don't watch out. A librarian In Detroit has banned ban-ned the Oz Books, inso far as they have come under his jurisdiction. And a professor somewhere In Michigan, I think it is, has come up the the dictum, "Orphan Annie must go." What's wrong with Orphan Annie and the Oz books? Well, to these book-burning authorities, it seems they have a bad effect upon the minds of children. That the kids love them makes no difference. The kids don't know what's good for themselves, and the professors and librarians do. The Oz Books are too fanciful. They are peopled with characters who do impossible things; who even have survived fates which disregard the limitations limita-tions imposed by the normal vulnerabilities vul-nerabilities of the human anatomy the Tin Woodman, whose limbs got chopped away one at a time, who survived by having tin appendages ap-pendages made replacing them, until he was made over entirely of tin, and who bemoaned having to live without a heart, until a fine new heart was provided for him in the story was it made of ruby?

Ford is lowest priced of the low-price three, yet offers values you'd expect only in cars costing far more!

That's wfcea yee'U f . lad the real evidence ef Ford's quality I And, on the way in, note that Ford offers door checks that hold doors open In either of two positions-for easy entrance en-trance or exit A little thing. But, in a fine car, why not? Then, inside, notice how comfortable those plush, foam-rubber foam-rubber seats are. They'll stay that way. And on long trips. For they're scientifically scientif-ically contoured over non-sag springs. : - Your rear-seat passengers are treated extra kindly, too with spring assists to help them open and close the doors with the most leg room in Ford's field! Fine cars are smooth-and that's another place Ford really shows its stvf I Ford delivers its famous V-8 power smooth as a whisper. That's because only Ford takes the pains to electronically electron-ically balance each engine while running run-ning under its own power. Not even the makers of the most expensive automobiles automo-biles go this far to bring you super-smooth super-smooth performance. Ford rides fine-car smooth and quiet, .too. You can thank the new "Inner Ford" for that. Ford, for instance, has vGt in on the fun and savings now n the new kind of Aimrko'i favorite convtrflbla h en of 21 Ford mod) for 157 a swept-back front suspension that actually "rolls with the punch" of every road bump.

Se's Ford I Ford has the only frame in its field to make use of rugged tubular steel beam. No car at the price offers so many roof-strengthening roof-strengthening beams. Expensive cars aren't built of thicker body steel or with sounder engineering skilL Then, of course, in Ford you can have all the power assists and other conveniences found in fine cars. And they cost far less -in Ford. Yes sir! In every feature, every part, Ford is the fine car at half the fine-car price.

This, in the new dispensation, is an archaic ar-chaic type that belives in solving its own problems. Annie has never nev-er shown any signs of having made proper adjustment to the gToup. She isn't social-minded; but just figures ways of getting herself out of trouble whenever she finds herself Involved in it, which is most of the time. And of course her Daddy Warbucks is a reprehensible repre-hensible figure. He is a a capitalist! cap-italist! That professor must be Inwardly In-wardly Irked because he hasn't yet ,set other capitalists the right example by giving all his money to some college. Non-conformer that I am, I am on the side of Orphan Annie and the Oz Books. I have always loved both; maybe that's what ails me. If it is. I am glad of it, and I don't want to be different. I wouldn't want to have a "realistic" mind like either the professor or the librarian. I'll just cling to my child ish fancies, admit that I've never been good at adjusting myself to groups, and keep admiring Annie for showing such super-human qualities of resourcefullness in getting get-ting out of trouble. If the eggheads will just leave me alone, I'll leave them alone, too, and not Interfere with their "progress", but Just keep on living in my little dream world, which I love. Commenting on the threat to the Ox books, the Wall Street Journal said, editorially .that it thought the kids wouldn't notice much dif ference if the Oz books were removed re-moved from the libraries, because why should the kids care if the libraries didn't keep books which all the kids owned copies of for themselves, anyway? And as for Orphan Annie, something some-thing tells me that she would find the professorial pronouncement that "Annie Must Go." just about the least fearsome of all threats she ever met up with, and she will overcome it handily, perhaps with a little help from Sandy, who might prove Just the guy to give that professor a little nip in Just the right part of his anatomy. Arf. So let Annie stay safely in the funny papers, and the Ox books on the sherf at home. I don't think there ever were any better books than the Ox books; ever a better movie than the one in which Judy Garland played Dorothy, in the Wizard of Oz; a better song than Over The Rainbow. But deliver me from anything that -professor, or that librarian, may ever offer up as the right stuff to take their place, created according accord-ing to the latest notions of psychiatry psy-chiatry or what have you, as just what is needed for the purpose of improving our minds and making us amenable to adjustment to whatever it is that progressive education ed-ucation is aiming at.
