Show Behind The Day's1 News By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Internationa! WASHINGTON (UPD The U.S. taxpayer is fumbling a good chance to ask a. good question in ; this presidential campaign. Two good questions! The questions are these: How much would it cost to make good on the new spending proposals in, the. Republican platform? In the Hbv Not to Travel In Italy, flashing from Rome to Florence, there is a de luxe train whose most' spectcular feature is a kind of bubble-to- p , . win- picture dow up front which affords the traveler a, magnificent view of the .countryside. A man who made the run not long ago was stunned to find three of the choicest picture window seats occupied by Americans who paid absolutely no attention to the wonderful panorama. They wer, in fact, playing gin rummy at high pitch. The observer, himself an American, stalked off in v In practical termsdisgust, alone, such behavior seems senseless. Why pay high travel costs to Italy to" play, a game you can play in your living room all year long? Looking at it. broadly, the ' incident was gainfully typical of many foreign tourists.

When Old Friends Get Together By FRANK C. ROBERTSON bast week I had a visit from iurold friend whom I hadn't seen for , many years He was Israel B. Call, and he came "down here with his law, Una Gall, who is my wife's sister, nd her brother, Art Bowman. It's amazing how much fun it is to recall things from one s forgotten youth. Israel is now eighty-fiv-e years odd, and, I was thirteen the first time I ever awhimi when he spoke fin church on his return from a Mormon church mission to Australia. He had the gold- en voice! of a Caruso, and under other cir m cumstances would un-- Mr. Robertson doubtedly have become one of America's greatest singers. I have never in my life heard a better natural singing voice. Age is funny. I was a kid, and he was a man, and age means so much to kids. We hear so much these "days about people sticking to their own age groups, yet it wasn't long until Israel and his friend Earnest Thompson were two of my closest friends.. We worked together for years before life took us in different directions. Some eight years ago our friend Barn Thompson died, and it was the last time I "saw- Israel. until just the other day. It was the good turns the other had done for us that we recalled. When I was fourteen xe fifteen my father sent me to the canyon alone to get a load of : wood, an it was Israel who me saw. down the tree, arid helpedhelped me load and bind it after he got his own load, but of course he didn't remember it. .It was he who recalled that my brother and I had sold him a team of horses during the tough years right after the first World War. for which he had been unable to pay at the time, and ' I had forgotten ' it years ago. ' Such things, I think, are what makes for. enduring . friendships. ... 1 worked with Israel in the timber, and after, we had our own farms we helped, each other harvest our grain . times without number. I can recall the imany, many times when Israel and Earn used to stop at my father's place on their Iway to and from the canyon ,and sawmill, and my mother always had a pot of hot coffee for them, but my fondest .memory of Israel was the winter we fed sheep 'together; he taking . care of the team and I doing' the cooking, and he was kind enough to say that I was a" fair country camp cook. But sometimes he used to go home nights, and he would show up at daybreak, and I would get up early those cold wintry mornings just to hear that golden voice ring out as he loped across the meadow, for-hsang whenever he was on a horse. When you work, sleep and eat with a man all winter you be--' come lifelong friends, or you soon begin to hate each other's guts. Israel and I became friends and stayed, that way. He was in the Ward Bishopric at the time as I recall, and he didn't even lose patience with my irreverence and refusal to go to church. More trying to his patience perhaps was that I had a noisy little portable typewriter, at which I pecked away during my spare time, for I was. trying to learn to write," . - Lli WASHINGTON i: . w, r - w, , - . , . -- So They Say - content and appearance of a newspaper today with one of 25 years ago will show how news treatment and presentation have changed to meet changing conditions.

I don't think it was intentional; but now the dark face of Sagetlyan puffed. His breaths came shorter, and harder,, now. Once he called out: "Mr. Presi- dent, may I have youa: attention!' Time had nearly run out for the panting Sagetylan when Ike peered into the fear and gave him the nod. So wrought was the Red that his words came out in a guttural tumble and Mr. Eisenhower suggested he start over again. The question was, naturally, a v , yard.- choice.

Irael married a girl with whom I had .gone, to school. We were two of six in the first class that ever graduated from the eighth grade in bur little rural school. Years later at a ward reunion Vinnie. Call came to my defense when another member of that class bad forgotten that I was in the group, and said, "Oh, Frank never graduated from the eighth grade.'' It was the only education I ever got, and I hated to have that honor denied me. Vinnie ; died a couple of years ago, to speak at and the family asked-mher funeral, but unfortunately I didn't get the word in time. Vinnie was par Indian and one of the most beautiful and intelligent girls I . have ever known. She and Israel raised a fine family, and I was delighted to hear Israel say that one of his, granddaughters had in- -' herited his gift for singing, and that she is going to receive the proper training. I do not wish to disparage the pleas- ant visit we had with my sister and .brother-in-lawhom we were most glad to see. Una lived with us while s'he was going to High School in Salt Lake, and has always been one of those people who constantly help others. She now lives in Blackfoot, Idaho,- and like so many women of today works at a job, though she is a grandmother. My brother-in-laArt, is one of those fortunate farmers who has put bis farm in the Soil Bank, has an adequate income 'from it, and nothing to do but enjoy life. He never married and says, the; reason is that if he had they would have' made him a bishop. As it was he was in the bishopric- many years, and is still Ward Clerk. The lengths to which people will go to escape responsibility astonishes me, - but Art merely says smugly,. A . bishop must be the husband of one wife." St.. Paul said that, and he was a woman hater. I think somebody must have wanted to make him a bishop. But my old friend Israel coming down here made me temporarily forget the passing years and in our imaginations we were just as good as we used to be, though we would have ..hated to have somebody ask us to fell a tree.

Bad manners are only one part of the story, but they .are not un- important. There simply is no for loud talk, rudeness, tossing your weight or your money around as if Americans were the only people on earth. Another side of the. problem is : that too many tourists go abroad with an astonishing minimum of curiousity. iThey seem to want to "collect" certain foreign experiences, but beyond these high lights they're not interested. Our three gin rummy players fit. this cate- gory. One gets the idea that for many, foreign travel is merely a keeping up with the, Joneses, or ja restlessness without real purpose. To judge by the attitudes and comments of some, they may go abroad to .seek assurance that what they- - have lat home is best. And they appear bent on taking "home" along with them, and flaunting it before the people of other s lands. Out of that question would come still another to which the answer already is well, if not widely, known. The question: If taxes had to be increased, who would be stuck with the added burden? Who would be stuck? The little fellows, of course. Stabbed would be a better word than stuck for what happens- between the- - U.S. Common Man . and Taxes.
