Show I Other Papers Say ADVANCE LEADER (Ind.) says; OAKMONT (PA.) In view of the current heat wave (which has been current for a heck of a long time come to think of it), it would be welt not to pay too awful much attention at-tention to: (a) ranting labor leaders, lead-ers, (b) spluttering congressmen, senators or, yes, Presidents, (c) vituperative buddies of Joe Stalin Stal-in or Joe, himself, (d) bawling babies, (c) cranky bartenders, (f) illiterate and illogical newspapermen, news-papermen, (g) wordy candidates for office, (h) ill-humored sales girls, (i) nit-wittcd automobile drivers, Etc., Et cetera.

School men, we know, have backed the Federal aid program because, much to our shame, we have failed to provide on a local and state level enough funds to meet education's expanding needs . . . But states and local communities can, if they so will, find the funds to finance the public schools. COUNCIL BLUFFS (IOWA) FARMER-LABOR PRESS says: The resignation of Hugh Scott as Republican national chairman brings to mind the oft made assertion as-sertion that the GOP will never again reach the top as a national political party. The Inference be-ing, be-ing, of course, that Mr. Scott's moves or at least desires to inject in-ject a little liberalism in the parly par-ly and thus bring it closer to the voters, was met with distrust and suspicion by the old guard which still rules the GOP, with the result that Scott's position was made untenable and he finally fin-ally bowed out. . . .
