HE DALLAS POST Established 1889 Editorially Speaking: oe THE BRAND OF CAIN The Eichman trial brings up a question. How ‘can a death sentence for one man compensate for the sacrifice of six million of his fellow men? It would be an empty victory for a horrified world. There is another sentence, with authority from the Old Testament, those teachings which men like Eichman flouted. ; Jt.is the Brand of Cain on the. forehead. . Why kill the man? Let him live ... branded with the Mark of Cain, stripped of citizenship, to wander over the world shunned by everybody, accepted nowhere, rejected by his own, to find his own miserable end. Death is far too clean and simple for a man like Eich- man. Life is a far greater punishment, DEBUNKING “SCHOOL PROBLEM" To say the least, whatever problems our public schools face have been vastly exaggerated by supporters of federal aid to education. Some information’ produced by a policy committee of which Senator Styles Bridges is chairman does much to ‘clarify the picture. : ; It deals with how the schools fared in the eight-year period, between the school years 1952/53 and 1960/61. Here are a few of the facts it records: The number of pupils increased 35 per cent whereas the instructional staff increased 45 per cent, and the number of children per teacher declined from 26.2 to 24.4. The average teachers’ salary increased 52 per cent, as against the much smaller increase of 30 per cent in per capita personal in- come as a whole and of 34 per cent in industrial wages. And, whereas the addition of 9.7 million children popu- lations required an additional 347,000 classrooms at the rate of 28 children per classroom, about half again as many—>507,500—were actually constructed. To quote the report directly, these eight years “witnessed tremendous progress in improving school support, build- ing new classrooms, hiring new teachers, raising teachers’ salaries . , . This is a proud, record of achieve. ment, indeed.” If facts mean anything at all, these mean that more federal encroachment on education, with the bureau- cratic controls that would come, is unneeded, unjustified and dangerous. ——————— Would You Like To Know More About Civil War Ancestors?

He was son of Leonard and Eleanor Hunter Machell, pioneer residents of Dallas. He was a famil- lar figure in Dallas striding along with his English walking stick, his over six feet of stature held rig- idly erect. Albine Sincavage, ten year old visitor from Luzerne, drowned while swimming in Posten’s Pond. ‘Deputy coroner A. C. Kelly of Trucksville was called, State Highway patrol nabbed twenty drivers for traffic violations early: Sunday morning. A new bus route was established around the Lake, meeting the trol- ley at Idetown. The hemlock treé and the Bob- white were selected by the State as emblems. The heat wave caused many more cars than usual to pass through Dal- las en route to Harveys Lake, A break in the water main at Main and Rice Streets threw resi- dents out of water supply; and folks on Parrish Heights, due to a breakdown of the Parrish well ma-= chinery, were also without water. Night telephone service was not very good, and there were many complaints. Oil-drilling machinery was work- ing at Jenks. Willow Inn, a new restaurant, was opened at Trucksville. Trucksville Gardens became a recognized part of the community, and streets were taken over by Kingston Township. Deer were plentiful browsing along the adges of woodlots. Drugstores were building up their stocks of anti-tetanus shots in prep- aration for Fourth of July accidents. From an editorial: “Every year, firecrackers, skyrockets, eyes and legs and arms are offered up with a joyful noise on the altar of free- dom. It seems an accepted fact that Fourth of July must have its cas- ualties.” Mrs. Anne Baker Rosengrant, 77, died at Shavertown. Mrs. Sarah Brown, 88, lifelong resident of Lehman, was buried in Lehman Cemetery. rr HAPPENED 2() YEARS Aco: Ricketts Glen State Park awaited Governor Arthur James’ signature to turn it into a vacation spot.

With GEORGE A. and EDITH ANN BURKE Three Networks have rejected a plan for former President Truman to do 26 one-hour shows, television producer David Susskind told a Federal Communication hearing. Susskind said he will ‘go ahead with the project anyway, financing it himself and trying to sell it to independent stations. He said some interest had been indicated by the British Broadcasting Corp. Susskind also added that the quality of the U. S. TV programs reached a record low this year and will be worse next year. Leslie Uggams is a success at 18. She is one of Mitch Miller's solo singers and has a Columbia records ing contract. Leslie says that the real starting point of her career was the day she sent a postal card to “Name That Tune” back in 1958. She submitted a list of songs for the program and added the fact that she sang. When she was chosen to be a contestant they told her that she would be allowed to sing. The first song she sang was “The Whole World in His Hands.” She sang it with her heart in her eyes and with ga voice that seemed created just for singing. The re- action was so favorable that she was asked to sing on each pro- gram for six weeks. After this invitations began com- ing her way. She appeared on Jack Parr’s, Jimmy Dean’s and the Andy Williams’ Show. It was on these shows that she “attracted the attention of Mitch Miller of Co- lumbia Records. : Leslie says she is glad she is on the Mitch Miller show because it has the right kind of music for her. She is not a rock and roll singer. . Leslie plans to go to college and major in music. She believes that too many young singers put too much faith in their singing ability and mot enough in, planning for the future when success may be a thing of the past. Carol Burnett, .the best comed- ienne on television will be visited by the ‘Person to Person’ show on Friday, June 30. : TBS-V cameras will focus on her terrace apartment in the heart of Manhattan.

Carol will share the program with Horst Buchlelz, known asthe “new Valentino,” who stars in “Fanny” with Maurice Chevalier. Charles Collingwood visited him in Paris some time ago. Although the ‘Person to Person’ summer series will be new to view- ers, the programs all were made long ago—before the series was cancelled. Connie Stevens of “Hawaiian Eye” was born Concetta Ann in Brooklyn August 8, 1938, to Peter and Eleanor (McGinley) Ingolia. Her father is the professionally- known Teddy Stevens. He played bass and piano as a nightclub en- tertainer for 38 years. Jerry Lewis gave Connie her first important break when he selected her for his leading lady role in his New York production, ‘Rock-a-bye- Baby.” : She then appeared in two of ‘Warner Brothers’ productions for “Sugarfoot” and “Maverick.” She was selected for “Hiawaiian Eye” even before a script had been written ‘for the projected series. (Connie attended schools in Brooklyn and New Jersey. She was president of her freshman high school and created a furor when she convinced the faculty that the final game of the World Series should be tuned im. All bedlam broke loose among the students as the game grew in excitement and Connie was removed as the fresh- man’s guiding light. The class later voted her most popular and most likely to succeed. ‘When she moved to Los Angeles later, she transferred to the Holly- wood Professional School.

Waters SR ae Half a century ago, or a little more, a favorite pastime was a steamboat ride around Harveys Lake, either continuous of with a stop off at the “Picnic Ground’. We have had a liking for inland boat trips ever since, but like the Harveys Lake Line, most of them are no longer operating. ’ At the western end of New York State the old Niagara Gorge Route connecting with a Lake Ontario boat at Lewistown for Toronto made an exciting ride. The Gorge Route was a dilapidated affair, running a string of obsolete connected street cars down a steep incline along the Gorge below the Falls. It showed no eyid- ence of air brakes and moved with lurches and jerks to: stir up | the timid. It, was torn out many years ago but the shelf which the track was laid can still be seen. This is historic country. The French explored it and built Fort Niagara as a vital link in the chain down" the Ohio and Missi- ssippi and same purpose, being a base from which operations were staged and to which Tories and/Ind- ians flocked. Much of the fighting in the War of 1812 was in this wvicin- ity. ; It was 4 short trip across Lake Ontario to Toronto, where a change was made to the “Kingston” for an overnight trip via Rochéster and The Thousand Islands to the head of the St. Lawrence. The boat had comfortable staterooms and excel- lent meals, some amusements, and plenty of opportunity to relax. The next morning we changed to a smal- ler boat for the trip down the River, shooting the Rapids. This was a real thriller, especially near Mon- treal. There the river floor was like a set of big steps and the boat drop- ped over them with a thud. The River portion of the trip was dis- continued long ago, the lake por- tion later. The new Seaway restores boat service but without any rap- ids. Then we enjoyed the trip up Lake Champlain from Plattsburg to Ti- conderoga on the old “Vermont. This is a big lake, a hundred and eighteen miles long, twelve miles wide at the widest part, average about four, with many peninsulas and islands. The Green Mountains form a backdrop on the east, the Adirondacks on the west: Another fine trip that is no more. [And Lake George in those days had plenty of boat service. To the beauty of the scenery and other common attractions there was ad- ded a special treat not scheduled. A large group of French-Canadian back at ‘Ticonderoga and boys, maybe young college students or high school seniors, enjoyed a native jam session singing their | songs. Their ‘Allouctte” was really something. The trip through the two | lakes make a long but pleasant day. The area of Lakes CHamplain and George and the continuing valley of the Hudson is probably the most historic ‘area of its size on thé American continent. Indians roamed and fought here long before Cham- plain. and Hudson, @ within three months of each other in 1609, ex- plored the waters named for them. Adventurous explorers, trappers, “coureurs de bois”, and Jesuit mis- siomaries, traveled throughout the area. ‘Militia and regular troops rep- | resenting the French, Dutch, Eng- lish, and later American, moved back and forth, winter and summer. Over ice or with snowshoes, through forest paths or by specially made | military roads, and particularly on the streams and lakes, for over two hundred years. . Some movements involved a sing- le canoe and a few men, others many boats and large numbers. One expedition had over a thousand boats in a line six miles long, mov- ing eight or ten thousand British northward under Gen. Abercrombie against the French. He was thrown accom- plished nothing. A year later a sim- ilar army under Gen. Amherst took the Fort which remained in the ‘hands of the English until Ethan Allen made his famous capture at the" beginning \ of the Revolution. After Americans had tried an un- successful attack against Canada, Gen. Burgoyne led a big army south and was forced to surrender after two pitched battles near Saratoga. For centuries skirmishes and bat- tles were common all over the area and massacres not uncommon. Forts were built, besieged, captured, or abandoned, and sometimes burnt or blown up. There were naval bat- tles on the Lakes between fleets of locally made boats. In every one of the Intercolonial Wars there was action here. It was the area of the turning point in _the Revolution, and the scene of the most noted treason in our history. There was activity in the War of 1912; even an abortive invasion by Confeder- ates on Oct. 19, 1864. Although the Hudson is navi- gable to Albany, most of the best scenery is from Kingston down. We enjoyed all or portions of the trip at least half a dozen times. Through scheduled boat service on this route is also discontinued. told in the language 100 Years Ago ThisWeek...in THE.

Bald It's surprising how much confusion is created in a sizable house occupied only by a man-under-foot, a wife, an 88-year-old mother- in-law, three dogs, two cats, a parakeet and—glory of glories—the woman who cleans. ar After being shunted from pillar-to-post, I have reached some definite conclusions on domestic tranquillity! I can see no sense in making the beds every morning! They can just as well be aired and the sheets smoothed of wrinkles with as little energy as possible. Why should the counterpane be’ “so neatly smoothed out and tucked in over the pillows—arranged “just so”’—when the whole thing is going to be mussed again in a few hours! 3 What do I care if the doctor, the telephone installer, the plumber, the cleaning woman or an occasional visitor finds the beds looking as though I had slept in them—instead of on the floor! Who cares what the public thinks ? Beds should be private—Ilike underwear. I never could appreciate making dust cloths out of good undershirts or a pair of shorts .". . just because they might have a small hole in them. But there's a theory around eur house that the ones I like best belong in the rag bag—on the supposition and fear that I might some day get hurt and be found lying along the road in an automobile accident! = Who cares what the first aid man, the ambulance driver, or the bone setter thinks? I never thought they'd be looking for holes in your socks when there might be one in your head! 4 And whoever dreamed up this labor-saving idea of tearing the beds apart, changing the sheets and pillow cases, when the bed in the spare room has been used just once by your uncle, cousin or aunt—who like as not will use it again this week-end! Housewives, I find, are no gamblers. They are profligate wasters of energy. They-love to disturb a house—and create ever bigger laundry bills. A properly entertained and fed guest—be he family or stranger —should be tired or bored, or considerate enough to sleep anywhere. Who would think of changing the sheets if George Washington or. Brigette Bardott had slept here? Might just as well reupholster the sofa after Jackie Kennedy had wrinkled her skirts on it, or discard a cushion after Shirley Temple had squashed. it. : Whoever thought of a man’s house as his castle didn’t reckon on what women have learned from their grandmothers apd Good- housekeeping Magazine, nor did they consider the telephone . .-. nor the doorbell—at mercy of every door-or-door salesman, wander- ing minstrel, pedestrian who has lost his way, census enumerator, baker, auction solicitor,’ Every-member-get-a-member canvasser, Welcome Wagon hostess, small fry looking for lost dogs, vacuum cleaner man, assessor, tree surgeon, meter reader, magazine sales- man and itinerant soul-saver who reads passages of scripture to me and informs me that only 135,000 souls will be admitted to Heaven and do I want to be one—as I stand there attentive, one hand on the half opened doorway.

And strictly non-skid. And that’s what I get for wearing a pair of sneaks on a rainy day. = It took two stout clerks to haul me up off the floor after I had measured my length. : ‘When one of my children was little, she was much puzzled. Why, she wondered, did a person who was taking a spill, stop to measure his length? Or for the matter of that, describe a parabola? It seemed to her that there would hardly be time for geometric ob- servations while flying through the air. There wasn’t time last week. There was the skid, the frantic groping for balance, and the catastrophe. And it was most undignified. But it did not result in a broken leg, so who cares? A sprained shoulder, I can live with. I can even type. A broken leg would probably immobilize me, though perhaps I could have a walking iron imbedded in the cast. It's nice to be tough, but the older you get, the less tough you become, and from this time forward I am going to avoid visiting stores. with slick floors on rainy days. ; ’ Any ‘time you can walk away from an accident, you're way ahead of the game.

Taney of the U.S. Supreme Court for an explanation of the executive order suspending the writ of habeas corpus when ‘public safety” was involved. Mr. Lincoln’s reply was not made directly to Justice Taney, but was incorporated in a message toe the 37th congress. The House and Senate opened its session today amid fanfare and a wartime setting. Washington Troops Pass in Review The president, cabinet members and Gen. Winfield Scott, head of the army, reviewed a parade of 20,000 troops in Pennsylvania av. before the session opened. . Another 60,000 troops, off ‘duty for the holiday, thronged streets and saloons in the capital. In his explanation of the habeas corpus order, Mr. Lincoln asserted that ‘it was not believed that any law was violated.” ’ State of Rebellion Held to Exist He recalled that soon after the first call for militia, he felt he must authorize the commanding general, at his discretion, to suspend the privilege of the writ as applied to ‘‘such individuals as he might deem dangerous to the public safety.” ; “This authority has been exercised but very sparingly,’’ Mr. Lincoln continued, adding: ‘““The provision of the Constitution that ‘The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when, in cases of rebel- lion or invasion, the public safety may require it’ is equivalent to a . provision—is a provision—that such privilege may be suspended when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety does require it.” A state of rebellion exists at the present and the suspension order is justified; the president concluded. .
