',U Preston, the hypnottst, is rfhown hypnotizing “Miss Universe,” the former Miriam Stevenson, on his television show some time ago. Preston will present his stage show at the Clinton High School audi torium on Monday and Tuesday nights. Feb. 3 and 4, at 8 o’clock, under the auspices of the Clinton Jaycee Chapter. In addition to his show of magic, Preston will hypnotize volunteer subjects from the audience, causing them to perform many strange and unbelievable antics while under his “spell.” On Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock, he will hypnotize a Clinton per son (probably a girl) over radio station WPCC. The person will be in the window of Maxwell Bros. & Wilkes Furniture Store on N. Broad Street, while Preston will speak to him (or her) from the radio station studios, and will be awakened that evening on the stage of the high, school.

"The Eisenhower Administration has made a dramatic last-minute budget decision: To provide even more money for missiles than any sum planned so far. “As a resWt, total budget spend ing for the year starting next July will n o t only climb to another peacetime record but will at least approach, and may surpass, the Ko rean War high of five years ago— though a balanced budget is still the target ’’ Are we Americans nervous, even hysterical? We act in that manner. Whatever the Russians may have achieved beyond our own accom plishment that cannot be overcome merely by pouring out bullions. We have already spent so much money on Atomic Power and missiles of every kind that we should have far surpassed all the rest of the world if money were the principal factor. Let’s be reasonable, even sensible. We need, apparently, a dozen su per physicists, whose grasp and range equal that of the Russians, We shall accomplish very little by scares and frights and wholesale outpouring of money.

Chronicle Publishing Company ^ Gary St. Phone 74 found no support in his own coun try. Years ago I read hjs tribute to the mbchanical ability of Russians - It is still worth reading. He marvel led at their ability. What do our experts learn by liv ing in foreign capitals? Is life- just parades and a series of highballs? Is our foreigh service only a social veneer? Or is it worthwhile? I must believe that we have as much ability here as may be found anywhere else. It may be that our Bure^jjcraeysvdoes'fiot attract or en list the genuises whose flights of fancy take them into the realms of speculation undreamed of by us or j dinary intellects. But we must have them; surely they are available Our reaction to the urgency of our need is typical of Americans: We will pour out a few more bililojis. With pomp and parade and bluster we put our trust in money. I am confident that we have in America enough real capability in obscure places to serve the nation competently in any crisis. We must j rememtH-r that the same blundering staff work before Pearl Harbor seems to be the order of the day; we never rise to the occasion except through numerous blunders. Everywhere we hear or read “Let's appropriate another billion.” Well, why not examine the National budget and take off a few billionsji using the money for the most Urgent matters? Why not put our house in. order, doing away with favoritism and letting all stand on ^ plane of equality biTore the law? Why have tax favorites, or groups that do not pay taxes” Why not set about re storing that Equality before the Law which we used to cherish so warmly, but which we have utterly repudiated for the sake of votes’ We are spending too much money now; it is not rAnre money we need but more prudent use of the flood now about to engulf us!! Am.-rica needs nothing so much as a liberal dose of ojd time Com mon sense: We urgently need it. We need a man of the Calvin Coolidge type in the White House, or anotlier Grover Cleveland, sturdy old battler with his ready veto. Today the President and fhe Con gress, Republicans and Democrats, are running a wild race to spend this nation into bankruptcy, heed lessly squandering the j resources of the nation. * * » What is on the docket? Let us read an Associated Press story from Washington that was carried in the daily papers one day last week: ^ “Sen. Chavez (D-NM), tuning up for the Congressional battle over defense spending, suggested today the Eisenhower administration use the money it has before asking for a big increase. New funds alone is not the answer lb today’s needs, he said in a state- mmenU and no budget such as sug gested by unnamed White House persons in the press will get an OK.’* | If President Eisenhower as)qs for a record peacetime budget of 40 billion dollars for the Defense De partment, the senator said, ’there will be some rough going in the Congress.’ Chavez is chairman of the Senate Appropriations sub - committee which handles the annual defense money bill. Eisenhower is expected to present Confess with a 40 billion dollar plurdofense budget next month, In- efuding an extra two billion for mis sies and space vehicles, anti-subma rine defenses and new bases on which to disperse the Slaretgic Air Force. The money would be for the fiscal year ending July 1. Defense spending in this fiscal year had been estimated at around 384 billion dollars? But last week Secretary of' Defense McElroy dis- closed he intended to ask Congress for a billion more for use before June 30. It would be invested in the missile pirugram.
