PRESTON HYPNOTIZES "MISS UNIVERSE"
\
\
mpj'/
UJ tf- -w.
',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

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

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

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.”

budget and take off a few billionsji

matters? Why not put our house in.

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.
