The rate at which the county^s economy pr(>-gresses usually determines how rapidly the taxable property within the county increases. This in turn determine.s how much revenue the local government may expect from its ad valorem tax rate If cost of local government operations go up without an off-setting increase in taxable property, the tax rate must go up to produce sufficient revenues to meet the increased appropriations.

WASHINGTON <AP) French President Charle.s cle ^ Gaulle, in front of a splendid red silk curtain, talked to a news conference HO minutes Monday and bru.shed off a.s if it were stupid one of the most important questions.

He was asked his ideas about a successor.

De Gaulle, 72, has another three years to go as president. When he took power five year.s ago, Prance, in political chaos since World War II, was teetering toward civil war. Politics were a nightmare.

After five years, he has failed to achieve lasting political reform or to provide for what comes after him. He once said: "After me. a mess."

Thus, while his whole career has been dedicated to the restoration of French grandeur and Influence, he has done little to make sure France after him will have the stability necessary to endure.

For this read.son, he gives the Impre.ssion of a mystic trying to play a celestial slot machine.

i\)r years he ha.s pulled the lever, .seeking the right combination to fit his dreams: a new Europe under French leader-.shlp, a firm new relatloiKship with Germany. p<rhaps a new relationship with the Soviet Union and an undeniable place for himself in history. It has eluded him.

But he acts and talles, as he did Monday, as if it were only a matter of time when somehow, perhaps becau.sc it's De Gaulle wishing it .so. he will give the lever a magic pull and hear that tinkling, tumbling sound that mcan.s a jackpot.

Three years ago in Washington, to Congress and newsmen, he made casing relations with the Soviet Union "paramount."

That was jiust three weeks before Premier Klu-ushchev broke up the summit conference in Paris with De Gaulle, President

Dwight D. Eisenhower and Brl-tl.sh Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.

But last week Khrushchev finally agreed with the United States and Britain on a nuclear test ban in the atmosphere, outer space and under w'ater. De Gaulle wanted no part of it. He .said the world situation hasnt changed "one whit." He said France would not join.

Khrushchev last week talked of an East-We.st nonaggi'es-sion pact. Maybe its a pipe dream. But De Gaulle made it impossible by saying France wanted no part of that, either.

He said Prance tiTa.sures the We.stern Alliance nations. But hes unhappy with NATO, the military organization which gives the alliance meaning.

He said Fiance will go on making nuclear weapons, un-ies.s the United States and the Soviet Union de.stroys theirs. This is so far in the future it's invisible. So France has a good excuse, by De Gaulle's reasoning. to go on making weapons.

On June 25 President Kennedy pledged in Germany certainly for the benefit of France to risk the destruction of American cities in defense of Western Europe.

Two da.V8 later De Gaulle told what he thought of this through his Information minister, Alain Peyrefltte, who warned Europe against trusting its security completely and Indefinitely to the United States.

He said no one knows what. Washingtons policy will be 10 years from now. after Kennedys presidency, and mentioned that American neutrality in 1914 and 1939 do not inspire confidence now.

By this same reasoning of De Gaulle it would be Impos.sible for the United States to trust France as an ally for in 10 years De Gaulle also probably will be gone and even he doesn't know what kind of France tliere will be then.

The letter that came to our de.sk last week, couched in the Indignant phrases of a parson in Milwaukee, fairly bristled with Increduility and rage. Some-w'here this revered gentleman had come across a remark we had made, defending the "right to discriminate.

"Right to discriminage! !" he cried, adding an extra bang-mark to convey his amazement "How can you, as an American, defend a right to discriminate? Dont you know this is opposed to everything American stands for?"

It Is useless, we have found, to reply to a man who multip-lle.s his bang-marks. Reason cannot penetrate so tight a fence. But the parsons question prompt a few more remarks a-long the same line.

No one in the world, we might .say to the gentleman, has a bettor right than an American to defend "the right to discriminate." A fair argument can be made, indeed, that this right is exactly what American stands for. A large part of the Constitution is dedicated to preserving it. And every time goveni-ment encroaches upon the citizens right to discriminate, we get a little bit less American; we lo.se a little more of t h e personal liberty the Constitution wa.s intended to make secure.

Such a proposition, we w'ould agree, takes a little getting used to. In the field of semantics, as in monetary policy, a sort of Greshams law often operates: Bad meanings tend to drive out the good. It u.sed to be that dls-rrimination was a fine word; a discriminating person was a person of taste and refinement in the old automobile ads slie drove a Duc.senhcrg. Today the attractive connotations of the word have been lost altogether and the act of "discriminating" in.stantly is thought of as an irrational act.

All right; accepting the word in its current usage: Where did the alien idea spiing up that Americans should be compelled, b.v law, to be rational? The whole tradition of this Republic condemns the veryldea. The genius of American freedom lie*

In the individuals right to be wrong. It lies In his right to be prejudiced, arbitrary, capricious, discriminatory In h i s right to stand apart from a herd, one man, non-conforming, howling his private lunacies at the moon.

The great charters of the Republic make this wholly clear. No one ever imagined, in defending man's right to the pursuit of happiness, that government would compel all men to pursue happiness in just the same way. The rights of free press and free exercise of religion were intended to protect the attic pamphleteer and the Faith Healer no less than the great publishers and the orthodox creeds.

Our whole political and economic system is based upon a right to discriminate. When a citizen votes "straight Democratic" or "straight Republican," he is discriminating as certainly as he discriminates when he serves white patrons only. The restaurant owner who hires men only as waiters discriminate against women: his competitor, who hires women only, discriminates against men. The consumer who arbitrarily decides to buy only Virginia cigarettes, or only Florida oranges, or only foreign cars, or only union made products, is engaged in discrimination. His prejudices, if you please, may be irrational. Nev-erthele.ss, they are his; he cherishes them; and a free country preserves his right to di.scrimi-nate agaimst Republicans, females. Camel cigarettes, California oranges. Detroit cars, and non-union workers if he wants to.

A world of difference divides "D i s c r i m a t i 0 n from the "right to discriminate. When it comes to eliminating discrimination by voluntary process, especially in the fields of race and religion, broad areas of agreement can be found. But when it comes to prohibiting discrimination by some act of Congress the most emphatic objections should be raised. Such laws infringe upon the right. They nibble at the rock of individual freedom; and they sink the small island of liberty a little deeper in the statist sea.

Smythe trudged back to his desk and busied him.self neatly arranging the paper clips in the top drawer.

At noon he went to lunch with three old cronies. He pulled out some snapshots taken during his vacation, but nobody seemed interested in them.

After lunch Smythe re-sharp-ened his pencils until 3 o'clock when he received a surprise summons from the big boss.

Handing him a cigar, the big boss said:

"Smythe. youve been doing a splendid job for the finn the last few weeks, and I just want to let you know first - hand therell be an extra $20 on your next paycheck."

"But, sir. I've been on vacation for the last three weeks."

"Arent you Ed Smythe from sales?"

"No, '^r, Im Jim Smythe in accounting."

The big boss reached out, plucked back his cigar and said, "My mistake, Smythe. But remember, no matter what department yourre in keep up the good work.

Upon leaving the office Smith walked alone to his favorite tavern.

"Well, well, well welcome back, Mr. Smythe, said the bartender. "Sure did miss you. Did you have a nice vacation?

Smythe leaned his forehead on the shiny mahogany bar and broke into tears. He was very very late getting home that night.

Last week I sat through a panel discusslwi of Cold War education at the Governors Conference in Miami Beach. Aside from the introduction ^ Governor Parris Bryant of Florida'of several aerial photographs of ndel Castros prison for political dissenters on the Isle rf Pines, the panel moved on such a rarefied academic high level that It proved suffocating.

Since the governors were hardly a hundred miles away from the Cold War reality of a thoroughly subverted and strick-en Cuba, it is too bad that they did not avail themselves of the "education that they might have gotten by mixing with some of the thousands of Cuban refugees who throng the Miami region. It may contribute to the education of high school students in Utah or North Carolina if the courses in civics and American history are laced with sturdy references to the principles of freedom. But a strict diet of abstractions can put ths young mind to sleep. The problem that none of the governor* on the panel, with the exception of Governor Bryant, seemed to recognize was the one of conveying what it feels like to be faced with Communism In the concrete.

It would have been easy to remedy the panel deficiency by summoning, say, a couple of exiled Cuban court reporters who from a Miami base, keep a strict monitoring watch oft Havana radio broadcasts, or, better yet, some young Cubans who recently took a small boat back to their home island and tangled with some of Castros militia. They had to kill a couple of miltiamen to make their e.s-cape, and they performed the astounding feat of capturing two uniformed Castromen and bringing them back to-Florida. The ^ U. S.. naturally, returned the Castromen to Havana. We dont believe' in tweaking Castros beard.

The reality of the Cold War, as it is fought in southern Florida, is that our government isnt interested in helping anyb 0 d y fight it. We reserve a cold malevolence for people who take the Cold War seriously. Helicopters keep close watch on suspicious looking small boats; to send agents into Cuba, the exiles have to contend not only with their enemies but with the organized police and military power of a great nation that should be on their side. The British in the Bahamas coop

erate with the^. S' Coast Guard and Navy in protecting

Castro against intrusion.s, and the Britfh "a"a"f)lir bit of trading with the bearded tyrant w ho has been doing his be.st to contribute to the subversion of the old colony of British Guiana not far over the southern horizon.

What a boon to Cold War education in American high schools if the students in Spanish classes were to be permitted to translate from the transcrpits of the Cuban exiles monitoring service which keep track of every loud whisper to the south of us. The students might learn, for example, that it is Fidel Castro's tactics to refer to the build-up of a-rcfugee military band in Nicaragua as something that Is being promoted by partisans of the dead Dominican dictator Trujillo. (This, is, oL course, Fidel Castros idea of a smear.) They might get some refracted news of the exten.sive Castro - aided Communist campaign of terror being conducted in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, The terror in Caracas, so the Castroites boast and the Cuban exiles lament, is even further advanced than the very similar terror which the anti-Batista groupsr we#e sponsoiing in Havana back In 19.58. Bombings, the severing of pipe line.s, the murder of good democrats, have become a nightly practice by the Communist FALN in Venezuela and ranchers to the south of Caracas now carry guns to bed with them, as the British settlers in Kenya did at the height of the Mau Mau dis-tuibances.

This is the Cold War that did not obtrude into the governors panel discussion at the Hotel Deauville in Miami Beach save when Floridas Govenior Bryant brought out his pictures. The governors know that our official federal policy is to keep Amrr-icarus from tiading with Castro. But Governor Romney of Mh-igan would have been interested to hear some of the refugee* (Continued On Page 5)

THE POWER OF A PLEASANT SMILE

Dwight L. Moody tells an In-tei'esting story of how he smiled a whole fumlly into church.

It .seems that as Mr. Moody went every day from his home to his study in the church, he pa.ssrd a certain house at the whidow of wiiich he once noticed a child. Ho .'smiled at the clilld. and the child smiled back at him. The next day when he passed, there wa.s an older chUd standing beside the younger. Tt became an established thing for the childivn to l)e there at a certain tlnie to smile Hi this kindly man and wave their greetings. Finally the okl-r children appealed at the window also, and at last the mother. From this contact, wlilcli Ixgan with a .mile of a child, Moody al last found

his way Into the home, and the people found their way into Moodys church.

Try smiling people into things you want them to do. There is a type of man who trle.s to get what he wants In the world by the quick use of a heavy hand and by frightening people w ith liarsh word.s.

It may be that government efforts to revive chronically depressed areas are futile. Take an area in which it is no longer profitable to mine coal: hilnging in a textile factory or retraining townspeople to weave rugs will be only temporary palliative. Wave after wave of rehabilitation programs may sweep over the ai-ea but, if the economic resouices of the region are exhau.sted. no help will be permanent. The inhabitants had be.st pack and move to where .lohs are.

Sidney C. Sufrln. Syracuse Un-lver.-ity economics professor, dldn t go quite that far in an article In New York Universitys economic magazine "Challenge" for July, but he said pretly chx'^e to that. He did con-(liule that a1.se laiblie sliuuld not make llie mistake of "trying to resuscitate regions which are not adaptable to the industrial technology of the mid^* 2ftth century. Nineteenth century America rio.ssrd the ron-lincnt to find new opportunity.

Twentieth - century Amciicans can at least bear the hardship of moving to a neighbori n g .state."

ARE MII.LIONS BEING WASTED?

Professor Sufrin pointed out that the Area Redevelopm e n t Act has set up a four - year program providing $;)0 million in low - interest, long - term loans to help distie.ssed areas rehabilitate them.selve.s. These fund.s aie supplemented by $7.5 million in Federal giants to con.striict additional public facilities and $4.5 million more for technical assistance.

A second Federal piogram provides $433 million for the retraining of 40n.(H)ft workers while another 2.50.(KK) workcr.s will be retrained on the Job. Other Federal programs, .such a.s new pidilic works. Small Bn.sluei..s Admiiii.siraion pro-grum> and uilivr guMrnmeut aid.s will offer additional help.

"But these extraordinary financing ot)erations have on 1 y lieen .succe.ssful whrrcShe corri-munitics in quc.stion enjoy ad

vantages that make them attractive to business, in those arca.s wliich have been chronically rlc-pres.scd, the success of such efforts has, on the whole, been slight, he wrote.

RICH GET RICHER Furthermore, he contended, when booms come, the already prosperous areas benefit while the depre.s.sed areas do not. In boom.s, "labor shortages, a.s they develop, are salved by using the unemployed of the cl-tic.s, working overtime, or by attracting people from the hinterlands. often from chronically drpre.ssed areas. , . .

"The obvious coiiclu.sion is that labor migration and retraining and high standards of education are the crux of any .solution for combatting chronic unemployment." *

Meaiuvhile, Arthur F. Burns. pit-Mdfiil of the National Huirn i.f Economic Re.search and lornwr chairman of the Council of Economic Advisor.s to President Elsenhower, .states in the Survey, published by tlie Morgan Guaranty Trust Co.. that

the U. S. cannot deal with unemployment until it knows the niimljer of job vacancies. Statistics on vacancies are "a vjtal mi.ssing link in our entire system of economic intelligent:^," he declared. Only if job openings are compared with job-seekens can we determine tiue unemployment, he contended. THESE OTHER REMEDIES

In addition to firmer stgtis-tic.s, Dr. Burns de.scribed:

1. ,A .serious need to revmp the insurance systcffi so that more effective aid would be given to unemployed workeri in finding new jobs.

2. A need to devise ways of administration that wtould st^ct-ly withhold benefits from those who quit their jobs without good cause or who arc unwilling to accept .suital)le work.

3 A need to"u.se the Inaur-anee .system to enlarge the re-traliilny opportunities for wprk-er.s who can liave little hop* In their own trade.
