Patience And Fortitude Americans cannot be happy at the steady deterioration of U.S. Cuban relations since Fidel Castro took power a year ago. Castro himself is responsible for most of this, having deliberately undermined a long standing friendby persistent and unwarranted attacks upon the United ship States. In this circ*mstance, the temptation is great here to strike back. Strident cries have arisen in Washington and elsewhere to apply sanctions against Cuba, particularly, by reducing Cuba's quota in the vital American sugar market.
The idea, of course, is that such measures would bring the irresponsible, emotional Castro "to heel." Wisely, the American government seems determined to resist this temptation. Despite all the provocations- -and they are many--President Eisenhower appears set on a path of continued patience. Many things suggest the good sense of this course. For one, we unfortunately live in a time when disgruntled governments almost anywhere on earth can resort to a to put themselves in bond to the Soviet Union Red China very dangerous game of political blackmail. They threaten or both to get the help we may refuse them.
And they may carry out that threat. Communist influence already is heavy in the Castro government. Yet there certainly seems no point in enlarging it by pushing Castro into the Red embrace. Secondly, we are a. great nation and Cuba a tiny island.
Economic sanctions could quickly backfire, engendering strong sympathy for a beleaguered Cuba, especially in a tense, watching Latin America. Some argue that other Latin countries, impressed by Castro's defiance of America, may be encouraged to follow his lead and take a line at a sharp tangent away from support of the United States. This is a risk we must take. Squeezing Cuba surely would not endear us in Latin America. We can only hope that with clear eyes and good sense these peoples will judge Castro for what he truly is.
We can safely indicate our grave displeasure with Castro's property seizures, his unfounded criticisms, his whole shallow approach to the problems of governing. But we cannot hit him a body blow, We' must. hope the Cubans themselves will do that--in good time. When a man and his wife have a joint checking account it's usually the wife who runs the joint.

The Lone Eagle BY PETER EDSON NEA Washingten Correspondent President's Economic Report Gets Various Interpretations WASHINGTON -(NEA)- The A joint senate-house committee under Chairman Paul H. Douglas, Democrat, Illinois, should have a lot fun when, on Feb.
1, it begins a week's hearings President Eisenhowers new economic report to congress. It was prepared, of course, by the council of economic advisers, under Dr. Raymond J. Saulnier of Columbia university, Its general tone is that things are pretty good and going to stay that way all year, as all the trends are up. the report seems to be a number of different things to ditferent people.
It depends a good bit on which page you read, which paragraphs you mark and which sentences you underscore. And it hedges, to play safe. TO SOME OBSERVERS, the important thing in the, report is that the president is rallying the nation to. a new battle against inflation. But that's not emphasized nearly as much as it was last year and before.
The new emphasis is on the need to educate the public on productivity and price relationships--not inflation. To other reviewers, the important thing in the report is that it holds out hope for tax cuts at some unspecified time in the future. But that's pretty vague, Readers have to hunt pretty hard to find anything very new in the chapter on "A Legislative Program for 1960." Mostly, it is a restatement of proposals which the president has been making to congress. for the last several- years, and which congress has not been having any of. This is where the Douglas committee should have its fun, in an election year, as Democrats attack and Republicans rise to defend them.
REDUCTION OF THE NATION. AL DEBT, seems to have been substituted for tax reduction as the best means to stimulate economic growth. A. year ago, when the country was just coming out of the 1958 recession, the economic report said that, "The growth of the national economy was significantlv aided by the 1954 tax changes. They cut taxes seven billion dollars.
Last year's report went on to say that, "If the economy grows at the expected 'rate a significant additional step in tax reduetion can be taken in the foreseeable future." Nobody defines what the foreseeable future 1 is. But certainly there is no direct for tax cuts next year. On the other and to the contrary, the new report emphasizes that the congress this year is being asked to extend the present tax rates on corporate income and excise taxes on tobacco, automobiles and parts, transportation and phone service. These taxes will expire this year unless renewed by congress. So, instead of using the hopedfor 4.2 billion-dollar surplus of government revenues over ment expenses as a margin to reduce taxes in 1961, the administration wants this money used for debt reduction.
THE THEORY SEEMS TO BE that it is debt reduction, not tax reduction, which will "promote steady and vigorous economic growth -restrain inflationary pressures facilitate non-inflationary management of public debt." Only after a pattern of debt reduction has been over period of years should there be talk of tax reduction, according te the president's economic policies the new economic policy.

PLAYING bridge is like fishing. You can do it or not but there in between. You can day on the bank of a stream with fishing pole stuck in the mud beside you as you dream away the hours but this isn't fishing and you won't catch many fish. You can play bridge once in a blue moon using no accepted system of bidding and think you are playing bridge, but you aren't.
Like the fisherman, you are simply putting in your time. The only characteristic of the fisherman which makes him desirable is that he does his fishing without a partner or competition which is not true of the bridge player, and in the dim view of system players the independent operator is undesirable. They may be polite when they say they don't mind, but they aren't honest. And if there be a small stake on the game the outcast is apt to win it by merely confusing the system players. Have just finished reading an article about Billy Wilder who is a great name in Hollywood.
It is said when Wilder is directing a movie the set is like a party. There Is card playing, story telling and no apparent discipline. Even Wilder plays bridge, perhaps not on set, but somewhere, as he is said to bid in a most nonconformist fashion. Instead of saying, "I bid one no he will say "I bid one truculent no trump" or whatever adjective he feels fits. the hand.
He has a tremendous vocabulary and is sometimes over the heads of his partners and adversaries. I understand he plays excellent bridge and the Wilder touch enhances the This is the exception which proves the rule that bridge is entertaining but never amusing. El Reno has a new group of interested students hoping to learn the Goren system to such an extent they may not only be acceptable at the tables of the mighty but to inject a little Wilder touch of their own. Power to 'em. Bridge is one of the greatest pastimes of the age.

H. I. Featherly, director. The wooden implements, used by the Osage to pound corn and other seeds in preparation for food, are in perfect condition, Featherly says. One of Featherly's students, L.
E. Jones of Hominy, donated the mortar and pestle after obtaining them from members of his wife's family, Themselves members of the Osage tribe, they found the objects recently while cleaning out an attic. No one to date has been able to estimate the age of the implements, says Featherly. The mortar is 26 inches high, 11 inches in diameter and made from an unusually hard piece of slowgrowing pine. The hole in the mortar was, burned out with great care and is almost symmetrical.
The pestle, or pounding instru-lick ment, is 34 and a half inches long and made from walnut. It is tapered in the center and designed so that both ends can be used, each for a different size of grain or type of finished product, One of the major objectives of the museum is the collection, preservation" and display of historic and cultural materials in a safe and accessible manner, Featherly says. The museum, created by the OSU regents last year, also will provide a display space for objects of historical interest ing to the university, such as athletic and other trophies, portraits of distinguished faculty members, etc. "We have received excellent response and fine cooperation from everyone," Featherly says.
