On Mother’s Day
•jnHE MOST IMPORTANT tribute to mother in modern times

resolution making the second Sunday in May a national holiday
|!§i£kated to the memory of the best mother in the world, vour
mother.” ' “‘ ... •
Today, thoughtful children express their feelings on Mother’s
fl®y wirh gifrc and Modicr’s Dsy greeting cards.
This warmly sentimental word-portrait—"What Is a Mother?”
was found on a greeting card:
FOR YOU, MOTHER, ON MOTHER’S DAY
WITH SPECIAL LOVE AND GRATITUDE
A Mother is a wonderful creature constructed almost
entirely of love, and this she can express in a million ways,
from hugs and kisses, and good cooking, and patient
listening to stern lectures, stria rules, and repeated use of
the word NO”! Like snowflakes, no two mothers are
alike, but they have a number of things in common. Name
anything ... a Mother can be found washing it, roasting
it, polishing it, getting rid of it, repairing it, spanking it,
packing it, redecorating it, loving it, or talking it over at
PTA. A Mother cares about and for almost everything:
gardens* pets, the state of the nation, the worn spot in the
rug, hungry people, and most of all, "Father” and her
children, for these she can do anything, dare anything,
and fight for anything necessary to their happiness. A
Mother is not always an angel. She will often disagree
with you . . . expea too much of you . . . question your
choice of friends ... and bring up the subjea of work
when you feel the least energetic. But she’s always ready
to help when you need her. You don’t always tell a
Mother how much you love her, or how much you hope
the most wonderful things in the world will come to her
because there are no words that express feelings so deep
and sincere. Somehow, though, you feel she understands
what’s in your heart. Mother’s always do !

JFK’S DOMESTIC POLICY
WASHINGTON UR — Former
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
expressed strong disapproval to the
Kennedy administration’s domestic
program — its “heavy spending
on all fronts” and moves for in
creased Presidential powers. But
he called for full support for its
foreign policy.
The ex-President, facing a room
full of reporters at a news confer
ence in the old Senate Office Bldg.,
said no one, in or out of office,
had sufficient knowledge to criti
size President Kennedy on his
foreign policy.
On the domestic front, however,
Eisenhower said he had “radical
differences” with Kennedy. He
read a prepared statement express
ing concern over:
“First, the strenuous efforts of |
the administration to increase
greatly the power of the executive
branch of government.
“Second, administration insis
tence upon increasingly heavy fed
eral spending on all fronts.”
Eisenhower said the problem of
the Presidency rarely is lack of
power.
“Ordinarily,” he said, “the prob
lem is to use the already enormous
power of the Presidency judicious
ly, temperately and wisely.”
In a question and answer period,
Eisenhower declined, however, to
express an opinion on the way
Kennedy used his power in the
steel price situation and forced a
rollback of a price increase.
“To take sides would indicate I
approve of what the steel com
panies did,” he said. “And I don’t
have the facts to know whether a
56 a ton raise was warranted.”
Eisenhower appeared to enjoy
he familiar routine of reporters ■
popping questions at him end -
landled the conference with ease
and humor.

GOV. EGAN BELIEVES
ACS WILL BE TRANSFERRED
FROM ARMY TO AIR FORCE
WASHINGTON UR ~ Gov. Wm
Egan of Alaska said he got the
impression Wednesday that the
Alaska Communications System
will be transferred from the Army
to the Air Force.
"It appears that such a transfer
is going to be effected/’ said Egan
after discussing the matter with
military officials at the Pentagon.
“There is no indication when it
might be done; they are giving it
a lot of thought,” Egan added.
A special effort, he said, is being
made to avoid hardship for civilian
employes of the government-own
ed system which supplies civilian
as well as military communication
service in Alaska.
"After yesterday’s talks, I think
the transfer isn’t going to have
any negative effect on service or
workers. Quite likely it will make
for even greater efficiency,” Egan
added.
The governor said he planned
to talk informally with various
members of Congress and others
about state matters and go to New
York to discuss financial subjects,
such as bond issues, with some
people there. He intends to be back
in Juneau by Saturday.
Some women seem to think the
place for their children is at the
