ON THE SPOT
A Day in Honor of Law . . .
IF COMMUNISTS CAN GIVE new significances to
old terms, possibly free men can infuse some
change of meaning into a day widely observed in Eu
rope as a Marxist holiday. The American Bar Asso
ciation is undertaking to do something of this sort
by designating May 1 in the United States as Law
Day.
“Law Day U.S.A.” was first proclaimed by Presi
dent Eisenhower in 1958 and has been observed an
nually since. A program manual for the day, prepared
by the assocation, states as its purposes, “To foster an
increased respect for law, ... to encourage responsible
citizenship, . . . | and] to make more meaningful
Americans their heritage of individual freedom under
law.”
The value and importance of a government of
laws rather than of men has been well described by
John C. Cornelius in saying, “No person in the United
States is so big that he is above the law and none so
insignificant that he cannot look to the law for pro
tection.”
Governor Egan in his proclamation calls atten
tion to the fact that America’s greatest contribution
to civilization has been the respect it pays to Consti
tutional Law and further states “there are continuing
efforts to detract from the dignity of man through
suppression of the freedom of speech, freedom of the .
press, and the freedom of worship of all of which are
guaranteed by our Constitution and it is the duty of
each American to defend that which he believes.
He urges that the flags of our Nation and State
be displayed.

Plane Wailing
Displays Many
Types of Character
By Hal Boyle
CHICAGO, Midway Airport UP)
—Children are taught how to read
and write in our society, but no
one bothers to teach grownups
how to wait for airplane.
That is one of the big prob
lems with civilization — one has
to improvise the necessary arts.
The people who design airports
obviously have spent little time
in them. Otherwise they would
make them more habitable for
those who by chance — certainly
not by design — must spend more
time in them than they would by
choice.
Here are some of the characters
you can meet at almost any air
port, as they wait for that air
borne chariot to come along and
take them from here to there:
The true veteran — He tops a
dollar each to two airlines ticket
jockeys to wake him up, then
calmly spreads his coat in the mid
dle of the terminal floor and lies
down and goes to sleep. He knows
his plane has to be ready some
time.
The true amateur — “Why is
my flight late?” she demands, as
if airlines considered being tardy
a personal responsibility. “I in
tend to inform my congressman
about this.” Actually, her con
gressman is in another part of
the terminal waiting for his plane,
too. He would write her a letter
if he thought it would help him
get the plane he wants.
The compulsive muncher — He
keeps putting dimes in the candy
bar machine, dimes in the soft
drink machine, until he drops a
nickle on the floor. When he
ber.ds down to pick it up, melted
chocolate flows out of one ear,
root beer out of the other.
The cheap browser — He
glances through the magazines
and the paper-back books. By the
time his plane comes in he is
able to pass the Harvard test for
a doctorate in literature.
The flirt — He makes eyes at
one of the girls at the ticket
counter, finally offers to pay her
fare too and divorce his wife if
she can arrange for a plane on
which they can run away together
—anywhere.
The opportunist — He goes out
side, buys some real estate near
the airport, settles there and be
comes rich.
The worry wart — The longer
he waits for his plane to come
in, the more insurance be buys.
Twelve policies later, dripping
with sweat he taxis to the near
est railroad terminal. After wait
ing two days for a train, he then
goes home by bus.
Hirohito Observes 60th Birday
TOKYO UP) — Emperor Hirohito
observed his 60th birthday Satur
day.
Tens of thousands or subjects
thronged the palace grounds to
shout “banzai” long live and
cheer the democratic sovereign.
He looked hale and hearty.

r'irst Lady Gives
Ballet a Big Boost
WASHINGTON W —- Mrs.
Jacqueline Kennedy’s attendance
gave the Washington ballet a big
boost Friday night and she was
thanked for her dedication to the j
cultural community.
Th First Lady’s appearance
at the opening night of the ballet j
drew a round of applause from j
an audience of 1,500.
Later, when she stopped off j
at an after-theater party with the j
Ballet Guild at Famed Anderson j
House, Mrs. Kennedy paused to
shake hands and chat with beard- ;
ed British actor-producer Peter
Ustinov.
She had come from a White j
House dinner party and was ac-,
companied by her guests includ- '
ing Mr. and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Jr.
The dancers had waited their
arrival.
When they were seated in a j
center loge section, Eric John-;
ston, president of the Motion Pic
ture Assn, of America and a j
trustee of the Washington Ballet I
Guild, stepped before the curtain
and said Mrs. Kennedy’s “deep
dedication to the cultural com
munity . . . has inspired all of
us.”
That feminine touch: A Swed
ish experiment found that when
dairy barns were placed in charge
of a woman superintendent who
petted the cows and gave them
kindly, individual treatment, the
cows responded by increasing j
their output up to 40 per cent. j

Rioting Youths Turn
Galveston’s Splash Day
hito a Nightmare
GALVESTON, Tex. «■> — Thou
sands of rioting youths turned
Galveston’s gay Splash Day into a
nightmare for police officers Fri
day night and early Saturday.
City and county jails were filled
with jeering young men, many of
them apparently college students,
who staged impromptu fights a- d
hurled bottle and beer cans.
Police Chief O. E. Henson said
the disturbances started when the
youths began throwing beer bot
tles on the pavement on Seawall
Boulevard, near the bay.
Sheriff’s deputies were dis
patched to help local police. Fire
men sprayed hoses on the milling
crowd of youngsters.
Hospital emergency rooms soon
were jammed with rioters.
“We had them so thick in there
at one time that they were lined
up in the hall,” said Dr. Homer
Reed emergency physician at
John Sealv Hospital.
Splash Day is an annual event
which officially opens the ocean
bathing season.
