Our Birthday Today marks the newspaper’s one year of operation in Scottsdale. The paper pledges growth and continued opposition to confiscatory taxation while inviting readers to use letter columns and celebrate the birthday with customary toast.
The piece notes the Boston Red Sox visit Scottsdale after the primary election and uses playful lines about umpires and political figures to contrast baseball and public discourse. It riffs on cultural touchstones from FDR to Barry Goldwater and Dizzy Dean while urging readers to relax at the ballpark.
A Scottsdale reader commends parade effort and urges more candidate forums before elections. The letter highlights flag respect, civic involvement, and the value of diverse viewpoints in a free press.
Barry Goldwater describes Communist strategy as a total war combining political methods with military force to destroy public order and subvert loyalties. He argues Russia’s nuclear tests signal a broader aim to erode institutions and reshape objectives rather than seek traditional national power.
The piece questions Barry’s stance on Communism and its aims in society. It argues that stripping people of victory arms weakens the nation and seeks an explicit response from the addressed figure about his position on the issue.
The piece lists methods to gain political visibility in the U.S. Congress. It notes holding numerous news conferences and appearing on radio and TV. It mentions issuing statements, being available for comment, and giving speeches on the Senate floor.
Hayden, an 84 year old Democrat from Arizona, marks his 50th year as a member of Congress next Monday. He began serving late after statehood and rose to president pro tempore and chair of the appropriations committee, now a powerful figure in government.
New York Assemblyman Mark Lane, a Democrat, campaigns against Gov. Rockefeller shelter policy. Lane accuses Speaker Joe Carlino of advancing the program for personal gain and links Carlino to Lancer Industries. Democratic leaders dismiss the charges while Lane presses onward in the March on Albany.
Lane seeks the 19th District seat held by Democrat Leonard Farbstein. Farbstein, with a 100 percent ADA score, is seen as too liberal for Lane who campaigns amid Red-hunt rhetoric. Lane’s bio notes ALP enrollment in 1948 and departure in 1952 as party influence waned.
A hard core GOP faction angrily critiques Nixon era handling and the 1964 Rockefeller challenge, arguing party reform was blocked by Sherman Adams era patronage. They claim Eisenhower’s popularity masked a stagnant GOP, demanding a broader overhaul amid internal divisions and Rockefeller’s weakened bid.
The piece argues Eisenhower sees Romney as a superior candidate but warns Republicans lament the rise of amateurs and dirty campaign work. It notes urban problems, Birch Society condemnations, and frustration over fundraising, party image, and loyalty to core voters.
