More Spaghetti

Last week the Journal ran a
picture of two packages of spa
ghetti, bought at the same store,
with a wide variation in price.
The Is ounce size was 10 cents
and was bought before the
price freeze. The second was
AN 8 ounce size, marked IA cents,
and bought at the same store ten
days later.
In order to get Is ounces of
spaghetti the second time the
buyer had to buy TWO 8 ounce
packages and pay 28 cents, be-
cause there were no is ounce
packages on the shelves. That
was the story - it was checked
and found accurate, - and the
Journal took, the pictures and
ran them.
The store ~ insisting that its
name not be mentioned - pro-
tests vigorously that the Is
ounce package is available and
that it is only 20 cents - an in
crease of / cent.

that he does not, according to
the store. -

We point out, however, that
the buyer on the day he was in
the store bought TWO packages
of the IA cent size, and paid 28
cents. No one told him that he
could get the same amount for
I19 or. 20 cents. His money was
accepted, lending, we think,
support to the checked fact that
there was not, on that day, any
of the 16 ounce size available.

hearings this week, CIO testi-
fled on these bills:
Voting Age - Rep. Homer
Abele (R., Vinton) wants 18-
year-old youths to have the
right to vote. CIO applauded his
bill (H.J.R.-5), saying, IF they
are old enough to fight, they
are old enough to vote" CIO
pointed out today's 18-year-olds
are far better educated and in
formed than 21-year~old boys of
the 18OO's.
Conveyor Belt Senate Ju-
dietary Committee heard pro-
ponents, with opponents to be
heard later. Following the di-

sized, however, the overall

Five minutes before Pollock
introduced the bill, he was sum
moned off the Senate floor by a
team of Big Business lobbyists
In the group, waiting in the cor
ridor to hand him the bill they
had drafted, were big shots
from the Ohio Chamber of Com
m cree, Ohio Association of
Manufacturers and the Retail
Merchants outfit.
With only glance at the bill,
Pollock went back to the floor
and entered it while manage
ment lobbyists watched.
What The Bill Contains
Tucked away in S.B.-149 are
clauses which would:
Eliminate extra allowances
for jobless fathers with young
children. 1T means fathers with
out jobs and a family would get
no allowance for their children.

qualifying for benefits, from IA
weeks to 20. Labor says this
section should be left alone).
Completely disqualify work
ers who voluntarily quit or who
are fired not laid off. 1t means
thousands of workers now en-
titled to unemployment COM
pensation would get the heave-

Weaken the so-called "suft-

stick guides BUG in referring
workers to jobs. The manage
ment bill means the BUG can
send a skilled craftsman to dig
bitches and deprive him of COM
pensation if he refuses. Labor
says leave this section alone).
Plus a half-dozen important,
legalistic changes in the BUG

tougher for workers to get COM

THE GOVERNORS POSITION
WE HOPE THAT Governor de Castro knew what await
ed him when he took the office of Governor. It is a position
which no one should envy, for it is full of the gravest prob
lens, and with the end product in the negative.
of the Virgin Islands occupies a most I'M
usual position. He is the chief executive, and responsible for
seeing that the laws are given effect. But that position is made
more peculiar in that it is an appointive one, and owes it's
responsibility directly to the President, through the Depart
ment OF the Interior. This peculiar arrangement makes for
easy discord between the executive and the legislative. And
this should not be difficult to see. The legislature is elected
by the people, and that body is responsible only to the people.
On the other hand, the Governor must account to the Presi-
dent, and this creates much of the difficulty though the aver
age citizen neither sees nor would readily agree. There can
be no doubt that if both the executive and the legislative
were responsible to the same source the result MIGHT be DIFF
ferent.
H OFFICE OF Governor has its further problem in
the fact that in being answerable to the President, it must
make every effort to go along on whatever funds can be ac-
CURED through revenues. In this particular the situation is
similar to that on the mainland. When the President present
ed his budget to the Congress many lawmakers yelled. But
before it is all over the budget will not be pared very much.
Lawmakers and politicians must serve the double role Of
wanting to run the government on little money, which means
reduced taxes, yet being sure that their constituents retain
their jobs, benefits and services. Nor does it require a season
ed political observer to know this.

MAGNETIC Storms

The magnetic field of the Earth,
which is responsible for attracting
the compass needle to the north,
undergoes slow changes as well as
others that are faster and occur at
regular periods. In addition, there
are occasionally large and irrcgu-
lar fluctuations, called magnetic
storms, which are caused by cleo
trio currents flowing with the at
mosphere or beyond. These proba-
+ bly, result from electrically charged
particles which reach us from the
Sun, combined with movements of
masses of air which have tempo
rarily become capable of conduct
ing electricity. Magnetic storms
have no connection with thunder
storms, but are associated with dis
plays of northern lights. Generally
they are accompanied by difficult
ties in radio transmission.

On The Serious Side

The Parents Consultation Serv-

and fathers seem to think it is
cute" to let their little ones join
in the merrlmcnt of the cocktail
hour. When some NOMINEES say,
Take a sip" they don't mean from
glass of milk. They're talking
about the cocktail shaker which
has become ershrined in the fam
lily hearth as sort of household
good. ITS difficult to believe that
any parent would let a child even
taste an alcoholic beverage, after
observing its undesirable effects,
even to adults. Yet, some parents
are doing it," the Service observes,
adding: Perhaps their judgment
is dulled momentarily by liquor.
Whatever the reason, there is no
excuse for their morally irrespon-
sible behavior. AT best, a cocktail
party presents a questionable en-
vironment for child. He should
not be there, to begin with"

had to pay $4,000 to regain his

a few elementary questions refusing
even to tell about things already

The gray-visaged Guzik was

he refused to answer on the grounds
that it might "incriminate me or

Catfish Calls

Can catfish meow? According
to the World Book Encyclopedias,
some species of fish do "talk"-or
at least emit sounds. The fish's
speech" is due to organs which
are comparable to the lungs and
