CATHOLIC UNION GROUP
CONDEMNS FRANCO In
PLEA FOR REAL UNIONS

MADRID = (LPA) = Demanding

Spain, the international Federation
of, Christian Trade Unions asserts
the present distressing standards of
Spanish workers are direct result
of the state system.
"Workers should have the right
to join an organization regardless
of trade, sex, race, color, religion,
or nationality" the Catholic group
stated in a sharp memorandum adj
dressed to General Franco. "Organi-
cations should enjoy full independ-
ence with regard to the determina-
ton of their constitutions, principles
and programs for action, the creation
of national and international fedora
tions, etc. The state should not hamp-
er the trade unions development or
activities"
Spanish workers, IFCTU points
out, have recourse only to single
trade union organization which has
been subordinated to political party
and incorporated into the system of
and thus have become
defenseless victims of unjust econom-
ic resources.
Restoration of legitimate trade un-
ions, one of the most basic freedoms,
would benefit Spain, the message
stresses, not only internally but also
in the rest of the world, through its
favorable effect on world opinion, es-
pecially in trade union circles.

NEWSPAPERS BOYCOTT
ON BUSINESS MARGINS

WASHINGTON, D. C. -(CNS)-
Federal Trade Commissioner John
Carson told meeting of the Poto-
mac Cooperative Federation here
this week that consumers would
benefit by lower commodity prices
if the truth about business margins
were more widely publicized.
Carson said the greatest obstacle
ETC faces is the apparent boycott
by leading newspapers against us
ing the economic facts revealed
by the Commissions business re-
search.
He said ETC is doing all it can to
publicize it's findings and called on
public groups for assistance. The
agency, he said, is greatly under
staffed. In the past, Carson said, it
has received little support from con-
sumer groups, while getting "much
opposition from, powerful monopoly
groups"
Meanwhile, ETC Chairman James
M. Mead instructed ETC staff mem
bers in charge of enforcing new
law, to proceed prompt
ly with the job.

Critics of Foreign Policy,
Hindsight Gifted

Dear Editor:
AS l see it we are becoming a bit
concerned by the continuous flow of ne
gative dissertations, thru letters to the
editor on the causes of our current
evils. These worthy critics have plenty
of hindsight and neatly put their COM
bined finger on the symptoms of our
demoralized age. Each wiseacre deftly
points out the corruption and inane
leadership of our national figures.
We should not expect to make a
silk purse from a sow's ear" The
quality of our leadership reflects the
quality of the peoples thinking. We
need only point to such obvious social
disintegration as the rapid rise in
the divorce rate, the increase in crime,
the friction within homes, schools,
churches, and other organizations.
What does this have to do with ma
tional corruption? Merely that it is
the soil in which corruption grows.

This is an expenditure of over a
quarter million dollars for every land
owner in the Irrigation District, in
spite of the fact that most of them are
above average in prosperity. For this,
there is not the slightest justification.
This is what the Marias Project will
cost today and | believe the figures
are indisputable. Even assuming that
the whole 1877, 900 acres it is possible to
irrigate, should sign contracts for
water, it would still cost over $1,000
per acre. That is the minimum. If only
the owners of the $4,000 acres who pc
titioned for the creation of the Marias
Irrigation District should sign con-
tracts for water, the cost would be
$4,000 per acre. Now this is the actual
cost, regardless of how. much or how
little the actual charge may be to the
farmer.
Let us next consider the method of
arbitrarily allocating costs to the diff
ferent alleged benefits. Here is where
we encounter the ingenious, horse
feather smoke screen, so widely used
by the Bureau and other Government
agencies to cover up unjustified excess
COSTS not only on the Marias Project
but on practically all other projects
included in the Missouri River Develop
ment program. Mr.. Vernon's article
might give the impression that the
cost of the Tiber Dam would be only
about S11,500,0O0.
This figure is derived from bids re-
ceived in August 1850 for that part of
the dam covered by the specified tions, |
and probably does not cover more than
half the total cost of the dam. To it
must be added the rise in prices of at
least 20go since bids were opened the
purchase of some 10000 acres to be |
by the dam, the nearly half |
million dollars cost of the camp and |
Bureau headquarters at Chester, the |
engineering cost to date and during |
and numerous other items
According to figures released by the
Bureau on June 18th, 1850, and published

mated cost of the dam at that time !

Around here we have been wonder
ing if there had to be long trip and
an exciting boat ride, why the kid

about marriage to her, but still
tells her he loves her more than

him, but is there any harm in

If there is some reason why he

she is a dumbbell if she
doesn't do it and find out whether

fined as being consumed with in

Washingtonians sit on the banks
OF the polluted Potomac and think

and reclamation of American riv.

E. Warne, Assistant Secretary oi

Speaking at a luncheon meeting
OF the Woman's National Demo.
cratic Club, Mr.. Warne callec
the Potomac one Of the fines
streams in the world, but said, "i

and recreational purposes because
it is a sewer and it is a sewer
because we cannot afford a few
cents a year per person to make

More progress, however. has
been made in the formulation oi
o needed national water policy
during the past year than in any
other period Of our history, Mr.
Warne declared. in reference to
the Presidents Water Resources
Policy Commission established a
year ago.
Pointing out that water is
something most people take for
granted, Mr.. Warne reminded the
club members that the rivers OF
the country are of tremendous i'm
portance to the national economy
and defense. Water is the one
indispensable resource of the
West" he said, citing Yakima,
WASH; Boise, Idaho, and Phoenix,
Ariz., as cities that have come to
life" as result of water control
programs.
Every large city in the United
States exists on a limited water
supply, Mr.. Warne said, even
though the supply is replenished
I'VE pay the piper when we use
1t indiscriminately." he warned.
MIR. Warne said the national
water policy, like Topsy, "just
growed," but unlike Topsy, doesn't
make much sense" The problem o1
water resources involves private
citizens, corporations, local Gov.
ernments and State and Federal
agencies, he continued, and ir
many cases the interests are con-
f1icting. ut soon becomes clear
that there is not enough water
to go around-that water is 8
scarce and precious commodity
he declared.
A central theme of the recon-
mendations Of the Water Policy
Commission is that river basins
be considered as the basic units

In answer to criticisms Of the

This and That

One Of the penalties of growing older
and there are many of them-is the
inability of the thermo- dynamic powers
of the body to keep one comfortable.
1t is this of course, that is responsible
for SO many oldsters lighting out for
Florida and California.
They find that summer at home is too
hot, and winter too cold.
Autumn is not what it used to be, and
as for spring, even that wonderful
season strikes them as bit chilly!
Even Florida and sunny California
probably would be cold if there were not
some sort of heating devices.
Those who have arrived at the age
where they contemplate retiring, a
rather sad word. feel that no location
would do unless the temperature re-
manned permanently at "a degrees.
The fabulous 10 degrees is a mite too
cool.
Perhaps if one were always dressed
up" and always busy, one might tolerate
the sufferings of 68 degrees.
That these temperatures are difficult
for many to endure is not always real
lied. especially by hardy persons whose
skin temperature always remains high.
These are those whose thermo-d dynamic
powers are at peak. Not all persons are
so. at any age. Hence the large numbers
of colds and coughs every winter.
