But it was not until midnight

from police to say she was dead.
Whom she had met in the

Youth Fined in Court.
Assault charges were filed
against the youth last month
when Miss Ruzza accused him
of trying to run her down in his
car after she refused to ride with
him. He was fined SGT in Upper
Marlboro Court and ordered to
leave Miss Ruzza alone.
Mr.. Ruzza, who is the father
of four other children and a
painting crew foreman for an
interior decorating company. said
he feared so much for his daugh-
ter'S safety that he offered to
send her to New York with her
grandparents.
"She said she wanted to finish
school and then enlist in the
WAVES and try for officers
training" Mr.. Ruzzan said. "She
said the boy had not been both

case"
The parents had been so ap-

Asked for his own views on

Then he called for "a reap

INDIANAPOLIS -(CNS)- Some
zany logic of the Indiana public SER

The coop is Hancock Rural Tele-

just west of here. For eight months,

that the co-op-with eight months

BOTH STASSEN, CONGRESS
TO CUT FOREIGN AID

WASHINGTON, d. .C.-(CNS)-
Foreign aid, both military and eco
nomic, will be cut sharply next year.
Foreign Operations Administrator
Harold E. Stassen, who just ended an
on-the-spot survey of Europe's econ
omy, will ask for part of the cut.
Congress is likely to trim some more.
Stassen's budget request, which
goes to Congress shortly after New
Years, is expected to be So billion
less than this years 81 u billion APP
preparation. The cut isn't as sharp as
it sounds, however, for FOA has a
large backlog of unspent funds. Stas-
son expects actual foreign aid spend
ing will run about SIS billion year
for the next 10 months, even with
cutbacks.
Of the $21a billion, FOA's request
will call for 500 in military aid,
1870 in economic aid, and so for
technical help. At present, about go
of the overseas aid budget is going
for technical help, popularity known
as Point Nv.
Stassen expects to withdraw di-
rect economic aid from western Eu-
rope, where industrial production is
40 higher than any previous year
cts anticipated" Stassen said 'that
current levels of u. S. aid to non-Eu-
ropean areas of the free world will
be maintained.

Closely connected with the pro-

February which saw Montana Power

prices received by farmer just bal
ance prices paid by him-this would
mean 100 per cent. That is, from the
starting date, the changes in the one
set of whether up or down
must be the same as in the other set,
if parity is maintained.
PARITY is EQUALITY
Stated differently: when parity
exists between prices paid and
prices received, we then have
equality. How can equality be
"high?' To say or imply that it is
doesn't make sense.
Since 80 per cent of parity is 10
per cent below equality-or balance
in the two sets of prices, price
supports at this 80 per cent level
are low, not "high."
CATTLE PRICES TO ILLUSTRATE
An example very much in the pub
lie eye will show what the score is.
On September Is, 1853, the Depart
ment of Agriculture tells us that
parity price on beef cattle was $40
80 per 100 lbs, while the average at
which cattle were sold by farmers on
this date was $3.50. This average
was only about rs per cent of parity,
while grass cattle particularly were
"off'' from parity much more.
Ii cattle had averaged 90 per cent
of parity in September of this year,
the resultant price of 1881 per 100
lbs, would still have been somewhat
low in comparison with 5000. But
the opponents of 80 per cent parity
on cattle want the unwary to believe
that 1881 is "high."
A LOOK AT "RIGID" rs vfctsa
Similarly with the word rigid"
Since parity prices move up and
down, depending on what happens to
prices received and prices paid, 80
per cent of parity keeps right in
step. 1t is flexible and not rigid-be-
cause parity itself is flexible.
If and when enough people see
through the misleading expression
high, rigid price supports those
who now use the expression will give
it up. But they'll try something else
designed to throw dust in our eyes.

Is price support at 80 per cent of
parity "high?" And is it "rigid?" The
answer is eyes" to both question,
say those who oppose existing price
support legislation.
MAKING A "FACT"
The opponents, in fact, do not even
ask the question. Instead, they simply
assert-over and over again, without
offering proof-that price supports at
80 per cent of parity are "high and
rigid" It's an old, familiar method:
stating something so often that it
may finally be accepted as 'fact."

ject. First, how can 80 per cent of

PUBLIC DOMAIN, INDIAN
EMANCIPATION"

Another phase of the "galloping
grab" philosophy of the Republican
Administration covered extensively
in 1858 VOICE issues, had to do with
legislation proposing to turn the pub
lie domain over to major stockgrow-
ers, and with similar "grabbing'
moves to take over Indian lands un-
der the smokescreen of "emancipat-
ing the Indians"
Legislation seeking revision Of
grazing regulations governing nation
al forest lands, as proposed under the
D'Ewart-Hope-Aiken bill, if enacted,
would make such public lands the ex-
elusive private domain of the stock
growing interests. Wildlife, recrea-
ton, logging, watershed protection,
etc, would be completely out in the
cold under the proposals. On the 9TH
erhand, legislation proposing the
broadening of democratic control of
Taylor Grazing Lands to include
other interests than stockraising is
written into HR 6081, by Metcalf.
Wiidlife groups contend that national
forest management legislation, similar
to the Metcalf bill, should be en-
acted in preference to the restrict
i've special interest provisions of the
D'Ewart-Hope-Aiken proposals.
Legislation extolling the virtues of
'emancipating the Indian" has been |
rightly characterized as a cold-blood- |
ed move to ''liquidate the Indians /
assets" At stake, in Montana for ex-
ample, is a tremendous wealth of |
grazing and agricultural land, oil and |
mineral rights, power sites, timber
stands, etc First Montana tribe slated

The Inter-Tribal Policy Board, made
up of representatives of various
Montana tribes, has gone on record in
to the Flathead bill, con-
tending that (among other things)
/. Many Flahead Indians are not
ready for full citizenship and would
fall easy prey to INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons seeking their properties; 2 The
bill would give the Secretary of In
terror far too much discretion in the
sale or disposal of Indian tribal as
sets such as power sites, timber, etc.
