WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

South Dakota to camp sponsored
by the United Christian Youth Move
ment where youth from five states
gathered for an Observation-Disclosures
leaders, conference.
To be sure these young people were
the "cream of the CROP" but it was
heartening and inspiring to watch
them go about the work of the con-
ference, the theme of which was
"The Christians Place In The Com
munity."
Nine young people from Montana
were there and they were a great
credit to their state. Perhaps they
were no more outstanding than those
from other states, but from my preju-
diced view it seems they did a splend-
id job, from cooperating in the work
of the camp to participation in dis
cussion groups.
Five denominations were represent
ed from the five states and there
were six or sewn Indian youth. One
of the Indian boys had been valedic-
torian of his class and one of the
girls was on her way to that dlstlnc-
ton.
On the trip to Rapid City I had
car trouble and the kids with me
had to spend hours in small town
waiting for us to get fixed up ond
on our way again. They were wonder
full. They didn't complain or snipe
one minute. While / paced the cement
floor of garage they sat on a pile
of rocks and sang, they went to a
show and came back and wrote let
tiers, the girls put up their hair and
they sang some more. 1t was a dull,
uninteresting time, but they made the
best of it even when we didn't know
if we were going to be able to get
the car part necessary to put us on
the road again.
At the camp it was raining and
cold most of the time and we spent

KEUBERGER CRITICAL OF PARTY FOR ACTION
ON HIGHWAY WAGES

left no doubt of his disappointment
with the leadership of his own party.
Here is how he put it:
"You probably have read how I was
successful, by committee vote of
z to 6, in writing into the highway
bill clause providing for the pay
ment of prevailing wages on all inter
state roads built with federal aid.
"This was eliminated on the floor
of the senate because some southern
senators threatened to vote against
the entire bill if it contained my fair
wage amendment. The Democratic
party leadership therefore decided
that the fair-wage clause had to be.
abandoned.
Senators Douglas, Mcnamara and
| opposed this unwise decision until
the end. | still believe it was unwise.
The Democratic party can only go
forward as party of liberalism and
humanitarianisn. If the voters want
a reactionary party committed to po-
litical rule by big business they

NATIONAL FOOD ALLOTMENT PLAN WOULD
SOLVE PROBLEM OF MALNUTRITION
BY CONG. LEE METCALF

The strength of nation depends
on the health of it's people. Health
depends in large measure on enough
of the right kind of food.
This was dramatically illustrated
during World War II, when about
40 per cent of the men called for
induction into the armed forces were
rejected as unfit for service. A large
part of these reflections were due to
the results of malnutrition.
Selective Service officials tell
me the rejection rate is running
about the same today-and with
the same causes. Now / can see no
reason for m alnutrition in the midst
of plenty Today we have stocks of
surplus comm ODDITIES, many of them
more than $47a billion. Storage of
these commodities is costing us at
least $75O,O0O day.
At the same time our farm income
is decreasing. Part of our food fac
tory is shut down.
In an attempt to solve the problem
of malnutrition in the midst of plenty,
and in the belief that better diets for
and better markets for our
farmers are in the national interest,
I have again co-sponsored the national
food allotment plan.
1t is before the House Agriculture
Committee, which held a hearing on
my bill last week.
Operation of the plan, utilizing ex-
listing facilities in the Department of
Agriculture, would be simple.
First would come the scientific de-
termination of the basic minimum
diet which person needs to stay
strong and healthy.
Next we would figure the annual
cost of such diet. This would be the
food allotment"
The third step would be to sup
plement the buying power of those
Americans who are unable to af-
ford the food allotment and who
choose to participate in the pro-
gram. For up to 400 of their in
comeA09o being the average
which people making between
$4,000 and $4,000 a pear spend
on food-they would be able to
buy coupons entitling them to their
allotment.
For example, suppose the retail |
lost of the individual food allotment
S SIS month, or $50 for a family /
If four. If that family had an income
If 500 month, it could buy $50

our nights sleeping in practically
everything we brought with us and
yet no one did any complaining.
The activities were planned so that
every minute was used. The camp
bell rang at every morning and
morning worship began at 7:15. Ev-
eryone was there and after the silence
of the morning meditation the BUSH
ness at hand for the day began with
the utmost seriousness. When it was
time for recreation in the evening
I was ready to crawl under bench
and go to sleep but the young people,
naturally, could have square danced
for hours longer.
They had the spirit, ambition, seri-
Gus dedication to their Christian OBJ
legation as citizens. was heartened
for the prospects for tomorrow.
Vacation begins the 18th of June
for the Coop plant. We will be back
on July IL.
As Harry has said we are putting
in the mail our two bulldog" edi-
tions required by law in accordance
with the mailing permit under which
the VOICE goes out each week. They
are merely formality- land a nui-
sance.
If Senator Mike Mansfield gets his
law through the congress that week
ly newspapers can take their two
weeks vacation without mailing a
paper editors of same will be able
to enjoy their vacations more be-
cause they won't have to work to
make up something for two weeks in
advance.
Harry wants to fish during his va
cation and | want him to do some
work on the house, so we will prob
ably compromise and he will fish.
Anyhow, well be back in two
weeks. Send in your job printing,
you guys, and your subscriptions. An
election is coming up, and though
things have been dead the past couple
of months they are bound to pick up
come fall, and we'll be here to keep
you informed.

worth of food coupons for 400 of
the family income, or $40. If the
same family had monthly income of
would cost $50. If the family income
were $50 month, the family would
have to pay $50 for $50 worth of
coupons-and there would be no adj
vantage to that family of participant
ing in the program.
The participating family would
spend its food coupons at grocery
stores, paying retail prices for all
food. Grocers would deposit the
coupons in the bank along with
their other receipts.
The cost of this program would
depend upon a number of things
like the basic minimum diet and the
extent to which the program were
used. But if the basic minimum diet
were that defined in this bill, and if
everyone eligible to do so partici-
pated, | doubt if it would cost much
more than We are now paying to buy
food and keep it off the market.
But because there is a question
about the cost, / would agree with
the Department of Agriculture re-
port on this bill-that SHOULD Con-
gress contemplate action along the
lines of HR 4577 at some time in the
future, we believe an essential first
step would be the operation of ex-
perimental programs !. - I suggest
nationwide trial on a single COM
modify, such as dairy products.
This is not new bill. 1t was first
introduced in 1943 by Senators
Aiken and LaFollette. Senator
Aiken, senior Republican of the
Senate Agriculture Committee, has
introduced food allotment bill in
each session of Congress snice then.
He is joined in sponsorship of this
bill in the S4th Congress by Re-
publican Senator Young of North
Dakota and Democratic Senator
Humphrey of Minnesota.
Eleven years ago, Mr.. Ezra Taft
Benson as executive secretary of the
National Council of Farmer Cooper
atives testified on the Aiken-LaFoll-
cite Bill. He said: seThe Council has
recognized that where there is ex-
IRENE lack of purchasing power,
serious enough to warrant assistance
in maintaining a minimum standard
Of health, the food-stamp plan is the
most effective program in supplying
that need, particularly when eff s.
GENTLY administered at the local
evels."

Shortly afterward Col Robert E.
Lee and Lieut.. j. Z. B. Stuart, both
u. S. Army officers but destined in
a few years to become noted Con-
federate leaders, arrived with a
Marine detachment from Washing
ton. After futile doorway parley
between Brown and Stuart, Lee
signaled the Marines to batter
down the door. Acting quickly -
lives hung delicately in the ball
ance-they seized the raiders. All
the hostages survived.
The Civil War, partly kindled
by Browns foray, swept quickly
to Harpers Ferry. Eying the arsen-
al and the strategic Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, Jackson struck,
only to find them wrecked by the
retiring garrison.
During Lees 1862 invasion of
Maryland, Jackson struck again.
The defending Union troops caplt-
ulated in time to enable Jackson
to rejoin Lees imperiled army for
the battle of Antietam.
AS a battle-ground and camp site
Harpers Ferry became a shambles.
It's few citizens, bereft of their
earlier industries, turned for in
come to a modest resort trade at
tracted by the lovely mountain
scenery. For even then, as now, the
onlooker was struck by the truth of
Thomas Jefferson's judgment rend-
cred while he stood on the heights
at Harpers Ferry:
"On your right comes up the
Shenandoah, having ranged along
the foot of the mountain hundred
miles to seek a vent. On your left
approaches the Patowmac in quest
of a passage also. In the moment
of their junction they rush togeth-
er against the mountain, rend it
asunder and pass off to the sea /.
This scene is worth voyage across
the Atlantic"

harper's Ferry To
Get Refurbishing

Washington-A national monu-
ment is developing at Harpers Fer
ny where John Browns rifles once
ratified and Stonewall jackson S
cannon roared.
West Virginia has given 500
acres. including a portion of the
town, to the Rarpers Ferry Ma
tional Monument project. Mary
land, facing the town across the
Potomac River, may donate 300
more. The National Park Service
envisages a museum and restored
buildings, tied together by pleas
ant walks and trails extending to
the Civil War trenches on Bolivar
Heights directly behind the town,
says the National Geographic So
ciety.
Famed mainly for John Browns
abortive raid in 1859, Harpers
Ferry clings to a ridged tongue of
land above the turbulent meeting
of the Potomac and Shenandoah
Rivers, so miles northwest of
Washington. Neighboring hills
loom gaunt in winter and soften
under dense summer foliage.
Near the mid-18th century the
wild site was picked for a ferry
by Robert Harper. Settlers soon
experienced the capricious power
OF the rivers, for one roaring flood
spewed pumpkins from upstream
Indian fields along the banks at
Harpers Ferry. Recognizing water
power potentialities, Congress in
1896 ordered an arsenal built at
the ferry. From HalPs,Rifle Works
issued the first breech-loading riff
les for the army.
Skilled artisans flocked in, and
Harpers Ferry became one of the
important towns of Virginia, the
state that possessed it before the
Civil War but only glimpses it now
across the Shenandoah.
The sleepy, ante-bellum COM
munity was suddenly aroused on
October 1917 when John Browns
abolitionist raiders, hopeful of a
slave uprising, seized the town
armory. Virginia and Maryland
militia later cornered them in ar
engine house-but not before sew.
erai residents were killed, includ.
ing the mayor. Dislodgement of the
raiders was hindered by fear fol
the safety of several hostages

of ice changed the courses of rivc
ers, leveled the hills, filled in the
valleys, and moved rock, debris
and lake bottom material from one
place to another in helter-skelter
fashion.
These pranks of the glaciers re-
suited in headaches for the men
who built the Ohio Turnpike-the
engineers, the contractors and the
construction workers. There were
peat bogs, sink holes, and treacher-
Gus, blue-gray clay with which to
contend But the rivers and river
valleys, both ancient and modern,
created the toughest problems.
In all, the turnpike makes 35
stream crossings. This requires 20
bridges since twin structures carry
the turnpike roadways wherever
river, road or other highway is
crossed in order to preserve. the
minimum 56-foot separation of the
eastbound and westbound road
ways. The Cuyahoga river is cross
ed twice. The upstream crossing ir
Portage County is on bridges only
210 feet long; the downstream
crossing in Summit County is or
structures each 1852 feet long anc
ITS feet above the river at theil
highest point. The latter are the
longest and highest bridges on th'
turnpike and perhaps the longes
twin bridges in the world. Besides
the crossing over streams, TIN
turnpike crosses either over or un
