AS Mr.. Benson explained 1t,
the new committee will help di-
rect the security program in the
department"
He has always thought. Mr..
Benson said. that there is safe
ty in counsel"
Presumably Mr.. Classify will
put all security cases before the
committee for review before any
action is taken. Mr.. Benson
said the committee will review
security matters in connection
with job applicants as well as
persons already employed by the
department.
In addition to Mr.. Morse, Mr..
Benson said. the security review
committee will be composed Of
Ralph Roberts. administrative
Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture, General Counsel Robert
harrington, who headed the spe-
cial committee, MacHenry
Schaefer, personnel director. and
Mr.. Smith as ex-officio member.

Department to Agriculture.

By the Associated press

The Agriculture Department,
which reaped widespread criti-
cism for its handling of the con-
troversial Wolf Ladejinsky case,
is reforming its security proceed
ures.
Asked whether this resulted
from adverse reaction to the
departments disposition of the
Ladejinsky case, Mr.. Benson said
mot particularly" Rather, he
said. it is in line with the de-
partment's continuing efforts to
improve its housekeeping func-
tions.
But the setting up of the per-
manent review committee is a
direct result of the Ladejinsky
case. Its. creation was recon-
mended by special five-member
committee named by Mr.. Benson
to study and make recommended
tons for the handling Of secur-
ity cases.
He told news conference he
has approved this recommended
ton and has set up a permanent
committee headed by Undersec-
rotary True D. Morse.

CRITICISM OF THE NEW CARS

The drop height of three to five inches has sharp

AS for horse power, Traffic Commissioner T. T. Wiley
of New York City says most drivers neither trained
physically able to handle the amount placed their disposal
and continuation of the trend would be sheer madness
The extraordinary sharp competition which is produc

lures to facilitate safe driving Commissioner Wiley
says What manufacturer will be first to make such
lures these the main selling points for his product instead

A GOOD WORD FOR ELECTRIC co-oPs.

The management of electric coops in the United States
gets good word in the current report from Washington
which shows that of two and half billion dollars loaned
for creating these utility systems only $40 has been
lost delinquent loans There still further bright spot
in this report which is refreshing following long period
of Governmental waste and Encouragement in that of 78
and half million dollars loaned in N c. there loans

Hatteras Island and the plant at Ocracoke know what

but the establishment of the system made possible great
development which looks interesting to private capital
or the larger public utilities companies.
These systems have made splendid contribution to the
progress of the Belhaven and Hateras usherng

conveniences and aid to home life They have encouraged
building and improvement of homes and in countless ways

have strong argument in REA's
record of repayment of loans. OF
the total 2.5 Billion dollars loaned
to REA co-ops in the 20 years the
program has been in operation,
only $307 $40 has been lost in de-
linquent loans. In North Carolina
the repayment record has been
even more amazing. OF total of
1876 million dollars in North Caro-
lima .loans, there are none delin-
quent.
Another argument is that Of in

Gals fear that if the Hoover Com
mission report is carried into law,
it would mean that co-ops would
have to pay about twice as much
in interest as they now pay.
TREND. The Recommendations
of the Hoover Commission, con-
corning REA is but one of sug-
gestions that the government
should turn over many of its func-
tons to private enterprise. It is a
growing trend in line with the
recommendations Of President
Eisenhower and the Republican
Party.
1t is interesting to note that
REA itself was born as a result
of private power companies refus-
ing to furnish electricity to rural
areas which didn't appear profit
able. Now, after 20 years of de-
velopment, it appears that private
utilities feel that there is profit
to be made in REA customers.

ODE TO
THE
PIRATES
JUBILEE
By MARY EAsoN cox

In bright sunlight, we walked the
beach,
'Twit saxnd dunes and tapping
sea;
The gulls flew high, the gulls flew
low,
With cries of grave anxiety.
We gathered shells of orange and
red,
Of copper, pale gray and cream
The beautiful conchs and cat-eye
snails,
Huge, white clam and oystern
lean.
We Needed not the inrolling fog
Til brightness left sand and
shell;
Far, Far were we from the cot
tage snug,
'Twixt dunes and the seas
somber knell.
Wreck and driftwood doomed out
the mist
Like sea serpents of fables old;
The little fat dunes hooded and
weird;
And we were weary and cold.
The dank, whimpering swish of
sea oats,
Cringing meath their ghostly
shroud,
Seemed to whisper legends of
pirates
Who long ago this beach had
cowed.
Deeper and deeper grew the cruel
sand,
Crunching and grasping at our
feet.
Could pirate spirits be on this
strand,
Waiting outlanders to defeat.
No! They herald Pirates Jubi-
lee,
To be held on this lonely coast:
A strange and colorful pageant
Of which any proud pirate could
boast.
Shell-laden, at last, we found our
door,
Followed by swirling wells of
fog,
Closed out the piercing sea gulls'
cries,
And lighted the waiting log.
