Castle. N. Y, to "ration" build
ing permits as "a most unwise
and discriminatory action which
cannot be permitted to stand
unchallenged."
Joseph B. HaverStick, of Day
ton, Ohio. NAHB head, said the
national association supports
the Westchester County Home
Builders Association in its oppo-
sition to the decision.
4 He said the rationing system
voted by the Town Council
would limit building permits to
100 annually and give first pri-
ority to persons owning a lot
on which they plan TO build for
their own occupancy. Next in
line would be so-called small
builders" and finally larger

Mr.. Haverstick said he feels
there could be no question that

property owners are involved

termined by the courts.

YOUR GOOD HEALTH

"A childs born in this country
in 1900 had a life expectancy
of less than so years. A child
born today will live, on the ave-
rage, for about 70 years.
This means that life expectancy
has increased by some 40 per
cent in a little more than half
a century. That is a development
of almost incredible magnitude.
What has made such unprece-
dented progress possible?
Obviously it wasn't just magi-
cal good luck. 1t was the result
of many factors. And one of
those factors - possibly the ov-
er-riding one - is found in med
ical progress.
Disease after disease has been
conquered. Infant mortality has
been reduced and reduced. From
tiers of medical knowledge have
been pushed back and back. Our
medical schools produce more
and more physicians - and bet

standards of hospital care have
been constantly raised. In every

HIGHWAY BILL
MOVES ALONG

The tremendous highway con-
struction program, as outlined in
a House bill, has moved another
step toward passage. Both promi-
nent Republicans and Democrats
in Congress are now predicting
that the measure will soon be-
come law.
1t is remotely possible that the
bill will be enacted by the time
you read this.
In brief. the bill provides for
over $50, 600, O00, 900 worth of road
construction in coming years,
with the Federal Government
providing most of the money, but
with the states providing a sig
nificant portion.
The new road system would
include a 10000 mile system of
interstate superhighways. OF the
total cost of this superhighway
system. the Federal Government
would pay ninety per cent.
To help finance the huge road
bill, new taxes are incorporated
in the measure. These taxes are
new and increased taxes for road
users, and cover a sixteen-year

RUSSIAN VISITORS FAIL

The sum total of the results OF
the visit by Nikita Khruschev
and Nikolai Bulkanin to England
is unimpressive. In brief, the
visit must be considered a fail
ure.
The British had hoped to make
some progress on a number of
issues. One was the situation in
the Middle East, and there is
some slight reason for concluding
that progress was made here.
The Soviet leaders expressed a
willingness to do something to-
ward maintaining peace in the
Middle East through the United
Nations.
This, in addition to the prob
ability that broader trade be-
tween the two countries might
have been achieved, constitutes
a major accomplishment of the
long conferences between British
air officials and the Soviet lead

GTS.
Certainly little progress was
made on the subject Of disarma-
ment. Western leaders had hoped
British leaders would be able to
bring the Russians around to
President Eisenhower's views on
disarmament. or at least around
to some of the views of the West,
which would pave the way for
mutual disarmament.
Another major issue, and one
concerning which progress is
highly desirable, is that of Ger
man Identification. No progress
was apparently made on this is
sue.
The British had also hoped to
obtain from Soviet leaders a
pledge that the jamming of West
ern broadcasts to the Soviet
Union would be ended. 1t is
problematical whether any prog
ress was made in this field.
AS far as foreign policy is
concerned, the talks made no
inroads on the present British
pOIlcy Oh close cooperation Win,
and within. NATO. And Mr..
Khrushchev's blunt warning, a.
bout an intercontinental hydro
gen bomb missile, certainly did
not impress or brighten the Brit
ish people.
The one major American con-
tribution to the recent talks was
made by Harold Stassen, who
discussed President Eisenhower's
disarmament program with Mr..
Khrushchev for some thirty min
utes in a chance meeting with
the Russian leader at a diplo-
luncheon. British and
French foreign office officials,
who listened in, were less en-
couraged than some Americans,
and most Britishers have come to
the conclusion that the Russians
are not yet ready to join in any
disarmament program.
The net results of the visit of
the Russians to England are slim,
and constitute only minor ac-
complishments.

All this. let us not forget, has
been accomplished under a sys-
tenn of free medicine. Here the
doctor is not an employee of the
state. Here the patient is not a

cording to a rule book, as he is
under socialized medicine. Here
the stress is on the value and
freedom and independence of the
individual.
We live longer lives and heal

President Dwight Eisenhower. 1t
is estimated that the new taxes
will cost the average motorist
about 1888 a year, but there are
many advantages which will more
than compensate for these in
creased costs.
For one thing, insurance costs
will 20 down because of a better
safety record, brought about by
the more adequate and safer
roads. Moreover, it is estimated
by government officials that the
maintenance costs on the new
roads will be less than present
maintenance costs on similar hi
ways, and that much time will be
saved and less damage done to
roadsides.
But, even if the highways do
cost something, we would be in
favor of them anyhow. And -

The observance of Mothers

Mothers service in n of the
Philadelphia churches and sug-
gested that white carnations be
worn by those attending.
In 1914, Congress designated
the second Sunday in May IS the
day on which this observance be
held. Since then, the observance
has rapidly spread to every part
of the United States and the fact
that it became the custom in all
of the states only four years after
1t had been suggested teStifies to
the widespread acceptance of the
idea in this country.
In later years, the custom of
wearing a white carnation on
Mothers Day was changed and

alive wore red flowers, instead of

| Association, describes the present
situation in these words: I'm 9
costly but futile attempt to sup
port farm prices near the levels
guaranteed to farmers during
World War II, the u. S. Govern
ment has succeeded only in
amassing an 18-billion-dollar
hoard OF food and fiber which
can't be eaten, used, sold or Civ
en- away. And as SURPRISES have
skyrocketed, farm prices have to-
bogganed. It's a grim example of
what Government can do TO you
while trying to do something
FOR you"
The farmers aren't to blame,
in Mr.. Strohm's view they
were led into the mess by gov
eminent policies and they should
have help getting out. A basic
trouble is that so many false
ideas about the farm program
are now widely accepted as Cos
pei. Mr.. Strohm deals in a very
direct and unequivocal fashion
with some of these ideas - and
here, in substance, is what he has
to say:
One is that price supports res
cued farmers from the depression.
That's false - farm prices did
MT start moving up until 1910,
when the impact of war and in
flation set in.
Another is that a simple farm
law can solve the problem. False
again - for different kinds of
farmers. in different places, all
have different problems. Says
Strohm: Trying to write a
farm law to solve the farm
problem is as silly as treating all
the sick with health serum"
Still another is that high fixed
farm prices mean high income.
Also false = for the reason that
volume of sales is a determining
income factor as well as prices.
Mr.. Strohm observes: "You don't
put more money in a farmers
by boosting his price per
oushel if you also cut his acreage.
And any price-Support program
be effect must include acre
lge controls"
Also, it is reasoned that gov
.rnment can restrict production
~ restricting acreage. The fac
ual record over the years re-
utes that. The reason: Farmers
re not dummies. They take their
poorest land out of production,
ertilize heavily on the remain
er, aim to grow more on less"
Mr.. Strohm discusses many Of
he things that are wrong with
arm legislation - including the
act that it is geared to the past.
or example, our eating habits
S a nation have changed. We
far less starchy foods and far
lore meat and dairy products,
mong other things, than we
sed to. Our per capita wheat
assumption has dropped dras-
cally - but the support laws
ncourage maximum wheat pro-
uction.
Finally. MI. Strohm has praise
)r President Eisenhower's pro-
ram, which includes vigorous
forts to increase overseas sale
I SURPRISES; encouragement to
irmers to produce for consump-
on instead of storage; the soil
ank: more research designed to
evelop both new crops and new
ses for old crops, and fewer
o~ntrols, with government CO.
perating, not debating. ''This,"
lr. Strohm says, "is a sound
rogram for the farmer, and a
air one for the taxpayer. But
will take craftsmanship of
