Prices Denied

A Yale economist, DR.. Rich

doubts that administered
prices" have been primarily re-
sponsible for imitation.
Earlier witnesses have ex-
pressed the view that admins
tered prices were to some ex-
tent responsible for much of
the recent increase in prices.
Mr.. Ruggles told the Senate
Antitrust and Monopoly Sub
committee that a reason for
their differences was that the
other witnesses were talking of
specific industries while he re-
ferred to the economy as a
whole.
Alt though administered
prices, somehow defined, may
exist in specific firms or even
industries. it cannot be shown
that they have had a major
role in the recent price RISE"
he said.
Even if all the administered
price industries charged what
could be regarded as fair
prices, we would still have ris-

The subcommittee is studying

a term in the language Of econ

by DR.. Gardiner C. Means. This
is one accepted definition: IAN
administered price is a price

The steel industry is an ex-

Town Speed Limits

TOWN of FarmVille police will install IN
the near future electric timing devices
to indicate driving speeds within the Town.
Used with discretion the device may have
some good effect upon the drivers of cars
on the towns streets. Speed limits are
violated on certain streets more than
others First and Second avenues, High
street. Second Street are few of the
streets where we have observed excessive
speeds, no doubt there are others.
Before the timing device is installed, we
suggest that speed limits be we'll posted

streets Where lower limits are advisable.
plain we'll defined signs should be posted.
Another suggestion A study should be
made on the approaching roads and high
ways to be certain that the speed limits now
posted are reasonable and practical.
We make these suggestions because we
were hauled into police court in Petersburg
several years ago, and fined for exceeding
the speed limit in 25 mile zone. This zone
was in sparsely settled area, on Route

Checkmating Nasser

Another proposal would divert the term
inal Of two Iraq pipelines from Haifa, Is
rael, to Saida. Lebonon. The Kirkuk Qraq)-
Haifa line has not been used since the Is
raeli war in 1913. If an agreement can be
worked out with Jordan and Lebanon, it
is planned to relay the sixteen-inch line
and probably the tWelve-inch line from a
point in Jordan and roughly parallel the
TRANSPORTATION pipeline to Saida-Lebanon
The division of these lines would result in
an increase Of 100000 to 10000 barrels a
day IN the flow Of IraQi oil to the Mediter-
ranean
While the construction of huge pipelines
over such great distances will cost hun
dreds Of millions of dollars, such an outlay
would be justified if it assured an ample
supply Of Middle East oil to Europe, thus
torestalLing drastic Interruptions in the
flow of oil as result of the whims of rul-
ers Of nations in positions to block the ship

simple expedient of blockading a water

consciously posted, and practically no one
paid any attention to the low limit. We
were unfortunate enough to be one of the
few to be hauled in. Since that time we
have noticed how many places in the towns
and cities requiring speeds unrealistic to

Many drivers, careful drivers become

Naturally there are the habitual fast
drivers, who are a menace on the the
Towns streets. They should be checked,
apprehended and fined. Police and citizens
know most of them.
Under Virginia law, a second offense
within year, requires loss of license to
drive for go days, very salutary effect
upon habitual speeders
We do not intend to defend speeding in
towns, but we do want to recommend ju-
dicious use Of timing devices and realistic
ordinances to control safe use of the streets

lists

also no doubt that in,talment buying has
come into vogue and becomes accepted even
among many in the upper middle and high
er income classes. Americans seem to be
going on trips to Europe, BY air on the in
stallment plan, and buying homes, auto
mobiles. appliances and doing just about
everything else on the instalment plan
lnstallment buying can be overdone, es-
pecially for the nonessentials. In all cases,
carrying charges and interest must be add
ed, making the article or services cost more
than if money had been saved and cash
purchases made. While installment buying
plays an important part in American bus

desires outdistance his income

not as his Father S will Yet if there
had been other OCCASIONS his pray
Ct must have been ever the same:
Not as I viii. Above all other de-
sires. above even the desire to
to fulfill his own villa desire
al the stronger, the stronger the
character is was the overarch-
ing desire to do the Fathers Will
There were elements Of Jesus
suffering in Gethsemane which
set that night off from all other
nights, and that strong soul apart
from all other souls And yet
even in the mystery there is some
thing for us to learn. If the mas
terwish Of our life is that our
own will be done, we shall come %
illustration in the end But if
the overmastering wish is that
our Fathers will be done, then
whatever our first desires may be,
OUR highest prayer shall still be
answered
