RADIO-TV BAN ON 'MAMMY
RKS 7 FLORIDA LEGISLATORS

Two Florida Democrats have protested in the House
against what they called radio-TV ban the singing
of words like "Massa. Nanny" and "Od Black joe"
This means that the Florida State song Way Down
Upon the Suwanee River longer be sung on the
networks said Representative Matthews Representative
Skies Joined in the complaint.
Mr. Matthews said he has asked the presidents
of three major radio and televsion networks what au
thorty they have to rewrite history.
The networks explained last week that they feel the
words offensive to large segment of the people nova
days They try to select other words that won't spoil
the theme of the lyrics such chiun for darkies"
It's part of an unwritten CODE they said.
This action, if it be true in my opinion is the same
diabolica type of treatment that Hitler gave history
in Germany" Mr. Matthews said

Official Secrets

A Post Office official says he
believes the average citizen
thinks public officials tell toe
much about public business
rather than too little.
Representative Moss. Demo-
crat Of California, head of a
House Government information
subcommittee, disagreed with
the witness before his group
yesterday-Abe McGregor Goff,
general counsel of the Post
Once Department.
| Mr.. Moss said he has a strong
conviction the American people
feel public officials tell toe
little when it would be embar-
rassing-too much when it's
favorable"
Mr.. COTS attitude, Mr.. Moss
said, was one of leave the ex-
ecutive alone" under which q
Government official could
"spoonfeed" the public.
From my observation the
ordinary citizen has the reac-
ton that public officials tel
too much about public business
rather than too little" Mr.
Golf said.
Il have found that public
officials are just as devoted tC
the welfare of the country as
those who seem so alarmed al
what is said to be trend to-
ward secrecy in Government
1t seems to me that the trend
if any, goes the other way"

to leave him $6.68 in his pocket
when he goes home.
New fares should guarantee
him closer to $22.77 in total
daily take, according to Mr.
Falk's study, after he had met
his expenses. he would have
$l0.37 to take home.
"Taxicab operators are en-
titled to this increase in rev.
enues on the basis of constantly
rising costs of operation" Mr..
Falk told the commission. He
was backed by A. t. Sonnen-
berg, transportation expert for
the P. U. c., who kuoted muSh-
rooming costs of new cars, gas
oline, oil, auto repairs and fees
between 1851 and 1857.
In that time, cabfares have
remained steady. But railroad
fares have increased 10 per cent
and transit fares. 81 per cent,
according to Mr.. Sonnenberg
Low Fares for Children
Mr.. Falk said that the low
fare for children should attract
family riders to taxicabs. Con-
Iceivably, family riders could
crowd out full-paying groru
passengers, he conceded. But
he took the view lnaL wou.u
not happen because families
would ride in the midday and
adult group passengers during
rush hours.
He also proposed that all of
the SollierS Home Grounds be
included in one 50-cent zone
One recent complaint came
from a home occupant required
to pay 80 cents plus tip under
current fares to go from the
dormitory in one zone to the
home hospital in another. The
one-zone trip from Fourth
street and Michigan avenue
NE. to the western boundary
of the same fare zone at Thir-
ty-fourth street NV. is toe
long for the proposed 50-cent
rate, according to Mr.. Falk. He
suggested this be a two-zone
ride.

Still Studying Arctic Plan
Secretary Dulles reported
that the United States is still
in consultation with Canada.
Denmark and Norway about
setting up an Arctic inspection
zone, which Soviet Party Chief
Nikita S. Khrushchev recently
referred to as "comical."
An initial zone" Mr.. Dulles
said, could be a nothern one
comprehending the area within
the Arctic Circle and also
Alaska and the Aleutians, and
corresponding parts of East
Siberia, Kamchatka. and the
Kuriles."
The Secretary also indicated
that the United States and
Canada might offer the Krem-
lin a swap of aerial inspection
in their countries for aerial OBJ
servation of the entire Soviet
1 Union.
At Geneva in 1855, Mr.. Eli
Senhower suggested reciprocal
aerial inspection over only the
United States and Canada.
I'VE are in close consulta-
ton with our Canadian
friends" Mr.. Dulles reported,
las to the possibility of en-
larging this North American
zone to include Canada"
European Zone a Problem
AS for the European in
Spection zone which the So
Wet Union demands, Mr.. Dull
les repeated that cit will take
much longer to work out a
European zone than a northern
zone which is free" Of political
complications.
Apparently aiming his words
at some elements in the Ameri-
can military which are wary of
any disarmament agreement
with Reds, Mr.. Dulles asserted
marginal risks must be ac-
cepted if thereby we may elm
mate vastly greater risks"
He painted grim picture of
the greater risks of doing
nothing to make a start on
disarming.
Move Up to Russia
do we want a future" the
Secretary asked, where men
feel that. in order to survive,
they must learn to live as bur-
rowerS within the earth'S crust
for protection against the blast,
the heat and the radiation of
nuclear weapons? Do we want
a world where man must be a
slave to the rapidly mounting
cost of bare survival? Do we
want individual freedom to be-
come an historic relic?"
Mr. Dulles indicated that the
next move is up to Russia. He
warned that time is not I'M
limited. :. II mankind wishes
to preserve the civilization it
has created over many CEN
turtles. and guarded at great
risk and cost, then it must find
"a way to free the world from
the continuing threat of de-
struction from the weapons it
has built.

Your newspaper today brought
you factual news from behind the
Iron Curtain and from the troubled
Mid-East before the people in
those censor-ridden areas know
about it.
1t also laid down in your living
room the facts of the days hap
penings in your community, in
your state capitol and in Washing
ton.
You may disagree violently with
your newspapers editorial policy
on some political candidate, but
you read avidly its news accounts
of your neighbor, be he living next
door or in Afghanistan. And you
believe those accounts simply be-
cause down through the history of
the free American press, those
newspapers which have been false
to the great principle of truth al
ways have perished.
Your newspaper duly recorded
your birth; it hovered backstage
as you were graduated from
school; it ushered you down to the
altar of matrimony; it listened in
as you perhaps pleaded your cause
in the divorce court; and it will
serve as the ex-officio pallbearer
at your funeral And in between, it
will write the history of your tri-
umphs and tragedies if they affect
your neighbor in any way.
In short, your newspaper is the
faithful member of your family,
Other members, including your in
laws, may come and go, but your
newspaper is a guest in your home
every single day of the year. 1t is

Leader Training
Aids 4-H Sewing
Project Progress

If all the All Club girls who
are learning to sew joined hands
to form a gigantic sewing circle,
it would measure about 300 miles
around, esti m teS Miss Eloise
johnson, home economist, National
Committee on Boys and Girls Club
Work. A former 4-Her and EX-
tension clothing specialist, Miss
johnson is cooperating with the
Extension Service in a leader
training program that directly
benefits more than 100000 girls
between 10 and 81 years of age
who are enrolled in home sewing
projects.
The program is called, Getting
the Most out of Your Sewing Ma
chine" and is designed to show
volunteer All clothing leaders how
to use the sewing machine to best
advantage. They, in turn, train the
members. Modern principles and
methods are demonstrated for all
makes of machines. The program
is under the direction of the State
Extension Service, and funds for
literature, training facilities and
tie ing personnel for leader
training are provided by the Sing
er Sewing Machine Company.
More than $4,000 local leaders
and Extension workers have been
trained since the program was
launched in the fall of 1855, Miss
johnson reports. Results are that
thousands of youthful All seam
stresses can now use the family
sewing machine safely and with
confidence. Consequently the girls
can have more and better gar
ments for less cost, she pointed
out.
The training period is confined
to two-day workshop set up in
location convenient to a group of
local leaders. Classroom, materials,
machines, training manuals and
other aids are supplied without
charge. Instructors are usually
county home demonstration agents,
Extension clothing specialists and

 The flooded upper Sabine River reached its greatest height in his tory and overf1owed at Gladwater in the east Texas oil fields.
 Flood threats appeared easing on the Colorado, Nueces, Guada- lupe, Trinity and Brazos Rivers as rains abated after two weeks of nearly steady doWnpours.. . Thirteen persons have drowned in the Texas floods and hundreds have been evacuated.

F-86 Goes Boom Over Town Today

That loud explosion you heard this morning was nothing more than the sonic boom created by one of the two F-86 jets which put on a short aerial display.
 The sonic boom was created high enough over town so that no damage resulted.
 The sonic boom is caused when a plane breaks through the sound barrier, that is, exceeds the speed of sound, which is about 700 miles an hour.
 In this case the F-86 jet went into a dive from a very high alti- tude and the boom" was created directly over town and high enough so that it did no damage except to cause some worry and speculation until the cause was determined. It also gave all the supersonic Jills and Jacks an op- portunity to display their knowl- edge of sonic and supersonic terminology.
