The Secretary was asked by
Senator Long, Democrat OF
Louisiana, if he thought the in
crease in steel prices will be in
flationary. Senator Long referred
to the boosted steel prices, aver
aging Sc a ton, as "a large in
crease"
Mr.. Humphrey said there will
be "a lag in it but it will con-
tribute to a further increase in
the cost of living" and added:
Price increases anywhere do
increase the cost Of living"
Ninth Day on Stand
This was Mr.. Humphreys
ninth day of testimony before
the committee in what will likely
be his farewell appearance as

Treasury position soon and il
has been reported that he will

The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee today unanimously approved
the bill urged by the Justice De-
partment to clarity and limit
disclosure of FBI files and sim
liar Government information to
defendants in criminal trials.
Senator O'Mahoney. Democrat
of Wyoming, chairman Of a sub
committee that reported out the
measure last Friday. said he
would seek action by the Senate
this week. He predicted that
the bill will be passed by the
Senate before the start of a
probable filibuster next week on
the civil rights bill.
The measure sent to the Sem
ate today is a direct result Of a
Supreme Court decision June 3
in the case of Clinton Jencks,
labor union official. The high
court reversed his conviction on
a charge of filing a false nom
Communist affidavit. 1t held
that he should have been shown
pertinent statements made pre-
viously to the FBI by a trial
witness against him.
"Reaffirms Decision"
The proposed legislation" the
Senate committee said in its re-
port to the Senate this after
noon, lis not designed to nullify
or curb or limit the decision of
the Supreme Court insofar as
due process is concerned. The
committee believes that legisla-
ton would clearly be unconsti-
tutional il it sought to restrict
due process. On the contrary,
the proposed legislation reaf-
firms the decision of the Su-
preme Court in its holding that

BRUSH CONTROL"

Brush control is essential in making a reasonable profit
from your pasture lands. The climate of the Virgin Islands
does not favor a permanent grass vegetatlon;, consequently
the maintenance of brush-free pastures and fields IS a con-
tinuous problem with which we are permanently faced. The
problem NAV be overcome however by the employment OF
proven practical control measures to control the recurring
brush which is SO characteristic Of the landscape. The chen1-
cal control Of obnoxious brush and weeds by means of herbl-
cides has been proven by experimentation and practice to be
both practical and economical. The permanency of control
obtained with the use of herbicides is important and adVan-
tageous when compared to any mechanical control measures.
The permancy of the weed control problem associated with
the repeated treatments necessary in order to maintain weed
free pastures is too often neglected. The job of weed control
is far from complete once you have completely erad1cated
all the existing obnoxious plants. Complete weed eradication
is only the first major step in maintaining clean productive
pastures. This climate favors plant growth and reproduction
throughout the entire year every year. Many OF the pasture
pests are deep-rooted, hardy drought tolerant, perennial
plants which multiply both by copious seed production and
vegetative means. Such woody plants quite often prove to be
very hard to kill either by mechanical or chemical methods.
In addition. the added source of reinfestation is always pre-
sent that of seeds. Given time they too will terminate and
grow forming an entirely new crop OF weeds which IN turn
require eradication in order to maintain pastures Tree Oh
weeds and thereby potentially capable OF producing the
maximum returns. For the livestock farmer regularly repeat
ed weed control measures, along with other good manage
ment practices, are essential for success. There is unfortunate
". no place in livestock farming for halfway measures car
ried out in a haphazard manner. Supplying your livestock
with an adequate amount of good quality feed at the lowest
possible cost is but one phase, but an important one In I'VE
stock farming. The highest returns can only be obtained oy
first having good quality livestock which are grown and
marketed by using each of the proven management practices
to their fullest extent. The production and utilization OF good
feed in adequate amounts through the use of pasture grasses
is but one of the most important aspects of livestock farming
which contribute to success. 1t should not be overlooked nor,
more important, ignored.

Steel Output
Expected 10
Hold SO96 Rate

CLEVELAND, Nov. 4 (R-
Steel magazine says many OBJ
servers feel demand for steel
will keep production at the cur
rent rate well into 1858.
1t has been around 80 per
cent of rated capacity, although
in the past week it edged off
half a point to 79 per cent.
The trade journal says that if
the operating rate continues
around 80, steel production for
the year would total between
HAS million and lis million
net tons.
That compares with the re-
cord of 1T million in 1855 and
lis million last year.
This line of thinking is re-
Elected in the scrap market,
says Steel, as prices of steel
making scrap are dropping at a
time when normally they would
be rising.
"Some steel producers last
week noted decline in their
incoming orders and a few
cancellations" it reported.
"Others are reporting a slight
improvement in new business"
1t also commented that ito
be able to provide quick deliv-
cry, mills have been building
up their stocks of semifinished
steel in the last four to six
weeks. With that activity fin
ished, the ingot rate will more
nearly reflect receipts of new
orders"

YOUR

Letdown Is Here

It is now November. the
month in which the fall up
swing should be in full gear.
Instead. so far, the rebound
from the summer lull this year
has been a dud.
1t is now the season during
which many types of businesses
traditionally chalk up their top
records for the year. Instead.
more and more corporations
are reporting that they're Just
holding their own or are re-
treating from levels achieved
this time a year ago.
1t is now the period when
economists in Washington, A.
nanciers in Wall Street and in
dustrialists in major centers
from coast to coast usually be-
gin to issue optimistic forecasts
on business during the year
ahead. Instead, the predictions
for 1858 that have come out to
date are tinged with an i'm
pressive variety Of cautious Ifs
and butts"
Informed Opinion Cited
So. it is now time to say it
openly:
The most widely advertised
letdown in history is no longer
just a possibility or probability
on the horizon;
The letdown is here, is al
ready well under way;
The vast majority of So
called informed opinion in our
country today believes the
best" we'll see in business in
the immediate future is a con-
tinuation of the current I'M
easy. uncertain, sideways move
ment;
The statements being issued
for public consumption by au-
thorities are considerably more
reassuring than the statements
they're making in private, Off
the-record talks;
While only a minority anti
cipates anything approaching
a severe recession, even fewer
anticipate a resumption Of
strong advance until well into
1858, if then;
Overall, joblessness is ex-
pected to rise and profits are
expected to fall in this period
of business downtrend;
The dominant belief is that
the "readjustment" won't be too
painful or too prolonged, but
there are mighty few bulls left
in the bushes in this November
of 1857.
The evidence of "downgrad-
ing" in sentiment and expecta-
tons of what's ahead is on all
sides now.
