ing concern in some quarters, and
will be sharply curta1led, | fore
cast, either voluntarily or by gov
ernment decree.
Outlook For FOOdStuffs
The overall food outlook re-
mains firm. Supplies of most ma
jor items will hold at relatively
high levels. Supplies of meats.
however, may be somewhat smaller
this summer than last, largely re-
flecting an expected drop in the
supply of pork. With pastures all
over the country in excellent con-
dition, milk production, from now
through the summer will hold at
a high rate. This should result in
larger commercial supplies of dairy
products but heavy CCC buying
should help maintain prices.
Looking ahead a bit, / forecast
that new food crops, even with
only average weather conditions
during the important growing
periods, will again be large. Do
mestic demand for most food pro-
ducts. both fresh and frozen. will
continue at a high level, rejecting
a continued high rate of national
employment and dispOsable con-
sume~ income. Foreign demand for
U. S. food products may, however.
be less aggressive than it was a
year ago.
Grains And Livestock
Despite government efforts to
reduce them, our grain and feed
supplies in the aggregate are still
large. Early indications point to
another large supply of feed grains
for 1957-1958: the total may
not differ materially from last
years record. Carryover stocks in

along and also brought two of
their little friends along, too. AS

spotted a city bus and begged me

on the bus headed for Gage Park.
The bus driver seemed patient

the fare was 55c and l handed him
a $4,000 bill fright after pay day

intricate top and there | stood ex-
amining it when he politely took
the money from my hand and put

After our ride we five had lunch
and then hurried to the base pool
for an afternoon dip. Lynne and
Dawn's two guests were given a
ride home by a friend of mine and
we met Hayes at the Fred Shir-

paying competitors.
Fading Fades
A tired and Out-wOrn tropical
proverb, whose native author re-
mains anonymous, and which dates
from the heyday of Britain among
the colonial powers. remains stub
bornly current in equatorial re-
gions. "Only mad dogs and English
men,, they are still saying, "go
out in the MONDAY sun"
Americans, who turned out to be
just as reckless as the English in
this regard, are probably the lead
ing sun-worshippers of the present
day and age. Some of us learn,
through itchy experience and the
trial of countless liquids, lotions
and salves to protect our epidermis
from scorching, while others re-
main careless. But practically all
of us worry over what the ultra
violet rays do to our things while
we revel in what happens to us.
While Poppa parboils himself in
boxer shorts in the backyard, he
will fret over what the sun may
be doing to the paint on the house.
And while Momma and the girls
are progressing from winters Off
white to magenta and ultimately
mahogany, they may be fretting
over the fact that as they gain
color, their bathing suits lose it.
We are assured, however, that
the chemical, dye, paint, textile and
plastic industries, which have been
studying the fading problem for
years, are now coming up with sun
fast products. A noteworthy ex-
ample that will cheer the hearts of
all who strive to keep the interior
of the car as bright and fresh and
clean as when it was delivered, is
a new clear plastic seat cover that
protects the upholstery fabric be-
meath it from fading, that won't
turn yellow, get brittle and crack
retains its original strength. This
remarkable achievement of the
Rayco people in Paterson, N. j., is
due to new and special ingredi
ent they call "Sungard'. It's action
is to screen out the ultraviolet
rays, improving the lnstrousness
and transparency of this new plas-
tic and making the car interior
more sparkling than ever.
Thus we would say that these
scientists who have been working
so long to put the sun in its place.
deserve to relax and take their own
places in the sun. But they'd better
go to the drug store and get the
personal equivalent of Sungard
first.

"Tax CO-OpS" Say Editors
Across the nation awhile ago,
794 weekly editors took pen in hand
to answer a series of % questions
on vital issues propOunded by The
American Press which published
the results in a recent issue of
the magazine together with a letter
commencing the survey to the at
tentiOn of MIR. Congressman" for
IAN overall picture of grass-roOts
sentiment
There is no doubt among most
congressman" said the letter, that
the country editor does reflect
grass-roots sentiment. without his
help it is often difficult to know
what the rural half of America is
thinking"
The returns showed the editors
pretty evenly divided on whether
the post office should pay it's way,
whether military service under the
draft should be shortened from two
years to 18 months. They strongly
favored increasing income tax ex-
emptions and reducing foreign aid,
opposed Federal aid to schools.
But the one question of the %
on which the editors were most
solidly in agreement asked whe-
ther cooperative corporations and
savings and loan associations
(should) be subject to Federal in
come taxation in the same manner
as other business corporations"
OF the 794 editors from every
section of the country, Northeast,
South, South Central, West, Sc per
cent replied Yes, IL percent an
swered "No" and only two per cent
ducked the question.
This resOunding verdict from the
opinion leaders in all parts of
rural America should be reassuring
to those Congressman who have
SHE'D away from this issue with
the mistaken idea that country peo-
pie are solidIy behind the co-ops.
They may now be assured that
unfairness and discrimination are
repugnant to Americans whether
they happen to live in the city or
the country. And these lawmakers
may now, without fear of disfavor
or reprisal. allow their consciences
to guide them in taking legislative
steps to end the iniquitOus and So
cialistic tax evasion that is per-
mitting the cOops and savings and
loan associations to grow fat and

Topeka, Kansas
June 10. 1857

Dear Friends:
Something wonderful happened
to me this week. Way back in 1851
when we came into the service
left my good electric stove at
home. We left many things of ours
in Milford thinking we were just
going to be Gin" two or three years.
You see Hayes was recalled into
service and / never for a minute
thought I was leaving Milford;
leaving Milford as permanent
home, anyway.
Well, in Florida we had pretty
nice electric stove. In Texas our
apartment had a gas stove. When
we were in California there wasn't
any stove and we rented a miser-
able crate for some fantastic sum
each month. Then when we moved
to Kansas, in our Likens-Foster
home we found another miserable
wreck labeled "gas stove" Our gas
out here is piped right into our
back yard and it is our cheapest
utility. We heat our three bedroom
home with gas in the winter and
winters are pretty severe here.
Our highest bill has been $1,000 and
that's gas to heat with, cook WITH
and for our hot water heater.
To get back to our stove-it rot
only cooked lop-sided cakes, but
always blacks biscuits, and you
could rely on it to ruin all pots and
pans. 1t had no insulation and the
pilot lights were long ago turned
off since they NEVER worked any
way.
My good ole husband has heard
me "drat" that stove long enough
I guess, because Monday in my
front door two appliance men
brought my cleaning new electric
stove. With this little gem l can
be gone every afternoon and let
the automatic oven timer turn on
and off the stove for me as my dim
ner cooks, while l am summing by
the club pool. Sound nice? Ger

Building Materials And Fuel

months of this year. However, the

1uipment, and other materials. |

Nevertheless, the total dollar vol

hard fuels. Production should con-
tinue in good balance with re-
duirements. These will hold at
satisfactory levels, allowing for the
usual seasonal variations Liquid
fuels also will easily meet current
and prospective needs. Gasoline
stocks, though heavy, probably will
not prove burdensome, now that

A FLAT DISAPPOINTMENT!

The nations taxpayers, at the beginning
of this year, were looking forward eagerly
to a sorely needed reduction in federal taxes
even just little reduction!
Their hopes were dimmed when the
Presidents 1858 budget called for a $3-bil-
lion increase in federal spending, rather than
any cut in it.
The big increases called for are not in the
military but in domestic programs, where
economy can and should be achieved.
Senator Harry Byrd says that "if we cut
the luxuries out of this new budget and cut
some of the old fat, we can begin to get our
financial affairs under control"
Certainly there is plenty of room for
cutting-but not too much time before Con-
gress gets adiournment-fever!

HOW TO HELP YOUR HEART

If you are one of some 100000 Ameri-
cans who are plagued with high blood pres
sure, the American Heart Association can
tell you how to lessen your chances of heart
attacks
The first thing is to see your doctor regu
larly and take his advice. The second thing
is not to worry, which, if the patient coulo
have done in the first place, he would prob
ably not have the high blood pressure.
Then the Heart Association suggests you
take several maps day, and rest before you
become tired. You are supposed to stay out
of competitive sports, and watch your weight
and keep it normal.
While we think this is good advice, If we
,ould do all of these things, we believe~we
would wind up in the poor house. Moreover,
if we took all this rest, did not get excited
and took regular exercise, we could not keep
up with business demands. Perhaps this
would be better in the long run, and perhaps
most people can follow the advice of the
American Heart Association.
Unfortunately, however, there are many
of us who cannot take little doze several
times day, avoid all worry and emotional
strain, rest before we become tired, and stay
)ut of competitive sports. Some of us will
have to run the risk.

YOURS is THE FINAL WORD

We live in high powered age-and that
doesn't apply just to all the energy used in
our enterprises or the amazing number of
mechanical horses the engineers have man
aged to harness beneath the hoods of auto
mobiles 1t applies to a certain class of stock
statesmen, whose offerings consist of shares
which, according to the sales pitch, are dead
certain to double or triple or quadruple in
value in practically no time.
These statesmen are expert at clipping the
gullible and the greedy, as an article in The
Exchange a publication of the New York
Stock Exchange, points out. That article
also proposes a series of apt questions you
might ask when you are approached by some
one eager to make you rich in hurry. One
good question is, "If this stock is going to
be worth So in so days, why are you selling
it to me for so cents?" Another is, eff this
mine is so jam-packed with such high grade
uranium ore, why can't you make quick
fortune by offering it to single metal re-
fining corporation, instead of peddling the
stock for pennies all over the country?" Still
another is, "When did | get so lucky that
should be selected to share in this tremend-
Gus bOnanZa?"
The big point can be put in phrase: In
vestigate before you invest! The stock ex-
changes, government agencies, and others are
doing their best to protect you, but they can't
do it all. Before buying any stock, talk to a
reputable broker and get the fullest possible
information. AS The Exchange says, "Yours
must be the final word. !. i. i. Unless you're
willing to find out exactly what you're buy
ing, and from whom, that final word had bet
ter be NOw

DANGER TO FREEDOM

Recent re-examinatiOn of the history
and meaning of the Fifth Amendment has
emphasized anew that one of the basic func-
tions of the privilege is to protect innocent
men," Thus reads. the latest Supreme Court
decision involving resort to the Fifth Amend
ment, which allows its pleader to escape self
incrimination. In an earlier opinion the court
said that "the privilege serves to protect the
innocent who otherwise might be shared by
ambiguous circumstances"
This runs counter to a common view ex-
pressed in March news conference by Presi-
dent Eisenhower. After stating that "in
some instances it is absolutely basic safe
guard of American liberty, or it would not
have been written as the Fifth Amendment
to the Constitution" the President added, 81
must say probably share the common reac-
ton: If man has to go to the Fifth Amend
ment, there must be something he doesn't
want to tell"
The fundamental basis of the Fifth
Amendment is the old legal maxim that it
is better to let many criminals go free rather
than convict one innocent man. A good many
people seem not to believe this, and to think
that if legal proceedings catch guilty man
their injustice to the innocent is a minor
matter. That theory could be dangerous tc
freedom, far more dangerous than abuses
of the Fifth Amendment privilege by cynical
men.

THE DuPONT RULING


After years of litigation, the u. S. Su-
preme Court has ruled that E. |. dupont de
Nemours and Co. violated the antitrust laws
nearly four decades ago when it acquired
about a % per cent stock interest in the Cen
eral Motors Corporation. 1t is apparent that
this decision will have the most far-reaching
effects as it applies to other corporations in
a great variety of fields.
In the past, numerous mOnopOlieS-the
old Standard Oil trust, for example-have
been broken apart by the high court. Those
earlier cases involved breaking up a concen-
tration in one industry or a separation of
closely allied groups, as when motion picture
producing films were split away from theater
ownership. Now the court seems to have
stated a new principle which says, in effect,
that corporations must stay in their own area
of endeavor and not gain control of corpor-
ations in other fields.
AS the DUPONT president, Crawford HI.
Greenewalt, promptly noted, the govern
ment'S charges before the Supreme Court
were considerably less sweeping than those
made in the initial complaint some years ago.
Nevertheless, serious questions are brought
up by the ruling.
American industry has shown a remark
able trend toward diverSifcation, especially
since the end of World War II. The list of
products manufactured by some firms reads
like a catalogue of consumer goods. Just
how this trend toward diversification of man
ufacturing and sales will be affected by the
DUPONT ruling remains TO be seen. 1t is a
safe bet that there will be more years of
litigation before all the questions now raised
have been settled.
