a piece rate basis), must be re-

is also applicable to the farmer

is mortgaged for a debt equal to
almost twice the assessed value
of all the Nations tangible assets.
To reduce and eradicate this
staggering debt will not be an
easy undertaking. In the doing,
it will require years and genera
tons. Yet, we are asked to con-
tinue foreign aid, already proven
largely ineffective; to give eco
nomic assistance to the commu-
mist governments OF Poland and
Yugoslavia; to permit Britain to
default again on its Indebtedness
to us; to approve a Federal bud

to give away costly nuclear ma
terials; to support programs, such
as Federal aid to education, which
can only lead to more and more
indebtedness.

In the days of the dodo, the
bullfrog was known to have been
over twelve feet long; a large
jumbo frog today is hardly over
eight inches long. The Seminole
Indians of Florida's Everglades
are experts at catching frogs,
and many make living at it -
the swamps are alive with frogs.
When l was a kid I regarded
catching frogs as sport; l still
do today. A very excellent sport.
We'd go to the tin shop and
have the man make us a coal
oil torch - one with three wicks.

quotation marks are mine -

tor a reflector" - it got as black
and as sooty as our face did.
1t took quite a bit of doing to
get our hands and face clean, be.
lieve me, after burning that old
torch two or three hours. But
the frog torch was, to my way of
thinking, far and away the best
light ever made to catch a frog
with - it gave a sort of wierd,
Pickering light, and l used to
like to think that it fascinated"
the frog so that he would sit still
on the bank of the pond or creek
until you could get close enough
to grab him and drop him in the
bag. The real secret of getting
him to sit still was to keep the
light low, preferably to skim it
along on the top of the water.
You understand, Of course, that
you always waded in the water

enough - from firSt-generation
immigrants who want to help
friends and relatives. Revision of
our immigration laws is an emo.
tion-packed issue; but we ought
not allow our feelings to sway
our judgment for or against
revision. 1t is a mistake, too, to
view our immigration laws just
as a means of helping people in
foreign nations who are in a
tough spot.
Those who favor maintaining
present laws point out that the
McCarran.Walter Act is simply a
codification of existing policies,
1t did eliminate race as a bar TO
immigration and nationalism, and
provided for quota preferences
for skilled aliens.
These proponents argue that
proposed changes must be con-
sidered in the light of our cur
rent and future national prob
lens. The question they raise is:

An acute situation indeed, but
the foundation is even less secure,
the quicksand even more treach-
erous. Beyond this $275 billion
sum, the Federal Government has
another $3.50 billion in contingent
liabilities, FILA. mortgages and
such. Said differently, the Ma
