Price Profit Spiral Gets
Underway in Detroit Again

The United Press international
news service reports, "The wage in
creases in the auto industry itself
will account for only small percent
age of the price hikes on 1859 model
cars" 1t points out that the labor
cost on one medium-priced car has
gone up about SO although the price
was boosted anywhere from $44 to
$73.

state store system brought in the
highest per capita income to the
general fund.
AS of last June 80, the average
/ fifth of blended whiskey retailed al
20 to 33 cents less in Montana than
in the states of Idaho. Washington
Oregon, Wyoming and Utah. Mon
tana's average price was $4.25 as
compared with Washington's $4.58.
At the same time, Montana's gen.
eral fund realized $3.50 per capita
income from liquor net revenues as
compared with a low of $3.50 per
capita in Wyoming. Oregon was Sec
ond with $8.49 per capita, Washing
ton third with $5.55, Utah, 1888,
and Idaho, $3.50.
Montana's state-owned liquor
store system, in its 25 years of op-
Grafton has been an important
source of revenue to maintain state
government. AS of June 30 last,
the system had paid into the gener-
al fund grand total of sos, $685.
241.71. OF this, $50,791, 241.73
constituted net profits from the
sale of liquor and liquor permits.
The state excise tax amounted to
$22,416, 1924; beer licenses and
taxes, $14,73S, 1890 and liquor
licenses, $1O,O87, 632.32.
please note that over half of the
grand total of 500 million came from
profits made by the state-owned
stores. Therein, and the desire there
after, is probably the major reason
why the saloon interests keep coming
to the legislature asking adjustment
of the State stores. Two million addi-
tional dollars profit per year is most
tempting morsel-as well as an i'm
portant pillar in the financial solven-
cy of the State of Montana.-EDI-
TORI
TOO MANY SALOONS
Another part of MLCB's report
concerns itself with enforcement
problems and states that such prob
lens 'stem from a large number
of licenses in effect-more than four
times the national average. This has
resulted in an attitude by the board
that definite and present need
must be shown before new licenses
are issued. The board believes this
policy is necessary for the protection
of the best interests of the state"
Accompanying statistics show that
Montana has 2.57 saloons per 1000
per capita, as compared with national
average of ga per 1000; Wyoming
S next to Montana among northwest
states with 1.85 saloons per 1000
population, followed by Idaho with
81; Oregon, SO and Washington, .35.
WHERE PRICE OF A FIFTH GOES
An average fifth of liquor, which
sold for 1925 last June 80, finds
he distiller getting only $1.34 or
'1.5 per cent of the retail selling

committee Is substantially similar TO the
House bill IL would extend Federal reg
istration requirements 10 motorboats OF
10 feet and under having power plants
OF more than 7h horsepower. This
would include outboards as well as In
boards. Owners Of such boats would
have 10 number their craft In accord
ance with State system meeting Fed
eral standards-and where such State
systems are lacking, the Coast Guard
would do the registering owners and
operators Of such craft could incur civil
penalties for reckless or negligent han
ding Of their boats They would have
TO report accidents and offer aid 10
others involved in accidents.
The moderate legislation Is backed
by most OF the Nations boating organi-
cations, by the Coast Guard and by
safety authorities generally. The need
for some control Of small boating can
be appreciated from recent estimates Of
80 million persons engaged in pleasure
boating, with some million recreational
craft plying the inland and offshore
waters OF the United States.

The Rickover Tempest

This is August in Washington,
time of humidity and frazzled nerves.
So it is perhaps only natural that some
of our overheated and congenitally mill
tant fellow townSmen lin and out Of
CongreSs) have been moved to stir up
a teapot tempest and put Admiral Rick
over right in the middle of it.
Anyhow, according to these peo-
pie, the White House has atrociouSly
"Snubbed" the admiral by failing to
invite him to the recent ceremonies
marking the history making voyage of
the Nautilus under the Arctic ice cap.
Equally bad. nobody has yet asked Mrs.
Rickover to chriSten one Of our nuclear-
powered submarines, and there have
been dark rumorS-indignantl bruited
about-that the Navy plans to retire
the admiral.
AS for the "Snub," the Secretary of
the Navy has alphabetically assumed all
responsibility for the failure to have
Admiral Rickover at the White House.
His absence, it seems, should be re-
garded as an unfortunate oversight. In
any case, oversight or not, certain men,
bers of Congress are bringing pressure
to bear to insure that he will be pro-
NOTED in rank rather than retired. And
no fewer than Fl Senators have CO.
sponsored a bill that would honor him
with a special medal (gold. and worth
$2,500) for having "fathered" the
atomic submarine.
Moreover. August being the month
it is, none of us should be surprised If
somebody starts a movement to have
Congress enact Joint resolution calling
upon the administration to have Mrs.
Rickover do a christening job. That
would cancel out the alleged 'snub" to
her distinguished husband. Probably,
too, 1T would have placating effect on
all those who act as if they're boiling
mad over this whole business.
As for Admiral Rickover himself, he
has made clear in the past that more
than a few other individuals deserve to
be credited along with him for father
ing" the nuclear- powered submarine.
The present fuss, we imagine, must
strike him as being monumentally silly
and perhaps personally embarrassing.

Farm Compromise

Secretary of Agriculture Benson
seems to have won his big battle with
Congress despite his talent for arousing
the collective blood pressure on Capitol
Hill With adjournment presumably
only few days away, both House and
Senate have now passed farm legislation
although in differing versions-that
repeatedly is acceptable to Mr.. Benson
and the administration
The legislative road to this point has
been full of detourS. Early in the seS-
sion, both branches whipped through
legislation barring reduction of price
supports for 1858 crops below those for
1857 and prohibiting cuts in acreage
allotments for two years. Congress knew
that Mr.. Benson did not like it, and
President Eisenhower forthwith vetoed
it. The House Agriculture Committee
subsequently reported out another meas
ure comparably distateful to Mr.. Benson
described by him as an economic
monStroSity and a political hodge
podge" The House itself followed the
Benson lead on that bill and refused to
consider it, development which played
its part in enactment of Senate meas
ure decreasing Federal controls and
authorizing payment of lower price sup
ports-aS the administration recon-
mended When the House once more re-
fused to pass bill that Mr.. Benson
opposed, Speaker Rayburn brusquely
announced there just would be no legis-
lation this year. This week, tempers
quieted and the House passed by voice
vote bill on which both Mr. Rayburn
and Mr. Benson sound in agreement.
At the moment, there is still posi-
bility of House and Senate deadlock.
But the odds are good that there will
be farm bill cleared for presidential
signature-with Mr.. Benson's indorse
ment.

East Front Victory

The Senate's decisive vote TO clear
the way for the immediate extension Of
the Capitols east front was the only
possible rational conclusion to a long,
and often distorted. controversy.
AS ably designed by experienced
architects. the extension will correct a
number Of shameful deficiencies in the
Capitol, Just as others have been cor
rected through change and growth for
the last $50 years. And the result-once
the project is completed-will be to en-
nance the pride and affection which
all Americans feel for this historic
building.
Little of the hue and cry of the
last three years against the extension
has had its origin in Congress. Mostly.
1t has been nourished by emotionaliSm
and sentiment, in total disregard for the
problems the extension is intended to
solve. 1t is highly gratifying, however.
that the dispute has been settled so
firmly within the walls of the Senate.
Opponents have charged that the extern
sion was the exclusive concern Of one
man-House Speaker Rayburn-who in
some strange fashion is supposed to
have mesmerized his colleagues on both
sides of the Capitol into authorizing the
project, and then to have blocked any
reconsideration of it. They have charged
that Congress itself deploreS the extern
sion as vandalism" and that its pro-
ponents would not dare expose it to a
vote now that the issues all have been
aired.
These incorporate claims have been
laid to rest, and the credit is due largely
to Senator Knowland. AS the Senate'S
representative on commission in
charge of the extension, Senator Know
land has had the power for several
months to have initiated construction
with the stroke of a pen. Wisely, he
felt that the charges must be answered
by Senate vote-even at the risk of
losing the Improvement he so correctly
believes is a vital necessity.
Now nothing remains in the way of
the extension. Contracts should be let
and construction carried out with all
possible speed. We hope, as Speaker
Rayburn does, that it may be finished
in time to provide more fitting setting
than ever before for the Inauguration of
our next President in 1861.

Good LuckI

Although officials In charge are I'M
derstandably reticent, 1t no longer is a
secret that the Air Force will launch
rocket toward the moon around eight
o'clock Sunday morning. The Pentagon,
remembering the over-publicizing Of the
initial Inflated attempts of the Navy
to put a satellite into orbit, wisely is
soft-pedaling advance publicity on the
lunar probe" In fact. the emphasis
has been on the possibilities of failure
concededly great-rather than on the
chances of success
The date for the historic effort to
pierce the earth's thick atmospheric
curtain with an Instrumental missile
capable of sending back valuable in
formation about the moon could not
we'll have been kept secret, anyway.
Astronomers in Russia as well as in
America could have calculated that the
attempts would encounter most favor
able conditions on or about August II.
If poStponementS should become neceS-
sary because of mechanical or weather
conditions, each days delay would lessen
the chances of success. Five days delay
would necessitate postponement of the
attempt until next month.
Although outwardly pessimiStic
about the first shoot" there has been
a noticeable undercurrent of excitement
and hope of late among officials familiar
with the plans. There is cause for
degree Of pessimism, for the rocket to
be used never has been tested in fight
in its present form. The first and Sec
ond stage components are from the
successfully tested Thor and Vanguard
rockets, but the third stage has been
given only ground tests and the fourth
stage, designed to curve the "payload"
around the moon, was developed just
for this experiment. So the odds are
against arrival of the rockets head in
the lunar target area.
Whatever the odds, the attempt is
well worthwhile, not only for scientific
reasons but for its psychological effect
on world watching the contest between
East and West for missile supremacy.
From the standpoint of science, success
even in reaching the vicinity of the
moon would have epochal implications.
1t would be mans first thrust beyond
the earth'S atmosphere into the thresh-
old of outer space, a penetration which
would open a vast vista heretofore par
TALLY obScured by the radiation SLOWING
or stopping curtain around our globe.
1t is reported that the Russians have
made one or more unsuccessful moon
shoots" in an effort to be first to reach
the earth'S ancient satellite. The world,
including the Russians, will be awaiting
Suspensefully the outcome of the Amer
lean attempt. Hopefully, we wish the
Air Force good luck in its venture out of
this world.

Book on DR.. Kopf

Although space in this

the late DR.. Kopf. I should
ike to say, however. that out

affection for this man. who
I knew personally for over 20
years. a book honoring his

published early in the fall.

Wasn't Fathers Day

1t is altogether fitting and
proper TO accord every honor
possible to the handsome and
heroic Nautilus commander,
William r. Anderson. and GER
tainly he deserves all the
fanfare he so promptly re-
ceived. However. it is difficult
to comprehend the apparent
neglect shown Admiral Rick
over, the so-called Father
of the Nuclear Navy" whose
brilliant research and devel-
opment and pushing his
project to completion-made
possible Comdr. Anderson's
wonderful achievement.
From the press reports. the
commander Immediately no.
ticed and regretted the alb
sence of Admiral Rickover
and promptly hurried over to
his Office as soon as the cere-
monies were over. The f1imsy
explanation that there had
not been room enough to
crowd everyone in" was more
than inadequate-it was RI
diculous. However. "the little
man who wasn't there" was
more than conspicuous by his
absence-and instead of di-
minishing his fame. 1t prob
ably will bring him greater
recognition and appreciation
by the whole world.
Surely the White House
contains a room large enough
to include one small, wiry
admiral" although his brain
power couldn't be contained
in a building larger than the
Pentagon. Perhaps the rea-
son is, some of the little"
people in charge couldn't feel
comfortable in the presence
of such a truly big man as
Rear Admiral Hyman G.
Rickover. He deserves the
highest accolade our country
can bestow - and no doubt
the first to agree would be
Comdr. Anderson. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that when the
legislation is introduced to
grant it and offer it to him
with pride and humility, it
will not be too late for him
to accept tin person!

Truce in Cyprus

I would like to comment on
your editorial Truce in Cy-
prus."
This is not the first time
that the Greek Cypriot fight
ers offered a truce. thus Civ
ing the opportunity to the
colonial rulers of the island
to settle the problem. 1t is
very unfortunate that. so far.
the British government not
only has failed to come up
with sincere and honest pro-
poSals for the solution of the
problem. but on the contrary
they have complicated it by
subjecting any possible solu-
ton to the Turkish veto.
A fair and reasonable solu-
ton should be based on the
following four points:
/. An outright recognition
of the right OF self-determi-
nation to the Cyprus people.
2 A genuine democratic
self-government for a def
mite transitory period. with
all powers in the hands of
the locally elected govern
ment, except for foreign al
fairs and defense which
should remain in the hands
of the British government.
3. Ironclad international
guarantees of the rights Of
the Turkish minority.
4. Long-term lease Of mill
tary bases to the British on
the island.
The above formula provid-
ing for British bases on Cy-
prus should on the one hand
