These actions quickly reduced
interest rates on short-term
loans. and have begun to take
effect on mortgages.
Reports this week were cur
rent that in New England and
New York 5A per cent FILA
mortgage loans were viewed as
such q good investment by some
lenders that they were paying
as much as $l04 and sos per
500 of loan amount to buy
them, thus reducing their
defective return on such loans
to as low as ~ per cent.
Ofncials Of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration said yester-
day they had shifted from q
monthly to q weekly sampline
of money rates with q view to
determining If, and/or when,
q downward revision Of FILA
interest rates is advisable.
Recently q New York mort
gage dealer. Housing Securities.
Inc. reported in its periodic
newsletter:
"Rumors Of interest-rate re-
duction on FILA 5A's still pre-
valent gap between short
term and .long-term money
rates still growing"
This was q reference to the
fact that short-term interest
rates have been falling rapidly
while mortgage lenders have
been resisting the downward
trend.
The fact that conventional
housing loans are now being
made in some parts Of the
country at 5 per cent, and that
Federal Reserve Board policy
appears to favor still further
easing Of money rates, has led
some observers to question
whether the Federal Housing
administration win be in q logi-
Ical position to keep its rate as
high as 5A per cent.
Under the circumstances that
the current FILA rate is under
Question, and that legislation
requires the VA rate be kept ct
least one-half Of one per cent
lower than the FILA rate, there
is hardly any doubt that the
President will want to seek ali
the facts before he permits the
Secretary Of the Treasury and
the VA Administrator to ap-
prove an increase in the VA
rate from AZ per cent to AZ
per cent. observers said.
| Authorization for such q
change was made by Congress
in legislation now before the
President. But If the fast
changing money market makes
a 5 per cent FILA rate logically
irresistible. any prior action tt
increase the VA rate could put
the administration in the EN-
barrassing position Of quickly
having to reverse itself so that
the half point difference be-
tween the two rates could be
restored, as required by law.
Under the circumstances, II
is believed by some observers
that q higher VA rate is not SO
automatically in the cards as
would have seemed, at first, tc
be the case when the admin
istration was given a choice on
whether to raise the rate o,

One of your correspondents
asks how it is possible to close
schools built by taxpayers
money, in order to keep out
the colored taxpayers chill
dret, as at Little Rock? In
other words if you pay taxes,
you have the right to go to
public school.
Going a little further in
this reasoning, the more
taxes you pay the more rights
you are to expect as a tax
payer. This would seem fair.
In my home county of Fau-
Quier, Virginia. the white
peoples tax money pays SO
per cent of the cost of build
ing Negro schools and hir-
ing the teachers. Now why
are not the people who pay
SO cents of every dollar en-
titled to some say in the way
the schools are run? If white
people pay the cost of edu-
eating the Negroes, here OF
in Little Rock, why are they
not to have some say in how
their money is spent?
Can you imagine a business
where you put up SO per cent
Of the cost, and have no say
in the way it is run? Is the
fellow putting up the 2 per
cent entitled to say how
things are to be done?

Hemispheric Promise

After two days of talks here, the
foreign ministers OF the 2l-nation
Organization of American States have
agreed upon program of action that
promises to do much to promote the
economic progress of the entire hemi-
sphere. Although 1t has yet to be worked
out in detail, the program embraces a
number of projects designed to stimu-
late great new degree Of cooperation
and productive effort among all the
participating countries.
One Of these projects will be de-
voted to large-Scale educational oper-
alton aimed at training an adequate
supply of much-needed Latin American
technicians in such fields as industrial
engineering, agriculture and the admin
istration of public and private enter
prises Of various types. And another
undertaking will concentrate on the
task of planning for and establishing
regional hemisphere markets-compa-
rable to the free European Common Mar
keith which the cooperating nations
will resort to reciprocal tariff reduc-
tions and kindred measures calculated
to encourage expanding and mutually
profitable commerce.
Along with this, and perhaps most
important of all, the hemisphere's for
eign ministers Qncluding Secretary
Dulles) have unanimously agreed that
steps should be taken without further
delay to set up an "Inter-American De-
velopment Institution" In the past our
Government has opposed the creation Of
such an agency, but it has come around
to the view-aS expressed by most Of our
sister republics to the South-that the
projected new organization Is needed as
a source of assistance and investment
supplementing private capital from our
country and loans and other forms of aid
from agencies like the Export Import
Bank, the World Bank and our Inter-
national Cooperation Administration.
In the long run, of course, the sue
cess of this developmental organization,
together with its related projects, will
depend in large measure on how much
of their own capital the Latin American
countries contribute to it, and also on
how effectively they manage their do
nestle economies, which have been Suf-
fering steadily increasing strains But
If all the governments nvolved-includ-
ing our own-co-operate as earnestly
as they have pledged themselves to do,
the general situation can be stabilized
and markedly improved. This is not
an empty promise. On the contrary, as
Brazil's foreign minister has declared,
it can open the way, If the Americas
make the most of it, to bright new era
of hemisphere advancement.

WeH-Timed Appeal

The Presidents Somber little letter
on the closing of the schools is another
earnest expression from a good man
sorely troubled by what is taking place,
yet unchanged in the conviction he ex-
pressed year ago as to the nature OF
the problem. A year ago he said, Il per-
sonally believe this problem is never
going to be solved without patience and
tolerance consideration. We -. SIM
ply cannot solve 1t completely just by
fiat and law and force. This is a deeper
human problem than that"
His letter, addressed to CharlotteS-
vile resident, was in effect directed
to all parents of children whose schools
have been shut down and to the respon-
sible men and women of those commu-
mites who are now faced with the obvi-
ously disastrous consequences of such
closures. To those consequenceS-the
loss to children Of educational opportu-
nifty and attendant descriptions Of nor
NAL life-the President added another
loss, the spiritual concept of the equality
of men in the eyes Of God, a concept
which was zone of the generally accepted
basic ideals of our country"
The President referred to conditions
that are becoming self-evident. He was
wise to add this expression of his own
concern to those that are heard on all
sides in the affected communities. His
was an appeal to reason and conscience.

Southwest Businessmen

Southwest redevelopment off1cials
are to be commended for the speed with
which they are attempting to provide
new business sites for wholesale produce
dealers who soon will be displaced by
highway and waterfront redevelopment
programs.
The plight Of these businessmen was
emphasized at recent congressional
hearings. At that time, members Of Con-
gress made it eminently clear that they
expect the Redevelopment Land Agency
to establish policy of priority reloca-
ton aid to such diSplacees, wherever
possible. This is precisely what is being
done in the current negotiations,
between the RIA and about Is OF the
produce dealers, for the purchase OF
three tracts of land elsewhere In the
Southwest. These tracts already have
been earmarked for second commercial
use, SO their availability to the produce
dealers would be in complete accord
with official redevelopment plans. And
the businesses themselves would con-
tribute to the diversified character OF
the new Southwest.
The success of such negotiations also
has a more far-reaching Importance.
For in many parts of the country, rede-
yelopment officials have been accused
of heartlesSly running roughshod over
the interests of small business In many
instances, disruptions-of business as
well as residential areas-are unavoid-
able by-products of redevelopment. Our
community, however, must be constantly

Keeping Tab on Helene

Hurricane Helene Is revealing her
self aplenty on the South Carolina
coast But her progress and direction
before she hit, were being watched by
an improved Misunderstanding sys-
tenn developed by the Weather Bureau
out of sad experience with some hide
and-seek tropical blows in recent years.
And the current storm is being used to
test the effectiveness Of an entirely new
electronic signaling device designed to
ride the "eye" of the hurricane wherever
1t goes.
The augmented tracking program
includes more observation stations along
the coast, more hurricane-hunting air
craft, better communications the
new instrument for keeping meteor
ologistS informed of the course Of the
storms center. This device consists Of
balloon-born gadget which constantly
sends out radio signals to observers on
shore. The device is dropped into the
center of the whirling mass by an air.
plane. The balloon automatically in
f1ates after the drop and its course is
controlled by the movement Of the 'eye"
of the storm.
If this method of charting the exact
course of the hurricane proves success
full, a far step will have been made
toward ending the uncertainties which
at times have marked efforts of the
Weather Bureau to issue reliable hurri-
cane forecasts. Even without this cleo
tronic aid, however, the public can look
forward to more complete and accurate
storm warnings, thanks to the amplified
tracking Setup.

Safety for All?

Despite the grave tensions Of the
FormoSa crisis, some encouragement can
be derived from the Kremlin's recent
agreement to join with the United States
in East-West technical talks on eStab-
fishing an elaborate system of interna-
tional safeguards against the danger Of
surprise aerial assaults. In itself, of
course, this development guarantees
nothing, but it is nonethelesS welcome
as a sign that the Soviet Union conceiv-
ably may be willing to cooperate with
our country in genuinely earnest eff
fort to deal effectively with one of the
greatest menaceS of the age Of nuclear
weapons, SuperSonic planes and inter-
continental missiles.
Such cooperation was first pro-
posed by President Eisenhower at the
1856 Geneva summit conference. In
somewhat oversimplified terms. what he
advocated at that time was an unprece-
dented, and even revolutionary, open
skies" plan made up Of the following
elements: (D The United States and
the USSR would carry out complete
exchange of military blueprintS cover
ing such matters as the deployment OF
their armed forces and the location OF
their chief airfieldS and submarine
bases; (2) the two countries would put
into operation program of continuous
reciprocal aerial inspection OF each
others territories, including their facil1-
ties in allied nations; and 90 they
would set up mobile ground observation
teamS-Americans in Russia, and Rus
slams in America-to keep a watchful
eye on key railroad centers, seaports and
similar strategic points.
Generally speaking, while agreeing
to some Of it in principle, the Soviet
leaders-untiI now-have taken a dim
view of all this as something that would
allegedly do little more than enable the
United States to spy" on the USSR.
But the Kremlin'S latest note on the
subject takes substantially different
view. 1t not only acknowledges that the
idea is meritorious, but it also accepts
our American proposal for technical
talks-which probably will begin in
Geneva around November LOANED at

an operable policing plan that could be
acted upon later at summit conference
or some comparable political
gathering.
True, the projected talks, like the
ones recently concluded on the problem
of supervising ban on nuclear testing,
cannot Of themselves make the world
safe against humiliation through sneak
atomic-hydrogen attacks. But the
Kremlins new willingness to discuss the
matter suggests that Russia'S leaders
have at least opened their minds to our
American view that a policing system
can be made effective enough to give
both sides of the Iron Curtain adequate
insurance against sudden, unexpected
death raining down from the skies. Ger
tainly, if our two countries can put such
a plan into force, mankind as whole
will be able to breathe much more easily
than it can breathe now in supremely
dangerous era.

Possible failure of the

may go hungry if their ad-

If the squirrels in your
yard just eat the germinal
portion, it means that they
still are finding food in ma

If, however, they eat the
whole corn grain, it indicates.
according to this expert, that
they are in dire need.
So you can act accordingly.
There are, of course, other
foods acceptable to gray
squirrels, especially sunflower
seeds.
They also will eat cracked
corn, and the usual mixture
sold commonly as chicken

to using this in the yard is
that it may attract pigeons.

eastward, it is said, but real
experts say it has not
reached here yet, just on its
way.
Solution of the problem
may come in planting new
oaks more resistant to these
factors.
The white oak is said to be
the most resistant of all, and
in many a tree lovers book
this one is the best of all
oaks, anyway.
A program for care of all
existing oaks in the area
must be combined with diver
sified tree planting and oak
replacement from time to
time.
Not enough acorns, Ell?
Hundreds of puny little
ones are lying around the
streets and sidewalks of the
suburban areas, to be kicked
over and scrunched as one
walks along.
This is squirrel food?
No, those babies like their
acorns full and meaty, able
to trip up a human being and
break a hip, maybe, unless
the pedestrian is careful.
Our personal observation
is that there is something to
this acorn scare and scarcity.
The oaks are among mans
best friends, fine great trees,
giving shade to man and food
to the small animals. It
would be a great misfortune
If we all sat still and let
them die out.
Evidently the time has
come to think about these
things.
The squirrels in our own
suburban community have
decreased in numbers over
the past five years, to the dis
may of some. and the JOY Of
others.
Squirrels were here long
before the rest of us were.
They are interesting, in the
main perfectly harmless lit
tie animals, and exhibit a
Joy Of living we could all use.
to advantage.
Let the friends of oaks and
squirrels rally to their de-
tense. We need them both.
