School Lunch By-Passed
In Lard Purchase

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)-
USDA's announcement of limited
lard purchases with Section 80 funds
has school lunch officials concerned.
They have been waiting several years
to get shortening but were left off
the list of recipients.
Priority is being given, instead, to
needy persons and sintitutions. This
sounds all right, but some quarters
regard it as a USDA subterfuge for
complying technically with the law
passed last session of Congress re-
quiring that food be made available
to needy persons in this country be-
fore being sent overseas. Offering
limited amounts would comply with
that requirement, then open up ship
ments abroad; but school lunches
would be by-passed, even though they
need and want shortening.
Meanwhile, farmers watching hog
prices drift down will wonder why
lard purchases have to be limited
at all.

WATCH ON THE POTOMAC
By ROBERT G. SPIvACK, Washington. D. C.

ACh, washington. ID. Z.
, lie. pressure. By putting action off
to the fall. the Mississippi Governor
was trying to make sure that Con-
gress took no action when public
sentiment was aroused about the
Parker case.
THE GREAT SILENCE
1t was no surprise that Sen. East
land or Senate Democratic Leader
Johnson should try to take the heat
off. But the Administration silence
while this was going on was battling,
if not actually disgraceful.
Everything Rogers said about the
failure of the Grand Jury even to
hear the FBI men who did the investi-
eating being "travesty of justice"
was absolutely right.
"You talk about states rights"
Rogers said. "That's fine. l believe in
states rights, too. But there are also
state responsibilities. 1t seems clear
to me that if state doesn't believe
in the administration of justice, to
the extent of not even calling wit
nesses, in a case like the Poplarville
case, then the Federal government
must consider something else"
Wasn't all this evident months ago?
Why SO late?
In way the tip-off on the Ad-
uncertainty about it's
position on the Parker case and SINH
lar episodes is that no one in author
ity yet has called for enactment of a
federal anti-lynching law. This would
seem to be the minimum need in any
new civil rights legislation. Yet even
Rogers shied away from recommend
ing it.
The failure to be specific is bound
TO make some people thing he is
playing politics.
If he is, then civil rights advocates
ought to keep guard.
Among politicians there are ties

opposition to lynching. After all the

t is-a minor advance, not major

Filthy Food, Short Weights
& Poor Labels Still With Us

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Courts seized nearly 125 tons of food
in July to protect the consumer. Food
& Drug Administration agents un-
covered the damaged foods, including
flour contaminated in storage by poi
sonous chemical, grains containing
an unauthorized mercurial compound,
candy suckers on pointed sticks that
might injure children, and filthy and
decomposed foods. FDA men seized
watered orange juice, low-fat butter,
and short weight spices and frozen
Strawberries. They also seized canned
shrimp in broken pieces that wasn't
so labeled.

POLITICS AND
MACK CHARLES PARKER

| MACK CHARLES PARKER
| Strange as it may sound, the worst
thing and the best thing that has hap
pened in the Mack Charles Parker
case is that it has become a political
football.
For the family of this young Missis-
sippi Negro it must be distressing to
watch Dixie demagogues and North
ern Republican politicians, with an
eye on 1860, both trying to make
political capital out of his lynching.
Yet for the families of other Negroes
in the South it is, in the long run,
fortunate that politicians outside
Mississippi are forced to do some
thing about wanton disregard of the
law by local mobs.
What prompts me to make what
specifically seems like contradictory
observations is the way Attorney
General Rogers announced that the
Justice Department was coming back
into the case. Unquestionably Rogers
has given it political overtones by his
belated announcement; yet it is bet
ter that he moves late rather than
never.
When Parker was lynched last
spring the Justice Department acted
with complete propriety in sending
the FBI to investigate. There seemed
to be possibility that Parker's body
had been carried across the state
line. Technically the Department was
also correct in saying that no federal
law had been violated, after the FBI
had completed its findings-because
there is still no federal anti-lynching
law after all these years of civil
rights debate.
What is distressing is that the
President and Attorney General fell |
silent during all all intervening
even after Gov. Coleman re-
fused to impanel a special grand |
Jury to look into the case. Such
grand jury, Coleman argued, would

Billion Dollar Appliance
Market Thanks To
Rural EIecirificaiion

WASHINGTON, D. C.-RED-
Facts and figures made public this
month show Americas rural electric
consumers will spend over one billion
dollars in 1860 on major electric
appliances.
Availability of electricity at low
cost has built this huge rural market
for the appliance industry, National
Rural Electric Cooperative Associa-
tion staff economist Paul Nelson re-
ports. He notes that the entire ma
tional economy benefits from the
rural electrification program.
In the major appliance category
alone-which includes ranges, freez-
ers, refrigerators, washing machines,
dryers and dishwashers-2.9 million
rural electric coop member-families
expressed an interest in purchasing
one or more of these items in 1860.
If NRECA's just-completed survey,
published in RURAL ELECTRIFICA-
TION magazine this month, had in
cluded sales potential for the many
other appliances on the market, the
billion-dollar figure would be upped
considerably, Nelson said.
This survey, since it showed figures
only for consumer products, does not
list expenditures by rural electric
systems for major distribution and
equipment.

From THE MACHINIST

There's real joy in the counting
houses these days. Business is bust
ing out all over. For the first half
of 1859 profits have made record
recovery from the 1858 recession.
During the second quarter industrial
production was the highest since the
industrial revolution.
General Motors profits scared (see
table below and u. S. Steel with
1884, ,948,000 for the first half of
1859 broke all records. Best first
half for Big Steel heretofore was in
1857 when the total hit 1921. 900, 900.
Earnings of fourteen steel compa-
nies (including U. S. Steel, which
accounts for three-fifths of the indus
try's production, are up lat per cent
from last year. This was nearly twice
as much as U. S. Steeps SO per cent

above the record 1857 first half.
Railroad profits during the first
five months of the year show a net
increase after taxes and all charges
of 210 per cent over the same period
of 1858.

Sometimes what doesn't go on al
a meeting strikes me as more signifi-
can't than the stuff that does. Take
last Wednesdays Land Board meet
ing, for instance.
Gov. J. Hugo Aronson, Attorney
General Forrest Anderson, Secretary
of State Frank Murray and Supt. of
Public Instruction Harriet Miller
went through the 19-point agenda
prepared by Land Commissioner Lou
Bretzke just fine except where there
was anything controversial or of a
policy-making nature.
They used the ''pass" technique on
item number IL which was entitled
Ere. House Resolution No. 13". The
word "pass" in meeting talk is used
when a quarterback calls for a punt
ON the football field. They also gave
sight approval to Bretzke's response
to a letter from Legislative Council
Executive Director Gene Tidball.
The four were elected to design
policy when there is no law covering
a practice of the Land Office. When
the chance comes they punt.
HR 13 is recommendation
which would have the Land Board
advertise lease lettings to see if
more money couldn't be pumped
into our tagging educational sys-
tenn.
Most of these lands were given to
Montana to provide a stable source
of income to help keep America on
an intellectual par with other nations. |
The purpose of the land is not to
see that mice people operate them.
The function of the board is not to
prevent "spite" or other base emo
tions arising when school lands are
up for lease. The Land Board was
elected to run a state not erect a
semi-religious temple of idiocy
Money, much more money. could

cause of budgetary hamstringing.
Secret dealing is not the only drain.
letter to the board con-
,erned the "block' method of leas-
ng. Huge tracts of eight or nine
sections of land are leased to single

he whole lease file. :
Secret blocks operated without i
strict conservation methods are 7
robbing your children of mental |

The block method of leasing puts Il

CompunyProfits Smashing
AiI-Time Record In 1859

The usually restrained U. S. NEWS
& WORLD REPORT, heralded the
good news under a modest headline:
Boom in Business Profits. Said the
u. S. NEWS:
"The figures suggest that, for the
year 1859 as a whole, corporate prof
its will break all records of the past.
The outlook now points to total prof
it's for all corporations of about "a II
billion dollars. The previous high was
23h billion in 1856"
Other business publications pre-
dicted that corporation profits before
taxes would hit record fifty billion
dollars this year. Last year the total
was thirty-seven billion. The record,
was forty-five billion dollars in 1855
and 1856. The experts also predict
record profits after taxes this year.
The stock market recently con-
firmed these reports. 1t was hitting
all-time record highs.
Here are random reports from we'll
known corporations showing profits
after taxes this half year as compared
to those for the same period last year:
