PlQUANT MEMORIES
RECALL BELOVED
TYRRELL TEACHER
BY BLANCHE w. COHOON

OLUMBlA-Slnce CeacnefS anu
schools are paramount in the news,
both at the state and local level
it brings forth recollection. of one
who taught in Columbia High
School about the year 1915, whom l
shall venture to say is most re-
Fnembered by his students, and
who could have-had school been
then as now-caused much outside
controversy as to his effectiveness
as a teacher.
He was E. W. F. Cooke, Judge
Cookies son as he proudly pointed
out on introduction, and who never
failed to remind students of the
parental honored name.
His roly-poly figure, standing
about 5'6", carrying around some
225 lbs. of weight, and his ill-fit-
ting clothes just made up the color
full character that he was. His
balding sandy hair and reddish
complexion seemed to frame a
hint of a smile and a keen sense
of humor.
Under him drawing, as we knew
e 1t, became ART, and artistic eX-
preston. When off-work his cray
on or brush, which was closest at
hand, began to create lovely pic
lures, even when drawn on the
rough paper of a thick five-cent
tablet. Peering over his shoulder
stood children so entranced Trey
even forgot that it was playtime-
recess-and breathlessly awaited
his next stroke to see what would
come up next.
During school hours, he would
place lemons on the pot-bellied
heater for roasting. When they be-
came hot enough, streams of juice
most time would squirt in the eye
of the nearest student, resulting in
a chuckle from Cooke, and mouth
watering of the students as he
nluRched on the lemons at class
time.
For whispering his method of
handling was effective. He took
time out from his teachings to call
the two engrossed in the secret
conversation forward and require
them to speak aloud what they
were saying in private. Some OF
the disturbers became speeches.,
while others brought filters from
the 40 odd number i'm the room.
The lesson was learned however,
for after two or three times up
front in the beginning, whisper
ing didn't bother Professor Cooke
too much.
One incident of punishment
stands out in memory. Three small
Ter boys were sent from a lower
room to the principal. If recol-
lection serves right, they were Ed
ward Cahoon, Sidney Mcmillan
and Samuel Bateman. These boys
had tied themselves together with
a single rope from which hung a
COW bell. Smiling, Mr. Cooke said
81 have heard of 'belling buzzards'
but never boys. Untieing the rope,
he gave each a peach tree switch,
and told them to whip each other.
Have often thought that probably
was the worst punishment they had
ever endured.
Possibly to test patience or re-
actions, he had habit of leaning
back in a swivel chair; placing his
feet up on the front row seat of the

Of the law of supply and demand.
Price and Demand
United States Government Off
Gals believe, however, that there
are flaws in this reasoning. They
say, first, that demand for coffee
is inelastic and does not go up
in proportion to price reductions.
Second, they point out that the
economies of many of the produc-
ing nations are built on coffee.
They say that free operation Of
the law of supply and demand
would mean a substantial drop in
world prices for coffee and would
mean financial ruin for the coffee
producing nations. United States
Government officials fear that
these nations would then be I'M

quire extensive loans from this
country or would turn to commu-

President Eisenhower appointed
Mr.. Rockefeller to q three-man
committee (others: DR.. Milton
Eisenhower and DR.. Arthur s.
Flemming) to study Government
operations. A recommendation for
a new Department Of Health. Ed

In his HEW post. he helped

cover 10 million more persons and

2. Expanding and amending the
vocational rehabilitation program

In addition, he helped promote

Bureau to maintain what they
considered an adequate budget for

Mr.. Rockefeller had several
other proposals at HEW which
did not get through. He supported
q Federal Reinsurance to extend
private disqualification benefits,
but the plan was defeated on the
House floor. He also made the
first proposal in the Eisenhower
administration for Federal aid

nowhere.

warfare he came up with the Open
Skies disarmament proposal.

at production, the real root
of the trouble. Chances are ex-
tremely slim, however, for any
meaningful agreement. Here are
some of the reasons:
/. Since coffee is the product
of trees which bear for 10 years,
it is not a crop which lends itself
easily to production controls.
Wheat, which is the subject of a
commodity agreement, for in
stance, is an annual crop. Tin,
the subject of another commodity
agreement, can be left in the
ground.
2. Production control is difficult
politically. In several Latin Amer
lean countries, Brazil especially,
owners of the large coffee PLAN
tations have a powerful voice in
the government, much like the
United States farm bloc. These
owners have stable capital in
vestments in their plantations and
are not likely to sponsor anything
which calls for uprooting their
trees. This is especially true at
the moment because prices are
good enough to enable them to
operate at a profit.
Africo Agreement
The majority of the Europeans
involved in Africa are not po-
litically strong enough to dictate
to Africa on the terms of any
meaningful agreement. This is
especially true of the United King
dom and Belgium.
In Africa coffee is grown largely
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-04
INTERNATIONAL CONTROL MOVE
Coffee Pact Crosses All Lines

by peasants on small farms. Such
people neither understand nor
like anything which means they
must plant less coffee. For many
Africans coffee is the first cash
crop. An example of typical
growers are the famous Watusi.
Coffee is the only cash crop they
produce in Ruanda Urundi in the
Belgian Congo.
3. Brazil, the worlds largest
producer, has finished her great
est expansion, while Africa is
just getting started. The latter
has ambitious plans to expand
production until 1t doubles its
present output.
Meanwhile, the dark continent
expects to be able to compete with
Brazil in prices because of lower
African costs. Africa is carving
for itself an increasingly larger
slice of world coffee markets.
4. Cutting down on production
neceSsitateS finding an alterna-
tive cash crop. This is not easy
to do. "
5. In applying artificial con-
trolls on coffee, it is necessary to
determine what constitutes a fair
and proper price. Already the
parties are in disagreement on
this. Brazil thinks the present
prices are satisfactory and would
like to keep them on an even
keel. The United Kingdom, how
ever, feels that a slight decline
in prices would stimulate demand.
More Production Feared
If the price is kept too high arti.
f1cially, it is likely to stimulate
still more production to add to
the problems. The present level of
prices is considered largely re-
sponsible for the expansion in
African production. The wrong
level of prices might even inspire
production in former big coffee
areas like Java and other places
in the Far East which now pro-
duce little coffee. .
How long coffee prices will hold
at their present levels seems to
depend on how long Brazil can
afford to buy and store the bean
to keep it off the market. She al
ready has Is million bags in
storage and is now embarking on
warehouse construction program
for the storage Of additional mill
lions Of bags. Several new ware
houses have been completed, and
more are planned.
The coffee market will be in
serious trouble if the Brazilian
government ever reaches the point
where it no longer can, afford to
keep buying coffee to keep 1t of
the market. Some experts here
think that if conditions ever reach
the point where Brazil might
dump coffee stocks, consuming
nations should impose import
quotas to prevent a disastrous
collapse of the market.
There is no thought Of any such
action in the foreseeable future,
however. The problem for the
next IL months will be to work
out a long-range agreement. Find.
ing one that is workable as well as
politically expedient will not be
an easy task. 1t may be impossible.

Scientific System for Predicting
Behavior of Criminals in Future

with theory. They report on one Of
their more ambitious experiments
the follow-up on the behavior Of
500 delinquents from the onset Of
their criminal careers until they
have reached the age of %. The
question was whether their predic-
lions jibed with the actual be-
havior Of these youths who went
through various correctional
phases.
Figures on Results
They reported these results:
OF 286 delinquents predicted
as having more than an even
chance Of violating straight pro-
baton, 94.4 per cent actually
committed serious or persistent
minor offenses during probation.
OF 344 offenders tagged as fall
ures during probation under sus-
pended sentence, SO per cent &C
tually turned out to be serious or
persistent minor offenders. OF
458 offenders predicted as violat-
ing parole, 81 per cent actually
were found to be parole violators.
Despite the high average on
these and other predictions, the
Gluecks looked at the reasons why
the predicted behavior disagreed
with the actual behavior of some
Of the offenders. Their findings
indicate that the right adult or
the right kind Of treatment can
make even a predictably bad
boy" into a law-abiding citizen.
For instance, their predictions
were of where there was especial
ly suitable treatment, where there
was especially resourceful super
vision, where there was a radical
change in the family's environ
ment, where there was some adult
the boy especially liked and where
there was an especially Nstrong
incentive for good conduct.
Neiehborhoods Influence
The Gluecks would be the last
to say that their tables-based on
parental attitudes, school record,
family origins, work habits, the
size of the family and other major
elements in a persons life-are
infallible.
They can predict that men of
foreign birth adapt better to cor
rectional treatment than native
born offenders, that sons of poor
families adapt better than Offend
ers from more comfortable homes,
that men who started work at an
early age are better prisoners than
men who started later, that un-
wholesome neighborhoods are more
important in predicting trouble
for women than for men.
While they recognize, however,
that these predictions may be of
in the case of an individual, they
defend their approach this way:
"In our judgment. the time has
arrived in the history of criminol-
ogy when it can be said, on the
basis of already existing evidence,
that the productive approach opens
up a promising path through the
dense forest of guesswork, bunch
and vague speculation concerning
theories Of criminal behavior"

history. It included increased
outlays for such Rockefeller pro-
grams as increased expenditures
for public housing and an extern
sion Of unemployment insurance
coverage to all workers in the
State.
But what frazzled the politicians
Of both parties was his demand
for $277 million in newN taxes to
help pay for the added services
and balance the budget.
This radical" Rockefeller pro-
posal provoked immediate out
bursts Of despair Republican,
and delight (Democratic) that he
had committed political suicide.
While others panicked the. Gov
ernor remained calm, but firm,
and eventually won the day over
only token opposition in the Legis-
lature. The amateur had made
quite a splash getting his political
feet wet.
There is no doubt that Mr..
Rockefeller is too liberal" for
some Republicans. This is much
more of a problem for him than
it is for Mr.. Nixon, a moderate.
IdeoIistic volues
But Mr.. Rockefeller apparently
is also too liberal for some Dem
ocratic strategists who see political
gold IN liberalism. They are
genuinely concerned over the
shadow he is casting on the
American scene.
1t was reported recently. in this
connection, that Prof. Arthur M.
Schlesinger. jr., braintruster for
Adlai Stevenson in the last two
presidential campaigns and now
in Senator John F. Kennedy's
camp. had warned his party that
Gov. Rockefeller could sweep
into the White House on the tide
of an expected popular return to
more idealistic political values in
the 1960s.
In his present position, as an
undeclared candidate for the
presidential n o m in tion, Mr..
Rockefeller has a ticklish problem
over this liberalism-conservat
business.
He cannot appear to be too
liberal with the nomination fight
just beginning, because the bulk
of the Republican Party ma
chinery in the States is in the
hands Of persons much more
conservative than he.
On the other hand, he cannot
make like a conservative because
in the long-shot event that he
wins the nomination he will have
to fly his own liberal colors. These
colors are more apt, it would
seem. to WOO successfully the So
called independent" vote, what
ever that may be.
Mr.. Rockefeller's press aide,
Richard Amper, may have spot
lighted his boss problem inad-
vertently when he told a newsman:

Governor doesn't like labels"

Contributing Writer

The price of coffee during the
next IL months will depend to q
large extent on a little noticed
agreement made here a few days
ago.
The pact is temporary measure
to support prices until a long,
range solution can be found to
the problem of a world surplus
of coffee. Seventeen nations have
agreed to hold coffee exports to
specific quotas for one year, start
ing October /.
The new agreement follows one
which expired September 80 and
called only for withholding certain
percentages Of production from
world markets, regardless Of the
size of output. For the first time.
two European countries-France
and Portugal-representing their
African producers, have taken part
in the accord along with the is
Latin American countries which
made up the membership of the
previous agreement.
While the new pact has the
advantage of being more definite
than the old one. no one looks
upon it as anything more than
a short-term emergency measure.
1t is not an enforceable instru-
ment and depends entirely upon
the good will of the members.
From the coffee growers stand
point its chief advantages are the
favorable psychological effect it
will have on world coffee markets
and its guarantee. if only tenn
porary, that Brazil will not dump
it's vast stored stocks Of coffee on
the market and bring about q
disastrous price drop.
nq-Ronee Pact Sought
Thirty-three nations-almost all
the worlds producers of coffee
have Joined the Coffee Study
Group. The aim is to come up with
a long-range agreement at the ex-
piration of the temporary agree
ment.
The basic trouble is that world
production of coffee is running at
81 million bags G32.3-pound bags)
a year while consumption is only
SO million bags. Moreover output
continues to expand. Between the
crop years of 1918 and 1859
Brazil increased production by "a
per cent, Colombia by 81 per cent,
and the rest of Latin America by
Sc per cent. Africa and other con-
tinents increased by $50 per cent.
Postwar price increases started
the upward spiral in production.
BY 1854 prices reached a record
level when frosts hit the crop in
Parana in Brazil. Much planting
was done at that time. 1t takes
four years for a coffee tree to bear
after it is planted, however. AS
result, trees which were planted
during the price peaks of 1854 did
not start yielding until last year.
Like all coffee trees, however. these
will continue to yield for around
10 years. What's more, additional
planting is continuing. Meanwhile,
the world surplus has risen to an
estimated 80 to IS million bags.
It appears that this situation
would operate to the advantage Of
