ed about our crew finally proving
itself worthwhile so the brass de-
cided they could be sent on a mis-
sion overseas. It's fun to me al
ways to listen to service men talk
ing about their jobs, the men they
work with, their superiors. Always
in a group like that there are some
real wits and this assemblage was
no exception.
Our crew knows / am no good
at good-byes and they tried to
keep the conversation light. HAYES
was ribbed about the amount of
baggage he "toted." Besides
clothes for the duration he had
packed ham gear, spare ham parts,
cameras, lots of books on. amateur
radios and music. He took his
portable radio, typewriter and tape
recorder. He was loaded with ev-
erything he could think of to pass
the hours. Don (the aircraft COM
mander) had to claim some of his
gear in order for Hayes to be
within the luggage weight limit.
Soon the briefing was over and
the men in blue began to file out
of base operations and head for
the tanker which would take them
to their first stop.
The flight line by this time
was more picturesque than | have
ever seen it. There were rows and
rows of silver planes lined up as
far as / could see, but much activ-
ity centered around one particular
KC-97. The boys were boarding
this plane. Maintenance men were
feverishly working on the ground
getting it all set for take off time.
Air Force men were shaking hands
with each other and saying good
luck" Merry Christmas" take
care of Mary and the children" In
back of the planes / could see the
blue runway light, the beacon from
the tower and the sky just begin
mig to turn pink from the rising
sun. An artist could have won an
award depicting the scene.
Hayes kissed me goodbye. /
watched him ascend the planes
steps carrying one of his Christ
mas presents in one arm and wav-
ing goodbye to me with the other.
1t was a sad time, but a proud
moment, too.
Until next week.
Always,

Looking at
WASHINGTON

ida, we should frankly face up to
the very SOLDERING implications OF
the Soviet economic program, and
the striking progress they have
made over the last decade
AS we view it, the Dulles esti-
mate is clear warning to the Uni
ted States, and to the government
of the United States, that we must
improve our system and expand
our economy. We can do this, and
one of the ways we can de it, is to
adopt realistic tax rate ON busi-
nesses-so that expansion will be
encouraged and that taxes will not
amount to penalties on initiative
growth or success.
In the end, it may be that tax
revision will do as much to help
our economy's expansion as any
other one. thing, and, fortunately
a congressional committee is now
| looking into the whole tax problem
with a view to recommending
changes at the next session of Con-
gress.
IKE'S NEW FARM PLAN
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson has revealed the out
line of a new farm program. II
will be the Eisenhower Admins
tration's farm proposals for 1860
as they are presented to Con-
gress.
In brief, the Benson-Eisenhow
er program consists of five major
points. First, an expanded pro-
gram of retirement of land from
crop production for the next five to
ten years would be sought by in
creasing the money allotted for this
purpose.
Second, a new program of re-
search aimed at finding new mar
kets and new uses for farm pro-
ducts is to be undertaken. Third
vigorous Seed Program would at
tempt to see that more of our
pluses were used to help supple
ment the food supplies of our
| friends abroad.
Fourth, a program would be un-
dertaken to assist farms in the low
income areas attain a higher stan
dard of living. This would be
known as an expanded rural de-
veIopment program.
Finally, realistic price support
program on storable commodities
would be worked out, and the old
parity formula abandoned Like
wise quotas and acreage controls
would be ended
Since Congress rejected some
what similar proposals in its last
session, the Eisenhower-Benson
program may be in for rough sled

POOR WRITING

There are many tips given to newspaper
readers, in editorial columns, and we will
proceed to offer one at this time 1t may be
worth twenty-nine cents, or it may be worth
q good bit.
The advice we offer is for every high
school or college student to learn to write
well enough to express his views. Of course
individuals have varying degree of ability
in this line, but by application everyone who
can pass high school or college standards
can reach certain degree of proficiency in
writing.
Experts recently have declared that stu
dents are not as skilled in writing today as
they were a generation ago, and we think
standards should increase, not be lowered
To be able to write good letter, or good
summary, or statement, is highly important
In fact, it is just as important to be able
to write up to a certain standard as it is to
be able to speak, or talk fiuently and clearly.
While we may be failing in the science field
in our educational system, we are also fail
ing in this field, and to all youngsters (and
adults who might influence them) we
strongly suggest that they put some time
and effort on learning to write.
We do not urge this because journalism
is lucrative profession. In fact, the reverse
is true. We do not recommend attaining a
certain level of ability in this field for its
application in the profession of writing it
self There are many other more lucrative
fields.
But being able to express oneself clearly
is an advantage in almost any avenue of life.
1t can make the difference in getting jobs,
in salary increases, and in achieving agree
ments, and in almost every other field.

ding in election year 1860. How
ever, the farm dilemma is real, and
some solution, or permanent, prac-
tical approach to the problem, is
obviously overdue.
Despite the theoretical or long
term soundness of the Benson Els
enhower approach, if farm income
continues to fall, that program is
sure to produce strong opposition
in the midwest, in the South, and
in >other farming areas. It is
doubtful if Congress will be able to
get together on a good, overall
approach to the problem in 1860.
If solution is not found in, 1860,
the new Administrations 1861
should see to it that a workable,

Babson Park, Mass, November 26.
Since returning home from my long
trip to Europe, / find that many of
my friends here are greatly inter-
ested in buying stocks now of Ger
man, French, Italian, and other
European companies.
Is All Europe Turning SOcialistic?
Let me first say that in Norway,
| Sweden, and Denmark, the rail-
ways, telephone and telegraph, and
all the utilities are owned by their
national governments. All these
countries have many private stores
and huge "co-operatives. In some
of these countries every co-opera-
tive not owned by the state must
have a majority of it's directors
citizens of that country. Holland
and Belgium are more friendly to
outside investors.
In Poland and Russia everything
is state-owned. Hence, the purchase
of European stocks by Americans
is limited practically co stocks of
corporations in limited number of
nations as noted above.
Conditions In Germany
West Germany is now very pros
porous and this prosperity extends
lin decreasing proportion-until
we reach Spain. The German people
are intelligent and Industrious, and
are not handicapped by. unreason-
able labor leaders or tax collectors.
The favorite German stocks are the
"industrials," namely chemicals,
metallurgy, electronics, building
materials, automobiles, paper pro-
ducts, and chain stores. The banks
| which largely carry on the in
vestment business-are also max

the recent fine victory of the con-
servative party. They don't want
Communism; and / hope the Rus
SLAMS will get tired of it. Much,
however, depends upon China
which is fast developing its own
form of Communism. All the above
means that my u. S. readers had
better look upon European stocks
as dangerous speculations rather
than as investments.
Our Securities And Exchange
Commission
Bankers and brokers have never
liked our Securities and Exchange
Commission. They claim its red
tape puts "ball and chain" on the
sale of new issues of stocks and
bonds. /, however, feel it is a pro-
lection to all honest investors, and
even spectators, if they take the
time to read the prospectuses
which the Commission requires.
Stocks and bonds issued by bank
ers and corporations in Germany
and other European countries do
not have to be reported to such a
commission; in fact, no such COM
mission exists in Germany. There
fore, it is. often impossible to get
the records of earnings, assets
and other details of European
stocks or bonds which the corpora
tions or bankers do not care to
publish. furthermore, punishments
for false rumors and estimates"
are not severe enough to insure ac-
curacy or honesty. Hence, irrespec-
tive of fears of World War III or
any Communist activities, I cannot
advise my readers to now invest in
Europe.

les may offer temporary profits.
American investors who buy
them are, however, playing with
fire. hope / am wrong, but think
that Mr.. K. will succeed in getting
control of all Berlin and will ulti-
mately consolidate East Germany

many. This could enable Mr.. K. to
control the entire area under the
Polish System The Poles insist
they are not Communists; but all
property is owned by the Polish
Federal Government, which is
friendly to Russia. Hence / do not
recommend the purchase of any
German stocks or bonds.
KhrushcheV's European Program
AS I stated last week, Mr. K does
not want World War III. His hope
is that some way can be worked
out for him to gradually consoli-
date and control Germany without
fighting. But if he must fight to
bring about his goal, and if we
should feel obliged to get into a
nuclear war, hate to think of
what would follow Western Europe
does not want Communism; but I
believe that with the exception of
the property owners-who are a
small minority-the majority are
favorable to state ownership under
the Polish System.
If World War III should come, all
Europe would Immediately turn So
cialistic and have state ownership;
but gradually-war or no war
this is the. trend. This especially
applies to France, Italy, and per-
haps to England, Notwithstanding
