the present generation be similar
ly described?
There are signs that we have
ignored the lessons of the past,
and are still-because of our
tendency to go with the crowd
and swim with the tide-inadvert-
emily adopting those dangerous
ideas which prompted Khrush-
chev to prophesy in his infamous
TV broadcast that your grand
children will live under socialism"
We meet each new situation with
new expedient with little regard
for its moral justification or ulti-
mate consequence. And, as in the
shameful New-Fair Deal era, it is
happening so gradually we don't
seem to know it. For sake of adj
vantage, many of those who should
know, turn their backs or tempo
rize with principle and truth.
Regrettably, it appears that
America is afraid to defend its
belief in basic principles. We
seemingly lack the fortitude to
draw firm line between right
and wrong. More and more we
are operating in gray areas. 1t is
becoming increasingly apparent
that we are losing the courage to
take a simple stand for moral
rights. To our great misfortune,
the professional purveyors of
world Government, the idealistic
do-gooders with their heads in
the clouds and their feet planted
firmly in mid-air, and the self
styled liberals have made their
mark. If this hypnotic drift con-
tinues, we shall lose the ability
and the will to defend ourselves,
even as the disciples of atheistic
communism have always preached
plotted and predicted.

Congressional
Viewpoint
A Shabby Heritage
Sen John Marshall Butler

- ondDDv TleIltd9e
More than a century ago, Lord
Macauley, the English writer and
statesman, when speaking CT the
American Republic, made this
prediction: Your Republic will be
pillaged and ravished in the
twentieth century just as the
Roman Empire was in the fifth
century-with this difference: the
devastators of the Roman Empire,
the Huns and the VandalS, came
from abroad, while your barbarians
will be the people in your own
country and the product of your
own institutions"
Immediate past history illumi-
mates the fact that we are re-
treating from those fundamental
principles which have made this
Nation outstanding. Through a
combination of sheer stupidity
and moral CONFUSION, we ana our
institutions are, in truth, diluting
our most dynamic and cherished
assets. Indeed, without realizing,
we are now handing to our youth
a shabby heritage. In explaining
this ominous phenomena, it has
been said that the fathers and
mothers and grandparents OF
yesterday and yesteryears failed
in their responsibility as citizens;
that they we're the custodians of
freedom, and while each day they
sang its praise, they allowed its
substance to be destroyed. Will

Teen Corner
BY DICK CASTILOW

Hi Again. Time is sure flying,
State Teachers meeting, already! !!
I'm very glad that all at Teen
Club enjoyed themselves. We had
over 1870 kids there Friday night
and tomorrow night l would like
to see the attendance mark go
over ESQ Bob Oliverio did a very
fine job of entertainment last week.
We have a new p. a. system and
the records sure sound great. We
had teenagers from Aurora and
one adult accompanied them. I'm
real pleased that they could come
down and | would like to see
representative group of 20 or more.
There is a bunch of real great
kids up in the Aurora-Eglon area.
Last week l asked for views on
Teen Clubs in general. This was
from statement by an adult in
Jul community lhdN tSShdSNio
should be able to find their own
entertainment. My retaliation was
where will they find this enter
tainment in a beer joint or parked
carp"
Here is a letter l received We'd
neSday morning from the leader
of the Ryans Glade Teen Club,
Mrs. Maryland Loughry.
Hi Dick,
In reply to comment made by
you in last weeks Teen Corner"
here are my views.
1 agree with you that Teen age
kids have to have entertainment.
Why not have good clean public
entertainment such as playing
their favorite records and dancing?
Having fun in general, getting to-
gether with their friends and
speaking the present day language
Oh IeendSerS.
Being the mother of teen ager
myself, | can so will understand
the restless feelings teen kids
have. Kids nowadays are products
of a restless age War time babies,
who by no fault of their own,
we're born of restless parents. Let's
not run them down, but try to
be understanding about their prob
lens and helpful in every way
we can.
l was a teenager too, once not
SO long ago and | hope | can be
helpful, and happy mother of
teenager, because | have more
coming on besides the present one
l am concerned about.
For these who disagree, come,
see for yourself. Who knows you
might even strike the right note
and feel the way we do.
Teenage Club leader OF Ryan'S
Glade Teen Club.
Mrs Maryland Loughry
Thank you very much Mrs.
Loughry.
| would like other views on
this matter. Just send them in
and wC1l answer them.
Hope to see you all tomorrow
night at the armory and you can
see me if you want to hear some
good music Saturday afternoon
100 to $3.50 on Boyland Bandstand

What Price Wheat?

If anything stays with us longer
than death and taxes" it probably will
be the farm problem. And when the
yearly round Of politicking ends on Cap
itol Hill it is virtual certainty that one
of the Accomplishments" will be legis-
lative action guaranteeing that the
problem will be just as bad, or more
likely worse, twelve months later.
For years, Congress has persisted in
keeping alive pSeudo-e economic mish-
mash described as program for doing
something for the farmers" 1t has been
costly, outdated and ineffective pro-
gram. What it has done most of all is to
fill warehouses with mountains of un-
needed and unwanted Government
owned surpluseS. Warehouse companies
have Jared well, and so have the big
corporation farms which have been paid
the largest sums for growing crops that
were not needed.
The worst gimmick in this business
has been price support formula based
upon statistics and conditions prevailing
from 1910 to 1914, nearly half-century
ago. And the worst headache, in recent
years, has been in wheat-for which the
Secretary of Agriculture is required by
law to fix the price support figure at a
level between rs and 80 per cent of the
1904 index Surpluses currently on
hand-at cost to the Government of
approximately ST million daily for stor-
age, transportation and interest charges
amount to 30-month supply.
AS in the past, Secretary Benson is
proposing to do something about it. With
the approval of President Eisenhower,
the Secretary is advocating price sup
port formula based upon average market
prices for the past three yearS-rather
than the 1904 parity. If adopted, it is
estimated that the support price would
be fixed at approximately $1.4O per
buShel instead of the SLIT per bushel
now prevailing. In addition, Mr.. Benson
is urging an expanded program of VOL
untary acreage retirement for the next
five to ten years.
There is reason to believe the Ben
son formula would at least provide a
start in digging the Government out
from under its expensive mountains of
stored wheat. Unfortunately, in an elec-
ton year, there is not as much reason to
believe that the friends of the farm
ers" on Capitol Hill will be favorably
impressed.

Narrowing the Gap

One Of the more important facts of
life in the second half Of the twentieth
century is that the Soviet Union-a
paradoxical land with bad plumbing and
excellent technology-is Sparing no ef-
fort to overtake and Surpass the United
States as the worlds leading economic
power.
The nature and meaning Of this
effort have been well defined by Allen
Dulles, chief of our Central Intelligence
Agency. AS he sees it, according to the
testimony he has just offered at the
Joint Economic Committees hearings on
the subject, it is an effort that will have
perilouS international political and mill
tary potentialitieS If our national econ
omy fails to meet the challenge by ac-
celebrating the pace Of its own growth.
1t is true that as of now, in terms of
agricultural output, industrial produc-
tion and labor productivity per man
hour, we are still far ahead of the Soviets.
In that respect, Premier KhruShchev has
given voice to wildly exaggerated boasts
in proclaiming that the USSR by 1870
will enjoy the worlds highest standard
of living and excel the United States in
the absolute volume of goods produced.
Nevertheless, although no such gain Is
possible in ten years, it would be reckless
to belittle what the Russians are doing.
This is so, as Mr.. Dulles has warned,
for the following reason: IF the Soviet
industrial growth rate persists at 8 or 8
per cent per annum over the next dec
ade, as is forecast, the gap between our
two economies will be dangerously mar
rowed unless our own industrial growth
rate is substantially increased from the
present pace" That pace is less than
per cent year, and the CIA director
has strongly suggested that it needs to
be boosted to around per cent, if not
more, for SafetyS sake
What worries Mr. Dulles, and others
as well, is that the American economy
may be content, between now and 1870,
to maintain its current rate of growth
In that caSe-and here is the danger
the Russians will be able to narrow the
gap very markedly, enough so to make it
easier for them to expand their great
military power and intensity their per-
SiStent penetrating efforts in the un-
committed and underdeveloped nations
of the free world.
OF course, if the USSR were a land
of liberty, its economic progress could
be cheered as something promising to
promote human betterment. However,
given the repreSSive, dominance-Seeking
nature of communism, our country and
all other free nations must take less
than happy view of the prospect. That
is the sum of Mr.. Dulles warning.

TEL AVIV-At one point
or another before he ends his
visit to "Old Newland," a
foreigner will almost certain
ly hear a story that never
seems to lose flavor in Israel.
1t goes something like this:
A scorpion asked a frog one
day to carry him across the
Nile. Although demurring at
first, the frog finally agreed,
but only on condition that
the scorpion solemnly prom
ise not to sting him on the
way over. "Of course I prom
ise," said the scorpion. Since
I can't swim, why should I
do such a thing when I know
it would mean my own death
as well as yourS?" So they
proceeded across the great
river. At midstream, however,
the scorpion suddenly de-
clared to his benefactor:
well, I've changed my mind;
I'm going to sting you after
all" "Oh no." cried the frog.
What good will it do? 1t
makes no sense: 1t can
achieve nothing but the de-
struction of both Of us!" To
which the scorpion replied:
Never mind the logic Of the
situation, my friend. Just re-
member, this is the Middle
East" Whereupon he un-
leashed his stinger, and the
two drowned forthwith.
The Israelis, including their
foreign ministry'S experts in
the capital city of Jerusalem,
are inclined to tell this wry
little fable whenever outsiders
ask them about what is going
on in the surrounding Arab
world. The point is that that
world is in many ways a high
ly enigmatic place where the
unpredictable and the illog-
ical must be reckoned with
not just some of the time, but
all of the time. In other
words, theories and explana-
tions bearing upon the mur-
ky complexities of trends and
developments in the Middle
East-a region of exceedingly
troubled waters in which the
Kremlin is constantly fishing
are subject to change with
out notice. For they are

They Like Nixon

Governor Rockefeller is reported to
have come away from his Western pulse
taking tour in confident mood. But
this show Of confidence, one suspects,
was more matter of political necessity
than of real conviction.
Presumably, the purpose of this
Rockefeller journey was to test sentiment
among 6. o. p leaders. And on this
score the results of the survey are all
too plain-the leaders, especially in
California, Washington and Idaho, are
in the Nixon corner as of this time. If
there is any basis for confidence on the
New Workers. part, it can only lie in the
assumption that the door has not been
finally slammed against him. AS far as
the Republican leaders in the West are
concerned, however. it looks very much
as though they are planning not only to
slam the door, but to lock it as well.
This, it seems to us, is driving
Governor Rockefeller to an inescapable
decision. If he is going to bid for the
G. o. P. presidential nomination, he will
have to pitch his appeal to the Repub-
lican rankandflle, going over the heads
of the leaders. And there is only one way
in which this can be done-by entering
as many primaries as possible, or as
seems feasible, and demonstrating there
that he is better vote-getter than the
Vice President. If he will not or cannot
make such showing, his still unavowed
candidacy seems doomed. Certainly, the
odds will be overwhelmingly against him
If ne pins his hopes on winning over the
party leaders. From all the evidence,
they like Nixon.
