this issue would provide a bet

Mr.. Dillon reported that the
Soviet Union has received il1-
formation on four or five textile
fiber processes in the past year
but has not purchased any ma
chinery to make the synthetic
textiles.
The inference was that Rus

featuring processes than in the
machinery, although Premier
Khtushehev spoke Of his inter
estiin machinery as well.
The Soviet economy does not
offer substantial quantities Of
goods American buyers want
and are not already getting
from friendly nations, Mr..
Dillon pointed out.
I Credits Necessary
Any large-scale purchases by
the Soviet Union therefore
would require long period cred-

years.
Mr.. Dillon said he doubted
If American banks would be in

of credit even If restrictions Of

ago Stating the purpose of the paper it read; - "To
Wake-Up Your Mind"
The more thought about it, the better liked it.
If that isn't the function of both newspaper and
writer, then don't know what Isl Not to tell you what
to think but to stir up your mind that you think
for yourself.
One of the disadvantages of being free people is
that we have to do thinking. Our thoughts do
not neat cardboard containers ready to be
defrosted when want to them We free to use
our own minds for what they intended, and to
formulate opinions.
Of course, thinking is hard work. for if we want
to think clearly must be most cautious in the proper
evauaton of what we hear and read We must not just
shut and take the word of the loudest speak
We need to wake up minds with setting up
exercises We need to look around and what is
really so-not take someone's else word for it. We need
to look for the purpose back of bold definite statements
and we need to have courage enough to say-What is
your proof"
The Communists have improved upon Hitler's tech
nque of The Big Lie-based the theory that if you
shut off all but of and then repeat
lie often enough and loud enough it will be accepted
fact They have made it work behind the Iron Curtain
but its weakness is that lie is proven lie,
nothing else is believed That is why they intent
on keeping the Iron Curtain shut down tight.
Here in United States, believe in the free
dom OF the sefgOverned in ctZenry trained to think
for themselves. Sometimes may to the outside
world that there lot of dissension and differences

for perhaps as much as thirds
of the country's 5000, 1000 gallons
a-year liquor production. Every
body knows it.
Africans get their liquor in tens
of thousands of undercover "she-
beens," where anything from
"home brew" to scotch-and-soda
is on sale at a price. To keep
the shebeens supplied, there is a
far-flung net of liquor-running and
corruption.
Buying liquor for illicit consump-
ton by Negroes is big business in
South Africa, the sole support of
hundreds of down-and-outs who
need nothing but their white skin
to make the purchases. Bigger in
terests, sometimes involving po-
lice corruption, are also in the
business on a wholesale basis.
Checking the bootleg trade is a
mammoth task. One out of every
four convictions in South African
courts - nearly 1000 a day - is

Senator Lyndon johnson is gifted operator in the
art of the possible" But he is something special too
In the context of this deep which divides America
geographically and racally He is Texan, but ranch
not planter. And he stands sufficiently detached
from both Deep South and urban North to that the
cleavage is not simply between good people and bad
people His speech introducing his surprise civil rights
bill is one of exceptional perception.
He is mindful that the Civil Rights Act of 1857 rest
ed upon the realistic if not enthusiastic of both
sides. And he proposes to extend the life of the Civil
Rights Commission two years He knows that much as
people of good will may differ in attitudes toward color
they alike in their adherence of terrorism Senator
Johnson would have federal authority against

He is aware that desegregation of schools involves
the factor of associato-and of exaggerated fears of

OF discrimination is POLITICAL not social right guar
anteed unequvocay by the Constitution And that the
ballot is the key to many other rights. The senator's
bill avoids the complications of the school ssue-as did
the 1857 but would strengthen the federal
band in enforcing the right of suffrage.
And Senator Johnson's idea of a racial mediation
service goes to the heart of any ongrange sol
ton: restoring rational and friendly communication be-
tween the white and Negro groups This line with
what this newspaper has urged repeatedly since the
desegregation decision.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: l have often said here
that if you get a seat over in a
corner of one of the favorite Sat-
urday night spots up and down the
Ole Avenue, its no telling what
kind of conversation or argument
you'll find going on at one of the
tables where the faithful are I'm
dergoing their results Saturday
night repast of fish and beer. So,
l wasn't surprised when while en-
dulging my fish and beer l heard
two of the Gentlemen of the Cloth
in wide open discussion of what
kind of sermon would better suit
the spiritual needs of the Chillun
of Aunt Haggar's hereabouts at
this time, and after some discourse
at length which | listened to with
varying degrees of interest, l was
somewhat startled when all at once
one of the brethren gave out with
this text as the firm and convinc-
ing need of Aunt Haggar's Chill
luns now the next was, as
stated: WHY Do THINGS COME
AGAINST NE AND SERVE
THEE AND MY NEIGHBOR
A SINNER SUCCEEDS
Well, when / heard it, after
only a moments reflection, whe-
Their l caught the drift of the Bro
theirs thoughts or not, couldn't
help from agreeing with him thai
we among Aunt Haggar's Chilluns
need some sermons along the line
of that text. Turn us up anC
down, weigh us any way yor
please, and you'll find that the
greater part of our time is spent
worrying about something oul
neighbours got how ne got il
and how he got what to gil
it with and the more | thought
about the text, the more l coulc
understand why so few of US have
anything to be much worried about
ourselves the reason being
that when one of us gets a little
something puts one foot for
ward the rest of us stop doing
what we are doing and start worry
ing about how he got what hi

"SIN is OUR TROUBLE"


| saw the lightning flashing early
in the day
l heard the thunder rumbling for
many miles more
I saw the heart-broken mother you
see
She was standing in her door.
Arms folded with sorrow and grief
"No son is left with me at home
Sin has got the world stirred up
everywhere
And I am left here all alone"
Lord please remember me today
Help me to get this message out
today
And warn the world that sin won't
pay
That Jesus Christ is our only way.
Mans way is way of sorrow you
see
Jesus said that 81 am the way, lift
me up and I'll draw all men"
And His Father gave Him the
power over all you see
And we can say the power over
all even from the beginning.
Christ came to bring the world
peace
Died on the cross for the price
of all
Who would believe on Him not in
vain
Just you answer to His call.
We are giving our children longer
rope
They are swinging up too high
But the Lord has got His all-seeing
And there's no way for the world
to get by.
Christ was our redeeming soul you
None was fit to die on the cross
Like Jesus Christ our Savior our
all
His Father Our Lord made Him
our Boss.
We have got to obey our Christ
to win
His blood was shed for one and al
It was for no certain race He dice
He shed His blood for one and all
God gave to the world a Christ tt
die you see
Not for no certain one, it was fol-
liberty
God is going to give every race
it's rights
No blood to shed for new birth
you are free.
God is going to give all peace
No blood at all to shed
You have only to obey the will OF
God
And we will have no sin to dread
