Sugar Legislation
BY George B. Swenson

In an area such as ours where
a piece of legislation namely the
sugar act effects to some degree
the daily lives of each Of us, l
think it is important that we
know what it is and how it works.
Sugar legislation dates back one
hundred and forty some odd years
to a bill passed by our first cong
ress. 1t was a raw sugar tariff of
one cent per pound, intended
solely as a revenue producing
measure. This act at varied rates
remained in force for one hundred
years at which time it was COM
pletely repealed and replaced by
a bounty system. The bounty sys-
tenn was designed to ease the Sc
we're jolt on domestic producers
caused by the repeal of the tariff
and called for a two cent per
pound bounty on domestically pro
duced sugar. This of course caus-
ed economic disturbances abroad
and as a result lasted only one
year. The tariff was again put into
use which, also at varied rates,
was to be our sole implement of
national sugar policy for the next
forty years. Here is how the USDA
described this forty year era in
words, "The history of the sugar
industry during this period is a
sequence of stable earnings, wild
prosperity, severe but short lived
depression, temporary recovery,
and prolonged depression in that
order.
For the consumer it was a per-
iod of chaotic conditions. AS an
example assume that you we're {
commercial user of sugar who had
contracted yesterday your next six
months requirements, which is {
common practice today, at ST.

morning to a market demand o.
SOB per pound for the same sugar
In the year 1884 the Jones' Cos
/ tigan Act was enacted which wher
amended in 1887 took on the nam,
of The Sugar Act. This is basicall.
s the act as we know it today witt
these principle purposes:
1. To assure American consum
ers an adequate supply Of sugar a
a reasonable price.
2. To encourage foreign trade
8. To provide healthy economi
climate for competitive domesti
sugar industry.
q The act requires the Secretar
& of Agriculture to determine eac
year the annual sugar require
ments of the domestic consumer
This estimate is the basis used

u ments Although the Secretary {
Agriculture does not have til
N power of fixing the price of sus
u ar, should the price appear to b
ia getting out of range he may &C
81 lust his estimate in order to g,
the price effect of larger or small
er supply. AS an illustration of IL
effectiveness of this, on July 2
1860 the base price of sugar
the wholesaler increased twen+
cents per cwt, practically ov'
night the off shore quotas we,
increased 500, 900 tons, by Septer

The Rev. Josef Mohr was a
priest of implicit faith and child
like trust in the goodness of man.
He had a close friend, Franz Cru
Der, who was versed in music
and dabbled now and then in
composition.
Between them they composed
the worlds most simple and beau
tiful Christmas song - Silent
Night, Holy Night"
The song is sung in practically
ell civilized tongues. Yet, little
or no thoughts are given to the
poet and composer and the little
town and country in which they
worked and lived.
World at Peace
Europe was at peace on Christ

There was one minor note of
sadness. The organ in the little
church had finally given out and
there would be no music for the
traditional midnight mass.
But the people of Oberndorf did
not know that Mohr had written
a poem and given it to his organ

the afternoon and evening of De

words to music.

Ralph Kaul, Democratic can

has resigned from the execu-
tive committee of the Arling-
tonians for a Better County.
Mr.. Kaul, who was reelected
to the county board last No

told ABC Chairman Lawrence
Latto he is leaving the commit
tee because his opponent might
make an issue of the fact that
he is running as a Democrat
sitting on the ABC execu-
tive committee.
Both the ABC and the Demo-
Gratis are running candidates in
the November County Board
race. AS a Democrat, Mr.. Kaul
is pledged to support and vote
for all Democrats in the elec-
tion.
That means Mr.. Kaul would
support, passively at least,
Democrat DR.. Lucas H. Blevins
in the race against ABC Can

Agency Insists
On, Parkway
Widening Ban

National Capital Parks last
night vigorously defended its
continuing refusal to widen
George Washington Memorial
parkway to six lanes between
Alexandria and National Air
port.
I'VE are not charged with
the duty of building traffic
ways or commuter roads," de-
clared Robert c. Horne. chief
of design and construction for
the park agency.
Our duty is to maintain
and preserve the parkway as a
memorial to George Washing
ton"
Mr.. Horne discussed the con-
troversy about the parkway at
a meeting of the Northern
Virginia Regional Planning
Commission.
The throughfare is being ex-
panded to six lanes between the
airport and the Fourteenth
Street Bridge.
Alexandria, with the support
OF Arlington and Fairfax Coun-
ties, has demanded that the
widening be continued all the
way to its borders.
Mr.. Horne reported that sur
veys indicate the flow of traffic
from the airport toward Wash
lngton is almost twice as heavy
as it is between the airport
and Alexandria, where the ex-
listing four lanes will be divided
and broadened to IL feet.
He said expansion of the
present lanes will virtually
double the capacity between
Alexandria and the airport and
enable that segment of the
parkway to accommodate cur
rent needs.
Mrs. R. F. S. Starr, one of
Alexandria's members on the
commission. declared that "be-
cause of the tremendous de-
velopment occurring south of
Alexandria, it is shortsighted
to carry six lanes only to the
airport"
She asserted that simple
common sense planning" die
tates that National Capital
Parks at least make provision
for future expansion of the
parkway when new residents
impose heavier burdens upon
lit.
IF additional lanes are
needed. we feel it is the duty
Of the appropriate highway
agencies to provide them and
not the duty of National Cap
ital Parks" Mr.. Horne replied.

Hits Modern Art 7 rend
BY HARVEY CLEW
Star STAFF Writer

Cubes and splashes may pre-
vail in the art world today but
one elderly Washingtonian is
determined to keep the more
traditional form alive as long
as she can WELD a brush.
Mrs. Mathilda Roome Duval,
a painter for 88 of her 95 years,
resists the abstractionist trends
of modern art with the vigor of
a teen-ager.
Modern art is a miscarriage
of justice" say Mrs. Duval, a
great-grandmother, who stud
led at the New York Academy
of Design and at the Corcoran
Gallery in Washington during
the 1880s.
Its not strong enough to
carry thought. Modern art
lists only paint what they want
to paint. not what's really
there" she charges.
Work on Display
Mrs. Duval lives at 5161 Mac
Arthur boulevard NV, with a
son, William T. Littell, a pho
tographer. She is displaying
her work this week at the Dyer
Brothers Paint Store, 172l N.
Fort Myer drive Arlington. Her
exhibit closes at l pm. toner
row.
She says she would exhibit
in a more conventional gallery
but art directors today accord
mo recognition to legitimate
art"
At 95 she still has a firm
but light touch, employing
sh a doWs and shading to
achieve a ti-dimensional
effect in her still-life subjects.
