home of Ray Miller in the northern
part of the county Miss Miss Russell wa

this country last summer because she
was in China. Her talk this year was

today's China. She showed great
MANY colored slides which show the
incredible improvement in the coun-
try since the revolution. This is not
only shown by material accomplish
>ments but is undeniably reflected III
the newly found self-respect and hap
piness of the people. Miss Russell
goes from here to Denver where she
will speak at the University OF Colo
RADIO.
Her talk was most informative and
stirred up local anti-Communlsts to
a new frenzy of name-calling and
atrocity stories.
Needless to say these self-appolnted
protectors of the American heritage
helped make the meeting interesting
and worthwhile.
Two days after the meeting, on
July &c. an organization was formed
in Circle to combat Communism.

called "Profiles in Courage, | would
be inclined to devote the opening
chapter to this tall, rangy, slow
speaking Tennessean who started his
political career with battle against
the entrenched machine of Boss
Crump.
With his reelection assured, Ke-
fauver seems to be on his way to en-
joying the popularity of men like
George Norris, Bob LaFollette and
others in the great liberal independ-
ent tradition. Unlike Stevenson he is
also prophet with honor in his own
community.
How has he managed to retain such
strong grip on the public's affec-
tons? The answer is to be found in
his record. 1t has been one of logged
resistance against all sorts of pres
sure, intimidation, threats and en-
Elements.
He came to Washington believing
in certain liberal principles. He was
determined to do something about
them. He has remained faithful to
them.
So far as the nation was concerned,
his career began with the 1851 Sen
ate crime hearings. That inquiry not
only proved that racketeers were in
filtrating, the big city political ma
chimes. 1t demonstrated that law
makers who are dependent on racket
GERS for their campaign contributions
eventually end up opposing progress
sive social legislation, if it suits the
rackets boss purposes.
Then came the battles with the
trusts, the oil cartel, the AT&T tele-
phone monopoly and finally the re-
cent fight with the big pharmaceuti-
cal interests over the, high cost of
drugs.
Yet none of his many valiant acts
compared with Kefauver's decision
this year, only a few weeks before
his tough primary test, to vote for
the 1860 Civil Rights bill. The "civil
rights" label, when pinned on candi-
date by virulent segregationist OPP
ponent, could have meant political
disaster.
Kefauved took chance. "The bal
loting,' he said afterwards in his
familiar drawl, "proves that a South
erner can vote for civil rights bills
and still get elected"
1t also proves that Americans, no
matter what their prejudices, like a
man with the courage of his convic-
tions.

Jury Finds Smoking Caused
Death of Cancer Victim

MIAMI CNS)-A federal jury
ruled August that Edwin Green
died as result of smoking cigarettes
for 80 years. 1t refused, however, to
hold the cigarette manufacturer re-
sponsible for his death.
Before Green died of lung cancer
in 1868, he sued American Tobacco
for more than a million dollars, say
ing he had smoked Lucky Strikes for
80 years and never been warned of
the dangers involved. His estate con-
tinued the suit. American Tobacco
commended lung cancer was not the
cause of Green's death at age 40 and
disputed that smoking causes cancer.
This was the first such damage
suit to go to jury After eight hours
of elaboration, the jury said Green's
smoking was ga proximate cause or
one of the proximate causes of the
development of cancer in his left
lung However, the jury said the
manufacturer couldn't be held re-
sponsible for knowledge of the rela-
ton of cancer and smoking prior to
1856 when Green's cancer was dag
nosed.
The question cigarette makers face
is whether the verdict serves notice
on them that they might be held
liable in the future.

Bell Telephone Trust
Profits Hit New Peak

The American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co.-biggest corporation in the
world and often called the "Bell Tele-
phone Trust just reported rec
ord-breaking profits in the year ended
last May 81. The profits were about
$11O million higher than the more
than 81 billion after taxes, in the
previous year.
AS LABOR often has reported,
AT&T considers that it has sacred
right to profits of at least per cent
on the par value of it's stock, and al
ways is allowed at least that figure,
and usually more, by various regula-
tory agencies. AS result, the market
price of the stock is far above it's par
value, and present buyers of the
stock don't get 9 per cent on their
investment.
Meanwhile, the Communications
Workers Union pointed out that
AT&T profits had scared from $184
million in 1915 to $1.15 billion last
year-and that, per employee, the
earnings had jumped from 1888, to
$1,575 in the same period. -LABOR.

THE MAN WHO MIGHT
HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT

Judging from the mail | have re-
ceived since the Los Angeles conven-
ton. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee
ranks next to Adlai Stevenson as the
Democrat with the most devoted per-
sonal following.
Considering that Kefauver has been
out of the presidential headlines for
three years the loyalty of his fol
lowers ranks as something of a poll
tical phenomenon. The general nature
of the comments from my letter-wrlt-
ers has followed two lines: first, a
troubled feeling about Stevenson's
future; second, rash of inquiries
as to why Kefauver was .by-passed by
his fellow-Democrats.
One writer asked, "Why couldn't
Estes Kefauver run for the Senate
and for President, too, as Lyndon
Johnson was doing in Texas?' The
answer, suppose, is that Kefauver
has never had as much control over
the Tennessee Democratic organiza-
ton as Johnson and Sam Rayburn
have had in their state.
Aside from the personalities in
volved, the Kefauver story, it seems
to me. is worth examining because OF
what it portends for this years presl-
Dental election.
The obvious observations have al
ready been made in the daily press,
namely. that in some sections of the
South there is not much die-hard re-
sistance to civil rights as the East
Lands and Talmadges would have US
believe.
Yet Kefauver's spectacular victory
over an ardent segregationist actual
ly tells even more than that. For one
thing it shows the public is able to
recognize that appeals to bigotry
sometimes are a cover for other
things. In that case Sen. Kennedy
may take comfort in the thought that
his Catholicism is not likely to prove
as much of handicap in Tennessee,
at least, as AL Smiths did in 1928.
But there is another aspect to the
Kefauver story which Kennedy and
Richard M. Nixon both might well
ponder. Kefauver stands for some
thing; rightly or wrongly there are
many voters. who still have doubts
about the two presidential hopefuls.

Profits Increased Three
Times As Fast As Pay
Of Workers During 1859

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(PAD-
Corporation profits during 1859 went
up three times as much as did wages
and salaries during the same year.
Revised 1859 statistics of the De-
partment of Commerce show that
wages and salaries advanced more
than $20,OOO,O 100000 during the year
for gain of 8 per cent.
Profits after taxes increased 3d.

25 per cent. Interest income, profit
ing By Eight money" policies of the
Eisenhower Administration, increased
S1,700,000,0O0 for gain of IL per
cent.
Gross national product for 1859
was $4e2,00O,00O,0OO with the ma
tional income reaching 100000, 1000
600, both figures setting new high
record. Constant dollar gross national
product was per cent higher than

BIG MAGAZINES BENEFIT
HUGELY FROM SUBSIDIES

Chief beneficiaries of the second
class mail subsidy are the big, mass
circulation magazines - many of
which constantly picture farmers as
wallowing at the public trough.
''It is interesting" the committee
says, ''to note that CCC farm price
support losses from 1888 to, January
1, 1860, have cost the taxpayers just
about equal the amount of the sub
sides to business through postal

improvements, in addition to rlghts-
of-way grants. The government made
other contributions by direct appro-
priations. stock subscriptions and
loans to private canal companies.
Approximately 1873 million acres
of federal and state lands were
granted to railroads between 1850
and 1871.
additional millions of dollars
have been used to subsidize the build
ing of ships on American ways. AS a
recent illustration, approximately
$40 million in subsidy was paid on
the private luxury liner United States,
that plies between this country and
Europe. The total cost of the ship
was given as $76,80O.000."
In the beginning, the committee
notes. subsidies were granted to en-
courage the development of domestic
industries. But in recent years, sub
sidylike programs have multiplied to
such an extent that their impact is
felt by virtually all elements in the
nations economic structure"
PREFERRED TREATMENT
In addition to cash or land pay
ments, the committee points out that
many American industries benefit
from preferred government treatment
which allows them to greatly expand
their profits. There is no uniform
agreement on what constitutes a sub
sidy.
&c. Public acceptance of partic-
ular subsidy the committees says
ironically, "may relate directly to
how we'll it is disguised as such, and
to its adaptability for being covered
up in bookkeeping
"Some contend" the pamphlet says,
"the tariff system is subsidy struc-
ture. since it involves government
action that enables protected indus
tries to charge more for their goods
in the American market.
Moreover, some consider that ac-
CELEBRATED tax amortization for de-
tense plants subsidized the owners
of these plants, that depletion allow
ances' provide subsidylike benefits to
the petroleum and some other indus
tries. that federal non-interest-bear-
ing deposits of billions of dollars in
private banks and certain services of
the Federal Reserve System amount
to subsidies for large private bankers,
that sale of federal surplus property
at a loss is a subsidy to the pur-
chasers, and that the postal deficit on
second-class mail is subsidy to bust
ness"

REA MINUTEMAN

All the fuss about the REA interest
rate has led to charges by opponents
e Of the pre- es IA til at rural eleetassies
subsidized.
The basis of the charge is that when
the government borrows money,
through the sale of bonds, notes or
bills, it pays an interest rate higher
than the go it charges on REA
loans. This argument ignores the fact
that up until 1856 the REA rate was
higher than, or substantially equal to,
the governments overall "cost of
money! The go rate seems low only
when compared to the inflated level
of today's interest rates.
Along with the REA borrowers, all
other segments of agriculture have
been hit with the Subsidy charge.
Some national magazines and news
papers picture the farmer as a priv
LEGGED person with two Cadillacs,
getting fat and rich on subsidies paid
by people in the cities.
To put all this in perspective, the
House Agriculture Committee has just
issued a revised version of a pam
phlet on government subsidies. 1t
proves that if some farmers receive
subsidies, the amount is low COM
pared to the dole given many other
types of business.
EXAMPLES OF SUBSIDIES
The committee cites the following
examples:
"The government granted $780,
339 acres of public lands to private
interests, between 1927 and 1866, to
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1960-08-19

| deficits alone, during the l2-year
period 1947-59, inclusive"
The pamphlet reprints a table pre-
pared by the Post Office Department
| in 1856, showing the mail subsidy
given several large magazines during
that year. 1t went this way:
Amount of
Magazine Subsidy
| Life - ----$9, 494, 900
| Saturday Evening Post - $685. 900
Readers Digest - 100000
Look ------------------------- 3,482,OOO
Ladies' Home Journal $500 100000
Woman's Home Companion 1,584,000
McCall's ------------- 100000
National Geographic - 1,335,000
These and other examples cited by
the Post Office Department constitute
total annual subsidy of just IA
magazines of $38,775,00O.
In defending their own subsidy, the
corporations which own these lucra-
tive publications say it is essential to
the dissemination of information and
the health of the free press.
Perhaps this is true. Certainly rural
electric systems can and do argue that
low interest rates are essential to
their program. Increases would have
to be paid by the consumer in any
case. This might kill some magazines,
1t would also kill some rural electric
systems.
ALL SUBSIDIES ARE NOT BAD
The committee does not say that
all subsidies are bad, or even that
some particular ones are bad. 1t
simply makes the point that the
farmer, unfairly has ''been cast in
the role of chief villain in drama
of government largesse."
The committee makes it clear that
the people pay the bill for all SUBJ
sides. either in the role of consumers
or taxpayers. Consumers pay for the
benefits of government policies which
go to industry and labor; taxpayers
pay for benefits which go to farmers.
Consumers and taxpayers" the
pamphlet notes, "are one and the
same"
Under a general definition of SUBJ
sidy, the committee said, Virtually
all the population would seem to be
in a subsidy recipient posture and,
moreover, almost all are participating
in the payment of costs. 1t is certain
that the total population feels the
economic impact of the subsidy pro-
grams for industry, labor and agri-
culture"
