Stocks Mixed Missile
And Aircraft Issues Up

NEW YORK, May / (AP).-
Aircraft-misSile shares were
fairly strong in a mixed stock
market early this afternoon.
Trading was slack.
Suspense over the Laos cease
fire situation caused consider
able hesitancy about making
further commitments. The air
craft-missile shares. however,
made progress because Of the
apparently hazardous interna-
tional situation.
The missile and rocket stocks
also found themselves getting
more attention because of the
American attempt to send a
manned space vehicle aloft.
Steels and motors had an
edge to the upside while losses
were shown by rubbers, some
airlines. tobaccos and drugs.
Most changes were small, a
few going to a point or so.
Mcdonnell Aircraft, prime
contractor for the Mercury
man-in-space project, ad-
vanced more than a point in
brisk dealings.

Mr.. Hammarskjold's report, to

on arrangements to help uphold

In his report, Mr.. Hammarskjold
recalled the previous statement
that he intended to seek arrange
ments which would provide for ap-
propriate safeguards for human
rights"
During the discussions between
the Secretary General and the
Prime Minister of the Union of

found" he reported. "In the view
of the Secretary General this lack
of agreement is not conclusive, and
he wishes to give the matter his

Baylor by SO points and has played

Baylor with 1854 points and q 34.6

The Congo Conference
Christian Science Monitor

1t is to be hoped but it is by means certain that
the first conference of representative Congoese to
tackle the problems of that strferdden country will
open new phase in its independence.
The hope springs from the fact that the conference
brings together several of the elements whose COOP
Grafton is necessary to Congo unity They the lead
ers of the Kasavubu regime with the commission of in
tellectuals that Colonel Mobutu chose for plus men,
hers of the Parliament which suspended by Presi
dent Kasavubu when he deposed Patrce Lumumba from
the premiership plus tribal leaders, plus the powerful
provincial leader President Tshombe of mine-rch Ka-
tanga.
The uncertainty arises from the omission of Mr.
Lumumba himself, he being in jail The United Ma
tons Mr. Hammarskjod has just declared political
settlement will be impossible without Mr. Lumumba
Reports tell of Mr. Kasavubu and Mr. Tshombe
moving together under the influence of common hopes
for the conference and of growing from the
Lumumba supporters who reported receiving mill
ary aid from outside the Congo But these tend to ex
aggerate by implication the differences that have exist
ed between Mr. Kasavubu and Mr.. Tshombe
Here is why the possible impact of the conference
could easily be overestmated It ensts broad interests
including trbalsm But these are seriously challenged
within the Congo by the "nationaism" of the Lumumba
followers and from outside the Congo not only by Com
munists but by other African governments who rec
ognlze governments who recognize Mr. Lumumba as
symbol of African forces which they themselves en-
body.

Well girls, when the month of
February rolls around, we know it
won't be long before we will have
to come out of our coats. We all
know just what that means. It
means that our Shapes will be
showing" and all of the Oceans,
bread and chitterlings" that we put
away during the winter will be
sticking their ugly heads out for
everybody to see. We will be tor
tured by the backward look,
which is a look that most of us
could do without, to say the least
We were saved from the "gird-
ling bit" during the cold months,
with the protection of overcoats
and walking suits. Natures store
house of Nutrients" will be show
ing all over the place and the hot
sun does it's part to make mat
tiers beyond control. Waist nippers
can do just so much because they
only serve to replace or shift the
bothersome bulge.
We have been. reading about. all
of the quick diets and appetite
takers in every newspaper and
magazine that we see that is sup
pose to "melt the excess lard", but
the only sure method that we can
use to "battle the bulge" is to
push back from the goodies. I
know the advertisers will not agree
with me but l know how hard it is
to slim down once you have acquir-
ed large amount of "unmovable
mass. To make US girls feel
worse, I have been informed that
the new first lady is setting the
pace in styles and she wears a
size seven (O (WHEW) Now how
will walking oil sausage look in
a style that is made for someone
who wears a size seven? Well, I
will let you decide that. Besides,
the colors for Spring will be real
loud, with puppies and colds lead
ing the list. These loud colors will
also emphasize the fact "that we
should have something to hide"
The only advice that l can give you
is to start right at this moment to
shave off as much of that "loose
load" while the weather is still
cold. Even now it's a little late to
do a good job. Well girls, I'll see
you next week when hope that I

Social Security
Meets 0nIyH
Of Living Cost

Social security payments to the
average retired couple cover about
half of what is needed for "mod-
est but adequate" level of living
in the average American city.
The Labor Depths Bureau of
Labor Statistics reports that bud
getary needs in 20 cities for a
retired couple, both 65 or older
range from a low of $2,641 in
Houston, Tex, to a high of 1896
in Chicago. The overall average
is $3,042 year.
The absolute maximum social Sc
curity payments for a man and
his wife, both of whom worked
and earned top salaries, is $240
a month or $3.50, which would
barely cover the Labor Dept. bud
get. However, full payments of
this kind are in a minority.
The average payment for a re-
tired man and wife as of June
1860 was 1923 a month, or $1,476
less than half of the overall av-
erage budgetary needs.
A man with full social security
credits plus an allowance for a
wife who has no social security
credits would bring a maximum
$3.50 a month, or s2,160, consider
able below the BIS budget.
Normal Living
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said that its budget was not a
minimum subsistence" budget
but one based on "the cost of
healthful, self-respecting manner
of living which allows normal par
ticipation in community life"
1t assumes that the couple is in
reasonably good health, that they
live alone in a two or three-room
rental dwelling, that the home is
equipped with a gas or electric
cook stove, a mechanical refrig-
orator and small electrical appli-
ances, that the wife does all of the
cooking and most of the cleaning
and laundry and that most of the
income of the retired family is tax
exempt because of its source or is
not enough to require tax pay
ments.
The cost Of rent, heat and utili-
ties, which represent slightly more
than one-fourth of the total
ranged from S595 in Scranton, Pa.
to $1,067 in Chicago.
Food and beverages accounted
for about 90 percent Of the budget
and was lowest for cities in the
South and highest for those in
the Northeast, Pittsburgh was at
the top, with food costs Of 1855
q year.
Clothing, housefurnishings, med
ical care, transportation and sim
liar services ran from $1,174 in
Atlanta, Ga. to $1410 in Chicago.
They represented AZ percent Of the
budget. Variation in medical costs
was considerable among the 20
cities with an overall difference Of
$144 between the lowest, Scranton
at $222 . year, and the highest,
Los Angeles, at 1856 . year.
Transportation costs, ranging
from $133 to $195 . year, were
lowest in Philadelphia, New York
and Boston, where public transpor-
tation il used more frequently than
private automobiles.

Mr.. and Mrs. Bibbs married and
started farming on their own 81
years ago. They borrowed the
money to make the down-payment
on hilly, rundown 160-acre farm
that kept them up against it. try
ing to make ends meet for Is
years.
Finally in 1915 they sold this
farm for So an acre, and paid down
on the 253 acres they now own.
"At first things didn't look much
better" says Mr.. Bibbs. The land
was in poor condition and flooded
every time it rained.
The first year they made only
nine bales Of cotton, which hardly
brought enough to meet the note,
because it rained q lot and grass
choked out their crop. But they
had learned two lessons: (1) not to
count on cotton alone, and (2)
that rain sure makes grass grow.
Their record Of achievement in
1860 was based on those 2 lessons,
plus the adoption Of sound soil and
water conservation practices. While
the Bibbs raised 45 bales Of cotton,
they also produced $500 bushels
Of corn, IS bushels Of truck crops,
and $4,000 gallons Of Grade A
milk.
They have been-in dairying since
1916, taking advantage Of rain and
grass to develop good pastures,
