Lobbyists Reach 336,
fillmore Than Year Aoo

The third house of Con-
gresS" was buster than ever in
1861, as 1856 lobbyists, Ill more
than in 1860, registered with
the clerk of the House and
the secretary of the Senate.
The 1886 registering in 1861
brought the 16-year total of
lobbyists, who must register
under the Federal Regulation
of Lobbying Act of 1946, to
6,108. The average for a year
is 381; the highest total for
any year was 73l in 1947.
The total of 6,108 represents
many Implications because or
ganizations as we'll as indi-
viduals have registered more
than once since 1916. The total
includes organizations which
have ceased operations or have
merged. and includes persons
who have retired, moved or
died.
The actual number of lobby
registrations. as compiled by
Congressional Quarterly since
1916, is 4,332. OF the 1856 reg
iStrations in 1861, only 227 are
new registrations representing
166 persons, IA law or public
relation firms and At other or
CARNATIONS.
Among the registrants this
year was one lobbyist from
Stambaugh, Mich, who said he
was lobbying "for an open con-
gressional committee investiga-
ton to legally establish the fact
that there are thought and
nerve impulse tranmitters
which are also telecremators
and dncluding outer space)
teleportage devices. One step
in the process of uncovering
the thought and nerve impulse
transmitterS would be to in
vestigate psychiatry, "the sub
versive organization working
these transmitters."
A lobbyist from Los Angeles
said he was interested lin all
bills and measures to promote
a trillion dollar annual income
in the United States and to
totally abolish all unemploy-
ment and depression in the
United States of America" To
achieve the trillion dollar in
come, he said he would draft"
a trillion dollars annually of
individual and corporate buy
ing each January with equal
work and business guaranteed
on the FILA principle.
Seven ex-Congressmen reg
istered as lobbyists in 1861
four of them for the first time.

extra privilege as lobbyists:
They can go onto the floor of
the House Or Senate, wherever
they served.

They probably were back

For V. K. Krishna Menon,
India's Minister of Defense,

the Communist side. He has
a strange and unexplained
influence over Prime Minis

suaded Nehru that conquest
of Goa is important to In
dia'S prestige.
Poor Nehru! He said in a
speech Saturday that it was

countries like Britain and the
United States should have
been angry over Goa. Such

ROME. - In the seven
months this reporter has
been abroad a number of his
dispatches have dealt with
the subject of "how we look
from this side"
These interpretive reports
were based on conversations
with political leaders, eau
tious diplomats and editorial
writer's and extensive talks
with the man in the street
from German beer halls, Ital-
ian "trattorias" and French
"biStros."
1t can be safely said that
during these months Amer
ica's prestige has dropped at
least 10 points. From late
May to the middle of August
there was a genuine and sim
cere confidence in Americas
ability with the strong sup
port of reborn Europe not
only to hold the line against
Red Imperialism, but to
slowly push it back.
On his visit to Europe last
summer President Kennedy
impressed all with his youth
full vigor and his obvious sin
cerity. His apparent deter
mination to end the era of
h e 81 tionS which had
marked the policies of previ-
GUS administrations con-
vinced the Europeans that
henceforth the free West
would call a halt to the am
bitionS of the Kremlin die
tator. The economic and NOR
al strength of new Europe"
was going to be- placed at
the service of that great
project. There was de-
termination even among the
lesser NATO powers to do
their utmost to complete the
conventional forces to what
ever strength was required.
While some politicians were
still thinking in terms that
they might not have to go
all the way, there was a
strong feeling among the
people themselves that the
West was moving toward the
zenith and that the time had
come to put an end to Is
years of nightmares. The
economic strength was suf-
ficient to provide the means
for expanded military ex-
penditures. and there was
none who was not willing to
call Khrushchev's hand.
Mr.. Kennedy had spoken
sternly, and while he obvi-
ously desired a peaceful
settlement with the enemies
of freedom he appeared bent
on stopping once and for all
the previous hesitations and
kowtowing to the MuscoviteS.

Peace on Earth"-nearly
everybody wants it. Good
will toward men"-almost all
the peoples of the world feel
1t toward one another. Then
what's wrong? Why is war
threatened despite the in
nate desires of peoples?
These questions have never
been satisfactorily answered
since the Caesars of yeSter-
day marched out of their ma
tive lands to conquer other
lands. Nor have they been
answered in the dern
world of the Hitlers and the
Stains.
Illusions still perSiSt-that
somehow by personal confer
ences between monarchS or
heads of states utopia can
be achieved, or at least war
prevented. But these talks
have largely proved fruitlesS,
because the approach is to
an immoral dictatorship that
threatens its adversary from
a position of strength and be-
lieves he either will not fight
or has too much at stake
to risk a fight.
If one party has no lever
age when two sides "nego-
tiate," then the victory must
go always to the bully and
the buffer.
Today the concept that the
West can lead from strength
is discounted by the knowl-
edge in Moscow. for instance,
that the West is diSunited and
that America will not go it
alone" in a military sense.
The Russians doubtless feel
they do not need to attack
that they need only to
threaten, and eventually they
will have their way.

of military force by the West
that has caused the Commu-

RALPH McGILL
Watching Old Albert Repair Shoes
Left Lifelong Fondness for Material

A Christmas ad by the
leather industry contributed a
small voice to the chorus
which bids us note the proc
SeSses of change. The illus
trated ad was vending what
the old-fashioned call house
slippers. I'm leather, of
course" it said.
This was a reminder that
the rich, deep beauty of
leather, which was revealed
by the color advertisement,
could be today duplicated by
substitutes. The phrase lin
leather" was, in fact, a sort
OF confession that plastics
and compositions of various
sorts have moved competi-
lively into a field which, un-
til a short while ago was DOM
mated by leather.
Since Christmas is a time
for children, and for adult
meditation and reflection, I
found myself stirred by the
ad to reminiscence. When I
was a boy in a small city
in the foothills of East Ten
nessee, the shoe repair shop
for our neighborhood was
conducted by tall, dignified
Negro man named Albert,
whose graying hair revealed
his years. He had a way with
customers, especially boys
and girls. He unfailingly pre-
sented. with a flourish of for
mality, a short stick of pep
permint candy when the job
was completed and the
change paid. He talked in a
very sedate sort of manner
but had an astonishing range
of conversation subjects,
which would interest the
youngsters who came to him
with their shoes.
This ability was almost a
necessity as there usually
were two or three waiting.
Few Of us had more than one
pair of sh oeS. There were
some, of course, who had a
pair of Sunday shoes"
When they became a bit
Scuffed they were denoted to
everyday shoes and a new
pair bought for wear on the
Sabbath. But those who had
but one pair. of course, had
to sit and wait for the half
soles to be put on.
Albert kept a stack of old
newspapers by his work bench
and when a customer came,
and waited, a sheet of this
would be spread on the al
ways Uttered floor of his shop.
He swept it each evening, be-
fore going home. But since
each new sole had to be
trimmed. as did the heels,
new leather scraps and pieces
of the old soles which had to
be removed soon were scat
tered about.
There were, of course, no
ready made soles or heels.
Albert cut his own from a
large section of leather. The
customers shoes would be put
down on it and a pencil
marked about the sole. This
was then cut out with a Won
derful knife, which each boy
coveted.
There was a status system
among the customers. A num-
ber of Albert's customers
from the more well to = do
families in the neighborhood
had their new SoleS Sewed on.
They were the aristocrats of
the shop. 1t took a long while
to sew on soles. Albert first
had to make the many small
holes in the sole with a shoe
repairer's aWl.
The ad reminded me that
it had been a long time since
l had even thought of an
aWl, much less seen one. The
holes were made very close
together. We liked to watch
Albert do this work. He did
most of it between the nail
on jobs, which could be done
rather quickly.
The heavy thread he used
was carefully, and repeatedly,
pulled through a lump of
dark, aromatic beeswax which
Albert kept on his bench.
When he pulled the threads

Sweetheart Bread Is
A Bakers Dream
continued from page one)

The dough doesn't go through
the usual first rising. Instead wa
ter. yeast, yeast food, milk solids,
salt, sugar and enrichment are
pumped into stainless steel tanks
and constantly agitated by pump
ing and aeration for a 2h hour
fermentation period under con-
slant temperature control.
The broth is then pumped to
PREMIER where the flour and
shortening is added, then to a de-
veloper for the final mixing be-
fore the dough is dropped into
pans with extreme accuracy in
weight and shape. 1t theIi goes to
the proof box for a final rise OF
the dough and then to the oven.
The continuous mixing and con-
tinuous flow of ingredients, Mr..
Rayner said, eliminates making Of
bread in patches and provides a
steady production of controlled
quality. The machine mixes $500
pounds of dough an hour. In four
hours and fifty minutes dough has
been mixed, baked, cooled, sliced
and wrapped for delivery.
The machine and it's four broth
tanks, built of stainless steel and
corrected by stainless steel pipes,
was developed by Bakers Process
Company, a subsidiary of Wallace
and Herman Company. 1t has
been under development for many
years and a number of them are
| in operation in large bakeries.

has the most delicious flavor.
