1t has been the general consensus Of members Of the

done to relieve the h~ardships suffered by these public as

THESE ISLANDS must work for what they want, and
the way to start is to let the Congress and the President Of
the United States know what that is. And how is this done?
Usually it is not enough to put a paid political advertisement
in the mainland newspapers. That, yes, gives information.
But that is not enough, for mere knowledge may be just a
little bit better than Water running off a ducks back. What
is necessary is that the situation be brought home forcibly
to those who can and will do something about it.
WE IN THESE Islands can do many things to try to
get our point across. One Of these is through contact on the
mainland. Another is by direct contact, right from the citi-
zens themselves. Each and every adult citizen in these Is
lands should write two etters-one to the President, the 9th
CT to a designated Congressman. Certainly fourteen IA ct is
not too much to give to the Island we love and cherish. Ger
tainly five () minutes is not too much in time to sacrifice tc
tel them what we want.
THE SENATE SHOULD take the lead in this connection.
act as a wonderful kickoff and inspirational ~backdrop|
against which to promote such a project. Volunteers should
90 among the people, making personal contacts, and encoW-
aging them to write. The name of the Congressman, or Con
gressmen, and their addresses should Be made available, SO
that nothing be wasted. Finally, a deadline should be set.
WITH PROPER plans, carried out carefully, a great
letter-writing project should be directed to requesting a ma
tive for Governor. Thousands Of these letters should flood
the mails, and the proper people should receive so many of
them that there could be no installing what we have in
mind This project should get under way soon--very soon.

Just Who Is Being Subsidized?

money buys commodities which
in turn are sold: even though
sold at less than cost. the losses
thereby are cut. One program
where there has been little, if
any, loss is the hurley tobacco
support program.
It would be very difficult to
find segment Of the economy
that does not receive some bene-
fits from subsidies. Farm Subsidi-
es arose from an apparent feel
ing Of Congress. farm leaders
and farmers that agriculture
differs in its basic nature
from other industries and that
these differences place agricul-
ture at a disadvantage in its
business operations
These differences include such
actors as the large rumber Of
-armers; small size OF farm
businesses; ease of entry into
farming; lack of control over
otal output; the nature of the
products produced: privately fin
anced enterprise family and
own labor supply: no CO. troll
over prices: and the fact that
farmers are dealing with or
ganized groups which can set
prices.
The general public. through
seemingly very conscious Of farm
programs, is little aware OF the
many other subsidies in the non
farm sector of the economy.

with charcoal briquets will warm
things up in a hurry. Place some

Rubuut Hits
Charge by
Wreckers

Representative Rabaut, Dem
ocrat of Michigan, denied today
that Hayden CARRIER, counsel
for the House District Com
mittee. had talked to him about
getting a permit to burn ma
terial for a wrecking company.
Prentice Edrington, an attor-
ney for four wrecking COM
panies, charged yesterday at a
hearing before the District
Commissioners that Mr.. CARRIER
had been instrumental in per-
suading Mr.. Rabaut to help
get a permit for the Liberty
Wrecking & Building Materials
Co.
That's about as cockeyed as
some of the other stories these
wreckers have been telling" 4"
Mr.. Rabaut declared. CARRIER
didn't contact me on this. If
I know him at all, it is only by
sight"
Cites Health Hazard
Mr.. Rabaut said his only rea-
son for calling District officials
to find out why Liberty had
not been issued a permit to
burn was that he was con-
cerned about the public health
hazard in hauling contaminted
lumber through the streets.
Liberty was granted a per-
NIT by the District government
to burn combustible materials
at a Northeast site it was clear
ing for the Redevelopment
Land Agency after the District
Public Health Department
ruled that the buildings were
contaminated.
! Mr.. CARRIER flatly denied yes
terday that he had anything
to do with Liberty's obtaining
the permit to burn.
Admits Assumption"
Mr.. Edrington, when in
formed that Mr.. Rabaut had
denied that Mr.. CARRIER dis
cussed the permit question with
him, said his charge was based
on an assumption.
"We knew" Mr.. Edrington
said, that CARRIER had talked
to Mr.. (John) Searles (RLA
director) on behalf of Liberty
on another matter. Therefore,
we assumed that CARRIER must
have been the entry to get to
Rabaut.
Il am willing to concede that
was an assumption"
Mr.. CARRIER has said he did
talk to RIA officials more
than a year ago about another
matter involving Liberty, but
that he had done so las a mat
ter of simple equity"

Ing Cne question OF whether TWO
statues located on First street
at the eastern end of the Mall
constitute a traffic hazard.
The statues, both placed in cir
cles in the late 1800s, honor
Peace" and Mr.. Garfield.
But as Mr.. Whitener pointed
out during a hearing on the
problem today, motorists hardly
have time to pay quiet respect
to either memorial. They are,
instead fighting for their lives
in traffic or deciding whether
or not to follow the streetcars
which continue to circle each
statue on the wrong side.
Highway and police officials,
carefully avoiding any stand on
whether the statues should be
moved, told Mr.. Whitener the
Streetcars would soon be gone
for all time and perhaps they
would be followed with some
traffic islands and road mark
ingS to improve the situation.
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke said that some
traffic circles in town actually
help the flow of traffic but did
agree that Peace" and Gar
field do constitute a serious
problem"
He pointed out that it is
expensive to move statues and
estimated that to take Garfield
and place it somewhere else
would cost about $65,000 He
said the statue of Peace" was
more complex and might cost
at least 100000 to remove and
replace.

Dream Come True

social worker her wedding pic
ture the first time they met.
Her distress at her shattered
marriage has made the burden
doubly hard for the children to
bear.
Their parents have been sep

fathers heavy drinking and
chronic unemployment slowly
poisoned the marriage.
Jennie, who is II, and her
five brothers and sisters see
their father occasionally, as
does their mother.
But the chances are slim the
family ever will be reunited,
although their mother can't
admit to herself that this is so.
On relief, the mother and
children live in a dingy apart
ment so sparsely furnished
there aren't enough chairs to
go around. Those they have
are badly battered.
Jennie and her brothers and
sisters don't know what it
means to live in home with
happiness to spare.
To them, the world is a
scarey place where even modest
dreams don't come true.
But at least one dream can
come true this summer for four
of the youngsters if money is
