BY JOHN STICK

A check with agricultural OBJ
servers here Thursday morning
indicates that crop damage from
the heavy rains will not be eX-
cesSive, and that the corn and
hay crops will be helpfully adj
vanced.
The worst damage has been
done to file cured tobacco,
which has been drowned in
spots, and to beaten down
small grains. Heavy water run
off carrying top soil with it and
outlying fields will also set farm
ers back.
1t is too late to replant to-
bacco and those p ! a n t s killed
from excessive moisture and rot
ting roots will just be a farm
loss. Where drowning occurred.
it was generally confined to low
ground portions OF tobacco tleldS.
Quick Recovery
All the observers agree that the
cloud cover and moderate tenn
peratures since the rains ended
Monday have been a big factor
in the farm recovery. A bright
sun and severe heat could have
had harmful baking effects.
j. William Huntington. presi-
dent of Huntington Tobacco
Company. said inspection visits
to tobacco farms in this area in
dictate that mot very much dam
age was done" and that the
crop was not hurt much. There
was some drowning of tobacco.

Mother Defeats
Ransom Try Of
Runaway Son

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 9
(AP) "A 14-year-old imitation
Indian called Little Deer went
back to the reservation today,
handcuffed to the mother he
insisted he has never seen be-
fore.
The renegade-name of John
Manual Tamayor-tripped him
self up when he wrote a $40, 900
ransom note to his mother, Mrs.
Angelina M. Nieto, 80. of Kill
leen, Tex.
The note said her son had
been kidnapped and she should
send the money to a Houston
address in monthly INSTALL
ments.
The note was signed Little
Deer.
That's him all right" Mrs.
Nieto said when she saw Little
Deer in the Houston juvenile
ward yesterday.
II have never seen this lady
before in my life" Little Deer
said cody. But I would like to
meet you, though, lady"
Little Deer was taken into
custody Thursday night after
Mrs. Nieto told Houston Of

on Senate permission and a
faster House pace. Legislators
concede this might take a bit
Of doing.
Neither branch can be out of
session more than three days at
a time without consent of the
other. If House and Senate
completed work this week on
legislative business the Demo-
cratic leadership wants, the
House could adjourn until next
January with Senate consent.
Senators then could stay on as
long as they wished to debate
changes in their rules.
Congressional leaders note,
however, that the prospect for
q House respite might have been
dimmed by its own refusal to
meet last Friday and yesterday,
an arrangement for no roll call
votes until Wednesday, and a
Democratic leadership decision
not to bring up the final supple
mental appropriation bill until
Friday.
The House on Tuesday will
debate a $3.6 billion public
works appropriation bill, in
Guiding $2.3 billion for the
Atomic Energy Commission.
That is the last regular govern
mental appropriation bill for
the 1862 fiscal year.
But in order to go home next
Saturday the House would have
to act also on the foreign aid
and District appropriation bills
not yet passed by the Senate
and on two other money bills
still in Senate House confer
ence.
Bills for statutory establish
ment of the Peace Corps and
for extension of school aid pro-
grams for impacted areas and
NDEA student loans are among
other measures awaiting pas
sage by House or Senate. A
last-minute entry is the postal
rate increase bill on which the
House Rules Committee has
scheduled a hearing this week.
Congress has demonstrated
in years past that even such a
heavy program as this could be
disposed of in a week if ad-
journment pressure grew too
intense and inSiStent. There
were reliable signs yesterday
that leaders believe it might be
done this week as far as the
House is concerned.

members was evident last week

DONNA SAYS
CRITICISM
SAVED SHOW

AVH me as sort of a
feminine Milton
Berle since we added so
much comedy to the show.
That's what Donna Reed
says of her four childrens
reactions to her ABC-TV
Thursday evening series,
now in its fourth season.
1t wasn't always thus. In
fact, the show once was nick
named The Madonna Reed
Show" and critics COM
planned that mo mother can
be this perfect.
Then the scripts were given
a change of pace Donna, an
Oscar-winning movie star
who never had been allowed
to do comedy, suddenly
turned comedienne while
playing her role as wife of
a pediatrician and mother of
two in a small town.
(In real life, Donna is
married to Tony Owen, pro-
ducer of her show)
When her series first went
on the air four years ago, 80
per cent of the nations TV
critics raped it, but Donna
refused to quit.
I'VE owe the critics a lot, "
she says. IF they hadn't
been SO rough on US, we
might have become SNUG. AS
it was, we had nowhere to
go but up"
Today, her series is one
of the most popular shows
on the air.

are overestimating this girls
appeal, and overlooking the

If she has been out with
so many boys in your school,
it seems fairly obvious that
she cannot hold any ONE
boy very long. I suspect that
is why she makes a game
Of taking other girls boy
friends-it gives her ego a
much-needed boost.
Actually, an intelligent,
self-confident girl would not
Stoop to such tactics because
she would know that al
though boy friends are de-
sirable, q girl needs girl
friends, too, to get along well

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
In most schools there Is
sort Of an "unwritten"
ladies' agreement not to
horn in on another girls
boy friend. This is not the
case in our school any
more. Two years ago a
small, sweet (appearing)
girl came here. In her
two years here 1 think she
has managed to 60 out
with just about every dat
able boy in the school. If
It were just a case Of dat
ing IL would be Okay, but
she seems to get a lot OF
satisfaction out Of steal
ing other girls boy friends.
She not only dates seniors
(she IL q senior but under
classmen, too. After watch
ing her we have found out
that she has perfected the
"heIpless" routine and the
boys fall for it! One of
her pet tricks is to say
something like this to a
girl whose boy friend she
has just taken, WAS Jack
very pOssessive about you?

going to do with him."

Just one thing-he is not in

words, the kiss, or kisses,
meant nothing to him even

cult for your mother since
she has the added response

I doubt that Mother has
turned against you" You
see, on top of her deep sense
of loss she may feel bewil-
dered and even somewhat
frightened at the sudden re-
sponsibility of raising and
supporting (singlehandedly)
two growing youngsters.
My advice is to be patient
with her. No doubt she has
cried many nights, too, with

So try to be understanding
and make allowances for her

you possibly can. Best wishes.
