Effort to Speed Work

This appeared to be part of
an effort to speed up work of
the Council. A number of the
2,400 Council fathers have ex-
pressed the opinion that the
gathering-at its present pace
could last more than two
years. On Saturday, the pre-
siding committee of the Council
implored the fathers to be
briefer in their speeches.
Liturgy is the first topic on
the Council agenda, and the
prelates have spent a week on
it, with the end not in sight.
Today the Council took up
debate on the eucharist, the
subject of the second chapter
in the eight-chapter proposed
constitution on liturgy?
A communique after today's
session pointed up "the delib-
crate slowness that has marked

'Lupp Warns Of
Atomic Threat

MINNEAPOLIS pad - Stock
piles of nuclear weapons have reached
the stage where there is now the
equivalent of six tons of TINT for
every person ON the planet, DIR. Ralph
Lapp, noted scientific authority and
writer, told the recent convention
here of the United clearinghouse
Workers.
Presented ito the convention as one
of the persons best fitted for inter
preting ito union delegates the sig
nificance of recent scientific adj
vances, Lapp won dramatic attention
as he outlined developments in the
nuclear and space fields.
Society is in an awful contest with
SCIENCE" Lapp said. In an age of pos
sible massive instant retaliation, ode
Disseminating" gets carried to "the
edge of peril'' he asserted, and peace
is maintained through mutual ter
ror." The problem will be even more
complicated when and if Red China
develops its own nuclear weapons.
Lapp voiced belief that while the
". y. lcStuS OONl0C HuSSld LII space SCl-
ence, Russia still leads in space ''tech-
nology." That leading position devel-
oped, he suggested, from the "most
successful mistake in our genera
tion'' That mistake, he said, was the
Soviet scientists guess that a ''mon-
strous. oversize rocket" would be
needed to carry an intercontinental
H-bomb weapon. When they found |
they had more thrust power than the
weapon required, they turned, about
1866, to using the rocket for space
exploration.
DR.. Lapp voiced personal 'non-
beliefs that other life sys-
TENS exist in the universe. He pre-
dicted that we may be able to make
contact with these
systems before many years, and Of
fered an hypothesis that the life sys-
TENS which we will be able to contact
will be of more advanced, more in ,
telligent nature than our own.
Pointing out that communications
may be possible with such life systems
80 light years distant from this earth,
DR.. Lapp told the clearinghouse
Workers that a question sent out into
space may take 100 years of elapsed

How can a farm afford
the special services it needs?

Farming :. like any other industry -.
needs the efficiencies and economies OF
specialized departments.
The farm business needs sales de-
partment and purchasing department
someone to counsel on insurance
and credit and many more depart
ments to work out important problems.
II 1t weren't for cooperatives, most
farmers couldn't afford these special
lied services. Purchasing cooperatives
supply materials and products of high
est quality at lowest possible cost. Mar
keting cooperatives help improve the
quality of produce and sell it at the
most favorable prices. Mutual iTsur-
ance companies provide protection at
lowest cost. Credit associations lend
money for farm operations.
These cooperatives make farming
more business-like and more profitable.

DEVOTE WARNED OF

Historian Bernard de Vote warned
about the attempt to sell the public
domain for song in an article in
Harper's Magazine, May, 1853. At
the time of the great off-shore oil
controversy De Vote wrote that he
was afraid 'tthat the tidelands action
would establish the pattern for the
greatest giveaway program in the
history of the world" He pointed
out that for years powerful pressure
groups "have been attempting to raid
various parts of the public domain"
He said the stockmen were carrying
the ball for more subtle groups be-
hind them who have an eye on timber,
power sites. oil and what-have-you

wherever the carcass is, there the

STURGIS, S.D.-South Da-
kota's two most ardent pro-
ponents of an amendment to
the federal Constitution that
would repeal the graduated net
income tax and put the gov
eminent out of business" by
selling t h e public domain
(worth about a trillion dollars not
including Alaska) for a few cents
an acre and hquidating over 700
government departments and agen-
cies were defeated for legislative
posts in the recent COP primary.
Edgar (Slim) Gardner, long mem
Der of the lower house from the West
River, Harding and Butte counties,
and Joe Trotter, former legislator
and candidate for the state Senate
from West River, Shannon, Fall River
and Custer counties got rundown
from their fellow Republicans which
may be significant, as the defeated
candidates have been pushing the
23rd Amendment (now called 24th
or "Liberty'') since it's inception.
PRESIDENT OF TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION
Gardner and Trotter introduced
the amendment in the SD. Legisla- |
ture in 1859, and in 1861 both men
promoted it again when the House
ratified it and the state Senate let |
il die on the shelf Trotter is state
president of the South Dakota Tax

cent annual convention of the Stock
growers Association both the Bureau
and the Taxpayers Association had
cars or floats in the parade.
WHAT AMENDMENT
WOULD DO
In addition to peddling the lands
of the public domain within a three
year period to help get the govern
ment out of business the amendment
would iquidate all public power
plants and lines.
1t would bring ruin to small and
some not-so-small farmers and ranch
ers by wiping out the last vestiges
of the farm program: it would do
away with the REA, IVA, Social
Security, Credit Unions, Production
Credit, Veterans Administration,
Postal Savings, Parcel Post, the
County Agents, All Clubs, Extension
Service and the whole Department
of Agriculture. The amendment
would insure a new and devastating
economic crisis by selling the Com
modify Credit Corporation and it's
grain stocks and it would leave no
federal machinery to deal with recess
sions, depressions or relief.
1t would put the public at the
mercy of the big trusts and monop-
olies in the name of free enterprise
by making more than 700 federal
agencies and governmental depart
ments a thing of the past.
The proponents of the amendment
say that all the 700 agencies they
name are in fact already illegal and
unconstitutional The amendment |
would make them doubly illegal.
ONE OF BIRCH SOCIETY's
MAIN PLANKS
Not only is the amendment one of
he main planks of the John Birch
Society platform it is the common OBJ
ective of most of the so-called Fright
st" or EXTREMIST organizations like

many others. Many members of the
ohm Birch Society are on the gov
rning boards of other extremist
most of them interlocking at
he top with one another.
The amendment has been rati-
fled by Texas, Louisiana, Nevada
and Wyoming. John Birch member
Dan Hanson, of Kaycee, Wyoming,

National Committee for Economic
Freedom got the credit for engi-
neering it through the Wyoming

FIRST THINGS FIRST
IN ITS SEARCH to bring the fullest possible measure
Of ef-government to the Virgin Islands, the Administration
in Washington is approaching the matter from many angles.
First it has to- overcome geography Second, it has to face
the prospect Of revolt BY southern Congressman. Third, it has
to decide which Of its proposals stand the best possibility Of
passage at this session Of Congress, and thus avoid tying up
all aspects of the matter.
THE ADMINISTRATION thought in terms Of connect
ingu Us with Guam andthus avoid a fight by those Congressman
VINO favored Guam. For us, that would be acceptable, at least
for the time being, purely on a basis of expediency. At this
stage Of the game it would not seem wise to decline whatever
advantages there may be for greater selfgoyernment simplybe
cause the method may not be to our liking. Furthermore, #
Guam is entitled to its share, then nothing should be done to
adversely affect il.
was the question Of trying to link us with
the District Of Columbia for representation purposes. That
should be dropped for the moment, at least Everyone who
has read the papers, or is awareo of what is taking place knows
that the District Of Columbia does not have home rule be-
cause of one simple fact-the majority of the population IS
Negro, and that would mean that the vote would place too
many people of color in responsible positions in an elected
city government. That the s%outherners could not tolerate
THE SECOND phase of that question is how come SO many
s~outherners control 50 much. Again the answer is simple arith-
metic. Congressman get on committees because OF their Sc
niority. S~outherners have greater seniority because once elect
ed they remain in Congress for long uninterrupted periods
their constituents returning them year after year. The South
is largely democratic, and until very recently, the tenn solid
south meant only one thing, and that was a democratic vote
SO, then, With their seniority in Congress southerners get on
committees, and among these committees is the District Com
mitee, which literally runs the District Of Columbia That
Committee VIII never tolerate any legislation which even
tends to come near self-ruIe, and there the merrygo-romd
continues.
