Should Youngsters Run In
Packs Thru Streets?

In a talk before a youth meeting two years ago
in Minneapolis an Urban League official much Of
whose work is with young people, made criticism
which caused some uplifting of eyebrows by both
youngsters and their parents.
The criticism that there peculiar dis
position upon the part Of Negro teen-agers in this
to run in packs" He pointed out that whereas
the white teen-agers he observed moved along the
streets from school to home and back in twos and
threes the Negro youngsters could be seen in the
dozens moving along the public streets together
1t was his contention that the concentration of
too large numbers of young people on the streets
often caused disorder Embellishments horse
play participated in by so many of the youngsters
that it became an undesirable public spectacle.
Parents of each of the Twin City communities
have had this condition called to their attention by
social workers, ministers and others Some of them
insist that their children not in the admittedly
popular packs" and others resent the idea that
their children should be criticised at all.
One of the old common sayings still current In
the more primitive of American Negro life Is:
Talk loud and draw a crowd" It is derisive say
ing which is applied to the 'show-offs young old
who often will be found at the center of the crowd
and often cause confusion, and bad public conduct.
A Minneapolis mother who has two children
reported recently that she had to quit allowing her
two attractive teen-agers to have parties because
the youngsters invited would all leave the parties
at the time, and congregate with loud voices
and yes in the streets causing protests from neigh
bors who had to punch the time clocks their jobs
the next day This mother is disturbed many
others are that this large groupings of youngsters
especially in the streets is bad for the community
and usually is the source of some delinquency.

Letters To The Editor

is a vicious thing, but the sales
tax would cost the small wage
Garner a great deal more, and it Is
obvious that this is just a little
sugar coating for what the Re-
pubIcans are planning to do to us.
The wage Garner with the chill
dren earning $4,000 a year and
having deductions for taxes, inter-
est, contributions ETC., Of $500, pays
the $40 head tax. If this were with
drawn and a 2 per cent sales tax
substituted, the picture would look
something like this:
Income, $4,000; Expenditures not
subject to sales tax Trent, some
services etc., $1,000; Income sub
ject to sales tax flood, fuel, cloth
ing, etc., $4,000; Sales tax at 20,
$40; Sales tax at 80, $50.
In addition, some of those Eek
empt" expenditures will quickly
start to reflect the sales tax. Rents,
for example, will inevitably reflect
the cost of the tax to the landlord
They are talking about 20, but ii
they get away with this it will
soon become 80.
AS you pointed out editorially
the whole object is to shift govern
ment costs from those who now
pay them to others. Now you
know who the others will be. Gov.
ernor Andersen should not try tc
mislead us. - Fair Play, st. Paul

The Republicans Can Have
Them

An interesting study in how you can make
statistics strange and irrelevant purposes is
found in recent newspaper column by Roscoe
Drummond.
Mr.. Drummond has looked at the votes for
Congress and discovered that while the Republicans
collected AZ per cent Of the Congressional vote they
tives and he calls this 1.-THE scandal Of the 1862
elections.
But he should have looked q little more closely
at his own figures. Outside Of California and Con-
nectcut (48 and 46 per cent Of the vote "a and IT
per cent Of the successful candidates) all Of the
states he cites in the south border regions,
where the one party system has operated for years
to produce Representatives who organize in the
House as Democrats and vote with the Republicans.
Many southerners vote Republican, but in the past
their votes have been showed under.
This has been the real scandal. The interesting
and vital point which Drummond overlooked is that
this system is breaking up and the South is moving
toward a system where the voters will have some
gladly give the Republicans their fair share of the
kind Of politicians the South has been sending to
Congress, under either the Republican the Demo-
cratic label. Indeed they welcome the breakup OF
the party system in the south that has operated
part of the system Of repression and vote-denial
for the purpose Of preserving political reaction.
1t is naive, to say the least, for any observer OF
the American to In this system now break
ing up anything more than what 1t is, or to apply
the resulting statistics to the entire country in sup
port Of the theory Of political mbalance that does
not exist.

THINKS GOVERNOR FINDS
IT PAINFUL TO DEFEND
TAX COMMITTEE PROPOSALS

Editor: I was most interested to
read Governor Andersen's letter in
your paper on the recommended
tons of his tax study committee.
From the tenor of it, I suspect
that he finds it as painful to de-
fend the committee as I do to read
his defense, because Governor An
dersen is an honorable and sincere
man.
His apology, that the committee
has proposed to relieve the small
wage Garner of the head tax of $40
as an offsetting advantage to levy
ing a sales tax, does not hold
water. I agree that the head tax

This leadership was both econ
omic and military. US. News and
World Reports Of April II, 194T
reported, The United States is
forced to take over the main part
of the job of world policeman" 1t
went on to add that the Pacific Is
now a us. lake; the Atlantic IL
undisputed us. British territory;
the Mediterranean is dominated by
Anglo-American fleets; and the In
dian Ocean Is to be held firmly In
British hands, even after India is
given up. The United States was
also the sole possessor Of nuclear
weapons. The future looked bright
indeed.
Things now have changed. -Four
nations United States, Russia,
England, and France - have nu-
clear weapons. Prosperity because
of us. aid has caused our allies
to think Independently. France es-
pecially seriously challenges the
role Of the United States as world
policeman" Dean Acheson's crit
icism of England as a world power
and the efforts on the part of the
United States to force Canada to
accept nuclear weapons that the
United States would control are
attempts to regain this dominant
role.
A m eri C n economic interests
have lost Cuba and guerrilas are a
constant danger to many other
Latin American countries. Our re-
action to Cuba is not met with
wholehearted approval by our al
lies. Leslie Dewart, Member of the
Department of Philosophy of St.
Michaers College, University Of
Toronto in Canada, writes in the
Feb. 8 issue Of The Nation:
1T had never been a secret that
the Cuban policy of the United
States had not met with the ap-
prevail of her NATO allies. Even
Canada, where popular sympathies
most faithfully reflect American
opinion, remained not consulted
(about the United States reaction
to the missile buildup in Cuba;)
and naturally so, for there would
have been no point for consulta-
tons.
mot a single NATO country
backed the blockade; the vague re-
assurances Of friendship received
by Washington carefully avoided
any commitment Of any sort.
Even the o. A. S. extended its
verbal comfort formulas that fell
short of those requested. For the
first time since the inception of
the cold war, the United States
faced Russia during major crisis
alone"
It is evident that the United
States is not in the position Of
strength it was in Immediately
after World War II. What would
be the best method to recapture
this position Of dominance? The
method used by the United States
is to take advantage of its position
of being the primary nuclear power
in the world.
The United States wishes to
control the defenses of the Western
World by having control of the
nuclear deterrent Of the Western
World. If Europe can be convinced
of the possibility Of Russian armies
overrunning Europe at any time,
and the United States controlled
the nuclear deterrent, one can see
the position of dominance the
United States will have.

CORN SILAGE and alfalfa hay
are the basis of good livestock
feeding programs here In Kent
county. interest is high on both
of these crops at the present
time.
Silage is the best form TO
use drouth damaged corn. And
If a farmer Is short of hay,
he can balance out his rough
age needs for livestock with
silage. Most people agree there
is no better silage than corn.
Some folks feed 1909 silage
as their roughage. Bur most
people prefer to see the cows
get 5 TO 8 lbs. of hay per day
as a minimum, and give the
COWS all the silage they will
clean up.
We are taking yield figures
on Jim Mitchell's corn demon
stration plot near Smyrna. Last
year several varieties produced
better than 20 tons of corn per
acre. We suggest that you look
at the plots now. The % var
teties used are all marked with
signs. Fertilizer treatments are
easily seen. The corn is quite
yellowish where no fertilizer
was used. The heaviest appli-
cations are still ''pizon" "green.
Several local fertilizer COM
panies are offering guaranteed
stands" of alfalfa and our plan
ted acreage may double this fall
as a result. This simply means
that people are confident we
can get good stands If all the
necessary steps of land prep
aration, seeding and feruliza-
tion are followed.

MORE AND MORE FARM
ERS are asking questions about
high level grain feeding of dairy
COWS. Will it work7 What pro-
blems arise2 VIII 1t boost pro-
fits2 What about low producers2
During recent years a lot of
work has been done by expert
ment stations to find the an
swers to these questions. Re-
search shows that most cows
do respond to high level feed
ing. They will give more milk,
but not all COWS respond at a
profitable level.
Morrison's Standards and
DHIA recommendations are still
satisfactory guides for grain
feeding. To safely go beyond
these levels requires close
management practices. Dairy
men who fed heavily during the
first few months of lactation
have been more successful with
high level grain feeding. You
must watch closely the relation
ship between grain consumption
and milk production.
When additional grain fails
to produce an increase In milk
production, cut back on the a
mount fed.
High-level grain feeding Is
practical with only the best
cows In the herd. In most herds,
from rs to so per cent of the
cows can be profitably fed high
levels of grain.
In regard to herd health, no
problems have as yet been en-
countered with high-level grain
feeding. If any single statement
sums up the role of the feeding
practice discussed today, it's
this: High-level grain feeding
has proven to be sound as long
as 1t Is conducted under good
m nagement.

crop is expected this fall. This
is 6 per cent more than last
year and 9 per cent above aver
age. Even with this increase
a favorable price for corn can
be expected and this is a very
small reserve. A large crop Is
expected, seven per cent more
than last year, but with domes-
dc and export demands grow
ing each year, a strong mar
ket is expected throughout the
rest of 1868 and until the 1864
crop is harvested.
