The clearing Of Leipsic River
and the work of cutting canals
10 give more direct waterway
TO the sea is progressing rap
idly. The Richards Company has
the contract and is proceeding
with Dredge No. 4, under COM
mand of Captain Joseph Wilson.
Captain Wilson has commenced
dredging the canal through the
farm of Wilbur Rawley and
will continue opening the river
up to Garrison's Millson State
Road. This stream will then
have a depth of six feet on low
water and a fund of SIS, 900
annually, or so much thereof
as may be needed is thereon
provided for maintenance of
channel. The Improvement is to
be completed by August |, In
ample time for the handling and
shipment of tomatoes. The ap-
preparation for the work is
$lo, 900. Title has just been sue
ured for TWO more canals be-
tween Leipsic and the bay.
These make total of six can
ais which have been used to
make direct the tortuous
stream. Instead of a winding
channel of sixteen miles, twill
now be a much more direct
waterway of eleven miles. This
work has been economically
prosecuted. Instead of spending
the first appropriation of $l8,-
500 over So, 900 has been saved.
The entire operations, including
the finishing touches will be
completed by October l. VIII
liam Shackell, who with other
citizens urged the opening to
this waterway, at first with
little hope of success, is now
getting a good share of credit
for a notable public improve
ment. Mr.. Shackell and WILL
lam D. Ennis Wednesday filed
with the Clerk of the Peace
the first petition for an i'm
proved road under the new Kent
county act. The petition prays
for a permanent road extend
ing from Leipsic to Cheswold,
A III miles, and contains the
names of the required owners,
as follows: John Carrow, A.

the homeowner, and he must
be prepared for them," Mr..
Mann said.
Income alone Is not the
only test, however.
Previous credit. stability Of
employment and other cur
rent financial obligations
play major parts in deter
mining approval or rejection
of a mortgage application.
For example, an excellent
credit background and stable
employment prospects might
tip the scales In favor of the
purchaser who has to use
more than 20 per cent Of his
income for the house pay
ment, Mr.. Mann said.
Each mortgage applicant Is
surrounded by his own spe-
cial circumstances and the
lending institution wants to
consider all Of these circum-
stances before making 9
decision.
The thing to remember,
Mr.. Mann said, is that the
lender and the buyer want
the same thing. The buyer
wants a home that can be
financed comfortably on his
income. The lender wants the
same arrangement.
"One can only conclude that
the only real rule Of thumb
In home financing" said Mr.
Mann, "is that no rule OF
thumb works in every case" "

To Hear Morris ToIk

When mother was q girl,
families figured they were on
firm ground If they budgeted
up to Is per cent Of monthly
income for house payments.
Another supposedly safe
rule of thumb was that a
house should not cost more
than two-ard-one-half times
yearly income.
The inference was that as
long as you were within the
limits set by these rules,
everything was In order.
But the rules Of thumb are
misleading, according to Will
liam F. Mann, vice president
of Strathmore Mortgage
Corp, the mortgage lender
for Levitt e. Sons, Inc,
builder of suburban Belair at
Bowie Md.
These days, most home
buyers are required to spend
q smaller percentage of their
monthly income on mortgage
payments than was spend by
their parents. Most lending
institutions, he said, now feel
only 20 per cent Of the home
buyers monthly income
should go toward the mort
gage payments.
There are several reasons
for the reduction. For one
thing, incomes generally have
gone up, and so q smaller
percentage is required. For
another, both lender and
buyer are facing the facts.
THE basic fallacy Of the
old rules is that they gen.
orally refer only to the
monthly payments, consisting
of mortgage principal and in
terest, taxes and fire and
mortgage insurance. Home
buyers also should consider
other standard housing ex-
penses as part Of their
monthly commitment" Mr..
Mann said.

US. TariffsUp
In Retaliation

President johnson has or
dered retatatory tariffs on the
European Common Market

port restrictions" on poultry
from the United States.
In q proclamation last night,
the President suspended con-
cessions under the most ia
vored nation trade treaty pro-
visions on brandy, trucks and
other products from the six
countries.
The additional tariffs or
dered imposed were roughly
equivalent to the reductions of
S26 million In frozen poultry
exports by the United States as
q result Of the Common Mar
ket's high duty system.
The tariff increases have
been scheduled earlier but were
postponed by the death of
President John F. Kennedy.
They were ordered after the
ministerial council Of the Com
mon Market authorized new
negotiations on the issue.
Christian A. Herter, IN
charge Of this country's trade
negotiations. pointed out in q
press conference that the con- |
SESSIONS were suspended but
not withdrawn. This meant
that they could be reinstated II
an agreement should be
reached on the matter.
The presidential proclama-
ton provided that the new rate |
would become effective on arti- |
cles withdrawn for consump-
ton on or after January Z.
west Germany on Its export |
Of automobile trucks and
France on its export Of brandy
would be the hardest hit Of the |
six countries.
The breakdown In dollar va.
lues Of the additional tariffs
was given as follows:
West Germany, Sl2,s64, 900
on trucks, plus q small amount
on exports Of brandy; France,
$8.555. 900 on brandy the Meth
erlands, $2,210,000 on dextrine
and $154.000 on potato starch; |

cunt on dextrine.

Euston's Example

Quietly and peacefully, the citizens
of Easton, Md, have shattered their
Eastern Shore town against the racial
storm simply by achieving with volun-
tary action what other communities
have resisted in climate Of stress and
disorder. Forewarned by the storm, as
it beat as close by as the sister city Of
Cambridge, Mayor Sherwood M. Hub
bard set up a committee Of eight white
and five Negro members.
In one week, the committee won de-
segregation pledges from the hotel, mo-
tel and theater as well as all owners of
restaurants and lunch counters save two
or three. The agreements were made
without the pressure Of demonstrators.
In the background were no police or
troops. And while all this Is not to imply
the transitional process was entirely
painless, 1t shows what can be done
when citizens face up to the facts
squarely and honestly.

j. w. Fulbright has several claims
to distinction. He is chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He is a Rhodes scholar. He is a former
president of the University of Arkansas
And he has an attractive personality
But he must be the worlds worst
pSychiatrist.
Senator Fulbright is an amateur,
not professional, psychiatrist, and
this town is full of them. The fact
that he is an amateur must explain
his readiness to psychoanalyze whole
nation. A professional doubtless would
know better.
According to the Senator from
Arkansas, the trouble with France is
that she is still "overcompensating"
for her bad performance during World
War H." In short, the French, we take
it, are suffering from some sort Of guilt
complex which has caused President
de Gaulle to insist on restrictive prac-
tices in the Common Market, including
a high tariff on poultry, which is bad
for Arkansas because Arkansas is a
large poultry producing State.
Don't be misled If this sounds
bit involved. To amateurs, 1t is perfectly
clear and comprehensive. We happen
to think, however, that the Chairman
Of the Foreign Relations Committee
should stick to his knitting and leave
free-wheeling pSychiatry to the pros.

New Look in Fine Arts

History, that old Gypsy man, when
choosing the most significant and for
ward moving achievement of the New
Frontier, may well give the nod to the
appointment of what amounts to new
Fine Arts Commission.
Now So years old, the Commission
has spent its first half century as a de-
fender Of the past. In its invariable
rejection of modern designs, the Com
mission has seemed to be holding the
line for the imminent return to earth,
and to Washington, Of the great archi-
tects Of the classical manner.
1t was a noble effort, but it should
now be clear that Bramante and Michel
angelo aren't going to make it. Not
even Stanford White will arise to give
new life to the old style. All that can
result from that devotion to the past is
the nothingneSs of Government Issue
Ice Cube Tray Style and the abomina-
ton that men call the New New House
Office Building.
Hence, it is time to look into new
styles and the Presidents appointments
promise to do so. The new members are
an architect, an architectural teacher,
an art critic and widow of a great archi-
tect, a sculptor, and painter, william
Walton, who is close personal friend Of
the President. They Join the only pre-
vious Kennedy appointment, made ten
months ago, of the landscape architect
Hideo SaSaki. 1t is expected that the
Commission will be completed with the
appointment Of architect Philip john
son.
All these members have been sig
nificantly involved with modern archi-
lecture. All know their way around the
Twentieth Century, a totally new note
in the Commissions history. William
Walton, who is chiefly known for his
friendship with the President, will prob
ably become chairman.
Actually Mr.. Walton'S relative OBJ.
security is due largely to his honorable
refusal to capitalize on that friendship.
His work is known and admired by
many professionals. And If the new
Commission is to mark a new era of
Washington public architecture, there
are less important qualifications than
friendship with the President.
To be sure, the Commission has, to
date, been permiSsive-or rather, non
permiSSive-in its functions 1t cannot
of itself initiate an architectural renaiS-
sance in this city. But If one happens it
can let it roll. And the new lineup is
capable of enlarging its job and starting
a small renaissance or two on its own
May all success attend it!
