THE PAPER ECONOMY. B
David T. Bazelon. 467 pI
(Random House; $6.950

David T. Bazelon. 467 PIP.
CRandom House; $685.
In recent years most Of
us have been forgetting a
few important facts.
David T. Bazelon reminds
us: lover 80 million people
Tin the United States) live
on less than $50 q week for
a family of four and these
families include one-fifth of
the children and 8 million
men and women over IS
years" And he makes a judg-
ment: Everyone can think
of that as he pleaSes, or
ignore it: I find 1t dis
gushing"
Yet, as we we'll know. these
unfortunate facts do not re-
suit from scarcity. Most basic
industries are running at less
than capacity. MIR. Bazelon
remarks tf1t the "short-fall
of production" (that is per-
centage of unused capacity
In all sectors of the economy
is something on the magni-
tude Of $50 billion in one
year"
Meanwhile, the Soviet
Union Is using all its pro-
ductive capacity partly for
use and partly to create still
more productive capacity. It
disposes of its products more
or less as 1t wishes. 1t can
provide massive aid to ma
tions that have decided that
they no longer enjoy poverty
as a way of life or 1t can
direct vast amounts of its
production towards a specific
object-military rockets, for
example.
THE QUESTION is: What
is wrong here? Mr.. Bazelon
supplies his answer in "The
Paper Economy" parts Of
which have appeared In the
Reporter, Commentary an d
the Partisan Review.
The book is racy and col
loquial; its basic notions are
formulated so as to be as
shocking as possible. 1t is
becoming increasingly COM
mon to equate blandneSs with
competence and sharpness
with ignorance. But Mr..
Bazelon is neither In
competent nor ignorant. He
has practiced law as a cor
porate specialist with a large
firm that at the lime In
cluded Adlai Stevenson as a
senior partner, and he has
taught at Bard College. He
knows how corporations and
corporate law work.
The main point Of "The
Paper Economy" is made by
the title: Our economy is
oriented around money. near
monies and profits and losses
rather than around things,
that is, the objects produced
by q technologic..l society.
The paper should be q con-
venient symbolic system for
dealing with the realities 1t
represents. these realities be-
ing too diverse and often
literally too weighty TO be
manipulated themselves.
But this is not what hap
pens. The paper has a life
Of Its own; more important.
II has laws Of It's own. And
these laws are In conflict
with the reality they theo-
retically represent.
The notion is not new. Mr..
Bazelon's woik rests quite
squarely on that Of q line

A. DO not put in more
than will freeze within "a
hours about 2 or 3 pounds Of
food TO each cubic foot Of
freezer capacity. More than
this slows the rate OF freez-

parents, both natives of Arkan-

there, so that their son could
get the expert medical care he
needed to survive.

CESS, who was a model before
her marriage, today is a March
of Dimes volunteer. One Of the
satisfactions she finds in this
work is the hope it affords that
research will find the reasons
why some children are not born
perfect, and then will find a
way to prevent these tragedies.
The March of Dimes helped
wipe out polio with the Salk
and Sabin vaccineS. I am GER
tain that something can be done
about birth defects.
81 am going to work as hard
as I can to see that Jimmy con-
tinues to get the best possible
medical care, and that funds
are available for research so
that someday other mothers
won't suffer the terrible shock
that I did.
Children like Jimmy will
benefit most from expansion Of
the March of Dimes-supported
nationwide network Of clinical
study and treatment centers,
which bring the most modern
medical care to victims Of birth
defects, arthritis and polio. To-
day there are more than so Of
these centers. Our nation could
easily use twice that number"

new experiment
set to reduce
over-production

Beginning February 1, Mis-
sissippi and II other states
will begin an experiment un-
der the guidance of Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Con-
servation Service, u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, to
reduce over-production in sur
plus crops by shifting farm
land from excess crops into
income-producing crops or
other profit-making uses.
The ASC, directed in Mis-
sissippi by C. w. Sullivan, will
begin signing up farmers in
this pilot operation on Febru-
airy with agreements to be
made continuously through
March 81 for this crop year.
The experiment will he under
taken this year in Itawamba,
Lee, Tippah and Union coun-
ties. These counties have ap-
proximately $500 farms, of
which $3.50 have initial cot
ton acreage allotments tor
1868 in the amount of 69,256
acres.
This experiment is different
from other production control
methods used in the past in
that it does not contemplate
removal of land from income
production; instead it is found
ed upon the idea of taking
land out of production OF
crops which are now in excess
and devoting it to the produc-
ton of income through other
uses. This may be in the pro-
duction Of crops which are
not in excess, or in other prof
|it-making endeavors, such as
recreational facilities, for ex.
ample.
Since the majority of the
farms In these counties are
classified as cotton farms,
It is considered likely that
most of the land which will
be signed up under this ex-
pertinent will come out OF
traditional cotton-pr0ducing
land. Increase in money
crops which are not in ex-
cess might reasonably be
expected.
Mississippi has been allot-
tied approximately 100000
(which will be available to as
sist farmers during the first
year of operation under this
program.

Pre-meosurement
services are now
available for 1863

Lynn Jordan, Chairman OF
the Holmes Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation
County Committee announced
today that requests for pre-
measurement of 1868 crops
will be accepted at the Holmes
ASCS County Office beginning
January Is. Premeasurement
service will be available to
cotton and rice farmers corn
and grain sorghums farmers
who participate in the 1868
wheat sterilization program.
The purpose of the pre- :
measurement program is to
give each farm operator an
opportunity to have his land
measured prkor tO planting
time SO that he will be assur-
ed of planting his full allot-
ment and at the same time
avoid Overplanting.
In 1862, Mississippi farmers
failed to plant approximately
$4,000 acres of cotton that
was available for planting; yet
9,700 farmers overplanted
their farm allotments by ap-
proximately 25,300 acres. Jor-
dan said that much of the I'M
der and overplanting COULD
have been avoided had these
farmers taken advantage of
premeasurement service.
Under the premeasurement
program, an Asses compliance
reporter visits the farm, mea-
sures and stakes the farm
pointed out by the farmer
prior to the time the crop is
planted. If the farmer plants
within the staked area, he is
then assured of planting his
full allotment.
Farmers participating in the
1868 feed grain program or
wheat sterilization program
may also have their diverted
acreage measured and stalk
ed. Farmers who take advant-
age of this service will be as
sured of diverting enough ac-
reage to insure full payment
under the feed grain and
wheat sterilization programs.
Requests for premeasure-
ment service will be accepted
at the Holmes Asses County
Office during the period jan
uary Is through April 5. At
the time the request for SER
vice is made the farmer-will
be asked to deposit a small
fee with the county committee
to help cover the cost of doing
the work. The service fee
varies according to the num-
Der of acres to be premeasur-
ed.

corning the premeasurement
program, contact the Holmes
ASCS County Office. ,
