A Common Front

The members of the regulated COM
mon carrier industry must set aside
their private quarrels with other reg
ulated carriers in favor of united, ag-
gressive action against unregulated
carriers that 'mooch and scrounge traf-
fic which suits them and not the pub
ic'."
This is the view Of Anthony F. Ar
paia, TO- Ter chairman Of the Inter
state Co. .merce Commission, and now
the vic, president in charge of Inter-
national Services of REA Express.
This does not mean that all the diff
ferences between the desires and pro-
posed policies Of the regulated carriers
will disappear. They are far too pro
found for that. But it certainly does
mean that here is one area, at least,
where these carriers can present com
mon front in just and common cause.

Former Al Club members
today number nearly 20 million
the largest alumni of any CO.
educational youth organization In
the world, according to VIM.
Pinnell, County Al Club Agent.
The number is increasing each
year as Al boys and girls reach
their 21st birthday and graduate
from the active rolls of All
clubs.
Up until the past decade, most
Al members were sons and
daughters of farm families, or
Lived In small rural communities.
|By 1870, according to Pinnell,
the larger percentage of All
membership will be non-farm
youth. This is the result of the
Shift of farm population, he says.
Consequently more former
All members will be filling city
Jobs or pursuing professional
careers.
For the last 10 years, there
has been an adult All activity
which looks for former club
members who have distinguished
themselves. It is the national
All Alumni Recognition Pro-
gram.
Since 1853, the national gold
alumni key award has been pre-
sented to 80 prominent men and
women from 35 states. They are
engaged in occupations ranging
from homemaker to astronaut.
Several thousand persons have
received county and state awards.
Candidates for awards can be
nominated by anyone. Nomination
forms and further infor nation
are available at the county ex-
tension office.
A judging committee selects
two individuals In the county who
best measure up to standards set
for meriting county certificates.
From all those receiving
county recognition, as many as
four can be chosen for state
honors. The winners receive a
handsome, engraved, FURNISHED
copper and walnut plaque.
Eight national award recipients
are invited to Chicago to attend
the National Al Club Congress.
Each is presented with the All
alumni key during the annual
alumni banquet attended by 500
national and state Al leaders,
educators, business officials, and
friends of All.

The problem Of unregulated carriage,
as Mr.. Arpaia makes clear, is a very
serious one. For example, unregulated
highway carriage handles nearly double
that Of regulated trucking.
He also makes the big point that in
a crisis the government turns to the
regulated transportation industry. This
happened last October, when the Cuban
emergency arose. 1t was the author
lied regulated transportation services
railroads, trucks, planes-that the
government relied upon. And that re-
lance was fully justified by instantane-
Gus action on the part of all these serv-
ices. Unregulated commercial trans
port, existing side by side with sys-
tenn under which the major movers of
goods and people are totally regulated,
undermines the national interest, which
means the interest of us all.

All Things For All Men

In other words, the program is de-
signed to be all things to all men, and
that never works. Mr.. Lippmann's case
is supported by mountains of evidence.
For instance, such diverse groups as the
major industrial associations and the
principal labor unions are both highly
critical Of the plan.
Mr.. Lippmann is among the many
who feel that tax cut is essential now.
But his pessimism over the Admins
tration's scheme is thoroughly based.
The political overtones are too obvious,
and a thinking public has, with every
justification, grave doubts as to its
Soundness especially when it is is ac-
companied by proposals for enormous
increases in federal spending and the

Practically every state is looking for
more revenue, to be gained from sales
taxes, excise taxes, income taxes, prop
erty taxes, business taxes, hunting and
fishing taxes, and so on ad infnitum.
You name tax-and someone, some
where, is advocating it, The same
thing is true Of the other governmental
entities municipalities, counties :,
school districts, etc.
The moral, certainly, is plain "A cut
in federal income taxes will do little or
nothing to stimulate investment and
consumption if it is largely offset BY
increases in taxes elsewhere. Compound

Walter Lippmann, in recent col
umn concerning the hard shedding that
the Administration tax program is
meeting in Congress, makes a point of
deep significance.
He writes: ''In an effort to please
everybody little, very few are left
who are pleased very much. It is pro-
gram to cut taxes and at the same
time to raise them, and no political
leader can rouse the people to follow
him in two opposite directions at once
:. The country is baffled by it. In
stead of focusing public attention on
the vital need to stimulate the economy,
each taxpayer has been invited to see
whether he will lose money by the tax
reforms than he will gain by the tax
reductions"
Milford chronicle., 1963-04-19

From the taxpayers point Of view,
which agency collects his taxes or what
way it does it, is of comparatively small
Importance. The total tax bite is the
big thing, for that determines what he
has left in his pay envelope to spend
or save or invest.
This pinpoints an aspect Of proposed
federal income tax reductions that de-
serve great deal more attention than
they have so far received.
This year, for instance, the social
security tax was increased again. The
tax has collected more than $10O bill
lion in the 26 years since the program
began, according to Oregon Tab Re
search. And in the next six years alone

Food Without Fear

The fight against food faddism is an
exceedingly difficult one. All manner of
exaggerated, unsupported and plain
misleading claims are made for diets
which the medical fraternity, out Of its
wealth of research and experience, re-
CARDS as dangerous to health and life.
But great numbers of people innocent

vice. And the problem has become
steadily worse in recent years. .

biles much time in locating
homes or offices they might be
seeking. Color has great and ex-
citing possibilities.
AT the present time news
papers are using red ink for
certain advertisements but I
forecast that more and more
they will be using different
colors. Some ads will be done in
red; some in green; and some in
yellow. Tests will then be made
to determine what colorS best
catch the readers eye; and the
price Of an advertisement will
be adjusted accordingly. The use
Of color by newspapers to call
attention to special news items
will help these papers compete
with color TV.
We know that color has been
greatly developed in our homes,
in our stores, and in labels and
illustrations. Manufacturers Of
all merchandise are now using
color increasingly to get us to
buy goods. Hence, they spend
much money on package design
Of all kinds. Note how the super
markets feature color.

it was to be color television that

did get off the ground.
However, word is getting
around in top commercial

Il everything were green, the

Gently said.
The farm leader said that the
outcome of the referendum could
well determine whether Ameri-
can agriculture will move In the
direction of greater freedom Of
decision and management or to-
ward complete government re-
gtmentation.
"a mo- vote In the referen-
dunn would be signal to dis

Garrison said.
"Government supply manage
ment programs such as the wheat
certificate plan freeze produc-
tion patterns, delay needed
changes and retard market
expansion by the denial of new
needs, he said. f'Such programs
also impose limitations on the
opportunity to compete and
achieve rewards that might be
earned through recognition OF
individual competence and a.

restrictive controls and price

"When production is geared to
the market price system, 1t OBJ

"On the other hand produc-

acreage controls and price fixing
programs Of the last 80 years
have discouraged needed adjust

of commodities that consumers
did not want.
"The wheat certificate plan or
which farmers will vote in the

merit In solving the wheat prob

to mount such an intensive anc
massive campaign to secure q

"Secretary Freeman also said
fOn one side the Farm Bureau
is urging no vote. On the other
side all the rest of the farm or

opposes his wheat certificate
plan. The American National Cat

Although the Secretary may de-

of their existence.
''Recognining the opposition OF
livestock groups to compulsory

has made no such commitment
