Meanwhile, second-place Fail
Lanes muffed a golden oppor-
tunity to make it even tougher
for Bowl America to clinch the
flag. Eleventh place Robert
sons Crab House came UP with
a ding dong attack, led by
Lindsey Hammonds and Eddie
owens, to take two out of three
from Fair Lanes. Thus Bowl
America still leads Fair Lanes
by three games.

Bowl America now needs to
win only one game on next

Gated, impOlite and rude person

years ago about someone of her

On the other hand, these peo-

what her motives are, when the

her showing it to people does
not at all enhance her prestige,
but, on the contrary, her action
only shows that she lacks the
refinement of a lady that she
should be.

Well, this sounds like beating

she lacks, very unfortunately,
the modesty and refinement that
educated and cultured ladies
should possess. Or, is she a lady

ellers, saying, What is the diff
ference?"
The highway robbers had in
tended to confiscate the bag
gage and the money of the Ilo-
canos before releasing them. But
Max and the threat of Presiden-
tial Intervention, were too much
for them. They gave up their
quarry. 1t appeared that the
operation was a collaboration of
Ilocano criminals, who had re-
turned or were deported from
the United States, who had
known the intended victims and
who were in cohorts with some
truck drivers and Tagalog fake
law men in Bulacan.
The Magsaysay administra-
ton was not free from similar
banditry and thievery. When l
was at the Bayview Hotel in
1855, a Filipino from America
foolishly told the taxi driver
that he was going to draw $4,-
900 from a bank. The driver
later drove him to a vacant lot
and knocked him out.
When I stayed at the Manila
Hotel, l955-57, Filipino apart
ment operator from Seattle
made the error of going out
dressed in an American-made
suit. They relieved him of ST.

Last December, a second cou-
sin of mine went to the Philip
pines to marry a school teacher.
On the dock he was met by a
pretty girl, who flirted with
him. Having a thousand things
on his mind, he ignored her.
Nevertheless, a tough guy, with
a gang, accosted and accused
him of getting fresh with "his
wife" Fortunately, a police
man and Manpower Commits
sioner Apolonio V. Castillo ar
rived, and the gang disappear
ed in a hurry.
Last July, l met four Fill
ipinos in Seattle, who were
complaining about crockedneSs
and disorder in the Philippines.
One, a very successful farmer,
told me that when he was in
his town, he was guarded by a
relative with a sub-machine gun
every night. In the same pro-
vince, two Filipinos from Guam
were burglarized.

LawlesSness And Disorder


If their social security of "a
bout a hundred dollars is spent
in the United States, it is very
meager. They can get this ben
eft, even if they live in the
Philippines. If spent in a rural
town at the present rate of ex-
change, the recipient can live
very comfortably, especially if
he has some property there.
Many of the recipients of social
security benefits are also re-
ceiving retirement pay from
their union and /or from their
former employers. Some have
insurance annuities, besides.
Such individuals could even af-
ford a servant if they lived in
a provincial community in the
home country.
But most of these are DISCUS
ted by red tape, corruption and
lawlessness in the land of their
birth. Frequently, customs of
ficials just pick up and appro
pirate whatever desirable thing
theywant out of the baggage of
Filipinos from the United States.
Let us take the case of I'D"
who went home with a nickel
plated pistol A customs Off
cial confiscated it for his per-
Sonal use. When I'D" reap
peared with a reserve colonel,
the customs official returned
the weapon to him, thus violat-
ing the law twice.
When a visitor goes to the
Department of Finance for tax
clearance, before leaving, a
clerk Is likely to charge him
P4.00 without issuing a receipt
and is made to buy stamps for
P9:30 from the city and be Civ
en- receipt for only P8:30. Why
is the differencel The amount
is very petty, but it makes a
very bad publicity for the Phil
ippines to returning Filipinos
and to foreign visitors.
Let US take more serious cas-
es. About ten years ago, Max
Tobias, a Boeing worker, who
halls from Santa Domingo, TO-
cos Sur, arrived in Manila, with
a truck load of Ilocanos from
Hawaii. When they got to Ma
lolos, Bulacan, Filipinos in po-
lice uniforms, stopped them on
the preteXt of Customs Inspec-
ton, according to Max, who was
tough egg under the leader
ship of the late Fidel Molina.
He demanded that the crooks
present their credentials. They
did, and their cards appeared
plausible.
But Max insisted that Malolos
was not the place for Customs
Inspection. His sister, a school
teacher, who was the tutor of
Tony Quirino's children, threat
ened to report the bandits to
President Elpidio Quirino. This
unexpected turn of events UNI
nerved the fake policemen. They
agreed to release Max and his
sister, but wanted the Filipinos
from Hawaii to leave the truck
with all of their belongings.

Like the fellow who had a
good day at the track Che broke
even) a West Coast aerospace
firm is trying to evaluate its
luck under a new type of Gov
ernment contract.
Termed by a high military
official ''the toughest contract
ever negotiated" the agree
ment features a novel double-or-
nothing incentive provision. 1t is
believed to be the first incen-
tive-type contract ever written
on spacecraft production.
Principals are the Air Force
and TRW-Space Technology
Laboratories of Redondo Beach,
Calf, a division Of Thompson
R a m o-Wooldridge, Inc. The
agreement involves a $13.9 mil
lion job developing and produc-
ing satellites for the Vela-Hotel
nuclear detection program.
STL dreamed up the idea
when negotiations on a more
conventional contract were in
midStream. Now the company
is in the position where, If moth

to the bone. The negotiation is
really on the size Of the fee. In
working up -plus-incentive-
fee (CPIF) agreements, the fig
uring on costs is usually a little
looSer on the assumption that
the contractor will work hard to
cut costs, according to expe-
rienced contracting officers.
Unfortunately for STL, the
cost estimates were prepared
while negotiations were aimed
at a CPFF contract. When sig
mails were changed the eSti-
mates stuck. The CPIF agree
ment was signed based on these
estimates, and STL found itself
with little room for maneuver.
The contracts incentive pro-
visions fell into two categories,
cost and performance. Bonuses

Also, when this extra money

eS encourages foreign owners Ct
our dollars to take their money
home, drain our gold supply,
and this endangers the stability
of our dollar.
In recent years the Treasury
has financed its deficits pri-

TEN. The Federal Reserve has
permitted interest rates to rise
and foreign owners Of dollars
are now keeping their money
invested here. Despite the budg-
ct deficits, initiation has been
curbed and the outflow Of our
gold has dwindled.
Now will come the great test
of 1964-5-a budget deficit, a
massixe tax cut, a strong econ

ton and the gold outflow?
The dangers will be real, but,
81 think we can do it," says
Federal Reserve Board Chair
man William McC. Martin, and
the White House agrees that
whatever steps are necessary to
achieve this must be taken. It
means:
The Treasury will tailor its

tors here and abroad and the
Federal Reserve will keep the
lid on the money supply.

Under the CPFF arrange

incentive plan, the company
asked for a bOnus-penalty

up to 14.95 per cent; If every
thing went awry, it would be
