TRADE ORGANIZATIONS |
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
proposed recently a worldwide
trade organization. Shortly after
his proposal, Secretary of State
Dean Rusk said the Soviet lead-
er was probably offering these
steps as a diversion and to in-
terrupt the progress now being
made by the free world with
their healthy economic condi-
tions.
Whether the Khrushchev pro-
posal was a guise or a legiti-
mate offer, he has in the past
denounced the common markets
and he is certainly concerned
over the success of these mark-
ets. Especially does the Euro-
pean common market give him
great concern.
What worries Mr. Khrushchev
is, that in the next ten years
or so, Western Europe will be
tied together completely eco-
nomically and this union will
also include Britain and Ireland.
By then there will probably be
a close working trade partner-
ship between the United States
and this group of countries.
If Mr. Khrushchev is honest
in what he is proposing and
does not expect us to all be-
come Communists, and he can-
not expect that, then he must
expect Russia to do away with
Communism by joining our sys-
tem of free trade.
Maybe his proposal has some
weight, but we doubt if Mr.
-Khrushchev would give it a
second thought, if we actually
started negotiating along these
lines. He would like to stop the
common market progress but to
enter it would be disaster for
the Communism.

DON'T LAUGH TOO HARD!
Billy Sol is small peanuts!
There is nothing people like
better than to see a big opera-
tor come tumbling back into the
vast limbo of mediocrity with
j the rest of us. Everyone is thrill-
ed to-see his paper castle come
j tumbling down on his and his
| fellow “bluff-runners” ears.
1 While we are cheering the
demise of Billy Sol and cohorts
for trying to run the bluff on a
few million and failing, we go
merrily on our way letting our
government try to run the same
prosperity bluff on our mortgag-
ed future.
If you think the cheering was
loud and the headlines black on
little Billy, just wait until you
hear the rest of the world cheer-
ing about the downfall of the
big American bluff. The world
is just as jealous of this coun-
try as we are of individuals with
more than we have.
Billy Sol tried to play pros-
perous by mortgaging a few fer-
tilizer tanks that did not exist
and buying more grain elevators
than he could pay for. This
whole country is trying to play
prosperous before the world by
mortgaging our future incomes
and that of generations unborn.
Just like the fertilizer tanks,
this income does not exist.
Billy Sol’s crash was a little
noisy, but his false prosperity
was small peanuts compared to
that with which we are trying
to fool ourselves.

WHO KILLED THE FARM BILL?
Due to continue at least
through this year’s Congression-
al elections is the argument
over responsibility for defeat of
the Administration’s farm bill.
Agriculture Secretary Freeman
was quick to place the. blame
on Republicans. While only one
Republican voted for the bill it
is rather childish to attribute
the bill’s defeat to the almost
solid Republican vote against it
The blame—or, as some pre
fer to believe, the credit—be
longs to 48 Democrats who de
fied Administration leaders, not
withstanding extreme White
House pressure. There are plenty
of Democratic votes in the House
of Representatives to pass legis-
lation and Secretary Freeman
and other Administration lead-
ers ought to be honest enough
to admit that defecting Demo-
crats produced the majority
against the Administration farm
bill last week.
Of special significance is that
the opposition votes were pro-
vided in the main by Represen- 1
tatives from farming sections of .
the country, while Representa
tives from the cities, where
Democratic sentiment is strong-
est,lined up solidly behind the
Administration. This division in
the House vote undoubtedly re-
flected thinking of the people
back home.

200 FISHERMEN
PAY FINES IN
MONTH OF MAY
Game wardens still get a-
round. And they usually show
up when you least expect them.
A number of surprised fisher-
men found this out during the
month of May when they came
face to face with wardens who
wanted to see their licenses.
Undoubtedly, several thousand
people over the state were visit-
ed by wardens during a day on
the lake. However, 200 of them
who didn’t have licenses and
had to pay fines will remember,
the occasion longer than the
others.
Other than 58 arrests made
for the sale of fish in retail
outlets without the proper li-
censes, law violations remained
at a lull in May.
Altogether 346 cases were
filed. Of these, 31 were dismiss-
ed, 3 served time in jail, 2 ap-
pealed their case, one was
found not guilty and one was
suspended. Fines and court
costs amounted to $5,952.35.
J. B. Phillips, law enforce-
ment coordinator for the Game
and Fish Commission, reported
that wardens in the state have
been instructed to make fre-
quent trips to fishing waters.
“The people who have been
fined for fishing without the
proper license in the state this
year cannot honestly say that
they forgot to buy a license or
that they had no reminders
from the Commission,” said
Phillips. “We are constantly re-
minding sportsmen that they
must have a license according to
law. All I can suggest is that
before leaving the house fisher-
men chick to see if everyone in
the party has a license.”
Drying Rubber Boots
When tthe inside of your rub-
ber footwear gets cold and wet,
you can do a quick and safe
dryinig-out job by inserting in
them a lighted light bulb.
Use one like the mechanics
use, with the protective wire
screen.
More Mileage From Ice Chest
To keep your ice chest cold
much longer, in camp or boat,
slice a hunk of dry ice about
two inches thick to fit the bot-
tom of the chest.
Wrap the dry ice in tough
paper, put it in the bottom of
the chest and coved it with a
couple inches of cracked ice.

COTTON INSECT
SITUATION
IN TEXAS
HIGHLIGHTS: In general, the
cotton insect situation over the
state is relatively favorable for
this date. The lower valley area
is experiencing heavy boll wee-
vil and bollworm pressure, how-
ever, and many growers have
begun a rigid poisoning sched-
ule. These insects are begin-
ning to build up also in the
Coastal Bend and Upper Coastal
areas. In the Central area, first
generation weevil activity is in-
creasing and weather conditions
are favorable for further build-
ups. A few pink bollworms are
being found in the Upper Coast-
al and Central areas. Thrips are
still damaging late cotton in
North Central Texas. Hail in
the Northwest area destroyed as
much as 60 per cent of the crop
in localized areas.
Northwest — Light infesta-
tions of fleahoppers are present
in Childress County, but squar-
ing is very light to date. Ap-
proximately 60 per cent of cot-
ton in Hall County was hailed
out and remaining cotton is
very small.

Now
why
would
Martha
put
laundry
in the
freezer ?
Flameless electric living is a way of life, nowadays.
Sometimes this wonderful way of life in the world of women brings about
Strange sights — sights that are incomprehensible to the mere man. Often, a
jnan sees things more marvelous, even, than laundry in the freezer.
That’s because Martha .. . and all the Marthas served by West Texas Utilities
Company... knows better than anyone (even us) the many ways to live
fester, electrically.
All right, Mister
why does she put laundry
in the freezer? Ask the
inventor; she will
also show you other
ways her family uses
flamolese electricity for
a better life.
