OPINION
The following is an opinion!
Simply that, and does not necessarily express the views
of th>s newspaper or its publisher. The purpose of this
and the following articled is to provoke thought for the
betterment of the entire community. If you disagree with
the thoughts herein please write us a signed letter and
we will be glad to print your OPINION.
'lere is the latest thing to trouble your mind!
The Unions want to nationalize the railroads—in short
they want the government to take over the railroads and
run them.
That is good old socialist idea—government ownership
or all public utilities.
When the railroads are taken over by the Great Society,
it will be but g short step to taking over the Gas Cotnp-
ies, Electric Companies, and all other public utilities,
including the Telephone Companies.
And when this occurs our democratic form of government
marches off the rim of the world.
One of the things which has made this country great is
private enterprise—remove private enterprise and you
have another Soviet Union. When private enterprise goes
personal freedom goes.
During the past fifty years our freedoms have been slow-
ly but surely curtailed and when one freedom is lost it
is never regained.
Put a man in the White House, no matter which party he
belongs to, he commences to crave power—some become
dnmk with power and they are a danger to the entire
natioo.
This is another matter you should write yoir Congress-
men about—George Mahon and Ralph Yarborough-ask
them to oppose this and at the same time take some
strangling regulation off the railroads—the government
so regulates them that they cannot run at a profit.
Sen. Tower
Reports to
the People
LETTERS
The Free Press
Dear Sirs,
In your paper of today you
have a piece asking where
will we be after taxes. We
will be planning how to
raise more money for the
next tax raise. There
should be something done
to stop this willful waste
by our county and state off-
icials and also national off-
icials. We do not need any
sale tax and we do not need
to do away with the right to
work law. Johnson is trying
to put that over and at the
same time he knows that it
is wrong but he is after the
Union votes.
What about the ruling by
the Supreme Court knocking
down a law in Florida that
says that, “A Negro man
and a white woman can not
live together unmarried,”
saying that the law there
was unconstitutional. I
think one of the greatest
issues to day is the moral
issue. We have today
County, State and Nation,
men trying for power and
money and not trying for
what is best for the people.
Any man that is not as con-
servative with public money
as he is with his own is not
suitable for the place.
Yours very truly,
V. McMurry

COMMISSIONERS BUY
CAR FOR SHERIFF
Senator John Tower Friday
Introduced measures denying
further foreign aid funds to
Indonesia and the United Arab
Republic.
The bills were Introduced
as separate measures. They
will amend section 620 j of
the foreign Assistance Act of
1961.
The measure dealing with In-
donesia prohibits “the furnish-
ing of any further United States
assistance to Indonesia, Includ-
ing the training of Indonesian
military and police personnel
at United States Government
facilities."
Wording of the pertinent lang-
uage In the measure dealing
with the U.A.R. Is Identical.
Senator Tower Introduced a
similar bill In the 88th Con-
gress with respect to Indonesia.
It was approved by the Senate
as an amendment to the foreign
aid bill on August 13, 1964,
by a vote of 62 to 28. The
amendment was subsequently
deleted In conference commit-
tee.
In Introducing the measures,
Tower noted that both Presi-
dent Sukarno of Indonesia and
Premier Nasser of the United
Arab Republic have voiced con-
tempt for American aid, In face
of massive amounts of aid from
the American people. Both
leaders, said Tower, have a-
dopted a “go to hell" attitude
toward the United States.
Tower related that the Senate
previously adopted his amend-
ment denying aid to Sukarno,
but that the amendment was
deleted In conference, only six
months ago."
“During those six months,"
said Tower, “Indonesia has re-
nounced membership In the
United Nations, Increased at-
tacks upon our ally, Malaysia,
and continued Its contemptuous
‘go to hell’ attitude toward the
United States.
“On the other side of the
world, the same ‘go to hell*
attitude has been evidenced by
President Nasser of the United
Arab Republic. Among other
things, the United Arab Rep-
ublic has condemmed U.S. aid
policies, ridiculed the U.S. re-
lief mission to the Congo, open-
ly assisted Congolese rebels
In defiance of International law,
shot down a U.S. civilian air-
craft, and burned the John F.
Kennedy library In Cairo.”
The Commissioners Court
met In a special session on
Wednesday morning for the pur-
pose of opening bids on a new
automobile for the Sheriffs De-
partment.
The tow Md was submitted ^ M we
by the John Morton Olasmo- .
bile Company. ea'

Writing on the subject of
urban renewal, Washington
correspondent Patrick Fox j
says: “A Harvard Ph. D. stud- *
led the program and discover-
ed that far more people have ;
lost homes than gained them j
through urban renewal, be- J,
cause the program destroys /
tar more dwellings than It /
creates. He discovered that /
the claim that urban renewal
increases tax revenues cer-
tainly hasn’t been boras out
In the short run, because ur-
ban renewal projects take ten
or a dozen years to complete 33
and no taxes at all get paid
ordinarily during that peril

From the Wall Street Journr s
al: "A free economy and socl- »
ety expands the opportunities 3
for all Its members but leaves •
It largely to them to decide z
what they will do about it. •
This Is the antithesis of the £
present sociological approach
which regards the poor as
segregated class; either th<
must be dragged out of their
poverty by mechanical Gov-
ernment programs or else
maintained In their poverty
by the rest of society. Since
there are always those only
too willing to live at the ex- sz.
pense of others, that approach -
may only swell the ranks of
the shiftless and help per-
petuate poverty.“
An oil marketer who check-
ed up on the fire safety and
traffic safety records of ser-
vice stations In his commA
ity found that things were eJ^P
better than he had Imagined.
According to Oil Facts, he
learned that the state fire rat-
ing bureau, which sets insur-
ance rates for all kinds of
buildings, regards service
stations as safer than chur-
ches, schools, private homes,
restaurants, grocery stores
and doctor’s offices.

An editorial In the Rocky Z
Mountain Medical Journal -
says: “Recently a major *
American . pharmaceutical
$rm wgs_pi*ng a former em-
ployee for selling secrets of
research and production of an J
antibiotic to an Italian drug
manufacturer—however, not
until long after the Italla^^
firm, whose research and dj^/
velopment costs had thus been
paid by the American compe- i
tltor, had underbid the same »
firm In a large sale of this 3.
drug back to the United Sates ■«
government...Vigorous pro-
tests by many persons and or-
ganizations are now being “.
made against purchases by our •
government of foreign drugs £
produced on the basis of form- ~
ulae and methods stolen from
ethical American manufactur-
ers.”
More than a billion dollars
have been invested by the
railroads to provide modern^
mall-handling equipment
facilities—ranging from the"
familiar Railway Post Office
cars to elaborate terminal
conveyor systems, monitored
by television and the latest
electronic aids. The railroads «
carry each year the greatest **
single segment of the nation’s "
mall load of some 70 billion z.
pieces. For moving each first- '
class letter, they receive an
average of less than one-
half a cent.
FBI Director J. Hoover
writes: “Cold deliberate de^
fiance of the law must be me
with realistic action, whethe
the offender Is a Juvenile oi
an adult. But, too frequent
ly realism has given way
false sentiment where te
agers are Involved. Under
pretext of rehabilitation, far
too many young thugs have
been released prematurely to
continue preying upon society
pampering, overprotection,
fawning indulgence—these set
a pattern of wealcness which
breeds contempt for the law
and for those charged with
the administration of justice.”
