This is an issue which I find
it hard to get envolved with.
I just don’t have any feelings
toward machines, one way or
another. I’m just not emotional-
ly envolved, although I’ll ad-
mit I’ve said a few unkind
things about my tractor when
it wouldn’t start, which is off-
set by the fact there have been
times when it suited me even
better because it wouldn’t start.
I’ve never been one to con-
sider a piece of machinery or
a human being useless just be-
cause neither was out burning
up the miles. A man and a ma-
chine both ought to be allowed
to refuse to budge for no rea-
son at all if the mood strikes.
But back to the election com-
puters. If the television indus-
try’s machine can accurately
and without fail predict the
outcome of an election, just by
looking at a few isolated votes,
why can’t the newspapers per-
fect a machine that’ll predict
what the television machine
will say?
Then of course television can
counter with one that’ll pre-
dict what the newspaper ma-

I believe that when
' leave Washington, they go with
a better understanding and ap-
preciation for this great Capital
City of ours—truly the Capital
of the free world.
All indications are that our
recent tax cut is having its de-
sired effect and proving to
those of us who worked for it
that it was a wise and prudent
move.

One of the problems that has
been plaguing us the most is
unemployment. For more than
six years, it has been at a fig-
ure much too high to give any
of us comfort. At last we seem
to be on the road to the goal
of having a job for every man
and woman who is able and I
willing to work. The most re-
cent statistics indicate that un-
employment has made a signifi-
cant drop; and it is generally
conceded that the tax cut is
the reason for it.
In general, our economy is
moving forward steadily and
with a remarkable degree of
price stability. The other por-
tion of the tax cut is to take
place next year. It should give
even greater impetus to our
expanding economy.
Sincerely yours,

the television machine will
predict, an so on, back and
forth, until you can be in-
formed how an election will
come out five years before it’s
held.
Obviously, with elections
thus pre-determined and pre-
announced, there’d be no need
for campaign speeches on tele-
vision and a man could turn
on his set and gea Wagon Train
when Wagon Train is supposed
to be on. Or if somebody feels
he has to deliver a speech, hook
him up to the computer and let
him deliver it to it.

Dear editar:
As I understand it, a lot of
people are complaining because
the television companies’ com-
puter machines are now an-
nouncing the results of elec-
tions before the elections are
over.
They say this is unfair, that

to the polls late
in the afternoon
and hearing'
that somebody
has already
been declared
the winner, will
stay at home,

doubt this, as he

9th TEXAS DISTRICT
Dear Neighbors:
Washington is bustling
visitors. I don’t recall a
when I have seen so many in
the Nation’s Capitol. This is
particularly true of our young
folks. Most of them are taking
their first big trip away from
home. It may be that the rea-
son for this especially heavy in-
flux is the New York World’s
Fair which is about a four-hour
drive from Washington.
Our Ninth District has
well represented in the past
week or so. Groups from
veston, Fort Bend, and Victoria
Counties have been here.
A colorful and talented young
group of singers from Victoria
College was here. Another was
a group of pretty girls and
their chaperones from the Gal-
veston Ursuline Academy. And
also, from Galveston, a few
days later, came Girl Scout
Troop No. 35.
It was my

something about the breaking
of bread with folks from home,
and especially young people,
that thrills me deeply.
I have also had a visit from
a mighty fine group from La-
mar High School in Rosen-
berg. They were pretty well
scattered around Washington;
and the opportunity never came
for me to have them all to-
gether at one time, but I did see
as many as were able to come
to the Capitol.
The Explorer Scouts of the
Bay Area on their way to the
World’s Fair, came by late last
Thursday afternoon. I met with
them on the steps of the Capi-
tol.
Although I see it day after
day, I never look at our ma-
jestic Capitol without a thrill.
I was impressed that on the

Ford Country Squire
The elegance of simulated oak and walnut side panels helps make the Country Squire the most
distinctive looking wagon in its class. It’s also the roomiest. It has 99.2 cubic feet of cargo
space, and with tailgate lowered it takes loads 10 feet long. Extra-size brakes and power-
operated tailgate window are standard. So is Ford's famous total performance. Take a test
drive and see.
