Rep. Earl Wilson, Indiana.

Now according to Rep. Wil-
son this billion dollar War on
Poverty does not add up.
♦ ♦ #
He points out that there Is
already $40 billion being spent
to alleviate poverty, and if
$40 billinn is not able to do the
job, how can another mere bil-
lion dollars do the job?
* * *
He finds that 'the nation has
been spending on alleviation of
poverty already the following
sums. Food stamp plan, $5J
million, vocational rehabilita-
tion grants $100 million, stu-
dent loan program $135 million,
vocational educational acts
$190 million, public works ac-
celeration $214 million, area
redevelopment administration
$222 million, Indian education
and welfare $249 million, dona-
tion of commodities to needy
persons $304 million, public
housing loans $399 million,
manpower retraining $411 mil-
lion, urban renewal $1.3 billion.
These total ’$9 billion and add-
ed to this n>MSt bt included so-

Labor Day is a day which hon-
ors the working forces of our
nation, a day to honor the ef-
forts of our worKing people who
help build our great nation. This
Labor Day weekend marks the
closing of the formal vacation
season and many motorist will be
taking advantage of this time
for a short trip on the highways
to visit relatives or a trip to the
lake for a weekend of fun just
prior to becoming involved in
school work and the beginning of
a busy work season.
These were the comments of
Major Guy Smith, Commander of
Region One of the Texas Depart-
ment of Public Safety, as he and
his staff began making prepara-
tions in Dallas to handle the
expected large flow of traffic in
the Northeastern sector of Texas
under his command.
“Last Year’s Labor Day week-
end toll of traffic deaths num-
bered 44,” said Major Smith.
“The worst accident in 1963 oc-
curred on Labor Day in Liberty
County in which 10 persons were
killed.”
Major Smith warned motorist
that traffic deaths are on the
increase in Texas this year and
issued a special warning to mo-
torists that more than 50 percent
of the rural fatal accidents in
this area have been one car ac-
cidents with the greatest increase
of accidents occurring on the In-
terstate Highways.
“These one car accidents are
caused by excessive speed, which
is the number one killer on Texas
Highways,” Smith said. “Drivers
do not give their full attention
to the responsibility of driving
in order to set up ‘defensive ac-
tion’ against potential dangers.”
El

book which tells the story of ployment benefits totalling $8

It is with heartfelt gratitude

billion, plus $8 billion being
spent by private parties. Thus,
the total is $40 billisn.
♦ ♦ ♦
So as the ant inquired of the
elephant who he thought he was
shoving, it seems quite remote
that another billion can push
those in poverty into affluence
when $40 billion has not been
able to do so.
♦ ♦ ♦
Now from another part of the
country there is Rep. John
Dowdy of Texas.
♦ ♦ ♦
He recently declared he is
mystified as well on the facts.
The Dept, ef Agriculture re-
leases a report that one-third
of the 16,000,OOG American fam-
ilies represented as living in
poverty are farm families.
♦ ♦ ♦
Now inasmuch as about the
same time the Defyt, of Agri-
culture, through one of its
more than 500 tax paid press
agents revealed that the census
shows there are only 3,481,000
farms in the nation, Rep. Dow-
dy is confused. In other words,
there are 2,000,000 more pov-
erty stricken farm families
than farms. It gets confusing.
* * *
If gentlemen such as these
keep on with such skeptical
questions, it may be a decision
will be reached to appropriate
more money to send a special
task force out of Washington
to seek out poverty, something
like Diogenes and his lantern
looking around for an honest
man. But perhaps even better
would be a plan to resettle
about 2,000,000 surplus bureau-
crats on the land, and that way
the nation could be assured of
at least 2,000,000 poverty strick-
en farm families, as hands
that have lived by raising tax-
es c«uld probably never raise
much else.
