as the man who would probably
best fill the bill They located him

"And. I'm still in the Navy," he
says, "just on leave."
Conducts Hearing**
He has been conducting a sei es .
of hearings at w hich presidents and
other high executives of several
major oil companies have testified,
iisking that he grant them an in
crease in the amount of «ii which
they may hiing into this country
under the voluntary program.
These men, accompanied by th* it
aides, come before him in *h* same
fifth-floor Interior Kepartiiient con
rerence r mm where Harold Ickes
used to meet with th** press ami
throw out barbed cracks at the oil
and gas industry. Ickes plugged f**i

to impress those who w atch Carson

"I'm no ohilanthropist," Jamison
said. "I dm't have the funds to
indulge in philanthropy. 1 only
would like to see a workable co-

"This program liKht now is set beyond that. Yes, I find this job
one of the most intensely busy and
interesting I've held."
Elaborating, he said he haped
the job would endure if it managed
to achieve harmony between the im-
porters and domestic producers
and at the same time protect the
public interest.

Ginner Offers
To Give Away
Costly Plant
WICHITA FALLS, Tex. ilb— One
aspect of the cotton ginning busi-
ness was dem instrated here this
fall when Jack I*. Jamison offered
to give away his gin. which would
cost $12a,(MM) to replace.
' In an advertisement in the Wichi-
ta Falls Times, Jamison offered the
Kin. less buildings to a chartered
cooperative "in appreciation of pa-
tronage over the past 4.r> years."
The sr i n long a landmark in
Wichita Falls, was established b_v
Jamison's father. The elder Jami-
son operated it until his death in
19.H2, when his widow took over
the business. She operated the irin
until her death in 1950, when Jami-
son began its operation.
U.S. Department of Agriculture
economists say that, to show a pi<>-
fit, a gin must process at least I,-
800 bales each season, but last year
the gin handled less than half that
volume, Jamison said.
"I turned a small profit last year,
but 1 just don't think the ginning
business has any future for an in-
dividual owner," he said.
A cooperative, on the other hand,
could operate at a good profit be-
cause of it* unique tax situation.

IT'S THOSE CLIPPINGS IN YOUR HANOI
it's a fact that American women are the most qualified
shoppers in the world. Because of the intensity of news-
paper advertising, American women have more infor*
motion about more products, and so can compare value
and price to get the most for their money The largest
single advertising voice in our country is the local news-
paper And what's more, take it with you when you
shop Or you can clip the ads out, as reminders to yvU
to take advantage ol the batgcun you read about
