So there was a plan to sell the wheat at cut-rate
prices for export only; the device was to pay a cash
subsidy to anyone who would take the wheat off the
government's hands and ship it abroad. As it turned
out, though. so many exporters took to jetting their
wheat from the government stockpile that nobody
was buying export wheat on the open market That
did not have the desired effect on market wheat prices.
Now the Agriculture Department has changed this
plan. Beginning in September traders who want to
buy wheat for export will have to buy it in the open
market. The exporters will ho longer get a cash sub-
sidy. Instead, the exporter will get an allowance in
free wheat from the government bins for every bushel
of wheat they buy and sell abroad.
Just how this is going to solve the problem we don't
know. The bushels of wheat the government gives
away as a subsidy to the exporters could presumably
be sold, which would mean that many bushels of
wheat less that will have to be bought on the open
market. We feel a headache coming on just thinking
about it
Which is the main reason we sympathize with the
men in the Agriculture Department. They can't seem
to cure their wheat headsche by keeping it, selling
it or giving it away.
"While hunting squirrel, just a
little way off Sherman Drive, I
found a running spring” said Sum-
ner Isom. “The spring, though it
didn't seem to have been cleaned
out in a long time was running a
small stream of clear water. I had
. hunted in that area before, but
didn't run across the spring.” As
we recall it, that spring was one
of the early day places for water,
as at that time, report has it,
that it flowed a good sized stream
and supplied water to both trave-
lers and people living in Denton.
We believe the spring was on the
Green Wilson place.

Then not long ago the Agriculture Department de-
cided it would sell the wheat: that would cut the
losses as well as reduce surplus. The department
couldn’t sell the wheat at the price it paid for it and
it couldn't just dump it on the market because that
would have the effect of reducing the market price,

care of my twenty-one month old

Mr and Mrs. Bob Hollowwa. no
doubt, have taken off on their

we think probably on to Oregon,

Homnebiiaing remains the dim
spot in the construction picture
On top of reports that housing
starts this year lag well behind
last year's, there were signs o1
even further slowdowns. The Vo-
terans Administration reported it j
was asked to appraise only 35,520
new homes in June. This was 20
per cent fewer than in May and
about 30 per cent less than a year
ago.
In the curtailed auto industry,
news of rehiring sounded far bet
ter than the layoffs of past months
Chrysler Corp. announced it was
recalling nearly 1,000 workers to
jobs in parts and transmission
plants in Indiana. Production for
the auto' industry as a whole in-
creased slightly this week.
Reports from Detroit have in-
dicated that new auto models com-
ing out this fall will carry higher
price tags. They won't be the only
things with higher prices.
Department store buyers stock-
ing up for the coming season re-
port slightly higher .wholesale
prices for many items. including
clothes, housewares and the hun-
dreds of little things on notion
counters. However some said a
number of the increases are so
small they might not even be
passed on to the retail customer.
Wages continued,to Inch up. On
top of recent boosts for copper-
workers. a rubber industry pattern
seemed to be set when Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co. agreed to an
hourly cash increase of slightly
more than six cents. This con-
firmed the pace set by B F. Good-
rich Co. a week or so earlier.
In one field, however, there was
talk of lower prices. A chance for
a cut in the wholesale price of
estimates of those laid off in allied
industries runs around 100,000
The total is only a small percent-
age of the more than 6612 million
persons who Had jobs in the mentb
just before the strike began
If a prolonged strike force* ad-
ditional plants to close in substan-
tial numbers, however. unemploy-
ment would snowball rapidly and
give the whole economy a setback.
Although there were still no
signs a settlement was close, busi-
nessmen found some hope in re-
ports that both union end manage-
nent had narrowed differences
slightly. Statements by govern-
ment officials that President Ei-
senhower was "concerned" ebout
the situation fostered belief the
government would move to pre-
vent serious harm to the economy
in the meantime there were or
timistic short and long-term pre-
dictions from the wool, electrical
and heavy construction industries.
The wool industry found nros-
pects bright for the selling sesson
that begins in September. Al-
though production has been in-
a easing throughout the world de-
mand has outpaced it so far this
year and has kept prices firm .

position of vital importance in the
world This is whet President Nas-
ser said, and when he speaks thus
he is expressing the wish of a
large nation which has proved its
ability to fulfill the mission of its
great past and brilliant present.”
Egypt has little to back up such
an amibtion. But she remains a
force for promoting ferment In the
most sensitive area of the world
today. The interests of Europe end
the United States in keeping the
Near East free from chaos far
outbalance the need to placate
Nassar. The Egyptian President
now has found out that it Is diffi-
cult to bully the West Into giving

in its stride for the third week in

Outside of areas closely con

Saut al Arab — the Voice of
Arabs—marked its third birthday
this month. For three years this
radio agency has been diligently
sticking the needle into the West-
ern Allies throughout the Arab
world.
It hn» poured frenzied words,
calling for rebellion, into Algeria.
It has campaigned against Arab-
French understanding in Moroc-
co It has .belabored the Arabs of
Tunis for reaching an agreement
with the French. It has cam-
paigned violently in Iraq and else-
where against the Baghdad Pact.
One of the principal exhibits of the Third Interna-
tional Food Congress in Rome was an American
supermarket. Complete in every major detail, the mar-
ket was made possible by the joint efforts of a group
of American food chains, at the request of Secretary
of Agriculture Benson.
That market has been praised by Pope Pious XII.
It was, he said, "an invitation to consumers to play a
more active role.” And, he went on, this would pre-
vent "increasing price merchandising—this emphasis
of principle of collaboration implies parallel strength- .
ening of moral sense and responsibility of each one.
Finally, in discussing the relations between producers,
distributors and consumers, the Pope said that
"fraudulent or suspect practices must be eliminated
and promises fulfilled while the calculated risk of
care for the community wellbeing and perfect honesty
should be symbols of good tradesmen.”
We have gone a very long way toward that high
goal in the United States. Merchants, like other men
of business, have found that honesty in labeling, in
advertising, and in all forms of promotion pays. A
cheated consumer does not return—he takes his trade
elsewhere. Thus, competition in itself is a vowerful
force in favor of honesty and good dealing. The mer-
chant who can't or won’t maintain fair standards fails.
’ The capable and honest merchant succeeds.

On the subject of west coast

from a physicist of the California
Institute of Technology in Los An-

he worked calculus problems all

arose In the morning, when driv-

“I couldn’t talk io him because
he would say I was interrrupting

they had to sit together in the

Everybody Has Problems,
But Here’s A Real Toughie
Our sympathy goes out to the men who have to
figure out what to do with all that wheat the govern-
ment owns. Since the Denton County area is a pretty
• important wheat-producing region, we naturally keep
a closer watch on the grain surplus problem than on
other commodities
The problem of these men is that the wheat in
government warehouses keeps piling up at an increas-
ing rate as more and more grain is bought by the
government This costs the taxpayers a lot of. money,
not to mention what it costs government officials in
worry over where to store it all.
V So the first thing that occurred to them was to give
some of it away, charity being usually an applauded
virtue The drawback in this was that in giving away
the wheat they contracted the market for those who
w anted to sell wheat, which meant that the wheat
that couldn’t be sold on the market was sold instead
to the government Which has left government about
where it started.
