NEW YORK (P—"Who wants to -
buy an Easter outfit when (here's
a blizzard howling outside?”
Tills gripe, from a worried De-
troit merchant, sums up pretty
much how retailers feel near the
windup of this Easter shopping
season. ■ • ■
A national Associated Press sur-
vey shows these trends:
Easter sales—blitzed by a com-
bination of blizzards, tornadoes
and floods — have been disappoint-
ing so far.
•’The weather.” says Chairman
Earl Puckett of the giant Allied
Stores Corp., “has knocked East-
er prospects into a cocked hat.”
Along with the weather handi-
cap. merchants have come up
against a new breed of consumer.
This consumer is cagey. Sure, he
has money, and he’ll spend it too.
But he wants top value for what
he pays. And he drives a hard
bargain.
In Detroit for example, his
first choice for an Easter outfit
Is likely to be that old favorite,
the two-pants suit.
There are bright signs too. One
is the booming teen-age market

seemed to be in the best of spirits,

Dry-cold weather is just what
the grain needs,” said Glenn

was in Denton Friday morning.
“It wouldn’t be so good it it start-
ed raining this week-end, as I be-
lieve that considerable damage
would result. The grain, especial-
ly wheat, needs some dry weather.
And when I get to ‘fearing’ about

What has happened to our traditional American
backbone? Why can’t we control our children?
Could it be that our educational methods are to
blame? Are the so-called educational experts wrong?
er to suppress or cross our growing children? <
Today, we are-discovering that neither home nor
school nor courts nor police can control some of our
children. Something’s wrong somewhere. And the
problem is universal. Denton has it the same as New
York City.
We have always had juvenile delinquents and we’ll
continue to have them. But we shouldn’t permit the
minority to bring disrepute upon the majority of their
age group.
Perhaps we are too busy with worldly things. We
are building hydrogen bombs; wo are building sky*
scrapers and jet planes; we are building machines
that perform miracles.
But we have lost the art of building character.
Wo believe this character building must start in the
home. If some ridiculous fear prevents us from exer-
cising authority over the young, how can wo expect
them to be anything but spoiled, belligerent brats?

Teamsters Union
Vies With UAW
As The Biggest
By NORMAN WALKER
WASHINGTON un--Which to the
nation’s biggest labor union? Tike
your pick between the Teamsters
and the Auto Workers.
Per capita payments to the
AFL-CIO indicate the Teamsters
have an edge. but both unions
seem to be in the 1M-million-
membership category.
One Teamsters official said pri-
vately 1.350.000 was “a good
round figure" for his union. Dave
Beck, Teamsters president, used
the figure 1,400,000 in a press re-
lease. Beck also claimed 1M mil-
lion members at various times.
This week the United Auto
Workers has been using 1% mil-
lion as a membership total at its
convention in Atlantic City.
Acurate union membership is
hard to pin down. Some unions
overstate, others understate.
Many play coy. Membership
changes from month to month
among members with seasonal
work.
U. S. Labor Department figures,
though based on the best data
available, are mostly approxima-
tions.
Per capita dues payments to
the parent AFL-CIO are perhaps
the best indicators on actual
membership, excluding Canadian
membership. From the dues It col-
lects. each affiliated union pays
the AFL-CIO 4 cents a month for
each member.
Unions would not likely pay on
more members than they actually
have. The AFL-CIO figures tend
to be conservative too because
unions don't pay per capita on
members temporarily unemployed
or'on strike.
For the teamsters, the average
per capita paid the AFL-CIO dur-
ing the last six months of 1656
was on an American membership
of 1,354.000. For the month of
March alone it wm paid on 1,485,-
000.
For the UAW, the average per
capita for the last half of IBM
was on a membership of 1,173,804.
The yAW paid per capita on 1,-
442.787 in January and on 1,224,-
0M in February, its latest return.
green stamps?" He wm too
stunned to answer. But she said:
“Everybody gives green stamps
nowadays. It's about time you

Another woman tried to deduct
as a medical expense the price
she paid for a Chihuahua puppy, A
neighbor had told her having such
a dog around might cure her
asthmia. And, after the dog ar-
rived, her asthma improved.
One man asked by the revenue
service to verify a big dental ex-
pense. sent back his false teeth
with a note:
“After buying these plates I
gained so much weight the doctor
told me to go on a diet By send-
ing them to you as proof of my
claim I hope to solve two prob'
lems at the same time.”

INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINN., THE DAILY
JOURNAL: "Practical parents, who look years ahead
into the future, know that it is possible to send chil-

Arix.. I'm counting on keeping. It
has to do with the indelible im-
print of the Indian on the com-
munity.
‘I would" hot pretend to an ”
derstanding" of Arizona’s TV,000
Indians. That would require more
than mere compassion. •
But among the Arizona Ameri-
cans who do understand and gen-
uinely respect the Indians, there
is an almost universal disgust with
the way Uncle Sam has neglect-
ed them.
It is not so much a matter of
mbney is a matter of policy. The
administration of Indian affairs re-
quires understanding more than
sympathy.
The ritualistic Hopi Indians, for
example, don't want to be modern-
ized. Americanized. These who
dwell on the high mesas retain an-
cient customs, perpetuate pagan
religious zeal. The Apaches, de-
scendants of Geronimo and Co-
chise. legendary warriors, are to-
day's cattlemen.
The Navajo*. who weave poetry
into silver and blankets and rugs,
are vigorously progressive, will
respond enthusiastically to the
slightest encouragement in that
direction.
And along the spectrum between
the extremes are the 15 tribes,
each with customs and traditions
that must be respected if our as-
sistance is to result in making
them self-sustaining and contribu-
tory citizens rather than wards of
the state, spoon-fed like animato
in the too.
This situation to not resolving
itself. There are 25 per cent more
Indians today than there were 15
years ago. And when you begin to
appreciate the potential of this bas-
ic American race, you instinctive-
ly resent the Federal Govern-
ment’s failure to meet this chal-
lenge.
Especially since we chase
around the world into the musty
corners of civilization, supplying
indoor plumbing to Patagonia, la-
vishing our goods and services on
thankless persons a world away
...yet neglect these home folks.
A decent Point Four program
for these seems to me to be a
first responsibility...Unless we are
to stand before the world court of
public opinion and, for all our vul-
gar, extravagant effort to buy that
jury, find ourselves judged guilty
Big Spenders Wage Offensive
The big spenders have mounted a counteroffensive
against the "economy bloc" in Congress. All the tricks
of the big spenders are being brought into play.
A House official was told that a conference of lesser
bureaucrats in the Interior Department was devoted
to methods of applying appropriation cuts so as to
evoke loudest protest.
The chairman of the House Appropriations Commit-
tee says big spenders organized a telephone campaign
of federal employees, who have been telephoning
members of Congress from many parts of the country
protesting economy.
A succession of Administration officials—headed
by Secretary of Labor Mitchell—are asking the Senate
to restore appropriations which the House reduced.
Whether this counteroffensive will break the back
of the Impressive economy drive from "back home"
is at present uncertnin-
