Looking Back Through Record-Chronicle Files
Dear Sir:
When H. L. Hunt (one of the
world’s richest men and a Texas
oilman) came out for the Demo-
cratic ticket of Kennedy and John-
son last Thursday, it shows how
flukey the argument about deple-
tion allowance in the oil industry
has been as put out by the Nixon
camp.
Wise County oilmen who live in
Denton and try to tell Denton vot-
ers how to vote, should take Mr.
Hunt’s example and vote Democra-
tic and quit trying to fool the peo-
ple about the depletion allowance.

Through A G1ass Darkly
Workers at the National Capital Housing Authority,
a federal agency in Washington, are cheered to learn
that the windows of their headuarters will be washed.
They haven’t been washed in seven years.
The cleanliness lag was due to the fact that the
NCHA thought the General Services Administration
should pay for the washing, and the GSA thought the
NCHA should.
Now the parties concerned are considering who
ought to pay for painting the offices, which hasn’t
been done in seven years, either.
Those who are looking to Washington to lead us all
quickly to greater activity, or provide medical care for
us, or solve school problems may be discouraged by
this example.
We’ll reserve seeking Washington help until those
offices get painted.

Bright Moonlight
While there are more than three million unemploy-
ed in the United States today, figures released by the
Labor Department reveal that there are also about
three million people who hold down more than one
job.
At the time the survey was made, there were actual-
ly 2.5 million men who held down two or more jobs,
while there were 2.2 million unemployed men. And
those with two jobs weren’t hogging them—the unem-
ployed men mostly were in the wrong place or didn’t
have the proper skills to hold the jobs that were avail-
able to the moonlighters.
Many industrial communities are tackling their un-
employment problems by setting up training programs
for those lacking skills or possessing skills no longer
in demand. When they have trained workers nearing
competency, they seek out industries that can employ
them.
For it is true that even with moderate unemploy-
ment today, good workers are hard to find in many
trades. The problem will have to be solved individual
by individual rather than with any crash program.
What good does it do to “create jobs" if the unemploy'
ed are not equipped to take them?

Facing You On Tuesday
IT IS NO CREDIT to Texas that four state consti-
tutional amendments will face you when you vote in
the general election Tuesday.
Fact of the matter is that the Texas constitution
is so outdated, few even realize what it says or doesn’t
say. And because it is so detailed, we must go through
the expense of voting on four proposed amendments
again this year.
It is little wonder that none of the four proposed
amendments has generated much interest in the light
of the hectic presidential race.
Briefly, here are the four amendments and how
this newspaper feels about them:
NO 1—Approval of this one would authorize the
Legislature to create a hospital district in Lamar and
Hidalgo counties and in Precinct 4 of Commanche
County. This is purely a permissive amendment and
will have no effect on anyone outside those counties.
But if residents of those three counties are to create
the hospital districts they want, all of Texas has got
to give its approval to the Legislature to allow this
to come about This is similar to previous amend-
ments when Dallas and Amarillo, among others, were
allowed-to do the same thing. M won’t cost anyone a
cent except those in the counties involved. It deserves
approval by the voters.
NO 2—Approval of this would authorize the Vet-
erans Land Board to issue bonds at a rate not to ex-
ceed 3% per cent per year. This is another technical-
lity, and it probably deserves approval by the voters.
NO. 3—Approval of this would allow an annual
salary not to exceed $4,800 per year and a daily al-
lowance not to exceed $12 per day for the first 120
days for state legislators. It would also limit the reg-
ular legislative session to 140 days. The issue of an-
nual salaries for legislators has been voted on more
than once and always vetoed by the voters, perhaps
because the figure had seemed to be high. The legisla-
tors now are on a daily pay scale that barely pays for
the cost of campaigning for the office. Higher salaries
do not necessarily mean the jobs will attract better
men, but approval of this amendment probably would
help.
NO. 4—Approval of this would give the Legislature
authority to classify loans and lenders, license and reg-
ulate lenders, define interest and fix maximum rates
of interest. It also would provide for a maximum in-
terest rate of 10 per cent per year in the absence of
legislation fixing maximum rates of interest. In other
words, this is the so-called loan shark law of Atty. Gen.
Will Wilson. It’s meant to drive the loan sharks out
of Texas, but other states passing similar legislation
have found it doesn’t always work that way. We be-
lieve this proposed amendment should be defeated.
So. in a nutshell, it’s our opinion that Amendments
1, 2 and 3 probably deserve approval; Amendment No.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-
dent Eisenhower’s tactics against
Sen. John F. Kennedy vary in his
campaign effort to help Vice Pres-
ident Richard M. Nixon win the
presidency.
He has played it hot, and he
has played it cool. Cool is more

forms to the cause of education.
"Education is not a luxury, nor
a gift to be bestowed upon our-
sieves and our children. Education
is an investment, our schools
cannut become second best. Each
persons posesses the right to ed-
ucation — it is his birthright in a

lican platform.

gram. The 1948-57 Average corn
production was 3,251,064 bushels.
The 1959 production of corn was
4,361,170. In comparison the 1948-
57 average production of wheat
was 1,075,391. The 1959 production
of wheat was 1,128,151. Lack of a
fair price for corn has resulted in
a situation of farmers having to
increase production to meet over
all operating costs. On the other
hand, wheat farmers have voted
overwhelmingly to bring produc-
tion toward balance in exchange
for price support. 'Source: Crop

Allegation 3: Democratic farm
programs cost too much.
Answer Fact: The Eisenhower-
Nixon - Benson team has spent
more on agriculture programs
than all its predecessors combin-
ed — more than $30 billion. The
record shows they have spent
more and helped the farmers less
than in history.
Allegation 4: Increased farm in-
come will be costly to consumers.
Answer Fact: During the period
from 1951 to 1959. farmers’ gross
income has fallen from $38.5 bil-
lion to $37.8 billion, or a drop of
two per cent. During this same
period, consumer expenditures for
food have increased from $46.4 bil-
lion to $58.2 billion, marketing
charges have increased from $26.4
billion to $38.4 billion, and t h e
farmers share of the food dollar
has shrunk from 43 cents to 34
cents. Farm gate prices appear to
have little to do with consumer
food costs at retail.
Allegation 5: Farmers are do-
ing better under Eisenhower, Nix-
on and Benson.
Answer Fact: In 1959 farmers
constituted 12 per cent of the na-
tional population and received 3
per cent of national income. Total
farm debt was $14 billion in 1952
and is now $20.8 billion. (Source:
USDA and Joint Economic Com-
mittee data.)
Allegation 6: The loss of 800,000
farms between 1952 and 1959 is
healthy in that most of these have
been marginal in nature, ineffici-
ent in their operation.
Answer Fact: Out of the 800,000
farms lost since 1952, 673,000. or
nearly seven out pf eight, have
been those qualifying as active
proprietors devoting a major por-
tion of their time to their farm
business.
These are but a few of the facts
setting the record straight. Un-
der this “great team" Eisenhow-
i tional Starch Products 368 per
cent, Quaker Oats 81 per cent.
Farmers have known for many
years that Republicans are only
interested in big business middle-
men and care little for the farmer
and the consumer.
Election of Kennedy - Johnson
will return to the executive branch
a party which has successfully
lifted the farm economy to par-
ity without indefensible costs to
the consumer or the tax payer.
Farmers, check the recrd and
you will find both John F. Kenne-
dy and Lyndon B. Johnson have
a 100 per cent voting record for
good farm programs. They did
not vote for the middlemen spon-
sored Republican Farm Bureau
program and that is the reason I
will vote for Kennedy-.! o h n i o n

the past such almost forgotten
names as Blakley. Jack Cox, "cra-
zy water" Collins, et al.
It is the same old crowd, just

Don’t dismay. Progress will win

JOHN CUDD
605 S, Locust, Denton
Last Friday night in Philadel-
phia he scalded Kennedy a bit,
although without mentioning his
name In his Wednesday night
speech in New York Eisenhower
used a cool feather duster.
The former had a touch of the
campaign he himself made
against Adlai Stevenson in 1952.
The latter was like his campaign
against Stevenson in 1956.
That coil technique—which real-
ly means don’t be to harsh on
the man—has worked extremely
well for Eisenhower throughout
his presidency. Still, it’s question-
able whether this is the right tech-
nique to help Nixon now.
DIRECT ATTACK
What may be needed from Ei-
senhower at this time—if he is
going to swing any votes when
polls are saying Kennedy is ahead
—is a slashing, direct attack on
the senator. The Nixon camp re-
portedly would prefer that.
In Philadelphia, in statements
which could be considered aimed
at Kennedy without naming him,
Eisenhower spoke against "arro-
gance." "rashness” "irresponsi-
bility." None of this was in his
New York speech He made only
one allusion to Kennedy—his con-
tention that-American prestige has
dwindled.
If a successful politician can be
described as a man who knows
how to stay highly popular while
getting himself re-elected, then
Eisenhower is one of the master
politicians of the 20th century.
The proof is his overwhelming
victories, without any previous
role in politics, in 1952 and 1956.
There are some who think he
would beat Nixon or Kennedy ens-
ily right now if he could run for
a third term •
PERSONAL MATTERS
But one of the secrets of his
pilitical success has been his abil-
ity to stay out of personal em-
broilments One way of doing it
is to avoid personal attacks. To
put it another way, to attack with-
out name-calling.
Eisenhower has made a career
of that technique in the presiden-
cy. This has pretty much com-
pelled anyone, with an inclination
to attack him personally, to lay
off.
The greater part of Kennedy’s
campaign has been based on criti-
cism of Eisenhower’s administra-
tion. But Kennedy does not name
the President and has carefully
avoided any direct conflict with
him.
This works both ways, of course,
and may have a discouraging ef-
fect on any” Eisenhower inclina-
tion to get savage with Kennedy.
Where does that leave Nixon in
these last few days before elec-
tion when apparently he feels the
greatest need for Eisenhower to
demolish Kennedy, if he can?
He seems caught in the middle
between two political techniques—
Eisenhower’s and Kennedv’s—
which call for wounding without
blood-letting
It seems fair to conclude—judg-
ing from the way Eisenhower
toned down his New York speech
after the one in Philadelphia—that
while the President wants to help
Nixon, his campaign for him will
be something short of all-out.
Double Talk On
Editorial Pages
Dear Sir:
Newspapers and magazines
which support Nixon for president
are doing the double talk on the
editorial pages, and that includes
the Record-Chronicle. Along with
90 per cent of them, you sav you
want a man of "experience" in the
White House. You are the same
papers and periodicals which sup-
ported Wendell Wilkie, who never
held public office, against Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, who had been
President for eight years: indeed,
the same press which backed Tho-
mas E. Dewey after he had serv-
ed only two years as a state gov-
ernor against Roosevelt who,. by
then, had been in the White House
for 12 years.
Yes, I have confidence in peo-
ple to recognize the facts and
choose the Democratic ticket of
Kennedy and Johnson which will
represent all segments of our ec-
onomy in preferance to one only
favorable to big business, which
the press is.

By ROBERT B. ANDERSON
Behind the names on ballots this
week lie history - making isues
platform puts it this way: “Am-
erica. One of the most important
of these issues — education — is
receiving special attention this
week during American Education
Week.
Education for the future is a
question which affects each state
of the union, and each citizen in
each state.
Both major parties have com-
greatest resources for the future.
Each of them deserves the educa-
tion which will best develop his
potentialities."
A close scrutiny of the particu-
lars, however, shows some impor-
tant differences in methods pro-
posed by the parties for support
of education at all levels.
One obvious difference appears
in the matter of providing federal
aid to education — parimary, sec-
ondary and higher. The Democrats
prefer grants — the Republicans
matching funds programs. Both
favor local control of schools and
colleges.
The Democratic platform says,
"We believe that America can
meet its education obligations on-
ly with generous federal financial
support within the traditional
framework of. local control. The
assistance will take the form of
federal grants to states for educa-
tional purposes the states deem
most pressing, including class-
room construction and teachers’
salaries. This aid will include
funds for the construction of aca-
demic facilities as well as dormi-
tories at colleges and universities.”
THE REPUBLICAN PLAT-
FORM gives "primary responsi-
bility for education to the local
community and the state.” The
federal government, it says,
should assist selectively in
strengthening education without
interfering with local control at
the schools. Closely related to this
is the Republican stand against
provision of federal funds for
teacher salaries. The party would
make federal money avavilable
through loans and matching grants
for construction of classrooms,
laboratories, libraries and college
housing.
Both candidates. Sen. John Ken-
nedy and Vice President Richard
Nixon, have spoken out for . in-
creased aid to students — and
both are concerned that this aid
benefit students in the humanities
as well as those in the sciences.
The Republicans have proposed
a change in tax laws to help fam-
ilies of students pay for their ed-
ucation.
Sen Kennedy said, in regard to
that. "The size of the govern-
ment’s revenues over the next
decade is going to be a crucial
matter for the nation as a whole,
and rather than take the tax-de-
duction route of easing the finan-
cial strain on the student and his
family, I would hope that the other
aid measures I have described
would suffice.”
BOTH CANDIDATES have
suggested the extension and en-
largement of the National Defense
Education Act. Nixon favors addi-
tional federal student loan pro-
grams and graduate fellowship
programs. Kennedy favors a fed-
eral - state cooperative scholar-
ship program with costs to be
split between the federal govern-
ment and the states.
There is general agreement,
too, on support of vocational edu-
cation and improved adult educa-
tion, and on the establishment of
a permanent Commission on Edu-
cation to advise the president and
the Secretary of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare. Both candidates
have gone on record favoring
changes in the unpopular loyalty
oath which is required of students
under certain provisions of the
National Defense Education Act,
Regardless of which candidate
is elected Tuesday, the role of the
federal government in higher edu-
cation will be largely determined
in the coming decade. Educators
must decide whether they will
participate fully and constructive-
ly in making that decision. .
AS ONE NATIONALLY promi-
nent educator warned recently:
"If my combined experiences in
higher education and in govern-
ment have taught me anything,
it is that active involvement in
ship, an abdication of responsibil-
public policy must not be regard-
ed as beneath the dignity of edu-
cators. The view that higher edu-
cation must not get involved in
politics is too simple a view of
life at this stage of the 20th Cen-
tury. Failure to deal with educa-
tional issues when and where
they arise and are resolved, con-
stitutes an abnegation of leader-
ship. an abeication of responsibil-
ity." (Distributed by Southern Re-
gion Education Board).

Dear Sir:
I have watched with interest the
speeches of Mr. Nixon and other
Republicans during the past three
months. I wish to set the record
straight concerning agriculture.
For nearly eight years, the Re-
publican party and Farm Bureau
have been telling the people that
the American farmer was doing
all right, that the income losses
were temporary, that the exodus
of farm families from the land
was inevitable and a stabilizing
process.
This eight • year - old "brain
wash” program is part of the
campaign in the coming election.
The Republican party and Mr.
ceipts, which reached an all time
high in current dollars in 1958, as
evidence that agriculture is in
good shape
Yet let’s look at the record of
the eight years of the Republican
Administration.
Allegation 1: Farmers are doing
better than ever as witnessed by
the $46 billion record gross re-
ceipts per year.
Answer Fact: The only valid
measurement of how well individ-
uals are doing is not in terms of
gross receipts, but in terms of
v hat is left for family living al-
ter all input costs have been met.
In 1951, per farm net income av-
eraged $),173. Latest available
gures (first six months, I960, an-
nual rate seasonally adjusted)
show present net farm income at
$2,485 — a 22 per cent cut in per
farm net income. (Source: Econo-
mic Indicators, published by the
Presidents Council of Economic
Advisors)
Allegation 2: That Democratic
farm programs caused the piling
up of unmanageable surpluses
Answer Fact: A graphic illus-
tration of the error of this assump-
tion is a look at production fig-
ures for corn which, without a
workable control - price program,
has been forced into an all • out
production basis, and wheat
