The fireside club has about turn-

warm days, however a few of the
oldtimers stick with the basement
headquarers. At a recent meet-
ing, the members decided that -
they should have a fifty per cent
raise in their salaries. They agreed
that if Congress could raise their
salaries by 50 per cent they saw
no reason why they shouldn't get
a boost in salary. In recent meet-
ings there has developed some
criticism about-she attitude of
some of the members. To get to
the bottom of he trouble, Prexy
Kerr decided that there should be
a ’grievance committee' appoint-

TOKYO ( - A scientist today
offered what he called proof that
Russian atomic tests caused
many of the radioactive rains in
Japan from August through De-
cember last year.
Dr. Yasuo Miyake of the Weath-
er Research Institute gave these
reasons for his conclusion in a pa-
per entitled “radioactive Rains in
Japan”:
1. Winds from the north were
highly radioactive after the report-
ed Soviet atomic testa in Siberia
in mid-September 1954.
2. The radioactive substances
were traced through research on
air currents to north central and
northeastern areas of Siberia.
5. Analysis showed the radioac-
tive elements contained lantha-
num 140, tellurium 132 and iodine
131. all of which lose radioactivity
rather rapidly, indicating the
tests were recent
4. Rains on the Japan Sea coast
were most radioactive during the
period than those on the Pacific
coast of Japan — just the reverse
of the situation fallowing the U.S.
Bikini Atoll test last March 1.
—is Uvalde, where former Vice
President John . Nance Garner
grows chickens and pecans.
In 1953 1,496 pounds of burley
were harvested from one farm of
nine-tenths an acre and 436 pounds
from another farm of two-tenths
an acre.
Kentucky's crop averages 1,525
pounds per acre—or 1,326 pounds
per nine-tenths an acre.

in 1933, Rep. Clark Thompson
of Galveston had a lot of business
to do, with an Army captain who
was' aide to Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur. The junior officer was
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
That relationship in which
Thompson was pushing passage of
legislation to increase the size of
the Army to 165,000 from 117,000
men, has continued over the years.
The latest evidence of how that
relationship has stood Thompson
in good stead came when a dele-
gation representing small family-
size cotton farms in Fayette and
Lavaca counties came up to urge
increases in cotton acreage allot-
ments.
Getting White House appoint-
ments for constituents is difficult,
even for leading Republican con-
gressmen. Thompson telephoned a
White House aide the visiting Tex-
ans would like to present their
problem personally to. President
Eisenhower.
A few hours later the White
House aide called back, saying the
President was leaving town the
next day and would it be possible
for the group to come at once.
Minutes later they were escorted
in to tell Elsenhower their prob-
lems.
Dixie Frogs Keep Accent
“Frogs and toads not only converse with one an-
- other—they also develop regional accents." •
This pungent declaration, informing us that Dixie
toads ululate from the swamps in that old-time Con-
federate drawl, would have gladdened the heart of
Senator Claghorn. It will be recalled that the Senator
—a Southern statesman sprung full-blown from the
imagination of Comedian Fred Allen—was, in his col-
lege days, voted “the member of the senior class most
likely to secede,” and was graduated “magnolia cum
laude."
The above-mentioned scientific tidings concerning
the accents of frogs and toads came from no less an
authority than Dr. W. Frank Blair, of Texas, who ex-
pressed these arresting thoughts to the American In-
• stitute of Biological Scientists in convention assembled
at the University of Florida.
. ..... Inotherwords, whe la tailless., amphibian,
of the genus "Rana" desires to chat with a tailless,
leaping amphibian of the genus “Bufo," in the Okefen-
J okee Swamp, the accents are those of Dixie, sprinkled
with “You-alls." No rolling of “r’s, ” no sounding of
final "g s" in such a conversation. If the shade of
Genl Beauregard or Genl Forrest should happen
along, he would doubtless conclude that he was in the
middle of hi® own regiment.
• It is reassuring that in these parlous days, when so
many long-established customs are going by the board,
so many sturdy principles are heading down the drain,
pure-blooded Southern frogs and toads are keeping
their native Southern accents. It is something to ding
to in a world gone haywire.

If you do, Kay Stanley thinks
you may bo making a big mistake.
One of the top woman manufac-
turers in this field, she feels Amer-
ica’s booming billion-dollar-a-year
toy industry has “gone culture
crazy." She'd like to put the em-
phasis to toys back on their fun
value, not their so-called educa-
tional or instructive value.
"I wish children were rich
enough to buy their own toys,’’
i she said vigorously. "You'd see a
big change overnight- if children,
instead of parents or psychologists,
could pick the toys they really
wanted.
"It’s about time we let children’s
minds alone—at least while they’re
| playing. We beat them over the
head with teaching toys until the
only play the poor little things
really enjoy is watching television,
r Even then they pick up a little
learning—such as how to hold a
gun or rob a bank.

mould toy with which children
could cast plaster figures, then
paint them with* water colors.
She cooked up her first batch of
crude rubber on her own kitchen
stove. The first year she grossed
114,000. Now she has 300 employes,
occupies five floors of a Chicago
factory sells two million dollars
worth of toys a year.
Her biggest money-making idea,
launched to 1953, was a toy cake
mix set, using real food, for chil-

Hoover Report Would
Trim Federal Paper Work
If yours is an average American family it costs you
the neat sum of $100 a year just to pay your share of
• the paperwork done by the federal government.
That is one of the startling facts produced in a
newly-published Hoover Commission report, which
goes into the paperwork problem in detail and makes
certain recommendations for reorganization and re—-
form. ***7^', a _____
Everyone who has served in one of the armed forces
has had personal experience with the extent and com-
plexity of government record keeping and other paper-
work. It has been the subject of innumerable jokes
and anecdotes. But it’s no laughing matter, when
considered in the light of its cost in time, effort and
money; And, while this is a problem of some magni-
tude in industry as well, it seems that it has reached
its most acute and wasteful form in the huge federal
establishment.
As a result of a prior Hoover Commission study,
changes were made in methods of handling govern*
ment records that have saved nearly $35,000,000 in a
single year. But that notable effort has touched upon
only a relatively small portion of the government’s
- paperwork activity. According to this new report, the
J government creates and handles some 25,000,000,000
pieces of paper each year, not counting that used in
manuals, pamphlets, and the like. This requires the
services of more than 750,000 full-time employes. And
it costs $4,000,000,000 a year--which, by way of com-
parison, is about equal to the whole federal budget prior
to 22 years ago! ,
The paperwork takes various forms. Some 18,000,-
000,000 of the sheets are printed or mimeographed;
more than 100,000,000 are individual letters—and to
write these costs $1,000,000,000 or a dollar each. The
government has hundreds of millions of dollars invest-
ed in office equipment, and office space for the paper-
work employes costs $180,000,000 annually. There
are more than 24.000,000 cubic feet of federal agency
. records—which, the report observes, are enough to fill
seven buildings the size of the Pentagon.
The increase in paperwork came, of course, with
the enormous growth of the government in recent
yean. And, in some instances at least, the paperwork
grew far faster. In 1912 writing of individual letters
per government employe totaled 55; now it totals
about 522 a year. In addition to the cost in money, the
volume of paperwork imposed upon top federal em-
ployes interferes with their basic responsibilities. The
report finds that this paperwork, along with various
laws and regulations, makes these positions far more
difficult than those of the top officers of large corpora-
tions.
At the end the report makes a number of specific
suggestions for cutting down on the paperwork and
effecting other allied reforms. It estimates that sav-
