Like I wrote the other day. the dear ladies have
just about cornered the market for tub thumpers and
the results thereof are sometimes startling.
For example, the news release which I intercepted
on its way to our women’s pages It came from Sara
- Marshal' whose job is to promote good will and better
sales figures for a Dallas dry goods store known as
Neiman-Marcus
Our reader who wrote the recent letter
to the editor about the Polish and American
hams.she had found side by side on the shelf
of. a supermarket had a good point.
We agree that serious questions can be
raised about the fact that this country is
doing business with nations which are linked
to the Communist conspiracy for enslav-
ing us.
We agree that it is distasteful to any
patriotic American to encounter evidence
that farm products can be shipped from a
Communist country overseas and sold for
less money than domestic products.
At the same time, we would point out-
that as far as the matter of comparable
prices is concerned, it simply demonstrates
that the Communists are outstripping us in
the socialization of agriculture

When the Estes case first broke, there wes a lot of
big talk that this was the beginning of the end for
farm controls by government At last the evils of
acreage allotments, marketing quotas, subsidies and
grain storage payments had been' exposed. All farm
programs would soon be ended and at last American
agriculture would be free. So it was said.
It now appears that the greatest irregularity in the
Billie Sol Estes operations under government farm pro-
grams was in the juggling of cotton allotment He
found loopholes in the government regulations and he
made millions through them.
But the new farm legislation as passed by both
Senate and House doesn't even mention the word
"cotton."
Several cotton bills have been introduced in this
session. to change the present program. But indications
are now that none of them will be acted on this year.
So the old acreage allotments and marketing controls
will remain in force for next year unless the Depart-
ment of Agriculture can change its own regulations.
What Senate- and House actions show, however, is
that Congress is by no means ready to junk the whole
price support system with rigid controls on production.
It is still too early to say what is going to be in the
final farm legislation emerging from conferences be-
tween Senate and House Agriculture Committee mem-
. bers. They must work out a compromise between the
two widely differing measures.
It is now admitted by Department of Agriculture
officials that administration of existing farm programs
by committees of farmers is too complex. The regu-
lations are extremely complicated. The wonder is that
the system had not broken down long before the Billie
Sol Estes case ever came along.
Recognizing this weakness, Agriculture Secretary
Orville L. Freeman has had a 10-man committee work-
WASHINGTON (NEA)-Most significant fact about
the new farm legislation just approved by the Senate
is that it contains not ofie section which was in any
way influenced by Billie' Sol Estes case investiga-
tors. disclosures and scandals.
The same thing is true of the farm bill passed
earlier by the House. Rep. Ross Bass, D-Tenn., did get
an amendment on the original House farm .bill which
would have provided penalties for offering gifts to in-
fluence the administration of farm programs.
But this bill was recommitted by a five-vote ma-
jority in the House. In the second farm bill which
came before the House, the Bass proposal was killed
on a day when the congressmen voted on the floor to
drop all amendments to the main provisions.
To repeat, therefore, 1962 farm legislation as it
stands today does nothing to correct any of the
wrongs Billie Sol Estes may have been guilty of.

Claude Wickard and Charles F. Brannan Dr. Joseph
Hadja of Kansas State is heading the staff. It hopes
to submit a report by the end of September on how
the committee system and regulations can bit
simplified. .
In this connection, It- la recalled that nearly every
Democratic and Republican party platform has for
years called for "a farm program run by farmers " at
the grass roots level and not by the bureaucrats in
Washington. »
It sounds wonderful in a political speech in the
farm belts. But the system which Billie Set Estes

NNEW YORK (AP) - The furor
over whether mutual, funds are
managed to the small investor's
greatest benefit points up yet an-
other angle of the securities busi-
ness—the growing dominance of
financial institutions in the corpo-
rate field.
Mutual funds, pension funds,
foundations, insurance companies,
personal trusts, college endow-
ment funds and the like, all are
steadily increasing their share of
outstanding common stock in the
larger and more prominent cor-
porations—whether blue chip or
growth.
Since the 17 million‘individuals
who own shares rarely hold a
large percentage per person in
any one company, the influence
of the big institttional investors
grows more important each year.
Traditionally the funds have
stressed that they do not interfere
in corporate management. - The
publicly stated policy is to switch
holdings if a company'% future
looks doubtful or its management
ill-advised. But there have of late
been a few instances when large
institutional holders have ques-

Nevertheless, there is much that is solid and good
in this headlong advance. We have a right to be
proud of the science and the industry that makes it
possible. We should be thankful for the material re-
sources that give us the "wherewithal.”

The phenomenal popularity of
the mutual funds—total assets
soaring from $1.5 billion in 1948 to
$19.5 billion today—has meant a
growing ownership by these finan-
cial institutions of common stocks
in U.S. industry, -although total
assets also include other forms of
investment.
Pension funds have grown as
fast or faster. And they have

There is probably no city in the United
States of comparable size and econmic sit-
uation which owes as little money on tax
bonds as Orange.
Because of that, only about $1 out of each
$9 of its revenue from property taxes during
the coming fiscal year will be needed for
debt service.
This is -vastly important in connection
with the proposed new city budget. It means
the level of our municipal services will be
somewhat above average in proportion to
our city tax bills.
' Still, as Mayor Martin Thomen pointed ,
out to us, it does not mean we can have all
the things which our citizens and their
elected representatives on the council be-
lieve we should have.
"Providing everything would have meant
a stiff increase in city .taxes. And this would
have come in a year when, the Orange School
District found it necessary to raise its tax
rate.
The decision of the council was not to in-
crease the municipal tax rate. This left the
problem of deciding what to include in the •
new budget and what to leave out.
City Mgr. Archie Walker, his department
heads, and the councilmen have worked long
and hard in the effort to come up with a
good solution to this problem. We believe a
big majority of our municipal taxpayers will
agree that they have done well.
4 Ilie most noteworthy achievement, in
our opinion, was that they made provisions
for pay increases for a majority of the city’s
employes These are long overdue, particu-
larly in the case of the policemen and fire-
men.
Another outstanding feature of the pro-
posed new budget is tht it lays the ground-
work for a new tax bond issue which can
be financed without an increase in the city
tax rate.
Improvements contemplated with the
proposed new bond issue are sorely needed.
But it will be up to the taxpaying voters.to
say, in an election early next year, whether
they will be provided all at once or on a
piecemeal basis.
If the decision is for, all at" once, certain
revenues will be allocated to the bond sink-
ing fund. If it is the reverse, this money will
continue to be used for. permanent improve-
ments on a year-to-year basis.
Still another important feature of the
proposed new city budget is' that it antici-
pates an exceptionally high 94 per cent col-
lection of current property taxes. This figure
is justified by the fact that in each of the
preceding four years collections have run
above 95 per cent.
We have looked over the new budget
from the standpoint of a substantial tax-
payer as well as from the viewpoint- of the
private citizen In both respects it is an
eminently satisfactory document and we
corhmend all those who had a hand in
making it so.
As we have commented before, the only
basic difference between the American
farm program and the Communist farm
program is that’ ours was conceived in the
name of democracy. . 4
But there is a great deal of difference in
the amounts added by taxes to the price of
a ham or any other farm product between
the time it leaves the'producer and the time
it reaches the consumer ‘ »
If the federal taxes—direct and indirect
which went to help finance our socialized
farm program had been removed from the
price tag on the American Kam it no doubt
would have undersold the Communist ham.
And if American hams could be sold for
less than Communist hams there wouldn't
be any of the latter on our supermarket
shelves in the first place. '

The missing element appears to be spiritual—and
moral.
Very convincing arguments can be made that man
today. in this country and elsewhere. is probably no
less moral on balance than in past 'times. But his
greater numbers make the weight and impact of his
transgressions more damaging.
It is hardly persuasive, in these circumstances,
to hear that things are about as always. The ques-
tion is whether we can tolerate the “standard"
measure of moral laxity when it bulks so large kt

In further pursuit of his theories, this fellow Laver
bravely invades the field of women's wear, so asto
make a point, with these words'
“Fashion (as women interpret it) sums up all the
subterranean tendencies, the social trends the eco-
nomic conditions, even the religious aspirations of the
time, and it can't help doing this whatever fashion
designers may intend or women may think they
want to wear."
He defines the chic woman as one "whose clothes
are the embodiment of - contemporary seductiveness.
It must be contemporary because that is the whole
essence of the matter The seductiveness of yesterday
is mere dowdiness; the seductiveness of the day be-
fore yesterday hideous and replusive "
Without saying whether he is married or a bache-
lor. Laver adds that “It is a question of style of
contemporary seductiveness known as fashion, and
men are susceptible to the seduction of fashion."
But he continues. "Men look dowdy because
Women s most fundamental instinct is not the attrac-
tiveness of the male. as such, but the safetv'of the
breed For that purpose, the man with the most to
offer is not the biggest or strongest man, as in primitive
communities, but the socially superior man."
Well press my 'jumper and iron my overalls. All
these years I’ve been under the impression that Mama
married me for my good looks and the pair of sharp-
toed shoes that put the corn on my little toe while
I was courting her.
And the part of his statement about the contemporary
neductiveness of fashion and male susceptibility to it,
that don t quite fit either
I seem to remember that the day I proposed to
Mama she was sick in bed with a fever and I
don t know what she was wearing besides a sheet.
I was in Miss Marshalls emporium a few
months ago Didn’t spend any money but did learn
that if you have the price it will sell you anything
from ermine-trimmed underwear to a secondhand
churn,
it also sells such mundane items of men's wear
as shoes, socks, shirts and suits. But since I have
always found these things to be in plentiful supply
on the shelves of Orange merchants who buy the
advertising that finances my pay checks, that didn't
interest me.
Yet I was quite interested in Miss Marshall's news
release because it said us men—alone at all creation
—are content to take second plac and leave the glory
tn our mates when it comes to attire.
That isn't the lady tub thumper s own thinking She.
was quoting one James Laver, a British subject de-
scribed as "the world's most famous fashion historian "
According to this fellow, the willingness of men to
play second fiddle to their spouses in the matter of
clothing is "most astonishing—especially when you
consider it‛s quite new"
He continues. The Elizabethan gallant was at
least as gaily dressed as his lady love. The velvet
and silk coat, of the men of the 18th century were
smothered with embroidery — their hats draped in
gold lace.
"It is only modem man in his dull lounge suit,
his mackintosh and his nondescript soft felt hat who
is content to be 'a colorless phantom—a pale shadow
of his former magnificence."
Any American who moves across this land today
from region to region, and city to "city cannot help
but be immensely impressed by the countless signs
of advancing change. , •
Dozens of airports seem as new as fresh paint.
New houses sprout in vast numbers. shopping centers
crop up to serve them, great highways slash through
the countryside and urban zones in city centers, daz-
zling modern office structures and apartments rise in
pace with this outer growth.
