Good news
An East Texas area which pins its econom-
ic hopes firmly to the coat tails of Lone Star
Steel Company can find reassurance in the
newest interim financial report to stockhold-
ers.
It was not many months ago that there
was pessimism throughout the area.
Market conditions were depressed, new
departments were not beyond the shakedown
stage, and a new president, George A. Wilson,
had taken over leadership of the company.
His policies of cost reduction and increas-
ed efficiency were watched nervously by work-
ers and businessmen alike.
The report, out last week end, should an-
swer some of the questions and dispel some of
the fears regarding the area's biggest single
payroll source.
The plant's operating rate the first half of
1963 was down to 71 per cent from 83 per cent
for the first half of 1962. The sales volume for
the two periods was almost identical.
Earnings this year, however, were $1,443,-
000 compared with only $560,000 for the first
six months of last year.
Cost reduction and increased efficiency
made the difference.
For the same reasons, net income during
the second quarter this year was $1,107,000
compared to only $420,000 in the second three
months last year.
The figures are a strong indication that
Lone Star Steel is approaching, or has reached,
a position of stability which will allow it to op-
erate profitably at levels considerably below
boom conditions.
With our strong ties to the plant's econo-
my, this is good news.

The Inevitable Result
SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Wants to reward cierk who
lost huge grain shipment
(Editor's Note: The Sage of
Sulphur Botton on his John-
son Grass farm has an answer
to the farm problem this week,
however odd.)
Dear editar:
The trouble with some of the
people in Washington is that
they don't know a good thing
when they see it. They're so
bogged down in solving prob-
lems they don't recognize a
solution when it comes along.
As I understand it, this coun-
try recently lost 24 million
bushels of surplus grain. We
shipped it to Austria and it
never did get there, or if it
did nobody over there remem-
bers receiving it. It just dis-
appeared.
All right. Now what hap-
pens? Why a bunch of Senat-
ors are trying to appropriate
$100,000 to investigate the
matter.

Here we've found the per-
fect system of getting rid of
an embarrassing, tax-eating
surplus, just put it in ships
and let it disappear, eliminat-
ing all the storage cnarges etc.
and somebody wants to spend
$100,000 to get it back.
I don't understand this.
What those Senators ought to
be doing is erecting a moun-
ment to the Unknown Clerk
who lost 24 million bushels
of surplus grain. The last thing
they want to do is investigate
and find out who did it. When
you ge a situation like that,
leave it aione and hope more
and more grain will disappear
until the warehouses are emp-
ty and demand gets within an
arm's length of supply.
Of all the ideas I've heard
for getting rid of the surplus,
none can equal the brilliant
work of the clerk who lost the
24 million bushels. I say leave
him alone, turn him loose, give
him a map of all the ware-
houses throughout the nation
and open up a hot line be-
tween him and whoever it was
in Austria he sent the stuff to,
and let the Senate recess till
the farm problem is solved.
After all, there's a new crop
of grain coming in this year
and if we don't get those ware-
houses empty, where're we go-
ing to store it?
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
