from a successful man named Bernard Baruch:
“Be polite, prepare yourself for whatever you
arc asked to do, keep yourself tidy, be cheerful,
don’t be envious, be honest with yourself so you
will be honest with others, be helpful, interest
yourself in your job, don’t pity yourself, be quick
to praise, be loyal to your friends, avoid preju-
dice, be independent, interest yourself in poli-
tics and read the newspapers’”.
Of course, wc underwrite all of it. especially
the last phrase. It points up the fact, does this
last phrase, that the daily newspaper is still the
biggest bargain available to Americans today in
terms of furnishing information, ideas, enter-
tainment, inspiration and useful data of all kinds.
There are 1.738 English-languagos daily news-
papers in the United States and their circulation
tops 56 million copies per day. They stand for
progress, for freedom and for the welfare of
the invidual. They are essential to all of us in
so many ways it is impossible to list all the
ways. Among other things, as Bernard Baruch
says, they are essential to success, not only to
the advertiser who uses them to find customers
but to all who arc awake and aware of the op-
portunity that exist today.

WASHINGTON. I). C —May 16
I'lie stockholders reports of
big corporations usually make
dull reading But the reports of
the major oil companies this
spring make fascinating reading.
They slum that the Suez
Canal fiasco may have put the
skids under Britain as an em-
pire hut it made beautiful
music in the cash registers of
the big American oil companies.
I he> reaped millions from Bri-
tain's tragedy at Suez.
The oil companies had been
asked by the Eisenhower admin-
istration to supply oil to West-
ern Europe, formed a semi-
ollieial committee to do so-
asked the right to avoid com-
pliance with tlu* Sherman Anti-
Trust Act. Then they immedi-
ately announced a stiff increase
in the price of oil.
Humble Oil. a subsidiary of
Standard of New Jersey — led
the way with an increase of 35 to
-in cents a barrel These t w o
eumpai'ies are controlled by the
Rockefeller Family which con-
tributed $152,604 to Eisenhowr-
er in the '56 campaign. The fam-
ily of Chris Herter, new Under-
secretary of State, inherited its
millions from Standard of New
,lerse\. while the Dulles 1 a w
firm in New York—Sullivan &
Cromwell represents Standard
oi New Jersey.
An a result of the increase—
Standard of New Jersey raked
in the whopping total of $237,-
000.000 iii net profits during the
line! Inst three months of this
year 16 per cent higher than
I hr same period last year.
Biggest profit bonanza from
Suez went to Gulf Oil—30 per
rent during the first three
months of 1057 over the same
period last vear. Gulf gets all its
oil from the Gulf of Persia—is
rloseK affnated with Union Oil
of California of which Under-
secretary Herbert Hoover J r..
was executive vice president.
The Mellon Family, which con-
trols Gulf, contributed $100,150
to the Ike campaign last fall.
The Texas Company’s profits
shot up 23.5 per cent during the
first three months of 1957 and
Board Chairman Augustus Long
frankly stated in his report to
stockholders that the big spurt
was due to Suez. Texas is a part
owner of the Arabian American
Oil Company.
Standard Oil of Ohio jumped
ns profits 20 per cent during
the first three months, despite
the fact that its volume increas-
ed only 3 per cent. Clyde T Fox-
ier. president of Solno—admit-
ted that the Suez crisis was re
sponsible.
Socony Mobil and Standard of
California, both part owners of
the Arabian American Oil Com-
pany. each jumped its profits 13
per cent while Sinclair increased
8 per cent despuite the fact that
sales increased only 18 per cent.
NO JULY 4 ON FILM
President Eisenhower has re-
fused to film a special message
for the annual Fourth of July
celebration at Philadelphia's In-
dependanee Hall, birthday of
American independence.
Answering for the President.
White House Aide Frederic Fox
wrote to William Goldman,
-By BMW HAASON-
chairman of the celebration
committee: ‘‘I must report that
this message will—like the Dec-
laration of 1776—be carried on
paper—not a film.” Ike, he said,
would send a written message
only.
This burned up the celebra-
tion committee which appealed
to U. S. Information Director Ar.
thur Larson, pointing out that a
filmed message would dramatize
out Independence Day around
the world.
'I am sure,” wrote City Hep.
Abe Roseit, “that this filmed
commentary by the President
would be something that every
movie house and TV network in
the country would use July 4th.”
Larson wrote back that the
White House’s refusal was final.
EXIT UN-AMERICAN
The passing of Senator Joe
McCarthy will be followed by
the departure from Washington
of his counterpart in the House
of Representatives, Ex-Congress-
man Harold Velde (Rep.) of Illi-
nois Velde, who once created
rival headlines as chairman of
the House Committee on Un-
American Activtics. has been
hanging around Washington
since he withdrew from Con-
gress. trying to wangle a job
from the administration. H i s
latest bid was for the chief
counsel’s job at the Federal
Housing Administration. He
even tried to drum up clients for
a private law practice, but
couldn't raise enough business
to make it pay.
Now the forlorn ex-headline
hunter is about to pack his bags
and leave the scene of his for-
mer tnumps. He is even using
his free postal privileges as an
eX-Congressman to seii his home.
Ex-Congressmen are entitled
to free postage for six months
after they leave office to clean
up their official business. This
privilege is not supposted to be
used, of course, for personal
mail. Yet Velde is sending out
circulars. postage free—to
prospective home buyers, offer-
ing his house for sale.
It might be called direct mail
advertising at the taxpayers’ ex-
pense. Velde’s circular offers:
“Excellent opportunity to pur-
chase lovely one-story red-brick
rambler — first class condition
from original owner. House a
little over two years old. in per-
fect location for members of
Congress, or Capitol Hill em-
ployees. as well as Andrews Air
Base and Bolling Field person-
nel. .. Owner willing to paint
walls in colors desired by pur-
chaser. Immediate occupancy
can be arranged. Call former
Congressman, Harld H. Velde..

While not at the stage where any announcement can be issued,
we have it on good authority that Ennis city officials are working
on devising a plan whereby tornado warnings can be given local
residents in the event of the approach of a twister.
The News has been advocating such system here since the start
of the tornado season. Texans are now tornado conscious and
there is much fear and anxiety every time a weather alert is
issued.
We do not seek to add to needless panic—but rather feel that
such system will allow residents to go about their business with
more ease of mind in times of unsettled weather conditions. As
wc have pointed out before, it is likely such system will never
be used—at least we hope not. It's just like buying fire insurance.
It’s good to have but you hope you never need it.
Since we first became interested in such a thing, wc have notices
that several communities in this area have set up warning sys-
tems. As we understand it, no warning is given unless a storm
is actually spotted bearing down upon the city.
We feel sure Ennis will soon have such a system.
