Debatable Debate
President Kennedy appears to be
throwing increased White House
weight behind the idea of extending
formal political debates from the presi-
dential down to the mayoral level in
future U. S. election campaigns.
Twice in recent weeks this_notion
has been encouraged, and evidently
the President intends to push it hard.
One of his top political advisers
has said that Kennedy’s 1961 dip into
the New Jersey governorship cam-
paign was effective mainly because he
fingered the Republican nominee’s re-
. fusal to debate his winning Democra-
tic opponent.
However that may be, it seems
plain that hand-to-hand debates will
loom larger in political combat from
now on.' ‘
Tne President long ago signified
his willingness to debate his 1964 Re-
publican opponent. If such a confron-
tation comes about, the precedent for
continuing the practice will be strong.
White House Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger said in a recent speech that
major candidates for office at all lev-
els owe it to the voters to submit their
- views to the debating test.
Some observers raise the question,
however, whether a widened empha-
sis on debate may not give voters a
distorted, or at least incomplete view
of many candidates.
The Salinger reply is that a can-
didate has to be “much more than a
good debater” to impress the public
in such encounters, especially if they
occur under the gaze of television
cameras.
This may be true enough. But it
may also be true that a man who
comes off as a very poor debater may
have a difficult if not impossible time
getting across any compensating char-
acteristics of importance in the office
he seeks.
There is aother matter. Politicians
being of ajl types and temperaments,
they will not easily submit, in many
cases, to the formal rules which de-
bate demands.
Some past efforts were debates in
name only, slipping quickly into old-
fashioned political harangues. In oth-
er cases, though the rules were fol-
lowed, the net result was empty, wood-
en and dull.
Furthermore, even at their best,
political debates leave the listening
voters with one almost insurmountable
handicap: they have no fool-proof way
of determining the truth, if any, in
the rapid crossfire of claim and coun-
terclaim which marks such combat.
So, valuable as the debate can be
in helping measure candidates, it is far
from being the perfect answer to the
voter’s dream.
home fl^m school Ǥy girl who woturs a short
skirt after the first warding, Everyone knows
the fashion is knee length skirts, If he’s
Old-fashioned, why doesn't he learn what it
is all about? A group has been thinking of
picketing the school, but my mother says it
wouldn’t do any good. Have you ever heard
of students picketing # school?”
It does seem like a drastic way to make
a point about fashion, and it would antagonize
School authorities. I think you should try
to organise a calm way of getting your point
across, such as getting students, parents and
school authorities together and let everybody
air his views. One school principal recently
gave as his reason for the skirt length ban
“that a knee-length skirt is no longer a knee-
length skirt when a girl sits down.”
Here’s where mom has really turned the
tables on daughter:
“I’m probably one of the few girls in the
world who shares clothes with her mother and
vice versa. We are the same size. I don’t
really object to it as she lets me wear her
fur jacket and her jewelry when I want to
dress up especially well. But don’t you think
I should have a wardrobe to call my own?
Mother even borrows my last pair of stock-
ings, and when I want to go out, I’m strand-
ed.”
You should be able to straighten out
the situation so that your mother will not
take- your last pair of stockings, but if you
are going to borrow your mother’s clothes,
it should be a two-way wardrobe exchange.
You should be willing to lend your clothes
without quibbling. The only other way would
be to call a halt completely and then you
would, of course, deprive yourself of certain
advantages.

Are young men suspicious of hope chests?
Do they think of themselves as bait when
they know a girl keeps one? A 16-year-old
girl writes:
“Do you think it is a good idea to let
a boy know that you have a hope chest? My
girl friend’s mother says it is better to keep
it a secret. My mother says that it shouldn’t
make any difference to the boy, and he
shouldn’t get the idea it has any connection
with him. I’m all for telling the steady boy
I date about the wonderful sterling flatware
my grandparents gave me for my hope chest.
Please help settle this question.”
The words “hope chest” are frightening
to some boys. Couldn’t you tell him about
the silver Vithout saying you are putting
it in your hope chest? The words sound too
immediate for comfort, especially to a high
school boy.

Is the Twist a dignified dance? The pros
and cons of that question rage on and on.
“My parents didn't approve of rock'n’
roil,” writes an 18-year-old high school sen-
ior, “but now they dance the twist at every
opportunity. Our own group disassociated it-
self from the Twist, and now to have our
parents Twisting around is a little embar-
rassing.
“Why is a dance like that okay for par-
ents when the rock’n’roll isn’t permissible for
their daughters?” _
^ Many people consider rock’n’roll undig-
nified. Parents don’t relish the idea of their
ypung daughters tossed around on a dance
•floor creating a spectacle. That also goes for
the Twist. Parents dance it, no doubt, be-
cause they feel they have the situation well
in hand.
A sense of the reality of Gbd is the
world’s greatest need. The world cries out
for peace and prosperity. This verse is the
answer. God and God alone is the source of

Washington, Jan. 26 M —
It has occurred to a number
of political witers that the
United States and its allies—
for the first time in years-—
are in a position to call the
turn in East-West relations.
The reason for this is partly
due to a political and military
firming up in the West . . .
the Common Market and the
f u r t her strengthening of
NATO.
Mainly, though, the West is
in better shape because the
Soviet bloc isn’t faring so well.
The continuing quarrel be-
tween Moscow and Peiping
over ideology — over the
has become edgy and the So-
viet Union has lost some of
its assurance.
A factor which has not re-
ceived sufficient mention is
ihat of agricultural underpro-
duction. The Soviet Union has
not met its quota and Red
China’s millions face another
year of hunger. It is specu-
lated that the Chinese food
crisis, now in its fourth year,
could affect the economic sta-
bility of the Peiping regime.
A report by the United
State Department of Agricul-
ture has predicted a danger-
ously low level of food sup-
plies on the Chinese mainland,
a condition which could take
waging of the East-West strug- an enormous toll in health and
gle, really —- has had an un- 1 ability to wo«rk.
demining effect, lied China Peiping has tried to
its food problems by buying
grains from abroad, from Can-
ada, Australia and other na-
tions. It is believed that pur-
chases for this year will be
limited by Peiping’s ability to
pay and will fall much below
those of 1U61.
The Russians can’t help
much, either. For one thing,
they have yet to build up an
adequate reserve. For anoth-
er, there may be no inclina-
tion to sacrifice for a Red
country that has been so con-
trary on politics and ideology.
Five Killed
In Collision
Victoria, Jan. 26 W — Five
persons died and seven were
injured yesterday when three
automobiles crashed in a dense
fog on U- S. 77 about 25
miles south of Victoria.
All of the dead were in two
cars which smashed head-on as
one attempted to pass a semi-
solve trailer truck about 4 miles
Washington, (NEA) — At long last there seepis to be
glowing awareness that sweeping changes arc needed in United
State farm policy to bring supply into closer balance with
demand.
President Kennedy will soon send to Congress a Complete
program of “supply management” intended to achieve this ob-
jective. Whether Congress will buy it is something else again.
But if enough pressure can be generated from grass roots pro-
ducers and other taxpayers who are merely consumers, some
impression might be made on the lawmakers.
Since the first of the year, Agriculture Secretary Arvllt
Freeman has held 3 two-day conferences of farm leaders and
publicists to sell this program.
• First was a conference of farm paper editors and writ-
ers who are supposed to be the opinion formers.
9 Second was a conference of Food and People.
9 Third was a conference on Land and People.
All were intended to inform farm leaders on adjustments
that must be made to bring agricultural economics into balance.
Freeman’s National Advisory Commission has met also,
to review the administration’s new farm proposals. At the end
of its two-day session, it issued a policy statement including
these important recommendations:
“ . .. Rapidly glowing productive capacity must be brought
into line with attainable outlets.
“. . . Accumulation of surplus stocks in government at high
ahd unnecessary expense to taxpayers is not acceptable.”
This is the first time in g 1<W* time that any talk like this
has come out of Department of Agriculture. In the past, princi-
pal emphasis has been on maintenance of farm income by sup-
port prices which only built up surpluses.
Dr. Williard W. Cochrane, director of economics in the
Department of Agriculture points out that the overproduction
is largely the result of a technical revolution such as the world
has never seen.
Total U.S. output has increased at an average rate of 2.5
per ceqt a pear. Expectations are that this will continue for
some years to come. So the problem will get worse unless pre-
ventive measures are taken now.
ThU U.S. technical revolution has taken place in the face
of the most rapid migration of farm people to the cities that the
world has even seen. Twenty-five per cent of the American farm
labor force has moved off the farm in the last ten yeais. ThU
tends to correct the imbalance a little, but it is not enough.
While this has been going on, per capita consumption of
food and fiber hasn’t increased a bit. In potatoes, dairy pro-
ducts and cotton it has gone down. The only consumption in-
creases come from population growth. And this isn’t big enough
to absorb increased farm production.
No alternative is therefore seen but to cut U.S. farm pro-
duction to what this country and the nations to which it exports
can consume, with reasonable carry-overs.
