ns to bear that statement out.
DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT
A 14-man Conference Commit-
tee has spent the past week whip-
ping into shape the basic legisla-
tion, which will guide the nation’s
mibilization and controls program
in the coming months.
The Senate and House bills ex-
tending the Defense Production
Act differed in many provisions.
The Conference Committee, com-
posed of seven Senators and the
same number of Representatives,
has had the task of adjusting these
differences and working out a
final version, which will be ac-
ceptable to both the House and
Senate. As a member of the Con-
ference Committee, I did my best
to have the final bill provide a
workable system of controls to
prevent further increases in the
cost of living. We had one hectic
session that lasted all night. Ev-
ery member was on his toes at all
times and many compromises
were made that seemed impossible
at first.
Conference Committees arc an
important phase of the legislative
process. When a controversial is-
sue is considered on the Floor, the
pace is so rapid and the debate
becomes so heated that it is al-
most impossible to understand the
full implications of all the amend-
ments which are offered. During
consideration of the Defense Pro-
duction Bill, about 75 amendments
were brought up. The bill was
passed at the end of a 14-hour
session, which left Members ex-
hausted. Under such circumstanc-
es the Conference Committee has
great responsibility in studying
each amendment carefully and
producing a workable law.
HOUSE APPROVES SMALL
BUSINESS AGENCY
The creation of an agency to
assist small businesses in obtain-
ing Government contracts, scarce
materials and capital became a
virtual certainty when the House
approved the Small Defense Plants
Corporation Amendment to the
Defense Production Bill.
The Senate has approved an
amendment which is similar, al-
though in my opinion, it is not as
satisfactory as the House amend-
ment. The Senate bill provides
for the establishment of a Small
Defense Plants Administration,
which could be placed in one of
the existing Government Agencies.
The House amendment requires
that the Agency be independent.
This is an important difference,
since a Srftall Business Agency
probably would have little power
if it were placed under the con-
trol of another agency. The
House version of the amendment
establishing an independent agen-
cy prevailed; small firms will be
given some genuine assistance
through branch offices created in
all the principal areas of the
country.
COST OF LIVING DROPS—
A LITTLE
For the first time since Feb-
ruary, 1950, the cost of living has
shown a decrease rather than an
increase. That isn’t as good news
as it seems, however, because the
decrease was only one-tenth of one
per cent.
The decrease occurred in June,
when the cost of living index
stood at 185.2 (an increase of 85.2
points over the 1935-1939 aver-
age). The June figure is 8.8 per
\'ent above the cost of living in
June, 1950.
It is interesting to note that liv-
ing costs have risen only eight-
tenths of one per cent since last
February—the first month during
which price and wage controls
were in effect. Even during its
initial stages, the price stabiliza-
tion program has been effective in
preventing runaway inflation.
CREDIT CONTROLS RELAXED
One type of control, which has
proved to be inflationary rather
than the reverse, was relaxed.
During the debate on the Defense
Production Bill, the House approv-
ed an amendment, which 1 offer-
ed, to allow a period of 21 months
for time payments on cars.
There is no question that the
present 15-month limitation con-
tained in Regulation W has de-
prived many wage-earners of
needed transportation. In addi-
tion, the restriction has increased
inflationary pressures by forcing
persons to liquidate iheir cash
savings or to cash in Government
bonds or postal savings to buy
automobiles and other consumer
durable goods. The Conferees
agreed on 18 months for both new
and used cars with one-third
down payment on each. Credit
terms on other durables were also
relaxed.

ite Sewer System
[resent time the City of Cooper is engaged in
I a most modern sewer system for the disposal
lucts. Three lift stations will provide facilities
|tion of town. In fact, there will be no house
ity limits that will not have sewer lines near
it they can be used. In other words, there will
no need for outside toilets,
on now arises, How about all these people that
|ugh to a sewer line but are not financially able
itage of it? If they are not going to use it, then
|ure of $50,000 for a new system was a waste of
le job could have been done for much less just
lose who want the service,
lost home owners who have not had the facilities
| put them in when they become available and
be a small percentage of the homeowners who
|to install the plumbing. For those who refuse
and are able to do so, measures can be taken;
Kances will make it most difficult for some,
possible solution for this problem within the
lent itself. It might be possible for the City
lo install the plumbing facilities at a minimum
»e persons who are financially unable to do so
|ves and prorate the charges over a period of
rable along with their water bill. It is difficult
| how many of these cases there might be, but it
issible that there will be more than the city will
ike care of at the present time.

COME JUST AS YOU ARE
A few days ago my attention
was attracted to an advertisement,
published by a well-known public
service institution. The ad read
that anyone wishing to do so
might attend the public meetings
of that institution in shorts, halters
and other abbreviated accessories,
and “feel right at home.”
gathered that if you could get by
the police on the way, you were
welcome to come “just as you
are.”
1 like to keep cool, and I am
trying to do so as I write this
column. But I can hardly keep
cool when I see a billion dollar
business institution deliberately
agitate for laxity in personal de-
cency and self respect.
There is something mighty loose
about an ambition for exhibition,
and whether the exhibition is put
on in the name of comfort or not,
it still is an exhibition. Some wo-
men are disappointed if every
man on the street doesn’t whistle,
even though they expect their
husband, if he is with them, to
crack the whistler on the jaw.
The people who live on the
desert, where it really gets hot,
do not take their clothes off—
they put more on.
If you will search out every
motive that governs your actions,
you will find that everything you
do is done because you want to
do it. So I suppose the ad is
right. Come just as you are, but
whatever dress you wear on the
outside, it will reflect what you
are on the inside.
There is another who said:
“Come just as you are.” That one
is Jesus. His great invitation is:
“Come unto me.” He wants you
to come just like you are. If
there is anything wrong on the
inside, He can change it. If there
is anything in your life that you
consider unworthy, He can make
it right. Come to Jesus today,
with all of your problems and
needs.
Come just as you are.
Two Signs and Map
Added to Review
No longer will the public have
to look for the entrance and of-
fice of The Cooper Review. Two
new gold leaf signs have been
placed on the windows, one on
the entrance door which states
“Cooper Review” following out the
old English lettering of the paper's
masthead. The other is in the
center panel of the all-glass front,
with the lettering “W. D. Hart &
Sons, Commercial Printing - Of-
fice Supplies.” The work was done
by Joe Taifer, Denison sign paint-
er who is the brother-in-law of
Mrs. Fern Jefferson. Bids asked
from local sign men failed to get
a response and the Denison sign
man was a “pinch hitter.”
Mrs. Taifer also painted for The
Review a large map of Delta
county which shows all the farm
to market roads in red and the
Sulphur River boundaries, as well
as the six adjoining counties. The
state highways, streams and chief
points in the county are also
shown, as well as the railroad
lines, including the G.C. & S.F.
and the T. & N.O.
The map will be framed and
hung on a large space of wall fac-
ing those who enter the building.
This is a part of the extensive
improvements which Lyndol E.
Hart and Wren H. Hart have made
to the Review plant since taking
over the ownership and manage-
ment following the death of their
father, the late W. D. Hart.
