EORGE R DEALEY the late publisher of the Dallas Morning
News Is said to have been so economical that ho would save
his copy of the News take It to the office with him and place It on
IIILDREN AS WELL AS adults are quite adept at confessing
each others sins it would seem During a childrens service at
Trinity Methodist church the one in charge asked the small children
how many had ever told a story
Some hands went up Some didnt
A rather small boy whose hand was up incidentally blurted out
That little girl down there with the pony tall needs to have her
hand up too
couwir EDITOI
WAS A GREAT DAY for the Democrats when a group of
IT
Ultlcficld Democrats met recently and proclaimed themselves
Republicans Some of the names identified wih this movement were
people who have been delegates to Democratic conventions in recent
years and worked hard to sabotage the Democratic party
However we doubt that these people will be as happy as they
anticipate in the GOP fold What are they going to do with Nelson
Rockefeller
The fact is there lias been somewhat of a realignment In politics
Wo still have two main streams of political thinking in the United
Stales duo primarily to the clash of economic Interests
COUNTIT toitoi
kVKRSIMILIFAClION ot any problem Is always easy But at
that risk the situation is something like this
Persons whose income Is derived from agriculture like high prices
for their crops
Persons who live in cities and who have no direct connection
with agriculture like low prices for their food clothing and other
Item produced by agriculture
Quite obviously there is a clash of interests
COUNlir IDITOI
AllOVE ILLUSTRATION is only one small facet of the overTHE
all situation It Is further complicated by the difference or opinion
over which unit of government should perform public services or
whether or not any unit of government should perform a public service
couNiir lonoi
THERE ARE MANY facets which make up these two
WHILE main streams of political thoughi usually those which Involve
economics are the determining factor which cause a man to call
himself a Democrat or a Republican or pethaps a liberal or a conservativeNolthor jhe Republican or Democratic national party Is 100 percent
to our particular liking Hut on basics or fundamentals wo feel
that the Democratic party is best for all the people
Wc loathe the twins liberal and conservative as the terms
now used to describe prttentday polltlea The last thing on earth
wc want to be called Is a political conservative It smells of Robert

NEW YORK With the number
of major crimes in the United States
at an alltime high according to the
FBI a closer look at the amount of
police protection in Tulia compared
with that in other cities is in order
Data on police department strength
has just been released by the FBI
and by the International City Managers
Association It lists the number
of fulltime police in 3779 cities across
the country
Tulia it is shown has a smaller
police force in proportion to pou
latlon than is found in most of the
cities in the United States
As of the beginning of this year
there were 4 fulltime employees on
the local police department payroll
This was equivalent to 9 employee
for every 1000 residents which
was fewer than was found in most
of the cities the average being 19
per 1000 people Average In the West
South Central states was 13 per
thousand
Big differences in police strength
exist among the various cities Usually
it is pointed out this Is due to
particular local factors The range
throughout the country Is from 02
police per 1000 residents to 60 per
1000
FB Director J Edgar Hoover re
veals that lawlessness continued
Its upward surge last year with a
14 percent rise in the number ot
crimes
Over the pastJenyearsthe Increase
amounted to 93 percent although
the poulation growth In the
period was only 18 percent
While the exact cost of crime Is
incalculable he states there are figures
to show what the property losses
were due to robbery auto theft
and the like In 1960 they amounted
to over 570000000 Effective police
work resulted in the recovery of
half of this loot
Comparison is also made as to
the cost of police protection in the
nations cities
For communities with populations
of under 10000 TuHas size category
the police cost for the year came to
approximately 690 per resident
Nationally It averaged 1100 per
person Tulias cost is 650 per residentFiremen Attend
Special School
Tulians will get a 5 per cent credit
on their fire Insurance premiums because
the city sent its fire marshal
ind two firemen to the annual Fire

Swisher May Have Missile Sites
If Lubbock Becomes Area Base
Swisher county may be Included
in the government program to expand
the nations missile program
lubbock is fighting for a selection
as a Minutcman missile site In wes
rn Texas The city is one of several
places under consideration for
he installation the only one to be established
in this section of the coun
ryThe
The missile base will cost an es
imated 40 million and cover an
area with a radius of about 125 mil
cs
The site would extend beyond
manllo to the north Into New
Mexico on the west and nearly to
Midland to the south
The minuteman also can be
mounted on flatcars as a mobile
weapon but this type of launching
wculd be less effective In the West
Texas area
Each site would cover about 2
acres with Reese AFB at Lubbock
acting as the control point and Strategic
Air Command personnel manning
the sites
It is also pointed out that Lubbock
would become a prime enemy target
if it becomes a minuteman base
If Lubbock becomes the base
Swisher county would be the location
of several missile sites Already officials
have been negotiating with
farmers in the Kress area for prospective
site Swisher alongjwjth
other counties In this area would
form a protective ring for the air

base at Lubbock and for the city of
Lubbock itself
Several rights of entry are report
ed to have been conveyed to the U
S government by area land owners
as part of a survey now in progress
to see if the area is suitable for an
Air Force facility
The contracts give the government
24 months in which to enter the land
and make tests Damages to the land
will be paid for
If the land proves suitable how
ever much less than the 40 acres
specified in the contract would be
used it was learned Apparently
five to 12 acres will be needed at
each site
The exploration includes 17 counties
and about 190 sites
Congress already has voted funds
for the project
The sites reportedly would contain
about 12 missiles each and would be
located about five miles apart
The missiles would be housed in
80foot deep silos and would not bo
fired except in case of war
Testing operations reportedly aro
scheduled to begin in August These
include seismograh tests and core
borings
