The fact is laid bare, that de-
spite anti-trust laws, U.S. Steel
companies have been guilty of
monopolistic pricing.
♦ ♦ ♦
It is plain as iron that the
steel business has been operat-
ing above the mainstream of
U.S. free enterprise in adjust-
ing their own monopolistic
prices, rather than improving
their product to meet competi-
tion as most business must
do. Steel, until threatened,
hiked their prices high enough
to insure profits while operat-
ing at only 50 per cent capa-
city. With this medieval men-
tality the American economy, a
more appropriate byword is:
“If steel is leading the way,
what’s going to happen to the
rest of the country?” Steel ob-
viously doesn’t care.
Steel has traditionally held
the paramount position among
U.S. industries. So much so,
that, “As steel goes, so goes the
nation,” has been a byword.

ca, steel has also had the pres-

This reluctance to convert to

other spot of steel industry de-
cay-continuous casting. “The
oxygen furnace is much better
suited than an open hearth to
feed hot steel to a continuous
casting facility because a BOF
provides batches of steel at
shorter, more predictable inter-
vals,” states Prof. Adams. And,
ironically, the colossus of the
U.S. steel, lags well behind
poorer nations in adapting to
continuous casting.

If, in truth, there exists any
substantial division within the
Catholic Church, or any other
Church, or within this nation,
on the issue of whether or not
American soldiers in Vietnam
are “defending the cause of
righteousness, the cause of
civilization and God’s cause,”
then we are in very bad trouble
indeed.
This writer doubts that there
is really, any such substantial
division. It seems more pro-
bable that, there are simply
some vociferous sympathizers
with the Communists, or peace
at any price protagonists, who
seek to divide us. For our
part, we know of no spokes-
man who has characterized the
Vietnam war more pointedly
that did Cardinal Spellman.
It’s our suspicion that those
who support the Cardinal’s view
the vast majority, spend rather
less time demonstrating and
writing letters to the editor
and considerably more sending
communications elsewhere, in
prayers.

At the February Farmers
Union meeting, held Feb. 4,
Forest Creamer reviewed
the recent happenings on
projected cotton yields, asked
Billy Tom Sandlin to explain
the position Cottle County is
in at this time on increasing
projected years for 67. The
concensus is that unless Cottle
County could be included in
the historic skii row counties
we would not be eligible for a
raise in projefted cotton yields
even though we lost 22 pounds
due to the skip row patterns
in prior years. A very small

years such as 1959 and counties

WASHINGTON AND
"SMALL BUSINESS’’
By C. WILSON HARDER
1775 to 1965 the total deaths
in all US Wars was 1, 130 393;
from 1900 to 1065, the total
traffic toll was 1,559,950, a
truly staggering figure.
Speaking on what can be done
he said our worst problem is
public apathy. Giving a brief
resume of Gov. Connally’s
safety program which is a part
of a national program, Fant
stated that one of the points
of the Safety Bill concerns
the licensing law and would
raise the age limit from 14
years to 16 for securing drivers
licenses, with Drivers Educa-
tion compulsory.
Mr. Fant announced that he
will conduct a school for
drivers, all ages, with no charge
in Childress Feb. 27 and 28 and
March 1st., from 7 to 9 p. m.
in the Community Room of the
Courthouse and hopes to do the
same in Paducah at a later date.
Members were given the
small handbook, “A Digest of
Texas Motor Vehicle Laws,”
after which refreshments were
served to the above mentioned
and one visitor, Mr. Buck
Johnson, Paducah Highway
Patrolman; members Mmes.
J. E. Morris, Allen Holley,
W. H. Worley, G. A. Mayes,

James Terry and B. L. Mayo.
Mrs. Anne Smith and three
sons Bucky, Barry and Joe
Bruce and her brother-in-laws
Rocky and Randy Smith, spent
last Saturday hiking east of
Guthrie in the river bottom
and hills. They took lunch and
had a weiner roast before re-
turning to Paducah.
U.S., frightening American
steel firms to their obligation
of introducing the new
provement.
In a recent meeting, Padu-
cah’s Lions voted to donate
$1,000 to the new Hospital
Fund. Action was taken after
tourin'g thd hospital and seeing
the needs there.
In other action, they donated
$50 to Paducah Cemetery As-
sociation, and planned to spon-
sor a benefit Basketball game
in the near future, with all
proceeds to go to the March
of Dimes.
The Cardinal stated very
simply that our men in uniform
are “defending the cause
righteousness, the cause
civilization and God's cause,”
and that anything “less than
victory is inconceivable.”
In the days since that quote
was reported by the press in
Vietnam a great rush of
comment has been published
chastising the Cardinal. A few
editors have criticized his
language; some long and labor-
ed letters to the editor have
appeared; we’ve even been
treated to “inside” stories in
slick magazines purporting to
reveal that “anonymous”
spokesmen in the Vatican are
dismayed that the Cardinal
could imply that what is going
on in Vietnam is a “Holy War”
It is hardly necessary for
one to be a Catholic, as this
writer is not, to feel obliged
to rise to ask if those who
voiced their criticism of the
' Cardinal 6an name anything on
the face of the earth which is
more anti-Christ than Com-
munism"?
As a result, lower-priced
steel from abroad flooded the

the following quotation from
the book, “Apples of Gold,”

ence cost!

Mrs. C. R. Wood continued
the theme of friendship when
she gave the quote from
Franklin D. Rossevelt, as
follows:
“If civilization is to survive
we must cultivate the science
of human relationships, the
ability of all peoples, of all
kinds, to live together in the
same world at peace.”
Mrs. Wood introduced
Carroll Robertson, who spoke
on the aspects of the Postal
Service. He displayed stamps
commemorating the 75th anni-
versary of the Federated Clubs
of America. 1966 was the Dia-
mond Jubilee of G.F.W.C.
Other stamps displayed were
“Plant for a More Beautiful
America,” a special project of
Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson and
also the beautiful Christmas
stamp by the Flemish painter
Mem ling, of the Madonna in
the National Gallery of Art.

mentioned were: Mmes. W. V.

According to Mark: “If a
house be divided against itself
that house cannot stand.”
Abraham Lincoln drew upon
this language in his famous
speech to the Republican State
Convention in Springfield, Ill-
inois, in 1858: “Ahouse divided
against itself cannot stand.”
The quotation has come to
mind frequently in recent days
as we have read the news stories
and editorial comments on
Cardinal Spellman’s Christmas
message to our fighting men
in Vietnam.

that one of the most important

Rounding out the varied pro-

had become very proud of their
vintage model cars. Many of the
streets are so narrow that
driving only allowed during the
early and late hours of the day
and the middle part of the day
the streets are used for
pedestrians. Most of the
ideas that are being carried
out in all of South America
are patterned after European
ideas and many of the, even
tho good, are too expensice for
rural areas. Mr. Yarbrough
feels that this is one of the
best ways to explain democracy
by showing countries how they
may help themselves through
democratic ideas, whether it be
South America or Viet Nam.
Bill Hoffman thanked Mr.
Yarbrough for his talk and

ence in light and dark for the

The glistening industrial im-
age of steel has been somewhat
tarnished lately, however, by
several offenses.
* * *
Charges were recently level-
ed at the industry by two econ-
omics professors, Walter Adams
of Michigan State and Joel Dir-
lam of Rhode Island Univer-
sity, in the quarterly “Journal
of Economics,” which article
was used by the Wall St.
Journal as a feature story. The
accusation was that U.S. Steel
companies spent
sums in the 1950’s for
hearth steelmaking when,
the Wall St. Journal put it,”
. . . it should have been clear
that oxygen furnaces would be
cheaper to build and would
produce large volumes of high
quality steel at savings.”
♦ * *
The two economists contend
that if the industry had con-
verted to BOF (basic-oxygen
furnace) production by 1960,
“its return on net worth would
have soared to 11.6 per cent
from the 7.6 per cent realized.”
