To move fast is good, if it’s good to

There may be many moons before
a seedbed blooms.
In weaving dreams, use the rain-

Dawn is coming, though dusk is

Despair sees no light though the

Beware of the dust of

Beneath the drift is many a prec-

exposed the Red conspiracy.
In between these extreme positions
is the right one: From the time Eliz-
abeth Bentley and Whittaker Cham-
bers revealed the Red cells operating
in Washington, there has been a fev-
erish effort to cover up.
McCarthy is only incidental. More
important than any individual is
whether we expose what has hap-
pened and determine that it won’t
continue.
If files were burned to prevent em-
barrassment at Fort Monmouth, that
ought to be publicly known and those
who were responsible exposed. Too
much of that has happened. The Hiss
story was labeled as a fantasy, until
the “pumpkin papers” turned fantasy
into fact. What if they had been
burned?
“A Pleasure to Please You”
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Benjamin
Franklin may have been its founder,
but the University is still the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania. That’s what
the alumni decided in a pool, 1,101 to
234.
Changing the school’s name was
the idea of Alexander D. Chiquoine
Jr., of Scarsdale, N. Y., a member of
the class of 1934. He suggested the
institution’s name be changed to hon-
or its founder, Benjamin Franklin.

County, which had a 1950 population

LAREDO. — A 28-year-old man
jumped from the international bridge
here Thursday.
He fell 34 feet and landed in the
mud.
Then, customs officials said, he
tried to drown himself by jumping
into the water in the river.
Officers took him to jail.
WILLIAMSTON, S. C. — J. Hugh
Patterson planked down $120 for a
set of false teeth. Mrs. Patterson had
been after him to do it for 20 years.
The teeth worked fine for a few days,
but Patterson soon decided they
didn’t feel right. So he wrapped
them in tinfoil and laid them up.
Mrs. Patterson fumed. It was her
idea to run a classified ad offering to
sell or rent the teeth. The first day
the ad ran the Pattersons counted
more than 100 telephone calls before
they went to work at a textile mill at
4 p. m.
Mrs. Patterson said one woman of-
fered to swap a bedroom suite for the
choppers. Another had a billygoat to
trade.
With no deal closed so far, the Pat-
tersons may hang onto the teeth and
offer them again when things get
dull.

the big thing on the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture’s December
plentiful foods list.
Supplies of turkeys, broilers and
fryers, beef, frozen shrimp and can-
ned tuna are at record highs, reports
Raymond J. Totoro of the Agricul-
tural Marketing Service. Also, sup-
plies of pork are much larger than a
year ago.
Eggs as well as turkeys rate as
“foods for feature” on the December
list because prices are favorable to
consumers.
Many other foods popular for holi-
day cooking are plentiful—dates, fil-
berts, almonds, grapes, grapefruit and
oranges.
Rice, pinto beans, salad oils and
vegetable oils also will be good buys
at the grocer’s this month, says U. S.

AUSTIN. — A 15-year-old “thrill
burglar,” son of one of Austin’s most
respected families, has confessed to
breaking into five Austin business
establishments “just to see if I could
do it,” police said Wednesday.
The boy’s father, who turned his
son in and is making restitution
where necessary, blamed “comic
books and lousy television programs”
for leading his son astray.

The story that ten wastebaskets
full of secret files were burned just
before the McCarthy-Army hearings
last spring broke just forty-eight
hours before the sore-elbowed Sena-
tor was due to reappear in the Senate
bn his censure hearing.
The opponents of McCarthy will
say it’s a blow below the belt and too
obvious. Those standing by the Sen-
ator will point to one more link in a
conspiracy to get the man who has

WASHINGTON. — The Commerce
Department declared Sunday that,
despite higher taxes and prices, the
average American could buy 44 per-
cent more with his take home pay in
1953 than he could with what he got
in 1929.
In a birdseye review of the 24-
An- I Year period, the department pointed
' out the tremendous strides made dur-
ing the span in the total value of
goods and services produced, in to-
tal income and in the extent to which
it was distributed.
The department said that, in the 24
years, the nation’s production in-
creased about 57 percent per capita.
Reasons, it added, include higher la-
technological improve-

DALLAS.—The rent hadn’t been
paid, a landlady complained in just-
tice court Wednesday, as she sought
an order forcing the defendant to
move.
But she had been paid, the defend-
[ ant said—. . . “Paid her with a quart
of whisky.”
“I don’t remember it,” the landlady
said.
“Sure,” said the defendant. “She
drank the whisky and passed out.”
Court was recessed pending an in-
vestigation.

Sanders must start work during
December on the job, which calls for
120 working days. The work includes
the installation of a complete sewer
system and disposal plant pjus the
extension of watei' mains within the
city to a distance of 500 feet from
the city limits all over town.
Four fire hydrants will be added to
bring the total to 20 and give the city
sufficient coverage to reduce the fire
rate.

WASHINGTON.—The Census Bu-

population county.
Loving County, the Bureau said,
had a population of 227 in April,

was taken. At that time Armstrong
County, South Dakota, had the few-

nation—52, of whim 43 were Indians.

(Star-Telegram) ,
In 1953, Texas was fifth among the
states of the nation in the number of
automobiles registered. But it was
sixth in the amount of automobile in-
surance premiums paid.
The state had 5.71 percent of all
the nation’s registered automobiles,
and it paid 5.07 percent of the total
automobile insurance premiums.
A part of this discrepancy lies in
the fact that premiums per vehicle
vary from state to state, from $40.55
in North Dakota to $121.50 in New
York State. In Texas the average
was $69.52.
But only a part of this variation is
due to the difference in rates.
dther and an important part is the
degree to which laws requiring lia-
bility insurance are in force and the
degree which they are enforced.
The figures given here are com-
piled by The Spectator, trade Jour-
nal of the insurance field. But fig-
ures are not available on the degree
of enforcement of auto insurance
laws. Nevertheless, there is ground
for suspicion that in many states
where some kind of financial respon-
sibility is legally required, a substan-
tial number of cars are on the roads
without the required protection.

The Sanders bid was for $76,062.25,

money for additional water improve-
ments,” Griffith explained. “The
