Seriously, though, there isn’t a single item
we can think of that you might need for any
repair job around your house that we don’t
have right in stock.
If so, a few hours’ time right now might save
you a wallopin’ big repair bill later.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Dem-
cratic-dominated Senate, rebuffing
President Eisenhower for the second
day in a row, Wednesday approved
a 25c increase in the national mini-
mum wage to $1 an hour.
That was 10c more than the Presi-
dent had recommended—and called
for again just Wednesday morning.
The Senate acted unexpectedly and
quickly. Its Labor Committee came
out with the $1 figure only Tuesday.
Called up Wednesday afternoon, the
measure was debated for an hour and
a quarter. Fewer than 25 Senators
appeared to be on the floor when it
passed on an unrecorded vote.
The bill now goes to the House,
where hearings already have started.
If it becomes law, some 2,100,000
workers covered by the Fair Labor
Standards Act would be due 'for a
wage increase next Jan. 1. Many of
these workers are in Southern States,
and a large number in the textile,
lumber, clothing, leather and candy
industries.
Democrats had substituted Tuesday
another of their programs for one
presented by the administration. That
concerned public housing, and as
passed it provided for many more
low-rent units than Eisenhower had
suggested.

A bus loaded with 36 girls and
stacks of luggage left Tuesday morn-
ing (May 31) bound for Eagle’s Nest
on Eagle Mountain Lake, Fort Worth.
This is the homemaking girls’ third
summer outing and camping trip and
is the largest group ever to make the
trip.
The girls arrived about noon where
they immediately checked into their
dormitories. Each girl carried a pic-
nic lunch but by the time they ar-
rived many of the lunches had been
consumed.
Wednesday afternoon a group of
the girls and the sponsors toured the
Fort Worth Zoo and Botanical Gar-
dens.
The girls returned home Thursday
about noon where most of them went
immediately to bed to catch up on a
little lost sleep.
Those making the trip were: Edna

son, Trellis Penny, Della Hull, Guyla

COLLEGE STATION.—Local inia-
tive, interest and enterprise form the
foundation for a proposed plan aimed
at helping low-income farm families I the state paid many thousands of del-
find ways to improve their level of; lars are deteriorating badly,
living. The plan has been presented
to Congress by President Eisenhower.
The President’s long-range plan is
based upon the concept that a perma-
nent solution must begin with the
goals set by the people themselves,
and be attained through the coopera-
tive efforts of all segments of the
community and all levels of govern-
ment concerned with the problem.
Recommendations included in the
plan call for an expansion of Federal
and State services in technical assist-
ance and extension work in areas of
low resources; more intermediate-
term credit from private and cooper-
ative lending agencies for farm de-
velopment; additional credit and
technical assistance from the Farm-
ers Home Administration; a Federal-
State research program aimed at
solving problems common to the low-
income group; improved state em-
ployment services and encourage-
ment bf industrial expansion in re-
gions of underemployed rural labor.
Also to begin pilot programs with-
in the next school year to develop
more educational and vocational
training opportunities in rural areas,
improve health service and medical
facilities in areas of need and trade
and community development pro-
gram to increase incomes and raise
living standards.
A U. S. Department of Agriculture
report, upon which the plan is based,
shows that 1.5 million farm families
have a total cash income of less than
$1,000 a year. Under Secretary of
Agriculture True D. Morse has been
named the major USDA official re-
sponsible for directing and coordi-
nating the USDA’s part in the pro-
gram.

ATLANTIC CITY.—Men who quit
smoking cigarets probably cut their
risk of dying of lung cancer com-
pared with men who keep on smok-
ing, the American Cancer Society
reported Monday.
Its study finds the cancer death
rate among a group of ex-smokers
was only half that of smokers.
But society officials said that due
to the small numbers of smokers and
ex-smokers involved, it can not be
“proven beyond reasonable doubt”
that quitting reduces the risk of lung
cancer. They declared more evidence
is needed.
This is a main finding in the latest
report of a continuing ACS study of
nearly 190,000 men, aged 50 to 70,
and their smoking habits and what
they die of.
Criticizing the statistics, Timothy
V. Hartnett, chairman of the tobacco
industry research committee, said the
ACS study “does not establish any
cause and effect relationship.”
Just a year ago the first report, in-
dicating cigarets play a role in lung
cancer, was announced by Drs. R.
Cuyler Hammond and Daniel Horn,
director and assistant director of the
ACS’s statistical research, at the an-
nual meeting of the American Medi-
cal Association. That first report
covered 20 month’s time and deaths
of nearly 5,000 men.
32-Month Study
Monday’s report at the opening of
the AMA’s 1955 session covers 32
months and studies of deaths—
whether from cancer or other causes
—among more than 8,000 men.
Some of the highlights and con-
clusions of Hammond and Horn:
Lung cancer is rare among men
who have never smoked.
The death rate from lung cancer
increases with the amount of cigar-
ets smoked. The rate is appreciable
even among men who smoke fewer
than 10 cigarets daily.
Regardless of whether men live in
big cities or rural areas, the rate is ]
high among smokers, and low among |
non-smokers.
Among men who smoke two packs
or more daily, heart disease is the
most common cause of death, and
lung cancer is second. In these men,
lung cancer accounts for one in eight
deaths.
In the general male population of
this same age lung cancer accounts
for 1 in 30 deaths. Among these
heavy smokers, lung cancer outranks |
accidents, brain strokes and other
causes of death to take second place.
Pipe smoking “appears to be asso-
ciated with lung cancer” but far less
than cigarets. Last year, little evi-
dence had been found in this study
to point to any danger in pipe smok-
ing.
Cigar smoking still does not show
any significant association with lung
cancer, in this study. (Probably be-
cause cigar smokers usually do not
inhale the smoke.)
WASHINGTON.—The Committee
against Pay-As-You-See-TV con-
tended, on the basis of present-day
televiewing habits, that subscription
television “could cost an average
family $1,156 a year for types of pro-
grams now received free.”
The committee filed its statement,
in opposition to any subscription TV
service, with the Federal Communi-
cations Commission (FCC), which
has invited comment to be submitted
through Thursday on pending propo-
sals for toll television.
Only a scattering of industry com-
ment has been received thus far, but
the FCC in recent weeks has opened
thousands of letters from the general
public lining up pro and con on the
question.
Three companies have put specific
subscription television systems before
FCC for approval or rejection—
Zenith Radio Corp., Skiatron TV, Inc.
and International Telemeter Corp.
They have not yet submitted their
principal briefs.
However, all have contended dur-
ing recent months a toll service
would bring the public, at relatively
1 small cost, programs not now avail-
able on “free” television. They have
cited as examples grand opera, top
ballet companies, noted symphony
orchestras, current broadway hits
and first-run movies.
The committee against Pay-As-
You-See-TV is one segment of the
“Organizations for Free-TV,” which
describes itself as a voluntary group
of theatre, television, and radio sta-
tion owners, labor unions, chambers
of commerce, trade associations, set-
owners, the National League of Tele-
viewers, and others.
The committee offered these argu-
ments against paid service:
That it represents a definite threat
to present programs.
That public investment of 10 bil-
lion dollars in 37 million receivers
was made, on the understanding that
programs would be free.
That paid service would burden
those least able to afford it.
That the proposals amount to
“seizure” of an established medium
and would eventually destroy free
TV.
The pending proposals for paid
service all involved the broadcast of
a scrambled signal which could be
viewed only through a decoding de-
vice.
The FCC has said the idea will be
exhaustively examined before any
action is taken.
WASHINGTON.—All future U. S.
coins and paper money woud bear
the inscription “In God We Trust”
under a bill passed Tuesday by the
House and sent to the Senate.
The legislation would make it
mandatory to print the inscription on
paper money as soon as a new print-
ing process established by the gov-
ernment is put into operation.
It also would make it mandatory
to continue engraving the inscription
on metal coins which now bear it
without legal requirement.
