The problem solvers
Since* we have acquiesced to
Washington experts to solve all
our problems we find some of
them beti K solved In a manner
highly concurrent with the fol-
lowing little story I recently ran
across. It says:
An exhaustive study about fleas
ht<l been decided upon by some
of the Washington Whizkids. The
re sea rebel's laboriously trained a
medium-sired flea, spending many
months and a huge sum of the
tax-payers money, to jump over
their finger everytune one of
them said "Hup."
Then they pulled off two of
the flea's six less Hup" and the
flea jumped over their finger.
Off came two more less still the
flea made it over the finger
Then they pulled off the last
two legs Alas, the flea no longer
moved
The Whu.kids nodded knowing-
ly and proceeded to compile an
enormous puplic document of

Article worth reading
On page 2 of this week's Claude
Nows Is ail article entitled "The
Indwelling Christ ... the Hope
of Glory" by S. S, Lappln. In my
estimation is is one of the most
dynamic articles, touching the
heart of the Christian Gospel, of
any I have read. It searches out
and reveals the mystery behind
God's plan for man. In its sim-
plicity it will touch you as no
other such article can.
Would lay 'em low
H. M. Baggaiiy, editor of The
Tulla Herald, who believes in the
utmost, tolerance of all liberal
causes but is completely indignant
of any conservative utterances,
took a hammer to those "suppos-
edly" opposed to the 1964 wheat
program, and wrote:
"Speaking of farmers, the group
with whom Kennedy seems to
make the poorest showing, if it
wasn't for hanging ourselves, we'd
Just like to see that 45 per cent
get what it deserves. If ever any
group deserved a back-breaking,
spine-tingling depression, it is
that element of agriculture which
calls itself conservative."
I'm sorry H M didn't do a
little more homework on the sub-
ject before he made his spine-
tingling wish, because he is riled
at the wrong group My survey
shows that the actual wheat far-
mer. though mostly conservative
and not greatly in love with this
particular program, will support
it. The ones fighting the hardest
against the program are actually
cattlemen And. amazing enough,
the old boy who is in both the
wheat and cattle business has
misgivings as to which way to
turn
I recently asked a cattleman in
Floyd County why their group was
so strongly opposed to the pro-
gram and he answered. "The cat-
tlemen are scared. With the con-
tinous cut-back in wheat produc-
tion. more and more farmers are
turning to cattle and they will
eventually be a glut on the mar-
ket like wheat."
I dont propose to know many
of the problems of farming and
ranching but I do know when and
if we have a drop in the income
of either you can expect that
spme-tingling depression H M
was half wishing for.
Where we probably have failed
is allowing research to pass us
by that couki develop more uses
for farm products and allow our
various experiment stations to
continue developing methods of
increasing farm yields
Someday we are going to rur.
out of natural resources that are
now used for all kinds of <*n:he-
:;cs which are in competition with
farm products. We need to pre-
serve the natural resources and
use up the farm surplus
The height of asiniuery
Or.e of the nxvt asinine propos-
als I have read in a long time
-J to iv presented to the yearly
Texas convention of Christian
Ch.irvhes on May : The propos-
al is a request that President
John F Kennedy "provide surplus
cr-i ■_< :« the starving Chinese IN
KTP CHINA * We are rvthing
fcs.it iiccer feels if we send any-
th tig :a:e Red China. Help the
ref ugees, yes. in every way pes-
s;cle but we do ncchmg
that would strengthen the Reds
in Chusa
I doct know whether this s a
prvgvval being fostered by the
Nai.xvjil Council of Churches cr
ox hue I would wager a heavjy
oo -«ided guess that virtually e-
very other church convention,
atate and national, will have this
same proposal to consider. Why?
Note: After writing ithe above
article I received more Informa-
tion on the proposal which says,
in part, "The resolution will be
presented to the convention with
recommendation.that it be rejeot-
ed by the more than 1,200 dele-
gates expected to vote on the
issue." Good for them.
The way of civil rights
David Lawrence, Editor oi the
Ute. News & World Report, saya:
The Civil Rights Commission
brazenly charges that in Missis-
sippi "the lawless conduct and
defiance of the Constitution by
certain elements In one State are
being subsidized by the other
States."
What an emotional accusation!
And this comes unanimously from
a commission composed of men
who are not. only trained in the
law but regarded as lenders in the
academic world of today.
The New York "Times" says
that the Commission's recommen-
dation amounts to a proposal to
read Mississippi out of the Union.
It adds:
"We think of no suggestion less
calculated to promote civilized
race relations or to call the in-
flamed passions that erupted in
the Cvil War."
The Washington "Post" says
the recommendation "seems a
drastic and. we think, dangerous
remedy," and declares that cut-
ting off federal financial support
of a State "is much more likely
to foster resistance than compli-
ance" The same editorial points
out that judicial question is in-
volved and that "the normal
manner of determining it is to let
the Department of Justice seek
rulings, as it is now doing, in
federal courts."
Maybe it is time for the mem-
bers of the Civil Rights Commis-
sion to re-read the Constitution.
Poses a problem
What a lot of people fail to
understand, in their attempt to
equalize the voting rights in the
sfllith. is the simple fact that it
will bring quick destruction to
justice and law-and-order in the
there To place the responsibili-
ties of government in unskilled
hands is the quickest way to
destroy freedom for all races
of people The U.S. News &
World Report tells lis this week:
"The preoccupation of U. S of-
ficials with ideas of imposing the •_
American system of government
on underdeveloped countries drew
this comment from a former of-
ficial with much experience in I
