Moment of Hcdifafion

Port Dhlrict Plan on Deal Center
The. House of Representatives this week
approvfd the expenditure of several million
dollars to provide a wider, deeper, stmighter
shipptng channel from Orange to the Gulf of
Mexico.
Senate action on the project is expected
this term and appropriation of the necessary
money is in prospect next year
It is not unreasonable to expev: to see the
work completed in two and a half to three
years.- .
But Orange County cannot expect to reap
arty considerable benefits from the foci era!
government’s millions unless it spends ®
little monev of its own, That money needs
to be spent in providing a port big enough
and. well enough equipped to compete with
other area port’s for the expanding volume
of waterborne commerce mowing in and Out
of this vicinity.
- The first step toward providing such ship-.
ping facilities would be the ere at ion of a
couhtvwide port district. Such a district 'was
authorized by the Texas Legislature last
year but nobody so far has undertaken the
educational campaign necessary to obtaining
approval of the county’s taxpaying voters in
an election.
Once the taxpayers are sold on the plan
the district can be set up with limited tax-
ing authority and can issue bonds necessary
to build the sort of a port Orange County
needs to stay competitive with other area
ports.
Such a district also would be able to cut
Vidor in on the benefits from water shipping
and water-compelled freight rates by con-
structing a canal from the Neches river to
the Western Orange County city.
There isn't a taxpaver in the county who
wouldn't benefit directly or indirectly bv. an
adequate port. The payroll alone would, be
equal to that of a major industry. Purchases
of supplies and services by ships using the
port would run into big figures.
Nobody that we know of is arguing
against the creation of a port district and thg
job of selling the project to the taxpayers
should not be too difficult. *
All we need is for somebody to take the
bull, by the horns and get the movement off
dead center right away so that by the time
the federal government hag completed the
channel improvements the county will be set
up to take full advantage of them. '
WmI OrMK b Facing a Decision
The next few monthswill decide the des-
tiny of West Orange as a city. Decisions by its
citizens must be guided by wisdom and not
guesswork.
The many candidates who have offered
their services to the community will speak
Friday night at West Orange School. They
will outline their plans for operating the
city’s government, and there are big differ-
ences in their thinkipg.
For this reason West Orangeites will have
no one to blame but themselves if bickering
starts in a few months over city policies.
Voters should attend the rally and ask
questions of the candidates who leave a
question of their thinking in the minds of
citizens. It’s your tax money they are spend-
ing, and you can have a voice ih the wav it
is spent, but now is the time to learn df their
plans .not after they are elected.
Taxes, of course, undoubtedly will be
the principal issue in the election. What val-
uations will be used for taxation? Will prop-
erties be assessed at 100 per cent or at 10 or
15 per cent? Your tax rate will depend on
property valuations.
Some candidates feel that West Orange
should follow the pattern recently set by the
Orange school district and city and place
valuations at 100 per cent and set a very low
rate. Others believe valuations should be
held to a minimum and rates should be
higher.
There are arguments for and against
both methods, but after years of study The
Leader favors true valuations and low rates.
Low rates also help to attract home build-
ers and industries. When they look-for sites
their first question is, “What is your tax
rate?”
And. voters, there are those candidates
who feel: “We’ve got what we want now*.
Orange can't swallow us up without our con-
sent, so why bother about any taxes?”
These candidates, ‘and those who follow
their thinking, will admit in a few short
years or months: “This place surely has gone
to the dogs. Wonder what happened?”

Of Pavement Plato
By HU BOVtJF. ....
' NEW YORK (API—Rasdofc le-
Tlectiwrs by a pavement Plato.
Old baebelors are usually more
fimy and Set m their way* than
old maid*—probable because they
don’t 'keep pet cat*
Nobody 1 know ever, mad* a
lifelong friend at a cocktail party.
Did you ever meet a.life insnr-
joe*, saiesru«n who didn’t carry
. a pocket calendar in his. wallet?
Anybody who doesn’t appreciate-
what he ha* now, will never be
’ made happy by what he gets later.
Nine out of 10 men who brag
they are hard-headed can be put
down as intolerant botes.
Just Ain't Fair
The ordinary cop has to get in
a gun battle to get his picture in
the papers. But he performs more
little unnoticed acts of real phil-
anthropy in a week than the aver-
age tniiiionaire does in a year.
Men get more pleasure out of a
new pair of shoes than women do.
but they always feel self-conscious
in new headgear. It is this odd
feeling of inferiority that makes
them jeer so much at women's
hat styles.
Whenever I see a guy tip a hat-
check girl more than two bits. I
can’t help feeling he is a showolf
and probably stingy with his own
wife.
Rapid Conclualon*
On the other hand, when »
woman breaks into tears at a res-
taurant table, why doe* everyone’
in the place leap to the conclusion
she must be wonderful and the
j guy sitting with her is a lousy-
bum? It could just as easily be
the othei wav around.
I never yet met a middle-aged
man who admitted he owned a
raccoon coat in college
Whatever happened to "Wrong
Way" Corrigan, technocracy and
canasta7
Some people confuse mechaniza-
tion with civilization, I feel sorry
for a man who doesn’t bother to
watch a sunset from his back
porch because he knows that in a
year or two he can see it in his
living room on a color television
screen.
The best free, advice T ever
heard eame from an old farmer
who said, "anybody who marrie*
—or buys a horse—in a hurry is
bound to have worries.”
Has anybody noticed, since Dr.
Kinsey’s last book cam* out, that
women are getting any easier to
understand?

Time Is Against Changing Law
Governing Atomic Energy Use
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON (AP)-Ttm* hap ridden like
a ha, op the back «?f the Eisenhower •dmuusnw-'
turn'* efforts to make broad changes in the atomic
law, first passed in IBM, covering the develop-
ment and use of gnomic energy. T
The Republicans were trying to put the**
change* through in Congress ju*t when they, were
a?, so rushing .to get finished with othe;- ms jot leg-
islation *o Congress in this election year could
finish, fey July Si.
* Rut the changes proposed were far-reaching.
Atm th* opjeutons. tp them by a group of Demo-
crats and some others were so .strong that they
**id in effect to the administration; "Whoa, not
so Tun ” They were sore, shorn shc timmg '
Sen. Enow Land of California, Senile Repub-
lican leader, wa* conscious of the time too. lor
months fee bad had hi* eye* *et an that July i
SI target date.
So he began driving the Senate to finish with
the atomic bill and go on with the rest of the
bill* stilt awaiting .Senate action, The .Democrats,
a/dfed fey Senators Langer (R-ND) and Morse
{tnd-Oret. wouldn't be rushed.
Actually, work on the atomic change* began ^
last rear when the Joint Atomic Energy Com-,,
mut.ee; made up of Democrats and Republicans r
from House and Senate, began considering bring-
ing the atomic law- up to date.
IS IMS thefnited States alone-had the secret!,
bomb. Now ■ more then 2*0 countries—including {
Russia. Britain and Canada—have worked' in the (
atomic field, Russia with extraordinary success, f
In me ne one knew hew much progress
might be made in developing atomic energy for
peacefnl purpose*. So everything connected with
this country’* atomic work era* clothed In aogreey
by the Ilk of 1MI.
But -there has been progress, technologically,
which could be pushed for making the atom do
peaceful work. In providing power, for instance, i
And there have been changes in foreign relations j
The United States now, through President!
Eisenhower, has proposed a world pool of non-1
military atomic information for peaceful put;- f
poses. And there is the problem of sharing some ;
atomic military information with this country’s;
allies.
Yet it wasn’t until July 12 that the joint com- 1
mittee's report, explaining the changes in existing
law which would be made by the bill it produced
after ail its, examinations, was given to the sena-
»ors to study. The bill reached the Senate floor
the next day. j
Sen. Lehman <D-Lib-NY i. ene of] the lead-
er* , in the fight against the bill, complained
that the changes it would make were too deep j
and significant to be studied on such short
notice.
Some of those changes would let private in- ,
dustry into the development of atomic energy for
private profit. Whatever work big companies have
done since 1946 has been for the government.
Democrat* protested the bill was so written that
a few companies which already had know-how
from their work with the government, could get
«. ynonopgly.
Atomic energy could be used for power—elec-
tricity—although turning it out that way won't be
economical for years yet. And the Democrats ar-
gued atomic power was something the public,
which paid for atomic research, had a big claim
on.

Two Infants Blind;
Third Losing Sight
FLINT, Mich. (AP)—An incur,
able eye disease has left two 8-
month-old triplet girls blind and
the third sightless in one eye.
The children are Anita Sbe,
Janet Kay and Debora Lynn Price,
daughters of Mr, and, Mrs. Elmer
Price of Flint.
The triplets each, weighed less
than three pounds at birth—last
Nov 25.
Their mother only recently no-
ticed Debora and Janet were
blind. Mrs. Price told doctors the
girls didn’t \rwkeh for things like
other children do. >

Competition Growing Strong
For Good Autumn Position
By RAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (AP)—Competition is sharpen-
ing up in th# dog days. Business management is
getting iii some of its heaviest licks now, fight-
ing for the most favorable position possible in the
fall. ............Ir
The year or the “hard sell” is bringing no-
quarter battles within, industries, and between
industries, M's back of'many of mergers of the
day. It leads to pleas to Congress for relief from
some form* Of competition, and to federal regu-
latory agencies for bBns on "unfair” competition.
Capacity to produce more than the present
market need* light* the ft re under most of the
competition for the consumer's dollar.
The auto, steel, oil, textile and television in-
dustries are examples.
Battles over competing way* of doing things
are another phase. Examples are: the struggle of
bottles, cans and cartons for food and beverage
distribution; and the attempt of the railroads to
compete with trucks by carrying truck-trailers
piggy-back on flat cars.
To the death competition in the auto industry
has lad three mergers among the smaller com-
panies and to talk of still more combining to
come. One aim was . to strengthen Ibe dealer set-
ups of the merged companies, since dealer systems
are the backbone of sales. ■*,

THE GO-BETWEEN. By I* P.
Hartley. Knopf.
"The past is a foreign country:
they do things differently there.”
Thi* Is Hartley’s first sentence,
and It’s a prophetic one, for if you
read it correctly, it’* the story he
tells here of Leo Colston's boy-
hood reviewed by Leo Colston th#
aging man.
In hit sixties Colston, finds hi*
dairy for 1900. wheh he was about
to celebrate hii 13th birthday. It
was at the home of his schoolmate
Marcu#,
Thi* country place a few notch-
es above his home, socially, is a
world too matur* for a boy so
young. Conscious of missing the
significance at some conventional
niceties of behavior, he’s always
a little unsure of himself. If he
can t be right *boul big ones,
either indeed he can't confidently
distinguish big from little.
Marcus’, sister Marian leads him
Into error, A beautiful girl, ah*
could lead any fellow every which
way, and Leo in hi* Innocence
carries note* from her to each of
the two men courting her, Hugh
Tnmingham. a viscount, and Ted
Burges*, plain farmae.
A eoupl* of chapter* about
cricket leave* me at uninformed
4 on the subject as before. The play
on the word Hugh—sounding like
Hugh, who or you—gets almost
*illy. The first pages are too lei-
surely. Otherwise, here’s a grip-
ping story told with unusual sure-
ness. The role of fate, forecast at
the start, is played to its awesome
climax as Leo’s friends plan his
birthday party but try to spare
him the IS candles on the cake.
Ha’a caught fast in a web of his
own making, his elders are caught
in one of theirs. It’s a kind of
“Lady’ Chdlterley’s Lover” love
atory, with a Greek inevitability.
