Editorial—
State Department Regrets
I
Dear Editor:
The United States State Department recently ex-! Most people do net deal with
loan sharks. So it is entirely
possible that Texans are not a-
/
pressed Its “regrets" because of the decision to use
United Nations funds to finance an agricultural project
in Cuba.
The State Department says It has been assured that
AO American funds would go to Cuba, but the fact Is
that American contributions to the United Nations are
the largest, by, far, of any country.
If we wish to see that the U.N. does not aid the
Cuban regime of Fidel Castro we must either cut off
all aid until such a pledge Is received or admit there Is
nothing we can do about it. It Is quite possible that the
UJf. would go ahead and carry out its Cuban program
despite our ultimatum.
In that event, we would save some money and could
do with some saving. And the United Nations would
bear the responsibility of not having the money to aid
free, backward countries. As matters now stand, our
•'regrets” are particularly futile and mean nothing —
except that Castro and his supporters will hoot that the
UJf. decision was another defeat for the United States.

wan of what would happen to
credit buyers under the so-call-
ed “Anti-Loan Shark Bill" pass-
ed by the Senate.
Since this Mil was authored
by Corpus Christ! Senator Bra-
ce Reagan, I feel a responsibi-
lity, as. a resident of Corpus
Christl, to tell the people of Tex-
as what happened during the
debate on this bill, which I
heard from the Senate gallery.
Senator Frank Owen of El
Paso deserves the gratitude of
every credit buyer in Texas for
his courageous battle againt the
loan sharks and against this bill.
Senator Owen farced the sup-
porters of the Reagan bill to
admit that Texas now has a law
setting the legal limit on inter-
est at a total of ten percent.
Any charges over that amount
are usurious and state and coun-
ty' law enforcement agencies
should enforce this law. If the
ten percent interest cannot be
enforced, there is no reason to
assume that setting a higher li-
mit would solve the problem ex-
cept by legalizing it. Had the
Senate been sincerely interest-
ed in protecting the borrower.

There are some who feel that Secretary Rusk should

Rusk with a deal, in which further withdrawal from
Cuba is tied to an Allied withdrawal from Berlin.
There are also fears that the new Franco-German
alliance might complicate Washington-Bonn cooperat-

to reopen negotiations on Berlin at the moment. We

No matter how much some Dixie Democrats belittle
Vice President Lyndcn B. Johnson, and no matter how
much scorn they cast upon him as a defender of con-
stitutional processes, the Vice President again saved the
day for southern Senators In the recent rules fight open-
ing this session of Congress.
He was, in the final analysis, the key man, and on
his decision whether to rule in favor of the liberal bloc’s
contention hung the chances of the liberals, to change
the Senate’s rules. Among other things, the Vice Presi-
dent said:

dent is a figurehead. It is a question whether the Vice

kind of short move expected.
“Okay,” a man called. "Stand
away from the door. I’m going
to try to break it down."
There was a splintering
crash, the door burst open, and
a man catapulted into the room.
He raught Jill in his arms
and stared at her. She stood
in the eircle of his arms, star-
ing into level gray eyes. She
knew him. she thought in that
"Will you be all right here?”
he asked. He had a quiet voice.
She nodded, then asked,
“Where are you going?”
"I just want to look around.”
“You—please be careful.”
He smiled at her. “I’ll be very
careful. I have t ason to be—
now. And don’t move. Walt for
me."

IT WAS nearly twenty min-
* utes before he came back.
By the time he reached her aide
she was able to look at him
with cool detachment.
“Did you find—anyone?"
He shook his head, "No one
there, but someone has been
using the place for something.
Upstairs I found a padlocked
door. I couldn't break it down.”
He grinned. "Probably that’s
just as well. I already have to
account to the owner for break-
ing and entering.”
“You needn’t worry about
that. Tm the owner, Gillian
Bellamy.”
“You!” There was a long si-
lence before he said. “I am—

“Well, The Man with the
Broken * Nose,” she said, "is
missing.”
He laughed. “Missing—one
man with a broken nose. Do
you want to find him?”
"Not a man. Just a head,"
she explained. She told him
about the mystery ot the
Praxitelea buat which her
father had loved and which he
•owned to have sold.
“And that’s all that has hap-
pened ?”
“All! With a lump on my
head and one on my ankle and

her without any particular
emphasis. "It's over.”
They were in front of Mrs.
Meam's house.
The fresh-faced, kindly wom-
an who opened the door was
middle-aged, with an ample
figure covered by a big apron.
She looked In surprise from
Jill, her face and dress streaked
with dirt, to the young man in

“Gillian! What’s happened,

“Aunt Sally!” The girl flung
herself into the arms of the

tears. Mrs. Meam rocked her
