THE HOPKINS COUNTY ECHO. SULPHUR SPRINGS. TEXAS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1952.
WRIGHT PATMAN S
What Anther Depression Would for us. Other tremendous effect*
of this era still plague us today.
It is frightening today to con-
sider the consequences of another
great depression such as that
which seized the Nation in 1929.
Many of us can well remember
those grim days between 1929 and
In that world without hope, mil-
lions of families were blighted as
the economic realities of the day
reduced the number of children
which could be supported. We also
witness another effect today in
1932, when factory output was that many of our young men and
tut in half, profits disappeared
and corporations went into the
red by $3.4-biIlion. For those who
still liad jobs, wages fell 60 per
Cent. The Nation’s factories rust-
ed in idleness and disrepair. In,
women fail to meet proper health
standards as a direct result of
privations of that period.
To Insure our continued pros-
perity and national safety, more
and more skilled workers, profes-
those days, one farm in four soldjsional men, and military personnel
for taxes. Unemployment soared j arc needed today. These needs
to 15 million. Banks collapsed by!must be met in ever-increasing
Uie thousands, leaving depositors; numbers from the group known
fuined. In 1932 alone, 273,000 as “depression babies.” The losses
home-owners lost their property
through foreclosure and nearly a
thousand homes each day were go-
ipg under the sheriff’s hammer.
No one can begin to estimate the
l)ii| economic losses during those
years. Breadlines and shantytowns,
known as “Hoovetvilles
order of the day!
suffered as a result of the reduc-
ed birth rate and malnutrition are
now becoming critically apparent
twenty years later. As the world
leader among Nations, a repetit-
ion of the events of 1929-32 would
completly destroy us. Neither we
were the : nor the free world could ever sur-
vive such a depression. Those, who

Aa lacraaae In Crime
Last month, the Federal Bureau
of Investigation released some in-
teresting information to the
American people—that crime had
increased 6.4 per cent over the
total for the first six months of
last year. These figures point to
necessity for law enforcement
officials torenew their vigilance
against criminals, yet the problem
has deeper roots.
There is no longer serious argu-
ment against the old saying that,
“Criminals are made, not horn”.
But how they are made becomes a
more complex question. An expert
once said. “The main cause of
crime is crime”. At first glance,
this looks like a meaningless state-
ment. However, it actually means
that criminal behavior moat often
lesuits from association with those
who are criminally inclined. There
is only one sure way to combat
this basic cause. It 1ms long been
my standing conviction that the
real remedy lies in the strength-
ening of the home, family, and
spiritual values, which lies a*
direct road-blocks in the way of
the desire for material gain with-
out moral scruples. All of us may
make significant contributions to
this process in our homes, schools
and churches. In this case, an ounce
of prevention is worth vastly more
than a pound of cure.
Who Controls American Industry?
Much has been written in the
discussion of who actually con-
trols American industry through
tile ownership of stock. However,
recent studies by the Federal Re-
serve Board and the University of
Michigan furnish a current view of
how United States corporations
are controlled. We have heard n
great deal about the spread of
stock in the hands of thousands of
Americans with large and small
incomes and this is undoubtedly
true. However, these new surveys
indicate that approximately 3 per
cent of the 53.1 million families
in the Nation actually own about
four-fifths of all stock in our corp-
orations.
Traditionally, many groups, such
as farmers and wage-earntV,
have turned away from corpora-
tion stock as a method of saving.
This can mean that American in-
dustry has a huge untapped mar-
ket in these groups, which could
serve as a great source of funds
for future industrial expansion
and the continuation of prosperity.
Brief Items
A nationwide poll shows that
while a considerable increase is
expected in commercial building
as a result of the dropping of
chcck-reirm on mortgage credit
under Regulation X, lenders state
that they expect to stick close to
the old rules on /residential credit.
Of the 1.1 million eligible Koraen
War veterans, mor than 32,000
have applied for admission t o
schools under the new G. I. Bill of
Rights, which becomes effective
August 20—Serious droughts in
Eastern Europe this summer will
cause a major food crisis in Rus-
sia and her satellites this winter—

Officers Arrest
Seven on Charges
Of Drunkenness
A siege of drunkenness charges,
the largest number filed in Cor-
poration Court during recent
weekends, resulted in pleas of
guilty by seven men Saturday and
Sunday.
Each paid $13.50 fines.
In County Court, Judge Wayne
Gee heard a plea of guilty to a
driving while intoxicated charge.
The defendent was a Collin Coun-
ty Negro man working here on
the cotton harvest.
In the city court, a man pleaded
guilty to failure to remove hogs
outside the city limits and paid
a $10 fine. Police officers said
the man was warned several times
lo move the hogs following com-
plaints from neighbors.
Three traffic cases filed by city
patrolmen netted two guilty pleas
and $13.50 fines in each case.
The Negio man convicted on
the DWI count was fined $80.30
and given a year’s jail sentence,
which was probated.
