Airport Improvement Needed
It occurs to us that our Municipal Airport is
another avenue of approach to Taylor and will be-
come increasingly important as the years go by.
There are times, however, when we get the
strong feeling there are some who believe its pur-
pose has been served and it should be closed down.
We commend the chamber directors for their
endorsement of the project to improve the airport.
We also appreciate the stand taken by the city com-
missioners in favor of the federal project to improve
the airport on a matching fund basis.
This has taken some courage when we consid-
er the criticism turned their way by some citizens.
However, to maintain a modern city in an age
that was air but is fast becoming space, the least
we can do is to assure that what facilities we have
are maintained and improved as opportunity af-
fords.
One point of criticism revolves around the
feeling that some other local projects should be
done first. This may be a legitimate complaint but
we must consider that we have the matching fund
opportunity now. The airport cannot be put off for
in that case, the federal funds earmarked for Tay-
lor would be spent elsewhere.
v Likewise, those who criticise the acceptance of
federal aid as a handout are not being realistic.
The program is part of our law, and to accept $18,-
000 for airport improvement is part of a program ap-
proved by our lawmakers and supported out of tax
funds.
We also accept federal funds in many of our
agriculture programs without any apparent feeling
of reluctance.
The commissioners are taking a practical ap-
proach to the project and are attempting to work
out the city’s stipend with the least amount of pain.
This is commendable and we feel that local citizens
should be forthright in their expressions of approv-
al to the individual commissioners.
Much that we could know about our airport is
a matter of education. There are planes flying in
and out daily and the use of the facilities there is
ever growing.
From an agriculture standpoint, the strip can -
be used by pilots dusting crops, in insect control
and defoliation, even fertilizing. Farmers who
might fly themselves in their business efforts are
another source of users.
The Texas Aeronautics Commission places
special emphasis on agriculture aviation and it is
a phase on which they work very closely with fly-
ing farmers.
Business makes greater and greater use of air
facilities. A recent industrial prospect flew to Tay-
lor in his own plane and the city would not have
been considered for a factory site had the airport
not been available. At this time, Taylor is still
strongly in the running as an eventual location for
the business.
A great deal could be said in favor of a bet-
ter airport in Taylor. However, the opportunity
is at hand to take another step in improvement and
progress. We are quite willing to stand up and be
counted in favor of the program. We feel other
citizens should inform their city commissioners of
their favorable feelings. They will certainly feel
more encouraged to push this program to comple-
tion if they get encouragement as well as gripes.
The program is well on the way to approval.
A few more steps need to be taken and we feel
there should be no delay.

’Mmmm
Remember
Their Sacrifice
t Occurs to Me...
IT’S FUNNY, sometimes, how
things turn out.
The city was all set to evict
“Buddy” Speckles from, the
“shack” near the Armory in
City Park. The place was an
“eye sore and-'should be tom
down,” the commissioners said
in instructing the city manager
to write Speckles a letter giv-
ing him 30 days to move.
They were unhappy, too, be-
cause this fellow hadn’t paid
his $6-a-month rent in two
years.
Then, all of a sudden, the
commission. was notiied toy
City Attorney Tom Bullion that
they couldn’t evict Speckles, be-
cause the .house wasn’t theirs
to evict Speckles from.
The house is located on pro-
perty the city had leased to
the National Guard for 99
years.
“I was not aware of the sta-
tus of the property,” Bullion
said.
Cromwell said the $6 rent all
this time had included lights
and water and sewer. What it
amounted to was that the city
had been paying for these1 ser-
vices.
Bullion said he had heard the
national guard had asked Speck-
les to look after their property.
He said the house at one time
was a part of a tourist court.
Later it was used by the “Tree
Army” and Speckles supposed-
ly served as a deputy game
warden to look after the ani-
mals in the area.
Until the status of the house
is determined in a conflab with
the guard (and this probably
won’t take place until they
come home Aug. 5), the city
can’t do much, even though,
as Bullion said, it might not
have been the intent of the
city to pass the property on to
the National Guard.
He said he suspected the
guard would let the city move
the house in any event.
At their last meeting, com-
missioners voted to clean the
mess up for the time being
anyway. They agreed to col-
lect two years’ back rent, which
Spedkles offered to pay, and to
put him on separate water and
light meters and let him pay
his own bills. He would have
to pay sewage, too.
Speckles came in over the
weekend and paid up his back
rent—a total of $144.
His deal with the city remains
on a month-to-month basis and
Speckles probably feels secure
at least for the time being.
It still could get complicated.
As Commissioner Jack Soren-
son asked,-“I wonder if we
lost outright to collect the
rent when we leased the pro-
perty to the national guard?”
★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
Who's in the Wringer
Conditions the Outlook
BY PETER EDSON
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn*
WASHINGTON—(NEA)—The White House Conference 6»
Economic Issues wasn’t an hour old before it was obvious that
the big problem is the role of government in a free enterprise
system.
HERE WERE 200 LEADERS of business, labor and represen-
tatives of the general public—principally professors of eco-
nomics. They were invited to Washington to offer specific
solutions to the nation’s worst problems.
And the first thing they did was to turn on government
and tell it to get lost, drop dead, stay out of collectives
bargaining. It wasn’t the expected answer.
Everybody agreed, in principle, with AFL-CIO President
George Meany that workers must be free to organize, bargain
collectively and strike, without dictatorial government inter-
ference.
Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg, as lead-off man speaking
1^Kennedy administration, said the government is com-
mitted to private enterprise as the generator of wealth and to
free collective bargaining as the source of just distribution. It
is against compulsory arbitration, government imposition of the
terms of settlement. It does not propose wage or price controls.
AND THEN CAME the “howevers” and “buts.”
For Goldberg, the exception was that government had to
minimize economic conflicts. Also, that any government popu-
larly elected had a mandate to define the public interest and
lay down guidelines for collective bargaining. The inference
was that the public interest came first, not the interest of
management or labor.
_ It no good. For the man who followed him, President
J. W. Keener of the B. F. Goodrich Co., laid down as tough
a line of opposition to government intervention in labor
management relations as has been heard in years.
, “e ?®3®cted the Kennedy administration guideline that labor
is entitled to annual pay increases equal to gains in produc-
tmty. He declared that introduction of third parties—meaning
the government—into labor disputes led to compromises that
did not settle their separate but mutual interests.
Finally, Keener castigated govemmeM laws which grant to
labor unions privileges denied to management. What he was
shooting at here were the antitrust laws which prevent busi-
ness from combining but do not prevent big unions from shut-
ting down whole industries.
WILLIAM H. DAVIS, veteran labor relations expert who as
chairman of the War Labor Board had a Ieadiiig role in all the
major disputes and headaches of that period, spoke as repre-
sentative for the public. * r
His first proposal was repeal of the 80-day cooling-off
period injunction under the Taft-Hartley law because it
hadn’t worked. But what he advocated in its place was
not less but more government intervention in national
emergencies.
His drastic proposal is that in strikes affecting the public
interest, the government should be given power to seize indus-
ries and draft striking workers. They would be ordered to
esume production, until an impartial board could make a fair
-ward on the issues involved in the dispute.
COMMISSIONERS ARE mull-
ing over plans to modernize
and speedup the tax depart-
ment, in much the same way
the water and sewer depart-
ments were brought up to date
not long ago with the purchase
of a new billing machine.
They can buy an attachment
for about $1,400 (including sup-
plies) which would allow the
tax department to prepare the
tax roll and tax statements in
two days, where it now takes a
secretary six weeks to do the
same thing on a typewriter.
Well, not exactly, because
even with the new attachment,
the secretary would still have
to type in the amount of tax-
es on each of the 5,200 tax
statements that go to city and
school property owners. So the
comparison of two days with
six weeks isn’t quite correct.
It would take some time to
type in the amount of taxes on
that many statements.
Addressograph Corp. ol Aus-
tin seems to think that the rig
will pay for itself by the new
untaxed property it finds by
keeping things, straight.
If the city wanted to take ad-
vantage of the corporation’s ex-
perience in setting up the ori-
ginal rolls to be handled by the
new machine, they could do so
for an extra $750. Otherwise,
city employees would have to
figure things out for them-
selves.
“Would the machine save any
labor costs?” Commissioner F.
E. Holman wanted to know.
Commissioner J. E. Moore
wanted to know if the tax of-
fice would still need a secretary
the year around.
She has other things to do,”
said Cromwell.
“She rarely catches up” com-
mented City Clerk A. M. Ahl-
green.
Moore wanted to know what
the tax collector did all day.
Cromwell said he had many
tax services to render.
The Addressograph Corp. rep-
resentative said tax collectors
should spend at least a fourth
of their time on re-evaluations
to get in more money.
Ahlgreen said it would be
too late to use a machine on
the tax rolls this year, anyway.
The whole thing was tabled
temporarily.

WASHINGTON -Ex-Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson’s
habit of preaching policits from
the pulpit is getting him into
trouble with his fellow Mormons.
The latest protest came from
Nevada Sen. Howard Cannon,
a debout Mormon, who didn’t like
a recent Benson sermon suggest-
ing that President Kennedy asso-
ciated with people with “ barn-
yard morals.”
Cannon complained directly to
David O. McKay, the venerable
Mormon prophet, against Ben-
son’s “innuendo aimed at the
President of the United States.”
In a private letter to the head
of the Mormon church, Cannon
wrote:
“I firmly believe that such a
reference was improper, uncall-
ed for, totally out of place, and
did great harm to our church.
Such comment is certainly be-
neath the dignity which should
be and is attached to the pulpit
in Temple Square . . .
“It has always -been my im-
pression,” added the Nevada sen-
ator, “that the pulpit should not
be used as a place from which to
voice partisan, political views.
Although there might be very
limited occasion when such ac-
tion could be justified, it seems
to me that it is neither proper
nor desirable to advocate a po-
litical viewpoint from, a church
rostrum nor to expound a re-
ligious pholosophy from some po-
litical public forum.
“The remarks of Elder Benson
seemed all the more regrettable,
since they followed the excellent
and sound admonition. , .that we
as church members should sus-
tain and support those who had
been elected to high positions or
public responsibility and that we
should avoid joining or paying
lip service to radical organiza-
tions and individuals on either
extreme of our spectrum.”
Note: Shortly before the Mor-
mon Church took this public
stand against extremist organi-
zations, Benson’s son, Reed,
hastily deserted a right-wing
group he had helped to form call-
ed the All-America Society.
A Virginia Liberal
Rep. Burr Harrison, Democratic
congressman who represents Vir-
ginia’s Shenandoah Valley and its
prosperous apple orchards, is not
running for re-election. Five
Democratic candidates are battl-
ing to take his place.
The other day, Secretary of
Commerce Luther Hodges was in
Winchester to crown Arthur God-
frey’s daughter as apple blossom
queen. His duties as crowner-
of-the-queen were not too eXacL
ing and he had time to check
into the political situation in this
stronghold of Sen. Harry F. Byrd,
biggest apple grower in the
world.
“What are the issues between
the five candidates?” Hodges ask-
ed.
“There are no issues,” he was
told, “They are just running.”
“No differences of opinion be-
tween the candidates at all?”
pressed the secretary of com-
merce.
“Well, possibly one is more lib-
eral than the others,” was the
reply. “He lunched the other day
with Sen. Mike Mansfield.”
Anti - Castor Oil
White-maned Sen. Ken Keating,
able New York Republican, has
discovered that Uncle Sam has
taken too big a dose of castor oil.
The senator found 224,000,000
pounds of castor oil in the govern-
ment sockpile, enough for several
billion distasteful swallows.
But, apparently, Uncle Sam uses
the stuff not to force down the
gullets of protesting children but
to lubricate airplane engines.
Even for this purpose, eathing
believes it is at least 156,000,-
000 pounds too much.
He got started on his castor-
oil quest after hearing from a
Batavia, N.Y., seventh-grade stu-
dent who complained despairing-
ly: “With all the brilliant doctors
and scientists working for the gov-
ernment, senator, wouldn’t you
think they could dream up some-
thing easier or kids to take than
castor oil?”
Keating replied that the gov-
ernment, far from solving the
oroblem, may dump the 156,000,-
000 pounds of surplus castor oil
on the market.
“But I promise you,” he wrote,
“ITI oppose loading that on the
unsuspecting kids.”
Personal File
Here are more questions and
answers from the Merry - Go -
Round mailbag:
Question—Are the Russians spy-
ing on our nuclear te§ts in the
Pacific?” — Frank L. Detroit.
Answer — Soviet subs have
been sighted in the vicinity o
Christmas Island, but Neptune
antisubmarine patrols keep them
from getting too close. Six Rus-
sian surface ships, with radar
antennae, have also taken up
stations about 200 miles: from the
island—close enough to make ac-
curate ovservation. There’s noth
ing we can do about them except
watch the watchers. They are
entitled to freedom of the seas
Question — Is it true that Pres-
ident and Mrs. Kennedy have bro-
ken tradition and banned white
tie-and-tails in the White House?
—Mrs. J. R., Los Angeles.
Answer—The President, who dis
ikes starched-collar formality, fa-
vors black-tie receptions over
white-tie-and-tails. He asked mem
and they agreed. This has been
a boon for most guests, but is a
blow to Washington tailors.
Question—I suggest you investi-
gate jet joy riding at the Patu-
xent Naval Air Station. You’ll
find that Navy fliers have been
taking their wives on flights at
the taxpayers’ expense.—Mrs. D.
D. S., Falls Church, Va.
iePCAirlvto ailru Answehti
Answer — Some wives have
signed up in the Civil Air Patrol
to get around the Navy ban on
unofficial passengers. They sim™
ply put on their patrol uniforms
and go jet joy riding with their
husbands.
Question—I hear Generalissimo
Franco is on his way out as dic-
tator of Spain. Any truth to the
rumor? — I. G., Philadelphia.
Answer — The Catholic Church
has suggested informally to Fran-
co that it’s time for him to step
down. It was similar Catholic
pressure that led Dictator Peron
to leave Argentina.
H/NTS FROM,
Dear Heloise:
I have made a wonderful discovery that I would like
to share with you and your readers:
For years I have been painting ceilings in my
home with a roller, and always end up with a lovely crop
of white “freckles.”
Enamel paint (which I always use in the kitchen
and bath) is very hard to remove. It usually takes some
kind of cleaning solution, and this is not particularly
good for the face.
Before starting to paint, cover the face and neci^
liberally with cold cream. When you are through paint-
ing, just wipe with a facial tissue and all your ugly
“paint freckles” are gone! ;
Needless to say, it’s a good idea to cover your hair
and wear an old, long-sleeved shirt.
Painter Peg
Dear Peg:
I only wish you had told me this a few months i
back! We just painted our entire house. And you
know what? I got some of the painted freckles off
(the hard way of course) but most of the red ones
are still left. i
Painter Heloise
Dear Heloise: -
To make a quick and economical cutting board v. .
use several thicknesses of the newspaper and cover
with a paper towel. No mess to dean up.
The most indispensable tool in my kitchen is my
slotted egg (or pancake) turner, the end of which is on
a slight diagonal — for stirring gravies. Nothing can
beat it because of the enormous surface (compared to a
spoon) that scrapes the bottom of the pan or skillet.
It takes a lot less strokes to do a much better job.
Try his a few times before you laugh.
Reader ■ .
Dear Heloise: |
I make my own homemade chili by having the [
butcher grind my meat. Hamburger meat cooks into
nothing and chili grind is'much coarser. I use one table-
spoon of chili powder and paprika with each pound of]
meat . . . and water to suit my taste. jj
That is my basic recipe. Everyone has her own! no-;
tions as to onions, garlic, tomatoes, etc. So use these tc
fit your own family’s taste.
I make 15 pounds at once. Why do it over
over? I put this in pint plastic containers (square to"
save space in the freezer). At the same time, I makej
an equal number of containers of cooked beans. Thaw,
when ready for use and cook separately and everyone!
can add the amount of cooked beans he desires to his ;j
own bowl of chili. . j;
Great for unexpected guests, by the way.
A Coloradan i;
Dear Heloise:
When I make pastry for pie crust — even the ready
mix type — I add a pinch or two of baking powder to
the dry ingredients before adding the water and mixing
it.
Somehow or other, it seems to make the pastry so
flaky — as if it were rolled in layers, and it is so good!

Economy Looks Sound
Despite Plunging Mart
By SAM DAWSON
AP Business News Analyst
NEW YORK (J1) — A stock mar-
ket with a plunging neckline looks
odd on an economy where most
of the fashion lines feature up-
lift.
Which style will catch on with
the nation’s investors, business-
men—and, perhaps even more
important, the consumers?
Those who are counting on
stock prices steadying at what
they call a realistic if lower level
city the general strength of the
economy. Most sectors are still
rising steadily, if slowly., They
contend that the high prices pre-
viously set by many stocks had
got unrealistically out of line with
current or prospective earnings.
Those who regard the stock
market as a barometer say the
drop in prices means that inves-
tors fear another recession may
follow close on the heels of the
present rise in the economy—
which they deem too slow now to
guarantee momentum.
And many change that the price
Irop was set off by loss of con-
fidence, both by business leaders
and investors, following the gov-
ernment hassle with the steel
companies over the attempt tc
raise prices.
The question neither side pre
ends to answer is what effect a
Iramatic break in stock prices
may have on the average con-
sumer. His spending means more
o the economy than that of ei
her government or business, im
wtant as these are.
There are many historical ex-
amples of consumer confidence
being shaken by what happens on
Vail Street. And with the rapid
widening of stock ownership
among American families in re-
cent years, more consumers are
bers of Congress how they felt, J directly affected by the drop in afairs can boast.
stock values—whether the1 loss be
in actual cash or in paper profits!
This loss could be translated
quickly into a cutback in plans
to spend, especially for luxuries
or non essentials.
But most families tailor their
spending, or taking on of month-
ly payments, to their actual .pay-
checks and the prospects of con*
tinuing income.
With employment high,' Wit
work weeks longer in many in+i
dustries, with wage scales still
tending higher, and with savings!
accounts at record levels, most:
consumers are in position to go
on with present spending plans.
These could change quickly, if
a prolonged and deeper drip ih
stock prices should lead consum-
ers to worry about the outlook
for their paychecks. A cutback ip
business activity could increase
unemployment and shorten Work
weeks.
Outside the stock market, how-
ever, most economists have been
oredicting a good year as a
whole for most forms of busi-
ness. And even the business lead-
ers who have protestedi- loudly
against government interference
in their affairs have, with few
exceptions, forecast good results
for their own firms. The total of
corporate profits rose to a new
high in the early months of the
year.
The economy also has been bol-
stered in the last 30 years by
many built in stabilizers. These
cushion, even if they can’t pre-
vent altogether, deep dips in the
economy.
On these the optimists are buildr
ing their hopes that even the un-
settling rush to sell stocks can’t
an economy with so many strong
points as the current state ,pf
