Minn. 56601 Medal of Honor Less Workers WASHINGTON (AP) A Roman Catholic chaplain, killed as he administered last rites to dying and wounded men in Vietnam, is the second chaplain to receive the Medal of Honor.

The medal, being awarded posthumously today, goes to Lt. Vincent R. Capodanno, 37, of StatenIsland, N.Y., who extended his duty tour in Vietnam for 6 months.He was killed Sept.4, 1967, during a battle at a Marine outpost in the Que Son Valley, 30 miles south of Da N'ang. Want Ads Bring WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Department says the number of people needed for administering farm programs atthe local level has dropped 17 per cent since 1960, despite an increase of about 13 per cent in the workload. The reduction resulted mainly from consolidation of some offices operated by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, computerized accounting and changes in routine procedures, officials said.

Torture Shows Validity Of Pueblo's Mission It would be wonderful to think that the release of the 82 surviving members of the crew of the USS Pueblo in time for Christmas was a gesture of good will toward men on the part of the North Koreans, a sign that the spirit of the season, which is not an exclusive Christian possession, had permeated even behind the Bamboo Curtain. Unfortunately, the tales the men have recounted of il months of brutal treatment, verified by their debilitated physical condition, preclude any such assumption. Perhaps it is enough just to be thankful that all of the men but one, who was killed at the time the ship was seized, are alive and in fair health. Their bodies will quickly recover from the ordeal under the loving care of their grateful families, though the invisible mental scars they bear may be another matter. The United States paid a price for their release by signing an apology for the intrusion of the Pueblo into North Korean waters.

It has no more validity than the confessions tortured out of accused witches in the Middle Ages, which is about as far as the Asian Communists have progressed on the scale of civilization. The experience of these men at the hands of the North Koreans is sufficient demonstration of why they had to be where they were when they were captured.

Sell "Too Good To Throw Away" items with Daily Pioneer Want AdsJ The 1969 Farmer's Tax Guide can help answer many questions about Federal income tax that arise from your farming business.

Provisions of the tax law that apply to farmers are explained in everyday language, and samples in the booklet show how these rules are applied to actual farming situations. Copies are available from your county agent's office. This holiday season at the Lydick Lake Civilian Conservation Center on the Chippewa National Forest brought many and varied activities to the corpsmen; according to William E. Morden, center director. In mid-December 60 of the corpsmen, who had been on Center for six months or more, went on Christmas leave to their homes across the Nation.

They returned to the Center on January 5th. Many of the corpsmen from Minnesota were granted three- day passes. This enabled them to spend Christmas Day with their families, plus enjoy several extra hours at home. For the 120 corpsmen that were in residence at the Center, about 40 were taken into homes in the local communities for Christmas Day. This act of friendship is still talked about by the corpsmen.

Their gratitude is extended to all who took part in giving them this wonderful experience. The Christmas Day activities ended on the Center with a Christmas party for the eorps- men. Ice skating was held on Lydick Lake. Staff-corpsmen basketball and volley ball games preceded the distribution of small gifts and the serving of refreshments. A weekend trip to Minneapolis, for almost 30 of the corpsmen, rounded out the events of this Holiday season.

For most of the corpsmen, this was their first Christmas season in Minnesota. A large majority are from the south- ern and eastern states. For many, it was their first Christmas away from home. "We know that the fine community spirit shown by local residents and the planned activities on the Center helped to warm the hearts of these young men away from home," stated Morden. Mail Reaches Homes After 29-year Delay LONDON (AP) The mail from Dunkerque dropped through the mail slots of a score of British homes years late.

PAUL (AP) The Minnesota House will streamline its committee structure to 28 when its permanent operating rules are adopted late today.

The list of committees is included in rules introduced Tuesday and scheduled for debate today. The number of committees will be trimmed by four from 1967 and several have new names. A new Committee on Crime Prevention will be created, along with a new group on regulated industries and utilities. The old Committee on Law Enforcement and Liquor Control will be abolished, with liquor bills going to the new group on regulated industries. There will be no more Game and Fish Committee in the House.

Instead, a Conservation Committee will function in a broader field. The Civil Administration Com- the letters stored in his attic and forwarded them to Col.

Business MIRROR By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Some activities of the Federal Reserve that three weeks ago seemed abstract and irrelevant and therefore of little concern, soon will be felt personally and vitally by a good many Americans.

On Dec. 18 the Fed, which is this nation's central bank, raised to 5 1 per cent from per cent the interest charges on money it makes available to its member banks. This lending-this really the source of the money all of us use in this country. And, in raising the price of credit, the Fed's intention is to price a lot of potential borrowers out of the market. fts action, however, was taken against banks and not individuals.

The average person, having no direct contact with the Fed, couldn't have been less concerned. Let the banks worry about the problem. The banks did worry. The cost of money is to a bank what the price of fabrics is to a clothing manufacturer, or steel to an automaker, or prescription ingredients to a pharmacist. They would have to either raise prices or absorb the increases.

The banks became especially worried by another Fed attitude that made it more difficult to obtain money for later resale regardless of the price they were willing to pay. It declined to permit the banks to raise the rates they could pay in order to attract.certain large corporate deposits. Some banks, therefore, especially the big ones in New York, found themselves not only paying more for the money they borrowed from the Fed but cut off from a very large source of private and corporate funds. Financial analysts realized it was simply a matter of time before one of the big banks could stand the strain no longer and would raise the price of the product, which is loans. The First National City Bank made the move, raising from per cent to 7 per cent the loan rate to its best customers.

This is the point at which the ordinary individual should show some concern. If banks are goingto charge their best, their wealthiest corporate customers, higher prices for loans what are they going to charge the little guy? More. The longer the new record high prime rate remains in existence the more certain it is that mortgages and car loans and personal borrowing costs will rise also. It could be only a matter of two or three weeks. There is some feeling, however, that the rate increases may be near a peak and that, in fact, the prime rate could begin to move down again by spring.

If this becomes the case, the ordinary small borrower could escape without too much added cost. But the prospect isn't worth gambling on. Low Casualties SAIGON (AP) U.S. casualties in Vietnam last week were the lowest in 11 weeks, reflecting the continuing lull in the ground war. South Vietnamese and enemy casualties also were considerably less than the week before.

The U.S. Command announced today that 101 Americans were killed In action last week and 599 were wounded, the lowest American casualties since the week of Oct. when 100 were killed and 589 were wounded. to You HOLDING ON VERSUS DROPPING OUT (1450 kc) VOICE OF PROPHECY MUN. Sunday.
