PAGE THE BAYTOWN SUN. SATURDAY. 26. Editorials Bible Verse THERE HATH NO temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be abie to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13.

si ants Worlds Of Red Tape If anyone thinks the man who runs a retaH store has an easy time of it, he should read some of the directives put out by the Office of Price Stabilization concerning what retailers, and people in allied lines such, as eating places, must do to conform with the price control law. These directives, in. many cases, are extremely complex. To comply with them, a great variety of the retailer may or may not have on be consulted. An enormous amount of work, of course, is involved.

News reports say that OPS officials have been disappointed'by the fact that a great many businessmen just haven't done what the law requires within the time alloted them to make their reports and post their price lists. This, it can be confidently said, isn't because retailers and others are callous law breakers. It simply reflects the fact that many of them, particularly small operators, haven't the time, the staffs or the knowledge to comply with regulations which have puzzled some of the top experts on business management and procedure. It reflects the further fact that, on numerous occasions, OPS field men haven't fully understood the orders, either, and that, on other occasions, orders have conflicted with each other and have been impossible to follow. This always happens when government takes a hand in running the economy and puts an army of eager bureaucrats in charge.

The retailers, the restaurant keepers, and everybody else want to be good law-abiding citizens and do their full part in'the current effort to check price inflation. But about all they get out of it is more and more headaches. And the situation seems to be getting more confused all the time. Colleges Have Troubles -The row at Rollins College in Florida is in that the youthful president, Paul A- Wagner, refused to accept as valid the decision of the trustees, by a majority of one. to replace him.

But the situation behind the row.at Holiins is confronting practically all other private institutions of higher learning. The students, lower income, higher costs. Students will be somewhat fewer next year because of the demands of selective service. However, they will not be so few as had been feared some months ago. For one thing, the local draft boards- are to wait until some time in.

August, when the results of the forthcoming intelligence tests Si will be shown, to begin to induct students who had been deferred for the present eol- lege year. The draft age is to be lowered to IS 1 not to 18. More veterans are expected to enroll under the GI Bill of Rights in col- leges before the deadline date of July 25, 1951. Many students not being graduated this year are veterans immune from the 9JM draft, and deferment will probably be con- Hi tinued for students in the ROTC. When it comes to college income, how- rSS-j ever, the outlook is still full of gloom.

Jeges and universities are receiving fewer gyS and smaller donations as higher taxes af flict the wealthy. There is very definitely a limit on.how much tuition fees can be increased. Endowment fund returns are lower; they provided 23 per cent of total revenues of private colleges in 1940. only 12 per cent in 1948. As for higher costs in education, they have nearly doubled over a decade.

The abler members of college faculties can hardly be retained unless their salaries are raised enough to keep their families above the penury level in these high-cost-of-h'v- ing days. And no college is better than its facultv. Too Many Midgets Shockinng disclosures of scandal in high places is evidence that mental and moral midgets are today playing havoc with our country's political and econmic foundation. Integrity in government is one of the great issues confronting Americans. must have more public officials in with dignity and self-restraint, men of deep moral conviction who understand the obligations of public Such men must develop and extend the beachhead of Constitutional American government, and set the highest possible standards of honor and probity in the public service.

By Freti Hartman FKOM GI IN KOREA A YOUNG MAN from now fighting ia Korea recently wrote a letter to his boss. There were several things about Korea he didn't like, and he said so frankly. And there was one thinng he said about who are still at home that will make you stop and think. The jist of it was that we don't realize just how well off we are here enjoying life in this great country. YOU CAN STILL VOTE IT'S NOT TOO late to vote in the school bond election today.

The polls won't close until 7 p.m. Your vote for the bonds will be a vote for the youngsters of Baytown. Could you conceive of a greater opportunity than to cast a ballot that will react to the benefit of your children, or your neighbor's children? SOMEBODY'S DOING SO5IE WORK SOMEBODY IS DOING some work around the School Administration office, and I don't mean in the tax office either. I mean out in front on the lawn. They are digging up flower beds.

They're installing some slick- looking curb alongside the flower beds. That is and should be one of the prettiest lawns in town when they get it strung out. Then between the building and town there on the hillside that leads down to the creek bed, they've cleared that off and probably are going to landscape the surface. That ought to be something, but it was something that school officials visualized years ago when they stuck their necks out and bought all that land from the Pruett Estate. That purchase was big money back in the days of the purchase, but recent events have proved the only land buys in the history of the country that even approached it were the Louisiana Purchase and the buying of Alaska from Russia.

YOUNGSTERS 5L4KE GREAT RECORDS YOUNGSTERS ARE REALLY distinguishing themselves in higher institutions of learning these days. And I mean Baytown youngsters. Imagine that youngster. Alsey Newton, winning that Rice Scholarship. And in today's paper is that story about Leon Harmon who compiled that great scholastic record at Texas Technological College.

One of my favorites through the years has been Jere Showalter Jr. He's graduated from. Baylor and hasn't decided whether to go with Uncle Sam this summer or enter Baylor Law School until such time as Uncle wants him. The first time I ever saw Rupert Wright was the year he was graduating from Baytown Junior High School. Then Principal'J.

M. Stuart called on Rupert for a speech at a banquet. Rupe said he wanted to go to REL and play a little football for the Ganders. He did that, too, and then went on to Baylor and played there. In a recent mail was an invitation to Ruper's graduation.

Speaking of scholars, have you heard about Jack Kraft? He entered the service and about the second day at Lackland, they gave him a job teaching mathematics. The next thing I knew, he was out in California taking some Army mathematics at the U. of California or at UCLA or at USC. Then-a later report has it that the Army is sending him to Harvard next year for some super-dooper mathematics. If I get it right, he's going to invade the field of numerical analysis (whatever that is).

Brother, these kids are getting smart, aren't they? Did you see all about young Walter Rundell? They're really throwing the book at him at the University of Texas commencemennt. He'll have to borrow- a Lee College truck to bring his honors home. I like to see these young people get all smartened up. Maybe they can figure a way out of all this mess we've gotten into in this country. At least, they should do a better job than we've done.

This generation's chief claim to fame will be that it developed a team of All-America debt makers. Now if some generation will come along and develop some All-America debt payers, we'll be all right. TEXAS STEEL SCOOP THE FIRST STEEL ever produced in Texas for foreign markets has "started a trip from Lone Star Steel's East Texas plant to Puerto R.ico by way of Port Houston. Twenty-four carloads were sent to Houston by rail and from there will go to the final resting place for use on the Puerto Rico Aqueduct Maybe one of these days Texas will make so much steel it'll make Pittsburgh and' Birmingham look like bush leaguers. -The Baytown Sun, at Pearce and Aahbel in Baytown, Texas Fred Hartman Editor and Publisher Syd S.

Press League at the RE-DECORATION DAY Reviewing Stand: Here's New Competition For Gas Company By HENRY McLEMORE If you should be visiting me next winter and hear me tell the maid that the house is a bit too warm and would she please go and turn down the cow. don't make a bolt for the door, thinking I'm crazy. Always one to try out the latest sould see my face!) 11 intend to heat apartment I i a co reading a dispatch from Sweden.

Here is the itm: An engineer has discov- ered that a cow i in a comforta- ble shed in ter produces 80,1000 BTU of heat every 24 hours. McLemore and that the cow doesn't heed that much. In an experiment he stole the surplus heat of 40 cows, piped it into a farmhouse, and found that it kept five rooms comfortable warm. Of course, I may not use a cow, but some other animal, or animals, which would be more practical. A cow is pretty as a cow, in we'd have to put her in the guest room.

And as sure as we did, she'd use the fancy guest towels, and, as you knew. nothing makes anyone madder than to have a guest use the guest towel- Too. New York doesn't get as cold as it does in Sweden, so I believe we'll be able to get by with smaller animals: for heating purposes. I don't know offhand how -many BTU's (British Thermal Units) a billygoat throws off. but it seems to me that a standard model bil- lygoat would be 5 us about the right heating unit for a kitchen.

And. of course, he would be ideal as a four-legged garbage disposal unit- Naturally, anyone doing the cooking would have to be on the qui vive when leaning over to put a pie in the oven. A small moose, or "nsoosette," as it is properly known, would be ideal for the hall and living room. I happen to know offhand just what a moosette turns out in the way of thermal when standing still, and well over 100.000 when galloping around a lix-ing room. The mosette's antlers are ideal for hats and coats, and with those big eyes he can serve as a makeup mirror for the ladies.

We plan to use a bear for a stove in the bedroom. All bears throw off the same amount of heat, but we are going to use a black bear to match the color scheme in the bedroom. It has black drapes, black walls, black rugs, black furniture, black spreads, black windows, and black sheets, even. The last constitutes a great saving in laundry bills. I haven't done it yet, but I can't imagine anything more comfortable than getting out of bed on a cold morning and stepping onto a nice, warm bear, instead of a cold, black floor.

There was no trouble in deciding what animal to get to keep the bathroom warm. A monkey's a natural. Hell have the shower curtain to swing on, and the toothpaste and shaving cream to amuse himself when the room is warm enough and we have him turned off. Til bet you one thing. Once I introduce animal heating into this country, and prove how practical and sensible it is.

some movie star, wanting to show off, will rent Ringling Brothers circus for the centra! heating unit in his or her Hollywood mansion. Looking At Life Washington Dispatch: South Korea Government No Help To Allies By Erich Brandeis IT HAS BECOME quite the fashion for "reformed" crooks. Communists and other formerly bad boys and girls to make a business of their reformation. They go around the country making speeches and delivering lectures telling others how they did it and patting themselves on the back, proud of their new-found strength and willpower. Sometimes admission is charged for these lectures.

Sometimes there is a collection. But usually money is involved somehow. Most of the time this reform thing 5s just bunk. GOD LOVES A repentant sinner. That we have been told long ago, and I believe it to be true.

But God does not love a braggart or someone who makes a business out of having ostensibly turned his face to God. Repentance means being ashamed of. one's past misdemeanors or shortcomings. Flaunting them, bragging about one's virtue in overcoming them, making money out of that "reform" is not really reform at all but commercialized sham-reform. JUST THJ3 OTHER day a "reformed" dope-addict got himself a whole column in a New York newspaper about visiting a jail and telling a lot of women prisoners who were serving time for dope-addiction how he "conquered himself" and how they could do it, According to the paper, he talked to them In the of the underworld -which they understood.

Ke toid them how he turned to God and how God helped him. There also a money-raising scheme connected with this fellow's talks for some campaign that is supposed to cure these addicts. I don't say that this es-dope-addict-iecturer is dishonest. The cause in itself may be good. But I don't like commercialism and exploitation of "reform." I don't, like it any more than those "reformed" Communists who write sensational books about the evils of Communism and who snitch on their former paymasters.

OiST MONDAYS I usually read extracts from the sermons made by prominent New York ministers. So I was glad to read about Dr. R. J.

Chang claimed he had headed a screening committee which had examined these Communist soldiers and had decided that it be safe to let them go.

According to Chang, the PvVs were "victims of circumstances" and were really not Reds but had been forced to join the North Korean army. Chang wanted them to be either inducted into the South Korean army or put to work on farms. Major General John B. Coniter. deputy commander of the Eighth Army, who was handling the matter, flatly said no.

He voiced little faith in Chang's screening methods and his assertion that the PVvs were compelled to be Reds. Coulter pointed cut that there are still 8000 guerrillas behind UN lines, and that it would be very risky to turn another 35,000 North Koreans loose to possibly join the guerrillas. When Chang was rebuffed. President Rhee then attempted to go over Coulter's head by taking the matter direct to General Van The, result was the game. Van Fleet backed Coulter to the hilt.

Later, when General Ridgway heard.about it, he vigorously supported tin-fir stand. Note: Under General Arthtir, Rhee got away with a lot because of his personal friendship with the ousted Far Eastern commander. Generals Van Fleet and 'Coulter are handling Rhee and his quarreling cabinet with kid gloves, but at tho seme time permitting no monkey business." The "US commanders are FARM are not the only ones at bitter odds over the President's proposal to fix farm parity price on an annual basis in order to tighten up price controls. Two Republican members of the Agriculture Committee ashed hotly over the issue at a Oaed-door meeting. They were Senators George iken.

Vermont. and Milton oisng. North Dakota, both known 5 liberals and both leaders on irm legislation. Usually, they see yc-to-eye. but this time they were jlcs apart.

Aiken started the hubbub by characterizing the president's proposal as "downright nonsense, "they'll change the parity formula over my dead body, and I hope over the dead body of every member of this committee. This whole idea is sheer lunacy. It merely proves that the whole price control program is no good. We ought to threw it all out." "I see you're talking the straight Farm Bureau Federation line, 1 rc- ir.arked Young. "I'm sorry to see that-- I've always considered you an independent thinker." "Are you accusing me of parroting the demanded "Jt may happen that my views coincide with those of the federation, but I can tel! you that they are r.iy own and no one "1 made no accusation, George." replied Young, "and you know it.

Maybe you're getting a little touchy on this subject. I can see why you would be. Let's put it this way, that your ideas just hapc-pa to coincide with those of Allan Kline (head of the federation) and his group, and that I'm sorry to see you take that position because it's a wrong one." "Are you supporting this administration scheme?" demanded Aiken. "That's an amazing spec- tack-, I must say." 7 I am and maybe Fm retorted Young, "and if Quotations From Great we have now is a coalition government which ia fundamentally opposed to most of the programs of the Paul Douglas (D- Illinois).

I haven't decided my position will be, but just because the administration's proposal would change the existing parity formula is no reason to reject it without even examining it. After ali, parity is now on a monthly basis and that's ait arbitrary period of Jt could be put on a daily or a weekly basis, and that would be arbitrary, too. So to say that we'll adjust it yearly is no more arbitrary than what we're doing now.
