tfjiptr Moinw Thursday, June 25, 1959 PLUS" UNDER FIRE the "cost-plus" method buying the approximately 41 billion dollars worth of material for the Army, Navy and Air forte, is coming sfeme close scrutiny in Congress. It is about IS years later than it should have been. During World War 11 the various programs mtjde easy to take, and did well financially for involved, both manufacturers and employees in defense plants. Uncle Sam simply footed the bill with no matter what the cost. Now seems the some method of order- alid contracting is still being used.

Congresswoman Griffiths, who once worked for the Detroit Ordnance Bureau, estimates that at least 7 billion dollars a year could be saved by competitive bidding and having one. purchasing agency for all three services.

That 7 billion, we might add, is more than the farm program costs in a single year, too, counting lots that the farmer never sees, too.

Scatter rugs are hazardous on polished floors anywhere in the house, and particularly so at the head or foot of stairways. If there are oldsters in your family, better discard such rugs.

MOVING TO AUSTRALIA Grinheli Herald-Register We are fascinated with Ihe fact thai Stanley Yankus, the Michigan fanner who is having all the trouble wilh the U.S. Government on wheat allotmenls, has finally decided lo move to Auslralia.

But the Michigan farmer thinks thai freedom's future is more se- cur.e in Australia than it is in the U.S. We 'don't necessarily buy the position of Yankus that freedom in tomorrow's world will be greater in Auslralia than in the U.S., but we do buy Ihu position that us government gels bigger and bigger, the individual freedoms get smaller and smaller. The weird part of the whole situation is the facl thai the average person cares not about the creeping encroachments on their individual freedoms.

They cry out occasionally, but soon sink back into their normal lethargic state, and even assist in'hei'ping government get bigger and bigger, and individual freedoms get smaller. At least Mr has the courage of his convictions and is moving to Australia to call attention to the that individual freedoms are being lost here. What we need are a few more spotlights shining on the losses of freedom, so that we hiay become aware of' these losses, lest they soon all be and we not.
