BUif, TOO East Mlliraukea Street, JaoetvUIe, WUcoasln Page 6 Editorial Page June 15, 1961 Encouragement to Debt Overexpansion of credit, leading to an alarming increase in bankruptcies of individuals, is a cause of growing concern, Some of the efftcts which are gaining attention are outlined in a report published today covering a special meeting of the Rock County Bar While some arms of government are mindful of what is happening and attempting to take the leadership toward correction, others are moving even more strongly in the opposite direction. The case in point is the new federal housing bill. its other provisions, fortunately knocked out for the moment, was that for underwriting home loan mortgages for 40-year periods with no down payments. But Democratic leadership in Congress, backed by the Kennedy administration, is hopeful of getting this provision back into the bill.

Common sense would dictate that a prospective homeowner would be plumb crazy to tie up his earnings for a 40- year period. If a home can't be earned and paid for in less time than that, then renting is indicated. The no-money- down provision smacks strongly of the installment selling business at its worst. Buyers who accept such terms pay for three or four houses in their lifetime, and end up with one that is worn out by the time they limp down to make the last payment. Nevertheless, easy credit is deemed to have great poluical the case of the housing billion worth of appeal.

Unfortunately, unwise borrowers can always be found who will take whatever is offered, even though they may find their bargain a poor one afterward. So we have a spendthrift government attempting to finance its spendthrift people, and a spendthrift people making ever greater demands upon their freewheeling government. It is wonder that those who are labeled as conservatives are consolidating their forces in an effort to exert some political control. They are the ones who are paying the bills and the losses, and at long last they show signs of getting a little tired of it. JOHN WYNGAARD' Hold Those Tractors! Devious maneuvers in Havana on the Castro proposal to trade political and invasion prisoners for American trac- lors are so typical of communism as to have been predictable for weeks.

At last report, representatives of the Tractors for Freedom com.mittee had an interview with the Cuban dictator at his convenience and were told that 500 farm tractors will not satisfy him. He talked about the 500 heavy construction machines he demanded most recently, and suggested farm tractors of equal value ten times the number the committee had planned to offer. ever the eager-beavers, made haste with efforts to meet Castro's proposal in good faith. They are ing that he is not in the same rush. The alternatives, as discussed in this column on June 10.

all favor Castro, with little in the deal for the United States except the doubtful satisfaction of "doing the right thing." Unfortunately, doing the right thing is the last thing that impresses the Communists. On the encouraging side, it appears that we are learning slowly but surely. We still have the tractors over here. Had we been running true to form, they would have been shipped to Castro long before negotiations on the prisoner exchange were Now if we can get our negotiating committee home again without paying through the nose, we at last will have won a minor triumph. WHAT AN HONOR! Students From Africa Searching for Simimer Jobs; Union Labor Concerned Will Help Pay Bills Life Preserver! It isn't in boats that life preservers are most in bathtubs.

The National Office of N'ital Statistics reports that more than twice as many persons drown bathtubs as in 1 m- ming pools or in other handy waters ai-ound home. It's the little children, under fi who are drowned, in swimming pools, but 55 per cent of drownings in bathtubs, both children and adults. There is good reason in requiring every boatman to carry enough life preservers in his boat for every occupant, but a handle on the wall might be the best answer to the bathtub tumbler. Voice of the People By JOEL SELDIN (Herald Tribune Sers'ice) NEW YORK-Students having trouble finding summer jobs this year will have no problem if they can get themselves caught in the middle of the cold war. The ma.xim is illustrated by a sudden rash of efforts to find summer jobs for African exchange students.

The latest reported by the AFL-CIO, says it will encourage its member unions and central bodies not only to find job.s for African students, but will underwrite up to half the cost if the unions take on lor the summer as staff members. Last week, of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg assigned Donald Beatty, of the Ohio Bureau of Unemployment Compensation, to work full time on finding sumir.er job.s for foreign students, with emphasis on the problems of the A number of foundations are to help the in- cludins the Afro-American Student Foundation, the National Student Christian Federation, and the African American Institute. rivalry for the allegiance of the new African republics. The AFL-CIO program is a case in point.

The labor federation, with the government's encouragement, has been courting African labor leaders for some time. It has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars for African labor in various ways, but mostly through the anti Communist Inte Confederation of Free Trade Unions, which has affiliates in 22 African countries.

expressed concern over the job troubles of African students as far back as April.

Nothing Illegal About Closed Party Caucus, But Danger of Abuse Is Present MADISON The most enduring misconception on a Wisconsin public affairs topic involves the privacy of the political party caucus. The issue has been projected into public discussion once more because the Republican majority in the legislature has retreated to a closed caucus room to deliberate ta.x policy and to pound out a ta.x revision bill. There are some critics who feel this is unjust, and improper, and undemocratic, and down-right sneaky. Such a major question should be threshed out in the full light of day, so the millions of people of Wisconsin whose interests arc directly involved know what is going on. The challenge has a certain appeal, it may be supposed, in a state with the sturdy progressive traditions of Wisconsin.

But it is really quite pointless. Tlie Republicans, as an opposition party, are now performing a counterpart function that Gov. Nelson and his staff earlier in the year performed when they wrote the administration tax in strictest privacy. To say that the Republicans should open their doors is as unrealistic as to suggest that the governor should have invited members of his opposition to sit in as monitors when he was developing his own strategy. It is important to keep in mind the essential distinction between the party and the legislative institution.

The political parly in caucus does not legislate. Its conclusions do not have any force of law or any effect whatever in a public way. They are planning perhaps plotting would be a better word in the view of the rival deliberating, sometimes arguing among themselves, and altogether involved in party considerations. When their conclusions are reached, they are required to submit them on the floor, for public consideration and discussion. The caucus is an indispensable element of the political process, and both parties are using the device as a matter of necessity.

It may be illuminating to note that the other day the Democrats held a secret caucus to chart a campaign of speech-making in denunciation of the Republicans' secret caucus on ta.x planning. With all that noted, the observer must also recognize that the caucus can be abused and DR. JOSEPH G. MOLNER To Your Good Health misused and that there arc in that direction. To the extent that a political party caucus will invite inside the closed chambers the agents of special interest groups, as did the Republicans at their tax sessions last week, and deny idrnis- sion to representatives of the press, they are running the risk of making themselves appear ridiculous.

For the lobbyist, by definition, won't keep his secrets. He is paid to relay them to his clients. To the extent that the caucus becomes a substitute for argument and deliberation and explanation on the floor, it becomes a threat to the integrity of the democratic process of lawmaking. There is also that tendency, when the majority party will recess the proceedings at least once, and sometimes twice a day, to review calendars for purposes of organized action on the roll calls. Such caucus deliberations on dozens of individual and minor bills threaten to become substitute for individual study and reflection by responsible legislators.

When the debates are behind closed doors, moreover, the formal proceedings on the floor become less intelligible to the public. FLETCHER KNEBfU Potomac Fever "DEEP COUGH" NEW TEST FOR CANCER There has been a vast amount of talk about lung cancer in recent years, and quite rightly so. The hard question is: What are we going to do about the problem? One simple answer is to say "stop smoking cigarets," and I am sufficiently convinced that this is valid advice. However, I certainly don't think this will prevent all lung cancer, for there is evidence that cigaret smoke isn't guilty all by itself. What about the countless people who were smoking fo' -ears before anybody ever lung cancer? Even if they have stopped smoking now, it's probable that some of them will develop lung cancer anyway.

Can something be done for Yes, if the cancer is discovered early and is removed. I have a current report of an incident in Michigan I am sure similar cases are r-- curring elsewhere) involving a test called "deep cough screening." Many readers are well aware of the Papanicolaou Test, or "Pap test" or "smear test," has been so effective f.nding early cases of cancer of the cervix. This has been so successful that, the test is used periodically, cancer of the cervix loses most of its peril. The "deep cough" test is similar, e.xcept that can't take a smear from the lungs. Instead, the person being tested Sits front of a nebulizer (or vaporizer) and breathes sapor consisting of a salt solution and a wetting agent.

In a few minutes he coughs. Up comes a specimen of sputum, the result of a deep cough, and cells then can be examined, just as the "Pap test," to see if any abnormal, or cancerous ones are present. One man, in for some other was asked, a heavy smoker, aren't He said packs a day since I was 9 years old, and I'm 5S now." He took the deep cough test fvv'hich required about 10 minutes of his timel and three days later the laboratory reported cells indicating cancer. He went back for an which didn't give a positive answer. A second ray, using a different technique, indicated a small tumor in one lung.

It w.il take some experience the "deep cough" test to determine just how good it is. No doubt it will be improved a.s we go along. But I hope and strongly suspect that we are on the way to doing something about lung cancer instead of just about it.

No medical method but I have known voice teachers (either speaking or singing coaches) to have seemingly remarkable success this. I say "seemingly" remarkable, but it really isn't surprising when you realize that a great deal of the quality of the voice depends on the way we use it. The way we breathe, and so on.
