Kayes said the basis of The Crossett Plan is zoning of business, industrial, and residential areas. But the paragraph that (fctood out forcefully in the News' story was this one: "Company policy supported by city ordinances have led to a business program that could park 2,800 automobiles the business streets. Business sites generally had three times as much parking space as business space, Kayes said, and traffic control has been established through main arteries." The Crossett Co.

was famous a generation ago for pioneering the idea of a perpetual timber-cut that would build up a community instead of gutting the forests and leaving a ghost town It was attracting national attention back in the 1920's when I was a young editor at neighboring El Dorado and today's bold conception of how a modern town A)ught to handle the parking problem carries on the Crossett tradition, All over America downtown real estate values are sagging because an unimaginative landlord class have failed to recognize the compulsion put upon shopping habits by the automobile. It is a condition common to both large and small cities. But in the larger towns more is being done to meet situation. In some metropolitan 'areas almost every other building is being torn down to make a lot or converted to a multi-story garage to house the cars of patrons of the businesses occupying the remaining structures. Many an old building that was losing money for its owners has thus become a profit-maker as a satellite for the business next door.

The striking fact about the cur- $rent case is that it is happening in a small city. Crossett is to be congratulated and the Crossett Company.

NEA Telephoto Rockefeller Weds 3-Time Divorcee HAYDEN LAIC, Idaho, (UP) Winthrop Rockefeller, 44-year-old fheir to America's largest oil fortune, and his bride, the former Jeanette Edris of New York honeymooning today at an undisclosed location.

Rockefeller and his bride were married yesterday in a simple civil rite performed by Judge M. M. Humphrey of Coeur D'Alene at the mountain summer home of the bride's father. Following a brief reception for families and close friends, 'the newlyweds left for an undisclosed honeymoon location. Best man at the ceremony was Dr.

Graham Hawks of New York. The bride's attendant was her daughter, Ane Bartley. It was the second marriage for Rockefeller and the fourth for his bride. i Weather Now a Problem to Farmers face the possibility of reduced crops this year unless they get more rain and the weather warms up soon. In its monthly crop report late yesterday, the Agriculture Department said prospects on June 1 were the lowest since 1945.

Production that year was about 12 per cent below last year's near record volume. A combination of drought conditions in many areas and unusuallj I cool growing weather contributed to the adverse outlook. Any sizable reduction in production especially of cotton, corn, other feed grains, tobacco and rice would help relieve surplus problems. Prices could be expected to increase. The department emphasized, however, that it.

to forecast the possible 'size" of 'crops, explaining that favorable changes in the weather would improve the picture. The wheat crop the only major one for which a production estimate was given was put at 923 million bushels. While this would be the smallest crop since 1943, there would be no shortage. Reserve and surplus supplies on hand amount to nearly 1,100,000,000 bushels. The report said needed rains in May brightened the future somewhat for large acreages of corn, cotton, soybeans, sorghums and other crops just getting a start.

However, many sections still had insufficient rain and badly needed more soil moisture, the report said.

British Deport Leaderof Greek Church LONDON (UP) Yard deported the London head of the Greek Orthodox church early today in its first major crackdown on Cypriot anti-British activity in Britain.

The Former Lord for the Manor Has Become Something of a Mouse Right in His Own House BY HAL BOYLE NEW YORK Are you the boss in your family, mister? If you are, you are an unusual husband and father. It is getting harder and harder in our times for a man to act the role of the family boss.

The former lord of the manor has become something of a mouse in his own house. Some psychologists say it is a good thing that father is no longer the final boss. They believe the modern family doesn't need a boss, that authority and responsibility can be shared. Maybe so, but I doubt it. You can't run a railroad or any other business without a boss, and I suspect the same thing is true of a family.

A family, of course, isn't a business but it has to be a going concern, and it needs someone at the head of it who, in a crisis, pan make a final decision to which the others agree. It is fashionable in literature now to picture the old fashioned father as a tyrant who often inflicted his will on his family in a selfish manner, who ruled by fear more than by love. But is this portrait true? I suspect it to be false. I believe that most old fashioned fathers held their authority because their children both loved and respected them. The trouble with the modern father is that he often is either too spineless or lay to assume the proud family role nature intended him to take.

No wonder his children treat him like a harmless middle-aged fossil. That's what he is. I had an old fashioned father. He and my mother married young and had five children. While Continued on Page Sis Sight Restored by Storage Eye-Bank By ALTON L.

BLAKESLE AP Science Reporter CHICAGO A revolutionary new kind of dry-storage eye bank is giving sight to 10 once-blinded humans, a physician said today. They are seeing the world again through borrowed corneas or "windows" of the human eye. But these corneas were first dehydrated and then stored very simply for weeks or months. Present eye banks can keep corneas in good shape under refrigeration for only a few days before they deteriorate. Blind patients sometimes spend expensive hospital stays until corneas, donated from dead persons, can reach them to try to restore sight.

Untold thousands of persons in this country and over the world are blind simply because their own corneas in the front of the eye have been clouded, scarred or damaed by disease or accident. Other thousands appear willing to donate their own eyes after death to help these blind. The new method takes the water out of the cornea tissue, permitting simple storage in a test-tube, under vacuum, for months. Corneas presumably could be shipped anywhere needed. Secondary Roods Getting Paved LITTLE ROCK Wl Arkansas will have only about 2,000 miles of unpaved secondary roads at the nd of this year, compared to around 4.000 when the Arkansas lighway Commission in its pre- ent form took over in early 1953, Highway Director Herbert Eldidge said yesterday.

And Eldridge added that surfac- ng of the previously-unpaved por- ions of the primary system has jeen completed or is under con- ract except for a recently-added ection Highway 29 in Monroe County. The highway director said that widening and resurfacing of High- A-ay 67 from Little Rock to Tex arkana and Highway 70 from Lille Rock to Memphis would be completed "within a year. Similar vork on Highway 67 from Little- Sock to Newport has been completed or programmed, Eldridge said.

PSCOkaysPlan Bringing Gas to Smaller Towns 'LITTLE ROCK (Special) and more Arkansas towns which are slightly off the path the gas pipelines are seeking (and getting) Public Service Commission endorsement of a comparatively new plan for bringing gas service to.

their citizens. Five Yell County towns are the latest to file applications for PSC approval under which the proceeds of municipal revenue bond issues will be used to finance construction of transmission lines and distribution facilities which will then be placed under the management of Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. Ark La pioneered in this field, working out the first such agreement in 1953 with the town of Forernan. Since then, Chidester, Dover, Dumas, Grady and Gould have entered into similar operating arrangements with Ark-La. of eight Poinsett and Crittenden County towns have this type of contract with Mid South Gas another group of four towns in the northern part of Mississippi County contracted with Arkansas-Missouri Power while still another group of three in Benton County, in the northwcs tip of Arkansas, made arrange ments Arkansas Western Gas Co.

The plan appears to be beneficial ail around. The gas companies are able to put their fuel into a new set of homes and industries without making a heavy initial in vestment in facilities. The municipal tax-free bonds, which finance the facilities, are good investments, virtually guaranteed by the operating company's rental agreement, and at least one bond broker has purchased millions of dollars worth of these issues in the past three years. Last, but not least, the new cus- omers have gas, which costs them more than it does the gas company's "regular" customers, but less than other fuels, according to testimony incorporatec in PSC transcripts of hearings on tho various applications, The pattern was set when the Arkansas Louisiana Gas enter ed into the first such contract with Foreman, in 1953. The town sold bonds and with the proceeds built approximately 16 miles ol transmission line and a distribu tion system, then leased the works to Ark-La for 20 years.

The latter pays anual rentals sufficient to cover interest anu principal payments on the municipal bond issue. It also pays all op erating expense of the utility, taxes, insurance and the like. The lease, contract gives the company an option to purchase at any time. Although none of the gas companies has yet exercised thi. purchase option, authorities say that acquisition is contemplated whenever about half the construction cost is repaid, or, in other words, whenever the invest- ent in the plant is reduced to the point where it can be taken care of at standard rates.

The difference between "standard" charged Ark-La's domestic customers in Little Rock, for the rates charged by these "municipal" gas systems is illustrated by a comparison with the schedule approved May 18 for Grady, Dumas and Gould customers. In Little Rofk, the minimum, $1.10, pays for the first 1,000 cu. It. of gas used, compared to a $1.50 minimum for the same amount in the Lincoln and Desha County towns. The next 9,000 cu.

ft. costs 47 cents per 1,000 cu. while in Grady, Dumas and Gould, the cost is 90 cents per MCF for the next 4,000 cu. ft. and 75 cents per MCF for all gas used thereafter.

In Little Rock the domestic rate schedule graduates down to a 27-cent rate for all over 25.000 cu. ft.

Sees Smear of Stalin Plan to Aid New Dictator By DON DIXON WASHINGTON, Secretary of State John Foter Dulle expteed feat- today that 'Soviet Communist Party Boss Nikita S. Khruhchev may have denounced Joseph Stalin only to solidify the dictatorial rule of the preent Rusan leadership.

Dulles told a news conference we can hope that Khruchev' revelations" concerning the late Soviet premier "will mark the be- gining of a change away from that system of dictatorship. "But that, I fear, may not be his purpose. The purpose may be merely to persuade the subject peop lethat the present dictator- hip is good, because It condemns the pat dictatorhip." Dulles told reporter "there is only one cure for the evil of the imposed is government which derives its from the consent of the govern ed." He thereby challenged the Kremlin's leaders to meet what he called the desires of the Soviet people and give them greater freedom. The cabinet officer said that so far there has been no evidence of any change in the dictatorial system which historically has always produced various kinds of Stalinism. Dulles acknowledged that there has been some relaxation of the pressures on the Soviet people in recent times but said that the fearful dictatorship continues.

Dulles also told his news conference: Schedule of Swim Classes Announced by Instructor Swimming Instructor Kay Kent announced the schedule of classes as follows; Advanced swimmers Monday, Wednesday and Fridays 8 to Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays 10-11; Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday 9 to 10 and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday front 10 to 11.

House Probers Cite Negro Red for Contempt WASHINGTON, (UP) The House Committee on Un-American activities voted unanimously today to cite Negro Singer Paul Robeson for contempt of Congress. The action came moments after Robeson refused to say whether he is a Communist. He shouted at committee members: "You are the non-patriots and you are the un Americans and you ought to be ashamed of yourselves." Committee Chairman Francis E. Walter immediately banged his gavel and announced the hearing adjourned.

"I think it should be," Robeson commented. "I've stood just about as much of this as I can," Walter said. "You should adjourn this forever," Robeson snapped over his shoulder as he left the wintess stand.

Ike Aides Are Told to Pare Aid Request By JACK BELL WASHINGTON W) Senate Republican leaders reportedly have told President Eisenhower's aides bluntly to pare administration for eign aid requests below $4,300,000,000.
