PAGE TWENTY Government May Issue Bonus Savings Bonds THE DAILY PLAINSMAN, Huron, South Dakota WASHINGTON (AP) The government is 'considering a new. higher interest savings bond as part of a drive to coax Americans into lending mare jnooey to fight the Viet Nam war. President Johnson announced that plans are under way to ex- pand the savings bond program 1 and at another point Tuesday threw in a hint that taxes might be raised also to help pay for the war. "Aj soon as I know what our eutgo is going to be," said the President during a bill-signing, "We will take steps to see that eur income meets it." Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler said savings bond proposals include one for a bond which would pay more in- terest than the 4.15 per cent of- fered nowi by standard Seriei bonds held to maturity.

Fowler would not say what the higher interest rate might be, but said it would be attrac- tive if not wholly competitive other savings yields. Such a bond could not be turned in ahead of its maturity date, unlike the always-cashable bond. That sort of plan would paral- lel a recent development in bor- rowing by some private banks, which offer higher interest for deposits that cannot be re- claimed for a given period of time. Ironically, the President Is to sign today an interest rate bill whose net effect may be to cut back on some of those higher rates which banks are offering and which some experts partial- ly blame for the tight home mortgage market. Fowler said another proposal is to give the purchaser of each regular bond the opportunity to purchase a higher-interest bond of the same denomination.

Fowler said any new bond would be offered as part of a massive advertising promotion of the regular bond program. It's theme: Support the boys in Viet Nam by loaning money to your government. LBJ May Kidnap GOP Issue By Citing Spending Cutbacks WASHINGTON (AP) Con- gressional Republicans suspect President Johnson is getting ready to try to kidnap their in- flation issue by announcing pro- posed spending cutbacks before the November elections. Johnson said in signing a par- cel post rate-increase bill Tues- day that when he sees what Congress does with the regular money bills ht will ask depart- ments and agencies how much they can save and announce the results. While the President gave no Indication of the timing in- volved, Republicans believe that if Congress winds up its work by mid-October Johnson will come up with some figures shortly before the Nov.

8 voting. Both Democrats and Republi- cans have voted for more spending than Johnson asked in many categories this year. Senate Republican leader Ev- erett M. Dirksen said GOP members of Congress are going to continue what he called their efforts to cut back on spending as ths roost effective way of combatting inflation. Chief target at the moment, Dirksen said, is the Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) money bill.

Approved at a level by the House, it is expected to be ballooned considerably when it conies be- fore the Senate for debate. "Wre going to try to cut the HEW bill, the antipoverty pro- 'gram and everything else that comes along," Dirksen said in an interview. Dirksen told a news confer- ence Tuesday he could not pre- dict whether Congress will ad- journ around Oct. 15 or. recess then until after the election.

A recess would put off action on a supplemental, catch-all appro- priations measure until after the voting is over. "We'll have to struggle a good deal to adjourn by Oct. 15 and it 'doesn't look he said. While Dirksen declined to join in a House Republican charge that Johnson plans to accelerate the Viet Nam war after the vote results have been pinned down, he said he is informed that addi- rot USED CARS SEE 0.

Aide To LBJ Dies Of Drug Overdose WASHINGTON (AP)--Autop- sy findings attribute the death of James Moyers, an assist- ant to President Johnson, (o an overdose of medically pre- scribed drugs. Moyers, 39, died Saturday at his home in nearby McLean, Va.

He was a brother of White House press secretary Bill D. Moyers. The autopsy was conducted by Dr. Stephen J. Sheeny, medical examiner for Arlington County, Va.

Tuesday night's announce- ment of the findings did not identify the drug involved or give other details. A spokesman for the family said James Moyers had been in severe pain since the summer of 1965, when doctors learned that he was suffering from cancer. This was the first word that Moyers had cancer. It had been said earlier that he suffered from stomach trouble. NROTC Test Applications Due Nov.

All-American Cheer-Leader OLD CROW Famous, Smooth, Mellow Introduce New Approach To Science In Huron Elementary Grade Schools By MOHAN GOLDSTEIN NEW YORK (AP) The mo- tion picture industry has a new set of production guidelines, eliminating many specific ta- boos, but living Hollywood's Production Code Administra- tion, for the first time, the pow- er to label certain films "rec- ommended for mature au- diences." The new code, in effect, gives filmmakers more leeway in treating sex, sin and violence, but also gives production code officials more flexibility in deciding what will get its "seal of approval." According to Jack Valenti, new head of the Motion Picture Association of America, the use of the "mature audience" tag says, basically: "Look, Mr. Parent, this may not be a pic- ture you want your child to MITCHELL'S COLORFUL CORN PALACE, gayly decorated with dozens of colors and breeds of corn, currently is the center of South Dakota's largest indoor fall show, the 74th annual Corn Palace Production. This year's show, which opened Sunday, will include 10 performances featuring Tennessee Ernie Ford, concluding on Sat- urday, Sept. 24. This year's decoration project was delayed by the summer drought which reduced the local crop of red and blue corn, grown in the Mitchell area.

Some special last-minute rush work completed the exterior decorating which each year follows a different theme.

Probation officer'i THE TEXTBOOK, published by the Laidlaw Brothers Pub- lishing of River Forest, was explained at a workshop here Tuesday for more than 50 elementary school teachers and administrators.

Miss Patricia Dinsdale, sci- ence consultant with the pub- lishing company, who conducted the workshop, said, "The pur- pose of science is to help the child to understand the world in which he lives." "This textbook will help the youngster learn to use the skills of a scientist by developing and using the skills of science as he accumulates information," Miss Dinsdale said. THE TEXTBOOK is being used in grades three through sixth and, according to Miss Dinsdale, "it's a concept that isn't new." "Good science Instructors have always stamped their sci- ence programs with this char- acteristic in spile of the tra- ditional subject oriented text- books," she said. THE TEXTBOOK will help pupils discover that the skills of science, dependent upon analy- sis, observation, experimenta- tion and careful thought, are the most powerful tools a sci- entist has, as they permit him to use all of his mind's re- sources, Miss Dinsdale added. Mrs. Elaine Latnpert, curricu- lum coordinator for the Huron Public Schools, said four follow- up will he held with the teachers at each grade level, after the book has been used for one month.

These meetings will be conducted by John Liedle, Lincoln School principal. Sirs. Lampert also said the educational television programs on science in the fifth and sixth grades will be used in conjunc- tion with the corresponding unit in the new textbook.

French Head During Nazi Reign Dies PARIS (AP) --Paul Reynaud, premier of France when the country was overrun by the Ger- man armies in 1940, died today at the American Hospital. He was 87. Reynaud was a minister In several governments before and after World War II but he was always remembered as the man who headed the government at the fall of Trance. He was a deputy in the National Assem- bly almost continuously from 1915 until 1962. Reynaud favored the return of Gen.

Charles de Gaulle to power in 1958 and was president of the consultative committee that drew up the constitution for the Fifth Republic. Reynaud later charged that De Gaulle had violated his own constitution and broke with him. In the 1962 legislative elections, Reynaud was defeated by a Gaullist candidate. In recent years he had written articles and books criticizing De Gaulle's foreign policy, espe- cially his effort to draw clear of American influence. Reynaud was taken to the American Hospital in suburban Neuilly Tuesday night for an ap- pendix operation.

The hospital said he died at 7:40 this morn- ing. A peppery little man, Key. naud carried his years lightly. He credited his good health to a session of calisthenics each morning before breakfast. In the National Assembly he sat among the independent dep- uties, and his head bobbed con- tinously during debates.

He did not speak frequently, but when ho mounted the rostrum allies and enemies alike were atten- tive. In IMS, when he was 71, Rey. naud married Christiane Ma- bire, who had been his secre- tary. They had two sons and a daughter who survive him. He is also survived by a daughter from his first marriage.

PEOPLE DO READ ADS! YOU ARE! WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 196U Movie Code Eliminates Many Taboos see." Valenti, former special assist- ant to President Johnson, an- nounced the adoption of the re- vised production code at a news conference Tuesday. The Production Code Admin- istration, now beaded by Geof- frey If. Shuitock, provides the rules on film content and treat- ment for the guidance of the major American film compa- nies. All subscribe to the code, but are not legally bound to abide by it. The original code was adopted in 1930 and, because of changing times and changing morals, has been revised several times.

However, in recent years, the industry has been under in- creasing criticism as it has produced films more daring in content and treatment. Critics threatened censorship, local and Revolt Against Rep. Powell Veers From Head-On Gash By JOHN BECKLEK WASHINGTON (AP) the revolt against Hep, Adam Clay- ton Powell has taken a new turn, aimed away from a head- on clash between Powell and his chief challenger, Kep. Sam M. Gibbons, D-Fla.

Thirteen Democrats on Pow- ell's Education and Labor Com- mittee have come up with a new set of rules changes that would leave Powell at least a greater appearance of power than Gib- bons' original proposal. The new a a was worked out Tuesday in a day- long series of meetings. It ended with a delegation calling on Powell in hopes of winning his approval and heading off a bruising fight when the rules changes are to be vot- ed on. Powell was noncommittal. Asked later if he was consid- ering the proposal, the Neri" York Democrat, a Negro, said: "I am considering what a nice time this would be to be in Puerto Rico." But it was believed by some who spoke to him that he would go along in the end with at least the major proposed reforms.

The new plan would leave Powell in nominal charge of committee affairs but a majori- ty of the 21 Democrats in the committee could overrule him on such key matters as schedul- ing legislation, hiring and firing staff members and spending committee funds. In effect, all chairmen are subject to majority rule of their committees, but this would put a majority of the Democrats or 11 members in control. Those participating in the meetings and signing a state- ment agreeing to the proposed rules changes were Reps. John Brademas, Hugh L. Car- ey, N.Y.; William D.

Ford, N.Y.; Edith Green, Wil- liam 'D. Hathaway, Maine; Lloyd Meeds, Patsy H. Mink, Hawaii; James G. O'- Hara, Roman C. Pucin- ski, James H.

Scheuer, N.Y., and Gibbons. In addition, Reps. Frank Thompson N.J., and Ralph J. Scott, N.C., also signed. Only three more votes would be needed to make a majority of the 31-member committee in favor of reform, and they are believed available from among the 10 Republican members.

Children In Kentucky School Give Idea What Governor Is By BILL KAWLINS KENTUCKY DAM VILLAGE, Ky. (AP) "A governor," said David Hall, "is somebody who owns the state." "A governor gets his job by being a nice observed Lisa Perokovich. Lisa and David are among the T-year-olds in Mitii Roberts' second grade at the Gilberts- ville, elementary school which is situated within 50 feet of the Southern Governors Con- ference. The school was before the meeting hall, and one result has been a strange mingling of Eagles Lodge Is Backing Prayer Bui The Huron Fraternal Order of Eagles is joining Eagle organiza- tions throughout the country in spearhearing a drive urging Con- gress to enact the proposed con- stitutional amendment of Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois, which would permit voluntary participa- tion in prayer by students in public schools.

Announcement of the local aerie's part in the campaign was made by Don Benston, worthy president of Huron Aerie 3265. Benston noted that a resolution supporting the amendment was unanimously adopted by dele- gates to the 1966 International Convention of Eagles held in Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 3-6. A delegation has been named to seek support in the project from other Huron service clubs and fraternities. The Dirksen amendment would overrule a recent U.

S. Supreme Court decision which held that recitation of prayer in public- supported schools is contrary to the constitutional prohibition re- specting establishing of a religion by a governing body. "We of the Eagles see no con- nection between voluntary prayer and the establishing of a re- ligion," Benston said. "We feel that, as our convention states, 'a well-balanced training of youth in the American disciplines and cultures would better be carried out in our schools if students were permitted to voluntarily call upon a Supreme Being for recess and news conferences on the school lawn. Many of the youngsters are convinced the governors came here just to see them.

"To in- spect the school," is the way one lad put A newsman interrupted an exercise in modern math Tues- day to obtain the second-grade view of the goings-on. Virtually all bands In the class went up when the young- sters asked, "How do you tell the governors from the oth- er people here 7" "They're the ones with the flowers and white things (rib- bons) on their coats," respond- ed Marty Osborne. The governors might be some- what disturbed to learn that several youngsters, when asked how a governor gets his job, replied, "The President named him" or "President Johnson picks him." Ruth Ann Wommack said, "The people vote for him." Asked what a democracy is, David Hall allowed, "It's some- thing like a lot of wars." Asked what a governor does, Tony Moore suggested, "He's the one who tells all the generals what to do." When the class learned that the governor's wife is called the ''first lady," it was Mary Jane Dedmon who explained why: "Because she is the first lady the asked to marry liim Astronauts Plan Goodwill Mission WASHINGTON (AP)-Gcrnini 11 astronaut Cmdr.

Film producers, at tht same time, cried for more lety way to treat more mature ma- terial, especially to counter the more daring foreign film fare. Revision of the code became the No, 1 chore of Valenti when he was named head of the MPAA last April.

The result was the new code which, Valenti said, has two majn objectives: to "encourage artistic expression by expanding creative freedom" and "to as- sure that the freedom that en- courages the artist remains re- sponsible and sensitive to the standards of the larger socie- ty." "This is self-restraint, self- regulation and self-discipline. We want to make clear that ex- pansion of the artist's freedom doesn't mean tolerance of li- cense," Valenti said. Done away with in the new code are specific taboos on "lustful kissing," "complete nudity in fact or silhouette" and passions that "stimulate baser emotions." It had eight para- graphs specifically banning any treatment of abortion, the use of seduction or rape as material for comedy and "sex perver- sions or any inference to it;" In the revised code, this sec- tion is replaced by a more inter- pretive standard stating: "Illicit sex relationships shall not be justified" and demanding "re- straint and care In presenta- tions dealing with sex aberra- tions."
