GOVERNMENT ECONOMY A LONG-RUN PROBLEM Whatever happened to the economy in government movement? And whatever happened to an effective public demand for sharp reductions in -essential federal expenditures? These are legitimate- and telling -questions today. We have had a tax cut, and with it a further increase in the federal debt ceiling.

We are still operating on a big deficit basis, even though business activity is at peak or near-peak levels, personal incomes are at all-time highs, and tax collections naturally reflect these facts. Some little time ago there was a vocal and well-publicized -both in and out of Congress for retrenchment in spending that would balance the tax cut and heavily reduce the deficit. These voices, if not pretty well stilled, rarely make the main news columns now. A Washington Report prepared by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States sums up the situation in these words: "Unlike last year, Congress has not been flooded with mail from voters demanding economy in government One apparent reason for the lessening of concern by taxpayers about federal spending is the very skillful and effective job that has been done by the Administration in representing the 1965 federal budget as austere." There are, of course, other reasons. The dreary world situation, highlighted currently by the deepening crisis in Southeast Asia, is certainly one--our minds tend to wander far away from home.

Another is this year's general election characterized as it is by deep, even bitter schisms within both parties the civil rights issue is an example of this. And probably a third is that when the country generally--but not wholly--is enjoying material abundance, it is difficult to maintain interest in the endless stacks of figures that make up a federal budget. To get down to cases, the House has made a number of reductions, some substantial, in appropriation requests. As of June 10, these touched a lengthy list of the departments, and ranged from a cut of $28.6 million for Interior to $925.7 million for the independent offices. But the reductions were under those of last year which the Chamber attributes, in part, to public lethargy.

All this is causing grave, if underpublicized, concern in some authoritative quarters. Senator Byrd, in a letter to President Johnson, said that he would be pleased to see your tremendous energies directed toward restoring the Federal Government of the United States to a sound and satisfactory fiscal condition. No national need today is more urgent." Continued deficits, he added, are signs of weakness, not strength." In his view, spending in fiscal 1965 could and should be reduced at least $6.5 billion under the $97.9 billion budget estimate offered by the Administration. Finally, a number of major spending bills are still in the congressional hopper awaiting action from one or both Houses of Congress. These run a wide gamut--accelerated public works, area redevelopment, mass transit subsidies for states and localities, the anti-poverty plan, pay raises for federal employes including members of Congress, housing and urban renewal, and expansion of the food stamp program.

Whatever one's views as to the merits of any or all of these proposals, their cumulative cost, over the years, would be enormous. Finally, it can be observed that the cause of government economy, whatever its current status, is and will continue to be a long-run problem of top importance. A A Big Island Readers Forum Editor, The Tribune-Herald: For the past few years foreign shows in our community theaters have become exceedbold and morally filthy. Now I have to ingly hesitate and think twice before taking my wife and four small children to any of those modern day shows. Yes, it has come to that point of obscenity.

Something should be done to ban such shows. Are the foreign Vice Consuls in Honolulu aware of the morally corruptive theater shows being exported from their homelands? The law prohibits and levies stiff penalties for filthy magazine sales. The newsstands perhaps are cleaner now, but the theater keeps up the filthy business. Let's clamp down on those filthy shows. AKUA LELE Sly Digs At Red Boo-Boos By RAY CROMLEY WASHINGTON -(NEA)- Whispered jokes in Eastern Europe jab unmercifully at the Communist root of local troubles.

Especially hard-hitting are the East German stories: President Johnson, Lord Home and Khrushchev are driving to a summit conference when they see the devil hot on their trail. To placate him, Johnson throws out five $100 notes. The devil picks them up, counts them, throws them away contemptuously and continues after the car. "Not enough," Home says and throws the devil 10,000 pounds in notes. The devil stops, counts the notes, throws them away and hurries after the car.

At last Khrushchev takes an old envelope from his pocket, scribbles something on it and throws it from the car. The devil picks it up, reads it, blanches, swings around and tears off in the opposite direction. "However did you do 1t, Nikita?" the Westerners ask. "Simple," Khrushchev replies. just wrote 'In two minutes we shall be entering the territory of the German Democratic Republic (Communist East WHEN ULBRICHT (East German Red boss) died he knocked at heaven's gate.

"What are you doing here?" St. Peter asked. "You belong down below." A few days later three devils knocked and told St. Peter: "We are the first refugees." Party membership isn't popular in Poland. In Warsaw it's whispered that a Communist Party member who recruits a candidate for the party will have the right to tell political jokes.

If he can in two candidates, he may resign from the party. Anyone who recruits three candidates will receive a certificate saying he has never been a party member. Uneasy Rochester Lifts Dusk-To-Dawn awn Curfew George Inouye, right, department commander, Disabled American Veterans, congratulates George Taketa, newly installed commander of Hilo Chapter 6, DAV. Addresses Hilo DAV's Ushijima Doubts Early Reapportionment Plan State Sen. John Ushijima, in a talk here Saturday, indicated that he doubts that a reapportionment tionment plan could be worked out in time for this year's elections.

He said the "monumental" apportionment decision by the U.S. Supreme Court had raised many complex problems that require careful study and even more problems could arise in the course of deliberations at the special session of the legislature. Senator Ushijima was guest speaker at the annual installation banquet of Hilo Chapter 6, Disabled American Veterans, at the Islander. He discussed the Supreme Court ruling that both houses of state legislatures must be apportioned on the basis of population, and the resultant problems faced by the legislature. He brought up the question, among others, of just what did the high court mean by "population." It is not clear, he said.

It is also not clear whether reapporshould be on the basis of eligible voters or on the basis of registered voters. Officers of the Hilo chapter were installed by George Inouye, DAV department commander in Hawaii. Installed were; George Taketa, commander; Eugene Eguchi, senior vice commander; Hajime Miyamoto, junior vice commander; Sadao Nishida, adjutant; Hideo Kon, sistant adjutant; Shigeru Ito, treasurer; Tsutomu Samura, judge advocate; Yoshio Higashi, sergeant-atarms; Jack Kondo, chaplain; Shigeru Ushijima, historian; Tom Kadota, service officer.

"Matters of national importance" were discussed by King and Wagner, said one of the mayor's aides.

No small craft warnings were in effect. A ban on all sale of liquor in the Rochester area was extended another 24 hours, however. With its uneasy peace being enforced by hundreds of helmeted state and city police, backed up by National Guardsmen on call if needed, Rochester last night had its calmest night since Friday, when the rioting erupted. Gov. Nelson A.

Rockefeller, who visited the riot areas yesterday, reported then that the situation was in hand. He expressed "shock and great sadness" over what he saw and said the violence was "clear evidence of extremism." The decision to lift the curfew was announced by City Manager Porter W. Homer following a series of meetings with commanders of the National Guard and law-enforcement officials. While the first roll-back in the emergency condition was made, because of the relative calm, tension and apprehension over the possibility of new outbreaks in the current weekend remained. Rockefeller said after his surprise visit that the racial violence was clear evidence tremism that cannot be justified, but he added that i he found no evidence of outside agitators.

He said he felt that there was no connection with the race violence which ripped through New York's Harlem and a Negro area of Brooklyn. The relative quiet in Rochester prompted hopes that some solution could be found to curb the simmering unrest before the week was out. Worried officials said privately they feared another bloody weekend might erupt when factories closed and thousands of workers were released for their normal days off. Rochester's racial strife- fomented by thousands of Negroes and sone whites left a tragic toll of four dead, at least 350 injured and millions of dollars in property damage. Combat ready National Guardsmen, 1,500 strong, stood by prepared to wield bayonets and rifle butts, if necessary, to preserve law and order.

The Guardsmen rolled into Rochester Sunday night on orders from Rockefeller, their commander-in-chief, who acted at the request of local officials. City and state police, backed by firemen with high-pressure hoses, were unable to enforce a dusk-to-dawn 1 curfew Saturday night and Sunday morning. But a show of force by the troops rumbling through the darkened streets in trucks had the desired sobering effect on the rampaging, pillaging mobs. After his tour of the Negro sections--lined with boarded-up store windows shattered by bricks and bottles Rockefeller conferred for 90 minutes with local officials and officers of the National Guard and state police. The Governor told newsmen later that his tour of the battered convinced him that the situation, was in hand.

"The problem now is the preservation of law and order, getting back to normalcy," he said. Meanwhile, three judges working in 12-hour shifts, released with suspended sentences more than two-thirds of the 800- odd persons arrested in the three nights of violence. About 250 prisoners charged with felonies- such as rioting, burglary, or larceny were ordered held for the grand jury -with bai. set at $10,000 cash. Those released, virtually all Negroes, were charged with lesser crimes, including intoxication, disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly.

But, hedging a bit, he gave the shot a 50-50 chance of succeeding, compared with the 1-in-4 chance he had given Ranger 6, which almost made it. JPL, a part of the California Institute of Technology, manages the Ranger program for NASA and builds the payloads. "We are more confident about Ranger 7," Pickering said, "because we have one more shot behind us and some changes have been made to improve reliability of the craft.

"I pelieve the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is now convinced that this is a complex and difficult job, but that we will be able to get pictures of the moon from at least one of the next three shots."

Obituary The collectives are hated perhaps more than anything else the Reds have tried. In Hungary they say that in a certain Red Bloc country the Council of Ministers met to discuss current business. The minister of agriculture was very depressed.

Harvest prospects were poor. Tractors had broken down. Manpower was scarce on the collective farms. In short, there was no end to the difficulties. A colleague tried to encourage him.

"Cheer up. All these diffculties are temporary. There is no doubt communism will triumph in the end and spread worldwide." The minister flung up his hands and whispered: "For heaven's sake, man, don't say things like that. Where would we import our grain from?"
