The Paris News from Paris, Texas • Page 6

i. PJKTUXt Has Advice to-let THE PARIS, TEXAS, NEWS people of the First of TBXM in particular, state la general, will best re-election of Wright Patman, asks that the voters con- attUT weighing what they think food what they believe to be bad or not so good. The Paris News believes ithiat when thin is done Mr. Patman will be returned to the Congress, and have the influence that is gained by service. Paris News does not believe that taj detail of what has been done for the people of the District largely through Mr.

Patman's influence and knowledge of state as well as of national affairs, is necessary in this connection. The people have been kept informed of what the Congressman snd what he opposes. They are well aware of the things that have been done for the public benefit in which he has had a leading part. His record is open and can be defended should it be criticised. When a vote is cast for him The Paris News believes that the voters will know exactly what he or she Is doing.

The Paris News has not heretofore seen eye-to-eye with Mr. Patman on everything that he has said and done. It does not expect to rubber stamp everything that he may do in the future. That would be the case, no matter who the Representative in the Congress might be. That is the attitude of Paris News toward any and all elected or appointed public servants.

But Tfce Paris News does believe that Mr. Patman has performed valuable service, it does believe that he will continue to do that, and unless and until that belief is changed by future action of Mr. Patman, which The Paris News would believe to be not in the best interests of the people of the First Texas Congressional District, this newspaper will continue to commend him to the people of the district. City Council is considering and sometimes adopting various changes in the traffic roles it might be well to do something about the abuse of the so-called loading zones. Designed to allow trucks? to load or vsM vftkeot traffic, they an MM for steading trucks that an dotaf Mithar, aad often for passenger that pay parking fee.

The fair thing would be to pat meters where are now the sonet, charge no parking tot to tracks actually loading or unloading, but charge them when they stand idle not only minutes but for hours to convenience the owner. Releasing Radio From Libel Suits There is a bill now in the hands of a conference committee of the Congress, because the details differ in the two versions enacted by the Senate and House. The conference will try to reach an agreement, and if so the bill they draw will be laid before each house for final passage or disapproval. The bill provides that radio stations that sell time to a political candidate must sell the same amount of time to any or all opponents who may ask for it, at the same price, and that political speeches may not be charged higher prices than are charged other users. The Federal Communications Commission, which controls radio in all its phases, has ruled that stations cannot censor political speeches and cannot be held liable by suit for what the speaker might say.

But some station owners fear that the ruling by the Commission might not prevent a libel suit, so they asked for, and the bill contains, a provision releasing stations from liability. Some members of the House said this might lead to a flood of defamatory statements and would take away the legal remedy of the person who might claim he was libeled. The law of libel now makes a newspaper liable to suit if it publishes something claimed to be libelous. It would seem to be only fair, if radio stations are released from liability, that newspapers be given the same immunity. And it would be fair for both, for the person who claimed he was libeled would have his remedy by suing the utterer of the alleged libel.

Apparently the reason for the law making newspapers liable is because very often the libeler has nothing which the aggrieved person could get as damages, while a newspaper does have. That could be cured by making the libel a criminal action, instead of one of personal damage, and fining or jailing the Hfcoler. 0ftEW PEARSON Domestic Problems Restrain From Candidacy lot has been said about the reasons why able Gov. Adlai Illinois does not waat to run President Probably I most cogent reason is his (family. Wives have played an part in the lives of presidents and presidential candidates, from the days of Thomas Jeffer- ison through Abraham Lin.

i'coln who was never happy witfc-his to the late great Arthur Vandenberg who never really wanted to run for President because of a former friendship a lady diplomat. There is nothing secret or unusual about Governor Stevenson's domestic problems. They are no discredit to him. He was unhappily married for many years, is now divorced, arid is reported to be in love with Miss Dorothy Fosdick, daughter of the noted Baptist clergyman, Harry Emerson Fosdick. Miss Fosdick is now a member of the State Department's policy and planning board, one of the top diplomatic jobs in the nation.

But politics is a cruel business. And a man who runs for President virtually has to sacrifice children and marital happiness, to say nothing of facing the opposition of those church leaders who do not believe in divorce. Governor Stevenson's wife was Ellen Borden of Chicago, daughter of a Chicago lawyer and no relation to the Borden Milk family. Mrs. Stevenson, however, always seemed to look down her nose just a bit at marrying a boy from the Corn Belt, even though Adlai was the grandson of a vice president of the United States.

SHE DIDNT particularly like living in downstate Bloomington, where Adlai owns an Interest in The Pantagraph, of which he was once assistant editor. In Chicago she was happier. There she used to write sonnets, was considered a better than average poetess, and had a fairly good play, in verse, produced by 9 college theatre. Came the election of Franklin Roosevelt in 1932 and Adlai went to Washington as special counsel to Henry Wallace's AAA, returning to Chicago after a year to practice law, then going back to Washington just before Pearl Harbor as'assistant to Frank Knox, a Republican, whom FDR had made Secretary of the Navy. i Ellen Stevenson scoffed at returning to Washington.

She complained that Adlai's friends always talked politics or economics. They didn't understand art. In fact, they didn't even know the difference between a sonnet and a canto. She also complained that Adlai was always "assistant to somebody." He always played second fiddle. He was assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, later assistant' to the Secretary of State, and he was assistant to the U.

S. Delegation on establishing the United Nations. But he was never top dog. Mrs. Stevenson did, however, like England.

Adlai went to London with tha U. S. Ecbnomic Mission toward the end of the war, and there Ellen found congenial people. They appreciated literature and she was happy.

The increases range from 3V4 to 8V4 cents a dozen cans or jars, at the factory. The agency estimated the retail price will rise by about a cent a can for canned baby meats, but not more than half a cent a can for other baby foods. The increase reflects increased transportation and wage costs in the industry. Air Ace Assigned To California Base SAN BERNARDINO. Calif.

They have plastered the auto owners with these expensive stickers to be worn decorously on because the city budget is in such sad shape that they need more dough. This Is not really the taxpayers' problem, because the poor bum is already taxed out of his mind, what with luxury taxes, income taxes, state and federal, sales taxes end hidden taxes. But they can jail and fine you for no sticker on the windshield. The gal that works for me has Is a little convertible which enough over the weight limit of 3500 pounds to demand a ten buck sticker.

Her fathr-r has more expensive car, but of lighter construction so he gets by for five bucks. THAT MAKES no more sense than the arbitrary right to punish a peasant for the thrift and self- denial that made the purchase of the auto possible. It is merely projection of governmental Attitude which says simply: public be damned. Hit him over the head until he drops. Hell hold still for it.

There is much fine talk about a re evaluation of the budget and the removal of the head tax on autos. But if you will inspect the past you will notice that once they paste a tax on anything, they are awful loath to ungiue it. Taxes do not go down, friends. Taxes always go up. Once the public has become accustomed to the added burden, the politicians' way is to leavfl the load as is.

You would think that the purchase of property would be regarded as a sort of merit badge, a monument to thrift, and would be applauded. The purchase of an automobile by my gal means she has saved extensively from the meager wages she gets irom me. In a way she has kept the steel business, the electrical business, the oil business the whole inner core of American exonomy alive. But pays an exorbitant insurance rite on her car. She pays this blackmail nuisance sticker shakedown.

She pays a whopping tax on gas snd oil. She pays a sales tax on the outright acquisition of the. auto. She pays for licenses and driving permits. She is not riding a car she flies to work on a tax blank.

IN EFFECT, she is being punished. They are telling the girl not to don't buy 4 car, because it's too much trouble for what you eet out of It.

Neville GLANCES Editor The Paris Ntwi Slaves Were Given Medical Service Many of the documents in the lies of the probate court of Lamar County have items that tell of incidents of living in the early days. One especially attracted my attention as it prool that slaves were not mistreated by every owner in the manner so horoughly misstated by Mrs. Stowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Dr. B. By waters was 'a physician in the Roxton community. Vmung his patients was the James McGlasson family. Late in 1864 he rendered Mrs.

McGlasson a iiate- uent for medical services during be early months of that year. He Jad visited and prescribed for the Negroes belonging to the McGlasson family. He made 29 visits for which bis fee was $1.50, amounting to $43.50. Toe statement had a credit of 210 poondc of pork at 5 cents a pound and a bottle of morphine returned, valued at $2, leaving a balance of $31. A note at the bottom of the statement said, "You can see the Items which, if you do not understand, 1 will explain when I see you.

I have directed Harriet to send you some oil, turpentine and an almanac." J. C. McGlasson, executor of the estate, noted that the balance would be paid with pork. When it was paid, December 5, 1365, the war had closed and pork was selling at 40 cents a pound, eight times the price when the bill mis made. A.

His bank was among the first, maybe the very first, in Texas to have women in its employ, two of his daughters being in the bank when I first knew Honey Grove near seventy yeara ago.

HefiaXratioa for washer tounuBaeat Democratic Denison Preps for GOP Ike By The Associated Press Denison was one town in Texas that suspended its political differences this past week and went to work preparing a greeting for a very famous native Dwight Eisenhower. The general is flying to Denison on Saturday June 21. He's a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and is one of the men Texas are feuding over. Denison doesn't have many Republicans compared to the number of Democrats.

But nobody worried about party affiliation and every- Dody pitched in. The Gold Star Mothers who Invited the general and his wife to visit his birthplace already have their committees working. They; have the women's to decorate the house, what kind of flowers to give Mrs. Eisenhower, what to serve. They're planning a real reception at the little white frame house where Eisenhower was bom in 1890.

The house itself, a story and a half sitting on the wrong side of the tracks in town, was gleaming white. A bevy of spruced it up Saturday. General and Mrs. Elsenhower will go to the little white house first Then civic leaders hope he will make a speech from the bandstand in the city park, but this isn't on the schedule yet. The Eisenhowers will fly here from Denver, probably landing at nearby Perrln Air Force Base.

Perrin officials said Saturday the plane could use a runway, subject to confirmation from their higher authority. Elsenhower is going to Dallas on the afternoon of June 21 for a press conference at 4 p.m. and a dinner that night. He'll be the guest of H. J.

(Jack) Porter of Houston, state Eisenhower campaign leader, at the dinner. Contesting Elsenhower delegates from Texas have been invited to meet him there. The contest between Eisenhower supporters and backers of Sea. Robert Taft In Texas has been presented to the National. Republican Committee in Washington.

Texas has 38 delegates to the National GOP Convention. Both Taft and Eisenhower supporters have named their own delegations. The national committee must first decide whether the contest should involve all 38 delegates or Just the six named at large. 5,300 Pounds Of Steel Needed For Jet Engine WASHINGTON Is a large output of steel so vital to arms production? The armed forces made available today, in answer to questions, figures showing th tremendous amount of steel of various kinds needed for weapons and equipment. Here are some examples: An average Jet engine requires 5,300 pounds of steel; the airframe for an F86 interceptor plane about 3,000 pounds; a B36 bomber 86,000 amounts of the steel used, part of the weight being machined away in the prbcess of making the finished product.

A big forging press, needed to form the wing spars and other parts of jet fighters and bombers, requires 1,700 tons of steel. The lack of forging presses has been a major bottleneck In aircraft production. The Army Is an even bigger user of steel. To make a medium tank of 48 tons It uses ilS.OOO pounds of steel. A new effort to build up antiaircraft defenses is under way And a 120-mllllmeter antiaircraft gun weighs 61,500 pounds, a 90- mllllmeter 32,300 pounds, a 75.
