An Issue That
Must Be Settled
The railroad “featherbedding” contro
versy must be settled immediately, if a
stoppage of railroad service which would
do “inestimable” damage to the nation is
tp be avoided.
That is the substance of a report pre
sented to President Kennedy by a special
three-man emergency board. Its members
were a New York judge, of national repu
tation; the president of the University of
California; and a professor at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin Law School. • ■*
The report says: “Should this dispute
erupt into a general railroad strike or lock
out, it would stop all movements on 92 per
cent of the total railroad mileage within
the United States, and render idle 94 per
cent of the industry’s employees. It adds
that, in the board’s opinion, the rival par
ties involved can, if they will approach the
bargaining table in a constructive and tol
erant spirit, resolve the difficulties.
On the specific side, the board recom
mends the elimination of railroad jobs which
modern technology has made unnecessary.
But it also recommends very important pro
tections for the workers involved. The un
ions would retain strong bargaining rights.
Disputes would be subject to negotiation,
either at local levels or by special proce
dures.
It is inconceivable that the nation’s rail
roads will be brought to a halt, even for a
very brief period of time. “Inestimable”
is certainly the right word for the damage
that would be done to the national econo
my, to the national defense, and to the pub
lic as a whole—a category which includes
both rail management and rail workers.
of private enterprise . . . the doctors are
fighting for individual freedom, your free
dom—no matter what you do-—as well as
their own. The principle of individual free
dom is at stake.”
Mr. Williams doesn’t think the doctors
are doing as good a job as they should in
conducting this fight. That is probably
true—they’re too busy taking care of pa
tients, conducting research, and cairying
on their day-in-sund-day-out obligations.
Then, doctors, for the most part, aren't po
litically minded, and lew of them are po- ,
litcallv skilled—which is to their credit!
But they are fighting for individual free
dom.

War-Mongering
Imperialists
Are you aware that the kmg-respected
Boy Scout organization is turning American
youngsters into hostile, war-mongering im
perialists? And that every boy who is
forced into the Scouts is trained to be a
master of all forms of espionage, violence
and germ warfare?
If you aren’t aware of this, you haven’t
been keeping up on your reading. For that
is what the principal Soviet newspaper,
Pravda, has told the Russian people. And
Pravda—which means, of all things, Truth
—is practically required reading in Rus
sia.
That isn’t all. It seems, Pravda con
tinues, that younger boys are forced into
the Cub Scouts, where their preparation
begins for future foul deeds. Even this
doesn’t end the tale. For there is a sister
group known as the Girl Scouts. These
girls, reports Pravda, are unpaid door-to-
door cookie vendors, and the revenues they
obtain . . go directly to the Wall Street
master minds of the entire plot.”
It is difficult for an American to be
lieve, but the Soviet people are fed lies of
this character year after year. It is a
process of brainwashing. There is no ac
cess to a free press.
Here is the reason such strenuous ef
fort is given to possible ways to reach the
Soviet people with western beamed radio
broadcasts and by such other means as
may come to hand. This is a slow process.
But, in time, drops of water wear away
stone.
n*(er W.
Fighting For
Individual Freedom
What is the basic issue in the contro
versy over the bill to provide government
vinedical services for everyone drawing
socialS security benefits—whether or not
theyvwant or need them ?
A good general answer comes from
Editor Nick B. Williams of the Los Angeles
Times. The plan, he says, “. . . involves
a major leap toward socialism ... If the
government can do this to doctors, it also
can do it to steelworkers and insurance
salesmen, to all those who work either for
a fee or for a wage. I don’t want to over
simplify this too much . . . but once the
principle of government responsibility for
services and for scales and wage rates and
profit ceiling is established—and they are
completely inter-related — we will have
made the basic shift away from a system
Raymond Moley writes in Newsweek:
“Since the early 1930’s, zealous proponents
of public power, notably the late Secretary
Ickes, have been waging a cold war against
the privately-owned companies in the West.
Even under the Einsenhower Administra
tion’s policy of partnership, the Interior bu
reaucracy carried on this fight *. . .” And
now, he adds, the drive has been accelerat
ed.
Witness the fight now going on in
South Carolina and Georgia instigated by
the Army Corps of Engineers to take the
last remaining site on the Savannah river
for a dam at Trotters Shoals.
Babcon Discusses
Forest and Pasture Land
Babson Park, Mass., June 6—We have been
taught since childhood “not to put all our eggs in
one basket.” That, however, was when our pa
rents knew nothing about stocks and bonds, but
even then made the mistake sometimes of putting
all their savings in one bank. Well, the invest
ment future is just as uncertain now as it was
fifty years ago. _
FOREST LANDS
Forest lands, like all other investments, have
advantages and disadvantages. Trees grow dur
ing week-ends and holidays as well as any other
day of the year. These trees
have no labor unions and never
argue about “wages.” Their
value depends upon various fac
tors, such as the state the forest
land is in and also how near it
is to transportation to a cutting
mill. Hence, the price varies
from $10.00 an acre to $200.00 an
acre according to the location
and the length of time for the
growth to mature.
Cutover land with spruce or pine trees a foot
or two high may be the best investment for young
people, if it is properly located. However, such
trees in the north are not ready to be cut or sold
for fifty years. Then too, we must not forget the
fire dangers or wind hazards.
WHAT ABOUT PASTURE LAND?
I have been successful in buying pasture land
in Kansas where ^ghass grows which is excellent
for feeding cattle. The cattle raisers of Texas buy
a railroad ticket to ship their steers to the stock-
yards in Kansas City or Chicago to be slaughter
ed and sold for beef. They find that by giving
these steers a stopover in Kansas on their way
north—to be fed on a pasture like mine for two
months—the steers increase materially in weight
and are worth more when they get to market.
Sometimes such pasture land will produce oil.
Your real estate agent will send you a map show
ing what he has to offer for sale and indicating
what the chances are that oil might be found on
your pasture. Pasture land varies in price—from
$75 to $150 an acre—according to the availability
and quality of water for the cattle and also in ac
cordance with the possibility of oil. I have never
heard of anyone taking losses on such pasture
land if it was purchased through a reliable brok
er.* When Texas cattle are pasturing on your land
It is customary to pay a professional caretaker
so much a head for watching the cattle. All of
this information you can get from many sources;
but my business I have handled through the of
fice of Carl C. Chase of Eureka, Kansas. •*—>
TRUSTEES HAVE THEIR
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Many readers of this column have put money
in the hands of trustees of banks or other trustees
in favor of their children and grandchildren.
These trustees have their advantages; they are
careful, honest, an<| reasonable in their charges.
On.the other hand, they naturally do not like to
buy forest or pasture land if it pays no income,
as their fees depend upon the income from the
estate. Therefore, although there are times when
certain non-dividend-paying stocks are really
safer than Dow-Jones gilt-edge stocks, yet trus
tees refrain from buying them because they yield
no income to the trustees.
The trustees’ fees, however, can be so ar
ranged that both the principal involved and the
income received will be recognized. This is both
fairer, and often safer in the long run, for the
benefidlaries. Never hesitate to be liberal with
the trustees upon whom your children and grand
children are depending. Therefore, whether you
are taking care of your own fund or employing
a trustees, I urge yon to.have some of the money
invested in forest or pasture land. Next week I
will discuss real estate; hut this is something en
tirely different from what I am writing about this
week.

Donnybrook
In 1204 a fair was established in the village of Don
nybrook, now a part of Dublin, Ireland. Originally, the
fair was devoted to business, serving as a place where
merchants brought their goods to sell.
Over the years the business aspect declined and the
event developed into a pleasure fair, increasing in bois
terous activity until it was commoidly accompanied by
righting and bloodshed.
The fair became so wild that it was discontinued in
1866. But long before then the term “Donnybrook
fair,” shortened to “donnybrook,” was applied to any
riotous scene or brawl *
