COMMENTS ON MEN ANP THINGS
We Americans thrive on ex
citement, but we have had an
overdose of it in recent months.
Daring 1960 we had old Khrush
chev to annoy us—and we still
have him, but we have not Khrus-
chev still; he is never still. In
cidentally ours is a wonderful
language. Consider the use of the
word “still." We still have old
Khrushchev but we haven’t him
atill, and he will never be still
until he breathes his last breath.
mit no advantage to men who dis
honor it.
Efforts are being made to put
an end to the secrecy which has
grown up in big government. Con
gress has a powerful weapon in
the Government Accounting Of
fice. This agency is not part of
the executive branch, but is an
arm of Congress, s£t up for the
specific purpose of auditing pub
lic funds, to see if all the money
was spent as Congress said. This
That word still is quite a study agency has an almost impossible
of adjectives and adverbs, but I task, but it is making great head-
may let the teachers of English W ay. It has to deal with simple
dishonesty in government, with
honest confusion, and with secrecy
where there is no good reason for
secrecy.
Recently the General Account
ing office has been trying to turn
the light on the very dark spaces
behind the pretty fences hiding
foreign aid. When they went into
one foreign country, to ask proper
questions of public officials about
public money, they were told by
representatives of the State De
partment that they could not use
American Government property
old for their inquiries. Of course Am-
and erican public agencies could not
use the property of a foreign coun
try for official inquiries, so there
they were. They finally won that
contest and the prohibition was
withdrawn, but you can guess how
much time was wasted and how
much good investigation was left
behind by those blocking tactics.
Fortunately, there are in Con
gress several committees working
on this crucial problem. The House
Committee on Governmental Op
erations is watching closely what
the General Accounting Office is
finding out, and not finding out—
because someone is resisting them.
This means the General Account
ing Office is no longer behind the
eight ball, in a bureaucratic maze,
ft is again what it was meant to
be, and arm of the Congress,
bringing the public business into
the light.
Another Committee of Congress
is working directly on secrecy in
government, by investigating the

I’m reminded of the subtle use

A Frenchman once remarked
that our language is not only
illogical, but confusing. He said

Going back to the calm of the
days when we had only

“The American colonists hnew 11T , c tavt fnv tkn
t from bitter experience how ne-
cesary it was to end secrecy in
government. They knew that the
best place to establish account
ability is when the people, through
government the money it ^works
with. That is what the colonists
meant when they told the Royal
Governors, “No taxation without
representation.’
American officials gladly ad
hered to that .doctrine for over
1B0 years. But our control of pub
lic money and public records has
been lost. As government grew
trigger it became even harder to
make clear what the government

flation, it became more difficult to
be accurate about what money
meant. Most officials were trying
very hard to adhere to our Ameri
can principles, but the few "^bo
truly loved power saw that here
was a shadowy place in which
they could operate unobserved

poses the public never knew.
It is the duty of free people to
dose the door to any misuse of
public money, including the use
of pretty, blurred, words and
meaningless figures, which let a
few irresponsible men follow their
own unhindered way. We owe it
to the millions of honest and de
voted government servants to give
every advantage to men who obey
die Constitutional code, arfd per-
eheck their upstart demand for the
same liberties as Englishmen.
Our Founding Fathers based
the Constitution on full and pub
lic accountability for all public of
ficials. They stated our national
policies in the finest state papers
with the clearest language ever
used by any nation. The seciecy
of big government has grown at
a monstrous rate in our country in
the last 25 years, but that means
it is not deeply rooted. It has not
had time to send strong roots
down, for below the surface, where
we cannot tear them out. We can
not waste time. If we love our
Constitution we must abide by the
whole compact. We must rest all
our public actions on full and hon
est information. We can be sure
that, in this effort, we shall have
the cooperation of the vast ma
jority of men and women in public
office.” •

In a governmental system
such as that of the United
States where the will of the
people is supposed to prevail,
it is perhaps an enigma that
many things are done which
are at cross purposes with the
current feelings.
On Jeverafr occasions, in a
nationwide
poll of the
nation’s inde
pendent busi
ness and pro-
f e s sional
people, the
National Fed-
eration of
Independent
Business has
found opin
ions varying C. W. Harder
widely with present national
policies.
* a *
In addition, many Congress
men have also been polling
their constituents on their opin
ions on a wide variety of ques
tions: • The results of many of
these have been previously re
ported in this column.
* « *
The latest one is the results
of a poll taken off his con
stituents by Congressman Tom
Johnson of Maryland. He re
ports that the returns in vol
ume he received were in his
opinion an adequate cross sec
tion of his district.
* * .->
When he asked the question
“Do you favor legislation to
protect American job oppor-
tunitiCis by increased tariff or
quota restrictions?” the ma
jority . of th^se possessing an
opinion on this question voted
in the affirmative.
♦ * *
On several occasions the na
tion’s businessmen, pr”ed by
the National Federation of In-
© National Federation of Indeptnd-nt Buslnem
dependent Business, have tak
en same stand on grounds that
scuttling of 17. S. protective
tariffs in past few years have
wreaked havoc with American
business and labor.
* * *
On the question as to whether
the foreign give away pro
grams should be reduced, 60%
voted in favor of such a move,
only 25% voted in the negative,
with 12% expressing no opinion.
* e •
Here again is a question on
which on several occasions the
National Federation of Inde
pendent Business has found na
tion’s independent business and
professional people heavily fa
vor redaction or elimination.
' * ♦ *
On the question of whether
legislation should be enacted to
definitely set up a system to
reduce the national debt, 68%
of Rep. Johnson’s constituents
voted in favor of such a move.
* * •
This same sentiment has also
been expressed by the nation’a
independent business and pro- I
fessional people voting through
the National Federation of In
dependent Business.
* ♦ *
The poll by Rep. Johnson is
just one of many taken by Con
gressmen all over the nation in
the past few months.
* * *
While the polls of the Ra
tional Feaeration of Indepen
dent Business are confined, to
independent business and pro
fessional people, while the Con
gressmen’s polls cover a much
wider scope, if Is interesting to
note in all these results how,
closeiy the sentiments of the
people as a whole coincide with
the independent business peo
ple. There seems little donbt a
direct 'referendum on issues
would change many things. t

From the Sooth
view. South Pasadena, Calif.:
Featherbcid uig on the railroads
is said to cost some 500 million a
year. This as not only money from
the railroads but from each and
every customer across the nation.
An example of how feather
bedding runs up the cost is that
a train pulling out at Los Angeles
has to change the crew every one
to two hundred miles. This was
about the distance that a train
could make back in 1900, so the
unions want that as a day’s work.
Take the aviation industry; the
airlines, altho a few years ago
they also had to refuel every
hundred miles or so, now they
expect the same crew to take the
whole flight to New York or
Europe. Not that the one crew on
a railroad should take it all the
way, but they should have a 7 or
3 hour day. At the present time
it takes about 20 crews to take a
train across the country and
even if this could be cut down
10% it would be a great help to
every consumer
When a train pulls out, on the
front end of a diesel they have
an engineer, a fireman, and a
<ront end brakeman and some
times a front end conductor. It

They expect the Dining car
crew to go all the way, steward,
cooks, waiters, as do the pafthnan
porters, but the engineers, fire
men, brakemen, conductors, all
are only capable at making a
run of 100 miles.
The truck competition has put

can sleep while the other drives
to keep the truck moving across
the highway, without having to
stop while the crew rests. The
barge lines operate as a ship at
sea and the barges are pushed
continuously up and down the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers. They
did this in the main to give serv
ice so that they could take the ^
freight away from the railroads,
by scheduled delivery. And in the

College Park, Georgia
College Park, Georgia has all the advantages of a large city, while
it preserves the neighborliness of a hdme town. This is typified in the
slogan: “A City of Business and Friendly People.” College Park en
compasses an area of 7.8 square miles, with approximately 23.00C
persons in the city limits, is just six miles southwest of Atlanta, the
State Capital.
A large part of the land on
which College .Park now stands
was granted in 1846 to Alexander
Ratteree, whose descendants are
now prominent in the life of the
city. According to the best records
available, the next settler who
built a home here did not arrive
until 1881,. When the first store was
erected. In 1890 a railroad spur
reached the section and a town
was /established and given the
name “Atlantic City,” which was
later changed to Manchester. In
1894 a college for yoymg women
was founded and this led the
leading citizens to seek a name
more fitting *a college town. The
result. College Park
Some years later the college
closed. Where its ornate buildings
once stood there ; is today a
modern civic center. Bui, the
college ‘atmosphere” remains,
perpetuaiod in such street names
as Rugby, Mercer, Cambridge,
Yale, Harvard and Oxford.
College Park has no college, but
it boasts nine elementary schools
and two high schools, and is the
home of Georgia Military College,
a private . educational institution
with an enrollment of 900, from
many States in the Union and
and several foreign countries.
Closely affiliated with College
Park, adjoining the city limits ie
the Atlanta Municipal Air -tort,
one of the busiest in the world. II
ranks eighth in passenger traffic,
third in transport departures with
some 532 schedules daily.
When Daughters Grow Up
Sun Satellites may come and
moon rockets may go, .but teen
agers and their problems go on
forever.
Yes, these problems are old.
But the grown-up’s serious ef
forts to solve them are com
paratively new- and it is good
to know that 'there sire even
some corporations donating,
their' know-how in specific
fields to help smooth some of
the rough spots in young peo
ple’s otherwise glorious lives.
The director of education of
one of these companies—Patri
cia Gail Morrison of Personal
Products Corporation—has been
working for a number of years
with teen and pre-teen programs
and projects. A good many of
her ideas have gone into two
excellent full-color booklets:
One called “Growing Up and
Liking It’’ for girls from 9-14 ;
and another, “How Shall I Tell
My Daughter?” for mothers of
young girls. Both booklets have
been prepared under the guid
ance of medical and educational
experts.
“Growing Up and Lilting It”
explains in a most skillful,
wholesome manner, many of the
biological and emotional
changes which take place dur
ing the teens. In addition, it
gives helpful pointers on good
looks end good groom ..ig. The
whole approach is aimed at
building a poised., natural atti
tude toward the exiting busi
ness of yrowinn '"i-
As its title suggests, “Low
Shall I Tell My Daughter?”
helps clarify the often baffling,
sometimes downright embar
rassing, situation faced * by
every mother as she begins to
realize that her baby girl is a
baby no longer. Many mothers
take an I’ll-think-about-that-
tomorrow approach — and it’s
easy to sympathize with them.
But this mother-daughter book
let is of real, practical use in
guiding girls through the diffi
cult years of pre-adolescence
and adolescence with knowl
edge, understanding and no erry
bari^asment.
