Come, Come, It's Only Politics Len Hall, chairman of the Republican National Com mittee, is getting awfully worked up about campaign statements of Adlai Stevenson and Averell Harriman that they favor farm price supports of 90 per cent of parity. But then, it’s Hall’s business to get worked up about cam paign statements, just as it’s Stevenson’s and Harriman’s business to make them. All three of the gentlement have gone overboard. Ste venson and Harriman are open-minded enough to know that 90 per cent rigid supports aren’t the solution to the farm problem. Stevenson even said so a few weeks ear lier. And Hall knows equally well that all is not sweet ness and light on the farm front. Farm prices have dropped four per cent in the past year not by any means a dis aster, but bad enough with lan election coming up. Were it not for the election, • the Republicans could carry through with their farm propram. Their plan is sound. By reducing supports from a rigid 90 per cent to range of from 90 to 75, Agriculture Secretary Benson hopes to cut down the surpluses, bring supply in line with demand. This in turn will keep prices up without gov ernment interference. Benson’s program is one any good farmer can under stand. All Benson is doing is pruning the agricultural tree so that the product that remains is stronger and health ier, The pruned branches, which are the one just barely subsisting and net producing, may not like being pruned, but it has to be done. - Benson is not condemning any farmers to death by starvation. Even those who produce the least needed ba sic crops are guaranteed 75 per cent of parity. All Ben son has done is to make known that we have too much tied up in crops we don’t want and can’t use. As in the case of any other product which is a glut on the market, the price has to come down. When the political bug bites a man, it does strange things to his thinking processes. It bit Stevenson, Harri man and Hall long ago. For their excessive zeal, they will have to be excused.

Hughe*. Hfc pal* who helped make the Dixon-Yates contract to supply electric power for Memphis in the Tennessee Valley Authority area are walking out on him one by one. And they’re leaving him holding the bag of responsibility in this biggest .political 'possum hunt of the year. 1 Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a tentative order, [effective Nov. 1, canceling previous SEC approval for the sate of stock by Mississippi Valley Generating Co., holder of the Dixon- I ’Yates contract. .The government is now seeking to cancel this contract. The costs have been estimated at three to five million dollars. Whoever is r sponsible won’t be popular. Atomic Energy Commission was directed by the Budget Bureau .to make the contract in the first place. AEC has therefore been jeanying on the negotiations to cancel and aettle. ’ BUT AEC CHAIRMAN LEWIS STRAUSS has now revealed that [he has-suspended his cancellation talks with Dixon-Yates. The reason for this was not at first apparent. Then it came out that the Office of Comptroller General James Campbell had advised 1 a go-slow policy. This was to protect the government’s rights in j case the courts should later find the contract invalid. There are many precedents for such action. Campbell had originally approved the cdntract when a member of AEC before he became comptroller general. His recent action gave the appearance of desertion by another Hughes colleague, j Previously, Campbell had ruled the government must pay cancel lation costs unless there was proof of wrongdoing. TVS COMPTROLLER GENERAL’S latest advice can in turn be /traced to the investigation by a Senate Antitrust Subcommittee xheaded by Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn). He got from former budget Director Joseph M. Dodge the first evidence of “conflict of dnterest” in making the Dixon-Yates contract. This came about through the activities of Adolphe H. Wenzell, .the governments adviser on power policy and the Dixon-Yates j M’ntract, who was also a former vice president of First Boston Corp., Rhe Dixon-Yates financial agent. I Kefauver turned his evidence over to both the Comptroller Gen eral and Department of Justice. No finding has yet come from ' Department of Justice. A judgment of cordliet of interest would I jmake the contract invalid. | On return from his trip around the world.

Mr Molotov—Now Down to Business” V- - H + Molly Mayfield + Absence Made This Heart Grow Fonder DEAR MR§. MAYFIELD: lam very much in love with my husband. I have felt this way oms recently. When I married him I had a good job and was support ing myself and my mother. I worked terribly hard. Then he came along and said he would take over the subport of my mother and would give me a liberal checking account. He was as good as his word. The my mother died. And then some of his in vestments went bad. And there we were with only a small salary to live on. One morning I woke up and he was gone. He left a note saying that he -know one could live more cheaply than two and that he had located a job that paid for his board and keep and would send me everything there was over. He said not to try and find him, that he would send me the money through our bank. He has. He said he knew I had never really loved him and that now that he was without funds he didn't see why I should have to live with him. That blessed man! I realize now (and it may be too late* that he is very dear to me Indeed, and that I would more than gladly take my old job back and we could both work and make a go otf things to gether. Should I try to find film? Do you think maybe he just doesn’t want to be with me any more, or what? I realize the situation is an odd one and I don’t know what to do. BETTY DEAR BETTY: Stop hemming and hawing a round about this thing. J£ you iove him. find him. It shouldn’t be tdo difficult. It’s possible tbs bank will help you While they may not dti 1 close his address, they may at Annie and Fannie l&i ■ 'Don’t you sometimes wish that when you get these things nicely stacked on the shelves people Y would leave them alone?” THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N.C. leas', forward a letter from you. .The important thing is fdr hin to know that you love him and with no mercerary motives. Believe me, I’d stop at nothing to find him. I'd get a private in vestigator, if necessary. It may be that through this hard luck you can really build something worth while. At any rate, you surely aren’t going to sit by and let some one J’ou love fade out of your life except for a monthly check, are you? Come now, show some character and spunk. M. M. One at a Time Would Be Easier DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD: I am a young mother who has been divorced for some time. I have a daughter owt and a half. .Since my first marriage turned out so badly, I am a little leary of a second try. However, I’ve been going with a very nice fellow and he gave me a ring a few weeks ago and has asked me to meet his parents. He wants me to leave my baby bfc hind for the first few times we meet his parents, however I can’t understand this. It seems a strange attitude for him to take. I have told him "no”. In insist on my baby going along. There have been many heartbreaks over this AFRAID TO LOVE DEAR AFRAID TO’LOVE: In my estimation you’re being very silly. You’re taking the at titude that this young man Is af fronting you or your daughter, or both, by not wanting the child a long when he introduces you to his parents. His attitude is per fectly rational. It’s always a lithe trying when the parents and the girl friend meet and the presence of a child certainly Isn’t going to make the meeting go more smooth ly It isn’t as though he is trying to hide the fact you have a daugh ter. Come, now, and snay out of this chip-on-shouder attitude. You’- re going to have a hard life if you don’t learn to accept your parenthood a little less rigidly. M. M. To Pay or Not to Pay Is the Question DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD: Sometime ago I was In a group of six young people, two married couples, a young man, and myself I didn’t have a date with him. I just happened to be in the group. We decided to go t* an amuse ment park. .Naturally the couples paired off so. Os course, that left the young man and me together. Now here is my question: Should I have paid my way or not? I didn’t see why he should have to. and yet I didn’t know whether I should or hot. As It happened I paid for every thing except once when he in sisted. I was embarrassed and I think he was, too. At least he hasn't been very friendly since. I had known him for quite some time and he had never asked me for a date so I didn't- see why he should have me thrust on him as a financial burden. Please tell me if I was wrong in paying my way. ANXIOUS TO KNOW DEAR ANXIOUS TO KNOW: I certainly do not think you were wrong. Under the circum stances I definitely think you should have offered to pay. How ever, I dp think it would have been a little nicer if the young man had refused to let you Granted, though, there may hav> been reasons why he didn't. Ho may have been somewhat on the broke side that night and simply couldn't manage. I’ve asked several men how they felt about this, and almost with out exception they have said that they would have appreciated a woman at least offering to go her own. They’ve also added, ‘But, of course we wouldn’t let her.” M. M. Birthday Greetings Wanted DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD: I wonder if some of your kmd readers would send birthday greet ings to my mother who. will be 80 years old October 19. She suf fered a severe stroke over a year and a half ago and is completely bedfast. She. gets very lonely, and I know it would cheer her to re ceive cards and notes of encourage ment.. .

And'he can deliv er an excellent funeral sermon, which is a good test of a clergy man’s forensic skill. A funeral address should not be a mere re cital of Bibliran quotations, but should also demonstrate Mark Anthony's good psychology. By Dr. George W. Crane Case P-378: Rev. Dwight Busac ca, aged 29, is pastor of the Me morial E. U. B. church ia Mal waukee. Wisconsin. Mrs. Crane and I were there to attend the funeral of Dan Stair who had been a neighbor of mine at Fort Wayne, Indiana. 40 years ago. We sat through the funeral ser vice in the church sanctuary. "That’s the most beautiful fu neral service I have ever heard.’’ Mrs. Crane whispered to me, at its conclusion. Rev. Busacca brieflly mentioned Mr. Stair and his positive person ality. He told us about his inven tive genius and many patents. Then he cited his constructive work in the community, and fi nally shifted over to the usual reference from St. John wherein Jesus said: “In my father’s house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you.” It was a very dignified and per sonalized sermon, that inspired ev erybody in the congregation. And it fulfilled the formula for an ideal funeral sermon, -which demands: (1) Personal mention of the de ceased in a laudable manner so that the audience can be inspired by his good deeds cr community efforts: (2i Assurance to the family of the eternal life with the furthet reenforcement of their faith by use cf Christ's Dositive promise in St John 14:1-3: (3» A 10-minute inspirational message for everybody, to exalt the soul and lift people momentarily from this mundane world into a brief glimpse of eternal verities. FUNERAL OPPORTUNITY A funeral should be a clergy man’s greatest evangelistic oppor tunity for at that time many old reprobates and others who have drifted far from their ethical child hood marriage, are back in the familiar church pews. They are then medi’ative and open - minded. They constitute what we psychologists call a “po larized’ audience, for they are al ready wondering about our pur pose on this earth and whither we journey at such a graduation from it. A clergyman thus has a very unique audience. He gets undivid ed attention from people who may never be in a church again. So he should uplift them by a 15 - minute dignified sermon, and take them up to the top of the mountain, as Moses went of old so they pan obtain a momentary glimpse Into heaven. BE SPECIFIC A good funeral sermon should al so contain specific references to the departed so the congregation will know whether it is a man. woman or child. Some services are so vague, the listeners don’t even know who is in the casket! Mark Anthony showed that a fu neral sermon should list some of the specific good deeds of the de parted. His unselfishness and kind liness should be stressed, for those positive virtues are a solace to the family and an inspiration to the living friends. Relevant quotations from Psalms and the Gospels, as John 14:1^3,/ are an ideal Inclusion, but doirt recite scripture exclusively for the entire service. For a recital is never an oration! Every sermon should oe an ora tion of a special, evangelistic sort to inspire and uplift men. Rev. Busacca’s father and the latter's boyhood friend, came over to America from Italy, where they were boys studying for the priest hood. Somehow they got switched to the Evangelistlcal United Breth ren denomination. So Rev. Busacca’s father now occupies a pulpit In Wisconsin and this talented 29-year-old son is fol lowing in his father’s footsteps. And he is a great credit to the pulpit. , ‘ (Always write to Dr. Crane it) care of this newspaper, enclosing a long 3-cant stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typ ing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)

I got Hopalong Cassidy to ad mit that he.

Hoppy hops around doing chari ty shows or meeting sponsors. He’s surrended all but 8 1/2% of h's gross income to his "associates” - - he doesn’t call them employees. “We still Hve in a 4-room house and Grace still does the house work and we still do the dishes,” Hoppy added. “You mean 4 bedrooms?’’ I said. “Four ROOMS!” he asserted. “What more do w’e need? Were only two people!" He is building a new house a*. Palm Desert, near Palm Springs. Cal. floppy’s films are • already shown all over South America, soon they’ll be seen in Japan and Aus tralia. Last year Hoppy and Grace toured the world and. says Hoppv, “For the first time I had time to analyze things, where I was goiag and what I was going to do. “The sum of it was to keep o.i what we’re doing. I haven't made a paid appearance since ’sl. “You feel you should give back something.” Here in New York Hoppy’s seen an hour a day on ABC and a half hour a day on NBC.
