Nnrtrva Ri noMrinnias WE DON'T BELIEVE IT We know the South suffers much from all sorts of ills, but it should not have to endure slurs from the great Associated Press, one of the most extensive news gathering organizations in the World. James Bacon, a representative of that agency, falls into the ways of a cheap penny a line scribbler when he puts words in the mouth of "Miss Universe, or Miss Miriam Stevenson, of Winsboro, S. C. which we posi tively do not believe she said. In a byline dispatch from Long Beach, California, Bacon quoted Miss Stevenson as follows: "'If you-all evah come down to South Carolina, I'll cook you the biggest heapin' plate of corn pone, homi ny grits and ham hocks you evah saw!" We don't believe Miss Stevenson said that? In the first place, we are confident that Miss Stevenson never used "you all" to mean one person. In the second place she is a college graduate, and, as we recall reports, majored in home economics. In the third place, corn pone, hominy grits, and ham hocks aren't all cooked up and served together on a "heaping plate," and in the fourth place grits stand on their own in the South and are never referred to as hominy-grits. We don't believe the yanks will ever learn to under stand us. We don't believe Mr. Bacon of the Associated Press, ever saw grits or hominy, and we are confident that he never ate any hominy-grits made into a corn pone. But we do believe Mr. Bacon was trying to be smart without knowing how to do it, and made a mess of it. FOR THE OTHER FELLOW The Federal government still roasts coffee, repairs furniture, makes ice cream and presses pants. It is an insurer, a banker, and a builder. It saws wood, retreads tires, makes rope and grows flowers. And these aren't all of its business, the total costs of which runs into billions of dollars every year. The practice of government doing things which might be better done at less cost by private industry is so widespread that nobody seems to know just what is the actual count of such plants, industries,' shops, fac tories, offices and counting houses. The directive the White House is drafting to make such an inventory is only a start to come to grips with the problem. Legislation before the House Government Operations Sub-committee to authorize the Presidnt to liquidate commercial-type operations isn t all ol tne answer, either. It was a good idea, for instance, to get rid of the R. F. C, but the Congress thereupon substituted the Small Business Administration. It was all right to reduce making paint, but when there was talk of closing down the naval ropewalk at Boston some of the Congression al delegation from there protested as though it was proposed to outlaw the bean and the cod. It was all right to say the government would get out of the power business, but the protests of the public power people were loud in the land when the Interior Department suggested plans about how to go about do ing it It was a fine idea to get the government out of rub ber manufacturing and tin smelters until somebody got the idea to close the smelter at Texas City. The holler fmm thP Texas delegation had its effect; both House and Senate have passed a bill requiring the government to continue to operate that facility for another year while a commission studies its sale. It would probably be inaccurate to say that the minority leaders of the Senate and House, both from Texas, were disinterest ed in this particular bit of special treatment. Hie big problem any Administration faces when it 'wants to change a system is the self-interest of many of its own supporters in their own communities. The interest is quite natural, and is a part of the political system. Nonetheless the .answer to the problem will al ways come slowly as long is people say that thus and so is a wonderful idea for the other fellow.

Tomlinson The Omnibus Housing BUI The Omnibus Housing BUI, passed by the last Congress, fell short of what President Eisenhower asked for in low-rent public housing units subsidized by the government Its principal provisions are as follows Lower down payments required for the purchase of new and old homes and lengthens the repayment period. The new formula permits an F. H. A. loan on a new house of 99 percent of the appraised value up to $9,000 and 75 percent of the remainder up to an maximum of $20,000. For old houses, the formula would be the same except the lim it would be 90 percent of the first $9,000. Allows builders of big rental pro jects who use government-insured loans to include only a "reasonable" profit as part of their legitimate costs. Those costs would have to be certified to the government after a project was completed. This pro vision is supposed to kill "wind fall" profits.

New Home Prices Prices for new homes in the United States are in general the same as a year ago, according to a study made by a national orga nization of savings and Ion ssocia tions. The market for used homes is "somewhat weaker" than a year ago. the report said. Although prices for new homes have been relatively stable, costly homes have been slightly lower and prices for low and medium-priced houses are silghtly nigher, the study showed. The volume of house sales so farr this year is somewhat lower than during the correspond ing period last year, it was stated, particularly in the higher-priced field. Anti-Communist Law According to news dispatches from Guatemala last week the new government headed by Lt. Col. Car los Armas has enacted a law out lawing Communism in all its forms in Guatemala. Persons engaged in Communist activities were made subject to pen alties ranging from a year in pri son to death under the terms of the law.
