1 - -1 Final Days i 'Ey July 12, there had been'18, y.S measures introduced in the 84th Congress. . Obviously, all of them ( in never see the day of legislative r Mon.

It U true, of. course, that many desir file bills, vanquish'. in committee- or fiil tt get consideration in the final . hectic days. The legislative log-jam is now at its1- worst. Advocates of legisla tion are pressing for action. The Administration is concerned with its program in the Congress., Con gress, therefore, will be looking for legislative compromises to produce the break in the legislative pile-up. - When it comes, the speed with which bills will be enacted will be fpmething to witness with amaze ment, barring a deadlock on highly ontroversial matters. v., : ' Tar Heets 'Everywhere .: " ' ' I made !a iquick trip by plajae to Houston!

Just like, the dog, we would like to keep the flea's of disagree ment to a minimum. PER CENT IS 111 UJS. get sine? 1951, the U. S. public ?.ebt 'f now ,bein& Pared f the first time in five years.

Th British public debt itl, terms of doh larg is at present somewhat over double the pre-World War II "fig tire1, but " in terms? of sterling the growth has been nearly.'fourfold In the period, from 7 billipn pounds in 1939 to 27& billion pounds .cur rently. The devaluatiyi pf sterling several years ago is the factor in these differing proportions, and is also manifest in the fact that the current public, debt of the United Kingdom, expressed; in dollars, is only 17 per cent of the free world aggregate, as compared with 26 per cent in 1939. ' f Variations as great, or greater, between debt in internal and dol lar terms are found in many other countries due to currency devalua tion, such as France, 'Italy, Hol land, Norway, Sweden, Argentina and Chile. :'In francs, for example, the French public debits now some 13 times bigger than it was before World War. Ilbut in dollars ij; is only a third 'larger because of the deep cut in the franc '. In all, approximately "$380 bil lions, or 84 per cent, of the free world public debt total is in the Anglo-Saxon' countries. The com parable figures 'just before World War II were $89 , billions, or 70 "per cent. The. English-speaking countries bore the brunt of the financial costs of World War IL '. : Factor of Debt Ownership ' At the end of the Thirties, some $63 billions of the free world public debt, or over half the total,- was in Europe and $50 billions in North America. Today the positions are H a Cx:;r!;r Pcir.iing ' f . ! T.t;It 01 ri :..!,:: .I.ttsr and (,tl: -rr.znc; 1 t IAN3 just the reverse, with $294 billions of the free world .public debt- total in North America an dabout $128 billions in Europe. Africa, with only $3 billions of indebtedness, has by far the smallest public debt of any of the continents, but this is primarily due to the eco nomic backwardness and political status of most of the area. Because of the size of present debts and their economic impact, the widest possible debt ownership distribution is a worldwide' objec tive. Underdeveloped countries are handicapped in this respect by low income levels and savings, and their debt generally winds ' up in the banking system and inflates the money supply.' By contrast, more than half the American pub lic debt is held by the nonbanking public,' "and favorable ratios are found in other developed countries.

Hodges, backed by Federal Court of Ap peals' rulings, maintained that the decision merely meant that a state may not deny to any person on ac count of race the right to attend any school that it operates. In short, integration of the races in public schools is not required. , Sweet Corn Time Again At Hand Sweet corn is. available almost the year round, usually in several different forms.

' ... , tension consumer marketing spe- cialist at State College, in choosing fresh corn it is best to look for a cob well filled with bright, plump, milky kernels that are just f'rm enough to offer slight resistance to pressure. If the husks are on the corn, they should be fresh and green with a bright appearance and snur fit ting on the ear. Dry, yellow or straw-colored husks are an indica tion of age or damage, resulting in the toughening, discoloration, loss of flavor and shriveling of kernels. : Grains from which the milk flows when you press them with your thumb are tender, says Ab shier.
