Thoughts On
By BERNARD BRENNER
WASHINGTON (UPI) Pressure
is building up on the administra
tion to ease next year's drop in
wheat prices despite President
Kennedy's attitude that the farm
ers asked for it when they voted
down his price support program
in a referendum.
Among those urging second
thoughts are a number of farm
slate Democrats, including Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., as
sistant Senate majority leader.
Humphrey is drafting a new
wheat bill and predicted in an
interview before leaving for Mos
cow to witness signing of the nu

NASA File Cabinets Hold Proof
American Kids Are Imaginative
CAPE CANAVERAL' (UPI)-If
from the mouths of babes there al
ways came words of wisdom, Cape
Canaveral would be a land of giant
fans, ski-ramp launching pads and
' Saturday-only ' astronauts.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) has
a file cabinet full of proof that
the minds of America's children,
uncluttered by physical laws and
fiscal budgets, display a genius for
the imaginative.
Youngsters have carried into the
space age their penchent for help
ing their ciders spend money. Un
inhibited by worries about income
tax 1040 and the like, they bom
barded NASA with scores of letters
monthly suggesting ways to im
prove and often speed up the use
of that $35 million America has
committed to conquering the moon.

Death Of Marilyn
Remains An Enigma
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) An un
wanted child who became one of
the world's most wanted women
was found dead one year ago in
her exclusive Brentwood home.
And today the death of Marilyn
Monroe remains in enigma.
Born out of wedlock, she gained
fame and fortune as the sex sym
bol of America. But she never
found the peace of mind she so
avidly sought. And al the age of
.mi, America s sex goddess was
dead of an overdose of barbitu
rates. Her body was found by her
psychiatrist who had to smash a
window to get into her locked
bedroom. He found her nude body
sprawled across her bed her
hand grasping a telcphone.
An empty medicine bottle that
had contained as many as 50
Nembutal capsules three days
earlier was found on a bedside
table.
The coroner's report said Miss
Monroe had attempted suicide in
the past, but had called for help.
The report continued: "It is our
opinion that the same pattern was
repeated except for the rescue."
More than 3110 persons lined the
walls of the small cemetery the
day her body was entombed in a
mausoleum.
Admirers and other close
friends still stop to place flowers
on her crypt. And Joe DiMaggio.
former New York Yankee slugger
who was her husband for nine
months in 1934, still has a small
spray of roses placed on the
crypt three times a week.
But cemetery officials said they
expected no problems and very
few visitors at the tomb today.

Solons Urge
Wheat Legislation
some rethinking on this question
in the administration within a
month."
A number of legislators of both
parties have introduced various
bills aimed at softening the price
decline despite the expressed be
lief of administration farm
spokesmen that Congress will not
act.
Opposed Administration Plan
Wheat growers voted May 21
against the administration plan
for mandatory production con
trols with high price supports for
the 1964 crop. This means that,
with no new program, wheat
price supports will drop from $2
a bushel this year to $1.25 next
as the one from Harry B. OF Pres
cotl, Ariz.
"To help get your missiles off,
why don't you build an overgrown
ski ramp with a half-mile slant
at the right end?"
If Harry's suggestion is ignored
and U.S. scientists continue to fire
rockets in the old - fashioned
straight-up manner, some atten
tion might be given to the matter
of all that black smoke that cov
ers the pad at blast-off, says Lu
ther W. of Charleston, S.C.:
"Why don't you put giant fans
to one side of the launching pad?
Then when you shoot your mis
siles off, the smoke would be
blown away so you could sec what
is going on."
There is a suspicion, Luther, that
sometimes they would just as soon
not sec what is going on. Cape
Canaveral has its bad days.
Navy Studied Pigeons
Grownups might be inclined to
snicker at these youthful ideas.
But the U.S. Navy once spent
three years trying to figure out
how to use corn-eating pigeons to
steer guided missiles. The Navy
learned a lot about pigeons, includ
ing their inability to guide rockets.
A fair numher of NASA's youth
ful fans volunteer not only ideas
but themselves for flights into
space although, occasionally,
there is a catch, as in the case
of Tommy W. it Chicago:
"I am interested in space and
would like to become an astro
naut, but it will have to bo on a
Saturday, as I have to go to school
during the week."
Two-Car Crash
Reported Sunday
Hoscbiirg city police Sunday in
vestigated a two - car accident
which occurred at the intersection
of SE Sykcs Ave. and SE Pine st.
City police said the accident oc
curred about 5:45 p.m. when a car
driven by Norman Lee Parr, Suth
crlin, failed to stop at a stop sign
and was struck in the side by a
vehicle driven by Terry John
Reed, of Winston. There were no
injuries.
Vandals Active
In Sutherlin
A recent rash of window break
age at the high school shop build
ing and other buildings in Sutherlin
School District is proving to be
costly to tax payers. Over 50 win
dows have been broken during the
past three weeks, Supt. Bay Mul
len reports.
Bock throwing vandals have
been responsible for most of the
breakage. Sharpshooters with a BB
gun have also been active.
Maintenance personnel have been
busy replacing broken window
panes one day, only to have them
broken out again. Police have ques
tioned several youngsters in the
area. If responsibility can be es
tablished, some family could have
a sizable window bill to pay, Mul
len said.
Anyone who has information that
might assist in stopping the van
dalism should call the Sutherlin
police or the district school office.
Damages to dale have been esti
mated at over $200.

year. Even the reduced support
price will be available only to
growers who- voluntarily comply
with planting restrictions.
A number of Republicans, head
ed by ' Beps. Albert H. Quie,
Minn., Robert Dole, Kan. and
Don L. Short, N.D., have pro
posed a program modeled on the
existing plan which offers
acreage-diversion payments and
price supports to farmers who
cut feed grain plantings.
Sens. Spessard L. Holland, D
Fla.; George D. Aiken, R-Vt., and
others have sponsored the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation's
plan to abolish all wheat-feed
grain controls, set supports at
comparatively low levels and set
up a voluntary program' of pay
ments for non-use of acreage.
Proposes Voluntary Program
Sen. George D. McGovern, D
S.D., recently proposed convert
ing the acreage-limitation plan
rejected last May 21 to a volun
tary program with no cash mar
keting penalties for farmers who
choose to ignore it.
.Humphrey's bill would be
based in general on the existing
program and would offer price
supports above the currently
scheduled 1964 level to farmers
who voluntarily convert wheat
acreage to other uses.
The Minnesota Democrat be
lieves legislation to head off the
drop in prices is urgently needed
before the 1964 crop of winter
wheat is planted this fall. He said
a sharp drop in wheat income
could damage the farm credit
structure and Democratic elec
tion prospects in farm states.
"We cannot content ourselves
with doing nothing," he said.
"The government has a responsi
bility because the prices of farm
products are directly related to
the general prosperity of the na
tion." Air Defense Unit

Income Figures Don't Justify
Mass Poverty Has Vanished
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Labor
Department announced last
week that U.S. employment
rose in July to a record total
of nearly 71 million jobs. But
it out of every 1,000 persons
who need jobs don't have them.
And many who do have jobs
barely earn enough to keep

Poverty First of Two Dispatches
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI)-The av
erage American family had an
income of $7,140 last year. One
family out of five had an income
larger than $10,000.
These are spectacular figures.
They thoroughly justify the cliche
that Americans are living in an
"affluent society," enjoying the
highest living standards the world
has ever known.
But they do not justify the as
sumptionwidely held today even
among well-read people that
mass poverty has virtually disap
peared from this country.
In the midst of olentv. millions
1 of Americans remain desperately
poor, they may not ue as close
to actual starvation as some of
the people who live in under
developed countries. But their
poverty is real and grinding, and
all the harder to accept because
it contrasts so painfully with the
prosperity that surrounds them.
How many poor people are
there in America? The answer
depends on what income level
you choose as a dividing line be
tween mere deprivation and ac
tual poverty.
Dr. Robert J. Lampham, a Uni
versity of Wisconsin economist

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rail

Wirtz called the meeting to dis

A union spokesman said the ses

The spokesman said the sug

of a fireman aboard dicscl loco

basis for renewed attempts to

issues. Other sources cautioned.
however, against hope for a
quick settlement of the dispute.
An industry spokesman agreed
with this appraisal.
The railroads have taken the
position that only legislation can
solve the dispute. President Ken
nedy has proposed to Congress
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission be made the arbiter
but in testimony before the Sen
ate Commerce Committee, which
concluded hearings last week, la
bor witnesses belabored the pro
posal as compulsory arbitration
and argued that collective bargain

Little Things Mean Lots
Of Dollars For Industry
WOMAN'S VIEW
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
NEW YORK (UPI) Little
things mean a lot of dollars for
the notions industry.
The president of the National
Notion Association predicted in
February, at the industry's semi
annual trade show, that the retail
volume for "little things no one
can do without" would reach a
record $1.25 billion in 1963.
Now, said Harold Rattner, the
president, at the rate sales have
gone so far, he may have to re
vise that estimate upward. Ratt
ner spoke at the opening of the
association's August trade show
in New York today.
Sunglasses, for instance, sold at
a clip 50 per cent ahead of 1962
in the first six months of 1963,
he said. Sales on these dark specs
alone may reach $150 million this
year, he said.
Buttons Booming
"Button sales are at an all
time high," Rattner continued,
pushed upward in part by ready-to-wear's
accent on double-breasted
coat and suits, (more buttons
on them than on sigle-breasted)
and long-sleeved blouses with but
toned cuffs.
Closet accessories, spurred by
the new see-through hanging shelf
and garment bags, will exceed
the 1962 volume, he said. Sale of
hair ornaments is 50 per cent
over last year, with headbands
selling at a booming rate.
Rattner said the notions boom
apparently is part of a general
retail sales increase. He cited a
study by the national retail mer
chants association showing that
retailers expect the second half
or 1963 to run five per cent ahead
of the same period last year.
Notion sales of everything from
zippers to rain hats to curlers to
sun specs to can openers have
been climbing for the last 15
years, said Rattner. Fashion is
one reason for the climb, because
of the home sewing market.
New home construction is an
other and this affects the demand
for closet accessories, storage de
vices and other household no
tions," he said.
"Travel, (more) leisure and out
door living" also have boosted
sales.
Notions For Everything
"There are notions made for
automobiles, boats, patios, ter
races, for all members of the
family, all parts of the house . . .,"
he said.
What's new in notions? Well,
there's a "quickie" pattern, with
a minimum of pieces to make
the popular shift dress.
There are the nylon zipper,
which takes dye with Ihe fabric;
a new metal frame for a hand-

Ford, Wife End
Long Marriage
DETROIT (UPI) Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Ford II, the first
family of the auto industry and
leaders of the Detroit social whirl,
have separated after 23 years of
marriage.
Ford, 46, and his wife, the for
mer Anne McDonnell, 44, of a
prominent New York family, an
nounced their separation Saturday
through a local lawyer.
There was no mention of di
vorce or any financial settlement.
Both Ford and Mrs. Ford are
Roman Catholics. The auto mag
nate, raised a Methodist, was
converted by Bishop Fulton J.
Sheen, who also officiated at the
wedding.
Ford is the grandson of Henry
Ford, who founded the vast auto
motive empire 60 years ago.
Mrs. Ford, one of 14 children,
inherited a fortune from her
grandfather, Thomas E. Murray,
a New York utilities executive
and inventor.
They were married in a lavhh

Fieri el
Belief
In U.S.
Another major segment of the
world of poverty is populated by
Negroes. Because they often are
under-educated, or because they
lack the skills demanded by an
increasingly technological society,
or simply because they happen to
have dark skins, Negroes are
the "last to be hired and the first
to be fired" in the North as well
as the South.
Seven Million Negroes
Dr. Lampham found about 7
million Negroes among his 34
million impoverished Americans.
That's twice as many as would
be expected on a purely statisti
cal basis, since Negroes consti
tute only 10 per cent of the U.S.
population. Thus the circum
stance of being born non-white
doubles a person's chances of be
ing poor.
Aside from old age and race,
the factors which loom largest in
determining which families are
poor arc the sex and education
level of the breadwinner.
Only one American family out
of 10 is headed by a woman. But
whether made so By deatn, di
vorce or desertion constitute 24
per cent of the families living on
incomes of less than $2,000 a
year.
A woman who is trying to sup
port young children without a "
husband or other male relative to
earn a living is usually entitled
to public welfare under the ever
controversial "aid to dependent
children" (ADC) program. Some
,i,L.,ki, niinn ihst famllin.
Americans have lormeo an un-
on ADr have it pretty soft. This
may be: But the figures show
that the average ADC payment
currently is about $128 per month
for a family of four. This comes
to about $1,500 a year and is way
under Lampham s "conservative
cut off line for real poverty.
Most Poorly Educated
Any American youngster who is
thinking of dropping out of school
or who is merely wondering
why he should work so hard to
get an education should ponder
another of Dr. Lampham's find
ings. About two-thirds of the very
poor families in the nation are
headed by breadwinners who
have no education beyond gram
mar school. (This figure includes
persons of both races and both
sexes, and thus overlaps with
some of the previous categories.)
It is obvious, of course, that
none of the factors cited by Dr.
Lampham age, sex, race or ed
ucational level directly cause
poverty. What they do is to make
it hard to get and keep a good
job. he immediate cause ot pov
erty in nearly every instance is
the unemployment or undor-cm-ployment
of the family breadwin
ner. Even in a "full employment"
economy, there would be some
people who could not earn a de
cent living. The farther a nation
slips from full employment or,
lo put it differently, the higher its
rate of chronic unemployment
the bigger become its "pockets"
of poverty.
That's why Secretary of Labor
Willard Wirtz calls unemploy
ment "our No. 1 domestic prob
lem." It is a problem that has
been growing steadily worse In
recent years. lis ramifications
will be explored in another dis
patch. Adventure Trip Set
