High Finance Explained
The head of the foreign aid program appeared before
the House Foreign Affairs Committee recently to testify on
the $3.1 billion foreign aid budget proposed by the President.
A reading of the hearings makes It possible to print here, In
a few inches of type, a simplified lesson In high finance. If
you've had trouble understanding high finance In the past,
bear with us. It Is all very simple, really.
If you pay 6 percent, or some such rate of Interest on
the money you have borrowed to pay for your car, or your
house, you will appreciate the economy that foreign govern
ments realize In being able to borrow money from the Inter
national Development Association at less than 1 percent. The
actual interest rate Is 34 of 1 percent. Keep that 34' of 1
percent Interest rate In mind. It is the foundation of our quick
lesson In high finance.
Now a million dollars Is a lot of money. Some of us work
a lifetime without accumulating that much. But In high fi
nance, It's pocket-money. Vice Presidents of the United States
have been known to promise $100 million in U. S. aid money
over breakfast coffee. Technically, of course, the $100 mil
lion Is a loan. So let's use that convenient round figure as
our example.
The head of a "developing" country borrows $100 million;
the interest rate is 34 of 1 percent $750,000 a year Interest.
But Washington doesn't have the $100 million in hand.
It has to sell government bonds to raise the money. And It
pays at least 4.65 percent Interest on the bonds. Any fool
can see that there's a loss on that deal. Uncle Sam pays
$4,650,000 In interest on the $100 million, but recovers only
$750,000 when he puts It out on loan. You can go broke
doing that. Right? At the rate of $3,900,000 a year. But as
we mentioned, the foreign aid budget is $3.1 billion, not $100
million. So Uncle Sam plans to go broke faster.
You see? High finance Is simple. The banker who pays
4.65 percent Interest on money he borrows, and who loans the
same money at 34 of 1 percent, Is going to be very popular.
He'll have a waiting list of clients who want to borrow
money. But it developed in the hearings that last year banker
Uncle Sam paid out $465 million in interest on government
bonds to "foreign official institutions and international or
ganizations." What governments? That is "highly confiden
tial" information.
Is it possible, you ask, that some foreign governments
borrow money at 34' of 1 percent interest, invested in U. S.
government bonds which pay 4.65 interest, and pocketed the
difference? Could be. Nobody can find out.

Our Internal Problem
Those of us who are fortun
ate enough to live far away
from the cities that are having
racial disturbances are not well
qualified to suggest solutions,
but we are deeply concerned.
Some of us feel that the trag
ic death of Dr. King may lead
to more serious and construct
ive thinking and action by both
whites and blacks. There is con
siderable evidence that the ed
ucated negro leaders are begin
ning to move toward the eco
nomic development of the ne
gro communities as entitles in
stead of forced integration by
transportation to schools and
work.
If provision were made under
top negro leadership for negro
ownership of homes, banks,
stores and all business opera
tions in the ghettos, it would
at least establish a hard core of
satisfied citizens. That would go
far to prevent riots and present
opportunities for young people
that do not now exist. That is
the way it looks to us Who are
far away from the trouble
spots.

April 22, 1968
To the Editor:
As chairman of the Heppner
Hierh P.T.A. and also as a citizen
of the community, I wish to ex
press sincere thanks to the par
ents and the businesses of the
community that cooperated so
freely with donations of goods
and personal services which
made this year's band carnival
a real success.
Everyone should express spe
cial thanks to Mrs. Wallace
Wolff, president of Heppner Ele
mentary P.T.A.; to Arnie Hea
man. band director, and to Paul
Warren, chairman for the high
school's carnival committee, for
their organization and hard
work In putting this carnival
together.
W. W. Weatherford
Sincerely,
Mrs. Delia Murray of Union Is
spending a week visiting at the
home of her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn
Smith.
SAY, this Is going to be another
one of those Dusy ana enjuy-
able week-ends around nere
with s number of ble events in
store the fifth annual Portland
Eighth Grade tour, the Heppner
merchants' Moonlight Sale Fri
day night, the Civic Leagues
Rummaee Sale, and goodness
knows what all. The Jaycees are
going to operate Jack's service
station to boost their project
work on a generous arrange
ment with Jack VanWinkle
Saturday and Sunday, and on
Tuesday the Red Cross blood
drawing will be held in Hepp
ner with HcDDner High students
doing the work of promoting it
and taking care oi many juas
at the center.
when the students did the lob
about a year ago on the last
visit of the mobile unit, they
boosted the drawing over the
top. This was the first time that
was accomplished here for a
number of visits. Chances are
they will do the same this
time. It Is gooa 10 see ine
youngsters teach their elders a
lesson in getting tnings aone in
view of some of the bad pub
licity teen-agers and youth have
been getting arouna tne nation
AND can vou believe it? it's
time to set clocks ahead an
hour to iro on daylight time,
The last Sunday of April is the
official time for the change as
nrescribed bv state law. Omc-
ial hour is 2 a.m. but probably
most folks will set their time
pieces ahead before they retire
Saturday night.
So, don't forget and get your
self tripped up.
THE PORTLAND EIGHTH
GRADE TOUR has proven to
be one of the very fine events
of the year here, and it will be
good to have tne visiting young
sters in the county again this
week-end.
This is the fifth year that the
tour has been held, and this
time the route around the coun
ty will be in a different area
from those in the past. This
brings variety to the tour and
keeps it from becoming a rou
tine thing for those who spon
sor it.
We remember some of the
Portland kids on the first tour.
Those who came in 1964 are
freshmen in colleee now as
suming they continued their ed
ucations after high scnooi. uur
bet is that they think of their
visit in Morrow county even
yet, and with some fondness.
On the tour pagre (page 6) of
this paper is the photo taken
a number of years ago .(per
haps it was on the 1964 tour)
of a lad gleefully "swimming"
in a truckload of wheat. We re
call how the visitors went wild
when they got into that truck
load of wheat. It tickled them
pink.
We wonder where this young
"wheat swimmer" Is now.
THERE'LL BE plenty of fun
around Heppner Friday night
at the Moonlight Sale, and we
note from the ads In this pa
per that there are some super
duper bargains offered. Re
sponse on the Moonlight Sale
last September was far beyond
the merchants' expectations,
and as they present this sec
ond one, they have tried to pro
vide even better values for the
shopping public.
More stores than ever before
have bought special new mer
chandise to offer for this event.
Somehow, a special sale such
as this in a town like Heppner
turns out to be a festive event.
Everyone seems to get In the
spirit, friends meet friends and
quip and josh each other, and
it proves tun ior everyone.
The public's good response on
these promotions encourages
merchants to offer more such
events. If you like them, you
can show It bv turning out Fri
day night by moonlight. The
moon may not be shining here
but it must be some place:
GILES FRENCH was in Heppner
for a couple of days tne tirst
of the week, doing researcn to
wards the Morrow county his
torv. He can reallv dig out the
information on our past and
come up with things we've
never heard of.
This morning he mentioned,
for instance, that the communi
ty of Douclas was once an im
portant shipping point in the
countv. We never heard of it
before.
He wondered how Eightmile
pot its name. "Eteht miles from
where?" he asks. And also, how
about Gooseberry? Can anyone
enlighten him with the facts?
LAST WEEK-END the G-T staff
was ensased in printing what
we call "the bed sheets." These
are the primary election ballots
and get the nickname because
of their length.
The Democratic ballot will be
a full yard long. Nearly half of
it is taken bv names of candi
dates to the Demo national con
vention. There are 83 candidates
for 25 positions from the state
at large, In addition to the can
didates from the second con
gressional district.
Republican ballot win oe
somewhat shorter, since there
are not quite so many candi
dates for the convention on it.
but it also will be long enough.
The ballots will be printed
in the paper prior to election,
and anyone who wants to vote,
intelligently on the candidates
for convention will have to do
his home work before going to
the polls. It would take quite
a while to peruse them all In
the votine booth unless a per
son has some Idea of his choices

The G-T printed ballots for
Gilliam and Wheeler counties
last week with Ed Morgan, Gil
liam countv clerk, and Jim Ma
ha f fey. Condon Globe-Times
publisher, present to help out.
This week-end we turn to the
Morrow countv ballots. Sadie
Parrlsh. countv clerk, tvoed UD
the coov for the ballots, and
the white sheets she made up
almost truly look like bed
sheets.
Mrs. Parrlsh Is a real veteran
at these elections, and It surely
is good to have the copy come
In for printing in tne snape
that she prepares.
Indications are that there will
be a lot of interest In the elec
tion on May 28, but most of It
will be from state and nation
al races. County offices in Mor
row. Wheeler and Gilliam, have
very few contests.
