MAIL TRIBUHE Why Not Make a Deal? The Christian Rural Overseas Program (CROP) has set itself a goal of 1,350 railroad carloads of American farm products for the needy overseas. Blue prints for the organizational phase of the coordinated endeavor were drawn at the recent meeting of CROP directors in Chicago. A CROP volunteer program which has already start ed and which supplements the carload campaign, is the "Friendship Acres" plan. This seeks to embrace rural youth, farm groups and farm community organ izations and individuals who will "work at giving" by setting aside an acre of grain, a berry patch, a calf, pig or a setting of eggs ana the time of maturity. a a e THE American churches' there is no least intent here to criticize that work or the spirit in which it is undertaken. But one is struck by the lack of overall American organization which makes such far-reaching plans necessary while mil lions of tons of foodstuffs lie spoiling in government caches, collected under the price support program. The government's major alibi in the surplus stor age mess is the cost of transportation and distribution. Such costs, it is claimed, make it impractical to at tempt delivering to the needy here or abroad, the eggs, butter, wheat and corn vast stores of eatables ranging from soup to nuts. IF THE government finds ridding itself of the hoard ed food would be prohibitively costly, how much greater would be the costs entailed in setting up an organization to reach into the outermost corners ot the country for a setting of eggs here, some milk there, little dribs of beans, soybeans, oats, dried fruits, lard, flour, rice, peas, wool and peanuts? WHY can't the government and CROP get together. Why can't the government supply the 1,350 car loadscomparatively speaking, a mere drop in the bucket from its caves and warehouses, and let CARE attend to the distribution? . Such a deal would save CROP a vast effort in collecting and preparing shipments and the govern ment would get rid of a portion at least of the surplus now deteriorating in assembling places. E.C.i .

Truman Raps VFW Protest On Finletter Appointment Washington. June 8 J.R PrsiHMit Truman says all me fuss about what organizations man belongs to gives him "a pain in the neck." lie siivs he s nrobaiuy lomeu some that he wishes he hadn't, but he can't see that It hurt him any. The president let his hair down about It in a letter to Clyde A. Lewis, commander-in- chief of the Veterans ot foreign Wars. The letter. In reply to one written bv Lewis, was reported to have s'et VFW officials back on their heels. Pain in the Neck Lewis had objected to the president's selection of Thomas K. Finletter as secretary of the air force on grounds Finletter had been active In United World Federalists, Inc., an organization VFW doesn't like. "All this howl about organi zations a fellow belongs to gives me a pain In the neck." the presi dent wrote. "I'd be willing to bet my right eye that you. your self, and I have Joined some or ganizations that we wish we hadn't. It hasn't hurt me any and I don't think It has hurt you any." The president aLo took ( crack at veterans' groups for their criticism of public officials. He said they should spend less time tearing people down and more time looking for their good points. Heller for Country His letter, dated May 3S, hid Tuesday, June t. 1830 give ine yieia w uur ai e e cooperative effort to help most commendable and What to See hv the Jackson County tourists ui uut-ui-iui. to think of it, how many how many recreation spots city, most of them in only and recreational side are Park, number one on the this to say on that pomi. It seems to me that if you veterans would spend more time trying to find out the good points of a man in public office instead of Irving to tear him down it would be much more help to the country. There is not a better or more able public servant than Finlet ter. I've known him ever since I have been in Washington he is better equipped to be secretary of the air force than any man In the United States and that is tne reason I appointed him." Finletter is a former New York lawyer who headed a presidential commission on air power that fathered the concept of i 75-group air force. Prior to his appointment as air secretary, he was an economic cooperation administration mission chief in London. In 1947 he became member of the Executive Council of World Federalists, a group seek ing world peace through federa tion He resigned from this post In May. 1948, to leave for Lon don for EC A. 1968 Students Receive Oregon State Diplomas Corvillis, Ore., June 6 (U.R) A record-breaking class of 1968 students received degrees at Ore gon State college's 81st annual commencement here Monday.

Use Mail TrtDune W&k' Ads Frank Perl In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: "Senators called on the state and defense departments today to show what security America is getting in return for vast out lays (of cash) to help rearm Western Europe." PUT in just that way, there can be only one truthful answer to that question: NONE! You can't buy security with money. If we have the idea that by supplying them with guns we can hire or bribe the people of Western Europe into doing our fighting for us in the event that hot war follows the cold war, we're in for a terrible, terrible disappointment. ON THE other hand, if we can help these peoples of West ern Europe, who are our kind of people, to save themselves from the creeping death of com munism, we shall have helped ourselves immensely. If we want to be free, we must have a freedom-loving world to live in. M ODERN war notes: One of our navy patrol plane squadrons is now equipped with the "gliding bat," a 1600-pound steel and plywood missile which MAKES COURSE (JOKKEU TIONS TOWARD ITS TARGET BY RADAR up to the moment of impact. . . . Our air lorce nas a iz.uuu- pound (six-ton) radio-controlled bomb with movable tail fins. Both its range and its movement from left to right and vice versa are controlled by the bom bardier in the mother plane after the bomb is released. lares burn in the bomb's tail to help the bombardier follow it through out its fall. w HAT does all this mean? Well, if vou could shoot at a duck and. after, your charge of shot had left the muzzle of your nun. you could make it FOL LOW THE DUCK till it caught up with him and smacked him. vou could bring home quite a bag of ducks, couldn't you? THESE jiggers are a part of that m u c h-talked-a bout "push-button" war, but don't kid yourself. Push buttons or no push buttons, there will still be GIs with sore feet in the next war. IN SOUTHERN Illinois, near Vandalia, the other night, a kind-hearted truck driver picked up a hitch-hiker. The hiker turn ed out to be an escapee from the Missouri state penitentiary. He raid to his benefactor: "I'll have to kill you because I'm a fugitive from the pen, and I need your truck and I can't take any chances with you." So he shot the kindly trucker twice in the back ana Deal mm up to boot. On top of that he tied him to a tree Just in case the shootings and the beating hadn t done the lob. Then he took the truck and fled. THINGS like that are getting to be rather common. I think I'm an average sort of person. Every time I pass somebody walking along the road, I'd like to pick him up and give him a ride because if I were going somewhere on Shank's ponies I'd like to have somebody pick me up and give me a ride. But usually I think of some grisly case like that one in southern Illinois, grit my teeth, look the other way, step on the throttle and pass him up. It's really a heck of a note when FEAR of what might hap pen to you throttles your im pulse to do a kindly deed. Every time I .t romp down on the treadle and roar past some pe destrian on the highway in a case like that, I feel ashamed of myself for an hour. Dead line Sunday Classified ta at I 1 I sOy)?
