Remembrance of Things Past Most of the time, the writings of our "community correspondents," who report the news from a baker's dozen areas within the Mail Tribune's circulation ter ritory, deal with things of chief interest to residents of the communities involved. They report visits, and PTA meetings, and Grange meetings, cooked food sales, parties, and the comings and goings of their friends and neighbors. Occasionally, however, our correspondents are moved to write things which are not, strictly speaking, "news." IT IS A problem for those who edit their copy to know what to do about such offerings. If they are well-written, and interesting, and topical, they usually are'printed. If they lack these qualities, and perhaps have a more personal approacn tnan is aeemea prop er, they are black-penciled usually with reluctance, Once in a while, however, we run across some- thin? a correspondent has written which fits into no easily determined category, yet is of sufficient merit to justify printing, bucn a one came across our aebit last week from the pen of Mrs. H. H. Chapman, who writes for the .Mail Tribune from HornbrooK. RS. Chapman, in a reflective mood, had read in Mrs. Helga Mitchell's Applegate-Jacksonvine column a auerv as to whether the "idealized" view 01 farm life quiet, contemplative, unhurried ever really existed. Mrs. Chapman answered as follows :. Yes, dear friend, those "pastoral scenes" did exist. They existed in the days before the advent of our many time saving and labor-saving devices; in the pre-ulcer days when people took time to "live" when making and cultivating of friendship was a much-desired part of life in the days when "civic betterment" and "rural improvement" were accomplished, and juvenile problems held at a minimum, not by the frantic mad dash from club meeting to club meeting, but by the simple and soul-satisfying expedient of each family taking it upon themselves to develop their place into the best one in the community, and raise their children to be the "best kids in town." This was considered a God-given privilege not lust a "cross to be borne" and was done according to the dictates of their own good judgment, and an occasional trip to the wood-shed, and other methods advocated by the teachings In the Good Book. How well we remember some of the lessons thus taught by our Grandfather. Grandfather never threatened to "whop" us for our wrong-doings. Transgress once, and Grandfather "whopped" first, and explained later. That kind of "child psychology" we understood. How's Business? Election Year Dispute Growing Over Question M But the peace and quiet of the country were not over looked. They were given to be enjoyed, and enjoy them we did. We were taken each year, along with our brother, from the city where we were born and raised, to our Grandfather's farm in western Nebraska, there to spend three glorious months each summer. One of our most poig nant memories is of the evenings spent on the front porch, the creaking of Grandfather's rocking chair mingled with the chirp of a cricket, and now and then the "burp" of the giant hop-toad that was our regular visitor. We listened to the drone of the grown-ups' conversation: How much we learned of life those evenings no TV, then, to watch. And Oh! the delicious thrill of anticipation when we heard Grandfather rise from his chair and head for the well there to draw up the luscious ripe watermelon that had hung there in a gunnysack all day to cool. There, in the cool of the grass, face buried from ear to ear and juice dripping from chin to bare toes, we would inhale the rich, delicious sweetness. Has anything ever tasted so good since? e m m If we sound a bit nostalgic well, we are. That item sent us off in a day-dream of reminiscence, and we can say " with the poet, "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood when fond recollection presents them to view . . ." Not that we would go back to the drudgery of the "good old days." but that we might recapture the luxury of the calm, unhurried pace of living that made that "idyllic dream" thus portrayed not a fallacy but a reality. Washington (CQ) Wash ington politicians and bureau crats are working themselves into an election year lather over that familiar Main Street ques tion "How's, business?" There's not too much disagree ment over the general health of the economy. It's good. But about the state of small busi ness there is disagreement. Chairman Wright Patman (D- Texas) of the House Small Busi ness Committee says, 'The it- uation is bad and, under this Administration, it's going to get worse. The big get bigger ana the small go out of business. Wendell B. Barnes, the Ad ministration's small business ex pert, counters: "Anyone who takes the view there is a crisis that is desrierate is not going to convince his listeners among tne small business audience. We've been in a boom economy and small business has shared the prosperity." Boom or Gloom? Boom or gloom? In part the disagreement can be laid to nor mal pre-election partisanship In part, it's because the men in Washington just don t know. There are about four million small businesses, in this country; more than nine-tenths of all U.S. firms fit into this loosely-defined category. There is no standard yardstick for measuring their growth or decline. The number of businesses has been increasing more slowly in the past three years than in the previous six. In 1954, m fact. there was a net loss of 15,700 firms; In 1955, a gain of 28,300 These are estimates, of course. Today there's one business for every 39 residents; over the past quarter-century, the average has been one for every 41 persons. The rate of business failures has risen from 14 per 10,000 firms in 1947 to 42 per 10,000 firms last year. So far in 1956. the rate is 45 per 100,000. For the whole 20th century, the av erage rate has been 70 per 10, 000. These are based on a pri vate firm's study of about two- thirds of the nation s businesses. Shalcv Figures When it comes to sales ana Mrnines. the litrures are even shakier. There are facts on manufac turing corporations; but only 3 nf inn businesses are in this cateeorv. Small manufacturers unose with assets under $1 million) have seen their total net sales decline each year since 1947, SBA's Loan Record In Oregon Listed Washington (CQ) From Its beginning in mid -1953 through last March 31, the Small Business Administra tion approved 39 business loans to Oregon firms. The gross value of the loans was $2,009,0001 and SBA's share came to $1,890,000. The rest was put up by local banks. In the same period, SBA de clined applications for 84 bus iness loans with a value of $5,438,000 in Oregon. - The government agency also helps businessmen and house holders who lose property in floods, tornadoes or other nat ural disasters. Forty-sevenadis-aster loans have been approved in Oregon, bringing $266,000 worth of assistance. SBA has declined six applications for $29,000 disaster relief. (Copyright 1956, Congresional Quarterly) ran out of loan funds April 11 and discontinued all but its emergency activities until last week, when Congress voted an extra $20 million for use through June 30. SBA operates under an order from Congress that "all loans made shall be of such sound value or so secured as reason ably to assure repayment." Barnes says "delinquencies and losses have been held to a low British Royal Family Gets Adv.ce, Criticism; Habit Of Chicling Royalty Ancient rm..a. 2IP. ?r4Z M level . . . $500,000 ... and prob XT ,oS.V My considerably less.' more m ajjuo man iui share of the market declined ana earnings after taxes were higher in 1955 than in 1954. Similarly, in defense contracts small business dollar contracts increased from 1954 to 1955, but its slice of the total defense con tract Die diminished. There's plenty of room tor oninion in interpreting inesc figures. The Senate Small Busi ness Committee, under Demo cratic control, says in its 1956 annual report: "There is an ominous significance in an eco nomic atmosphere which makes it possible for the nation s mam moth corporations to reap rec ord profits while the general run of small enterprises are worse off than they were three years ago." Narrow the Gap Barnes, the Republican Ad ministration's spokesman, sees it this way: "Small businesses are worse off than they were in 1947. 1948 or the Korean war period, but in better shape than they were in 1952 or 1953. There is still a large gap between big and litle firms but our hope is we can narrow the gap and con tinue the upward trend. Barnes is the $17,500-a-year head of the Small Business Ad ministration, and 800-man agen cy created by Congress in 1953 ministration record, to "aid, counsel, assist and pro- perhaps the November elec tect .' . . the interests of small tion returns will finally tell how business."

The agen cy s last report said it applies the most liberal interpretation of these policies and require ments possible, consistent with sound credit . principles." But the Senate Small Business Com mittee in January said that while SBA was to protect the interests of the public in assess ing the loan applications, it was also expected to be courageous enough to make loans which pri vate institutions had declined." Not Partisan Barnes says SBA's loan pol icies are not a partisan ques tion. Both parties would say: Don't compete with banks; don't subsidize inferior management; don't bail a lender out of a poor private loan." But Rep. Patman calls SBA an absolute disgrace," -says Congress should abolish it "and put up an agency that will help small business.

The campaign of criticism has been going on for " several months. There have been simi lar campaigns, at intervals, for hundreds of years. This one may be expected to peter out when the critics get tired, or when they themselves are made the targets of criticism. The Labor party newspaper organ, the Daily rieraia, ana Labor members of Parliament have been leaders in the cam paign. But much of the criticism of the Duke ol tainDurgn nas come from court circles. Duke's Plans Hit Last March columnists m the the maintenance of royal aig- nity? The latest outbreaK came irom Labor members of Parliament who complained that the 20- year-old Duke of Kent, the queen's cousin, was indulging in wild parties. Started in 1952 Criticism of the Duke of Edin burgh started in court circle soon after Elizabeth became queen in 1952 and they moved into Buckingham Palace. The duke, born a Greek prince in a family where money was none too plentiful, was ap palled at the expense of main taining the royal household. He found that there were too many royal servants, that hun dreds of members of Britain i leading families were free-loading at the queen's expense in houses and apartments allotted them in various royal palaces. As the queen's husband, he start ed chopping down, and the peo ple on whom he chopped got pretty bitter. There is official criticism of the duke also because he insists on putting ideas into his speeches instead of confining himself to platitudes. This is the same thing that happened to the last husband of reigning queen Prince Al bert, consort of Queen Victoria.

On this page last Sunday, an article by Congress ional Quarterly service told how the Bradley commis sion's report on veterans pensions has stirred the wrath of the major veterans organizations. The report was prepared by a Presidential com mission, headed by the "GI's General," Omar Brad ley, which suggested an overhauling and reexamina tion of the pension set-up, and its possible coordina tion with social security, more benefits for veterans disabled during their service career, less benefits to non-disabled veterans, and the philosophy that mili tary service is "an obligation of citizenship and should not be considered inherently a basis for future gov ernment benefits." IT WAS the last of these points that has done most to raise the ire of the American Legion, the Veter ans of Foreign Wars, and the Amvets or, it would probably be more correct to say, their leaders. - Bob Ingalls of the Corvallis Gazette-Times, him self a veteran and a member of two organizations, asks: "How do the leaders of these organizations know how the individual members feel about these proposals? . . , The policies are seemingly made at top level and then the individual posts around tne country are asked to pass resolutions in support of the policy and the leaders position. This procedure is wrong . , POR ourselves, we go along with the idea that a man disabled in the military service of his nation is deserving of the best possible care by that nation. But we've never been able to figure out just why those with disabilities which have no connection with their service are entitled to preferential treatment, or why a few months or years of service entitle anyone to a pension. Present laws have come about largely through pressure from the veterans groups, and many of them are good and necessary, giving protection to those needing and deserving it. uut attempts to mane veter ans "super citizens" are something eke again. Perhaps a majority of the veterans agree, for of the 22 million veterans in the nation, only a tiny min ority belong to any one of the veterans organizations.

Eisenhow er administration strategy ap pears to look to the Senate for restoration of cuts made by the House Foreign Affairs commit tee in its estimates of new money needed for foreign aid. The House committee carved $1,109, 000,000 from the $4,900,000,000 requested by the administration. An "open rule" for the bill was granted by the House Rules committee, leaving tne way open for restoration of the cut or for further slashes when it is taken up on the floor. The Foreign Alfairs commii- tee snipped $1 billion from the $3 billion request for military aid. In a formal report filed May 26, the committee said that arms shipments now assignea xo Europe should be sent elsewhere until NATO allies clarity ine defense policies they intend to follow. The committee Dut a ceiling of $400 million on military aid for Europe, as against the adminis tration reauest for $760 million Chairman James P. Richards (D-S.C.) said that cut was moti vated bv "reDorts of slow prog ress in German rearmament" and "French apathy in defense, also by "French diversion of North AUantic Treaty Organi zation forces" to North Africa, and a trend in Great Britain to ward a slacking off of the de fense effort. So now comes NATO com mander Gen. Alfred M. Gruen ther to argue the administra tion's case for European mili tary aid. He testifies before a Senate committee, but his ap pearance is timed with an eye to influencing the House. General Gruenther is accus tomed to the role of "Big Gun' in pleading NATO's cause be fore congressional committees- On June 9, 1955 he told the House committee considering last year's foreign aid program. We must continue the course that we have set. To do other wise would be to forfeit the ad vantages we now have apd which are bringing about great gains.

In 1953, just after taking over from Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway as NATO supreme commander, Gruenther flew to Washington to testify before the House Ap propriations Committee on tor- eign aid. The new commander warned that if aid were cut sharoly the Allies might "lose confidence in us." In 1952, as chief of staff to NATO, Gruenther delivered to the Senate and. House commit tees the plea of his Supreme Commander, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. He said a sharp cut in foreign aid would mean "serious disadvantage for the United States." Eisenhower backed him up with a cable to the Senate Foreign Relations committee. There was "no accep table alternative" to the Mutual Security program, he wrote. Se curity and peace would "become more expensive if it is unneces sarily postponed, dragged out, and delayed." Ike had been the Truman ad ministration's "Big Gun" . the year before. He told Senators under the old counting method. Democrats charged the adminis tration with juggling figures. Findings for May, using both the current survey method and the new revised method, are scheduled for publication side by side within the next few days.
