U.S.-Mexican relations have improved some
wnat over the past two years.
It is genuinely believed at the U.S. State De
partment that President Kennedy and the First
Lady will receive a warm welcome south of the
border, despite some apparently Communist-in'
spired agitation in advance of their visit. And the
conversations with President Adolfo Lopez Ma-
teos should make for a still better understanding
Detween the two countries.
Mexico is important to the United States in
any number of ways. It is our best customer in
Latin America. In 1960 Mexico bought more than
$802 million in U.S. goods; it shipped goods
wortn more than $44o million to this country
u. b. investors have a more-than-$l billion in
terest in Mexican industry: more than 500 U.S
firms active in Mexico keep the dollars flowing
across the rjoraer.
1V4EXICO is even more important to us po
1T1 litically.
Mexicans like to think of their country as a
Dnage Detween the bnglish-speaking giant to the
north and the whole of Latin America. The idea
is looked upon with favor here. But Fidel Castro
has plenty of followers among the Mexican peo
ple, and the government must take some account
of their views. Moreover, the Mexican doctrine
of "continuing revolution" makes necessary at
least an occasional dow toward r idel.
All this is relieved somewhat by the fact that
Lopez Mateos heads what is essentially a middle-
or-the road government, for that matter, the non-
Marxist Party of Revolutionary Institutions,
which has held a political monopoly in Mexico
for more than three decades, has encouraged the
development of a new burgeoning middle class.
indeed, some ot the old revolutionaries ' would
look upon Sen. Barry Gold water (R-Ariz.) as
not suiticiently conservative.
Lopez Mateos is handintr out land to peasants.
but with Cuban-style confiscation. His program
oi nationalization is moderate. He wants par
ticipation of foreign capital in partnership with
Mexican government capital. To encourqge this
he oilers tax concessions and tree currency ex
change. To be sure, most of these deals are based
on 51 per cent Mexican control.
A FLURRY of bad feeling preceded the Ken
"nedys, the result of some ill-advised remarks
by Vincente Sanchez Gavito, Mexican ambassa
dor to the Organization of American States, in
the course ot heated debate on quota contribu
tions to the OAS. But the Mexican government
apologized and Sanchez Gavito said he was mis
quoted.
' President Kennedy minimized the importance
oi tne amoassaaor s remarKs at his June 7 news
conference, saying they were "a matter between
the representative and his own government rather
than between this government and the ambassa
dor." . , , ' ;
Sanchez Gavito on June 8 told an audience
in Nebraska that the President's Alliance for Pro
gress is "the most ambitious and complex plan
for technical and financial assistance ever launch
ed any place m the world."
This helped put U.S.-Mexican relationships
back in focus. For if the Alliance scheme cannot
be made to work in Mexico, which has carried out
and is continuing to carry out the reforms in
dispensable to the program, it's difficult to con
ceive of its working out anywhere else in Latin
America. E.R.R.

Taxpayers: Save Receipts
Beginning on Sunday, the Internal Revenue
Service will begin severely checking travel and
entertainment deductions for income tax pur
poses. This is assuming the House-passed admin
istration tax revision bill receives Senate ap
proval. IRS of late has proved notably more suspici
ous than in the past of expenses claimed as de
ductible for business purposes, and the new law
would allow even tougher treatment. President
Kennedy had originally reouested virtual elimin
ation of tax deductions for entertainment and
had recommended setting daily limits on travel
expenses and lodging as deductions. He said on
April 20, 1961: "The slogan, 'It's deductible,'
snouia pass irom tne scene.
THE House Ways and Mean committee, under
great pressure from restaurant owners and
the travel business, watered down the expense
account provision. Still, the new rules look string
ent. For example, if over half the use of a club is
for business purposes, then that portion but
only that portion can be written off for tax
purposes.
"Variety", fully aware of the importance of
travel in show business and its treatment as a
business expense warned its readers, May 80:
"Theatrical folk are advised of the ahsnlntu im.
portance of having receipts for everything, no
matter how small . . . Those who occupy luxurv

that all these three also come
through the trial heats of '62.
But, however this talk may
run, it will necessarily be iffy
talk. What will not be iffy at
all will be this: Scranton will
have become a Republican
rescuer of a special kind. He
will have repelled the long
Democratic invasion from
what used to be the very cita
del of Republicanism along
the Atlantic coast.
He may or may not become
Mr, Republican in 1964. But
he will surely be Mr. Repub

moment Governor Rockefel

Khrushchev Ends
Tour of Romania
Moscow - (UPI) - Soviet Pre
mier 'Nikita Khrushchev re
turned home today from a
weeklong tour of Romania
during which he renewed his
threat to conclude an East
German peace treaty if the
West prolongs negotiations.
Before leaving Bucharest,
the Soviet premier - thanked
his Romanian hosts and ex
pressed satisfaction that their
talks resulted In "complete
agreement." He stressed the
necessity of "preserving the
purity of the Leninist-Marxist
party and a relentless fight
against dogmatism and revisionism."
Khrushchev told a mass
meeting of Romanian Com
munist party members in Bu
charest Sunday that the
'only" solution to Berlin was
to "end the military occupa
tion status and convert it into
a demilitarized free city."
The Soviet premier said
Russia favors negotiations to
settle its differences with the
West. But he added:
If the West wants to drag
on negotiations as a device
for escaping from its Tesponsi-
bilics we will sign a separate
peace treaty with the German
Democratic Republic with all
its consequences."

10 votes a "gross disservice
against the welfare of the
American farmer and all the
rest of the American taxpayers."
Morse said the bill's defeat
would cost the American peo
ple "during the next 10 years
an extra SI billion which
would have been saved by the
Kennedy program."
Morse said he hoped that
agriculture spokesmen for the
administration will come for

Jacksonville Sewer
To the Editor: I've been
asked to write an article on
the sewer project that's loom
ing up in Jacksonville. Has
already "loomed" in fact.
I know very little about
such matters so can only look
and listen for acorns to fall,
like a pig under an oak tree.
According to the gentle
men, renters, non-property
owners, voted this sewer busi
ness in. By the 'phone calls
I received on the subject, the
sewer system was generally
not wanted.
We have a large, very ade
quate cesspool, but are told
they will oblige us by law to
pay hundreds of dollars for
something we do not need.
Now they are about to add
two dollars a month to our
water bill for a "sinking
fund." Several of us wonder
where it is to sink to, and
why.
We are in our seventies and
our Social Security check is
our living; at his age, Mr. S.
who is a painter, does not get
rcsulnr employment.
We had hoped to spend the
rest of our days In Jackson
ville, but it seems that we
must sell out In order to man
age. I do believe it is illegal
for renters to vote on such a
project. Also, the addition to
our water bill is questionable,
as we won't get our water
from the sewer, I hope.
We did go to the meeting
where the sewer system was
discussed but from the look
on many !ces, we did not
believe anything would come
of it.
No doubt there are some
smelly cesspools in Jackson
ville which should be re
placed. My nose tisual'v I
knows, but it hasn't detected
anv foul odor as yet.
Also, it has been suggested
that a petition be taken
around.
Now I've aired that which
Mr. T. asked me to. and I
shall promptly say my pray
ers and Join the sheep.

rpHE proposal, as embodied
in Senate Joint Resolution
44, authorizes the secretary of
the interior to make incen
tive payments, over and above
the price of gold, to domestic
miners for a period of five
years, or long enough to re
store U.S. golf reserves to
$23 billion, their approxi
mate level four years ago.
The incentive payments
would vary from mine to
mine, depending upon what
amount would enable each
mine to get into production,
but in no case would pay
ments exceed S35 an ounce
ABOVE the existing $35 mar
ket price. This provision rec
ognizes that one mine can
get into production at say $45
an ounce, whereas another
mine might require as much
as $55.
The proposed legislation
would not establish a two
price system for gold, nor
would it affect the monetary
price of gold - which would
remain at $35 an ounce. It
would not disturb the value of
the dollar. No payments un
der the program would be
made during any period in
which U. S. gold reserves
reach the $23 billion level.
OENATOR Engle's proposal
is opposed by the U. S.
Treasury, whose Undersecre
tary Robert Roosa bluntly
told a senate interior subcom
mittee the other day that the
Treasury has not changed its
views in opposition to incen
tive payments to domestic
gold producers.
He added:
"If the United States gov
ernment should add an un
precedented subsidy to the
official $35 price for gold,
such action would be con
strued by the rest of the
world as evidence that de
valuation was under way."
WO Undersecretary Roosa's
statement Senator Carroll
of Colorado, a member of the
subcommittee, replied by not
ing that similar subsidies by
other nations had not upset
the rest of the world. He then
introduced into the record
descriptions of gold subsidy
programs developed by Can
ada, Australia, Fiji, Columbia,
The Philippines and Southern
Rhodesia.
Senator Engle commented
that "one sure way to help
the gold shortage is to GET
MORE GOLD." and added:
"We've got to move more
gold IN'TO Fort Knox and
stop the drain through the
back door at the same time."
It's beginning to look like
we re going to need it.
tJESIDES-
Here in our State of Jef
ferson there's a lot of gold
in them thar hills yet, pod
ner. The reason none of it
is being taken out is that it
costs considerably more to
mine an ounce of gold than
the $35 the federal govern
ment fixes as the price.
And-
Taking out the gold that re
mains in our hills would
mean quite a shot in the arm
for the economy of our area.
We could use it.

More power to you, Clair.

to her for so long that I find
it impossible to change."
His plight which is real
enough reminded me of the
old story about the vaudeville
knife-thrower who had used
his wife as a target for years,
out-lining her body on the
board with only a hairs
breadth between her skin
and the knives.
One day he learned that
he was unfaithful to him.
and decided to kill her dur
ing the evening perform
ance, when it would look
like an accidental slip of
the knife.
He tried for a week's per
formances, and couldn't hit
her he had practiced just
missing for so many years
that his reflexes wouldn't
allow him to come any
closer.
Most of us are in the emo
tional position of the knife
thrower. Our attitudes to
ward those around us tend
to congeal with time, and
even when we want to
change them, we often find
that fixed habit makes us
rever to the old and easy
atliiudei - evt when ws
have, in a way, outgrown
them.
"Habits, If not resisted."
warned St. Augustine, "snnr.
become necessity." The habits
of the mind are even strong,
er than those of the body. It
is easier lor a. man to on it
smoking than to stop bullying
his employees; the first mere
ly satisfies a physical craving,
while the second soon be
comes a consuming spiritual
necessity.
There is a great danger in
our reactions becoming rigid
toward anyone with whom we
work or live in close associa
tion. It is commonly observ
able that young people are
nicer to strangers than thev
are to their own parents: this
is because they resent the
parents fixed attitudes toward
tnem as they grow older and
demand to be treated as emer
gent adults, not as infants.
We periodically re-evaluate
our possessions, our position,
our standing in terms of ma
terial achievements and goals;
it is a pity that most of us
are not able, also neriodicallv.
to re-evaluate our attitudes
that have grown encrusted
with habit. After all. the core
of neurotic behavior consists
in reliving the past without
knowing it.
