But I phane as a wrapping agent, but guMs that was too simple, so now I guess I was wrong. Back when the thin, transparent, crinkly cel lophane came out manufacturers clasped it to ineir oosoms wun loving care. They vied with each other to see who could turn out the most nearly Impenetrable pack age. Over the years they perfected various wraps, particularly in the Held of assorted candles, that al most delled entry by the average man unequipped with the latest in wrecking tools. But now they have found a new method which bids fair to- end merchandising as we know It to day and launch mankind Into an era of having but not being able to use our myriad products. 1 re fer to this fancy scheme of sealing things in plastic. I picked up a small piece of equipment the other day that had been given hls treatment and finally ended up having to cut the gadget loose witn a knife, breaking the point of the knife in so doing. It was a clever job of packaging, I admit, all done up neatly, the metal of the product showing pristine and clear through tne top, a gnarled edge mat led one to believe that the lid would screw off the round package and not a seam or a break in it any where. Under this system of merchandis ing the only real advantage I can see Is that we can now bring our window shopping home with us. And while I'm on the subject of hard-to-open packages let me Include the book Industry. Fre quently here at the office we are the recipients of various books, all of which come wrapped In about eleven layers of cardboard and sealed up with enough gummed taps to make mummy wrappings for Primo Camera. Several years ago an Insulated package which stapled together at the top was developed for the sole purpose of mailing books without damage. All most people mall books that have been sealed up tighter than the Empire state building time capsuie. And, to the sportsmen, let's dwell fleetlngly on the manufac turers of sleeping bags. When you To down to the slore you can find whole (.helves ol sleeping b';s. Bags done up with wool and Da cron, with down and with Kapok. You can find short ones and long ones, wide ones and narrow ones. Heavyweights and lightweights. All colors. And ail done up in neat canvas bags with a draw string at the top. I hope someday before I die I am aflorded an opportunity to go back to one of the various factories and see the machine used in In serting the bag itself into this outer shell. It must be about the size of an auto body press and exert many, many tons of pres sure to be able to compress the sleeping bag Into a slim enough tube to fit Into the transportation case. I know for a fact that It Is almost Impossible to take the bag out, sleep In It overnight and then roll It up tight enough to fit back in the original sack. I've been trying to do It for years. Putting toothpaste back In the tube would be easier than getting your sleep ing bag back Into its sack. Still on 'he subject of modern manufacturing I'd like to Insert a simple query into this opus as to when auto manufacturers are go ing to stop hiding the spare tire and the oil stick? They have suc ceeded in getting the oil stick around to such a point that it Is almost Impossible to get out even alter you Ilnd It, and as for spare tires, you all know how hard they are to get at. why don't they go back to hanging 'em on the back end, out in the open, like they used to? HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (m Now ta the tlma to gel yourself a fresh new worry. Worry Is a sign of civilisation and anyone without a worry has a guilty feeling that he lias turned into a barbarian. To be In style you have to be probophlle that Is, a worry wsrt. a guy who likes to find things to oe afraid of. But this Isn t as easy as It used lo be. It has been getting harder and harder to find anything to worry about In America ever since Prank- lin O. Roosevelt declared In 1933 that all we had to fear was fear Itself. The real art of worrying In this country has been going downhill ever since. For worries do wear cut. Everyone for example, is plumb tired of fretting about the atm bomb. Now that the Rus- elans sre acting like graduatea of a chirm school Dale Carnegie must be required reading In the Kremlin today the proper attitude toward them seems to be one ol dubious suspicion rather than of downright worry. "Times are too good," says the average man, unhappily, "there Just Isn't anything mora lelt to worry about." This is a ridiculous attitude. A man with any Ingenuity can al ways una something worth fret. ting about. The real test of a wor rier is his ability to see the dark lining in any sliver cloud. The chances sre you have bunch of worries you don't even . realise. Look within yourself and lind them. Bring these hidden trou bles out. Learn their scientlllc names.

National Farmers Union, in commenting upon the Walton Soil Plan as proposed by the Izaak Walton League ol America, had this tc say: 'This idea is not completely new, In the first days of farm programs as we know them today in 1933, '34. and '35. the approach to con tracted acres under which the farmer agreed to take out a cer tain percentage of his acreage un der contract with the government and to receive a certain payment for taking those acres out was es sentially tnis sort oi approacn. it was not well worked out. It had many features about It that were not as good as the Walton Plan, but as I think back to the possi bilities it had land the Izaak Wal ton Committee has developed many of those possibilities). I think it probably still was the best ap proach we have ever tried, and with the Improvements of the Wal ton Plan and other Improvements that I am sure can be made I personally believe that it will do a better job for that part of the farm program for which it Is de signed to be substituted. "Other speakers have comment ed upon the deficiencies of the individual crop allotment approach to try to get production in line with demand. Our experience goes back over a number ol years. I was very close to It because I administered many of those pro grams. I know that by the time we got Into the last worm war and during the war, when we sometimes had to think ahead to what our postwar adjustment would be and we anticipated some of the kinds of problems that we have today. I personally had become convinced that the Individual allot ment approach was not as effective as we had hoped It would be and It was not going to do the kind of Job It ought to do. first be cause when ypu try to control the production of one crop, as has al ready been pointed out, even if you are successful with It, you probably Increase the production of another crop of which you have Just enough and consequently you transfer your trouble Instead ol solving it." It reminds me." continued Oelssler, "a great deal of the feather mattress that we used to have on the bed up In North Dako ta when I was a youngster. When It got a little too warm and you tried to pound It down here it popped up over here, and that is about the way our allotment ap proach has worked In the past. The other weakness I think of the individual crop allotment ap proach has been that there has not been tne right kind ol relation ship between the acres that were taken out of production and the acres that should have been taken out of production. When you un dertake control ol production, let's say of a crop like wheat, your percentage of reduction on each individual farm is generally pretty close to uniform. There Is some leeway In there and local com mittees may make some adjust ments for unusual conditions, but they are not very broad and you are Just as likely to take the same percentage of acreage out of pro- If you can't worrv about nnv. thing else, you can at least sue- ductlon In good fertile land where cumb to barophobia, the fear of there is no danger of erosion, as gravity (you can always fall back you are from some dust bowl farm on gravity) or cherorihobla. where a greater amount, or prob- CherOPhobla la the fear of helnfr ablv nil.

But this Is a control program to day.. The Walton Plan simply is approaching It from the other end. Instead of saying that we need only so many acres of wheat and so many acres of cotton and so many acres of corn, the Walton Plan Is saying that we have 30 or 40 million acres we do not need in crops; consequently it proposes to retire them through the method suggested and this in itself brings about control. "I think the desirable part of It Is that adjustment within the crops and between the crops then is pret ty free and permita Individual ad justments on farms depending upon land suitability, adaptation to practices and that sort of thing, and I think that it Is all to the good. But let's not kid ourselves that we Hon't have a control pro gram here. It Is exactly that. I said at the outset that we are in agreement with the basic objec tives and for the most part with the approach that the Izaak Walton League has made here. There is a great deal of detail to be worked out. As evidence to show that the Farmers Union is in agreement with this proposal we have rec ommended It to Congress. Bill have already been Introduced In Congress. One Is House resolution 3012 Introduced by Congressman Metcalf of Montana. Similar bills have been introduced by Carl An derson, congressman from Mlnni sota; Jim Polk, congressman from Ohio; and Senator Humphrey from Minnesota. Those bills donot dif fer too much. They do not go into the detail -that the Walton Plan recommendation does but In sub stance do not differ from the pro posal that the Izaak Walton League has made here." (Editor's note: A chief difference is that these proposals made by the congressmen are merely year- to-year programs while the Walton Plan take a long range viewpoint.) "I have just about touched on the details that need to be worked out," continues Geissler. They may. as the Izaak Walton League goes down the road, seem very difficult obstacles but don't let that stop you because all tnose tmngs can oe worked out. You can compromise on detail, you can compromise on mechanics, and you can compro mise on many other aspects without actually discarding or los ing out on the basic objectives and the principles that the league is going at." Woman On Trial For Man's Murder HEPPNEB ( Mrs. Ann Whit ney Avent, being tried for second degree murder in the fatal shoot ing of Portland attorney Dcllmore Lcssard, Tuesday took the stand In her own delense. She testified that Lessard. who came to the caie where she was working to discuss the custody of her son, has threatened to have the child placed in an orphanage. Les sard was representing Mrs. Avent's divorced husband at the time. The 38-year-old woman said she did not know "when, how or where the gun went off," and that her mind went blank before the shoot ing. Her attorneys, John Bassett of Portland and Ralph Currln of Pendleton, contended that no crime was committed. James Marlow Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON OH The cold war with Russia and Red China has grabbed history by the tall and turned It around. This country's driving urge only lo yeara ago, at war's end was to keep Germany and Japan disarmed forever. There was even talk here of turning Germany Into a pastureland. Just to be sure That feeling slowly went into re verse as this country's worries sbout Russia Increased and Red China became a threat in Asia The United States became the strongest advocate of a rearmed West Germany. The former enemy is now In the process of building an army presently limited to 500.000 men and joining Us old toes In the Atlantic Alliance. Once again this ironic reversal of history was highlighted yester day: Secretary of state Dulles and Japanese Foreign Minister Shige- mltsu Issued a statement here on Japan's determination to rearm with American blessing and urg ing. From the American viewpoint with Its eyes fastened on the strength ol Red China Japan isn t rearming fast enough. The American zeal of early post war days to force Japan to stay peaceful was shared by Japanese. They wrote into their constitution under American guidance' a determination to stay unarmed That guarantee has become little awkward now. Japan has been protected from attack by American troops, planes and ships stationed in and around Japan. Eventually this country wants to withdraw its own forces and let the Japanese defend them selves. Under American prodding the Japanese are building an army, but slowly. But because of the Constitutional prohibition against a Japanese military force, the army being 'put together now is called a "security force. . It could be called an army, Its right name. If the constitution were changed. That may be done in time. But a change In the consti tution requires a two-thirds vote in both houses of Parliament aim a majority vote by the people. There are two main political parties In Parliament Shigemit su's Democrots and the Liberals but neither has a majority and therefore neither can supply the two-thirds vote necessary to amend the constitution. The Socialists, of left and right, are against rearmament. So are the Communists. If the Democrats and Liberals merge, as they may, they will have a majority but will still be 13 seats short ol two tnirds. Dulles and Shigemitsu talked here yesterday, the last day of the foreign minister's visit, of when Japan would be strong enough to defend itself and the American troops In Japan, now 100.000, could be withdrawn. That is some distance away. The Japanese have about 150,000 troops In their ground forces now. Shige mltsu talked of Increasing them to about 180,000 by 1958. American officials look upon 180.000 as too little and think that, before Japan has a sufficient de fense force. It should have 360,- 000. Shlgemltsu promised Japan would do its best. It expects to have 1,300 planes by 1960. Time . By Jimmy Hatlo m RAH IklTDA OiAL IN MY TOWN THAT WE COULf?
