The ladies are complaining to Congress about the federal excise tax on cosmetics which does not apply to shaving equipment. We would hate to be the congressman trying to explain why he proposes to continue to tax only the women. o o— — Plans are underway by the Adams County Shrine dub to take part in the annual Shrine circus next year. School children of the county, who are guests of the local club at the circus, by their attendance contribute to children’s hospital program of the Shrine. Members purchase the tickets and the proceeds are donated to the hospitals. o o— Cattlemen have settled for a year at least the best breed of beef animal. A Shorthorn has won the grand championship at the International Livestock Exposition. A representative of the most popular breed in number of entries, Aberdeen Angus, was named reserve champion. Both were owned by Penn State University, the fourth time in the history of the show that one exhibitor has had both winners. o—o The world now has a new heavyweight boxing champion in Floyd Patterson, the youngest man and the 20th since John L. Sullivan to hold the title. Four years ago he was an amateur Olympic champion. At 21, he will pick up his 30 per cent share of the gate and radio and television rights to be a rich man. A moral could be pointed out to him in the person of Joe Louis, who appeared briefly in the ring before the fight. One of the greatest heavyweight champions of all times, he earned millions as a fighter. Today he not only is broke, but owes the government nearly a million dollars in back income taxes. It’s, often easier to make a million than to keep it. But we think it would be fun trying. m —o—o- — It’s now reported that the Hungarians may have been misled in their revolt against the Russians by the propaganda of the Free America radio programs and newspapers dropped from balloons. Some of the refugees have said they expected American troops to move in as soon

as they threw off Russian dictatorship. Instead, they found the United State* engrossed in an election and no help or plans available except donations of food and used clothing by churches. Thousands of Hungarians may hive been deported or killed in the futile revolution. Now it is said that propaganda, which was paid for by American oil companies, an auto concern and some private donations, has been suspended. Free America officials said they did not attempt to incite a- revolt but to promote “gradualism” in thd separation of the satellite nations from Russian control. This country and the Western World need a plan and a program if the world is to be freed. „ —o o The boosting of F. H. A. interest rates by one half per cent may end the legalized black market situation which has plagued home buyers for the last two or three years. Interest rates on new F.H.A. loans will now be five per cent plus one half per cent to the government for insuring the loan by the government. For the last few years, large lending institutions have been discounting F.H.A. loans and presently some are retaining from four to eight per cent of the amount borrowed. Smaller institutions which did not believe in this way to do business refused to make F.H.A. loans at all. The G. I. loan rate of 4’4 per cent is still frozen far below the current interest rates and few are being processed. Whether an incraseed rate of interest will be sufficient to attract F. H. A. lending is doubtful as most of the larger lending institutions are now getting from to six per cent interest on conventional loans (loans made without government guarantees). At least F. H. A. loans will be slightly more attractive. Whether one agrees or not with the current government hard money, high interest program, it is evident by the fewer new houses now being built that the present system of controlled O.P.A. — like interest rates on one class of lending will not work. Whether or not home buyers can pay the higher cost of construction plus the higher interest rates still remains to be seen.
