cattle industry a few years ago. Quite obviously the Democratic senator was referring to beef prices during part of the Eisenhower administration which Kerr recalls in somewhat bristling terms. Said one cattleman to another, "If beef prices go down much more, I’m going to have to rob a bank.” "In all confidence,” said the other, “I already have.” Not to denigrate Kerr’s cattleraising acumen, even the Presi-

dent conceded rather humorously that the senator’s success could not be duplicated precisely in other comparative waste lands. Kerr, with the help of a considerable fortune acquired in oil and natural gas, was able to take marginal acreage near lifeless old Oklahoma mountain country coal mines, clear it, fertilize it, water it and thus supply productive pasturage for his finely assembled herd of Black Angus cattle. This is the breed fancied by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower at his Gettysburg, Pa., farm which is opulent, but opulent in Gettysburg. It would be a tiny spread in Oklahoma. Considering his New England upbringing, Kennedy could not be expected to know some of the ramifications of the cattle industry, but he got a jam-packed short course in his overnight stay with Kerr. Among other things, Kerr told the Chief Executive about the virtual disappearance of grass-fed beef from most retail groceries. Cattlemen differ among themselves on this point, but many Americans for years ate grass fed cattle and liked it; even preferred it to the more conventional steers which are started out in life in places such as Texas and Oklahoma, then shipped to the upper Middle West for feeding and final

growth on grain. Kerr said now virtually all beef for retail sale must be grain fed far a simple reason: with'the exploding sp&ad of supermarkets, their serve-yourself meat counters and the meat wrapped to transparent plastic film, housewives take a good look at their steaks before buying. This did grass fed beef to. Fat to grain-finished beef is white; to grabs fed beef, yellow, sometimes slightly greenish yellow. And except to times of shortage or when the butcher doesn’t offer particularly close inspection for the customer, most housewives, it seems, want their beef fat white. Many cattlemen, according to Kerr, think this is foolish and unjustified by taste or texture, but they’re not about to quarrel oo strenuously with the vast body, of American purchasers. Struggle Seen In Legislature On Sunday Law By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Conflicting economic interests have caused many furious battles in Indiana Legislatures, and a new struggle is likely in the 1963 session. It probably will arise in connection with an attempt to repeal the 1905 Sunday closing law, which was unenforced for scores of years until old-line merchants became embroiled with discount houses in Indianapolis, Gary, Hammond, South Bend and Fort Wayne. The upshot has been scores of arrests in Lake and St. Joseph Cpunties and delaying court action in the other areas—Allen and Marion Counties. The struggle pitobaljly will be a great boon to lobbyists on both sides of the issue. These melees involving rival commercial interests have been numerous to the past. * For instance, it was the quaint custom of one lobbyist to foment controversy between the sellers of oleomargarine and butter. He would promote the introduction of bills to prevent the use of oleo in state institutions or to force the use of oleo signs in restaurants using the product. Then the lobbyist would contact the oleo interests and obtain highly-remunera--ttve employment for trying to kill the bills. Other Battles The venal element, however, has not been prominent in other clashes of interests on the legislative floors. There is the chronic conflict between the city slickers and the ruralites over legislative reapportionment, in which the bucolic lawmakers have flouted the Constitution by failing to enforce reapportionment for 40 years, because the farm lawmakers wish to preserve artificially high representation to retain numerous rural prerogatives. An uneasy peace now prevails in the once furious combat between the medical doctors and the chiropractors arising from the r insistence of the medicos to regulate the chiros. During the last session there was the warfare between the bankers and the small loan interests over interest rates and loan limitations.

Typical Church Is Now Complex Plant

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Once upon a time, hot so many years ago, a church was a simple, auditorium - like building used mainly for Sunday worship services. No more. Today’s typical church is a complex physical plant with educational, social and recreational facilities. It functions as a community center as well as a house at worship. It is likely to be to use every day and every evening. One result of this trend is noted by the U.S. Department of Commerce in its monthly review of the building industry. "Construction costs of religious buildings have soared in recent years,” the department says. “The construction cost for many churches today approaches the $500,000 mark. “Some larger churches toclude kitchens, snack bars, craft and game rooms, libraries and rendezvous rooms. Some rendezvous rooms are even equipped with hi-fi, television sets, and radios. Church classrooms may include sewing machines and power saws. Modern lighting, heating and ventilating equipment also contribute to rising costs.” In Installments It is extremely difficult, even in a well-heeled suburban congregation, to raise enough money for such a layout in a single buildingfund campaign. So it is becoming customary to build church plants in installments. The first unit usually, though not always, is the sanctuary. This is the big auditorium’ with altar, pulpit and pews where worship services are conducted. The next step (and in some suburban areas, it may be the first step), is to put up a separate wing or building for Sunday School classrooms. This “education building” quite often also will contain a library, a lounge for small group meetings, and offices for the church staff. Then comes the parish hall. It

includes a spacious room which can be used for meetings, dinners and social events; a kitchen, which is equipped with all of the facilities for mass-productton of meals that you’d find in a firstclass restaurant; and such additional facilities as youth rooms, choir rooms and craft shops as the budget will permit Even BewHng Alleys Lately there has been a growing tendency for large churches to install bowling alleys, basketball courts and other sports tar clitics. A Baptist church in St. Louis recently spent 1750.000 for a three-story building which contains a complete gymnasium and skating rink, plus bowling alleys and ping-pong rooms. A church in Jacksonville, Fla., has a baseball diamond, tennis courts, shuffleboard, a croquet court and a barbecue pit. 4 Many clergymen feel churches are completely justified in building such facilities. They say social and recreational trimmings attract young people (and adults! to the church. There, in the course of time, they may be led into what is presumably still the principal business of a church, namely, the worship of God. This argument apparently is convincing to the great majority of church members who put up, more or less willingly, the money necessary to finance church construction at the current rate of $1 billion a year. Some Are Disturbed ” But some thoughtful ministers and laymen are beginning to ask disturbing questions. They wonder, lor example, whether a suburban congregation needs a bowling alley more than an inner-city mission needs a pastor. Or whether the heavy demands which churches make on their members in their perennial building fund drives may have something to do with their inability to raise more than token sums for church colleges, foreign missions, and overseas relief agencies.
