NATIONAL WINDOW OPINION

In May, 1963, the meat ration was cut from 17.5 ounces per ' month per person to 3.5 ounces, ERS said.

ERS said North Viet Nam started collectivizing its farms in 1953 and completed it in 1956. But the new farms that were parceled out were too small to be worked economical-

By Lyle C. Wilson

There is one road only toward political salvation for the unaffiliated little fellow and his folks who live in a small town or on a family size farm far removed from the complex centers of urban civilization. This road leads to amendment of the U. S. Constitution to give the country folk an honest count in the election of a president of the United States or it lies in judicial remedy. The present system is rigged like a crooked carnival wheel. The system is rigged against rural and small - town citizens and in favor of the city slickers. These city citizens are organized and affiliated by race, color, religion and occupation. By the millions they coalesce into cliques, groups and blocsintellectual racial, religious or economic. They comprise the pressure groups which are coming to control the major political parties and to dominate na-

tional elections.

By political chance, these pressure groups comprise the | experimenters, the liberals, the ;

excess votes in that presidential election. If New York’s congressional districts are representative of its population, the use of the general ticket for presidential electors is surely unrepresentative.

Buckson argued that the general ticket system was the so;e source of extreme distortion between New Yorkers and Delawarians and added: "It is extremely unfair and unjust to us.‘”

It is proposed that each congressional distriot elect one presidential elector and that two in each state be elected at large. The one-man-one-vote rule seems to be absolutely controlling.

Order Models

WASHINGTON UPI — The Pentagon has placed an order for 431 production models of the controversial TFX fighter plane, even though the plane's tests are still in progress. The contract for the plane — now known as the Fill — is expected to total more than $1.5 billion. Details are still being worked out with the Fort Worth, Tex., division of General Dynamics Corp. But $45 mil- j lion is being allocated to get production rolling.
