LETTER

EDITOR

Dear llr: In the Friday, Aug 12, issue of The Dally Banner, an interesting news Item headed "Hot City Council Session.’’ After reading the account of the proceedings, I can believe that it truly was a “Hot" session. However there has been no mention of any increase in the wage for City employes other than firemen and policemen in this session or any other session to my knowledge. Employee working at the Sewage Treatment plant have been forgotten for too long. The citizens of Greencastle are not aware, I am sure, what a low wage, treatment plant employes are paid. At the present time, employes working at the Sewage Treatment Plant with less than a year’s time, receive $290.00 per month. After 6 to 8 months, they are paid $800.00 per month. This figures out to be a little over $89.00 per week. This might do for someone having no family or ether income. What say you, Oreen castle people—you have a $1,000,000 treatment plant in operation, of which you should be very proud, especially when we read in the Indianapolis News about streams and rivers being polluted elsewhere in the State.

MARCH OF EVENTS

DCOSION TO KCALATI VET WAR A MISTAKET

I

OPPOSITION TO MOVE EXPECTED TO GROW

Tho President

Events moving toward a climax

By HENRY CATHCART

Central Press Washington Writer WTASHINOTON—Public opinion polls clearly indidate that W growing numbers of Americans believe that the Johnson administration decision to escalate the war in Viet was a mistake. It is apparent to viewers of the current scene that a number of factors will cause further increases in this opposition ■ 1 ' view in the months ahead. Tntnraxi political feuding in South Viet Nam makes many Americans wonder whether the little country is worth the blood and treasure that is being expended. The cost of the American contribution to tho fighting will mount in the months ahead

—both in lives and money.

The inflationary effects of the American contribution to the fighting are causing serious dislocations in the United States, and this condition, too, bids fair to intensify in the

months ahead.

Congress is coming dose to the time when it must face elections, and many incumbents who want to support Johnson on Viet Nam

as wen as on domestic issues are getting nervous about how their

voters win feel about them.

In other words, events are moving toward a climax in wihch President Johnson’s policies and prestige are on the line. No one Is more aware of these developments than the President and the

men around him.

The President, who has spent his entire adult life in a political atmosphere, is seeking ways to combat the tide running against him. His first requirement is a settlement of the political strife in South Viet Nam and his highest and best-informed advisers

are working on that matter.

Beyond that, it seems that Johnson’s policies are tied Inexorably to the course of the fighting in Viet Nam. He can be expected to do his utmost to turn this liability into a political as-

set.

• a a • UNLIKELY SOURCE OF HUMOR—In Washington, one expects to find fiaahnn of humor in Congress, among the diplomatic corps, occasionally from Cabinet officers and even the White House. But just about the last place to look for a man with a funnybone would be the Bureau of the Budget, that staid agency which acts aa the President’s watchdog on the spending programs of other agencies. However, Budget Director Charles L. Schultze, a professor of economics, is quite, good in the gag department. The other day, he turned his keen, analytical Starting mind to the problem of safety on the nation’s highways, and drew this profound conclusion: "Any mode of transportation, to be safe, must $100 Million! provide means to stop when desired." Having disposed of auto safety, Schultze turned his mind baric to his own area and observed that "Washington is the only place in the world whore point one means $100 million dollars."

Fire Bombs Hit Negro Church PROVIDENCE, R. I. UPI — Three Molotov cocktails were hurled early today through windows of a Negro church which recently opened in a predominantly white neighborhood. A fourth fire bomb exploded harmlessly against the outside wall of the Holy Cross Church of God in Christ. The church was unoccupied at the time and there were no injuries. District Fire Chief Sylvester Shea said four bottles filled with kerosene were set afire and thrown at the stone church shortly after 12:30 a.m. EDT. Firemen quickly extinguished the blaze and damage was described as "relatively slight.” The Rev Clarence Farrow, pastor of the church, said he knew of “no problems" since his 45-member Negro congregation moved into the building on Knight Street in the Federal Hill section five weeks ago. Today’s fire bombing was the first major incident with racial overtones in Providence since policemen were pelted with bottles and rocks in predominantly Negro South Providence two weeks ago.

Sadly missed by wife, children and grandchildren.

IN MEMORY In loving memory of mother, Nannie S. Moore, who passed away August 15, 1965. She who lived valiantly has passed on. Why should we grieve? Why should it break our hearts like this It we believe? Surely she lives more valiantly now Than ever before .... Freed as she is ... to move without Hie weights she bore. Freed for the sweet adventuringa Of Heavenly days. Lightened to go exploring down The Glory ways. What must those first hours have been to her Who loved earth so? How swift, how very swift and glad Her feet must go. She who lived valiantly has passed on. Why should we grieve? Why should it break our hearts like this If we believe? The Family

Says Middlemen Are Profiteering WASHINGTON UPI —Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman is convinced the Federal Trade Commission investigation of soaring food prices will show profiteering by middelmen. Freeman told United Press International in an interview made public Sunday that the fanner is hot responsible for rising prices. But, he said, “somewhere along the line, from the fanner to the consumer, someone is getting more than a reasonable fair share for services rendered." The secretary said the farmer was getting only half-a-cent more than last year for the wheat going into a loaf of bread, while the retail price went up 3 cents. The rest, he said, “went somewhere from the time the wheat left the farm till it reached the consumer.” He *said that “In the last year, and particularly In the last month, a sharp jump In food prices ... in relation to . . . the farm price, has led everyone to feel that someone is profiteering along the line.” Asked what the administration was doing about it, Freeman said he has requested the Federal Trade Commission to investigate “to determine if . . . there is a villain in this chain from the farmer to the consumer. “It seems to me,” he added, “that more than a fair and reasonable markup somewhere along the chain is being asked, and has been asked in the last few months, and we ought to know who that is and where that is and to take corrective action." Freeman expressed confidence that the “force of public opinion” would bring some food prices down after the FTC spotlights that “somewhere, someone has done some profiteering.”

19 Arrested In Grenada, Miss. GRENADA, Miss. UPI — Police arrested 19 persons, including the head of the civil rights movement here, Sunday when Negroes attempted to enter a white church during services. The action appeared to put a damper, at least temporarily, on the movement in this city where tensions boiled to the near riot stage for nearly a week. Despite the lull however, helmeted Mississippi highway patrolmen stodd by to guard against any new outbreaks such as the attack last week by angry whites who bombarded Negro marchers with rocks, bottles and firecrackers. About 100 Negroes, less than half the number usually mustered, marched quietly around the court square Sunday evening. Only about 50 whites watched. The march was led by Alfonso Harris, a Southern Christian Leadership Conference staff member who took over temporarily following the arrest of leader Leon Hall. Harris drew only laughter from whites when during a 10-minute rally at the court square he yelled “You white boys had better shape up or ship out.” Hall and 18 others were arrested when they attempted to enter the First Baptist Church. Ushers refused to allow them to enter and called police when Hall and local Negro leader, Robert Johnson, refused to leave church property.

Livestock Loss Heavy In Flood COLUMBUS, Neb. UPI — Floodwaters along the Platte River and its tributaries continued to recede today, leaving a grim sear of mudswamped homes and flattened bottomland crops. Livestock losses .were heavy, and carcasses of animals blocked bridge approaches near Cedar Rapids, Neb. The weekend flooding across central Nebraska was triggered by Friday night rains which totalled up to 12 inches in some areas. Hundreds of persons were driven from their homes, and the Red Cross cared for 1,500 flood victims in Columbus alone. Some Platte River cities were warned of possible lowlands flooding or dike breaks today. A spokesman for the National Guard however, said all of the 50 to 60 guardsmen who had been working in the Fullerton and Columbus areas had been returned to their regular jobs. Estimates of the damage from the flood ran into the millions of dollars, but there was no loss of human life.

FIRST,

A little inexpensive insurance

■ A home without basic first-aid supplies is in a dangerous position. Accidents can happen at any time. We’ll be glad to suggest an inexpensive assortment of first-aid needs ... gauze, tape, antiseptic, bum ointment, etc. But remember, though first aid can save lives, it’s often important to follow up with a visit to your doctor. Only he is qualified to judge the seriousness of an injury and prescribe proper medical care.
