in the forks of the creeks went off to war

exodus there began developing in Texas
a new er# h* politics in which the axiom
haa been changed to read:
"Wait'U you hear from the boys in the
asphalt jungles." .
Most of these boyi (as well as the
women to whom they are married and
who vote pretty much as they do) are only
one generation removed from the forks of
the creeks '• .
But their political attitudes are as dif-
ferent from thoae of their father and
mothers as their way of life i« different
from the way of life dowp on the farm.

Can a municipal government in a rap-
idly growing eity provide the capital im-
provement needed by it people without
issuing tax bonds? " ,
The city government of Orange, by
direction of its taxpaying voters, is having
to eck out an affirmative answer to that
question. And the result of this search ahd situation.

Appeal on Behalf of Drainage Supervisors
By J. CULLEN BROWNING
This is.ar appeal to all readers of The Leader whi
" bein
on behalf of five leading cltfeans of Orange County
who have just undertaken one of the moat difficult
Jot * ever assigned to a public body. her*.
These people' are Martin K. Thomen Sr and
George Colburn of Orange. Ben Brlggs of Bridge
City. Bay Face of Vidor, and Horace Peveto of
the McLewu-Mauricevilfe afea.
- They make up ,the Board of Supervisors of the
Orange County Conservation and Reclamation Dis-
trict. They were elected to this board by the county's
voters.. . „ .
They fcavi no connection wltí the county govern-
ment except In these ways:
I If'llu Board of Superviibra requests an
election on a tax. rate to support a drainage pro-
gram it will be- called by the county judge.
"J If the taxpaying voters approve^such a tax
rata It will be levied and collected by the county
tax assessor-collector against valuations on the
county tax roll . ,
8. The county government, along with alt other
agí-rvcie 4nd interests in the county involved with
drainage, will be consulted in setting up a drain-
age plan But the drainage district's Board of Sii-
perviwrs will hav, complete control over its poll, Vrici"willMt haCTto'uaí¿y of"iü iiiiitad'hmds
cita, functions and spending. y- ^ "
Our readers need to keep these facta la mind
It ia completely contrary to all philo- ... .
Sophie of municipal government to SUg- objectives is considered naive
eat thai a city can go Indefinitely without THE russians never go lato any iñternstion-
Ktf|Bi|| - - al .meeting unprepared. They always go knowing ex-
actly wh«t they ars .after aad how they , will go
about getting it. In other words, they aijvsys do
their homework before they go visiting.
"tyus when Khrushchev came to America for his
frieridly visit with former President Eisenhower,
he brought with him a carefully prepared Com*
mumst olan for "general and completa disarma-
ment" which he presented to the United Nations.
This subsequently became a principal objective
of Communist propaganda arid is still Russia's No.
.1 peace slogan.
There is much (peculation on what the Russian
teader may try to spring. This Is part of the gen-
eral preparedness for the Geneva meeting.
One of the "most frequently made guesses is that
If Khrushchev if feeling confident and cocky, wer
Commun^t successes In Cuba and Laos ard Rus-
sia's achievement in putting a man into space
first, he may feel that this is the time to bring
forward again his plan for a separate peace treaty
with. East Germany, making all of Berlin a free
city.
, Such an ultimatum would of course force. Ken-
nedy to repeal with new emphasis the stand that
he and Secretary of State Dea Rusk have made,
to back up the securityand aafety of the people
of Berlin and to protect all,American and Allied
rights In that city. '
So If the Russian leader unveils this or some
other grandiose plan for World peace at Vienna.
it should conie as no surprise. And the American
delegation must have some definite Kennedy doc-
trine of its own to advance aad beat it^s,.
. THERE IS, OF COURSE, a definite desire not
to build up world hojpef that a lot Of; the-major,
interrational problems involving the interests of
many other countries will be settled pt Vienna.
That"C6üT3n't be dene .in two days, or two years.
But the bilateral relations between the U.S and
the U.S.S.R alone are considered here as relatively
insignificant, faere is .little trade between the two
countries, though the -Russians would like more.
American-Russian diplomatic and cultural rela-
tions are more a matter of form than of substance.
These relations alone could be broken without loss
to either country.

need might'develop while this program Is
carried out.
la setting out to fulfill the assignment given to
them by the Orange County'Drainage Committee,
the district's Board of Supervisors is taking a very
logical course.
jts members will meet with Commissioners
Court, with heads of all five of our city govern-
ments, with other agencies involved In drainage!
and with representative cititens from throughout the
county. .
During these tnteryiewa the supervisees will cat
a thorough briefing an what others think should be
Included la their pay-aa-yeu-ge dralaage program.
The board then will decida which projects it
believes should be Included in the plan rind will
take these back to-the countywlde drainage com-,
mittefc for approval.
If the committee enactions the plan Its members
wilt be arked to organise a grass-roots campaign
to sell^iC to a majority of the taxpaying' voters.
TTi^'also will be asked to raise the money to
finance this campaign so that the drainage dis-
tar that purpose.
and to remember that the district' present organ 1-
tation bears no resemblanoe le the one It had
back ia the days when It fat a bad reputation.
Its policies and Its approach to the drainage
'problem also are entirely different from thos* of
the former board.
What complicates American-Russian relations is
the tact that the same men who run the Moscow
government are also the general staff of the world
Communist revolutionary movement.
Á This Is where the real conflict between the United
States and Russia arises. And if the leaders of
these two most powerful nations on earth don't
talk about the ,eold war issues involving-Cuba or
Laos or the Congo, why,they haver.'^t much to dis-
;cuss. ^ '
la a further and fuller report to the natioa, now
being considered before he leaves for Europe, Ken-
nedy is expected to tell the American1 people more
about why he is meeting Khrushchev aow, and
what he expects to get out of it.
"At the beginning of his administration, Kennedy
declared that he would rely more on traditional
diplpmacy than On personal contacts for the con-
duct of his foreign policy.
THIS IS A CHANGE OF DIRECTION that needs

leaders and American presidenta have ended dis-

A warning from J. Edgar Hoover; of FBI:
"There exists today In our land a vital 'rift' which
the communists are exploiting. Unfortunately, this
.Involves certsin people scrosf the country who en-
gsge in reckless chsrges against one another. The
label of 'communist' is too often indiscriminately
attached to thost whose vlewsjJiffer from the ms-
Jority. Those whose Iívm are not lad according
to what ohe segment of society might decree to be
the 'norm' are too frequently challenged as 'Reds.'
Attributing every adversity to communiam ia not
only irrstionsl, but contributes to hysteria and tas-
ters groundless fears."
Currently some of our British brethren view very
critically the course of U.S. fbreign action, particu-
larly as it affects the general situation In Southeast
Asia.

minded" insistence on s hard liae; against Com-
munist maneuvering In that region. They suggest

themselves ia protective neutralism.
In support of this notion, one British writer even
saya that we miaunderstand Communist leaders if
we imagine they are aa evil in intent and method
as the Nazi Germans.
Certainly the British have no monopoly on
criticism of present.American foreign policy. We
are gettir.« plenty of that right, here, from highly
refxinsible sources.

irksome, since its tone appears to indicate a belief
