Problem Crying for Attention
A new federal highway aid bill is m
the final stages of passage by Congress
h id probably will be signed into law
soon bv President Eisenhower.
When this is done there will be
available for spending in Orange Coun-
ty over 10 million dollars in state and
federal funds needed to build the re-
maining 16 miles or so of the new
Superhighway U.S. 90 between theSim-
mons drive curve in Orange and the
K C.S. overpass at Vidor
II work can be started at live earliest
date possible, the whole job. engineers
estimate, can be under contract in two'
to thrqe vears.
Change County needs this highway. .
It also can make good use of the eco-
nomic shot in the arm that would re-
sult. lrom spending the money required
lo build it.
But before construction can begin
a problem of currently mountainous
proportions must be solved. This is the
acquisition of the remainder of tne
necessary rights-of-wav.
As it is presently written, the high-
way aid bill allows the use of federal
funds for buying rights-of-way. How-
ever, it also provides that this can be
done only if it is consistent with state
policy. The Texas Highway Depart-
ment has long required that county gov -
ernments supply rights-of-way for all
state and federal highways and has said
unofficially that this policy will not
—change.

That means the people of Orange
County must furnish all of tiie rights-
of-way needed for the new superhigh-
way. The job of acquiring these tracts
has been going on for seven vears and
still is 147 acres of land short of being
finished.
Moreover, the county also needs to
acquire about 60 acres of additional
rights-of-way needed for over a mil-
lion dollars worth of state roads for
which money already is available and
which may be lost unless arrangements
for securing these tracts are made im-
mediately.
But there is nowhere near enough
money in sight to buy the portions of
this land which we know will have to
be paid for. There is not eye. i any as-
surance that the parts of it which would
be available free of charge under
normal circumstances can now be ac-
quired without cost.
Here is a real problem lor the peo-
ple of this county—a problem, that ap-
pears to demand a solution, perhaps in
the form of a small bond issue—before
We go any further with the new multi-
miilion-doilar road bond program we
have been talking about for the past
several years.

Upon Return to Russia, Red Leaders
Switched Gaze Toward United States
By JAMES MARLOW
\ssociatfd Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (API—One thing showed through the busy
burst of bussing at t ie Moscow airport thj? week when everybody
who is anvhody in Russia kissed Premier Bulganin and Commu-
nist uartv boss’Khrbshchev. „ .
The two Red leaders, returning from Britain like men who
nil affarimn after the cool reception there,
- seem determined to improve uMiuns with the
v west or give a good impression of trying.
.They could have arrived home in a huff. It
wouldn't have been surprising. The British Social-
ists had needled Khrushchev into blowing his top.
And their talks with Prune* Minister Eden were
not. according to reports, overly successful.
Instead, as soon as they alighted from their
plane lhe» gave a friendly nod toward the
British Islea and then turned their full ga«e on
the United State* like two traveling salesmen
getting ready for a new customer and hardly
able to wait.
...._____ if the United Slates and the Soviet Union
both show good will. Khrushchev said, they can make a lot of
progress in developing trade and cultural relations and solving
the disarmament orobleni. ......
These two men. Bulganin and Khrus.ichev, with their trips to
Yugoslavia As a and Britain, have gone to a lot of trouble to make
Russia look like a friendly neighbor on the street of nations.
There is danger of underrating them. It is usual in this countiy
to be suspicious and even scornful of the Russians. The suspicion
is natural since Khrushchev .himself has said communism s atm
lcmair.s the same: to communize the world -
But scorn is out of date. The Russians are no longer oackward.
They arc next to this country in industrial development. They
may pull abieast. And m the past couple of years {ney have shown
initiative and imagination.
What effect they’re having with their new tactics may not
appear for a vear. or five year* or a decade. In this country

loylg Writ**:
It's Herd To Find
Anyone Who Isn't
In Stock Market
By HAL BOYLE
* J4EW YORK (AP)-I met an
interesting fellow the other day.
He wasn’t in the stock market.
You hardly run Into that kind
of perion any more. At least not
in my circle.
Practically everyone l seem to
pieet now is “in the market. ’ So
is his brother. So is his grand-
mother.
Baseball used to be the national
pastime. Today the stock market
is. You play baseball. But nobody
admits he plays the market. It's
not cricket to use that term. You
don't play the market. You are
just “in it.”
In The Market
Who really is in the market?
Well, I know a mechanic who is.
1 know several waiters who are,
1 know several stenographers who
are. A lady who used to come and
help my wife do sewing is. So is
the masseuse my wife visits oc-
casionally when she gets a twinge
in her neckbone.
In fact, it is probably easier to
naihe those of your acquaintance
who aren't in the market than to
list those who are. Wall Street has
become the real Main Street of
America to millions.
Now don’t get me wrong, I have
nothing against the stock market
as an avenue to either security or
wealth. 1 don't regard it a dev-
il's trapTor the unwary, nor do; 1
feel that anyone who investe'un
it is a gambler riding a hanrf wag-
on to Ins own ruin. All I ask
is that those who are getting rich
in it would just d6 so quietly.
But they don’t/lt isn’t enough
that they own stocks. They insist
that you have to get into the mar-
ket. too. Presumably, they feel
that if everyone buys stocks all
-the slocks will go on up and upr.
and we’ll all be rich together.
What a man did with his money
used to be his own secret. Not any
more.
Big Objection
The biggest objection I have to
the stock market is not that l
don't know how to get rich in it
(if 1 did. I would) but that it has
done more to ruin the art of con-
versation than anything aince
television.
The shop talk of the stock mar-
ket, once limited to stock brok-
ers and a limited class of custo-
mers, now is the shop talk of ev-
eryone from bricklayer to banker.
I don't understand the terms.
The care and feeding of the bulls
and bears is of limited interest
to me. I’m npt sure of the dif-
ference between a long-term cap-
ital gain, and an off-tackle smash
with the fullback carrying the
ball. To me a “blue chip" is still
something I toss into the poker
pot only when I'm holding four
queens.

(OSS-THIEF. THIS IS
This, Too, Is Censorship
Governing bodies of political subdi-
\ lsions sometimes make the serious mis-
take of attempting to edit the newspa-
pers reporting their activities.
This is most often done by holding
"closed door sessions or meetings to
which reporters are not invited then
handing to the press prepared “news
releases” about what took place.
No matter what the alleged justifi-
cation for such a thing, it is censorship
of a type not .sanctioned by the Consti-
tution or the principles of democracy.
And more often than not it backfires
on the group which indulges in it.
By custom and bv law the newspa-
pers of America haVe the right to do
their own editing.
Any public agency which denies the
newspapers either the right to gather
or to edit their own news is depriving
bofh the press and the people of a basic
heritage. And it can expect that both
the press and the people will retaliate.
Newspapers welcome the' opinions,
individual or collective, of members of
me governing bodies of political sub-
divisions within their territories. They
also welcome every bit of factual in-
formation that such groups can supply
icgarding their activities. But newspa-
pers do not welcome anything that
smacks of censorship and a public aeen-
ev forgetting or ignoring this is very
likely to find itself on the griddle.

Television-Radio News:
NBC's Revival of Sinclair Lewis
'Dodsworth' Glowed With Freshness
By SAUL PETT
. NEW YORK (API—Tite danger of producing any revival is
that it will s^em like an old museum piece dusted Off for the
bored m.'pecUbn of a later generation. .
In lessor hands, Sinclair Lewis’ “Dodsworth” mighty easily
have appeared a Tittle musty, tired and old hat. After all. the
novel was published'in 1929. It’s an old familiar tale of a middle-
aged man fighting to cling to what, is true and familiar to him and
» wife battling old age so desperately she loses her values and
husband in the, process.
But there were no lesser hands in the Producers' Showcase
version of "Dodsworth'' on NBC the .other night. From top te
bottom it flowed with the talent of old pros and the result was
a rich, surprisingly fresh evening. _ /
The basic, play drawn from Lewis' nov el waisgeotSTby- no
less, a craftsman than the late Sidney Howard. It was adapted ,for
TV bv Da id Shaw and directed by Alex Segal, two of the new
medium's biightest talents. It starred Frederick; Mafch. Claire
Trevor and Geraldine Fitzgerald. Between thenv fhev gave an
adult story an adult treatment. • %•
All the actors were extremely effective but tnfhLA'i?>’•!#*
couldn't keep his eyes off March. I kept wondering, is there any-
thing, any role, any scene, any emotion, this man can't play?
In Bringing to life. big. bluff, spontaneous Sam Dodsworth, re-
tted auto magnate, March covered a broad emotional fi(fld with
vibrant integrity—as an unabashed American tourist jumping
with a small boy's excitement over such attractions as the Tower
of London; as a deeply understanding husband tolerating 'his
wife s phoney sophistication and slackening the marital lines as
she tnes to “find'’ herself; as a man profoundly hurt, trying to
hide his loneliness under a pretense of being drunk or being an-
noyed with petty details: and. finally, as a man who learns, all
over again to be true to himself.
The morning after the,show, I checked the files on Frederic
March and was surprised on two counts. He h«fs been doing mov-
ies and play' for almost 30 years. His day as a leading man go
oack to Greta Garbo and Norma Shearer. He has made more than
60 movies and won only two Oscars—he should have won 20.

Deputy Return* From Search
For Still To Find Tire* Flat
SUMMERVILLE. S. C. (AP) ■
Deputy Sheriff Mark Fowler,
widely known in the moonshine
trade hereabouts as a still sleuth,
tells this one on himself:
Aware that most moonshiners
recognize his automobile, he bor-
rowed one to make a raid. He and
his companion parked it in the
woods, and set off on what turned
out to be a fruitless search. When
they returned they found some-
one had let the afr out of the
tire*. Fowler had to walk three
miles to borrow a pump.
