Watergate, now being carefully swept under the Republican rug, brings back politics-as-usual to the paper plantation of Maine.

One thing is perfectly clear about Mabie people:- They are easily mentally hooked by parroted catch-phrases like ffiWIN THIS TIME.

Such tripe is the sales technique of Madison A venue type Pro-fesslonai Liars like on the Boob-Tube. ·

The politicians know that Maine people are suckers for the tr-lulique of the BIG LIE:- Which is to tell a lie so big, and

it so often, that it becomes accepted as the truth. Yow the .truth is that no candidate now running for Governor of Maine is worth a "Tinkers Continental" either morally or

mentally in terms of fitness to lead one million Maine people.

bill cohen FROM CONGRESS

Presid;;t Gerald Ford began his incumbency by asserting that "Our great national nightmare is over. " The rr.ood in Wash­ington confirms that assertion.

After more than a year of virtual preoccupation with Water­gate, both the executive and legislative branches seem to be mo­ving purposefully and constructively to combat other national problems.

PresnmablyMr. Ford would not have offered the Vice Presi­dency to someone with the capacity and the energy of Mr. Rocke­feller unless he had major policy responsibilities in mind for his Vice President Mr. Rockefeller's fore ign policy and adm inistra­tive experie nce make him well qua lified to take a leadership role in whatever areas the Pres ident chooses to use him.

Although he gave extended consideration to the choice of a Vice Presidential nominee, President Ford has been very ac­tive in other areas . He has devoted special attention to pro­blems of the national economy, particularly inflation.

T he President has indicated his seriousness about fighting in­flation by calling a major economic policy conference fo r the early fall, speaking out against inflationary price increases by major auto manufacturere, and insisting that he will veto inflationary legislation voted by the Congress.

Happily, the Congress has also shown itself prepared to tackle inflation. This was demonstrated twice in the past week alone.

By a margin of 257 to 155, the House voted to reduce by nearly half the spending authorization for a six-year Federal mass transit bill, This could mean as much as a !ji9 billion reduction in inflationary Federal s pending.

Voting to pare the mass transit appropriation was extremely difficult. I view mass trans it as a high priority item in planning for our nation's future. But at this particular time, I believe it is essential to support President Ford in his effort to curb inflation and demonstrate with deeds as well as words that Con­gress and the President are united in our goals for America.

The funding for many other important programs may also have to be reduced in the days ahead, The process will be painful, I am sure, but it will be necessary if we aro to control infla­tion. We can no longer regard any program as sacrosanct. That includes military appropriations as President Ford recently stated.

In other action, both the House and Senate voted speedily to

BILL COHEN Contid from Page 5

establish the Cost of Living Council President Ford had pro­posed in his first address to the Congress.

The President had requested such an agency to monitor wages and prices-- without reinstating mandatory controls -- and al­so to encourage greater restraint on the part of labor and busi­ness organizations that might be contemplating inflationary de­mands.

Congress responded quickly to the President's request, with the alacrity typical of the new Washington mood that I referred to earlier.

I only hope that this mood will spread to the rest of the nation in the days ahead, ~.s we gird ourselves for a major assault on inflation and the other problems awaiting our attention. RED TAPE STILL STUCK

This week I cosponsored a bill designed to ease the burden of Federal paperwork, which currently costs the government, pri­vate businesses, and individual citizens an estimated $36 billion per yea_r.

The bill would establish a Federal Paperwork Commission to study the more than 5, 000 Federal forms that private citizens r:'.ust now complete, with the goal of seeking ?Teas where the load can be reduced, I am absolutely convinced that an impar­tial commission will find scores of reporting requirements that serve no necessary purpose.

Some readers may remember a paperwork-relief bill that I cosponsored ear Her. Unfortunately, that bill got bogged down in committee, and its chances of coming to a vote on the House floor are now fairly slim.

But since this is a problem of such importance to our small businessmen -- who must spend valuable hours away from their businesses shuffling papers to and from Washington -- I have J:e_,un to work for this bill as an alternative.

REPORT FROM

CAPITOL HltL

BY SENATOR WILLIAM 0. HATHAWI>Y

Recent rains .have done .much to allay the fears of American farmers, consumers and the government with respect to pro­spects for this year's grain crop. Persistent drought conditions during the first half of the growing season had raised consid­erable anxiety. Significant losses were sustained, but it is clear that we will definitely not be confronted with shortages of critical proportions. ·

It is now predicted that total wheat production will top last year's le.vel. Anticipating a reduction in the V0l11me of export:;, we can expect reasonably stable market conditions. And it ap­pears certain that the unhappy prospect of dollar-per-loaf bread will not be fulfilled.

Crops of rice and dry edible beans, major crops for human consumption, now are expected to exceed last year's levels.

Soybean production will be down fTom 1, 567 million bushels last year to about 1, 314 million, indicating a tight situation domestically and for our important expert markets.

Hardest hit will be industry and farmers dependent upon feed­grains, The corn crop, it is now estimated, will be 10 to 15% short of last year and feed-grain supply will reflect this .short­age, which will very likely lead to higher prices for beef and poultry.

The U.s. D apartment of Agriculture and the leading farmers' organizations agree that domestlc consumers will not expedence shortages of food supplies. However, we will be lRrd pressed to meet the requirements of our established and highly depende· foreign markets. '--"'

This will be reflected in some deterioration of our balance-of­payments situation, and, it must be noted, spell hardship for some people abroad.

Agriculture, it must be said, is what this nation does best. American farmers provide the abundance of food- stuffs which has made us the bestfedpeople in the world and provides a sur­plus upon which millions of people in foreign countries depend to survive.

I am pleased that we have largely abandoned the unreallstlc federal · policy of restricting acreage. World demand assures markets for all we can produce. The American farmer should be encouraged to ).' l'oduce, and be assumed a fair return for his efforts which contribute materially to the physical and economic well- being qf this nation. HOUSING

The housing industry continues to bear an inequitable burden as a result of current inflation. Each effort to contain the in­flationary cycle has tended to further depress the home-buy it: g marketljl)lace.

The Federal Reserve Board, by increasing the rates it charges member banks to borrow money, has forced these institutions to pass the increased costs on to the borrowing public.

The housing market, dependent as it is on long-term credit, is both first to feel the effects of a "tight money" policy and last to recover.

The social consequences of a slowdown in housing construction ru1d turnover are often overlooked, but they are enormous. Millions of Americans are being deprived the opportunity to purchase homes.

Many thousands of men and women are being han4icappec terms of professional advancement; unable to sell their ho~ and relocate elsewhere to accept better jobs • ...., ________________________ .., Cont'd on Page i
