Thurafay, April 23.1864 ' ON CRUISE THE McflEMftY '^LAINDEALEB THE PHIL KIBBES Last week the Plaindealer carried a picture which a thoughtful public relations man had sent from Florida, listing the couple as Mr. and Mrs. Phil K. Kibbe of Lakemoor, who were enjoying a cruise from tropical Miami to Nassau. Actually, the picture was of relatives of thcKKibbes with whom they were vacationing. This week we have th^ Kibbes themselves, and their happy smiles indicate they were thoroughly enjoying their trip. "A" HONOR ROLL PUPILS LISTED AT ST.

TWO TEACHERS SELECTED FOR SCIENCE STUDY Duane'D. Andreas -90S'tiFr Green and Carl J. Wagner of 1003 N. 4th street, .McHenry, have been selected as two of forty-one junior and senior high school teachers of science and mathematics to participate in the Summer Science Institute at Bradley university from June 29 to Aug. 7. The announcement was made by Dr. A. Wayne McGaughey, director of the program and professor of malehmatics at Bradley. • This institute is sponsored by the National Science foundation and offers courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics. Each of the participants, from across the nation, will study two of the course offerings. One of the many impo responsibilities of a member of Congress is the appointment of young men to attend, our Army, Navy, and Air Force academies. The majority of students in these outstanding institutions results from congressional appointments. As a member of Congress, I am entitled to have four appointments from our 12th Congressional district in each of these academies, at any one time. Ideally, this means that one appointment for each School may be made every year . . . with the result that there could be one student from our 12th district in each of the annual classes at each of these academies. The Military academy at West Point, New York, is the oldest of the service academies. It was founded in 1802, and the "Long Gray Line" of graduates from West Point includes such distinguished names as Grant, Lee, Pershing, Patton, Mac- Arthur and Eisenhower. The beautiful Naval academy at Annapolis, Maryland, was established by the Secretary of the Navy in President Polk's administration. It accommodates the largest number of students --currently having a little over 4,000 midshipmen in its student body. The newest of the service academies is the Air Force academy at Colorado Springs, Colo. This institution, which was established following the recommendation of former President Eisenhower, matriculated its first students in 1955. Located almost a mile above sea level, the Air Force academy has set ah academic, record which challenges the finest institutions in the land, and also provides the best possible training for this age of air and space travel. These young fnen who have the good fortune to enter these academies pay no tuition. They deceive the t^uivalent ofa$40,- 000 education which includes board collegiate training in arts, mathematics and sciences leading to the bachelor of science degree. In addition, they receive expert military training with an allowance of $11.12 a month from which they pay for their uniforms and incidentals. Each academy offers broadening experiences outside its regular curriculum on campus. Education for leadership is stressed, as graduates are expected to assume responsibility of vital importance to national security. The Navy midshipmen get a rigorous training under sail on some of the best known boats in ocean racing circles. They participate in extensive summer FOR THAT OLD FASHIONED FLAVOR COME TO WILLI KOEWIMANN • 22 VARIETIES OF SAUSAGES • TRUE GERMAN PTYLE FLAVORS • LEAN HICKORY SMOKED BACON • DELICIOUS HICKORY SMOKED • COUNTRY MADE SAUSAGES liAMS Phone 385-6230 Route 120 -- Just East of Route 12 -- Volo, I1L 1 TIRE FREE with purchase of 3 Tires '0 Vi Price On All Passenger Car Tires that we have in stock, Whitewalls or Blackwalls All lotteries 95 as low as *12 WALT FREUND, Prop. 3931 W.

The West Point and Air Force cadets supplement their leadership training by visiting combat units of the United States and our allies in military installations during the summer months. All applicants for the rigorous and demanding life at the service academies are tested thoroughly prior to admission. Much preliminary screening and testing is carried on, with my congressional office in Washington cooperating in the process. This requires the most careful attention in order to do justice to each of the applicants, with fair and equal treatment accorded to all. Thus, the boys finally nominated will be a source of pride to our 12th district as well as fully eligible for admission. Under the rules, each member of .Congress may nominate six applicants for each appointment to be made. Accordingly, about Jan. 1, 1965, I will nominate six young men for the Air Force academy, for the Naval academy, and for the Military academy at West Point. Each of the six nominees will compete against the five others in his group, with the result that the nominee with the highest score in each group becomes the appointee to the respective academy. It should be added that other sources of academy appointments aside from the congressional appointments include the presidential, vice-presidential, sons of deceased veterans, son£ of Congressional Medal o0 Honor winners, and qualified alternate candidates. It is ex4 pected that some of our 12th district young meen wijl qaul^ ify for appointment from these, other categories. ' 1 An unfortunate and yet inescapable characteristic of bigf government is duplication, of effort. Duplication is particularly prevalent and especially wasteful in the field of re-. search. Total research costs of our Jederal government are estimated at more than $14 billion, or approximately 15 percent of the total national budget. In connection with hearings being conducted by the House Subcommittee on Natural Resources studying water pollution, some startling evidences of duplication have come to my attention. For instance, a re? port outlining 23 research projects planned by the Public Health Service disclosed that all of the projects listed being investigated by other agencies; one of the projects being the subject of research by eight other agencies or departments. The most extravagant duplications in research are undoubtedly occurring in the areas of space and defense, which account for the major part of the total research budget. The Elliott committee, named after Rep. Carl Elliott of Alabama (who sponsored creation of the committee), has received much testimony during recent months pointing to existing deficiencies and suggesting means for better correlation and coordination of federal research programs. However, the first progress report of the committee issued recently indicates that a much more detailed job must be done if any substantial reduction in research duplication is to be accomplished. The budget message delivered to the Congress last month showed that water pollution research is being carried on by 8 different departments and agencies of this federal government, with a total annual budget of almost $75 million. It Is to be expected that many more millions for water research are contained elsewhere in this complicated and complex budget of almost $98 billion. Scientific research is not the only area where duplication exists. In a recent hearing conducted by the Subcommittee on Legal and Monetary Affairs on which I serve, representatives of the office of the comptroller of the Currency and of the Securities and Exchange Commission were vying for control of investments made for private pension plans. Our subcommittee issued a report recommending an amendment to the statue to eliminate any question of this duplication of control by exempting the trust funds in question from the; Federal Securities Law.

But it appears that the Senate will kill the bill. An obvious explanation of this result is that the separate federal departments have applied pressures on members of the Senate in order to continue their independent ownership and control of this expensive equipment. P r e s i d e n t J o h n s o n ' s a n nounced. aims of economy and frugality would receive a surprising impetus if he would "take off the gloves and knock some department heads together" to end duplications of effort and activity. In addition, the President and the Congress should adopt a policy to guard against new duplications arising at the federal level. The Bureau of the Budget and the Office of Science and Technology, both of which serve directly under the President, htive exerted tremendous influence in producing some semblance of departmental liaison. But the task is a most difficult and stubborn one. Lack of communication between departments in the great sprawl of our federal government is one cause of duplication which can and should be solved. Departmental pride and jealousy, as well as personal pettiness, should not be countenanced where the result is duplication of activity and waste of the taxpayers' money. The few examples which have come to the immediate attention of your Representative in Congress must be considered as mere instances of a myriad of duplication and overlapping of functions in our federal government. Unless the Executive department is able to make substantial improvements, the Congress should again act as it did several years ago by establishing a new "Hoover Commission" to reduce duplication, waste and inefficiency in our Federal government. My colleague, Rep. Walter Riehlman of New York, and I have introduced bills in this Congress to carry out this aim. I . . . . PLANTING SEASON Spring is the season when most persons landscape their gardens or add new trees, shrubs, evergreens or perennials to their established landscape plantings. William T. Larkin, superintendent of the Division of Plant Industry, offers all purchasers of nursery stock to (1) demand a certification for all nursery stock they buy, or make sure the plant is tagged as state inspected; (2) make sure that plants have not dried out because of improper storage; (3) patronize a local nurseryman because plants that do well in his nursery are adapted to that locality and a load nurseryman can give better service than one located at a distance. Referringf particularly to rose bushes, Larkin sulci that much of "this stock now on the market bears sprouts that range from one to 10 or 12 inches in length." These sprouts have appeared due to improper storage conditloijUB. The longer the sprouts, the poorer the plant, he indicated. ( ; • j.
