Kennedy offers another panacea for our
farm ills, but will Congress buy it?
WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Kennedy likes to tell
stories on his cabinet
The new Kennedy farm program
has been presented, and it's sure to
draw fire from several segments of the
farm economy. It probably won't get
too much attention from consumer and
taxpayer groups, even though about six
per cent of our federal government's
income now goes to support the farm
j program.
Actually, of course, President Ken
nedy did not produce me iarm pru&i am
which bears his name. He's tied to it
by our system of government. The pro
gram itself is a product of Secretary of
Agriculture Freeman, a protege of Sen.
Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, and
of the old-lino agriculture economists
In the Department of Agriculture.
The program Is a harsh one. It calls
for reduction of 20 per cent in acre
ages of feed grains; it demands new
controls on dairy production; it calls
for limits on turkey and turkey egg
production, for examples.
The reason, of course, is that the
federal farm support price program is
rot working any belter under the Ken
nedy administration than it did under
President Elsenhower. His program
'Vvas no more successful than that of
President Truman, who made no im
provements on President Roosevelt.
Each president comes up with a
new program. By the time it is through
Congress, however, there's very little
'new" In it. As a result costs of the pro
tram go up and up, farm income re
mains level or drops a little, and no one
Is very happy about It.
The blame for failure of the various
farm proposals must rest primarily with
Congress. And Congress Is basically at
fault because it has failed to recognize
changes on the farm, and economic and
technological changes over the years.
The new program, like the old, is
primarily based upon acreages, as it
concerns most crops. And acreage is a
darned poor way of computing possible
farm production, particularly in grain.
Rows can be planted closer to each
other, more and better fertilizers can
be used, better seed and plant varie
ties are developed. Then, in spite of
acreage limitations, production goes up
fuster than demand, and the problem
continues to grow.
Such problems generally would not
occur on milk production, or example,
where the output basically Is measured
on volume, not the number of acres
devoted to dairy farming. The number
of pounds of turkey meat produced is
a better measure than the number of
acres devoted to their growing. It's far
more effective to count the number of
eggs raised than it is to tell a poultry
man he has to keep his operation in a
certain number of acres. On the acre
age basis, all he has to do is add a sec
ond story to his henhouse, in effect, to
beat the control systems.
Farming is becoming more and
more a business operation. The family
farm, so-called, is on the way out, be
cause of the needs for capital finan
cing, and because of the Inability of the
small, marginal producer to obtain such
financing. A going concern today ties
up about four times as much money in
machinery alone as it did thirty years
ago, for example.
Until Congress Is willing to recog
nize these facts, not much progress is
going to be made, no matter which
President attacks the problem.
If Congress would limit grains, to
bacco, col ton, etc., on the basis of the
number of pounds of the products pro
duced by each farmer, Instead of the
number of acres he's allowed to put
Into production, the program would
have a chance to succeed.
Until Congress is willing to take
that step, nothing much will be accom
plished by "new" farm programs.

WASHINGTON -President
Kennedy, who has a contagious
sense of humor, tells this story on
his Secretary of Labor.
Recently, when Secretary Arth
ur Goldberg went mountain climb
ing, he was gone for some time
and the people at the inn at the
base of the mountain became wor
ried and summoned help from the
Red Cross. The Red Cross flew
around the mountain in a helicop
ter, calling from a loudspeaker:
"Arthur Goldberg, this is the
Red Cross. Arthur Goldberg, this
is the Red Cross.
For a long time there was no
answer. Finally a faint voice re
plied from down below:
'This is Goldberg. I gave
through the office this year."
Snub to a Lady
Jockeying for committee posi
tion in the U.S. Senate may not
mean much to the outsider. But
insiders know it can affect U.S.
policy and laws which the Ameri
can people have to live under.
During five Congresses the late
Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hamp
shire rose to his feet at the open
ing session to announce that he
wished to step aside as ranking
member of the Senate Armed
Services Committee in favor of his
Republican colleague from Massa
chusetts, Leverett Saltonstall.
Inside fact was Saltonstall had
pestered and badgered Bridges
with the argument that since
Bridges was ranking Republican
on both Appropriations and Arm
ed Services, he should rehnquisn
one of these posts to his colleague
from Massachusetts. Bridges did
so.
Now the shoe is on the other
foot and the tall blueblood from
Boston, Lev Saltonstall, is the top
Republican on the same two com
mittees Appropriations and
Armed Services. But so far he
has not been as gallant as he ask
ed the late Senator Bridges to be.
Sen. Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine, also Republican is number
two on the Armed Services Com
mittee. Senator Saltonstall, who
can trace his ancestry back to the
early days of the Pilgrim Fathers,
I prides himself on being a courtly
I man. But he has not done for Mrs.
Smith what he asked Bridges to
I do for him.
Penaliiing a Lady??
Ten years ago, Senator Smith
was a member of the McCarthy
Investigating Committee. Being a
lady ot both courage and principle,
she didn't like McCarthy's ruth
less tactics and said so. Finally
she signed the "Declaration of
Conscience" calling upon fair play
in the investigating methods of the
U.S. Senate.
McCarthy promptly bounced
Mrs. Smith off his Investigating
Committee.
Last week, Senator Smith again
showed courage. She challenged
John McConc as unqualified to be
head of Central Intelligence. Cen
tral Intelligence hitherto has re
ported, intermittently and not
very satisfactorily, to a subcom
mittee of armed services on
which the top two ranking Repub
licans are members.
Mrs. Smith, whether Saltonstall
bows or not, is among the top two
Republicans. But it's reported in
Senate cloakrooms that she will
now be penalized for her opposi
tion and denied a position on the
subcommittee which is supposed
to check on CIA.
Note For a long time some
senators have been demanding a
watchdog committee to scrutinize
CIA, similar to the Joint Atomic
Energy Committee which checks
on the AEC. The Armed Services
Subcommittee is a rather unsatis
factory makeshift until a perma
nent watchdog committee is es-
When is court criticism 'contemptuous'?
The cases of three Maywood, Illi
nois men, convicted of contempt of
'court, raise these complicated ques
tions: "When is public criticism of a
Judge or court 'contemptuous'?" "When
Is it the exercise of the right of citi
zens to speak out about abuses of the
judicial process?"
Last spring, Walter Hathaway, a
.Maywood Village trustee, charged in
a letter to the local newspaper that
the Judge and bailiff of the Village
Court were Improperly engaging in po
litical activity, by deliberately trying
to Influence school board elections.
Three weeks earlier, just prior to these
elections, seven school officials had
been charged with misuse of school
funds. This, said Mr. Hathaway, was
clearly a "maneuver to shake the pub
lic's confidence In lis grade school of
ficials" and thus to ensure defeat of
the slate opposed by the judge of the
Village Court.
Judge Robert E. McAuliffe brand
ed the letter as an attempt to "embar
rass, obstruct and hinder the adminis
tration of justice in a pending case."
Hathaway was subpoenaed, convicted
of contempt of court, and fined. Simi
lar convictions were obtained against
editor Paul D. Coffman, in w hose paper
the letter appeared, and Irving Carl
son, former president of the school
board, who delivered the letter to the
newspaper.
All three men are appealing their
convictions. The Illinois Division of the
American Civil Liberties Union will
support their appeal through a friend
of the court brief. The group's Freedom
of Communications Committee has de
clared that "Judges and courts, as pub
lic institutions, should withstand such
criticism of their actions without resort
to the summary contempt power. On
the premise that in some instances
such charges may be true, citizens
should feel free to make them without
having to fear a contempt prosecution
before the very judge or court against
whom they have made the charge."
The case against the seven school
officials, which had started the con
troversy, was later dismissed for lack
of evidence.

Tax Fraud The Justice De
partment is about to crack down
hard on a prominent New Yorker
for income tax fraud. In figuring
his tax return, he added up travel
and entertainment expenses to $7,
ooo. For good measure, he put a
"one" in front of the seven"
making it 117,000 for travel and
entertainment. Internal Revenue
Service says this case will be pro
secuted not only as a flagrant vio
lation of the law, but as a warn
ing to other taxpayers against
abuses of entertainment and busi
ness expense allowances.

Stormy election
seen for Texas
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI The
stormiest campaign for the gov
ernorship of Texas since 1946 may
put a pinch on those rich poli
tical jxx-kctljooks.
Six Democrats and a Democrat-turned-Republican
arc running,
and they all know the boys who
usually pick up the tabs have
been hit heavily the past two
years.
They dug deep to push Lyndon
B. Johnson for the presidency and
then the vice presidency. Next
came a flock of candidate seeking
Johnson's seat in the Senate. By
the time three recent congres
sional elections arrived, including
the one to fill the late Speaker
Sam Rayburn's place, contribu
tors were beginning to look a bit
weary. Even an oil-lined Texan's
pocketbook has a limit.
Several of the six Democratic
candidates admit the campaign
money isn't there like it used to
be.
Ultra-conservative former Maj.
Gen. Edwin A. Walker may find
himself in the best financial con
dition. Talk is strong that Dallas
multimillionaire H. L. Hunt will
back him. Walker denied this at
a news conference Saturday. If
Hunt backs him, the least of
Walker's worries will be money.
Gov. Price Daniel, seeking an
unprecedented fourth term, used
to hit a gusher anytime ne an
nounced. Now ho is just one of four
moderates seeking the Democratic
nomination and must share the
support.
Former Navy Secretary John
Connally, who handled Johnson's
fund-raising for years, also is in
the running. One of those who
admits the pinch is on is Atty.
Gen. Will Wilson. He and Conal
ly are classed as Ihe moderates
along witli former state Highway
Commissioner Marshall Formby.
Liberal Don Yarborough, a
Houston attorney, hopes to win
labor's endorsement and receive
the rank-and-file contributions.

NEW YORK (LTD A 42-year-old
man who was taken to police
by angry neighbors in a citizens'
arrest was charged with stabbing
