fge 6 Section ,3) &J S iniiiig pf "New Farip Legislation Will Be Vital Campaign Facto? ly OVID A. MAITIN WASHINGTON Wi-Thc timing of new farm legislation ifiay be come an important factor in the major parties' campaigns for the farm vote in the November elec tions. Thus far, the timing would ap pear to favor the Democrats. And there appear to be no signs of a speedup which, some GOP strat egists think, might help the Re publicans, Republicans are pinning their hopes for farmers' votes largely on benefits they say would accrue ' through a soil bank plan. This contemplates that payments up to , $1,200,800,000 would be made this - summer to farmers for talcing un , needed crop land out of produc tion and putting it to soil conser vation uses. Democrats, on the other hand, arc pinning their hopes largely on farmer dissatisfaction with price and income declines under the Eisenhower administration with party promises of higher price supports. The administration's soil bank flan will provide little help to farmers this year unless it can bt sat up before planting time. Farm ers in the South already are plant ing their crops and seeding will get into Mil swing in other parts of the country next month. The Agriculture Department ha3 said that if the soil bank plan is not enacted before April IS, it would be virtually impossible to set it up this year. 300 Expected For Weekend Realty Meet James C. Downs, Jr., Chicago housing and redevelopment co ordinator, senior partner and di rector of the Chicago Title and Trust company, will address a group of more than 300 real cstato brokers at the Marion ho tel Saturday.

North Salem Student Will Visit Europe Dottye Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dcral Jones of 1095 and i North Liberty street and a North Salem high school junior, will be spending this summer in Europe. Dottye received word this week that she has been selected by the American Field Service to reside in Europe this summer, living the entire summer in the home of a European family. As yet she has not been informed as to what country she will visit nor the fam ily with whom she will make her home. Miss Jones, who leaves in June, has grades averaging almost straight A. She is vice president of the Latin club, a member of Garnet Knight Y-tcens, Job's Daughters Bethel 35, the Ski club and Girls' Letter club. A part lime model at Meier and Frank's Salem store, she hopes to study fashions in college. I Last year a number of South Salem" high school students were able to visit Europe under the American Field service plan and several European youths have spent a year in homes and schools in Oregon. The Senate approved the soil fcnnk in a manv-faccted farm hill wftich it passe Monday night. But that bill must he compromised vflth a vastly different jneasure passed by the House last year a thorny and probably lengthy procedure. Then too the Senate bill con tains many features opposed by the' administration. GOP leaders said after a talk with President Agriculture Benson yesterday they do not sec how it can be approved unless drastic changes are made in the Senate-House conference. With Congress planning an Eas ter recess from March 29 until April 9, it could be mid-April be fore conferees settle down to se rious work. Rep. Hope of Kansas, senior Re publican of the House Agriculture Committee, said, "If we can get a bill on the President's desk , by May 1, it may be in time to allow farmers to qualify for soil bank payments although it may be necessary to plow up some wheat already planted." Rep. Hocven (R-Iown) predicted "good compromise," but added; "This legislrtion has been too long delayed, and as a result the soil bonk provisions may not go Into effect this year." Some other GOP strategists says that politically speaking it would bo easier for Eisenhower to veto an unfavorable farm bill after planting lime than before. They soy he would be In position to blame the Democratic-controlled Congress for failing to act in time. es-THE CAPIT. 0 : Guardian Seeks $16,000 in Suit Charging negligence on the part . of the defendant, the guardian o( Barbara Duncan, a minor, has brought suit in Marion county cir cuit court against Fred T.

Case (R-NJ) appealed to his GOP colleagues today to reject a proposed constitutional amend ment that would revise the sys tem of electing presidents and vice presidents. Although 30 Republican senators are listed as sponsors ot ine pro posed amendment, Case contended its "adverse effect on the Repub lican party for the indefinite fu ture cannot be questioned." He also maintained in a mem orandum sent to his fellow Re publicn senators that the proposal would cause what he termed "great and permanent injury to our society and our form of gov ernment and to the American two party system." Senate debate on the legislation got under way yesterday. Almost immediately there were, sharply conflicting interpretations of its possible effect. Party lines were mixed on the question. The proposal would do away with the present "winner-take- all" system under which a state's entire electoral vote goes to the candidate receiving the most popular votes, no matter how slim his margin. The proposed amendment. originally approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, would divide each state's electoral votes for president lnj proportion to the pop ular votes received by the candi date. A substitute amendment, worked out by Senators Daniel (D-Tex) Mundt IR-SD) and Thurmond (D- SC), would let each state decide whether to cast its electoral vote in that manner, or to choose pres idential electors as they now se lect tneir senators and represen tatives in Congress. Put forward as a compromise. the substitute now lists as spon sors 54 senators 30 Republicans and 24 Democrats. Daniel said he thought it had "a good chance" of winning Senate approval. to become effective, a constitu tional amendment must get ap proval of two thirds of those vot- ng in (he Senate and the House, and be ratified by three fourths of the states. m lei rt .si JOURNAL p. ,9 S3 0 cs Sale, Oregon,QVednesdS?y, March ff, 19ft HUtislerCheg tefauver (Si MINNEAPOLIS A crowd of supporters cheers Sen.

UN Emergency ; Session Npars XkcMid-East ( U. S. Delegation Calls . .For Early, Urgent 'Peace Aelion By WILLIAM N. OATIS UNITED, NATIONS, N. Y. If The U. N. Security Council is ex pected to meet in emergency ses sion late this week or early next in answer to a U. S. call for ur gent action on the current Israeli Arab crisis. 1 The U. S. delegation called on the It-nation Security Council for "urgent and early action," th same words President Eisenhow er used in his March 7 news con ference The prospect was raised that U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold might be sent on a new peace mission to the Is raeli area. U. S. Chief Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. reported a build up ot armed forces near the Is raeli borders by both sides. He said shooting incidents were "re curring at a dangerous rate." Border clashes have erupted frequently between Israel and the neighboring Arab states of Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Lodge said the border clashes and armed buildups wore viola tions of lhe"1949 armistice nego tiated with U. N. help. "It is a matter of deep con cern to the government of the United States," he said, "and it therefore requests urgent and early action by the Security Coun cil to consider the situation now prevailing in the Palestine area." Diplomatic informants said the . United States, France and Brit ain want the Security Council to send Hammarskjold back to the area. The secretary general re turned last month from talks with Arab and Israeli leaders and said they had promised to settle dis putes peacefully. But there was no letup to border incidents.
