Cause ef the .blaze was not determined. Amending Hatch Act Part of the Hatch act to prevent pernicious politi cal activities appears about to go by the boards with no fanfare and little or no complaint. The House has approved without debate or roll call a bill amending the Hatch act by removing the section which prohibits political activity on the part of state or local agency employees whose employment is with an activity "financed in whole or in part by the federal government." The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. W1 HEN PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT signed the or iginal Hatch Act on that Congress consider the possibility of extending to "state and local government emloyees who partici pate actively in federal elections" the prohibitions it imposed against "pernicious political activities" by federal officeholders. Passage of the act had been aided by a report of the Senate Campaign Expenditures committee. This averred that in the 1938 campaign there had been "in several states (Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois) unjustifiable politi cal activity in connection with the work of the Works Progress Administration." In the first relief bill of 1939, officials paid from relief funds were prohibited from using their "offi cial authority or influence for the purpose of interfer ing with an election or affecting the results .thereof ." President Rooosevelt gave his "hearty endorsement" to this provision. pONGRESS IN 1940 enlarged the Hatch act to ap- ply 'to state and local employees paid with feder al funds the political-activity rules governing the federal civil service. Any such employee violating the law was to be. discharged and not rehired for at least 18 months. An agency which failed to discharge such an em ployee upon order of the Civil Service Commission would have deducted from its federal grant- an amount equivalent to twice the employee's annual sal ary. Employees charged with violations could appeal to federal courts. THE HOUSE COMMITTEE on administration now contends that "while at the time of its enactment there may well have been a need for legislation of this type, that need has ceased to exist." It points out that most states have laws tivity of office holders. Moreover, because of "the enforcement proceedings . . . have been limited to action on complaints." Many of these complaints appear to be motivated by spite or personal antagon ism." The CSC reports that in the life of the 1940 amend' ment through June 30, complaints, of which 601 have been disposed of. Very. few cases reach the removal stage. " .";': POR EXAMPLE, Of 25 complaints received in fiscal 1954, and 751 on hand at the beginning of that year, 71 were disposed of, but only three removals were ordered. No compilation of funds-withholding orders is available, but a CSC spokesman said on Jan. 19 that such orders have Ironically, the House out the restraints of the Hatch act on state officehold ers as the Senate was about to take up a measure to revise and strengthen the Federal Corrupt Practices act. E. K. K. Protestant Clergy Visit Russia v Eight Protestant clergymen, representing the Na tional Council of Churches, are to leave tomorrow for a brief trip to the Soviet Union. A group of Orthodox leaders Irom Russia is to come to this country m June, in an exchange of visits which the National Council of Churches calls a step toward "mutual understanding" and just and durable peace. The Soviet government the visits it is showing again that religious tolerance obtains in Russia. Last year a number of American and British clergymen were welcomed in the USSR. Fewer religious leaders have been imprisoned of late behind the Iron Curtain than when Stalin lived, -and some of those then incarcerated have been given am nesty. , pOMMUNIST PARTY head Nikita S.

The technique was thoroughly tested in lengthy experiments at the firm's Trentwood, Wash., plant the company said. It builds the color in the very metal it self rather than using dye methods previously used. The color is brought out by anodizing under readily control led conditions, offering shades varying from pale straw to deep geld and gold bronze tones.

Kaiser said previous methods of producing gold colored alum' inum have lacked uniformity of shade from sheet to sheet and tended to fade badly when ex posed to the sun and the ele ments. The new product is especial ly suited for a wide range of exterior architectural applica: tions, automotive trim, furniture and home appliances. The city limits of London encompass about one-third as much area as New York City and about one-half as much as taken by the city of Chicago. Today and . By Walter What Is the Farm Problem? In a preceding article, I dis cussed the fallacy of supposing that the problem of the farm surpluses can be solved in any- serious measure by dumping sur pluses abroad. We are left with the task o f managing the farm prob lem at home. Needless to Walter Lippmann say, I do not know how to solve the farm problem. I know just enough about it, however, to be reasonably certain that no solu tion of the . problem is now in sight, and that the best we can hope for from the measures be ing debated in Congress is that the aggrieved farmers will get some degree of temporary re lief. It cannot do any harm, and it might possibly lead to some thing useful, to ask ourselves as if we had just arrived from Mars what it is that - we are trying to do. It transpires, I be lieve, that we do not usually, if ever, say directly what it is that we are trying to do. . . What we are trying to do is to provide the farm population with incomes which keep pace with the incomes of the indus trial population. It is now an accepted rule, which no public man disputes, that the income of farmers must not stand still, much less may it fall, in relation to industrial income. That is the meaning of what is called par ity. Now the fact is that during this century at least since World War I farmers' incomes if left to themselves have tended to fall away from parity. To prevent this falling away from parity is the object of all the farm plans. They are at bottom of two kinds. One is to restore parity directly, the other is to restore it indirectly. HPHE direct -way would be to vote the farmers a federal subsidy to cover the deficit be tween the income they earn and the income which under the principal of partiy they ought to receive. A direct subsidy system would work out something like this. In the case of cotton, for ex ample where there is one of our largest and most stubborn surpluses total market require ments, , both . domestic ana tor- eign, would be estimated for the crop year. Farmers would be assigned production quotas in terms of bales. Cotton would be -sold at market prices and would no longer be supported at non-competitive levels. Sub sidies would be paid directly to the farmer to make up the dif ference between the price he sells his cotton for and the amount he should receive to maintain his income in parity with the economy as a whole Production limitations would be compulsory for those farmers who elect to receive the subsidy This system would have many advantages over the present sys tem, At prices which are com petitive and meet the actual con ditions of supply and demand, cotton sales could probably be increased. In any event they would not pile up in unused sur pluses which are not only waste ful but by their very existence exert a depressing influence on cotton prices and markets. The cost of the subsidy to the gov ernment and the taxpayer would probably be lower through the elimination of storage and insur ance costs and a reduction in administrative expenses. And fi nally, what is perhaps most im portant, the long-run adjustment of production and consumption would be improved. For such a subsidy system would rely on market prices to allocate the farmers' productive efforts more realistically. TUT the fact is, of course, that -D almost all farm plans rely on indirect devices for covering tne deficits from parity. They use federal monev and the federal regulating power to manipulate supply and demand in a rigidly protected domestic market; the aim of the manipulation is to creat artificially high prices which will bring farmers' in comes ud to canty. Neither method is easy to ad minister in our kind of free so ciety. For both involve massive interference by the government in the affairs of the farmer. The direct method, that of outright payments to supplement in comes, might well be the easier and cheaper to administer. Yet almost certainly it would De more unnoDular. For it reveals quite badly the fact; that the op eration is at bottom a subsidy by the nation to a .part of the nation. Our people do not like to pay or to be paid tneir suosiaies oDenlv. Thev prefer, having be come used to them, the indirect forms of subsidy. Of these the tariff is the biggest example of all though not the only one. Practically all the farm plans are devices, like the tariff, for replacing the free and open mar ket with an artificial market. Tomorrow Lippmann IT SEEMS to me that if the di rppt method is the easier to work effectively, we should not be too squeamish about recog nizing openly the fact that it is national policy to subsidize agri culture. There is nothing to be ashamed of about that. The maintenance of a contented agri cultural population is a national interest of the first order. That agriculture requires pro tection and help is a fact, which cannot be doubted, and there fore it would be mere political prudery to try to hide the. real ity which is that agriculture must be a protected and sub sidized occupation. Copyright 1956. New York Herald Tribune Syndicate, Inc. New 'Soft' Policy of Communism Soon To Get First Test By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent The' new "soft" policy of Communist infiltration in West ern European countries is about to undergo its first test.' This- new policy was laid down at the re cent 20th Com munist Party C o n g ress in Moscow. It calls upon Communist Charles McCann parties : in for eign countries to work with the Socialists and other left wing groups in Parliament instead of resorting to violence. The first test of the policy is coming up in Italy, which has the biggest Communist party about 2,500,000 members in Western Europe. Italiian Communist party lead er Palmirq Togliatti returned to Rome Tuesday from the Moscow Congress to find himself faced by a revolt of a strong Red fac tion which believes in being tough. ..... Million Members The Rebels, somewhat opti mistically, perhaps, claim to rep resent about 1,000,000 . party members. - - , Possibly they didn't read the newspaper accounts of the Mos cow proceedings, in any event, they issued a manifesto attack ing Togliatti and other party leaders and demanding a. return to the "revolutionary line." It will be interesting to see whether Togliatti can restore party discipline. If he can't, he will be in trouble, and so will Moscow. Toglaitti himself endorsed the new line enthusiastically in an interview with the United Press in Moscow, . He . probably was pained to find out that the "hot heads in his own party wanted no part of it. Doesn't Look Like Red Togliatti . doesn't look like a Red. Spectacled, intellectual always carefully dressed, an art lover, he could pass for a "rep resentative member of the upper middle class. ; . But he has been called the most successful Communist lead er' in Western : Europe. He is a master politician and he has the great quality of patience. He succeeded in building up the Italian Communist party until in the 1948 elections, it came perilously near to taking over the country. , . Porcupine Meat Said Delicacy San Francisco (U.R) A forester claimed today porcupine meat can be prepared in a va riety of highly palatable dishes but he admitted he hasn't tried any himself. E. L. Kolbe, chief forester of the Western Pine Association, discussed the desirability of add ing porcupines to the family diet in a talk at the association's 25th annual meeting. He said the association in stituted a desperate search for porcupine recipes last year. "We had to do something," Kolbe said. "The porcupine pop ulation has mysteriously grown way out of balance: Porcupines cause millions of dollars worth of damage every year by feed ing on young trees. "This could affect the eco nomic welfare of entire commu nities. The situation is so serious that the industry is sponsoring special schools teaching how to protect growing timber from the animals. Kolbe said most persons recommended using heavy leath er gloves for cleaning and skin ning the animal. Then they sug gested par-boiling the meat for a few miriutes in a salt or salt and vinegar solution. After that it can be cooked or fried much the same as rabbit or chicken both of which it resembles in flavor. Sault Ste Marie navigation locks were opened in 1855.

So I swept a small plot clear of snow and put about a half of a lug box of . partiy spoiled squash and pumpkins there. In an hour's time the ground was covered with robins, fluttering and fighting to eat on the vegetables. t Even during the hardest snow showers . they were there. The ground seeming to pulse and move with brown backs. Our three fruit trees were alive with red breasts, so they looked like leafless apple trees covered with red apples, as tne birds sat and rested' after eating their fill. All day long hundreds and hundreds of robins came and went. Do you suppose it was the same flock after having eaten their bread they came here and ate their vegetables? Incidentally, other birds were there 1 too. Sparrows of course, red winged black birds, western thrush, flickers, black headed snow birds and a few quail with top knots quivering . in the snowy air. Mrs. G. F. Putman, 339 North "C" st. Eagle Point, Ore. She's Not Convinced To the Editor: In reply to your answers to my March 2 commun ication, I'd like to say that your answers were very well put and seemed quite logical. However I would like to point out a few things, especially what seems to be a contradiction concerning your answers. (1.) In reference to answers 1, 3 and 6 Answer 1 states that fluoridation is harmless to everyr one and in number 3 you ask if a minority has a right to pre vent a majority from a benefit when the minority would in' no way be harmed? However in answer 6 you state that about 10 wiU develop fluorosis. This seems contradictory to answers 1 and 3. So to your question I'd say, . Yes, a" minority has a right to object since they could be harmed. (2.) Then I'd like to point out to your reference to fluorosis, and the mere shrug of the shoul ders attitude that it is practically nothing. Iave seen actual pic tures of mottled teeth! These pic tures show permanent, ugly, un removable dark stains on the tooth enamel. This we see out wardly. Inwardly, as stressed by some trained and well informed men, there s possible damage to the hones, kidneys, heart and other organs that may .not be detected for as long as 20 years or more. (3.) Another- the opposition was likened to a microscopic. one-physician-says thing. , (Inci dentally I'm sure that everyone associated with those organiza tions mentioned are not in com plete accord.) Such thinking as you've indicated is much the same as in the times of Jesus Christ, Martin Luther,- Colum bus, Abraham Lincoln and many other great individuals who dared to step out of line with the majority. One other thing I'd like to bring out although it hasn't anything to do with your state ments. Some years ago, you may remember, certain ones proposed to put iodine in public water supplies in areas where iodine was lacking but it was found harmful to some people so to help those people who needed iodine, it was put in table salt. I bring this out to compare it to fluoridation. Since both are poi sons, beneficial to some in con-r trolled, amounts, but hacmful to others, why not put this fluoride in table salt too? . Name on File. A Privilege To the Editor: In Sunday school we used to sing, "Count your blessings, name them one by one." Too often we assume that our blessings, most of which have ,been contributed to us" by others, are our just desserts. We demand as 'rights what we should accept as privileges. So it is with our Communica tions Column. I fear we Com- municatipns correspondents sometimes forget that it is a priv ilege to express our opinions. air our views, even our - prej udices and sometimes our likes and dislikes, and all this without cost to us or obligation excep't to be decent and brief. Surely no one will deliberately abuse such MARKET 1202 North Riverside OPEN EVERY NIGHT TIL MIDNIGHT Matter of Fact THEY ADMIT IT1 Washington In recent testi mony before executive sessions of both the Congressional Armed Services Committees, the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of the Air Staff have now of ficially con firmed all the darkest unof ficial reports about the rela tive status of American and Soviet air atomic power. josepn Aisop The following items from this sworn testimony of Air Force Secretary Doriald Quarles and Gen.

It can be stated on undoubted authority that they ' gave our current output of B-52 bombers as only four per month, and in contrast stated that Soviet out put of the comparable . "Bison" bombers was almost certainly three times as large. These current monthly output rates, of four B-52s against 12 Bisons", ao not tell tne whole story either. Quarles and Twin ing further admitted that we would not reach wour planned peak output' of 17 B-52s per month for at least another year and a half. The .

Glass Etcher To the Editor: I would like to call Mr. Carl Landis' ''attention to a few facts. A tomato is a live vegetable substance. Spdium flu oride is a dead metallic sub stance. And from spdium fluor ide you can make fluoric acid which is so potent that if you put that fluoric acid into a glass con tainer it will dissolve that con tainer in a short space of time. And fluoric acid is also used in etching glass. I would like to see Mr. Landis extract an acid from a tomato that is potent enough to dissolve a glass bottle. Or that can be used in etching glass. Louis N. Gentner, 207 S. Orange st., Medford, Ore. . n time of M , Ji Y Joe and Stewart Alsop of 25 "Bisons" per month, and they will reach their high1 peak considerably sooner than we shall reach our much lower peak. ITEM: It has also been reported, for the first time in this space, that the Soviets were already flight-testing a ballistic missile of 1500-mile range. No compar able ballistic missile has as yet passed the drawing-board stage in this country. Once again on undoubted authority, it can now be stated that Secretary Quarles and Gen. Twining admitted these ' facts, stating they had sure evi dence that the Soviets were in deed testing a 1500-mile ballistic missile. ITEM: It has also been reported that the Soviets' "Farmer" dayfighter and "Flashlight" nightfighter were advanced designs of high quality; that these "Farmers" and "Flashlights" were already being produced in substantial quantities; and that no compar able advanced American fighter aircraft had yet entered the stage of serious quantity production. Again on undoubted authority, it can be stated that Quarles and Twining admitted these facts too. . Our really superior F-104 day fighter is not in production at all. Our only good nightfighter, the F-102, is being produced in tiny trickles. Our rather unsat isfactory F-100 dayfighter, which may well not offer ade quate opposition to the Soviet Bison", is officially in quantity production, but the quantities being produced are still trivial. Meanwhile the Soviets' output of "Farmers" and "Flashlights" will shortly be counted in many scores per month. OUR stock. of nuclear weapons remains far greater than the Soviet stock, and will no doubt . always remain far greater. But their nuclear stockpile is now approaching decisive propor tions. Meanwhile they are pres ently well ahead of us in the best type of bombers that must deliver the bombs, in the fight ers that must intercept the bomb ers, and in the medium range ballistic missiles which , fore shadow the ultimate weapon, the missile of intercontinental range. That is the present pic ture, as officially outlined.' In these circumstances, Air Secretary Quarles' testimony about the Air Force Budget it self was , truly remarkable. The Air Force General Staff, he ad mitted, had originally proposed a mininum budget of twenty billion dollars. He had himself cut the Air Staff request to eighteen and a half billion dol lars, ..which he seemed person ally to have regarded as rock-bottom,- But Secretary of De fense Charles E. Wilson hone the less ordered a further slash, to sixteen and a half billion dol lars. And Quarles yielded, to Wilspri, although he said, this final concession to the Treasury and, Budget Bureau really did make the Air Force budget "very austere indeed." '... QUARLES still further admit ted that thft "austere bud get" was crowded with "one shot savings" which could not be repeated next year. Because of this heavy borrowing from next year's Peter to pay election year's Paul, Quarles testified that the Air Force budget would have to be massively, increased next year unless the strength of the Air Force was instead heav ily reduced. : j. Meanwhile, there was no talk whatever, except from the Shocked Senators and Represent atives, about a great emergency effort to overcome the air lead the Soviets have now achieved. Secretary Quarles took refuge in a cloud pf technicalities. The unhappy Gen. Twining cpntent ed himself with saying we still retained greater air-atomic pow er than the Soviet Union as of now, with melancholy em phasis on the "as of now." But what about two years, or three years, or four years from now, when it will be toe late to catch up, and the Soviet air lead really begins to produce decisive results?
