'Soil Bank' Plan For Wheat, Cotton Farmers Debated Washington U.P.i Demo cratic and GOP members of the House Agriculture Committee fought today over a Democratic plan to set up a supplementary "soil bank" for wheat and cot ton farmers. The plan would enable wheat and cotton farmers to draw hundreds of millions of dollars in cash subsidies. Some Democratic sponsors estimated 1 the plan could add as much as S500 million a year to the $1.2 billion the government now is authorized to pay farmers under the soil bank for reducing sur plus producing acres. Veto Expected One administration source said he believed it probable that President Eisenhower would veto the legislation if ' it ever reached the White House. But key committee Democrats insisted that enactment of the proposal was the price the ad ministration would have to pay to get legislation it wants restor ing soil bank benefits to com mercial corn growers in the heavily Republican Midwest farm belt. The Democratic pro posal includes a modified ver sion of the administration's corn bill. The Democratic bill survived its first test Tuesday. The com mittee voted 17-15 to begin con sidering it at a closed meeting today, instead of considering a separate administration corn bill. Offered at Inducement The Democratic plan was of fered as a means of inducing farmers to stop producing sur pluses of feed grains, oats, bar ley, sorghum grain, rye and non commercial corn, on land forced out of production of basic crops by riding government produc tion controls. In broad outline, the plan would allow producers of basic crops, wheat, cotton, peanuts, rice and commercial corn, to re ceive subsidy payments for keep ing idle some of the land on which they have been producing feed grains.

Wednesday, February 13, 19S7 Reputation of Australia Shark Attacks Sydney (U.R) ; Australia has earned a world-wide notor iety for its sharks because of the publicity that has been given to them whten they attack peo ple. Actually, over a long period of years there have been only about three shark attacks each year throughout Australia. There are upwards of 70 spe cies of sharks in Australian wa ters, but the great majority are harmless and many of the small er kind are extensively used for food. However, the shark menace j fort his season on Sydney beach- j es is at its peak now. ! Shark meshing contractor i Nick Gorshenin already has net- j ted 24 man-eating sharks around Sydney. These included a 14 foot whaler and two 12-foot grey nurses. Working under a contract for the New South Wales state gov ernment, Gorshenin patrols the coast in a 40-foot trawler set ting his 14 nets nearly every day. He covers, on the average, seven beaches a day. No Attacks . When joined in pairs his nets extened to over, 1,000 feet, and are kept upright by large cork floats and marker bouys. When a "catch" is made Gor shenin kills the shark and dumps the carcass at sea. Gorshenin, probably the best authority on sharks and their habits in Australia, said sharks are generally too frightened to attack a. group of surf swim mers. They will wait for the lone swimmer who has missed the wave to . the beach and is left stranded beyond the line of breakers waiting for the next one. Oftent his swimmer will find he has the horror of the sea to battle with instead of na ture's next "roller." v Texas had eight capitals be fore it became a state.
