House Expected To
Approve Tax Relief
For Self-Employed
. Washington (UPD The
0. House was expected today to
"override administration pro
tests and pass a bill to provide

jployed persons.
: The Senate, meanwhile, met
on routine measures.
Before the House was the
'.bill to allow self-employed
persons to defer payment of
income tax until age 70 on
o:imounts ranging up to $2,500
ra year placed in retirement
funds. The Treasury says such
i law would mean a loss of
$360 million in annal reve
nue. Although House passage ap
peared assured, many law
makers figured the measure
would be bottled up in the
Senate or die there when Con
gress adjourns next month.
Some lawmakers were protest
ing the bill would discrimi
nate against employees who
have no pension funds.
Secret Session Due
A flurry of congressional
committee activity was to be
highlighted late today by ap
pearance of Central Intelli
gence Agency (CIA) director
Allen Dulles before a secret
session of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
The committee voted last
eek to call him to explain
wv thS United States was
caught flat-footed on the Iraq
rebellion, and also what CIA
knows about the new Iraqi
regime.
Members of the House For
eign Affairs Committee and
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee again were invited
to the daily closed-door brief
ing by the State Department
on the Middle East situation.
Attendance has been small be
cause legislators claim they
aren't learning anything that
isn't available from newspa
per accounts.
Informed congressional
sources reported the adminis
tration was swinging around
to reluctant acceptance of a
Democratic-sponsored bill to
increase social security bene
fits this year. The House Ways
and Means Committee Mon
day gave final approval to a
bill to increase benefits by 7
per cent for the' 11,800,000
persons on the rolls.
Boost Effective Jan. 1
The increased benefits
would Be unancea by in
creased social security taxes
on job-holders and their em
ployers effective next Jan. 1.
The administration was re
ported to have concluded fi
nancing of the plan is sound.
The House Agriculture
Committee showed signs of
capitulating to Agriculture
Secretary Ezra T. Benson's de

Crew Boss Key Man To Migrant
Worker; Transportation Poor
Editor's note: Followine i the
third of four articles dealing with
America's migrant farm workers.
In preceding articles, Louis Cas
sels wrote that, with a good year,
the migrant families might earn
about $1,000. Given a chance to
live like human beings, they begin
to act like human beings, Cassels
said.
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
The key man in the migrant
farm worker's life is the crew
boss.
The crew boss owns a truck
or an old school bus, or both.
He transports migrants usu
ally in crews of 40 or 50
from a place where the crops
are "picked out" to some oth
er place where there are fruits
or vegetables ready for har
vesting. The crew boss also lines up
jobs. A few "free-wheelers"
make direct contacts with in
dividual farmers. But most
crew bosses work through the
farm placement officials of
northern states who . swarm
into Florida and Texas each
spring to recruit migrant la
bor. By working out schedules
which assure migrant crews
of fairly steady employment
throughout the summer and
fall, these officials have help
ed to raise migrant incomes.
Bosses Paternalistic
Some crew bosses are pa
ternalistic toward their work
ers. They lend them money
when they are broke, help
them get a doctor when they
are sick. Others exploit mi
grants by charging them out
rageous fees for transportation
and other "services,."
A crew boss is not supposed
to charge anything for taking
his workers from place to
place. He gets his cut from
the 'grower, who pays the
crew boss a commission on
each basket of .vegetables
picked by the crew. The going
Baghdad Nations To
Combat Aggression
London (UPD The Baghdad
Pact nations pledged them
selves anew Tuesday "to com
bat by all legitimate means"
the spread of "indirect aggres
sion" in the Middle East.
In a closing communique
winding up a two-day session
of the Baghdad Pact Council,
the member nations an
nounced their approval of
the U.S. and British actions in
intervening in Lebanon and
Jordan.
At the same time, they
agreed to maintain close con
tact "in order to achieve the
aims and prposes of their as
sociation for nutual coopera
tion and to strengthen their
ability to resist direct or in
direct aggression."
Minnesota has 19,343,700
acres of forest land, equal to
38 per cent of the state's total
area.
tee went behind closed doors
to reach agreement on a new
catch-all farm bill.
Southern Democratic farm
leaders were under strong
pressure from cotton growers
and textile interests in the
South to produce quickly a
new law to stave off sched
uled sharp cutbacks in cotton
plantings next year.
A bill containing many of
the price support concessions
demanded by Benson passed
the Senate last week.

rate for beans is 50 cents a
hamper to the migrant pickers
and 15 cents a hamper to the
crew boss who "supervises"
and hauls the beans to the can
nery or freezing plant.
In a good year, the boss of
a large crew may earn as
much as $8,000 or $10,000
about 10 times as much as
the average migrant family.
When you hear stories about
"migrant workers" driving
around in brand new cars,
you are probably hearing
about a crew boss.
Travel Conditions Bad
If any . one aspect of the
migrants' life can be singled
out as the worst, it is the
conditions under which they
travel. These conditions were
dramatized last year when 21
Retail Prices of
Food Expected To
Be Down Slightly
Washington (UPD The
Agriculture Department Tues
day forecast lower food prices
during the coming months.
Retail food .prices for the
remainder of the year are
likely to average below the
record high prices of the January-June
period, the depart
ment said in its publication
"The National Food Situa
tion." However, prices for the
last half of 1958 still will be
"slightly above" those in the
last half of 1957.
Larger Supplies
"Supplies of some foods -particularly
meats and fresh
fruit and vegetables will
be somewhat larger than in
the first half of 1958," the de
partment said. It added con
sumer demand for food is high
this summer and fall.
Meat supplies now are on
the seasonal upswing, the de
partment said. Compared with
a year earlier consumers are
expected to have more pork
and top grades of beef per per
son but less veal and lower
grades of beef.
More chicken and about as
many eggs are in prospect,
but less turkey. Per ' capita
supplies of 'dairy products
this summer and fall are ex
pected to be about at the year
earlier level.
Explorer IV Seen
Over South Africa
Cambridge, Mass. (UPD
The first sighting of America's
latest satellite, Explorer IV,
was reported Tuesday by a
moonwatch team in Pretoria,
South Africa.
migrants were killed in one
truck accident in North Caro
lina. Investigation showed
that 41 men, women and chil
dren had been herded like
cattle into the back of the
battered old truck.
Last November, the Inter
state Commerce Commission
issued regulations covering
migrant labor transportation.
These regulations require safe
ty inspection of trucks and
busses. They stipulate that "a
seat must be provided for
everyone, securely attached,"
and that "meal stops" must
be made at least every six
hours on long trips.
In a three-state tour of mi
grant labor camps, I was un
able to find a single crew
leader who had ever heard of
these ICC regulations. Gov
ernment officials in Washing
ton assured me later, how
ever, that enforcement is now
getting underway in many
states.
A Home Missions minister
of the National Council of
Churches accompanied a mi
grant crew from Florida -to
Virginia this spring to see
how migrants fare on long
treks.
"The trip took four days
and four nights," said the Rev.
Isaac Henderson. "There were
no seats in the back of the
truck. We sat on concrete
blocks and potato hampers.
The truck kept breaking down
and we would sit for hours
waiting for repairs.
Food Worst Problem .
"Food was the worst prob
lem. At first, .the migrants
who' had money bought food
while the truck was being re
paired. But all of them were
soon broke. The crew boss let
them go hungry for nearly 24
hours before he took pity and
bought each person one can
of beans, two slices of bread
and one slice of bologna.
"One woman had a six
months old baby. She had
brought along one bottle of
milk. When that was gone,
she gave the baby warm soda
pop to keep him quiet."
Henderson believes that the
government, or somebody,
should build rest stops at in
tervals along the main routes
that migrants travel.
"It would be wonderful,"
he said, "if there were some
place along the way where
migrants could buy food
cheaply, and wash up a little,
and go to the toilet, and even
lie down on a cot for a nap."
