North Korean Farm Operators Unhappy Over Cooperatives Editor's not: In th" five ytirt since the rnd of the Korean war, in Northern Korean t'ommu nuti have almost completed their farm collectivization pro gram. Bot there are reports of increasing unrest amonc farmers in the northern portion of this rugged peninsula. In the follow ing dispatrh. naed on informa tion obtained from official Com munist reports and South Korean intelligence sources. Charles Smith of United Press Interna tional the onlv American news agency correspondent stationed permanently in Korea writes of the Communi's- progress in the farm collectivization program and the causes of the farmer unrest. By CHARLES R. SMITH UPI Correspondent Seoul (UPC The North Ko rean Communists' postwar farm collectivization program is nearing completion. But it is meeting more and more op position from the farmers, ac cording to information re ceived here. The program was begun on a large scale only about four years ago and now an estimat ed 90 to 95 per cent of all farms in North Korea are em braced in the agricultural cooperatives. The Communists spent the first year or so, following the July, 1953, truce agreement, collectivizing the farms on an experimental basis. Formation of the coopera tives began with the establish ment of hard political cores, followed by the cooperativi zation of the farms in the most important agricultural areas. Rapid Growth The number of agricultural cooperatives grew from 806 in 1953 to 15,825 at the end of 1956. These cooperatives in 1956 embraced about 81 per cent of( the total number of farm households and about 79 per cent of the arable land. Now that the bulk of the farm households has been in corporated into the coopera tives, the emphasis once again has shifted, to the tightening of government economic and political controls. This, according to South Korean' sources, is one of the main reasons for the displea- Stuart Symington, G. Mennen Williams Election Winners By United Press International U. S. Sen. Stuart Syming ton of Missouri and Michigan Gov. G. Mennen Williams swept to impressive victories in primary elections Tuesday to enhance their party pros pects as 1960 Democratic pres idential candidates. Besides Michigan and Mis souri, primaries also were held in Kansas and West Virginia. In Kansas. Clyde Reed Jr., a Parsons, Kan., newspaper publisher and son of a former governor and U.S. senator, captured the Republican gu bernatorial nomination an hour after the polls closed. Former Gov. Fred Hall of Dodge City conceded the race to Reed when the latter jumped to an overwhelming Goldfine Letters Urge Caution In Contempt Vole Washington (UPB Gift giving millionaire Bernard Goldfine sent a letter to near ly 400 House members today, urging them not to cite him "unjustly" for contempt of Congress. The Boston textile tycoon also sent their administrative assistants a letter urging them to put his letter to the Con gressmen near the top of the file on your boss' desk." A spokesman for Goldfine said the letters were sent be cause Goldfine "feared the House would vote swiftly on the contempt citation without being fully informed on the case." Vote Due Any Time The House is expected to vote at any time on a recom mendation by its Influence Investigating Subcommittee that Goldfine be cited for con tempt of Congress for refus ing to answer 22 questions about his involved financial dealings. Goldfine's letter insisted that the questions were not relevant to the investigation of his alleged influence-for-favors relationship with Sher man Adams, assistant to Presi dent Eisenhower. Centennial Group Asks Delegate Aid Portland CPD The Ore gon Centennial Commission asked delegates to out-of-town conventions Tuesday for help in publicizing the state's birth day year in 1959 and offered the use of publicity material. Managing Director .1 Floyd Maxwell said the commission office here will send each del egation on request centennial folders, pocket cards and "tent" cards which can be folded to look like pup tents. Also the commission has ban ners four by eight feet which can be loaned for use at con ventions, he said. Former Belgian Consul Sentenced Beirut, Lebanon (UPI) The former Belgian consul general in Damascus was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in jail for threatening Lebanon's se curity. A military court found Louis de San guilty of at tempting to bring a carload of arms and ammunition into Lebanon from Syria 24 hours after the Lebanese rebellion broke out. De San first was condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to 20 years because of a legal tech nicality during the trial. lead with only one sixth of the returns counted. In West Virginia, where two U.S. Senate seats are up for grabs this year, former Rep. Jennings Randolph and Rep. Robert C. Byrd were the apparent winners for the Democratic senatorial nomin ations. Seeking Sixth Term Incumbent Republican Sen. John D. Hoblitzell Jr., seek ing election to the two-year unexpired term of the late Sen. Matthew Neely, and Chapman Revercomb, seek ing reelection to a full term,' were unopposed for renomin ation. Williams smashed his op ponent, radio station owner William L. Johnson of Iron wood, by a better than five-to-one margin to win renomin ation to an' unprecented sixth term as Michigan governor. Republicans named Paul D. Bagwell,, a professor at Michigan State University, to oppose Williams. GOP Sen. Charles E. Potter was renom inated without opposition. Democrats nominated Lt. Gov. Philip Hart to face Pot ter in the November race. Symington whipped his op ponents, Lawrence Hastings, a retired government worker, and Lamar W. Dye of Kansas City, even more decisively. Lady Wins Contest Incomplete returns showed 199,187 votes for Symington to 6,655 for Dye and 11,510 for Hastings. A lady lawyer from Se dalia, Mo., Hazel Palmer, was the apparent winner in a four way Republican race for the senatorial nomination to op pose Symington. In Kansas, Reed won the GOP gubernatorial nomina tion by a big margin over four other candidates. Gov. George Docking, Kan sas, first Democratic gover nor in 20 -years, was unop posed for renomination. Democrats in West Virginia gave Byrd an overwhelming victory 'over two opponents for the right to face Rever comb in the fall election for U. S. senator. RandolDh had a closer squeeze in beating former Gov. William C. Marland for the other Democratic senator ial nomination. Randolph will oppose Hoblitzell in the gen eral election. Workers' Part in Jobless Fund Urged Roseburg (UPD The chairman of the state unem ployment compensation com mission, Mrs. Cecilia P. Galey said at the Oregon State La bor Council convention here Tuesday that she favored em ployee contributions to the unemployment compensation fund. At present, the full load of unemployment compensa tion is carried by employers in Oregon. Mrs. Galey said she will ask the 1959 legislature to consider enacting a law for contributions by employees to the fund. The workers would have a "real stake in it" if they contributed, she said.
