"-At its inception - which to say WHEN IT BEGAN the farm program was a war program. The flames World War II were breaking out all over the world. All around the globe men were being taken out of production, including food production, and were being put into uni form. Ever since war began, food nas been recognized as weapon. All down through history food blockades have been a part of the strategy of war. If you can feed' your own side and starve the other side, you're pretty sure to win. CO- From the moment when Pearl Harbor precipitated us into World War II it was rec ognized that one of our big gest jobs would be to feed both ourselves and our allies The farm program, as then devised, was a WAR measure Its purpose was to insure the American farmer that there would be a fair price for ALL THE FOOD HE COULD PRODUCE. Hence the subsidies for basic food crops. As a WAR measure, it was a SOUND measure. With the fear of overpro duction and consequent fail ure to sell what they produc ed at a price that would leave them whole and finan cially healthy removed, American farmers turned in and produced food as food had never been produced be fore. We fed ourselves, and we fed our allies. And we won the war. Counsel With ... Mr. Insurance Fred Brennan WE ASK YOU HOW MANY INSURANCE AGENTS DO YOU DEAL WITH? IT YOULD BE A LOT MORE CONVENIENT TO DEAL WITH ONE CERTIFIED INSURANCE AGENT FOR ALL YOUR IN SURANCE NEEDS. We handle all lines. If vou de mand the best, consult us. red Ft. Brennan, C.I.A. PHONE SP 3-7343 MEDFORD INSURANCE Agency 27 North Holly Street AS a WAR measure, the American farm program was a great success. It was wisely conceived and wisely carried out. It accomplished its purpose. It enabled us to feed our allies while the war was on and to FEED THE WORLD during the years when it was recovering from the ravages of the most de structive war in history. The TROUBLE was that the subsidies, were not dis continued when the need for them ended. We went right on subsidizing OVERPRO DUCTION. We have contin ued to subsidize overproduc tion ever since -with the re sult that VAST SURPLUSES have been built up. These vast subsidies have cost the taxpayers vast sums and they hang over the agricultural markets of the future like a dark thundercloud. IIHY all this tragedy of " error? The answer is painfully simple. The politicians ... of BOTH parties . . . have been gun ning for the farm vote in every political campaign since the war ended. Both sides have been afraid to eliminate the wartime subsi dies and get back to a supply and demand market. . Since the war ended, both sides have had the opportun ity to put an end to this dis graceful business of BUYING GROUP VOTES WITH SUBSIDIES. Neither side has done any thing about it. Florence Withers As Tropical Storm Miami - (UPII - A weak low pressure area, the dying rem nants of troDical storm Flor ence, kicked up a few squalls to 35 miles per hour today In the Atlantic about 75 miles off the northeast coast of Cuba.

STARTS THURSDAY! 3 Big Days-Sept.22-23-24 See Wednesday's Mail Tribunet Washington Report By WIUIAM S. WHITE WOMEN'S VOTE Washington , - The candi dates earnestly talk to the farmers, to the labor conven tions, to t h e vet erans as s e m bled, to businessmen's a s s o ciations and all t h rest. They try to appeal to every conceiv- able m a 1 group o plain, measur- wiiiim . Whit able and usually pocketbook interest: "It will be better for you if the Democratic ticket (or Republican ticket) gets in. you know." But the whole heart of the problem of this campaign, to a degree, it has never been before, is to lay successful siege to the heart of the one undoubted majority in this country, the female sex. The true king of this cam paign is the image-maker, that outer personality in each of the candidates for president and vice president under which lies a tough, able noli- tician. And the image-makers all of them, Democratic pres idential candidate Kennedy, GOP presidential candidate Nixon, Democratic vice presi dential candidate Johnson and GOP vice presidential candi. date Lodge - are concentrat ing their ultimate appeals on she who will be queen for a day in the November election, the American woman voter. TF ONE single group can be said to hold the power of absolute decision, it is this group. There are now 3,250, 000 more eligible women vot ers than men voters. There is every prospect, too, that for the first time in history the women will actually cast more votes than the men. The days of the little wom an staying home over the kitchen range while the old man sallied out to the polling oootn are gone forever. (The Kitchen range, too, has long departed - and sometimes the food on the table is as truly labrlcated as is the cottage in which it is set out in the form of something called "TV dinners" placed in front of that omnipresent electronic machine of which the . little woman is undisputed n tress.) Dealing with the palpable issues like civil rights and farm subsidies and tax poli cies is hard enough. But all this is as simple as rolling a log compared to coping with that vast labyrinth of ladylike hunches, instincts, intuitions, likes and dislikes in which the woman voter lives. IN A word the woman gen erally, repeat generally, is reached politically not so much by a candidate standing on this or that platform as on tne whole sum of his person ality - his "image" - as it reaches her. Thus, above and beyond all statements of prin ciple and purpose, every can didate offers an Image of him self which he hopes will do the job for him. And these images, though consciously projected, must not be phony and aren t. Senator Kennedy comes through like this: a lean, somewhat casual young man, but not a callow one, who shows himself as a politician of great modernity. He calls for action, action, action. He turns his back mostly on the past. His theme, which he himself has lately put in a single (and curiously old-fash ioned) phrase, is that the Re publicans are "stick-in-the-mud" - and Nixon, too. Vice President Nixon: A youngish - but not really young - and compact and buttoned-up sort of man: a rather quieter politician than his rival, and sometimes one so sober in approach as al most to be somber. His un stated slogan is "action, yes; but haste makes waste." His theme is expressed in two word s: "maturity, experi ence." He does not attack Ken nedy. Instead he smiles rather a d I y and understandably over his rival. "After all," the vice president's manner says, "we were ill young once." HENRY Cabot Lodge, the Republican vice presiden tial candidate: A mellow so phisticated but also kindly man-of-the-world; a striking ly modish grandfather; a fel low not exactly looking for a job but perfectly ready to serve if the good people want him. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, tne Democratic vice presiden tial candidate: More than i bit of the tall, darkly hand some but rather woman-shy marshal of the old west: a leathery, laconically chival rous man - a kind of drawling uary cooper to Lodge s clipped-voiced Rex Harrison.

By STEWART HENSLEY New York-WPD-The bizarre has become commonplace in international diplomacy. The incredible seems almost tak en for granted. Protocol offi cers are In less demand than police. Soviet Premier Nlkiti S. Khrushchev deserves a large share of the credit or blame for stripping the striped pants off international man ners. But he s had help. Looking back over the past 12 months there have been moments of high comedy and times of spine -chilling tragedy. Vicious mobs in Tokyo blocked President Eisenhow er's visit to Japan. Scream ing demonstrators in New York are keeping Khru shchev, as well as Cuba's Premier Fidel Castro, quar antined in their living quar ters except when they sally forth under heavy guard to attend the United Nations Khrushchev Stts Ton The Russian leader set the tone for the current deep freeze when he unleashed his blood-curdling denunciation of the United States and Ei senhower before 2,000 of us reporters jammed into Paris' Palais des Nations last May. This was a far different Khrushchev than the jolly peasant who just a year ago this week led 300 of us on a chase across farmer Roswell Garst'S Iowa cornfield. Khrushchev, welcomed to sunny Washington a year ago as Eisenhower's guest, came ashore Monday in a dismal rain at a leaky East river pier where not a single American official of consequence was on hand to greet him. Eisenhower's far-flung Peace Crusades" during the past year to Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Latin America were not without their blzaare aspects. There was the night last December in New Delhi's Connaught Circle when one and one-half million Indians their features contorted by flickering torchlight, screamed a welcome to the "Prince of Peace" and scratched the paint from his auto in vain efforts to touch him. Swings Swagger Stick Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, infuriated by the in ability of the presidential car to proceed, leaped from his seat by Eisenhower and, in as futile a gesture as man ever made, attempted to beat back the crowd with his swagger stick. Among the mass were In dian Communists under orders from Moscow to cheer Work Starts On Riverside Sewer Work has started on the $24,000 South Riverside san itary sewer projeat, Public Works Director Vern Thorpe announced. ' Contractor on the project is the W. C. Conrad Construc tion company. Thorpe said the sewer is scheduled to be completed within 90 working days of the contract date which was signed Aug. 29, He said the sewer will vary In size from 8 to 10 inches and will serve the area south of Ead it., and between Riv erside ave. and the proposed freeway to Stewart ave. The sewer will start at the intersection of Spencer and Mayette sts., run parallel to South Riverside ave., to Bar- nett rd., then along Barnett to Stewart ave. At Stewart ave. the sewer will turn south for approximately 800 feet, Thorpe said.
