Freeman Plans
To Confer With
All Farm Groups
Washington -WD- Secretary
of Agriculture Orville L. Free
man plans to confer with all
major farm commodity groups
before making any solid rec
ommendations for farm legis
lation to the next Congress.
"We are seeking to review
every shade of opinion, every
idea, every interpretation so
as to be thoroughly in tune
with the wants, prejudices,
and needs of every commodity
group," Freeman told UPI.
He said that since the 1962
Farm Bill was enacted, the
public image of agriculture
has been strengthened. This,
he said, will tend to stop the
feuding between farm groups
on how to solve farm prob
lems. Little Understanding
"We have little enough po
litical understanding for ag
riculture to be able to afford
a war within agriculture's
house," he said.
Freeman said the depart
ment already has started
checking with some of the
major groups - particularly
cotton, cattle, and dairy - re
garding their ideas and plans.
He said most farm leaders
agree on the basic facts of the
farm situation - the capacity
nf American agriculture to
produce and the effect of over
production on farm prices.
The disagreements among
leaders, he said, involve meth
ods of solving the problems.
Freeman said he believes
the disagreements are not insurmountable.

Brown-Nixon Race
Candidate Must
Have Voice in
Reply, FCC Says
Washington - CtlPD - The
Federal Comm unicatlons
Commission has ruled that if
a political candidate is attack
ed personally on a television
program by a non-candidate
he should be given a "sub
stantial voice" in selection of
a spokesman to answer to
charge.
But if the candidate, in
answering, chooses lo speak
for himself then his opposing
candidates would have a right
to equal time.
The FCC made the state
ment in a telegram to the
Times - Mirror Broadcasting
Company, owner of station
KTTV at Los Angeles.
William A. Coblentz, coun
sel for the California State
Democratic committee, had
complained to the FCC that
KTTV broadcast several pro
grams critical of Gov. Ed
mund G. Brown without giv-
I ing a spokesman for Brown
I an opportunity to reply.
Will Comply
The commission requires
that when a non-candidate at
tacks personally a candidate
a transcript must be made
available so that a spokesman
can reply.
KTTV replied that it would
comply with the commission's
requirement but asked what
would happen if Brown
speaks for himself.
"Where a political candi
date has been personally at
tacked, he should of course
be given a substantial voice
in the selection of a spokes
man to respond lo such an at
tack," the FCC said.
"Both the candidate and
station concerned should be
aware however, that if the
candidate were to speak for
himself this would give rise
to a right lo equal opportunity
for all other candidates for
the same office."

"4TR
in jest, that slogan points up
the feeling of apathy among
many California voters to
ward the gubernatorial con
test between Democratic in
cumbent Edmund G. Brown
and Republican Richard M.
Nixon.
With the final week of the
campaign under way, then.'
does net seem to be a peak
or climax in sight.
The two men, locked in an
increasingly bitter struggle,
have done everything within
their power to stir interest in
the campaign. But there are
obvious signs of voter le
thargy. Sums It Up
As Art Hoppe, political
columnist for the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, summed it
up:
"The guy who gels the
i fewest number of 'No' votes
will win."
The stirring National league
pennant race between two
California teams - the Los
Angeles Dodgers and the San
Francisco Giants - cut heavily
into attention normally de
voted to a rip-snorting politi
cal campaign, So did the
marathon World Series.
And then, just when both
men were trying to bring
their campaigns to a peak,
came the Cuban crisis.
Perhaps the man who was
hurt the most by President
Kennedy's decision to cancel
all political trips because of
the Cuban situation was
Brown.
The 57 -year -old governor
had been banking heavily on
a scheduled appearance in
California Oct. 25-26 in such
population centers as Los
Angeles, San Diego and San
Francisco. Brown strategists
hoped and were confident the
popular Kennedy would spur
Democrats to turn out at the
polls on Nov. 6.
Nixon rang in his No. 1
supporter, former President
Eisenhower, early in October
before the Cuban situation
dominated the headlines.
Democrats Hold Edge
In a state where Democrats
hold a 3-2 edge in voter regis
tration, a light turnout of that
party's faithful court hurt
only Brown.
Nixon, during a recent
whistle slop train trip, sum
med up his estimate of the
election by saying:
"The man who wins is the
man who can turn out the
greatest percentage of votes
trom his own parly."
Nixon confidently expects
that GOP voters will turn out
in greater numbers, percent
agewise, than Democrats But
he concedes he needs 80 per
cent of his own parly's vote
plus 20 per cent of the Demo
crats to unseat Brown.
The governor is known to
feel that if a large number of
Democrats troop to the polls
he will win. That's why there
is evident disappointment
over the inability of the Presi
dent to make a West Const
trip.
There is no single explana
tion for the "ho hum" altitude
bcinj displayed by many
voters toward (he Brown
Nixon contest.
Political Veterans
Perhaps it is (he fact that
both candidates have been in
California politics for a long
time - Nixon since he first
run for Congress in 1910 and
Brown since he ran unsuccess
fully for attorney general that
same year.
Another reason might be
that the current campaign has
been far too long - both from
the voters' and candidates' '
point of view
Today, public opinion polls '
indicate the Brown-Nixon race '
is almost a lossup but they i
also show quite clearly that j
at least 11 per cent of the
state's 7 5 million voters are i
undecided. Best estimates nf j
the voter turnout re all be-1
low 80 per cent. Two years
ago, when Nixon and Kennedy
clashed for the presidency,
38.32 per cent of the eligible
voters went to the polls.
But the truth is, the talk
in California today is of Cas
tro and Kennedy, not Brown
and Nixon.
Development of
South Coast Area
Declared Limited
Salem - IITII - The Oregon
Water Resources board said
Wednesday there is little pow
er development in the South
Coast Basin of Oregon, and
"Limited potential" there for
future power development.
The report was prepared by
the board's staff.
The basin includes a 1 I
coastal drainage south of the
Umpqua watershed, exclud
ing the Rogue.
The report noted that at
present there is an applica
tion for a license before the
Federal Power Commission
and the state engineer for pro
jects on the south fork of the
Coquille river.
The board will use the re
port as a base for establishing
a water policy for the use of
unappropriated waters of the
basin.
The report noted that com
mcrical timber stands are
"extremely important" to the
economy of the basin area.
Economic Factors
A g r i culture, commercial
fishing and recreation are also
important economic factors,
the report said.
There are major flood and
erosion problems in certain
parts of the basin, according
to the report, particularly
along the lower Coquille
river.
The report also said that:
-Potential storage sites in
the Coquille system are so lo
cated that complete control of
floods is not feasible.
- More than 50.000 acres of
potentially irrigable land in
the basin is the land having
the flood and drainage prob
lems. -The Coos Bay sand dunes
contain an important ground
water source, largely undevel
oped. The Coquille river system
is being studied by the Corps
of. Engineers for possible multi-purpose
development, in
cluding flood control.
