Kennedy Message Includes
Land-Use Conversion Plan
In addition to the three ma
Jor commodity bills, the Pres
ident proposed a number of
other measures including ex
pansion of a land-use conver
sion program and authoriza
tion for a federal loan insur
ance program to expand rural
housing credit.
For cotton, Kennedy pro
posed two separate federal
payment programs, one to the
cotton trade on a two-year
trial basis and the second di
rectly to growers. These pay
ments would cut domestic
market prices to levels com
petitive with prices paid by
foreign mills, while scientists
seek to help farmers cut pro
duction costs through moves
like elimination of the boll
weevil. When costs come
down, Kennedy said, price
supports to growers could be
reduced.
Cotton Legislation Urged
The President urged ap
proval of new cotton legisla
tion before the end of Febru
ary so it could apply to plant
ing of the 1863 crop.
lie recommended that farm
rrs be allowed to grow cotton
above their basic llltili acreage
allotments for export at the
world price. He said that in
l!W:t, the extra planting at ex
port pi iccs-about 8.5 cents be
low present domestic supports
-might be permitted at up to
20 per cent above the already
announced 19U3 acreage al
lotments. For feed grains, Kennedy
proposed continuation of the
voluntary acreage - reduction
programs which Congress ap
proved for JUKI, lUli2, and
again for this year.
He pointed out that if no
new legislation is enacted tins
year, the current farm law
will allow unlimited feed
grain production and price i reduce output of surplus milk
supports will come down
from this year's $1.25 per
bushel on corn to a "disas
trous low" of about 80 cents.
For dairy products, Ken
nedy recommended payments
for production cutbacks. He
said the combination of pay
ments plus market prices
propped by federal supports
should be set to give cooperat
ing farmers more than they
now earn and "Mib.slanlialiy''
more than non-cooperators.
In addition, Kennedy called
for passage of a plan under
which farmers in federal milk
marketing order areas could
without cutting sales to the
high-priced bottling milk mar
ket. The President said a new
dairy bill also should "make
it possible to drop the price
of butter and bultcrlat and
thereby increase their con
sumption." Kennedy also warned Euro
pean Common Market nations
against putting restrictions on
imports of American farm
goods, lie said the United
States "intends to take every
step necessary to protect the
full rights due American agri-
I cultural exports."

Winds Recorded
At 100 MPH Force
Closure of Tower
By United Press International
Rain swept the California
coast today and snow slugged
the Rockies, ending a month
of bitter cold and broken
records.
More records fell today as
polar cold pushed tempera
tures below zero again from
the Great Plains to New York.
The mercury dropped to 9
degrees below zero at Chi
cago, making this the coldest
month in the history of the
city.
The coldest reported tem
perature in 1 1 10 nation today
was at Lone Rock, Wis., where
the mercury sank to 25 below.
Rain in California
Rain continued to pour into
Northern California, dumping
nearly 3 inches on Merced, in
the central part of the state,
in six hours. San Francisco
and Paso Roblcs were hit with
more than an inch and a half
of rain in 24 hours.
The rain turned to ice
through inland sections of the
Pacific Northwest and snow
fell through the Columbia
River Valley eastward to
Montana.
Blinding snow raged
through the Cascades, Sierra
Nevada and northern Rocky
Mountains today, obscuring
peaks and mountain passes.
Power Failures
Heavy rains and winds up
to 100 miles an hour swept
Northern California Wednes
day, causing injuries, flood
ing and power failures.
The Hamilton Air Force
Base control lower was
abandoned because of the
high winds. Gusts of more
than 1U0 miles per hour were
recorded on Ml. Tamalpais

Bodega Bay, north of San
Francisco.
Lowland roads were flood
ed and power facilities torn
down by falling trees.
Tccn-Agcrs Help
Vacationers at resorts in
Ihe Sierra mountains put
away their tennis rackets to
day and lashed on skis to test
the fresh snow.
The Pacific storm left most
of Southern California un
touched and still suffering
from its worst drought of the
century.
Snow also fell throughout
western Washington Wednes
day. Six teen-agers in Seattle
offered their services to mo
torists by sitting on the rear
end of cars going up-hill to
provide traction.
Some schools were closed
in the southwestern part of
the state.
Brown Asks Four-Year Limited
Moratorium on Death Penalty dpA
.. - i i . ... invoke only 2 per n 1 1 1
Sacramento, Calif. - tl'Pli -Gov.
Edmund G. Brown ask
ed the California legislature
today to approve a four-year
limited moratorium on the
death penalty.
In a special message to the
lawmakers, t h e governor
said:
"A moratorium would end
! our modern equivalent of the
Roman circus, the lurid and
emotional aunospnerc in
which society must render the
most awesome of its judg
ments - life or death for one
of its citizens."
Concurrently with the mes
sage, the legislature received
from Assemblyman Lester A.
McMillan (D-Los Angeles) the
formal bill for the moratori
um. McMillan's last attempt
at a moratorium died on an
i unusual 40-40 lie vote of the
Assembly two years ago.
Facet Opposition
The administration bill
would grant a four-year mora
torium to all but double kill
ers, twice - convicted killers,
kidnap-murders or prisoners
who kill peace officers. It '
would not apply to prisoners
now on death row at San
Quentin.
Brown said he agreed to the
exceptions because they re
move the most common ob- '
jeetions to total abolition, ;
which he favors, and added:
"It is better that we move

Overload Bill
Is Introduced
Salem A bill that would
give discretionary powers to
district and justice courts in
levying fines for overloads on
motor vehicles has been intro
duced in the 1963 session by
Sen. L. W. Newbry (R-Ash-land).
The present 1 a w provides
for minimum fines which are
"exhorbitant," Newbry said,
and give the judge no authori
ty to reduce them because of
cxtcnuat i n g circumstances.
Senator Ncwbry's proposal
will give the courts discre
tionary powers in levying the
fines based on circumstances.
'"The penalties for overload
ing have been extreme, and
have placed particular hard
ship on log haulers,' Senator
Newbry stated in introducing
the legislation.
"There is some question in
my mind as to whether the
present law is even constitu
tional since the constitution
provides that the penalties
must fit the crime. The fines
for slight overloads Usually
exceed the fines levied for
drunken driving and obvious
ly an overloaded truck does
not present the hazard to the
public that a drunk at the
wheel docs."
Newbry maintained that his
hill would in no way reduce
the responsibility of the truck
operators to keep their loads
within the limits required un
der the law.

The bill was certain to face
strong opposition from minor

sembly and from at least part
of the state Senate, which
stopped Brown's last all-out
try for repeal of the death
penalty.
Brown presented his case in
an eight-page printed pamph
let reviewing both the state's
recent history of executions
and his own convictions on
the subject.
"You know where I stand,"
he said. "I oppose capital pun
