The future of much of this market depends on decisions by the agricultural ministers of the European Economic Community (EEC) on farm policy within the Common Market Saix. U. S. poultry raisers already have been hurt The six nations France, Belgium, Holland, Italy. West Germany, Luxembourg early in 1962 agreed on a common policy for eggs and poultry, Iruits and vegetables. The import duty on chickens was boosted from 4'i cents a pound to 12V- cents. The levy in West Germany, our bitrcrest outlet, rose from 4.8 cents to 13 cents a pound. The result has been that poultry exports to EEC slumped fast after midyear to Slz.b million in the four-month period ended Nov. 30 from $20.3 million a year earlier.

But in the meantime the Six have, in effect, erected a wall against our chick ens. The six were to have worked 'out an agree' ment on cereals by April 1, but now that deadline has again been set back. Smooth negotiations within the Market weren't helped by President de Gaulle's veto of cntain s entry, and so the talks may drag on and on. When a common policy is worked out, feed grains, wheat, flour, rice, and vegetables are the most likely candidates for additional tariff pro tection.

West Germany supports wheat at $3.15 a bushel. According to Farm Journal, the uuoer limit for the eventual market-wide support already has been set "even higher than the present German level, which is the highest in the world. Now the prophets of gloom predict that De Gaulle will push for the higher German price to make France "Europe's granary." France grows more than three times as much wheat as West Germany. THE current gloom presupposes a Gaullist Com- mnn Markflr Rur. .Toan Mnnnol (ha aivViittinr - -- v. u j . .&v.a..uw, wiv uii.iiiui.vv ot bliiC, looks to an agricultural community in which inefficient farmers will be discouraged, ef ficient producers will be encouraged, and needed agricultural products that cannot be efficiently prouucea win De imported. The Monnet Plan was responsible for France's post-World War II agricultural recovery as well as for its gigantic economic strides. Through a program called remembrement (putting together of limbs) France's small land holdings were re grouped into factory farms. This is the aim for the others in the Six. In West Germany, where the farm population is about 25 per cent of the total, agriculture is al most as inefficient as in Southern Italy. Through out the Common Market the average farm con tains only about six hectares, or 15 acres. And even De Gaulle could be made to see the dangers of a strict protectionism for the Com mon Market overproduction, inflation, high wages, and hence high prices for the very indus trial products the Six must ship to thrive. E.R.R. The Greek Way The measure of the rebirth of Greece, which celebrates its 133rd Independence Day on Mon day, March 25, is that the United States plans soon to take it off the foreign aid dole. Nearly .ihj uuuun vt rvuit.-iiv.ctii iuu nits ueen poured into Greece since the end of World War II. But the tab has drooped to a modest $30 million annually, virtually all of it for military assistance. Axis forces progcssivelv stripped the Greek economy during World War II, and then syste matically destroyed what was left before pulling out. Civil strife followed. The United States sent in a rescue mission in 1947 to keen the country from falling behind the Iron Curtain. By 1949 the Greeks were able to put down the Communist supported guerrillas and concentrate on economic rehabilitation. THOUGH still among the poorer nations of tiiiropc west of the Iron Curtain, Greece s economic miracle is not to be faulted. In 1945 only five of the country's passenger ships remained and less than one quarter of its cargo vessels were still afloat; today, the merchant fleet sailing under Greek flag totals 1,100 ships. If all Greek owned ships were registered under its flag, Greece would be the world's third-ranked mari time nation. Greece's gross national product has been gl owing at the rate second only to that of West Germany for the past decade, and a li per cent annual increase is planned for the next 10 years. Last November Greece became the first as sociate member of the European Common Mar ket countries but permits imposition of some tariffs or imports for the next 22 years. This is a fillip for Greek exports, which include such luscious products as olives, fruits and Melina Mercouri. E.R.R. United States Engaged in Delicate Diplomatic Game in the Middle East By STEWART HENSLEY United Press International Washington-dPU-The United States engaged in a delicate diplomatic game in the Mid dle East in an effort to keep revolutionary ferment among the Arab states from spark ing new tourmoil. One the one hand, Washing ton firmly supports United Arab Republic President Ga mal Adbcl Nasser. And it quickly recognized the new pro-Nasser revolutionary re gimes In Yemen, Iraq and Syria. At the same time, the Ken nedy administration has re newed and strengthened its pledges to help safeguard the sovereignty of baudi Arama and Jordan, both ruled by monarchies attacked as "re actionary by the Arab revolutionaries.

But Washington sternly warned Nasser against any repetition of bombing raids early this month on Saudi supply points.

Evidence Explained To the Editor: Recently In the Editorial column of this paper, Dan Smoot and I were bitterly attacked for calling Romulo Betancourt of Vene zuela a Communist. But noth ing was said about Congress man Rouselot of California and Congressman Cramer of Florida who put Betancourt's Red record in our Congres sional Record. It is this evi dence that the Smoot Report 392 is based on, and this is the evidence and documentation that must be explained away before anyone has the right to villify, smear, and slander Smoot. Further evidence against the Venezuelan President can be found in the 1958 Clements A s s o c 1 a tes Report, which states, "At the present time he (Betancourt) ' . doing more to aid the Kremlin's cause in Latin America than Fidel Cas tro in Cuba. With these con siderations in mind, it can be stated with emphasis thai Ro mulo Betancourt is a Com munist." Also, In the April, 1960, issue of American Opinion magazine, Betancourt's life as a hard core Communist from the time he was 17 up to 1960 is fully recorded and cannot be explained away. Another extremely diffi cult thing to explain is, if Betancourt is such a staunch anti-Communist, why Is Perez Jimenez, one of the greatest anti Communist leaders in Venezuela and all Latin Amer ica, in the U.S. seeking poli tical asylum, afraid for his very life? And why is Com rade Betancourt moving heav en and earth to get him ex tradited and returned lo Ven ezuela where he can destroy him by execution or imprison ment? To me, the clincher is the fact that our pro-Communist State Department Is going all out to convince our Congress men, Senator?, and private citizens that Betancourt is an-ti-Communlsl, Just as they did with Mao Tse-lung of Red China, and as they did with Achmed Sukarno of Indones ia, and more recently with Fidel Castro himself. Yet, in spite of all the above evidence, our Editor has thrown every smear word and innuendo in his arsenal at Smoot and all those who be lieve In and quote Smoot Reports. Why? Perhaps the answer lies in the short Edi torial below the main one. titled "Words, Words, Words." It is about Sidney J. Harris's column, "Antics With Seman tics," and shows how a clever writer can play back and forth with the meanings of words and phrases. For exam ple, to the Right Wingers Smoot is honest and "forth right," while Ihcre Is no doubt at all thai to our Editor he is slanderous." And, savs our Editor. "Take your choice. It's only words."

The article in the paper gave me quite a shock, as the time I went out there, I was impress ed with how well the kids had done in organizing the drags. There were a number of problems, including the drinking and fights, but, it seems to me that proper su pervision could correct these faults in a hurry. The prob lem should be "how can we get these drag strips super vised?" not "how can we get rid of them? I admit this may be a bit harder than closing the area off and forgetting the whole business, but I believe the re sult would more tha-1 make up for the trouble. To be hon est, the things for high school students to do that are super vised and approved are rap idly dwindling. There are a few dances on week ends, shows, and now that the ball games are over, that's about it. I, for one, would like to register my protest against this step. This problem appears to be a very important one: as the size of Medford increases, the number of supervised activi ties decreases. Are there any alternate plans for recreational facili ties to take the place of the drags? Or is it going to be up lo the kids themselves to find entertainment? Private drags on the street are a lot more dangerous than drags on a supervised strip. I hate to ad mit il but we have to have something to do for kicks. The district attorney, in his- speech to the Crater basket ball team as published in the paper, stressed the import ance of "helping this other kid, those who are not quite fortunate as voursclvcs." He also said, "We're rcspoisi- blc for the bad guy, each one of us." Well? 1 realize there are some people in Medford who do not accept the responsibility lor providing recreation for young people. This mav be right, but if the town will not help create some substi tute tor the drags, I don't be lieve they are accomplishing much in the way of control ling delinquency by banning them.

I KHRUSHCHEV AT CANOSSA Bonn - What is happening in the Soviet Union grows in creasingly mysterious. Yet it is plainly more impor tant than any thing else that is happening at the mo ment, since a profound change in So viet world policy, and Aisnp perhaps even in the Soviet leadership, now seems to be taking place. No other conclusion can logically be reached, on the basis of the exchanges be tween the Soviets and the Chinese Communists which have now been published. To begin with, every serious stu dent of Soviet and Chinese affairs has long agreed that the Sino-Soviet quarrel could never be effectively patched up without a change of leader ship in Moscow or Peking. TN THESE circumstances, on February 21, the Soviets sent the Chinese an invitation to open discussions of their common differences. The first answer to this invitation was the gravest, the most com plete, and the most damning indictment of Khrushchev, his supporters, and his policies that has yet issued from Pe king. After this fearful barrage of ideological invective, the Chinese then said they would love lo have a jolly chat; and they arrogantly suggested that Khrushchev himself come to Peking for the purpose. Against the background of what had already passed, this was nothing more or less than an invitation to Canossa. Nonetheless, instead of break ing off at once, the Kremlin signified its intention of pro ceeding to negotiate with the Chinese by publishing the texts of the Sino-Soviet ex changes in Moscow. rFHIS seems all the more re mnrkahlp nnw ihat I ho main thrust of the Chinese at tack has been revealed by the official theoretical journal of the Western Communists, the Marxist Review, published in Prague. In an article that must have gone lo press about a fortnight before the Moscow publication of the Sino-Soviet exchanges, the charge is spe cifically made that the Chi nese have been "raising cries for the removal" of "the lead ers of the Soviet Communist parly. Meanwhile, a quite signifi cant change in Ihc Soviet leadership has in fact taken place. The man who has been continuously in charge of arms production for the Sov iet armed forces since the year 1941, Dimitri F. Ustinov. has been promoted to be one of three First Deputy Pre miers of the Soviet Union and has been made the czar of the whole Soviet industrial economy. An argument about Soviet investment priorities, and es pecially about the share of Soviet resources lo be allocat cd to the armed forces, has been going on in the Krem lin for a long time. Khrush chev, it is well known. -has long withed and repeatedly tried to reduce defense invest-1 ment in favor of the civilian economy. Simply by virtue ! of his former office. Ustinov j must surely have been on the I v I Wtllta A PTLY enough. This in quiry is being conducted Ac by one of the best groups in congress, the Senate Perma nent Investigations subcom mittee headed by Senator John L. McClellan of Arkan sas. McClellan's panel is dog gedly examining why McNa mara let a contract for the all-purpose TEX warplane lo General Dynamics corpora-1 military policy, and lo many lion rather than to the rival ol"cr w ? . ,. . . :lnot overly concern the uni- cocing company, wnicn naa i oTmed military fellows, offered what seemed on its sideration, it was his judg ment that General Dynamics could do the job in the least time, at the least risk, with the best result in weaponery and, in the end, also at the least cost. The right and wrongs, in sheer terms of immediate dol lars and cents, are quite be yond any independent evalua tion by this columnist and may forever be. For by their very nature such vast outlays by the Pentagon include such immense and varied factors as to make any outside judg ment as difficult to grasp as a wavering moonbeam flitting across the ceiling of a shutter ed room at midnight. r.THER and more important v things, however, can be said with complete confi dence. Involved here is a chal lenge to McNamara's ulti mate civilian control over the Pentagon by uniformed offi cers with pipelines to con gress who beyond question are far less interested in econ omy than he is. Their profes sional interest, and rightly so. is in having all the arms they want of the kind they prefer, period. His interest must be in pro curing the best arms avail able; but with due regard to economy, to unified general face at least to be a lower bid. With equal doggedness, Mc Namara is defending that de cision on Ihe ground that, taking everything into con- opposite side of the argument to Khruschev. VET here is Ustinov, put in charge of all Soviet indus try, given the fourth place in the Soviet administrative hierarchy, and reportedly slated for promotion to the Soviet Presidium as well. That implies a decisive settle ment of the investment argu ment, and a settlement, too, that is highly unfavorable to Khrushchev's known view point. Other, less important but quite similar signs, all point ing in the same direction, were recently discussed in this space. Add up all these signs plus the bewildering exchanges wilh the Chinese, and you are forced to make one of two deductions. Either the Soviets are actually preparing to accept the intransigent Chinese the ses - which must mean that his opponents, aided by the Soviet military, have so suc cessfully ganged up on Khrushchev that he retains only the facade of power. Or Khrushchev has had to pay a very high price to the more conservative Soviet leaders, by the Ustinov pro motion and in other ways, in order to buy their assent lo making a final break with the Chinese when the Sino Soviet negotiations begin. Be tween these two alternatives, you can take your choice. And involved - though not in the McClellan committee itself as a whole - is a deter mined movement in congress to reduce the authority of this civilian head of the Pentagon and to increase that of tha generals and admirals. There is no "conspiracy" between the men in uniform and the men in congress. But there is undoubtedly some working purpose to cut McNamara down to size. a AT LAST, Ihe whole ques tion comes to this: is civ ilian authority to be supreme, or is it to be abridged in the clearly well-intentioned but profoundly dangerous notion that, in these days of cold war, the generals and admi rals really know best? It is a hard question super ficially, but to those who have read the Constitution it has only one answer. The Secre tary of Defense must remain the Secretary of Defense. If he falls into fatal error, it will be necessary to get an other man. But neither con gress nor the general-admirals can run the Pentagon - or should. At the same, there is trag edy here. The men in congress who are striking at McNa mara are acting from the highest motives. And the man they are striking at has been regarded up to now by these very men of congress as the best Secretary of Defense in history, tough and non-political. Congress clamored for years for a secretary who would knock heads together at the Pentagon. Congress has got him now - and is not so happy with the choice as it was before. been good for Egypt. They are not so sure he will prove to be good for the Middle East. Monty from Both Nasser received $257.4 mil- '" lion in U.S. economic aid in -the fiscal year ending June 30. 1962, and is getting about: -$150 million more this year. However, he also has re-- , ceived $600 million in recent years from Russia for the As- -wan dam and industrial de- . velopmcnt. He is in hock to ." the Kremlin for a consider- : able part of the $2.5 billion in military equipment sup plied by Russia during the -past six years.

The Kennedy ad-r ministration does not think , so. ., Washington officials point s to his continued suppression- : of Communists within Egypt, me great aeerease in anti-i.

' Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (c Field Enterprises, Inc. fl j M TOM J 'GRATITUDE' At dinner the other night, : someone was telling about a famous artist who, when poor ' and struggl-; ing, had bor-v rowed money , from a rich : friend. Many. years later,-, he told his friend: "I have repaid the debt -not b y returning Htrn- the money lo- you, but by passing it on to a young artist who is now where I was then." This anecdole reminded m of a true and touching obser vation on that much-abused word "gratitude" made a long time ago by the French writ. er, Frederic Paulhan. He said: the obligations of erati. tude, like all approved obli gations, are a low form of morality. Real ratitt de does not consist in loving a person who docs us a service and in doing him a service in return. Gratitude consists in Drnf. iting by the service that has done so that we can act as well as possible toward the whole of humankind, and not only toward the Individual to wnom we are grateful." Parents often made ihe calamitous mistake of ex pecting their children to be "grateful" for sacrifices or advantages; but a child's gratitude does not have to go back lo his par ts-it should be passed down to his own children If we do things for the child in the hope of win ning his gratitude, we are really engaging in what Paulhan properly calls "a '. low form of morality." The J higher form consists in wanting the child to behave j Ll ;v J V JS l "Heavtnsl Already? I've barely recovered from tha last enel" as decently, as kindly, to all people as we , aa to mm, ' Artists, after they be- come affluent and famous,) may be grateful to their pa-1 troni for having given them the initial push; but how! many of them express their ' gratitude by offering ihe ' same help lo snuggling no- f. vices?
