WASHINGTON (UPI) - The victory of Republican Mark An drews in a special Congression al election in North. Dakota this week may force the Kennedy administration closer to -open support of a new voluntary wheat program. Last May farmers voted in a nationwide referendum to re ject the administration's man datory wheat control program for their 1964 crop. North Dakota farmers sup ported the program more strongly than growers in most other areas. About 65 per cent of the state's wheat producers voted in favor of the plan. Critic of Plan This week, however, voters in North Dakota's 1st Congres sional District elected Andrews, who criticized the administra tion plan and advocated a vol untary control program. Administration advisers have been reporting recently that wheat farmers generally still oppose mandatory controls and that they are likely to vote against such a plan again if another referendum is held. Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman has not endorsed any move as -yet for a new vol untary wheat program. He has been dropping broad hints, how ever, that he would back such a program if wheat farmers generally can agree on some new plan. Republican Rep. Don Short of North Dakota said today that it was hard to interpret the spe cial election in terms of what it foreshadows for agricultural policy in the 1964 general elec tions. .Vol an Endorsement Short said, however, that the election "certainly didn't indi cate any endorsement of the Kennedy-Freeman policy." Sen. Quentin N. Burdick, D N.D., said he did not think farm policy was much of an is sue in the special election. Sen. Milton R. Young, R-N.D., said he did not believe the election provided a clear-cut test on farm policy. Sen. George McGovern , D S.D., offered another interpre tation. He said the Democratic candidate in the special elec tion, John Hove, was a politi cal unknown running against a widely-known Republican. The fact that the Democrat HiH well as he did showed substan tial support for the Democratic program, McGovern said. 4-H NEWS Zippy Sewers A new club was added to Cen tral Point recently.
