PACK SIXTEEN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OT.rT.ON .iATUHDAV. SEI'TKMHEn H, 1052 Survey Shows Farmers Want 100 Percent Parity WASHINGTON url-An Agrlcul Cure Department survey alio" most American larmera want lull parity price aupports (or their products, ays (Secretary Uinnimn. Ha issued a summary ol lindinits In a uauuivwme uicy ii,6 ue partmcnt conducted a year ago. OI price aupports, Brannan's sum mary said; "Specific approval of the price support program constituted the cenual tlieme ol the wide general approval. ... A heavy preponder ance of opinion favored 100 per cent ol parity supports, with rel atively few suggestions for discon tinuing price support." Parity Is a standard for mea suring farm prices, declared by law to be equally lair to farmers and to those who buy their prod ucts. The survev called the "Family Farm Policy Review" kicked up controversy In agricultural cir cles when it was made a year ago. The summary issued yester day drew Immediate fire from the powerlul American Farm Bureau Federation. "It is significant to note," said the federation's statement, "that NATO Nations Now Have 2 Million Men Under Arms By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON I The State Department reported today this country's European Allies now have more than two million men under arms compared with Rus sia's four million. The figures were cited In a 50 page departmental report designed to answer Inquiries from Congress and private citizens about progress made in building Europe's de fenses under the 3-year-old North Atlantic Treaty. Although indicating a relation ship in the balance of East-West military power, the figures do not include other forces which fit into the overall picture. Not mentioned Is the total Am erican strength of 3 1 i million men under arms, the armed manpower of friendly nations like Australia Yugoslavia and Spain, or the arm ies of Russia's satellites and Red China. The report also referred to Rus sian possession of the atomic bomb as a major element In Soviet Fireball Stirs Four States BALTIMORE Wl A firey object that streaked through the night sky with a "great greenish-white light" stirred "flying saucer" talk among residents of four states from Maryland to Tennessee last eight. Weather Bureau observers here saw the object but made no of ficial report of it. One observer, who wished to remain anonymous, said It probably was a meteor. The streak of fire first was re ported over Baltimore shortly after dusk, about 8 p.m. EDT. In quick succession came reports from the west from Frederick, Hagerstown and Cumberland, Md., and Charleston, Whe e ling and Parkersburg, W.Va . Washington viewers flooded the Weather Bureau, Naval Observa tory and even the Pentagon there with calls. No blips showed on Washington area radar screens to record the object's passing. Persons throughout Virginia saw what they variously described as "a big star," "a flying saucer" and something "like a flaming jet plane.' They said It ranged in color from pale yellow to greenish and reddish and was noiseless. It moved from east to west. A ball of fire seen in the sky over Kingsport, Tenn., about the same time, set oif a fruitless search for a wrceked plane. There were no reports of missing air craft, but Tennessee highway pa trolmen, the Kingsport lliesaving crew and several ambulances combed an area of about 15 square miles after an aerial object was reported to have struck the ground alter streaking across the sky. A spokesman at Trl-Clties Air port near Kingsport said the ob ject had been identified as a meteor." Operations personnel at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington put a similar label on it. And Naval Observatory officials said rerwrts they received made it sound to them "like a typical meteor.' Reports of the size of the object ranged from "as big as a foot ball to "the size ol a washtub. The Civil Aeronautics Adminis tration said its tower men in Wheeling and Parkersburg saw the bright object and a pilot en route to Wheeling from the east reported sighting it in the vicinity of Front Royal, Va. Persons In Southwest Virginia saw at lesat three flashing objeets that were described as meteors.

The iederaiion called the survey "grounded In politics." It con tinded the survev "will undoubt edly be used in an attempt to influence farm thinking in the cur rent political campaign." Brannan and the federation have long been at odds over farm pol icy, including price support levels. The farm group favors flexible supports, ranging from 7S per cent to 90 per cent depending upon sup ply. Brannan advocates support at full parity. The top limit now is 90 per cent. Brannan's summary was based on meetings held by the depart ment in each of the more than 3.000 agricultural counties of the nation where farmers meet to dis cuss department programs. It said most reports gave gen eral approval of present farm aid programs, policies and agencies. Many, it said, recommended ex pansions in some of these. The department said more than J00.O0O persons attended the meet ings. There are five million farm operators in this country. power a reference reflecting con victlon among officials here that Russia has such a bomb, although not in quantities equal to Amer ica's. Interest in Russia's actual or assumed possession of nuclear weapons was freshly aroused re cently when Carlton S. Pioctor, New York engineer who once worked in Russia, said he did not believe the Soviets have succeeded in mastering the complex task of producing atomic weapons. The White House has announced three atomic explosions in Russia. Other sources have estimated that Russia has a stockpile of 100 or more A-bombs. But Proctor, president of the American Society of Civil Engi neers with wide experience in Rus sia and behind the Iron Curtain, said in Chicago Sept. 3: "I do not believe Russia has one single bomb. ... I think every one of the atomic explosions in Russia was just a premature ex plosion, in an effort to produce a bomb." The departmental survey of progress said that, aside from the men under arms in western Eu rope and in Russia, millions more, are in reserve and that Russia's strength includes 175 front line di visions "with loo deployed in soviet-occupied Euorpe" The department cited the Soviet forces as evidence of why it con sidered the job of building up v. ext ern power far from completed. The great current problem of the North Atlantic Treaty, the booklet said, is how to balance the security requirements of the North Atlantic powers against their ca pacity to arm, which Is limited by their industrial and financial resources. The State Department said the United States must continue to give "full support" and argued that American financial help Is "an es sential underpinning for the de lense program of our allies." As to how long it believed the present defense build-up should go on, the Slate Department said the answer depends largely on Rus sia's behavior, but that the em ergency will not necessarily "con tinue indefinitely." The report showed that defense spending in the other Atlantic al liance countries has gone up stead ily, and that the total may reach 511,700.000.000 in the present fiscal year (1953). It declared that morale and unity in Europe have gone up along with defensive strength, and that Com munist influence as shown in Com munist party membership has steadily dropped. The report said Communist party membership in the 12 European area NATO na tions has dropped 34 per cent, or from 3,900.000 in 1946 to 2,600.000 in 1951. Manslaughter Charge Dropped TOLEDO, Ore.

The sheriff said the pastor, after reading a newspaper story on the swindle Aug. 29, five times tele phoned Mr. and Mrs. Lemos and assured them the money would be relumed.

DC. who is director of Ihe public re lations for the American Trucking Association. Belson's Job Is to put in a good word lor trucks and Ihe trucking Industry, and he is an admirable speaker. His talk here, however, did nut touch on mutters which are to be decided by Oregon voters at Ihe Nov, 4 general election. At the election voters of the state will decide whether to put Into operation a weight-mile truc k tax system, which has been enacted by the legislature an.1 referred for a vote al the Insistence of the Oregon Highway Council, or to put certain limitations on Ihe type of taxation the state can Impose on trucks, as proposed by the highway council. Belson's talk was on the subject of revolution In transportation, the change in business, industry and everyday living wrought by the In ternal combustion engine by cars and trucks since early this cen tury. Two out of every three tons ol freight moved in the United States now, Belson declared, moves some part of Its trip by truck, although the railroads are atill the greatest carriers of tonnage on long hauls. Trucks aren't driving the rail roads out of business, he said, be cause the railroads are handling more freight this year thnn all forms of transportation (trucks, rails, air, waterways, pipelines i handled In this country 10 years ago.
