a shot and returned to find Clark

US Farm Surplus Problems Involve Foreign Relations
Season Game
Tickets Sold
More Urac 200 choice seats have
already been sold for Klamath
Union High School football games
to be held at Modoc Field this
season.
The season ticket for six games
costs (6, they are on sale daily
at the Klamath County Chamber
of Commerce office.
Modoc stadium holds about 5.000
spectators and 2,061 are reserved.
However, R. Flank Tucker,
chamber manager, suid only 780
of these are in the center of the
playing sidelines.
First game here will be belween
KUHS and Portland's Cant High
School.
Other home games individual
admission is $1.50 are with
Redding, La Grande, Mcdford,
Reno and Ashland.
Tucker urges early purchase of
tickets.
WASHINGTON in America'
farm production was coaxed to
new heights during the war years.
Today it bestrides the delicate
field of foreign affairs like Frank
enstein's monster.
Butter, cheese, cotton, rice,
wheat these are unmentionables
In polite conversation with certain
of America's allies. And for very
grave reasons.
Dumping the huge U.S. surplus
in rice and cotton on the world
market, for example, could drive
Asia and the Near and Middle East
into the Communist camp.
Burma is the chief rice supplier
In Southeast Asia. If the United
States started shipping rice into
that area, the Burmese would be
outraced. perhaps driven Into trade
and tight liaison with rice-hungry
Red China. The lives and fortunes
spent to keep the Reds out of the
area would be lost and possibly
all of non-Communist Asia as well.
With cotton. It's principally
Egypt, although Mexico and Bra
7.11 are concerned too. The Egyp
tians are the world's champion
growers of fine long-staple cotton.
Pastor Honored
At Reception
LAKEVIEW Tnc Rev. David
St. George, new vicar of St. Luke
Episcopal Church, and Mrs. Si
George were honored at a rccep.
i Hon held on the lawn of the home
of Mr. and Mrs. M. w. HaiDison,
Sunday, from 4 to 6 p.m. More
than 125 guests attended.
Mrs. Robert Welch was chair
man of refreshments, assisted by
Mrs. Neal Elliott, Mrs. Jack Had
ford and Mrs. Barney Nunley. At
the punchbowl were Mrs. Ray
Harlnn, Mrs. O. E. A. Schuler
and Mrs. Cleve Snider.
Table decorations were arranged
by Mrs. Hugh Mercer and Mrs
James Arment who also provided
music.
' The former resident pastor. Dr.
N. H. Trasitt Jr.. and Mrs. Tragitt
Mr. and Mrs. Orvillc Boyd and
Mr. and Mrs. J. S. McVeagh. all
of Alturas, were among the guests.
MUTINEERS
KHARTOUM, Sudan iPl Mu
tineers In the Southern Sudanese
army who agreed last week to end
their revolt were reported in hid
ing Wednesday. A government
spokesman here said "there is no
news yet about the surrender."
Government troops reoccupied To
rit on the far Upper Nile Tuesday
and said the bulk of the rebels
had disappeared.
It Is practically the only thing they
export. Dumping the U.8. cotton
surplus into Egypt'a markets
would play havoc with Egypt's
economy.
Egypt is a key to Arab-Israeli
peace and to continued cold
shouldering of Communist at
tempts to muscle in on the Middle
East.
The milk-producing Scandina
vian countries might be alienated
If American dairy surpluses
showed up cheap on the world
market. The grain-growing Cana
dians never cease to fret that
America's billion-bushel wheat
surplus might be dumped.
How can this five-bllllon-dollar
of U.S. surpluses be- lamed before
it tramples Its owner s hard-won
foreign friendships?
The Eisenhower administration
Is reviewing the whole monumen
lal question at this time.
The warm wave flowing from
this summer's Geneva summit
conference might melt through the
East-West trade barriers and
thereby bring a solution, t
short run at least. Hardly a week
goes by that some member of
Congress doesn't propose selling
wheat to Russia or dropping It by
the bagloads on Red China.
Meanwhile, the government chips
away with the tools it hrs and
plans hopefully for the long haul.
Its chief tool for disposing of
farm surpluses abroad Is Public
Law 480. This permits their' sale,
barter or giveaway to "friendly
countries." Russia and Red China
are specifically barred. The law
would have to be changed to bring
them in.
As of last June 30 a total of
21 agreements Involving nearly 470
million dollars In goods had been

signed with 17 foreign governments
under this legislation. To avoid
dumping, the amounts are limited
and controlled.
A major provision Is that sales
may be made for foreign currency.
This money never reaches the
United States, however. It is sim
ply plowed back Into economic
development of the country, gift
of Uncle Sam. or used to pay off
U.S. bills, such as for troop camps
In Japan.
A Hoover Commission task force
took a swipe at a companion law
in a report made publio this
month. II complained:
"The earmarking of dollar aid
for surplus agricultural commodi
ties leads to the appearance if not
th rpalitv nf nrpssnrp nil reriniput
nnnnlrlpR tn tttltp Amerirnn sur- i
plus commodities.
"This is hard to distinguish
from dumping. In Its effect on
world prices, world trading rela
tions, and the distribution of agri
cultural production worldwide."
But officials who administer the
lev defend it as a way out of the
shortage of dollars abroad. They
see the long range solution lu
ultimately getting enough dollars
in the hands of foreign buyers so
they can pay the high price of
U.S. farm goods.
