nil Mm mm m 1 I a1- r In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Yesterday, in Washington, Presi dent, Eisenhower met with GOF leaders to discuss the administra tion's domestic policies. The ad ministration's domestic policies will provide the framework of the platform wnich will be the Repub lican party's bid for votes m the Paesidcnlial campaign year of 1956. The dispatches report that Hit. 1 farm problem GOT TOP BILLING' l AT THE CONFERENCE. Tile GOP ji leaders were pretty well agreed 'X that something drasllc will b.ave to be done to' win the farm vote ! or the Republican parly will be I in a pickle. j i That raises this question: ilA 1 1 0 DO? J, L Several weeks ajjo. Congressman 1 Harris Ellsworth, representing the' ! Fourth congressional district ot ' Oregon, asked himself this same ., iiursuon. iiyiug 10 answer it in- leiligemly, lie discovered that he didn't know what ought 10 be done. I Eo he decided to a,-, it the tanner ni his district what they thought .. ooout n. Ke at.ked them these uucsvions: Which in your opinion rcpre&entb ...he SOUNDEST agricultural pro 1 gram: 1. High, rigid price supports foi basic crops coupled wiUi produc v lion controls? 2. Flexible price t.upporU as ad ivocated by the present administra tion? ;'(: 3. NO price supports, permitting agricultural commodities to find V their own level in the market? t n ' When the replies came in. they cave him quite a jolt of surpiise. Here, percentagewise, is how the Fourth congressional' district farm scrs who answered his queslion . na lie voted: FOR No. 1 13.1 per cent f FOR No. 2.., -,.39.4 per cent i FOR No. 3.. 47.5 per cent That is to say: ui ine r AKAir-KS who rcpuca p'hii 01 procenure in tne council s .to Congressman EllsW'orlh's ques- voting. , lions, only 1S.1 per cent preier Tsiaiifr challenged Cie Western ' rigid high supports for basic crops, procedure as a "total surrender i coupled with production contiolsJ t0 the dictates of the Soviet Un Flexible price supports, as pro-lion" :posed by Secretary of Agriculture Bvnson and embodied in the pres. .cut law, are preferred by 38.4 per cent. ! NO pniCE SUPPORT, pi-uniting- agricultural commodiiics to lind their own level in the market. Is preferred by 47.5 per cent. Here's how: the city folks voted- , KOR No. 1., 6.S per cent ' fOR No. 2.. ....54.3 per cent ' ," FOR No. 3 39.0 per' cent -f The city people, you sec. are 9 ivmpathetic with the tanner's plight, and aie alraid he might v ', not be able to gel alon without ::AKY support at ail. But they haven't much use for the rigid staggering surpluses to hang over the markets of the future like a dark thundercloud. They KNOW -that is baa. . Realizing that the farmer's situa tion since the war has been a Jugged one. they are willing lo pay their share of the cost of 'flexible supports. : Eut: nearly half of the Oregon farmers who replied lo Congiess- nan Ellsworth's questionnaire arc clear in their minas on this busi ness of subsidized farming. i They'd rather take their clwwwe; in the open market. .

Tsiang spoke as the H-naiion Se curity Council headed to'vard a vote. WITHOUT OEBATE Without further debate, the coun cil overrode Tsiang's objections and approved the voting plui prev iously accepted by Russia and the Western powers. The vote was 8 to 1 (China! with the United S'ates and Belgium abstain;:!'; The council then voied 8-2 to adjourn until 3 p.m. v;licn voting was scheduled to begin.' The Chinese delegate appealed to all delegates' "to muster ,euouh courage to stand up to the Soviet Union." He spoke alter Soiet deleexle Arkady A.

The Western 'voting plan called , for separate Security Cuuncil voles on each of the 18 applicants and then a final vote on of them as a group. This wouid make It possible to block the admission ol all applicants if the preliminary voting did not satisfy a.l the five periiianene powers who have the veto power. The U. N. Political Committee, meanwhile, brought the Assembly closer to its adjournment goal. It gave a thumping 53-5 indorsement last night to a proposal to give President Eisenhower's "open; sky inspection plan priority in tle'w dlsalmamet negotiations. Only the Soviet bloc opposed the 1 resolution sponsored bv the United ! States. Britain. France -and Can ada.
