Tuesday, Dee. 15, lflofl Police Begin Smog Assault SACRAMENTO U.'PIt - High way patrolmen armed with litlle pieces of cardboard will begin a crackdown on smog-producing ve hicles Feb. 15. Gov. Edmund G. Brown said today that (he cardboard was a smoke densily measuring device Patrolmen will use it, he said, as part of a campaign to remove "visible smoke and oily soot from busses and trucks." The cardboard, called a Iiingcl mann smoke chart, looks like a striped donut. The stripes ranse in color from light gray to black. A patrolman lets smoke pass through the center hole then matches it with colors on the Chart. If the smok matches a medium shade of gray or darker, the vehicle is breaking the law Brown said he had asked truck ing and bus firms to bring their vehicles up to standards set by existing slate law before patrol men begin the crackdown. "No one should anticipate that this will make much of a dent in the smog problem," Brown said. But he added that "any lessening of pollution helps." "DENNIS THE MENACE" WHATTA YA READINGS WILSON?

Rockefeller on his current visit to the Middle West, Southwest and South. By REL.MA.N MORIN MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller headed into Wisconsin today after urging, in a major sncech on farm policy that t0 million acres of land be taken out of agricultural cultiva tion. "The chief problem of the low income farmers," he said, "is poverty." Rockefeller is making a swing through the Middle West. He says the purpose is to "register impres sions", which will help him decide whether to try for the Republican nomination for president in 1:m;o In the first three days of the trip, he visited Indiana, Missouri, and Minnesota in all of which Vice President Richard M. Nixon is considered to have the support of most Republican leaders for the nomination. The governor chose Minneapolis as the spot to deliver his views on the way to solve the farm prob lem. "The farmers are dissatisfied," he said. "The taxpayers are up ,n arms. And we have bigger sur pluses hanging over the market than ever before. I think the time has come to take a fresh look." He outlined a four-point program: 1. Long-term rental of farms by the federal government. 2. "Stabilization supports based on production costs and net in come factors under modern ag ricultural conditions." 3. ''Vigorous" market develop ment for farm products. 4. A job-opporl unity program "for farmers who want to shift Newcomers' Club Christmas party, 7:30 p.m. December 17, at the Lamas Room of the Wineii',1 Hotel for members of the Wel come Wagon Newcomers' Club Gifts for exchange should not be priced higher than $1.

He divided the farm population into three groups and devoted most of his speech to two, whom he called "commercial farmers, and "low income farmers." The first group, he said, is com posed of 2.1 million families who produce 90 per cent of the market ed crops. The second numbers, 1.2 million families who produce less than 10 per cent of the total crops "Trying to help both groups with a single approach based on price supports has not solved the problem for either group," he said. "The recent compromise: between high, fixed supports and more flexible supports has not solved the problem, either." Rockefeller said another 1.5 mil lion families are rural residents or part-time farmers. He did not go into detail on what he would consider the proper and most efficient "stabilization supports." On his major point, federal land rental, he said "I recommend that as a start we double these land rental programs by putting at least 60 million acres of our farm land to such uses as reforestation and conservation." Rockefeller said there are about 450 million acres now under cul tivation. The rental plan, he said, would be cheaper than federal subsidies. He said it would put the land into relorestation, wildlife and fishery preserves, and make it available for recreation. Rockefeller made the proposals in a speech before well over 1,000 guests at a Junior Chamber of Commerce dinner in Minneapolis. Some called it "definitive" and "scmething that needed to be dis cussed openly." Others, however, said they saw 'nothing new in the proposals Earlier in the day. Rockefeller again startled Republicans by his crowd appeal and ability to whip up enthusiasm for the party. As in Indiana and Missouri, he drew big audiences, stirred ringing ap plause, and won friends. In St. Paul, a GOP leader looked at a jammed luncheon crowd, noted standees lining the walls, and the four auxiliary dining rooms opened to handle the over Mow and said one word "fantas tic!" Mrs. Thomas Ludlow, president of the organization sponsoring the luncheon, said she, personally, lound the governor so charming "1 didn't have time to eat my lunch. I was too busy listening to him." Rockefeller also received prom ises of support if he tosses his hat into the presidential ring. A group of Minnesota businessmen told him they have an organiza tion reminiscent of the Eiscn-hower-for President clubs of 1952 and "are ready to go" if he says the word. Another Republican reported that Rockefeller made a "deep impression on a group of bus inessmen and party workers who visited him in his hotel. "Frankly, they came expecting to meet a wild-haired liberal who would give everybody's money away," he said. "But he sold him self completely when they talked with him." Appearing before the Swedish- American Institute, an organiza-; lion of Minncsotans of Scandin avian origin, Rockefeller told anecdotes about his son's mar riage, last summer, to Anne-Marie Rasmussen, a Norwegian. He had the audience rocking with laughter and a roar of applause rose when he said, "I know I owe the honor ol being invited here to Anne Marie." He scheduled two full days in Wisconsin, a stale so important politically that it is often called "the graveyard of candidates." Like the other stales he has visited it is considered a Nixon strong hold. Rockefeller's strategists have advised him not to enter the cru cial Wisconsin primary if or when he announces for the GOP presidential nomination. 24 Main "HIS" Men'i Toiletries & Sers $1.00 to $5.00 CURRIN'S DRUGS In The Village Court 840 Main SHOP NOW AND SAVE During LUCAS' Big December STOREWIDE SALE!
