and otherwise administering Federal
farm programs: choosing conserva-
ton practices for which Federal as
sistance is offered in Columbus

the funds available for meeting ag-
ricultural conservation needs; and
handling price-support operations.
Since the committeeman are re-
sponsible for developing, adapting.

James F. Byrnes' Stuttgart speech,
declared today Poland's western
frontier already was fixed and the
Big Three was committed to it by
acceptance of the evacuation OF
Germans from territories taken
over by Poland.
The Soviet statesman issued the
statement through the Polish news
agency. He singled out Byrnes'
declaration at Stuttgart that the
western frontiers Of Poland still
were to be decided, and said the
frontiers were set at Potsdam.
For more than a year, he said,
the frontier has, run from Swine
muende in the north along the line
of the Oder river and the western
Niesse river. During that time, he
added, more than 1000, 900 Ger
mans were evacuated, more than
half of them being transferred to
the British zone.
WHO would have thought that
this evacuation of Germans might
have been considered as a temper
