Family Farms
tNew York Times)

New York Times
 Many students of rural sociology and agricultural economics have insisted that the traditional family farmstead was the strongest and most desirable type of farming in democratic society, This point of view has received powerful support in the recent report from the Senate Small Business Committee The committees conclusion, after a survey of two typical California towns, is that the small farm is better than large holdings both fer farm families and the communities in which they live.
 The committee, headed by Senator Murray made a detailed study of town which is the center of smal-sized family operated farms and second town. which surrounded by large farming organizations The two towns chosen because they eXemplified two distinct methods of farming The report was prepared by pr. Walter R. Cioldschmidt of the Uni verSity of California. It reveals significant points Each of the communities produced approximately 2500 GOO worth of products year But the small farm community not only supported more persons for each dollar of production but provided better stand ard of living than did the town of big commercalized farming The physical facilities for pleasant living streets sidewalks schools, churches paygroundS and public services greater in the towns of small farms. The corporate farm community had popula- ton with relatively few persons of economic stability.
 It is inevitable that the increasing mechanza- holdings The farm implement companies, however, developing machinery to fit the needs of family farms As Senator Murray commented on the differ ences between the two communities studied the re- suits sufficiently great too affirm the belief that small farms bear very important relation to the character of American rural society

STRANGE SENATE BED
 FELLOWS

To Capital insiders who have watched the never ending battles over public power there's very familiar strain to the current whoop- and -holler over the con- firmation of VIVA Chairman David Lilienthal as chief oi the Atomic Energy Commission.
 The battle against Lilienthal fol- lows closely the pattern of the fiqht against IVA itself, when pri- vate power moguls were alarmed hy the threat of cheap rates to their industry as they are today by the threat of atomic energy They know that atomic energy can put all electric power out of busi- ness and they dent want a man in the saddle whom they can't con- trol.
 During the old IVA battle, as now, Lilienthal's public power phil osophy was prime issue Then as now, red herrings were dragged across the floor of Congress. with the same individuals, led by arti- culate COP Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, dragging them.
 Il you fold back the Congressi3n- al Record few years to 193840, the story repeats itself like a crack cd photograph record.
 Senator Bridges set himself up as one-man grand jury to investi- gate the IVA and it's directors, in- cluding Lilienthal He spent a whole vacation probing the Government power program and filled the re- cord with vocal thunder One speech. on Jan 18, 1888, in which the New Hampshire Senator charg- ed that IVA betrayed it's trust, ran nine pages of small type
 There is only one notable dis crepancy between acts I and II of Bridges war on Lilienthal Piston lawed Senator Kenneth McKellar Of Tennessee, who is solidly teamed with Bridges now supported the IVA in the l938- 40 battles. You al- most have to read it to believe it, but McKeilar, who has waged an unparalleled mud-smearing vendet- ia against Lilienthal and the IVA in the last few years, actually ac- cused Bridges in l940 of trying to throw dirt on the IVA"

 of the total national budget; in case Of the

 An important qualification is that not only are educational enterprises aided by State subSldy ana their property protected by the State, but all public and private educational institutions ill the country shall, in accordance with law be subject to State supervision" This may of lend itself to various Yet the interesting fact remains that Chinas educational advancement is financially pro- vided such specific form that local or district governments all units must apporon more than thMd of each annual budget to that end In this respect among others the Republics leaders have an under standing eye on the future.

 George Johnson is also the man who helped rush a special law through Congress benefiting only one alcohol plant in the country his Farm Crops Processing Corpor- ation. This is the company in which Senator Hugh Buffers old partner holds stock, and Butler rushed the bill through the Senate to ohlige his friends and partner. It is one of the few pieces of le3is- lation passed by the Republicans since they controlled Congress.
 Although busy as an alcohol dis tiller, Johnson also had time to put across a unique deal with the Pub lie Works Administration. That agency had liens ol over S43.000, coo on three Nebraska power projects the Loup, Central Nebraska and Platte Valley Districts.

WAL STREET COMES FIRST

And despite these prior liens, Jchnscn was so persuasive that he induced PWA counsel Allen John stone to waive these liens ill favor of the Wall Street firm of B. J. Van 1ngen which is putting up sl0.- 0o0,000 to build a steam plant. Thus the bonds issued by Van Ingen will have first lien on the gross receipts of the Nebraska Power District, and the s43,000,000 of Government bonds, which previously had first lien, will come second.
 George has been lobbying on this ever since last May, but he has now finally put it across.
 Most interesting phase of this transaction is that it was not sub mitted to or approved by Comptrol- Ter General Lindsay Warren. Under the law, as interpreted by other Government attorneys, no one eX- cept the Comptroller General has the authority to settle, adjust or compromise claim held in favor ol the United States"
 However this is not the only ac- comphshmen. of Nebraska's skill full George Johnson lie also per suaded Senator Kenneth Winery to tack a rider on another bill in the last session of Congress reducing the interest on public works bonds from 4 to 2i4 percent This reduc- ton is not unfair but il was ob- tained by unfair means-a rider on

Cleaning Coat Collar

If the wool collar on a dark coat
needs cleaning, lay the coat on a
table with the inside open and fiat.
Then brush the collar to remove
loose dust. After moistening a piece
of dark wool cloth with cleaning
fluid, sponge the soiled part with
light brushing motions. Several light
applications will do a better job
than too much fluid used at once.
Next, pat dry the material with a
dry wool cloth and finally, brush the
wool with a medium-soft brush.
