0'DanieI Sees U. 5. Goinq
Socialist or Communist
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator O'Daniel, Democrat, of
Texas said today in a farewell-to-
Washington statement that one of
the reasons behind his decision not
to seek another term is that he "can
see slight hope of saving our Nation
from going entirely Socialistic or
Communistic."
There are less than a dozen men
in the United States Senate" he
added, who consistently vote to
maintain the American form Of
Government willed to us by our
forefathers. This was the form OF
Government we had until 1882. The
only way, as I see it, to prevent ou,
Government going the way Of all
great nations of the past is for the
people to conduct a thorough house
cleaning in Washington.
One of the main reasons for my
not running for reelection is thu
j fact that I consider 10 years of o
mans life generous contribution
to public service. In fact, I believe
every elected Federal official should
be limited to one term of not NOR.

Lack Of Storage Space
Threatens Big Slash in
Grain Farm Income
By The Assoeiuisd Press

A serious shortage of grain
storage space threatens farmers
with the loss of several hundred
million dollars in income this
year. @ &C.. Il
The Agriculture Department esti-
mates the storage shortage at up
ward of 1000, ,000, 900 bushels. It is
most acute in the Corn Belt, where
a stupendous crop of $500, ,000, 600
bushels of this grain alone Is near
ing the harvest stage.
Officials said farmers are likely to
suffer losses from deterioration of
grain and . drop in market prices
below levels promised by the Gov
ernment's support program.
Grain Must Be Stored.
A farmer can get the benefit Of
the support program for grain only
If he has it stored safely. This help
Is in the form of loans and agree
ments to buy the grain next year.
If he cannot get commercial stor-
age or does not have acceptable
facilities on his farm, the grower is
out of luck so far rs price support
aid is concerned.
His only alternative may be to
sell his grain on the market at q
price below the support level. Some
grain experts predict corn soon will
sell from IS to IS cents = bushel
below the support price of about
$145 a bushel.
The vastness of the storage prob
lem can be measured by the fact
that this years indicated produc-
ton of grains Is l $50, 600, 900 bushels
larger than last year and 1,275, ,00O,-
900 larger than the average for the
past 10 years.
Building Not Sufficient.
And the building of storage facil-
tiles has not kept pace with the
sharp gain in production.
Right now the problem of storing
the grain rests principally on the
farmer. But next year it may be
shifted to the Government itself. 1t
is possible that some 00,000 900
bushels of grain stored under 194S
price support loans will be turned
over to the Government when those
loans fall due next year.
The farmer has the privilege Of
delivering the grain to the Govern
ment as full payment for his loan.
He usually does this when the mar
ket price is at or below the support
level
Can Store 50,0OO,0 900 Bushels.
Of1icials say they do not know
what the Government would do with
the grain. 1t has storage facilities of
its own for only about $4,000, 900
bushels.
The last Congress took away from
the department previously exercised
authority to set up its own storage
facilities.
Officials said 1t may be necessary
to ask the next Congress to return
that authority.

recruitment methods.
present chaotic recruitment methods.
The Government has never needed
trained scientists more than it
does today. Federal officials say
the progress of the national defense
program and atomic energy research
depends great deal on the Govern
ment's ability to get the needed
scientific personnel.
There also Is talk of working
out plans to recruit directly from
universities the outstanding science
students when they graduate. And,
of course. it would also help greatly
if The Federal pay scale were revised
upward SO the Government could
compete to better advantage with
private industry in getting adequate
scientific personnel.

Soviet Warmongering

"SISLAW, fOldnQ, Aug. T.-A
New Yorker accused Russian dele

tellectuals today of warmongering
and responsibility in falsely at
tacking the United States.
DR.. Bryn Hovde, director of the
New School of Social Research in
New York, spoke after the Rus

not of peace"
Bitter Attacks Answered.
DR.. Hovde, one of "a American
delegates, answered bitter attacks on
the United States by Russian Nov
elist Alexander Fadiejev and others,
He deplored the stream of Russian
1nvective against Americans in the
congress, which was advertised as
in defense of peace"
He said Russian charges that the
United States seeks world domina- =
ton are untrue. He denied also
that the European aid program has
sinister designs. He said America
is not perfect, but added:
we in America do not think
that everything is perfect in the
Soviet Union. We do not for one
moment change our personal free
dom for the control of opinion and
expression that we know to be the
basis of political power in Soviet
Russia. We want no secret police
knocking at our doors. We want no
labor camps for political prisoners. "
