FARMERS ASSISTED
IN MAKING RECORDS

Madison county farmers were
assisted in study of farm account
records by Lyle Barnes, OSU
Farm Management Extension
Specialist at the London High
School agriculture department
Tuesday. They were also aided
in preparing income tax returns.
Barnes explained that accurate
farm records are the most inn
portant activity the farmer could
have in that every $1.OOs worth
of expense he failed to record
would mean zoe out of his pocket
for tax. He also gave a summary
of the university farm account
books sent into his office last
year for state analysis.

a little crime increases. Local

HUNGER
The reactions to hunger are
strange and varied. The Army

that people are inclined to

NeeIy Seeks Action
On D. {. Rent Control
| Before End OF Week

Chairman Neely of the Senate
District Committee will seek Sen
ate action before the end Of this
week on extension of Washington
rent controls to next January 81
The seven-month plan, leaving
to Congress next January the de-
cision on a. possible further con-
tinuation to June 80, 1851, was
reported without objection yester-
day by the Senate District Com
mittee.
It may provoke a fight by Sen
ator Cain. Republican, of WASH
ington. since the bill, similar to a
District bill awaiting House ac-
ton next Monday, would extend
controls here a month longer than
the Six-montn plan agreed to by
House-Senate conferees on the
National bill.
Senator Cain warned late yes
terday he planned to make a
strong and lengthy" protest
against a seven-month extension
for Washington. But he said he
wanted to confer, with Senator
Nicely on this issue.
He had agreed earlier that he
would hot speak for more than 80
minutes against continuation of
District rent controls, if the city
bill followed the pattern set in
the Senate's national bill, for six
months more of controls, plus an
added six months If ordered by
local governing bodies over the
country.
Senator Cain raised the point
yesterday that he had been ire
leased" from his commitment not
to f1libuster against the District
rent bill. now that a seven-month,
instead Of a six-month, extension
was recommended. But he made
no clear declaration he would un-
dertake a "filibuSter," similar to
the 12-hour marathon talk he
made recently against the ma
tional measure.
The House District Committee
last week, and the corresponding
body Of the Senate yesterday, pro-
posed a severi-month straight
extension Of controls here because
the National Capital has no au-
tonomous local government that
could decide next December the
issue of second six-month con-
tinuationS.
Since Congress itself is Wash
ington's "city council" the House
and Senate District Committees
reserved this decision to Congress.
An extra month was added, off,
cials explained. because the pres
ent Congress will not be here next
December, and the 82d Congress,
next January, will need a
couple weeks to organize.
Senator Cain indicated he
would accept a six-month local
rent control extension, if the oues-
ton Of further six months of
controls was left to the Commits
Sioners.
District Chairman Neely said he
would talk with Senate leaders
and other members about the sit
uation, but maintained hope of
action this week despite the Sen
ate's crowded calendar.
The House was expected to act
today on the House con-
ference report on the national
rent control question.
