Washington leaves usas it must other Americans more than a little confused Confused, puzzed-and worried It is impossible to arrive at any reasonably accurate definition American military strength from their statements, re-read them, says the Gin cinnah Enquirer
 One gains confidence when he goes the tes- tmony of Admiral sherman, Chief of Naval Opera tons. He told the Senators that the Navy was ready for any emergency which might arise. He told of a steadily increasing power; estimated that the Navy was in better shape than at any time since it said new faster and sturdier naval planes being developed Soon we'll have carrier-based fighters which will far surpass Russias best-so far as we know-the famed MIG-15. The Admiral felt that Americas mighty production capabilities, well her armed strength was discouraging any Russian plan to start a new world conflict.
 All this makes fellow feel pretty good But when he goes over the transcript of Gen. Hoyt Van- denberg, Chief of the Air Force, he must feel quams of uncertainty True, General Vanderberg did hold at one point in his testimony, that the Air Force is Americas big stick" in military potential But later on he referred the combat units "shoestring;" insisted that the big stick might be reduced to a feeble wand" if present trends continue Then, ap- parently reversing himself he told committee the Air Force could deliver such devastating blows, called upon that Russian industrial production would be virtually eliminated.
 Between General Vandenberg and Admiral Sher man stands General Bradley, who seems to blow both and cold Sometimes he appears confident of the forces under his command. At others he seems ex- tremely fearful of any program which might possibly lead to war with the Soviet ges5 stE& q
 We who hear and read about these diverse opinions naturally are at loss to understand. We'd like to know the full and complete story. And we have right to know-for the billions which are going into military production and organization are our dollars they being well spent? Our Chiefs of Staff seem as confused that point as are we.

KLIhES ATTACK BACkFIRES; BRANNAN WINNING fight
WITH FARM BUREAU CHIEF

Secretary of Agriculture Charles F
Brannan appears to have scored g
resounding victory over a man who
once thought he was going to have
Brannan's job, Allan B. Kline, re-
dictionary head of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
Newspapers in Washington and
elsewhere report ha t farmers

showing a. great interest in the de-

view," despite Efforts of Kline and
his henchmeneto smear the effort and
to get farmers to stay away from
the ''review" meetings.
Aim of the review is to learn, from
the farmers themselves, what they
think Of the various agricultural pro-
grams in their behalf and what could
be done to improve them.
The Washington "Post" declared
that Kline may have walked into a
political trap when he launched
full-scale war on the survey even be-
fore Brannan had put it into motion"
Instead of harming Brannan, the
attack h a s boomeranged against
Kline, the "Post" pointed out. The
grass roots farmers are going along
with the survey, and in some states
units of the Farm Bureau have ap-
proved it, despite Kline's opposition.
Also many big newspapers, hereto
fore champions of Kline, are taking
barbs at him. For example, the Des

that some farm owners are now
charging the Farm Bureau "really
wants to block any attempt to help
the small farmer"
Meantime, out in North Dakota,
the Farmers Union of that state,
in its official paper, revealed that
the Farm Bureau had enlisted the
aid of the u. S. Chamber of Com
merce and the American Bankers
Association to sabotage the re-
view"
However, even that coalition has
failed to stop small farmers from
participating and making their wants
known as guide to the Department
of Agriculture.
Results of the survey will show, the
Dakota Farmers Union paper pre-
dicted, that "Mr. Kline and his top
payrollers do not speak for the mil
lions of farmers who, he claims, be-
long to the Farm Bureau"
Kline does speak accurately for

his organization, but not for the

Of the total loan volume, 6,343, ,021

When the 1850 support program

had secured loans on 18,386,004 bush

January 81, 1852 to secure loans or

applying makes it seem certain that
last years loan volume will be sub

A total of $24,363,340 has been

Barley loans are valued at 1892, ,493;
beans, $4,000; flaxseed, $1,17O;

FARMERS BOUGHT l6 PER CENT OF PETROLEUM
PRODUCTS They USED FROM C0-0PS In 1850

WASHINGTON, D. ca million
farmers last year bought over IA
billion gallons of fuel through their
co-operatives, or about 16 per cent
of all liquid petroleum fuels used
on farms in the United States. This
information is contained in Circular
C-139, petroleum Operations of
Farmers Co-operatives, prepared by
the Farm Credit Administration of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Co-operatives distributed about
Ill million pounds of grease in 1850,
or about 10 per cent of farm needs
They also handled that year about
Is million gallons of liquified pc
troleum gas. Total retail sales were
estimated at $500 million.
The study shows that by the end
of 1850, approximately 2,230 local
co-operatives handled liquid petrol
cum products. They had 1855 bulk
plants, 1900 service stations, and S.

WHEAT LOAN VOLUME In MONTANA DOUBLES
WITHIN A YEAR, REPORTS STATE PIMA

By the end of October, Montana
farmers had placed more than twice
as much wheat under government
price support loan as they had at a
comparable time last year. Led by this
increased use of the wheat loan pro-
gram, the total of all 1951-crop
grains placed under loan on October
81 was approximately two-thirds of
the total quantity of grain placed
under support last year, Production
and Marketing Administration of
ficials say.
The tremendously increased quanti-
ty of wheat under loan this year,
PIMA spokesmen feel, is due to a COM
bination of this years near-record
crop and market prices generally be-
low the loan rate thus far during
the period for securing loans or pur-
chase agreements. The story on bar
ley is almost the reverse. Relatively
little barley has been placed under
loan this fall reflecting smaller
crop and a market equal to or above
the support level.
On October 81, Montana farmers
had secured 8,597 loans, including
1891 on wheat with the remainder
divided among among barley, oats,
flaxseed, sweetclover and dry beans.
These loans covered 12,658,223, bush

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
In his final public statement before
returning to Iran, Premier Mohammed ID
Mossadegh told a capacity audience
of top newspapermen here of his
determination that his country will
go it alone.
Part of a three-point program for
Iran, he said called for operation of
the nationalized oil industry by the
people themselves.
He said Iran already has started to
operate the Adaban refinery under
program of limited production.
"Our Iranian oil experts are compe-
tent enough to produce the same
amount of crude oil from the wells
as previously has been done by the
Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.," Mossadegh
said. "And provided the marketing
difficulties are removed, we can place
large quantities of crude oil on sale.

yearly capacity, which is more than
