To Review the Farm Program

President-elect Eisenhower's naming of an
interim Agricultural Advisory Committee is an
other step toward fulfilling his campaign pledges.
At Kasson, Minnesota, on September he told
an audience and the Nation, that he would
set up bipartisan Federal Agricultural Com
mission with power to review the policies and
administration of our farm program and to
make recommendations" The interim group,
some or all of whom may be renamed on the
proposed commission, will have the task of in
itiating this review and of consulting with Ezra
r. Benson, Secretary Of Agriculture designate,
in shaping the farm policies which will be fol-
lowed after January 20.
Headed by DR.. William I. Myers of Cornell
University, the new committee represents bus-
ness, professional and academic interests in
agricultural life. 1t is equally diversified on
geographic basis with representatives from all
sections of the country and virtually every type
of agricultural pursuit AS is the case with the
early cabinet designations, the timing of this
committees creation should contribute to the
orderliness and speed of the transition from one
administration to another.
The taeld of Government relationship with
agriculture is one that has recorded some Of the
most intensive social experimentation in the
past 20 years. and some of the most persistent
political pressures The Republicans, both in
their platform and in campaign speeches, made
it clear they were not advocating wholesale
abandonment of Government responsibility for
the farmers welfare, but they did emphasize
the desirahility of placing administration of
farm programs as closely as possible to State
and local levels.
1--WE denounce the administrations Use Of
=. multitude of agencies to put agriculture
under partisan political dictation and to make
the farmer dependent on Government" the
G. o. p. platform stated.
Judging by the heavy Republican vote in so
many farm States, the Republican pledges must
have struck a popular note and have been &C
cepted at their face value. The interim COM
mittee will have the first opportunity to translate
these promises into policy designed to protect
the interests of the farm community within
the larger framework of the national welfare.

ductor on the Pennsy, when he COM
pleted his New York to Washington run.
He reminded me that the Christmas
season is wonderful. "You know" he
said. "this time of year makes man
glad to be alive. I forget all the gripes
of overbearing riders and unpleasant in
cidents that we encounter throughout
the year. Christmas changes all that.
People are happy-they put up with in
conveniences on crowded trains; they
are congenial, polite and considerate of
the man on the job and his respon-
sibilities."

they be that way all the time?

in two sports at the East Broad
street school from 1914 to 1948.
Big Jim (he's 6'::41z", weighs 220)
became the first pitcher in the
Journeys six year history to hurl
three wins.
O'Neill opened the double-elim-
ination playoffs with a brilliant
five hit performance against West
ern Michigan as the Crusaders
won handily, 81. Then, after HC
had absorved its first defeat - a
10 thriller with Missouri - Jim
came back Sunday the 18th to
scatter nine hits of the same West
ern Michigan team as the Crusad-
ers nounded out a 1873 victory.
This, together with 15-4 win
over Penn State-pitched by Jack
lie Lonergan-narrowed the field
down to two teams. Holy Cross
and Missouri. A single win over
the Crusaders would have meant
the title for the Tigers-but the
Crusaders, with their back to the
wall-took both games and became
national champs.

Title Game

Jim pitched the final game of
the tournament steady Sd vic
tory over the Tigers-and immedi-
ately afterwards was named the
most valuable player by sports
writer's who covered the affair.
Thus, out of six games played
by the Crusaders, Jim pitched
three, going the route in every
one and allowing a total of only
eight runs.
O'NeilPs record this year, in
cluding his tourney wins, was a
whopping 10-1. During the last
two years he has hung up % wins
as against only four losses.
During his high school days at
st. Charles, Jim hung up an out
standing record as an all-around
athlete. Twice-in his junior and
senior years-he pitched the Card
inals to the finals of the Central
District "a" tournament, only to
lose out in the final game. Both
were heartbreaking losses-one to
Columbus Central and the other to
Upper Arlington.
ONeill tossed at least four no
hitters while hurting for st. Char
