Representative Short, Republi-

the other day that wives of men,
bers of Congress deserve the

drawn by wives Of Government
workers. Members of Congress
are covered under the civil serv-
ice retirement act, but their
wives are not entitled to widows

II hope we will reach the

In this, he was seconded by

such legislation. Mr.. Miller said

Three Groups Asked
To Poll Farmers on
Issues Facing Benson
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son yesterday called for a grass
roots" poll of farmers on how the
Government should tackle the
problems of declining farm in
come, shrinking exports and
mounting crop surpluses.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation, the National Grange,
and the National Farmers Union
were asked to take such a poll
between July / and December 81.
Results would be laid before
Congress when it starts writing
new farm legislation next year.
Sees SurpluSes Created.
Mr.. Benson has declared in
recent speeches that present farm
programs are mot good enough"
He said they create surpluSes,
price United States farm prod
uctS out of markets and threaten
government regimentation OF
farmers.
The poll taking was placed in
the hands of two friendly farm
groups and one that has been
hostile. Officials of the Farm Bu-
reau and the Grange have gen.
orally applauded Secretary Ben
sons criticism Of present pro-
grams, but the Farmers Union
has defended them.
A Benson aide said the Farm
Bureau and the Grange have ac-
cepted Mr.. BenSon'S bid for aid
in getting the farm viewpoint, but
the Farmers Union has not yet
done so.
Brannan Review Recalled.
The suggested poll is a counter
part to a Farm Family Policy
Review" which former Secretary
of Agriculture Brannan made two
years ago through the depart
ment's own field agencies.
That poll, which turned up
generally favorable comment for
present programs and for some
new policies advanced by Mr..
Brannan, drew sharp criticism
from some farm groups, particu-
larIy officials of the Farm Bu-
reau, and political foes Of Mr..
Brannan in Congress.

by the first Of next year. Federal
employe groups are hopeful q
favorable committee attitude to-
ward jobless benefits for Govern
ment workers will lead to action
by Congress next year to bring
this about.
The committee informed the
AFL Government Employees
Council, which asked to be heard.
that it would have a chance to
present its case sometime next
month.
The council feels action is
needed this year to aid the many
thousands of Federal workers
who are losing their jobs in the
various economy programs. Real
izing, however, that enactment
this year is impossible, the
council wants to make sure that
Congress acts next year.
The council pointed out that
reductions in Government en-
ploye annual leave benefits dur
ing the past few years had
greatly lessened the amount Of
terminal leave pay that Govern
ment workers could draw. Term
inal leave payments are the only
financial cushion against un-
employment that Federal workers
have, the council declared.
In urging jobless benefits for
Federal workers, the council de-
clared:
"Unemployed Federal workers
are entitled to the same consider
alton as those in private industry
when deprived of their liveli-
hood through no fault of their
own. The communities in which
Federal workers live and the
businesses dependent upon their
purchasing power are equally
entitled to consideration. If

Holds Strategic Position.
Despite House Republican lead
ership predictions that the COM
mittee will report out and
Congress will pass an excess
profits tax extension bill before
June 80, Mr.. Red admittedly
holds a strategic parliamentary
position.
Much depends on support he
obtains from IA fellow Repub-
licans on the committee and
even more so on the attitude oi
the 10 Democratic members.
Unofficial polls have indicated
that a total of at least 13 Re-
publicans and Democrats on the
25-member committee would
vote to report out an extension
bill If they voted. The problem
from the administrations stand
point, is to have the committee
meet and vote under normal
parliamentary procedure and
without creating future trouble
within the committee majority
or with party progress in the
House on other tax legislation.
Can Request Session.
Any three members of the
committee could request the
chairman to call a meeting. If
he failed to do so within seven
days, a majority of the commit
tee could force such action.
House Democrats have been
significantly silent since the
public hearings were arranged
two weeks ago at the request of
Republican administration lead
ers. 1t is known, however, that
most Democrats on the commit
tee will refuse to support any
move by Republicans to compel
the chairman to call a meeting
Several Democratic members
said or indicated they probably
would vote to report out an ex-
tension bill. But they made
equally clear that they would not
join the Republicans in a pre-
liminary parliamentary device
to bail out" the administration
Reed Pushes Tax Cut.
Meanwhile, Chairman Reed be-
lieves chances are growing
brighter for his drive-long
blocked in the Rules Committee
to obtain a House vote on the in
come tax reduction measure.
Less than 80 OF a necessary 218
signatures have thus far been
put on his petition to pry the

nevertheless repeatedly feels that
if the excess profits tax dies on
schedule June 30. by Ways and
Means Committee inaction or
otherwise, there will be a rush of
signatures to bring out his bill

In his statement at the final

Reed declared that elimination

at the end Of this month would

or fiscal stability. He repeated

Crobeross Shows
In Area Lawns

CrabgraSS, perennial prob
lem for the home -owner striving
to have a good lawn, is making
it's appearance. There are many
chemical preparations sold to
control crabgrass, but the best
method is to take good care of
the lawn and take advantage Of
the weak points in the growth
habits of crabgrass. say agro-
nomists at the University Of
Maryland.
Chemical crabgraSS killers such
as 2,4-D, phenyl mercury acetate
and potassium cyanate can be
effective if applied now, when
crabgrass is still young. These
materials are sold under various
trade names and should be ap-
piled according to manufac-
turers' directions.
Few, if any. chemical prepara-
tions will control mature crab
grass without seriously injuring
desirable sod grasses, the agron-
omists point out.
Even when chemical controls
successfully eradicate crabgrass,
it is still necessary@to use good
management practices to main
tain a good sod of desirable
grasses.
Some of the steps in promot-
ing a healthy lawn are:
Fertilize and lime in the fall
or early spring when crabgrasS
isn't growing. Don't apply or
ganic nitrogen fertilizers, since
they are slow in becoming avail
able to the lawn and may serve
to aid the growth of crabgrass,
rather than the desirable grasses.
When growth of the desirable
grasses is promoted by fertilizer
applications, crabgrass has less
of chance.
Use care in watering crab
grass-infested lawns. Frequent

Berries and Grapes
Need Spraying

Raspberires and grapes should
be sprayed when new growth
appears, to prevent destruction
of the foliage by insects and
diseases.
Plant pathologists at VPI say
the first spray for these home
fruits should be applied about
one week before the blossoms
open. On grapes, the spray
should be repeated Immediately
after blooming is over. On rasp-
berries. repeat the spray just
after harvest. Do not spray rasp-
berries while the fruit is forming.
To assure Worm-free grapes,
spray again just before the ber-
ries touch in the cluster. Use
DDT and a ferbam fungicide or
bordeaux mixture, or a CONNER
cial all-purpoSe spray.
