party loyalty may .re-open
wounds among Democrats who
split in the 1852 election when
President Eisenhower carried the
State.
Judge Albert v. Bryan of
Alexandria Federal Court heard
last Friday a plea by Mr.. Green
for an injunction to require State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick of
Arlington, chairman of the COM
mittee. to certify him as a candi-
date in the July 13 primary.
Judge Bryan took the case under
adviSement.
Three Judges Named.
This week, at the request of
Judge Bryan, Chief Judge John
j. Parker of the fourth circuit
named three judges. including
Judge Bryan, to hear the case.
Also appointed were Judge Sterl-
ing Hutcheson of Richmond and
Judge Armistead M. Dobie of
Charlottesville.
Judge Bryan had said at Fri
days hearing that if Mr.. Green
were attacking constitutionality
| of State law, it would be neces-
sary to convene the three-judge
court. Federal law requires the
larger court to hear questions on
| validity of State laws.
Judge Bryan said that Mr..
| Fenwick, in rejecting Mr., Green's
petition. was acting in the ca
pacity of a State officer, carry
ing out State law.
Sees Failure to Comply.
Attorney Armistead L. Boothe.
! representing Mr.. Fenwick. said
the former Republican had failed
to comply with State law with
respect to statements on party
support. Mr.. Green has said that
he did not vote for Mrs. Kathryn
Stone. now a Delegate from Ar
lington, last November. She is
a Democrat.
Mr.. Green's suit asked 1000
damages from Mr.. Fenwick, but
that phase of the case is not part
of the pending injunction pro-
ceedings.
Yesterday. the State Supreme
Court turned down a contention
by Mr. Green that the State re-
districting law of 1852 is uncon-
stitutional. He had sought to
file as an at-large candidate for

SCS MEN MAKE SNOW SURVEY

In cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, two members of the local Soil Conservation Ser vice are this week making snow surveys in the Eklutna Lake re- zion.
 Lew Hanks and George Wood ruff flew to the lake this week and will make the 2,000-foot as- cent by snowshoes, checking on the amount of water held in the snow in the drainage basin of Eklutna Lake.
 Other checks will be made at the end of April; a check from the air the latter part of May, and periodical checks throughout the year. The work consists of checking snow fields for maxi mum depth and water content, and the rate of run-off each year out of the lake. Data collected from these tests are correlated and in time will indicate the average amount of water to be expected. Under certain condi- tions, floods could be predicted and determination on the flow of water per year which would be available for irrigation, power and the like can be determined.
 The first 25,OOO horsepower tur- bine for the Eklutna power plant is expected to be shipped from Newport News very soon, with the second turbine expected at the power plant later this sum- mer in time for power output from the plant the early part of November.

recommend that sufficient
funds. be appropriated for this
purpose.
Meanwhile, q series of trade
missions. working in co-opera-
ton with our representation
overseas. will be sent from the
United States, one to Europe.
one to Asia, one to South
America, to explore the imme-
diate possibilities of expanding
international trade in food
and fiber. Moreover, the Sec
retary of Agriculture. in CO.
operation with the Secretary
of State, is organizing discus
sions for the exchange Of views
with foreign ministers of ag-
riculture on subjects affecting
the use of agricultural sur
pluses and stockpiles.
Use Of Diverted Acres
In addition to the removal
OF surpluses and the expan-
sion of markets, special meas
ures must be taken to deal
with the use of acreages di-
verted from crops under al
lotment. To avoid these diff
ficulties, the number Of di-
verted acres must be reduced
to a minimum. The proposed
program accomplishes this by
increasing the utilization Of
commodities, thereby reduc-
ing the need for acreage re-
StrictionS.
When land must be diverted
from production. it is essen
tial that its use be related
in the basic detectives of soil
conservation-to protect and
to improve that land. Wher-
ever acreage adjustments are
especially difficult, Agricul-
tural Conservation Program
, funds will be used to help
farmers make these adjust
ments in a manner that will
advance soil conservation and
long-term efficiency.

culture. in cooperation with

The French forces claimed
more than 1000 casualties among

they had wiped out any serious

ary authority should be pro-
vided to manage these frozen"
reserves. This authority should
be coupled with legislative
safeguards to prevent the re-
turn of these stocks to domes-
tic or foreign markets so as to
cause disturbance in normal
trade. Perishable stocks should
of course be rotated. Stocks Of
wheat, cotton. vegetable oils
and possibly some dairy prod
ucts should be set aside after
this program takes effect.
The special circumstances
relating to the crop and the
date of initiating the proposed
new program should govern
the time for establishing each
such commodity reserve. This
reserve program will be effec-
tive only II 1t is carefully in
tegrated with the new program
as a whole. The insulation of
our excess reserves Of food and
fiber is an essential first step
in launching this new program.
Exponsion Of Form Markets
Abrood
One of our largest potential
outlets for present surpluses is
in friendly countries, Much
impetus can be given to the
use Of a substantial volume of
these commodities by substi-
tuting to the maximum extent
food and fiber surpluses in for
eign economic assistance and
disaster relief. 7 shall request
a continuation of the authority
to use agricultural surpluses
for this purpose.
1t is not enough. however,
to rely solely on these meas
ures to move SurpluseS into
consumption. No farm program
should overlook continued
economic growth and expan-
sion. BY revolutionary increases
in farm productivity during
and since World War II,
American farmers have pre-
pared our Nation to supply an
ever greater proportion of the
food needs of the world. De-
veloping commercial markets
for this expanded production
is part of the larger problem
of organizing a freer system
Of trade and payne n t S
throughout the free world. Be-
cause our farmers depend to
a considerable degree on for
eign markets their interests
will be particularly served by
strengthening of the work Of
the Department of Agriculture

President Proposes Overhaul Of Farm Program

proposed In this section, and
in Part II which follows. will
open new market outlets both
at home and abroad, not only
for current supplies but for
future production. 1t will pro-
vide a firm floor on which
our farmers can rely while
making long-term plans for
efficient production and
marketing. Year in and year
out, it will provide the best
prospects for the stability and
growth of farm income.
1t will help the farmer at
tain full parity in the market.
1t will avoid creating burden
some surpluses. It will cur
tail the RECOMMENDATION of pro-
duction planning. lessen the
problem of diverted acreage,
and yield farmers greater
freedom of choice and action.
It will bring farm produc-
ton into closer balance with
consumer needs. It will pro-
mote agricultural interests,
along with the public interest
generally. It will avoid any
sharp year to year change in
prices and incomes.
The program will again
stimulate and encourage good
farm management. It will
prevent arbitrary government
control and afford the great
est freedom to the individual
farmer. It will provide added
incentive to make wise use of
all our agricultural resources,
and promises the Nations
agriculture a more stable and
reliable financial return than
any alternative plan.
I urge its early approval by
