explained.
DR.. Burns does not actually
know how he came to occupy his
present office, for he has never
participated in politics. Of course,
he had been an active economist
for many years. However, this
was limited to universities and
scientific research. He was a pro-
fessor both at Columbia and Rut-
gers, and Research Director of
the National Bureau of Economic
Research, and had been connected
with many other scientific institu-
tons. He had also published a
number of books on the subject of
economy, and from time to time
had been consulted as an advisor
by governmental departments.
This, however, did not draw him
into the ranks of the deciding
political circles; he had nothing
whatever to do with politics. He
met ike" only accidentally at a
reception in Columb ia when
Eisenhower was President of the
University. So how did it happen
that the President chose him as
his Economic Advisor? Burns
surmises that this is because of
his economic status and opinions
which were brought to light in
his books. It would appear that
the President and his advisors
liked Burns ideas.
Apparently the match turned
out compatiblY. The President
and his Cabinet have great re-
spect for Mr.. Burns and his opin-
ions. And Burns has the highest
regard for our President. He
praises highly Eisenhower's abili-
tY and character: Tile thinks
clearly and quickly absorbs every
problem. He has a deep under
standing of economic questions,
Eisenhower always goes to the
root Of a problem. He has funda-
mental knowledge. common sense
and a brilliant memory. At the
same time. he possesses an open
mind. devoid of any prejudice.
He is capable of assimilating new
ideas and blending them with
his strong principles. He is whole
heartedlY devoted to the Ameri-
can people. He strives to be the
President of all the people. not
only Of the Republicans. Conse-
quentlY. Eisenhower is a tremen-

One thing making the farm
ers unhappy is the drop in live

are taking it in stride as one OF
the hazards of the business.

here would like to know" says
Mr.. McWhorter. lis how hogs
can drop to 18 cents a pound,
but meat keeps going up. I guess
the packers have the answer to
that one"
Illinois will also show drop
in crop production values this

j. Stanard, director of the Illi-
nois Department of Agriculture

Acreage Cuts Blamed.
The drop, he says. is due to
the acreage cuts enforced by
Washington.
There's an "if' in the income
figure, however. The corn
borer has showed up for the
second time this year, and
farmers are working night and
day to get the crop harvested

Secretary Benson cut this

the Secretary has trimmed the
support prices on soybeafM and
oats, big items in the Illinois
economy. This makes the loan
value less attractive to the grow
ers. Instead of getting rid Of
the crops on the open market
and taking whatever happens
to be the price at that time. the
growers, naturally, prefers loans
that assure a substantial re-
turn and permit them to hold
title to the produce for a while
in hopes of a further price ad-
vance.
