BOOTHBAY FIARBOR, Maine.
June 26.-The sturdy schooner

plorer's 3Oth and probably final
voyage to Arctic waters.
Among those in the ships
company is Walter Boyd. 10. Of
Washington, D. c., a University
of Virginia student.
Residents and summer visi-
tors at this little port arranged
a Sendof for the 79-year-old
skipper, who was elevated from
commander to rear admiral
when President Eisenhower
signed a special bill yesterday.
Before the 81-foot vessel de-

miral Macmillan expressing ap-
probation for 20 years of basing
his expeditions here.
Gov. Burton M. Cross said

Admiral MacMillan's contribu-

a part of the world that is be

Administration Faces
Stiff Test in House
On Farm Program
BY the Associated Press

The Eisenhower administra-
ton braced today for one of
its stiffest tests of this con-
gressional session. House bat
tie over flexible VS.. high, rigid
Government price supports for
basic crops.
The House Agriculture Com
mittee late yesterday cleared for
House action a bill that pro-
vides for a one-year extension
of price props fixed at 80 per
cent of parity.
The bill was ticketed for con-
sideration either Wednesday or
Thursday and administration
stalwarts were expected to wage
q strong fight at that time for
a flexible system, ranging be-
tween rs and 80 per cent Of
parity. as advocated by PreSi-
dent Eisenhower and Secretary
of Agriculture Benson.
Senate In same MOO0s
The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee, too, has voted for another
year of rigid farm price supports
in opposition to administration
aims.
Parity is a legally determined
standard for farm goods prices
regarded as fair in relation to
the cost of things farmers must
buy.
Farm legislation providing for
flexible supports has been on the
books since 1949, but its effect
has been postponed from time to
time. Now, flexible props are
scheduled to go into effect auto
matically at the end of the 1854
crop year, unless q new delay is
voted or q substitute program
adopted.
Gen. Eisenhower and Mr.. Ben
son contend flexible supports
would discourage overproduction
in times Of plenty. but would
spur production in times or
scarcity. Opponents Of the fiex-
able system say they fear it might
lead to q drop In farm income.
Hope Forecasts Passage.
Chairman Hope Of the House
Agriculture Committee said the
measure approved yesterday is
the "best possible bill that could
be secured at this time to meet
the needs Of agriculture" He
forecast that the legislation
which also deals with other
phases Of the farm situation
will pass the house.

II don't know. I only know

threatened the close relation

tries. We've simply got to be
friends. Working together we
may find a way out of the
miserable mess we're both in.
Working at cross purposes can
only result in disaster for both
of us and probably for the
whole world. One reason I'm
glad Churchill has been able
to make one more trip over
here is because I believe he
understands that better than

If personal feelings and
sentiments between leaders Of
nations could decide policies
there is no doubt that the
present Eisenhower Churchill
conversations would be a
glowing success.
President Eisenhower has
the warmeSt friendship and
admiration for the greatest
statesman of our times and
there is nothing that he per-
Sonally would not do to please
"old Winnie" The same thing,
with possibly a few restric-
tions, applies to Churchill's-
regard for our President.
In the days when kings and
emperorS called each other
cousin" personal" diplo-
macy was possible. The closest
to this type Of diplomacy in
our lifetime was President
RooSevelt'S handling Of the
American-British relations be-
tween the outbreak of the last
war in Europe and the Japa-
nese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Decisions concerning Ameri-
can activities were taken by
MeSsrs. Roosevelt and Church
i'll without the guidance of
Congress and frequently unbe-
known to Secretary Of State
Cordell Hull.
This is no longer possible.
Sir Winston came to Wash
ington with a mandate from

26-2, the committee eliminated
sections that would have kept
alive rigid supports on corn and
cotton for two more years.
This move was regarded as a
tactical concession to admins
tration opposition, aimed also
at boosting the bills prospects
in the House.
The general farm bill; in ad-
dition to its basic crop price
support features, provides for
raising supports on dairy prod

Neglected Bank Deposits

JUNEAU-Having recently COM

Africans Say....

East African colony, the Africans
agreed that Kenya should continue
to develop under the ageis of the
British Colonial Office. However,
they emphasized:
africans in Kenya should have
direct elections to the Legislative
Council on a basis of one member
for each quarter million population
short of that half the unof-
fetal seats on the Council as at
present constituted should be filled
by Africans"
The Africans commented that
the land policy in Kenya has long
been bone of contention in the
sphere Of politics. They said:
while existing disproportion in
land holdings remains neither the
Highlands Order-in-Council nor the
Native Lands Trust ordinance
should be regarded as final and
sacronsanct.
at is our view that all good
lands in Kenya should be immedi-
ately developed in the highest peak
of their capacity to produce with
view of achieving a quick in
crease in the national wealth and
raising the standard of living of
inhabitants of this country.
Africans cannot be a party to a
policy which merely seeks to pro-
tect them as a community if their
already congested areas and gives
no scope for their playing a part
in the development of the rich
lands now lying vacant in the
Highlands. The time for home rule
will come only when all sections
of Kenya's inhabitants can have
comparable share in such a gov
eminent.
