For THANKSGIVING

BY vote of rs to 2-Senators
Lehman and Fulbright Obiecting-
the Senate approved the sugges-
ton Of Majority Leader William F.
KnOwland that the special session
of that body called to debate and
vote on censure of Senator Joe
Mccarthy stand adjourned until
November 29th. This action was
taken after Senator KnoWland read
letter from DR.. George w. Cul-
yer, Senate physician who stated
that the injured Mccarthy elbow
required ten days of hospital treat
ment and that otherwise "perma-
nent injury could result"
Thus, the enthusiasm of a con-
tinent who shook Senator Joe's
hand so vigorously after his week
end Milwaukee speech as to cause
the Senatorial elbow to smash a
glass tabletop, may have historical
reperscusiOns. Most senator's, we
think, will welcome this enforced
"cOOling-Off period" and be happy
to turn their minds from what they
are, or should be, angry about to
the more Christian contemplation
of what they have to be thankful
for. So it may well be that a con
siderably larger number will re-
turn with the conviction that they
and the rest of us have (among
other things) Joe Mccarthy to be
thankful for i. t.. especially if
1t. General George E. Stratemeyer
and his distinguished associates
have in hand by that time those
ten million signatures to that gem
eral effect
While the adjournment question
was pending, the Senate was treated
to a formal display of Monday morn
ing quarterbacking that should be
revealing. Senator Edwin G. John
son of Colorado, a member Of the
Watkins censure committee offered
a resolution declaring the Com
munist Party to be "a part of an
international Communist conspir-
acy," and calling for continued
efforts by Senate committees "tO
expose the conspiracy and all per-
sons connected with it. ." So perhaps
the greatest deliberative body in
the world" is no longer "the un-
whiting handmaiden" of conspiracy.
Further, Senator Francis Case, of
South Dakota, explained on the
floor why he had changed his mind
about censuFing Senator Mccarthy
for "intemperately abusing" the
uncOOperative General Zwicker.
And New Jerseys Senator Robert
G. HendricksOn, whom Mccarthy
had described as ga living miracle
without brains or CUTS" told his
confreres: ''The Senate, in my Opin-
ion. should disregard remarks about
me-"

have discovered that they were

BABSON DISCUSSES THE EGRTCULTTREL SITUATION

BabsOn Park, Mass, November 25.
In my release Of last July, / was
quite bullish on the national crop
outlook. Final results, which now
are just about all tailed, largely
confirm my earlier optimism. AL
though the 1854 total volume of all
crop production will not chalk up
4 new record, it will still be rela-
lively large.
Crops Above Average
Despite a series of hurricanes,
severe drought in some areas, siz-
able shifts in land use and govern
mentment controls, most of the
miscellaneous crops are above the
1943-1952 average. Included in this
group are oats, barley, rye, faxseed.
rice, sorghum grain, cotton, all hay!
dry edible beans, dry field peas,
sOybeans, tobacco, sugar cane, and
sugar beets. C0ttOn-a major crop
lis also above average. Below
average crops, however, include
such major crops as corn, wheat,
peanuts, Irish potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes. and hops.
The outlook for fruits is, for the
most part favorable. However, I ex-
pect below average crops Of grapes
and commercial apples. Supplies of
the delectable cranberry will be
sufficient to meet holiday, as well
as winter needs A whopping early
and mid-seasOn Outturn of citrus
fruit is indicated. The pear crop
should be about average size.
Pecans are likely to be in short
supply in the year ahead. In the
case Of almonds, filberts and wal
nuts, / expect above-average crops.

UntaYorable growing conditions

However, the four southern pro-
ducing Arkansas, Louisiana

fine performance. The total u. 8.
crop Of 58,534,OO0 bags of rice. Of
100 pounds each, is still a record
high. Even so, supplies should not
prove burdensorne, and I forecast
prices are likely to average. some
what higher over the longer term
A Glance At 1855
There is no question in my mind
that the Democratic leaders in
Congress will go to bat vigorously
for the farmers in 1955-1956. For
one thing they probably will try
to restore 900 supports, as COM
pared with the nreeent sliding-scaIe
of 82159o to 90qo The fight on this
program. I predict, will be stiff.
They may make a play also for a
larger cotton acreage than the
present permitted acreage OF 49,
100000.
In any event, the farmers should
not suffer next year Farm prices
certainly are in no immediate
danger Of collapsing. In fact. farm
income in 1855 should be of only
moderately from that Of this year.
This means that farmers will still
enjoy a comparatively favorable
status, and that AGRICULTURAL areas
will continue to offer good markets
to aggressive merchandisers Of
attractively-priced quality wares.

Corn And SOybeans

COFh ana SOyDeanS
The indicated corn Outturn of
2,9S8,713,OOO bushels is down 7.5@s
from 1858 and 4Po below average.
This crop may we'll fall short Of
probable consumption in 1954-1955.
However, the October 1 carryover of
9l8,2OO,O00 bushels largely in the
hands of CCC) was a record high.
Thus, total supplies should suffice.
but the carryOver next October 1
will be reduced. I forecast higher
average corn prices as the season
works along. This is also true of
apple prices.
U. S. farmers really went to
town" on sOybeans. The indicated
record Outturn of 337 1890. 900
bushels will by no means prove
hurdensOme, in view Of the ex-
cellent outlook for domestic CON
sumption and exports. Many far
mers are holding their new-crop
beans for higher prices, which, in
my opinion, appears to be a smart
move. In any event, they can put
their beans into the government
loan If prices should decline!
Cotton And Rice
There will be much more than
enough u. S. cotton to service
total 1954-1955 requirements. The
indicated crop Of 13,2O6,OO0 bales
is, alone, sufficient for probable
seasons needs, not mention the big
carryoWer last August / Of around
g.70O,OO0 bales-largely in govern
ment hands. Cotton obviously is in
trouble, but Uncle Sam no doubt
will continue to bail it out by means
of the loan and hopped-up exports.

Dear Friends:-
Everyone sure is busy this week

entirely to Tom Turkey and his
preparation.
Since Hayes was really lucky
this year in bagging five pheasants
he thought that should be our piece
de resistance Thursday, but as long
as / can remember we've always
had turkey for Thanksgiving and
it seemed like obliterating part of
home, and holidays away from
Delaware are hard enough without
observing all the traditions. So we
have our turkey. One neighbor saws

NOT to stuff your turkey-it sOurs

Hayes screams "all my life I've
had the turkey stuffed" and / must
admit we have too. o. X, so wen

HOW. Edna Marler from Texas
says use sausage dressing: Gene

says they are going to have oyster
dressing at the mess halls this
year.
All bases have just wonderful

only one because Hayes likes to
have the left over" turkey as well
as the main dinner. The one time
we ate out at the club it was kind
Of a let down to come home to no

no good giblet gravy.
Lynne brought home a notice
from school this past week inuuir-
ing how many children would be
staying for turkey dinner at noon
on Wednesday, the last day Of
school before their four-dav
Thanksgiving vacation. Lynne be-
ing 712 and our first child, she was
pampered and many things TODAY
she just won't eat, it's my fault
She is improving but she still We
toed the idea of eating dinner at
school. Usually 1 pack her lunch or
she rides her bike home at noon. /
Immediately asked her if other
mothers ever ate lunch with their

that statistics of the National
Safety Council support the fact that
the hard hearing are more careful
drivers than the rest of US! It is a
matter of record that hearing i'm
pairments are a factor in only one
fatal accident in a thousand. That's
one tenth Of one per cent!
In Washington, D. c., where driv-
ing conditions are particularly
difficult because Of the street pat
tern, with its circles and diagonal
avenues, and because of the large
number of visitors, George D.
keneipp, Director Of Vehicles and
Traffic should be a particularly
good authority. He says:
"It has been our experience that
hard of hearing drivers, because Of
their impairment, have proven
themselves to be the safest drivers
on the highway"
Thus it would seem that the
driver with the hearing aid takes
especial pride in driving well, safely
and courteously No doubt he is
we'll aware that if he should be
involved in an accident it would
reflect unfavOrably on every deaf
ened driver in the whole country.
1t has often been said that these
people seem to be more acutely
sensitive to vibrations and visual
stimuli; but this is simply an adap-
tation, or rerOuting Of nervous en-
ergy, that is forced upon them by
their handicap. 1t does. not make
them different" In fact 85 per
cent of all insurance companies
make no differentiation between
drivers who wear hearing aids and
hose with normal hearing.
In short, when the rest Of US

mighty little blood on the highways

ANTS ARE SOCTALISTTC

If human beings were like ants, living
would be simple. The life Of the ant con-
slsIs OF all work and no play, with complete
social equality. It is the ultimate in regi-
mentation
When it comes to human beings, the Wall
Street Journal aptly says, IF activity were
all that was sought, economics would be a
very simple matter. It would only be nee
essaTy, as is successfully done in almost
any socialist country to see that there was
not enough food, clothes, houses or consumer
goods to supply the people. Then everybody
could work busily from morn to night. and
as long as they never caught up with the
needs the activity would stay feverish."
But human beings are not like ants, they
are lndividualistic in nature and must have
freedom to do their best That is why social
ism and ant-like regimentation are not the
answer to mans problems. To progress and
gam contentment and profit from his work
and at the same time preserve bis in5i
