field.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture

Rehabilitation Brings Big
Savings to taxpayers

1t is conservatively estimated that
more than $4,000 has already been
saved the taxpayers of Montana in
the $50 disabled persons removed
from relief rolls last year through
vocational rehabilitation. Assuming
that these men and women, would
probably have remained on public
assistance at least three years if re-
Mobilization services had not come
to their rescue, the cost to the citi-
zens of Montana in maintaining these
men and women in idleness could
well exceed $5OO,OOO.- MONTANA

Novel Twist to Pay Hike
Refusal

TORONTO-(PAD-The CIO-
Gel Packinghouse Workers, in
negotiations, were told by two of
the big three" meat packing COM
panies that their request for a
wage increase was turned down
because if wages were increased
the farmers would have to get
more money.
The union, according to Ron
Haggart, labor reporter for the
Globe and Mail, called the bluff
by agreeing to drop their demand
but only if the packers would
agree not to lower their prices to
farmers" The startled companies
turned down the offer.

Papou Packards Point
FROM A BARREN GREEK PLAIN CAME 4 HARVEST
OF FOOD And FRIENDSHIP

By last year, his vision and enthu-
siasm had helped the Greeks put
1000 acres of the Anthele plain under
cultivation. For the first time in his
tory Greece was able to export rice.
The gain to the Greek economy on
an original U. S. overseas-aid invest
ment of $4,000 was over $40 mil
lion. More important, perhaps was
the fact that the farmers of Anthele
for the first time in human memory
were prosperous and self-supporting.
AS 7O-year-old Walter Packard of
Berkeley Calf, prepared to com
plete his six-year assignment in
Greece, the people of Anthele honored
him as the Greeks have honored their
heroes for centuries-with marble
statue in the village square. 1t was
quarried from the same stone which
went into the Parthenon and the
Winged Victory of Samothrace.

For centuries before and after
King Xerxes camped there with his
Persians waiting to do battle at
Thermopylae in 40 B. c., the plain
of Anthele lay bleached and barren.
No trees grew to shade it's parched
acres from the relentless Grecian
sun; no water flowed over the banks
of the winding Sperchios River to
wash them clear of salt and alkali.
For generations, no local farmer even
bothered to put his plow to the 5000
useless acres of the plain, and even
those who worked the stingy lands on
its edges were forced to content
themselves with only the scantiest
yields.
On February day in 1949, how
ever, an elderly American agricultural
expert named Walter Eugene Pack
ard drove out to Anthele from Athens.
AS plainly and Enthusiastically Ameri-
can as the pro-style of Midwestern
bank, he joined the villagers for cof-
fee and sweets at the local inn and |
promptly got down to business. "Some
of u.s." he told his listeners, "think |
you can grow things on this land of |
yours. Rice, for instance"
Torn between skepticism and Won
der, the farmers of Anthele listened
as Packard went on to
outline a plan whereby U. S. money
and Greek labor night be combined
+nc tho fartilitxr Of tba nj oI of
Anthele.
The Greeks have little trust in bu-
reaucratic schemes, but, said Greek
recalling the incident later, "here in
this village, we like what we like,
and when we don't like something,
we speak up. Somehow, we liked the
way this American spoke to u.s."
Some 40 local landowners turned
over 100 acres to Packard's project;
other villagers abandoned the idle
ness of the coffee shops to man picks
and shovels for $3.50 day; small
army of American tractors and bull
dozers moved in to divert the course
of the Sperchios River. In the midst
of it all, usually coatless and with
shirtsleeves rolled high, Walter Pack
ard worked side by side with his
Greek friends In few weeks, the
dubious villagers who came down
each evening at dusk to watch work
on the newly flooded paddyfields
were rewarded with the sight of tend
er green shoots reaching skyward.
ut was like miracle from the gods,'
said one of them.
By that time, all the people of ;
Anthele plain had come to know Wal
ter Packard as "Papou" Grand
father. Children picked wildflowers t
for him. Church bells in all the vii
ages rang when his familiar jeep
was spotted humping along the road
from Athens. Even the road itself
was renamed Packard in his honor.
But Papou Packard was not one to
rest on laurels. He was busy making ,
olans to turn the 100 acres of rice :
INTO 1000 and the 1000 into 1000.

world.
But to say this is not to deny the
need for helping to a greater extent
the surrounding Arab countries to
raise their deplorably low living stand
ards by economic aid and "Point
Four programs" However, | question
whether the policy of arming Egypt
and Iraq (and perhaps the other Arab
nations) by the American and British
governments will accomplish anything
useful except to weaken, if not de-
stroy, the only real democratic ally
we have in the Middle East. | men
ton this because in a host of prob
lens that the Israelis face, the prob
lem of military security is uppermost

MILITARY SECURITY
And why is military security upper
most in cost and Importance? Because
to this country, which is said to be
smaller than Rhode Island, "the from
tier is everywhere" and is completely
surrounded by hostile neighboring
countries.
remember going for walk late
at night in the city of Jerusalem with
Moshe Bar-am, the head of Histadrut
in that city (who last year visited the
various trade union centers in the
United States) and seeing the from
tier with Jordan right there on the
gray walls of the Old City, from which
Arab legionnaires sometimes snipe or
throw stones at people whose houses
cluster almost onto the walls. Later,
when driving south to the Negev re-
gion and to Beersheba, we came to the
frontier with Egypt. Going south, we
hit the frontier with Syria and then
the frontier with Lebanon-practi-
cally a complete encirclement.
The more hopeful part of my visit
was to see the accomplishments Israel
has made in the building of this demo-
cratic society in the economic and So
cial as well as in the political arena.
the most important role in
the building of this society has been
played by Histadrut, the general Jew
ish federation of labor. While an af-
filiate of the ICFTU and definitely a
part of the free trade union world,
Histadrut is unique when the varied |
role it plays in Israel is considered.
Under a single organizational roof it |
has formed a movement which is at |
the same time trade union organi-
zo+io, ~, association of oo-oppratiUpc |
and an association for mutual aid |
by its Workers Sick Fund.
UNION LABOR

has purpose and a meaning if it is
developing long neglected country.
For here is trade union organiza-
ton that helped start a country rather
than come in to correct injustices
after it was started. Out of popula-
ton of approximately 1,684,000, His
tadrut has close to 100000 members
and it represents about 80 per cent of
the total wage-earning community.
In contrast to our trade unions,
membership in Histadrut is personal
and direct. This means that the work
er joins the federation and not an in
dustrial or craft organization. There
is flat rate of union dues for all
workers regardless of trade or occu-
patton, graded according to income
The lowest paid workers pay u per
cent of their monthly wages and the
highest paid workers pay AZ per cent
of their wages as union dues.
Interesting enough, the dues money
is distributed according to key by
which 3812 per cent is allocated to
the work of the federation and to To-
cal labor councils, Al per cent goes
to maintain the Workers Sick Fund,
which provides full medical service
for all members and their families.
The rest is divided among the Hista-
drut's social welfare institutions. [

DEBATE BAN
PROTESTED BY
Big GROUP

NEW YORK - (LDNS) = The
American Civil Liberties Union has
protested to President Eisenhower
the Defense Department ban barring
the Naval Academy and West Point
from debating the subject of whether
Communist China should be admitted
to the United Nations.
The ACLU called on the President
to revoke the ban and accused the
department of failing to understand
the mature of debate, its Importance
in American education and it's CEN
trail position in the democratic proc
ess."
GROUPS VIEWS
The students at the academies, said
the ACLU, "who are sworn to defend
Americas freedoms (should) be al
lowed to exercise the most funda-
mental freedom, the right of speech"
The Civil Liberties group added
that the Importance of free inquiry
into the most controversial ideas"
must be maintained and that infringe
ment upon the debate attacks the
freedom guaranteed by the First
Amendment.
The department ordered the ban
on the grounds that it would be in
appropriate to debate an issue al
ready settled as far as United States
policy is concerned.
