PRICES AND POLICIES

Much has been said about the
lack of issues in the months
ahead, but farm lawmakers don't
agree. There are issues enough FOR
them in farm prices and policies.
Latest official reports from USDA
point to more rather than fewer price
problems. Total output of farm prod
ucts this year now promises to reach
a new high-composed of record out
turn of livestock products, and the sec
ond largest crop year. Warehouses and
grain bins, meantime, are still bullying,
and Agriculture Secretary Benson has
been granted another 81 billion in loan
authority to support prices.
Here are the kind of figures that
worry lawmakers running for reelection
from farm areas: Farm prices for food
products in the second quarter of this
year, USDA reports, went down to s
per cent below year earlier Market
or middleman charges in the same
period were up 3 per cent and retail
food prices down only per cent (The
Federal Trade Commission reports
that profits of the food industry in the
first quarter of this year were about
z per cent higher than the first three
months of 1954)
Meantime, consumer income, en-
ployment and output of all goods and
services reached new peaks i'm the sec

OUT OF COMPLIANCE

The Agriculture Department is
getting tough with farmers who
overpIanted 1854 wheat acre alIOt-
ments and refuse to pay penalties.
Unless these quo viOlatOrs
sssquare up voluntarily, the De-
partment intends to drag them into
court.
Actually, quota violations aren't as
widespread as publicity would have
YOU to believe Total overplantings in
1854. for one reason or another, were
1900 for the country. Of this total, the
Department thinks it may have to sue
only 6OO-7OO That's a very small num-
Der when you consider there are $780,
600 wheat growers in the program.
Montana is way down on the list
of violators Only about two dozen
farmers may have to go to court, al
though even that figure is not definite.
Ohio has almost half of the number
of farmers liable to court action-about
800.

Keebing in Touch With Washington
Senate Group Schedules
Cross-Country Hearings

WASHINGTON, Dc IF you've got
something to get off your chest before
the Senate Agriculture Committee, you
will have to travel to Bookings, SD;
Minot, ND, or Pendleton, Ore. In its
autumn tour of farm and ranch areas,
the committee has not planned sched-
uled stop in Montana.
The committee begins its tour
in Minnesota on Oct. "a and has
scheduled IL locations for hearings
across the country. Its primary
purpose is to determine what kind
of farm program farmers and
ranchers want Congress to Iegis-
late next winter. The tour is SINH
lar to the one conducted last fall
by the House Agriculture Commit
tee.
One of the biggest Investigations
planned by the committee will take
place Nov. q at Chicago. Chairman
Ellender wants to look into charges
that wheat warehousemen do a lot of
market speculation to the detriment of
wheat growers

FLEXIBLE SUPPORTS

There are indications that Sec
rotary Benson may come up with
a new version of flexible price
supports next winter to head off
the determined drive to restore
mandatory 5000 of parity price sup
ports.
The program would work about like
this: The Agriculture Department
would provide 5000 supports for top
quality wheat and other ''basic" COM
modities. Then, there would be de-
scending ladder of supports for lower
qualities and grades. There's lots of
talk now about setting wheat support
on milling quality basis.
Growing belief in Washington is that
restoration of 800 price supports is
doomed. Even if the Senate passes the
House-approved high support bill, opin-
ion here is that the President would
veto.

SECOND SESSION

Congress, in its rush to leave
sweItering Washington, didn't get
around to doing as much for agri-
culture as it might have. Of the
hundreds of farm bills tossed into
the hopper, only dozen or SO got
through.
Nothing to fret about, though, say the
lawmakers, since what isn't done this
time can be done in the second session
starting this winter. All bills hold their
position and need not be re-introduced
in the next ses sion.
Some of the more important laws
passed by Congress include: A
boost in the farm surplus sales au-
thority from $500 million to SIS bill
lion; an increase from $40 to $12
billion in funds CCC can spend on
price supports; SIS million extra
FILA loan money for the Iow-income
farm program; provision for in
creased participation of borrowers
In the farm credit system, and re-
peal of Ian on ACP payments to
farmers who overpIant aIIotments.
Aside from price support proposals,
there are many important bills of in
terest to farmers and ranchers ready
for action next winter Among these
are: Federal income and excise tax re-
lief; broader Social Security benefits;
an expanded highway program; with
drawal of about more states from the
commercial wheat area; exemption
from quota penalties of farmers who
use or feed all the wheat they produce.

before any such scheme can be
put into action, it must first be

apart from the fact that Ameri-
can agreement would be re-
quired in a four-power German
settlement, there is some fear
that the United States-faced
with this kind of a proposal
might throw in the sponge and
withdraw its military forces
from Europe.
This is a warning that DR..
Adenauer finds effective for
keeping his government coalition
in line. For an overwhelming
number of Germans. any solution
to the problem that means sac
rif1cing American trust and
support is out of the question.
And since this is so. the first
job before any negotiation of
this kind could start would be
to convince the allies that Ger

its commitments under the

most Americans as an outrage

To swallow sthe German pro-

rethinking of Germany's role in
the cold war and the eating of
good many oft-repeated official
