Always popular at Farmer-Dabor
Institutes is Jim Patton, president of
the National Tanners Union. A dyna-
mic personality and a great humani-
tartan, Patton believes in people.
He said farmer and laborer are the
hope for building better and great
er America, but there can not be
basic unity until there is philosoph;c
and economic agreement, and the
hucksters are trying to create divi-
sion between the two groups.
Patton told the Institute that they
are only witnessing the beginning of
the 1856 campaign that has as its
aim the driving of wedges between
the people of this country by condi-
tioning their minds to be satisfied
with less than America can afford.
He believes there is sufficient food
and fibre in this country to knock
out malnutrition in America, and
that by daring, dynamic policy peo-
pie can be free of want.

Russians Brave

BY TOM WHITNEY
Associated Press star Writer

DES MONIES. Iowa, July %
(P.-The visiting Soviet farm
leaders continued their intensive
and exhaustive program OF
study of Midwest farming today
despite the heat wave.
The first item on their pro-
gram today was a visit to hybrid
corn and chick operations near
Des Moines run by the brother
and son of former Vice Presi-
dent Henry Wallace.
The Russians were scheduled
later to leave Des Moines and
head South and West.
In Des Moines last night the
Soviet delegation gave a recep-
ton attended by about 200
guests.
Vodka on Hand
Russian caviar was served in
considerable quantity. Genuine
Moscow vodka was available for
those who wished to try it.
Hors d'oeuvres were also on
hand.
The party brought together
many people whom the Russians
have met in this section of the
State since their arrival in Des
Moines July IT. There were
newspaper people, faculty men,
bers from Iowa State College,
some of the farmers whose
homes the Russians visited and
many others.

Secretary of the Russian EN-

.DisputeAfSea
Raises Issue Of.
Fishing Rights

Sportsmanship on the fishing
grounds of New Jersey has been
backed up with a shotgun, the
New York Times said today.
Nobody was hurt. but the
Coast Guard and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation are con-
Icerned in a controversy that
combines international law with
the rights of men in pursuit Of
Ibluefish.
The central character in this
strange fish story, according to
the Times, is Frank Mikuletsky,
skipper of the party fishing boat
Ebbie II. The captain is said
to have fired a 20-gauge shotgun
across the bows of three ships
of Long Beach Island, N. J..
The Times said this is how the
case of the outraged bluefish
came to the FBI:
On Tuesday, Capt. Mikuletsky
took off from the vicinity Of
Long Beach Island with a pay
load of eager fishermen in search
of blues. The blues had been
running last week and the fisher
men were hopeful.
/ About 90 mile seaSt of Surf
City, Long Beach Island, the
captain thought the fishing
would be good. So, as is custom
Iary, he began making a chum
slick.
For half an hour. hundreds of
pounds of chopped herring and
other items were tossed over the
stern Of the Ebbie II. These
morsels are known as chum and
they eventually form q smelly
slick on the surface of the sea.
To bluef1sh. though, chum is
nectar. They rise to the surface
so enthusiastically that they
grab for any lure that fishermen
use to make hooks more attrac-
tive.
Ordinarily, when one fisher
man sees another 1isherman's
chum-and usually'a chum slick
makes itself known to nose and
Ieye-he does not trespass. This
time. apparently, the unwritten
law was believed to have been
violated.
According to the story given

Both Senate and House were
asked today to increase the an
nuities paid retire Government
workers.
The House also was called on
to raise the salaries of about
300 top officials of the Govern
ment, generally along lines rec
commended by President Eisen-
hover. A similar Senate meas
ure was being readied for in
PRODUCTION.
Formula Set Up
Under terms of legislation
approved by the Post Office and
Civil Service Committees on
both sides of the Capitol. 260.-
600 retired workers and sur
tvivors would receive annuity in
Icreases on this formula:
For those whose annuities be-
gan before July l, 1855. an in
crease of II per cent on the
first $500 a year, and 8 per
cent on the remainder. (The
House bill provided no indi-
vidual shall receive an increase
lin his annuity which would
raise it over $4,000 a year. The
Senate measure contains no
such provision.)
Those retiring between July
and December 81, 1855. would
receive 10 per cent on the first
81 500 plus Z per cent on that
above $500. Workers retiring
in the first six months next year
would have annuities increased
on an 8 and 6 formula, and
those in the second half of 1856,
a 6 and 4 per cent formula.
For those retiring in the first
half of 1857, the increase would
be on a 4 and 2 per cent basis
and in the second half of 1857
a 2 and l per cent basis. In
creases would not apply there
after.

Legislation expressed confidence
that Congress would accept 1t
before adjournment.
1t was believed also that Con-
Igress would grant the salary
increases sought for top Gov
Iernment officials, thus complet-
ing the round of Federal pay
raises.
Under the House bill, Cabinet
officers would get an increase of
$2.500 annually to $685. It
proposes these additional new
salary levels:

employees of Grade 18 hiked from
the existing top of $14,800 to
$4,000. These are top career

South Russian Hospitality
Gets Best of U.S.. Tourists

ODESSA. Ukrainian S. S. R.,
July 28 (P.--Some of the
American farmers touring the
Soviet Union are complaining
too much Soviet hospitality.
They are getting stomach
aches from over-eating and too
many vodka toasts thrust upon
them by friendly Russians.
Yesterday the farmers had to
plow through a massive lunch
on a collective farm and then
had another big meal thrust
upon them the minute they got
back to town.
Blame Kindness
Charles Hearst of Cedar Falls,
Iowa. and Ralph Olsen of Ellis
worth, Iowa. said that if their
wives complained about their
added weight when they get
home they are just going to
blame it on their Soviet hosts
kindness.
1t was Herbert Pike of Whit
ting, Iowa, who said that stom-
ach upsets in the American dele
cation were due to too much
hospitality.
In way, the Americans will
be glad when they are on the
boat trip across the Black Sea
to Novorosiisk, where they prob
ably will escape banqueting for
perhaps "a hours.
The Russian over-hospitality
is believed to have been induced
in part by the reports the Rus
slams have from Iowa on how
touring Russian farm officials
are eating there.
So it appears each side is try
ing to outdo the other.
How the Russians may be
holding up under Iowa firewater
has not been reported, but the
Iowans here are weakening under
the persistent vodka toastS.
