Sparkman Impressed
By Chang Pledge,
But Sees LoophoIe
Iy the. Assosialsd 20.

Senator Sparkman. Democrat.
Of Alabama, said today there is
no way to spell out 100 per cent
insurance" that Chang Kali
shek will not seek to involve this
country in war by provoking a
Communist attack. but that he
regards a note signed December
10 as promise" from Chang.
He referred to q note signed
by Secretary Of State Dulles and
Chinese Nationalist Foreign Min
lister Yeh, pledging the United
States and Chiang's forces not to
launch in the Formosa area
without Joint agreement" any
military actions not strictly self
defensive.
The note. was signed eight
days after the drafting Of the
new United States Formosa mu-
tual defense treaty. Senator
Sparkman said he regards it as
the best guarantee possible that
the pact would not involve this
Nation in a war over Formosa
the island 100 miles off China
which constitutes most of
Chiang's Republic of China.
To Hear Dulles.
Senator Sparkman commented
In an interview in advance of q
closed-door session of the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Commit
tee called to hear a briefing on
the world situation by Secretary
Of State Dulles.
Senator Mansfield. Democrat,
of Montana said in a separate
interview the Formosa mutual
defense pact. and the eight-na-
tom Southeast Asia treaty, also
awaiting committee action, would
be thoroughly discussed from all
angles"
Both are slated for early Sem
ate action, although the COM
mittee has not yet held hearings
on the Formosa pact.
Cohen Questions Treaty.
Meanwhile. Benjamin C. Cohen,
counselor of the State DEPART
ment from 1945 to 1947, was
identified as the principal author
of q confidential memorandum"
raising half a dozen questions
about some aspects Of the For
mosa treaty.
The memorandum, sent two
weeks ago to several Democrats
on the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, represents the thinking
OF Mr.. Cohen and several other
top foreign policy advisors to
former President Truman.
One Senator, asking not to be
quoted by name, said the 3h-
page memorandum contained
much food for thought" but
doubted whether it would have
an effect on committee or Senate
action on the treaty.
Mr.. Cohen said in an inter-
view his paper was mot written
for political purposes but to give
my views on the background Of
the treaty to some people /
thought might be interested"
He said no attempt had been
made to give the memorandum
mass circulation" The idea. he
said. was simply to stimulate
discussion among afew inter-
ested persons" AYtf
Calls 1t Promise.
Senator Sparkman said the
December 10 note amounts to a
promise" that Nationalist China
would not start any aggressive
action on its own initiative"
The treaty itself commits this
country to "act to meet the
common danger" in the event of
any armed attack on Formosa
or the nearby Pescadores Islands
and to recognize such an attack
as dangerous, to United States
peace and safety.
The Red regime in Peiping
has repeatedly said it intends
to take Formosa.
The actual language of the
note signed by Mr.. Dulles and
Mr.. Yeh was not made public
at the time Of its signing.

Illnesses children develop. Our Rhonda
is year old, Steven is 3 and Kelvin 4.
They would certainly classify as healthy
children, but, on the other hand, they
have had their share of children's
Affections.
Kelvin has been subject to Group since
he was months old; consequently, he
has required more attention than both
Steven and Rhonda. If a person hasn't
lived with Group, it can be a frighten-
ing experience. The rough breathing
and raspy cough usually develop in late
evening or early morning hours. If
your child acquires Group easily, get
some Group tablets from your doctor
to keep on hand.
Also, have an accessible arrangement
for providing steam in the room. We
use our own simple equipment rather
than vaporizer. A tall fruit juice can

with water and add the medication to

are more effective when the condition
is serious. Eliminate fruits and vege-
tables from the diet temporarily as they
are Iaxatives.
Half the Battle
Get off to the right start in giving
your child medicine. Assuming that the
medicine is good is half the battle with
a young child. If you are as pleasant
and nonchalant about giving a dose of
medicine as you are about giving a
favorite dessert, chances are the child
viii take it as well. There comes a
time, of course, when child's taste
buds remind him that black cough
medicine just doesn't taste good.''
When he reaches that stage, agree
with him. 1t doesn't taste good but we
''take it anyway to get better" My
favorite expression after a youngster
has downed bitter potion is you're

FARM OUTLOOK

Add up the carefully hedged fore
casts at the USDA's Outlook Con-
ference of economists from across
the country, and you get about
this: Net farm income over all in
1856 is expected to drop some more,
perhaps about per cent.
The outlookers think that livestock
income Tin contrast with crop returns)
may be as high, or bit higher in the
New Year. "A sharp increase in slaugh-
ter cows and heifers, says USDA, ''has
reduced the nations breeding herd"
This, the department thinks. will
mean smaller calf crops in Sc and
later years, and gradual decline in
cattle numbers. Cattle prices, there
fore, may start a gradual recovery
next year, in the official view Two
general observations are agreed upon
by most economists:
l. With consumers expected to have
still more dollars to spend, demand for
farm products is expected to remain
strong, and maybe to increase some
what Population growth will continue.
Whether extra demand will be reflected
in additional farm sales is questioned.
Most of any increase in spending for
food may be for still more consumer
marketing services and convenience
foods rather than for extra product
from the farm and ranch
2. Only slight relief, if any, is fore
seen in farm production costs. Econo-
mists are confident feed costs will go
down some more, but machinery and
equipment will cost more

GRANGE POLICY

Biggest news out of the National
Oranges recent annual session in
Cleveland was not only the Organi-
zatiOn's obvious displeasure with
Administration farm policy. The
Grange also voted to hire experts
to serve ON special committees to
work up individual commodity pro-
grams.
The action serves to implement a
longtime Grange policy that farm pro-
grams should be operated on COM
modify by commodity b sis. The
Grange also proposed:

markets :. including trade with Rus

CATTLE MARKET PROPS
Government purchases of beef to
prop cattle markets?
Chances looked to be against it at
press time, but Agriculture Secre-
tary Benson has announced that of
ficiaIs are ''giving special atten-
tom to cattle markets.
Noting that cattle feeders in October
and November sent to market large
numbers of heavyweight cattle, he said
Defense Department officials had adj
vised him they are purchasing the
majority of their boneless beef require
ments from heavier cattle'-and con-
centrating buying ''in areas where
prices are lowest"

will be approved early in the New Year.
1t had been thought, at first, that Agri-
culture Secretary Benson would favor
a simple expansion of ACP conservation
payments.
At press time, however, he was
warming up another idea-and
much larger one. 1t is plan
worked out by a USDA task force
that has been looking into the many
variations on the Iand-rentaI, soil
bank proposals.
The USDA had not yet announced its
plan (and it had not been endorsed as
official policy by Benson) as this issue
went to press. However, the general
outlines had been made known to this
reporter-and it is the estimate of in
siders here that the plan will have a
fair chance for success when and if
it is taken to Congress. Main features
of the department task-force plan are
these:
First, set aside perhaps 10 per cent of
the nations cropland in soil fertility
bank In the bank would be acres
normally given over to cash crops, but,
under the plan, converted to grass,
trees and forage.
Second, Individual cooperating farm
ers under the USDA task-force plan
would be allowed yearly payments of
5 to z per cent of the appraised value
of acres set aside. Also SIS to 500 per
acre for seed. Probably, also, additional
ACP payments.
Grazing would be permitted on set
aside land under the USDA plan. De-
partment officials realize that livestock
and milk production probably would
increase if grazing were permitted
but they don't see how prohibition
against it could be enforced. This
problem of grazing promises to be the
hottest point for debate on Capitol Hill
during consideration of "soil banks"
conservation acreage reserves and
similar plans)
The USDA task force plan, it is es-
timated, could cost $500 million in the
first year of operation. Idea would be
to carry it on for several years. Pay
ments to an Individual farmer might
go as high as SIS, 900.
The tentative USDA plan would be
with farmers deciding wheth-
er to take part However, penalty for
probably would be loss
Of price supports.
Keep in mind, though, that Benson
lad not made up his mind just what
he would favor. The Secretary, among
,ther things, was waiting to hear the
inal opinions of his National Advisory
Committee of farm experts, headed by
CORNELL University's Dean William I.
Ayers.
The National Farm Bureau, holding
Is annual convention in Chicago in
nid-December, is hoping to come up
Nth plan that will find favor with
S top leaders and majority of mem
ers across the country. Whether this
an be accomplished is anybody's guess.
