Report From Sen.
Seott's Office
BY BILL WHITLEY
Press Secretary To Sen. Scott

COTTON. New efforts are be-
ing made to get additional acre
age aIlotments tor small cotton
farmers in the Southeastern cot
ton belt
The move for more cotton acre
age was started after blanket Of
freezing weather covered several
South Atlantic states and knocked
out the multi-million- dollar peach
crop. AS a result Of the freeze
thousands OF southern farmers are
without prospects Of cash income
this year Many others will suffer
drastic cuts in income.
To help make up the damage
caused to the peach crop. the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee is stu
dying emergency proposals that
would allow larger cotton allOt-
mentS,
DEFEAT. Just a few days before
the disastrous freeze. the Senate
killed a bill that would have pre-
vented cotton acreage reductions
this year. Senators from the
Southern states worked hard to
prevent acreage reductions for far
mers with four or fewer acres of
cotton, but lawmakers from west
eln states killed the effort by de-
manding that increases be given
to the large cotton ranches in the
West.
If the new plan goes through. it
will mean that those cotton far
merS in the stricken areas will be
allowed to increase their acreage
at least enough to make up part of
the loss from their peach crop. The
final outcome is doubtful, how
ever, because many Senators fa-
yor other forms of aid.
AID A gentleman named Thorn
as Lamb of Santa Monica, Calf
has come up with a unique idea
about foreign aid.
Senators are getting letters from
Mr.. Lamb urging that legislation
be enacted that would provide for
gifts of money to Americans to
spend, in foreign countries.
Under his plan. tn e United
States Government would pay for
tourists trips into foreign lands.
Mr Lambs reasoning goes this
way;
at is dollars that these coun-
tries need and they would get the
same benefit whether the money
was brought in by tourists or Civ
en- to their governments as
grants"
Mr.. Lamb would choose those
who would make foreign aid
tours" by drawing social security
numbers.
There are three things certain
about such a plan: % 1t would
cost the government money c2l
II would put more money into for
eign countries. 90 1t would be
mighty good deal for the people
who would get to make the trips.
RUSSIA. A gentleman called a
Senator's office and wanted to
know how to 90 about getting a
passport to Russia. AS a rule no
request is a surprise to a Sena-
tors office. but this one was
shock. to say the least.
Maybe as matter of curiosity.
the office asked why the man
wanted to go to Russia. His reply
cleared the fog a little.
I'm sick and tired of this
place" he said Il was drinking a
little and beat up cop. Now they
are going to can me. I'd just ra-
ther go to Russia than go to Jail.
They claim Americans have free
dom. but what kind of freedom is
it when you can't take a couple
drinks and express yourself"
The man never has called to
withdraw his request.

and lawyers who represent clients

There are three types OF lobby
