Touring U. S. Formers
Give Advice to KremIin

MOSCOW. Aug. ~ (P.-
Touring American farmers pre-
sented the Kremlin today a IA
point program for improving So
Wet agriculture calling for a vast
United States-Soviet exchange
Iof students. experts. and publi-
cations.
The proposal-first such mass
foreign advice on Russion farm
ling ever offered here-climaxed
Ia month-long swing by the
Americans around the Soviet
Union. They inspected Soviet
agricultural installations stimuli
taneously with a tour of the
United States by a party of Rus
sian farmers.
The exchange of the two farm
groups grew out Of a suggestion
by Lauren K. Soth, editorial
|page editor of the Des Moines
dowa) Register and Tribune.
The Americans here hailed
their tour as a great success. /"
Their enthusiasm was evidenced
In their report. a chief point of
which was their plan that such
visits be expanded and widened
in the future.
Corn Study Urged
Among other points, the Amer
ican delegation commented on
the controversial corn growing
program sponsored by Russian
Communist Party Chief Nikita S
Khrushchev. The visitors recon-
mended a CLOSE study of this
field Of research in the United
States" to help the program
along.
The United States farmers
Recommendations were presented
to Ivan A. Benediktov, Soviet
minister Of state farms, anc
other top Russian agricultural
officials at a 2h-hour session
this morning in the Agricultural
Ministry.
At this talkfest. the Russians
disclosed unstintingly facts and
figures about their agriculture
The American delegation has
seen and learned more and trav-
eled more than any group OF
foreign farm experts has ever
been permitted to do.
Judging from the friendly
manner with which the Russians
received the unofficial American
suggestions today, there is a good
chance for 'urther exchanges
between the two countries pro-
vided the United States Gov
ernment also agrees.
The visiting farm delegation
had no official status, and the
United States Government is
not involved In their recommen-
dations on Soviet agriculture.
Stuck to Routes
The Americans reported they
held rather rigidly to presched-
uled routes during their tour.
But they said they believe this
was due to the exigencies Of time
and had no political significance.
In Central Asia they split into
two groups. The first did more
than $500 miles for which each
tour member paid 1927 rubles
and 10 kopecks t$458.50 at the
Russian-fixed value Of the ruble)
and the second group Just over
$500 miles at a cost per man

glimmer Of this great truth,
they tend to bypass it as not
relevant for themselves.
Can't Remake Russia
| Each Of the men In the So
Wet delegation thinks that he
cannot remake the Soviet Union
IN terms Of private property. free
enterprise and a Midwest like
family farm economy. The ques-
tion Of these things. the delega-
tion member inevitably feels, is
above his head and beyond his
competence.
A lot of Americans with whom
] have talked seem to have the
Idea that what they see here
in the United States ought to
have disillusioned them in their
own Soviet system. ought to
have sold them on the American
way Of life, on private property
and private enterprise.
Well. it's my observation that
the Russians have been deeply
impressed by what they have
seen in America, even dazzled.
But they haven't been swept
away in an orgy Of idolization
|of everything American.
The thing that more than
anything else has served to keep
their feet on the ground is an
emotion common to all Of them.
I am talking about patriotism.
Impressed by Sights
The Russians see what Ameri-
cans are doing and are impressed
but they refuse to admit they
cannot do as well. They are sure
that with time they can. The
member Of the Soviet farm group,
I believe. as he sees more of
American successes, becomes ever
more firmly determined that the
Soviet Union must equal and
better these successes.
But even filtered through these
Soviet points of view, still Ameri-
ca has had q very powerful i'm
pact on the Russians.

one Of the leading members of
the Soviet delegation to me q day
or so ago.
He marveled. The degree of
warmth and good will which
he and his colleagues had been
receiving surprised him. It sur
prised the Americans as well
who saw it.
This is the single most impor-
tant impression which has
etched itself on the minds Of the
Soviet farm delegates. There is
not a one of them who can ever
think again Of America as q
hostile or unfriendly country.
But the material side Of things
Is impressive too.
"You have Q rich country!"I
said one Of them to me with
considerable feeling. The strength
and the wealth of the United
States had seeped into him like
the summer heat Of the midwest
plains. The experience Of rolling
for days on end past tall corn
and fine farmhouses had been
etched into his consciousness.
He had come to think Of Ameri-
cans as the most fortune favored
people of the earth.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20 R.-
What do the Russians reall,
think about what they've seer
i'm this country?
The fact of the matter is thai
the Soviet farm delegates hav,
been extremely careful about thu
iopinions they have voiced
! They have followed a rather
simple party line" in answering
Questions about their opinions.
They avoid assiduously saying
anything unpleasant about as.
lpects Of American life.
They are just as careful not Il
make any comparisons which arr
Instantaneous to their own
country.
This is the front the Russians
are putting up. But what goes
on behind it?
| What do you really think
|about American"
Grasps The Question
L listened while an American
out in Nebraska put this question
to one of the Russians. It took
him several repetitions to grasp
the question. Finally he got IL
and sort Of half-laugned:
| What do I think about Amer
lea really? I'll tell you what
think about America. want to
find what's useful here and take
1t back home with me. That's
what ! think about America"
I'm convinced he was startled
into an unusual minute OF
frankness. Not that he said
Everything he might have felt
by no means. But what he did
say was quite true.
The utilitarian approach to
their visit to the United States
is, no double. one which domi-
mates some and perhaps most OF
the members Of the Soviet group
here.
The Soviet farm delegates
have work to do here in terms
of collecting information and
getting new ideas. And they are
going to do this work If they
possibly can.
,, Russia Is Home
In looking at their assign
ments and at America they
mostly look with Soviet eyes.
They orient themselves on the
fact they are soon returning
home. Their careers are home.
Their families are home in the
Soviet Union.
They probably think not In
terms Of their living exactly the
kind Of life they see here, since
they are pretty sure they won't.
but Of getting something con-
crete out of the journey which
they can use over there, back
home in the Communist Soviet
Union. IN making Soviet life bet
ter. and making the Soviet
Union Q more powerful country.
Perhaps some Of the Russian
group have begun to UNDER
stand In some degree that one
Iof the. most important bases of
American productivity Is private
property and private enterprise.

Visible Progress Made

Whether you voted for them or not,
the Tabor City Board is doing COM
mendable job and progress is being
made in city government here.
The affairs of the town appear to
be more and more streamlined for
modern business and everywhere you
look, improvements are being made.
Some of the projects have been plan
ned for several months but its the
visible progress that counts.

The procurement of the new fire
truck was must, and it has already
proven to have been a wise purchase.
1t costs lot of money, but more fire
protection was needed and a new
truck was the answer.
The curbing and drainage of Fifth
to the city limits has been a needed
Improvement for years. Now that pro-
gress is in the making, and by Christ
mas time, visitors can enter from the
East with a much better impression
of Tabor City. This project is costing
plenty, but the work that is being
done will change our appearance more
than any single Improvement in years
Again it costs money but the cree
ton of the new white way lighting
system has helped. We still don't
have as much light as some neighbor-
ing towns, but we have the most

gerously low at times for several
years. Now a new we'll is being drilled
to alleviate that situation mad keep
us out of some predicaments many
North Carolina cities have witnessed
during recent dry seasons.
On top of that, the town board
realized that with increased popula-
ton and more new homes and miles
of city streets, that one truck was
insufficient to gather garbage, haul
else and a new pickup truck was re-
Gently bought to help this situation.
And new police car, the second
ever to be in operation here, was
bought at about the time the new
administration took over.
Including the additional monthly
cost of electricity, these improve
ments for two year period will run
to more than $4,000. That's a lot
of cost for little town that still has
to pay a big chunk on bonds and
interest, keep its water and sewage
departments expanding, maintain po-
lice protection and a half hundred
other things.
All told, we believe the Tabor City
Town Board is sincere and making
every effort to push Tabor City along
progressive route. They have
thankless job and your nod of appre-
citation to them is the only compen-
sation that they are looking for. They
have that nod from us.-W.H.C.
