Farm Aid Law
Unit Proposed
Task Force Urged
BY Stevenson
BY CROSBY n. MOVES
Star stan Correspondent

ROCK ISLAND, H., Oct. 90
The Stevenson camp today was
playing up the Importance Of a
proposed Democratic task force
to develop farm legislation as a
masterfully timed piece of cam
paign strategy.
AS he launched a new day of
campaigning in the "Tri City,
area of Rock Island, Moline
and Davenport, Mr.. Steven
son was assured that his pro-
posal to put Senator Kefauver,
his running mate, in charge of
the committee had made a big
hit with Midwestern farmers.
The Democratic candidate
took the wraps off his plan at
the close of a fighting farm
speech at the Springfield Armory
last night. He proposed to ex-
plore at once the appointment
OF a task force to put the Demo-
cratic farm program in shape
for swift action at the opening
of Congress"
Kefauver on Hand
Senator Kefauver, who was
also at the rally in the Illinois
capital, accepted the assign
ment. He would ask Senator
Ellender of Louisiana and Rep
resentative Cooley of North Car
DINA, the respective chairman of
the Agriculture Committees of
the Senate and House, to help
him, Senator Kefauver said.
AS explained by the two can
didates. the point of the task
force is to avoid wasting time
between Mr.. Steyensons election
on November 6 and his Inaugural
ton on January 90 in the de-
velopment of save the farm"
programc If we are elected.
there is much we can do before
taking Office Mr.. Stevenson ex-
planned.
Senator Kefauver said he
would lead his task force into
all parts of the United States
to work with farmers and farm
leaders concerning a program
designed to take American agri-
culture out of the mess into which
the Eisenhower-Benson program
has driven it,"
The proposal provided the
punchline to a ripsnorting speech
in the course Of which Mr.. Ste
venson denounced the admins
trations farm policy as "a re.
cord Of callous political perfidy'
and lambasted President Essen.

Rebellion Spreads Over Hungary
Plan Offered
To Widen D. {.
Parole Setup
Criminal Justice
Proposal Would
Avoid New Jail

A study of the possibility of
avoiding heavy District spend
ing for a new prison by vastly
expanding probation and parole
programs was recommended to
the Commissioners today.
The Washington Criminal JUS
tice Association adopted and sent
the resolution to Commissioner
David B. Karrick, who said he
was sympathetic to the idea"
and would take it up with his
fellow Commissioners Tuesday.
The association said "it is seri-
ously concerned about the dan
gerously overcrowded popula-
tons Of penal institutions of the
District of Columbia and of the
possibility and probability of in
creasing populations in the years
ahead"
Alternative Suggested
Noting that it had recon-
mended immediate attention
be given to the request of the
director of the Department of
Corrections for funds for an adj
ditional institution for adult
felons, it suggested as an alter
native:
Consideration should be given
to whether expanded probation
and parole programs would be
desirable in the best interests of
all concerned, particularly for
convictions of nonsupport, in
toxication, traffic violations and
perhaps a wide variety of other
individuals whose offenseS have
been amateurish in nature and
who present no highly criminal
istic threat to the community"
Corrections Director Donald
Clemmer has warned repeatedly
that his Jail and prison facilities
are dangerously overcrowded.
The District Budget Office has
recommended that the commits
sioners approve request by Mr..
Clemmer of $45, 900 to make pre-
liminary surveys to find site at
Lorton, Va. for such a prison in
the budget for the fiscal year
which begins next July /.
Mr.. Clemmer. in his explana-
ton of the need for the funds,
warned that it has cost other
communities between 81 million
