Maryland State Schools Supt.
Thomas G. Pullen. jr.. yesterday
made a strong appeal for the

The plea came in an address
before more than 1000 teachers

Montgomery-Blair High School,
Silver Spring.
DR.. Pullen said his concept of
the public school system is that
"the minimum amount of edu-

by the capacities and the abili-
ties of each individual and by
the financial ability of the
Nation or whatever subdivision
is responsible to pay for it."

Farmers Ask For
Only Half Amount
In Soil Bank

Ohio farmers signed up for less
than half of the money available
for the 1956-57 wheat acreage re-
serve program, announces Wall
ace Barr, extension agricultural
economist at Ohio State Univer-
sity.
BY the October 5 deadline, A.
504 Ohio farms had land entered
in the wheat acreage reserve pro-
gram for 1856. These Ohio farm
ers will receive a total of S5,192,-
271 in payments, less than 50 per-
cent of the total money available
to Ohio. This figure looks even
smaller, Barr adds, when we real
ize that the agricultural income in
Ohio is a little more than one
billion dollars annually.
The 14,504 farmers signing, 10
percent of the farms in Ohio with
wheat allotments, entered 173, 186
acres in the acreage reserve. The
total wheat allotment on these
farms is 2O8. $50 acres so this is
81 percent Of the total allotment
for these farmers.
BY signing land in the whe at
acreage reserve program, the fax
mers agree to not harvest a crop
or Craze the land during the next
year. A cover crop may be plant
ed on the land during this period.

List Rules For
Reserve Sign-up

Eligibility rules for signup in the
1856 conservation reserve phase of
the soil bank likely will keep most
Ohio farmers out of the program
this year, according to an Ohio
State University extension econo-
mist.
Wallace Barr points out that to
be eligible for participation in the
conservation reserve program, a
farmer must designate land that:
l. Did not have a crop harvest
ed from it in 1856
2. Was not or will not be past
ured from January l, 1856 to De-
cember 81, 1856.
3. Has or will have an approved
cover crop established on it.
A. Is not designated as acreage
reserve.
In addition, Barr explains, a far
mer must (a) be in compliance
with his tobacco and wheat allot-
ment, although he may grow up to
Is acres of wheat (b) be within
his soil bank corn base; (c) re-
duce the acreage of soil depicting
crops below his 2-year average, an
exception being the farmer with
80 acres or less in soil depicting
crops.
Any farmer who can meet these
requirements and is interested in
1856 conservation reserve partici-
patton should contact his county
ASC office, Barr says. Signup
deadIine has been extended to No
vember 30, 1856.

Poll Workers Are
Foundation Of
Election System

Secretary of State Ted w.
Brown today estimated that 130,-
600 persons will serve as precinct
officials and in other closely allied
capacities in the conduct of the
General Election in Ohio, Tuesday,
November s.
He characterized those who will
serve in Ohio's more than 1900
polling places as the very founda-
tion of the gigantic election sys-
tenn which will be in operation on
that day and praised them for
their civic duty.
At the same time, Secretary
Brown urged every precinct Off
cial to give close attention to oral
instructions given at schools" and
to printed directions of the Boards
of Elections and to the Precinct
Officials Guides distributed by his
office, through the Boards. He
stressed the paramount import
ance of accuracy and efficiency
coupled with speed in the report
ing of the returns election night.
THE thousands of men and wo-
men, Secretary Brown said, who
will take time out of their busy
lives to serve as election officials
on November 6, are to be highly
commended for it. They perform
these duties, not because of the
financial remuneration, but throu-
gh desire TO be of service to
their communities, their state and
their nation"
Secretary Of State Brown said
that he has directed TIE Eoards of
Elections to follow ratl tr rigid
schedule of reporting returns to
his office early and regularly Il
am of the firm opinion" he said,
that the public's confidence in eff
ficient and honest elections is best
maintained by prompt reporting of
returns. And this confidence is al
ways re-assured, in the case of a
close contest and a recount. when
the work of the precinct officials,
representing long and tiresome
hours, can be reviewed and little
or no change is found in the tall
les. Therefore, these men and
women who serve in the polling
places hold the key to this inn
portant function of American gov
ernment."

He'd Rather Be Riqht

The President Tipped off his glasses
after he had finished reading the rather
dry text Of his speech explaining the farm
bill veto. With an earnest expression on
his face he looked out at an unseen
audience and said:
My fellow Americans. value the trust
you have placed in me to do the right thing
as see it-honestly, frankly and regardless
Of political pressure. That is what have
tried to do-and am trying to do. Thank
you, and good night.
This stops somewhat short of Henry
Clay's, II would rather be right than be
President" But Henry Clay was not
President, and 1t was a little easier for
him, perhaps, to take his stand on the
high ground. Mr.. Eisenhower is Presi-
dent, and to veto farm bill in an election
year is to incur some risk, both for him
self and his party Nevertheless he
elected to stand on what he believed to be
right. And who knows? Maybe one is
not forced in these circumstances to a
choice between alternatives. Perhaps 1t
will be shown that man can be right
and can also be President.

For REGIONAL PLANNING

The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee has given proper recognition to the
need for increased staff work in connec-
ton with regional planning in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area. 1t has done
so by restoring to the National Capital
Planning Commission appropriation a
$4,000 item eliminated by the House.
The additional money is necessary if the
commission is to meet its responsibilities
as supplier of technical assistance to
It's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. counterpart, the
National Capital Regional Planning
Council.
When Congress created the council
it was agreed that the council would rely
on the NCPC technical staff for any
assistance needed for regional planning.
That arrangement was made to avoid
duplication of effort. But Congress so
far has failed to provide the commission
with the promised extra funds for en-
largement of the NCPC staff President
Eisenhower last January urged Congress
to approve additional funds for the
larger staff, but the House cut from the
planning budget the sum requested. This
is an item whose Importance is belied by
its relative smallness Without this addi-
tional money the task of regional plan
ming will be rendered extremely difficult.

No Place for Politics

The Senate Armed Services subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Symington has
launched an inquiry of great Importance
to the Nation. It is, in short, whether we
are losing out to Soviet Russia in the race
for supremacy in military air power. The
Missouri Democrat, once Secretary of the
Air Force, has been critical under both
Democratic and Republican administra-
lions of what he considers inadequate
appropriations for the building up of our
air strength and of the utilization of the
limited dollars made available. Specifi-
cally, at the present time, he feels that
there should be greater emphasis on pro-
duction of the B-52, long-range Jet
bomber, and on development Of inter-
continental balliStic missiles.
AS the inquiry begins, Senator SYM
ington is emerging as a widely mentioned
compromise possibility for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination AS a
consequence, partisan political implica-
tons may be read into whatever he says
or does in the next few weeks. Senator
Symington, who has given no encourage
ment to the speculation about his presi-
dental prospects, has contended, how
ever, that his own approach to the air
power issue is nonpartisan-and he cites
his differences with both the Truman and
Eisenhower administrations to support
that contention.
A national defense program cannot
be evaluated effectively on a partisan
basis. 1t is not a simple task, at best.
There is no fixed amount of dollars and
no precise number Of planes or missiles
that can be considered q guarantee OF

u Vote for Kefouyer

The New Jersey primary tends to
prove two things The Democrats in that
State do not want Senator Kefauver as
their partyS candidate and that Presi-
dent Eisenhower would beat him If he
should get the nomination.
AS things stand, it looks as though
the Tennessee Senator has picked UP one
delegate who will have half a vote at the
nominating convention. On the eve of
the primary the Senator said he expected
to win 10 delegate votes. In the "popu-
larity contest" he was running far be-
hind President Eisenhower. The latest
available count gave the President 1885,
600 votes, Senator Kefauver $4,000. From
this it would appear that many Democrats
who voted in the delegate contest stayed
out OF the popularity race, being unwilling
to support Senator Kefauver, who was
running unoppoSed. Somewhat Surpris-
ingly, however, there were only about
1900 write-in votes for Adlai Stevenson.
Perhaps the only real winner" in
a light turnout of voters was Governor
Meyner, whose slate of delegates I'M
pledged but favorable to Stevenson,
scored an impressive triumph. If dead
locked Democratic convention should
begin to look around for dark horses, this
home-State showing certainly should
entitle the New Jersey Governor to some
thing more than quick once-over.

The Old Pros Take Over

Some old familiar faces, the real
"proS" Of the game, showed up in the
starring roles yesterday as big league
baseball got off to its customary chilly
April start. Ted Williams of the Red Sox,
Stan Musial of the Cardinals and Robin
Roberts Of the Phillies were notable
among the veterans who moved in to
lead their clubs to opening victories in
the play-for-pay season. It was similar
story, too, at Griffith Stadium, where
Yogi Berra, repeatedly Professor" STEM
gels favorite ball player, and Muscles
Mickey Mantle drove in nine runs be-
tween them to defeat the new Senators.
Up to now in the 1856 season, Mr.. Berra
has not yet been put out and Mr.. Mantle'S
home runs, if stretched end to end, would
reach almost from Griffith Stadium to
the Capitol.
Even so, there were some things in
triguing about our own new boys. Left
fielder Tettelbach, for example, showed
that going to Yale does not inhibit one
from hitting home runs-and he did that
on his first time up. Center1elder Olson,
another of the rockies, showed that one
does not necessarily have to go to Yale
to hit home runS-and he hit two. Both
of these lads made rookie President CAL
vim Griffith look good by parking their
home run balls behind the newly short
ened left-center field wall. The fact that
four out of six of the games homerS
dropped into this inviting area indicates
there may be considerably more home
run excitement at the stadium this year
than previously 1t is encouraging, con-
sequently, to know that some of our own
boys already have found the range.
