speeches before taking it up"
Ellender Agrees
Senator Ellender said he agrees
with Senator Cotton that the
longer Congress delays approval
of the soil bank program and its
offer of $1.2 billion in election
year payments, the fewer farm
ers will participate.
Senators took a weekend re-
cess because many of them had
political engagements for St
Patrick's Day.
Prospects for passage tomor-
row also are dim. Majority
Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, Dem
ocrat of Texas, got agreement to
put the farm bill aside tomorrow
to consider 1874 other bills now
on the calendar for passage by
consent.
Chairman Ellender held the
Agriculture Committee in several

the bill to the Senate February

Senator Cotton commended
some Democrats want to foozle
up the farm program because il
is the only peg they can hang
their hats on" in the coming
elections.
Senator Ellender replied that
Senator Cotton and other Re-
publicans ARE entitled to voice
their opinions, but anyone who
has listened to Senate farm bill
debate knows they have beer

Meanwhile Senator Humphrey

one-year restoration of manda-
tory rigid supports on basic farm
crops may be put in the bill by
a Senate House conference.
So far the Senate has defeated
efforts to junk the flexible and
lower price supports won by the
administration in 1854.

Won't Put Up
Candidate

The Fairfax County Save Our.
Schools Committee yesterday de-
|cided against putting UP its own
candidate for the March 5 Vir-
ginia constitutional convention
The committee said it win aim
its sights on legislation which
will follow the convention.
However. the committee au-
thorized its officers to screen
convention candidates to see il
any embraces principles held by
the committee.
The officers were authorized
to attempt to get q candidate
to run. without official endorse
ment. If they decide none would
accurately represent the commit
tees views and the people Of
Fairfax.
The committee fought the call
ing OF the convention TO amend
the Constitution to allow State
aid for private education. Qppo-
nents voted down the proposal in
Fairfax ard other jurisdictions
in the 10th district, but the
convention carried q to / over
the State.
The committee unanimously
voted yesterday against putting
up candidate after Chairman
Warren Quenstedt warned they
would face another hard fight.
I'VE would run the risk OF
losing and ii might look like a
of the January
vote against the convention" Mr.
Quenstedt said.

In 1894. a Virginia district

This decision was reversed by
