Challenges
Des Moines In 3-Day
Contest Of Eating More Pork

For the next three days CThurs-
day, Friday and Saturday. Omaha
homemakers will be encouraged
to buy and serve pork 49, a highly
nutritious, plentiful farm product,
in good supply at reasonable
prices.
A.. v. Sorensen, president of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce,
which is coordinating the campaign
in the city, said Operation Pork
Lift" is the result of a request
from Council Bluffs and Potta-
wattamie County representatives
to participate in such a drive SIM
u~ltaneously in the two cities.
The campaign, he said, will SER
We a two-fold purpose: first, en-
courage the consumption of pork
and thus relieve the market sur
plus situation; and second, help
ourselves to better health by eat
ing more pork in greater variety.
1--WE have a strong regard for
the problem facing our farm
friends who have a surplus of
pork" Mr.. Sorensen added. 1--WE
are going to help our neighbors
by buying their products, and in
turn, help our own economy"
As Operation Pork Lift" began
in Omaha, Mayor John Rosenblatt
replied to Des Moines Mayor Ray
Mills who, Tuesday, called atten-
ton to a similar drive being held
the same dates in his city.
Mayor Mills called on Des
Moines residents to "out-eat Oma-
ha citizens, pointing out that "Des
Moines can do a better job than
the Nebraska city of cutting into
pork SURPRISES"
"We challenge Mayor Mills
statement that Des Moines can do
a better job than Omaha, Mayor
Rosenblatt said. 1--WE have a rep
uatation here in Omaha of getting
big jobs done, and Operation
Pork Lift" gives us another oppor-
tunity to prove it,"
He asserted that Omahans will
rally to the support of Operation
Pork Lift, out-buying and out
doing the Des Moines community
in the campaign .
Early this week, in company
with Chamber President A. v.
Sorensen, Mayor Rosenblatt visited
the Union Stock Yards Company
the worlds largest livestock and
meat-packing center 49, to watch
the unloading of top quality meat
type hogs.
Were extremely proud of our
market, and the products it pro-
vides from thousands of midwest
farms and ranches" he said.
"We're big business in livestock,
and we'll be big business in OPP
Grafton Pork Lift"
During the three-day campaign,
Omaha restaurants and hotels will
feature pork on their menus.
Schools, hospitals and other
groups will participate. And O.
maha housewives will be able to
buy a variety and quantity Of
pork cuts at their local markets at
current, reasonable prices.
Representatives of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture are in O.
maha to assist in informing the
buying public about pork values.

A spur-of- the moment display of
American military interest in
Southeast Asia has suddenly been
scheduled for this week end, the
Defense and State Departments an
nounced last Thursday.
About 1000 American troops will

fly into Bangkok in helicopters.
About 600 or TOO Filipino troops as
well as Thai forces are also sched-
uled to participate in the exercise.

the Soviet Union and the United

Until the Soviet Union produces

Kremlin's charges need not be
taken at face value. Even then, of
course. the Soviet case will not be
proved. But 1t would be strength

protests serve several Soviet pur-
poses. They focus the contempt of

Against the. background of the
feverish race for 1,500-mile ballis-

officials think the Russians may
obtain this year, it was perhaps
time to wonder whether the ground
work for "ballistic blackmail" was
not already being laid.

was evidently q companion piece

Of all. They are ahead Of us in

Presidents Evoiuotion

On Wednesday President Eisen-
hover did not deny Senator Sym
ingtou's charges of the preceding
Sunday. In fact, he obliquely cor
roborated them.
In certain (missile) fields think
they tthe Russians) are probably
ahead Of u.s." he said. But" he
added, those are limited fields in
a great big field"
He also said that I'm certain
fields I am sure we are well ahead

jackson indicated later, are prob
ably In defensive missiles, like the
Army's Nike anti-aircraft missile;
the Air Forces ground-to-air Be-
marc and air-to-air Falcons; or the
Nays air-to-air Terriers.
MIR. Eisenhower's obvious inten-
ton was to minimize the import
ance Of what he termed limited"
Soviet successes and to emphasize
the overall lead which he appar-
emily believes the United States still
enjoys. He made these other points:
]. We cont Iced ocross the boord

This whole field of guided mis-
siles is very broad one. In this
whole field, broad as it is in the
production of engines, Of instru-
ments for guiding them. methods of

Three Other Voices

BEFORE the week WAS Oub dlIee
other prominent voices spoke out.

radiated confidence. But Deputy
Chief of Staff Of the Air Force. Gen.

pessimistic. He said the Russians

More support for the optimists
came from an unexpected source:
Sir Frederick Brundrett. top scien-
tific adviser to Great Britain's Min
lister of Defense, who Is privy to
whatever intelligence information
London has collected on the missiles
race.
Reached in Ottawa by The Sum
day Star, he volunteered the opinion
that The United States il ahead

credited with. / don't know for

Sir Frederick denied. however.
that Britain already has medium
range rockets of 700-mile or 300
mile reach, capable Of hitting Ber-
lin or the Soviet satellites. He said
he believes the Soviet Union is

As the week closed, one Of the
toughest election-year battles shap-
ing up was over how much help
should be given farmers and what
form that help should take.
This year. as in 1854 when the
issue last was in center stage, the
height and fiexibility of crop sup
ports will be the toughest problem
in the whole field of farm legis-
lation.
The Senate Agriculture Commit
tee at midnight Thursday wound
up four weeks of closed hearings
on an omnibus farm bill that in
cluded a soil bank plan, which Pres
ident Eisenhower wants. and re-
turn to a high, fixed price support
level. which he doesn't want. The
bill faces rough-and- tumble going
on the floor.
With provisions for high crop
supports. the measure faces the adj
ditional hurdle Of winning White
House approval. Mr.. Eisenhower
reiterated early last week his OPP
position to high fixed supports.
saying that return to them would
defeat the main object" of his
program, which Is aimed at reducing
crop SURPRISES as well as putting
more money into the pockets Of
farmers.
The Senate group voted IL to 5
to report the omnibus bill, but high
supports won by only 81. The
bill would restore 80 per cent sup
ports to the five basic" crops
wheat. cotton, corn, rice and pea
nuts-for the remainder of this
year and next year. The flexible
support formula, now in effect,
provides price guarantees ranging
from rs per cent to 90 per cent

that a return to high supports will
mean $500 million more this year
