Ohio Farmers Will
Get Average Soil
Bank Pay OF S485

COLUMBUS-Ohio farmers will
receive checks from the United
States Department of Agriculture
totaling over six and one-half mil
lion dollars, according to Wallace
Barr, Ohio State University extern
sion agricultural economist.
These checks are payments for
land entered in the 1856 soil bank
acreage reserve program.
Payments due Ohio farmers
who signed before the July 27
deadline total S6,747,O21. This is
an average of $485 per farmer par
ticipating in the 1856 program.
Seven and one-half per cent of all
the farmers in Ohio, or 1924
farmers, signed land under the
program.
Under the acreage reserve pro-
gram, farmers are paid for each
acre of land retired from produc-
ton. This land may be planted to
legumes or other cover crops but
no crop may be harvested or graz
ed. The program is designed to aid
soil development in addition to re-
ducing surplus production, accord
ing to USDA officials.
Ohio farmers entered land from
three crops in the 1856 acreage re-
serve program.
Corn leads the list with 135, ,042
acres; wheat follows with 10,26S
and tobacco acres entered total
268 acres. One hundred and eighty
one acres of tobacco acres are for
hurley tobacco and 81 acres are
cigar filler.

Social Security
Debate Nears
BY J. A. O'LEARY

The Senate Finance Committee
may begin debating today the
two most controversial features
of the social security bill, to
lower the retirement age for
women from SIS to 81, and to
permit disabled persons to retire
at so.
The committee voted tenta-
lively yesterday to accept House
provisions bringing 100000 more
individuals, mostly in the pro-
fesSions, under the old-age re-
tirement system. The new cover
age includes lawyers, dentists,
chiropractors. veterinarians, nat
uropathS and optometrists.
The House bill had included
oSteopathS, but the Senate COM
mittee eliminated them. One
member said it was done at the
request of that group. Both bills
leave out physicians.
The Eisenhower administra-
ition favored the extended COW
erage. but is opposed to the lower
age limits for women and dis
abled persons. Informed sources
say there is a good chance the
administration will win its fight
TO eliminate these two provisions
III the committee. But the SEN
ate as a whole may reverse the
committee if that happens.
Secretary of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare Folsom ex-
planned the reasons for the adj
ministration's opposition to the
provisions to all Republican
Senators at a closed meeting OF
the G. o. P. Policy Committee
yesterday.
The Republicans took no for
NAL action, however, and there
were no indications how many
of them would vote for and
against the lower age limits.
Chairman Bridges of the Policy
Committee told reporters Mr.
Folsom would not say whether
President Eisenhower would veto
the bill if it reached him in its
present form.
1t may take the Finance Com
mittee until some time next week
to finish voting on the measure

individual Senators plan to offer
in the various welfare programs
which are financed Jointly by

mentS

A Problem of Peace and Freedom

means compatible with Ger
man freedom. But he could
only hold forth the hope that
somehow, in inscrutable time,
justice and freedom will tri-
umph. In Germany disillusion-
ment with the West is growing
daily, as the hope rises that
the nation may buy its free
dom elsewhere. But unless Ger
many can be taken over from
within, the partition will re-
main, because it is the line of
peace between the powers.
Truly the love of freedom
burns everywhere. But the de-
NAL of the right of the citizen
to bear arms in its cause
renders it impotent.
War is then reduced to the
actions of terrorist bands,
preying on women and chill
drep, mining roads and the
farmers fields. disintegrating
economies. spreading panic.
Just to the moment when the
great powers decide that such
hostilities may involve them
selves and that there had
better be another truce.
Today the alternative is
worse. Yes, much worse. But
the price is the sacrifice of
more and more freedom, ma
tional and individual. by the
weak; ultimately, also, by the
strong as we'll.

A Vital Principle Is Reoffirmed

the inquiry or investigation is

which Congress may legislate.
The fact that such an inquiry
or investigation may reveal
something or expose some
thing is incidental and without
effect upon the validity of the
inquiry"
The witness in this case
undertook to decide for him
self whether Congress ought
to require him to give the
names of Communists he knew
in the union movement.
The court says this is for Con-
greSs to determine unless a
Fifth Amendment plea is inter-
posed as a reason for refusal

therefore. is of far-reaching
neutrality-suspicious. this
passage:
Congress has before it the
important duty to legislate
effectively, but at the same
time wisely, upon the problems
posed by the world Communist
movement. 1t cannot perform
that duty without information.
1t ought not try to perform it
without information. We think
that the joint resolution
authorized an inquiry into
inflltration by Communists
into labor unions and that
this inquiry was such an in
CURRY"
Thus does a high court dis
pose of the allegation that a
congressional com mi tie e S
search for information can be
restricted. if not broken down
altogether, by the SpeciouS
plea that it might expose"
something unpleasant about
the past associations of a per-
son who once was in the Com
munist movement or knew
something about its operations.
Unless the Fifth Amendment
is offered as a reaSon-a fear
of self determination - the
citizen owes a duty to tell a
duly constituted committee of
Congress what he knows.
