to file In Washington only such
reports as are required by their
State laws.
In announcing the leadership
decision to support a $4,000
ceiling on individual contribu-
tons, Senator johnson said:
after careful consultation
I'VE have amended the election
bill to place tight controls or
the campaign contributors who
have been scattering money Sc
lavishly through a number o.
States"
! Describing it as a reason
liable approach. Senator johnson
added:
1T would be combined with
the consolidated reporting fea-
lures that were originally in oui
bill. This would require con-
ltributors of more than $4,000
to file a consolidated report in
Washington showing exactly
where and how the money was
placed
The leaders have decided te
strike from their bill for the time
being the proposed income tax
deduction of UP to 500, or a
tax credit of $40 for campaign
contributions. which was de-
signed to encourage more citi-
zens to make small contributions
Under the Constitution, stax bills
cannot originate in the Senate
but these tax features could be
added to the bill in the House
where taxes must originate.
Senator johnson said ne is
confident this tax provision will
he part of the final legislation.

Midwest Still Likes Ike
Despite Farm Turmoil

for sure what the new farm bill
will accomplish when and If it
becomes law. 1t is certain. how
ever, that If it improves the
farmer economically, it will ease
the present pressure against Re-
publican candidates.
The farmers themselves are
divided over the questions OF
supports. Some are convinced
that if the rigid supports are
restored and continued. the re-
suit will be only to build up
billions of dollars worth of more
surplus crops, held by the Gov
eminent, to hang like a cloud
over farm prices. The Farm Bu-
reau Federation, the older and
largest farm organization, has
taken.a strong stand for flexible
supports. The more militant and
growing Farmers Union opposes
the flexible system and de-
mands rigid high supports.
A new organization-the Ma
tional Farmers Organization
Ifavoring the 80 per cent parity
price supports. has picked up
140, 900 members in five months,
in about eight farm States of
the Midwest. Dan w. Turner,
an Iowa farmer and a former
Republican Governor of his
State, is spear -heading the drive
for new members in Iowa. He
has said something has got to
be done for desperate young
farmers and renters. or the
g. o. P. will go the way Hoover
went in 1882"
The division among the farm

in the Minnesota poll conducted
by the Sunday Minneapolis

Senator Kefauver predicted

back in the conditions that led
to the depressions Of 1929"
AS a matter of policy. he said.
more than a million small farm
ers have been liquidated in the
last three and half years. Mr..
Benson. he said, seems more
interested in raising interest
rates for Wall Street than in
helping the farmer"
Senator Kefauver brought on
vigorous applause by also urging
use of farm SURPRISES to help
starving people abroad, even if
we have to give it to them"
He was applauded. too, when
he said the Democrats should

and feeling for the welfare of
the people as those of Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman.
On the question of racial seq

that he doesn't want opportuni-
ties for anyone curbed because
of race, religion or ancestry.

ohc and realize that there
would be limitations.) Retreats
are planned for different
adult groups-such as busi-
ness and professional women,
nurses, teachers - and for
adults in general.
At most of the retreat
houses there will be a retreat
for the general group from
about $50 pm. August 81 to
$50 pm. September 3. Several
from F. N. S. group might
avail themselves of this.
There is much to be gained
from a retreat if intentions
and attitudes are serious and
purpoSeful. Silence is most
essential since it eliminates
matter distracting to the aim
of the retreat.
A retreat may be a day of
recollection" a three-day or
f1ve-day regular retreat; then
there is a special eight-day re-
treat.
In this last, there is no re-
treat master. but there is
usually available an assigned
clergyman qualified to cope
with most problems and to
whom each retreatant may go
for personal assistance. In
every retreat a religious is as
signed.
In all my experiences at
home or abroad I have had
only one whom I did not find
completely compatible. Retreat
masters are chosen for their
high attachments and they pre-
pare their talks to suit the in
dividual group.
Conferences are spaced to
give ample time for thought on
what has been said. Also, if
desired, the retreatant may re-
quest, and will be given. time
for a personal discussion with
the retreat master.
There are numerous good
books on the retreat according
to St. Ignatius Loyola. His rule
for retreats is frequently used.
I know how much is to be
gained from a retreat and it
is my hope that these sug-
gestions will be helpful. If

More Than Forty Years
OF Retreat Experience
X. l., WASHINGTON

Having carefully considered
the requests for suggestions on
the formation of a retreat
group my advice (after more
than 40 years of experience
and benefits accrued from an

is that F. N. S. write to The
Cenacle Convent, Mt. Kisco,

These religious are pioneers
in the retreat movement for
women; they have excellent
material on hand which they
will send her and from which
she can get a list of their

schedule of retreats-in some
cases, even the names of re-
