in a sizeable section with many
votes in Middle West and

ayers do not want to see the
spread of political unrest else

What most concerns admin
istration economists and polit-
ical managers just now are
reports that political discon-
tent with the Republican Party
is beginning to move from
rural areas into small towns,
and even cities, in the Middle
West and South where bust
ness is suffering because of the
fall in farm income. There was
ample warning of this months
ago-in last November's cleo
tons in fact-when 70 Indiana
towns ousted Republican
mayors and elected Democrats.
Most recent reports of grow
ing antagonism to the admin
istration in retail business in
towns and cities dependent
upon farmers comes from Ohio.
In between were the Mime
sofa and Wisconsin primaries
with their revelation of dis
satisfaction in farm areas with
the Eisenhower administra-
ton. 1t shows itself in other
signs, among them the move
ment of the Non-Partisan
League in North Dakota bodily
into the Democratic Party
from the Republican Party
with which this agrarian po-
litical organization had for so
many years affiliated itself.
A motivating influence was

shift took place in late March

manifestation of the farm re-

THOMAS L. STOKES

The potential economic and
political danger inherent in
greatly reduced farm income in
the Middle West and South is
becoming increasingly disturb
ing to Eisenhower administra-
ton economists and political
experts.
This was manifest in the
desperation with which the
Republican leadership in the
House, acting on direct orders
from President Eisenhower.
tried in vain to amend the new
Democratic farm bill to per-
nit advance payments to
farmers for land which would
not be put into the soil bank
until 1857.
It was estimated that this
proposal, which was twice re-
jected by the House. would
have meant $500 million in
cash payments to farmers in
this election year. 1t naturally
provoked cries from Democrats
of politics" and vote buy
ing" That was like q delayed
echo many years later of Re-
publican charges Of the same
sort directed at Democratic
proposals for farmers and I'M
employed in the cities during
the depression in the early
days of the Franklin D. Roose-
welt administration.
While this Republican device
of advance payments served to
debate somewhat the encon-
omiums of courageous" heaped
upon the President when he
vetoed the original farm bill,
nevertheless it emphasized the
basic economic need involved
which the President recog-
nized. That is to pump some
money quickly into the Ian
gushing farm economy before
the harmful effects of di-
minishing purchasing power in
one large area begin to infect

happened before so disastrous

selves are puzzled as to just
how - or why - this should
be done when ample interna-
tional organizations already
exist and are operating for
that express purpose. There is
the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation. the
General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GAT'T) and its
operating branches, and the
Coal-Steel Community. All
these many -colored outfits are
busy doing something, or
nothing. and they provide
ample machinery for positive
action when and If the will

part of the member nations,

has come up with a concrete
proposition for NATO's eco

has almost no chance of &C
ceptance. 1t involves the
creation Of a $2-billion fund
to subsidize private firms will
ing to engage in NATO-
sponsored technical assistance
programs and projects in
Western Europe. The idea
would be that such a fund,
administered by a special COM
mittee of NATO, would help
the underdeveloped countries
in direct competition with the
Soviet aid plans, whose inroads
are beginning to be felt
seriously. But on the face of
it, the chief beneficiary of
the money would be West

tributor would be guess who

it out of committee and through
the Senate by the end of next
week.
Senator Aiken Of Vermont,
ranking Republican on the COM
mittee, says. I'm for that; I'd
like to see the end of that bill,
so the farmers can know where
they are going"
Both, however, want a few
changes made in the House bill.
If the Senate agrees with them,
more time would be consumed in
reconciling these differences.
Feed Grain Props Hit
Another element of uncer-
tainty has been injected into the
picture by President Eisenhow-
er's news conference criticism of
the bills provision fixing manda-
tory supports for feed grains at
higher levels than now prevail

Modified from the form in
which it drew the Presidents fire
when he vetoed the omnibus
farm bill last month. the feed
grain provision went through

the G. o. P. leadership. There
were indications that Mr.. Essen

Arms Race Continues

Mr.. Hammarskjold's final re-
port to the Council is expected
to offer recommendations for
keeping the pace. Indications
that neither side is willing to
call off the arms race has pointed
up the need for further peace
efforts.

There is q general belief in

mission to the area soon. The
main aim would probably be to
consolidate the gains made on
this trip.

ROME. May 5 (P.-United

Hammarskjold leaves today for
his New York headquarters to
make a detailed personal report
on his month-long mission to
the troubled Middle East.
The tireless U. N. official put in
~ hours yesterday going over
final arrangements with his TOP
truce aides. He is finishing up
the report he will deliver to the
U. N. Security Council.
Security Council delegates
plan a warm welcome for Mr..
Hammarskjold when he arrives
in New York tomorrow. He is
expected to make a short state
ment to newsmen.
Arabs in Brief Spat
In rs days of personal diplo-
macy, Mr.. Hammarskjold won
cease-fire pledges from Israel
and four Arab NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. The
exact extent to which these
pledges commit each state will
not be known until the Security
Council convenes - probably
within q week.
A brief spat between the Arab
allies yesterday revealed they do
not see eye to eye on how far
the agreements bind them.
Lebanon accused Syria Of let
ting her down by granting a
cease-f1re without a written Is
raeli promise not to divert irri-
cation waters from the Jordan
River. Later Lebanon accepted
the Syrian position that it's
pledge covered the river issue
in another way.
Lebanon indicated earlier that
she had agreed to cease fire
only so long as Israel did not
resume the river project, dormant
for az years. The Israelis have
said they will not delay it in
definitely.
