Robert Glotfelty presented the
topic, Social Security-How Far

choice of paying social security for
farmers would not be practical, nor
would il be possible to set a salts
factory age limit for deciding
whether or not man wants social
security coverage.
The group felt that a farmers
wife who works off the farm should
not be exempt from paying social
security. It was felt fair to audit

Viewpoint
Sen. John Marshall Butler
The Public Trust

I ne FuDllC iIuSl
Should Senator Kennedy of
Massachusetts consider a sequel to
his excellent book, "Profiles in
Courage" he might well begin with
Presidents EisenhoWer's historic
action of last week in vetoing
a hodge-podge, unavoidable II yet
seemingly unavoidable-farm bill
In one dCmonstrative manner. the
President proved not only great
personal and political courage but
also placed in the spotlight of pub
lie approval the wholesome integri-
ty of his Administration. Senator
Kennedy explains in his book that
courage is a diamond with many
facets" suggesting that the Presi-
dents veto is "a diamond of the
first water'-clear and valuable
All will agree that the farmers
of the Nation are caught in a
squeeze not of their making-a
squeeze between the prices they
receive for the results of their labor
and the prices they must pay for the
necessities of life. Farm income in
general has fallen below the pre-
Korean War level In each section
of the country, the seriousness of
the so-called farm problem" has
been variOusly interpreted. Proba-
bly,, the greatest impact has been
noted in the midwest wheat belt
a fact indicated by the 10 Republi-
can Senators who joined with the
Democratic majority in supporting
this faulty farm legislation.
In retrospect, it seems that the
strategy of the opposition leaders
was deliberately intended to put
the President on the spot in the
sense that 1856 is another crucial
election year and that the farm
bloc vote could not be ignored.
Fortunately, for the good Of all of
the people OF America. President
Eisenhower refused TO cast out
principle and reason in favor OF
political e,.pediency. He refused to
Weld to the presSures of a single
interest group, and thereby the
plot ana tactics of the opposition
will most surely boomerang.
Unsympathetic to the problems
and plight of the farmers-this is
the hue and cry coming from GER
tain partisan quarters. Not 50, For
President Eisenhower, his Secre-
tary of Agriculture, and his Adj
ministration have firmly advocated
a system OF flexible price supports
and soil banks as a proper means
Of attacking the tremendous stores
Of surplus agricultural products,
and thus generating increased
farm income promptly With speed,
the Congress can yet pass another
bill which would provide $500 mil
lion for farmers this year
It continues to be the objective
of the Eisenhower Administration
to end the shameful waste of farm
SURPRISES, to reduce the high cost
of subsidies and to provide farm
ers with long-range program for
an Independent, self-reliant agri-
culture.

"A Report to the President by the
Presidents Commission on Veter-
ans Pensions
Using thousands of such statistics
compiled during a year OF work.
General Omar N Bradley and 9th
er members oi the Presidents Com
mission filled their report with
seventy recommendation designed
to adjust our system of veterans
| benefits to new conditions"
The proposed adjustments, if en-
acted into law, would have a direct
effect on many of today's 81 100000
lservicemen. veterans and their fam
lilies and, of course. an indirect eff
feet on the entire population.
Two-fod Idea
Il is hoped that the veterans af-
fairs committees in both the House
and the Senate will act promptly
to arrange hearings on the Bradley
Report at the earliest possible date.
Personally. | feel l must reserve
my judgment on the complex series
of suggestions until | have given
a great amount of additional study
to the entire matter but | can say
now that | am in general agree
ment with the basic two-fold idea
in the committees Recommended
tons. That is:
l. That 'service-connected com
pensation and related benefits
should be liberal, even generous"
?. That benefits not directly con-
nected with duty in the armed
services should be provided, when
ever possible, through Government
programs already in effect for non
veterans.
Future Magnitude
According TO the commission, adj
justments along those lines are
necessary because the magnitude
and scope of veterans require
ments will be so large in future
years-if traditional patterns are
followed-that the moral and eco
nomic stability of our whole So
ciety can be adversely affected
An indication of what might be
expected if changes are not made
can be gained from the fact that
under existing laws, the accumu-
lated cost of benefits for each
Spanish-American War serviceman
is about $4,000. the committee re-
ported
Again I would like to state that
I do not intend to either support
or reject any of the committees
proposals until they have been sub
iected to full discussion and study.
However, | did want to acquaint
the people of Maryland immediate
ly with an issue which might be-
come as controversial as any we
have faced in recent years.

H SEIZURE Of the Suez Canal BY General Canal
Abdel Nasser might bring the world closer to armed conflict
than at any time since World War II. In any such move the
real issues are very likely to be obscured
WHAT is HERE involved, and by far the most serious
and important issue is the utter and complete disregard Or
respect for international treaties and agreements. Put another
way, the whole fabric of International economic agreements
could crrmble if Nasser5s seizure Of the Suez Canal becomes
the standard and accepted practice.
NATIONS DO NOT run around with money in their
pockets, buying for cash everything they use. Instead, they
set up agreements through which exchanges are made and
cleared. Private citizens and businesses in one part Of the
world buy shares and stocks in foreign companies, set up
accounts and the like, and handle their business through well
accepted methods. The entire economic structure of the bust
ness world would collapse if any nation, at its whim, could
disregard and throw out the window its continents and hon
ored agreements.
4 THE UEZ would automatically 60 to Egypt
in 1868, and Egypt and Nasser knows this. This is not a case
Of Egypts right to the Canal. Everyone knows that What is
frightening in the whole matter is the wanton and utter dis
regard for sacred agreements which could turn the world
into an International highway Of grab and keep, the strongest
nation doing the most grabbing and the most keeping
AGAIN, Masters seizure Of the Canal is a clear exam
pie of what dictatorship can do when it gets out Of hand, as
those who rule become drunk with power and promptly throw
overheard all that is basic and right as laws and agreements
are flouted.
FREE WORLD has an opportunity to prove that
il has peaceful intentions, and it has started in the right di-
rection BY calling a conference Of "a nations to meet in Lon
don. Care should be taken not to make of Nasser either a hero
Of a martyr, which is exactly what he is working for.
AGAIN, NASSER miscalculated the entire situation
