Can Mood Pills Really

in the last II MONTHS Americans have spent over $780,
100000 buying little pills called tranquizers that promise
them new pleasureword Of relaxation, freedom from
worry and assurance of regular sleep.
In some cities, drugstores herald shipments Of pop
ular uanquilizers like Midtown and Equanil with huge
banners spashed across their windows. Pbox manufac

But to answer Mr.. Frazer's question (beIow),
can you and members Of your family safely
take them?
Here, in THIS WEEK roundup, are the facts.
There are two general categorieS of tran
quilizerS. Category One contains the very
powerful pills, such as Thorazine and Sparine,
and very similar compounds like Rauwiloid
which have had phenomenal success in mental
institutions. They have released patients from
strait jackets and brought minds back from the
dead. Big institutions across the country, such
as Illinois Manteno State Hospital, report
that brain surgery to cure mental conditions
has virtually disappeared, eIectric-shock treat
mentS are down as much as 90 per cent and
wards once turbulent with the VERY disturbed
are peaceful.
For Minor Tensions
In Category Two are the mild tranquiIizefs,

Most Category One drugs apparently act in
pretty much the same way, depressing the CEN

impulses are not shot up to the brain where
they are turned into anger, fear, anxiety and
other such responses. l found that many peo-

In view of what can be seen now,
here are some suggestions:
1. Sell wheat from the combine if
you can obtain the approximate sup
port price for your class and grade.
Prospect of enough rise above that
level to cover storage costs and risk
of damage is quite slim.
z. Store your wheat if the price at
harvest is appreciably below the net
loan value and if the wheat is clean
and dry. If you need the money
apply for a CCC loan. If you don't.
then hold in expectation of ID sell
ing if prices approach the loan value
by early winter or ~ getting the
protection Of government loan or
purchase agreement before the Janu-
airy 81 deadline if prices do not rise.
8. Place in acreage reserve part of
your 1856 spring wheat acreage allot-
ment If the soil bank program prom
lses to pay as well as or better than
a wheat crop. Plan to place part of
your 1857 winter wheat acreage allot-
ment in the program if next years
terms look attractive when applied
to your farm.
4. Plant a class and variety of
wheat that is in demand even if you
have to make a moderate sacrifice
IN yield. Keep away from any of
the "a varieties on which there is a
discount of 20 cents bushel in loan
value.

the crop and to give an incentive

the crop and to give an incentive
to pillow under or NOW good wheat.
The maximum acreage a wheat grow
er may put in the reserve is half of
his wheat allotment or so acres, which
ever is larger. The minimum is the
larger of 10 per cent of the allotment
or 5 acres. For planting 1856
winter wheat allotments because of ad-
verse weather, the payment will be
81 an acre.
The late start and the time it will
take to acquaint farmers with the pro-
gram will hold down the amount of par
ticipation this year. The rates set are
only for 1856. The 1857 program will be
on more permanent basis. Presuma-
bly,, it will be designed to obtain SUBJ
stantial participation by growers.
Of this years carryover, the govern
ment probably will own about one bill
lion bushels acquired at cost of about
$2.8 billions and costing $3.50 millions
year for storage. If participation in
the soil bank is as large as officially ex-
pected and yields remain near the
levels of recent years, stocks might be
worked down near normal in three or
four years.
Yields, however, are in rising
trend. Farmers may apply new
techniqueS more rapidly and fer
tilize remaining acreage more
heavily and thus offset part of the
reduction in acreage and prOlOng
the time required to bring stocks
down to normal. Until these stocks
are greatly reduced, the average
level of prices season after season
is likely to be governed largely by
price supports.
The market outlook for this season
varies for the different classes of wheat.
Extent of the variation will be some
what uncertain until more definite fig
ureS are available on carryover and
production of each class.
Durum wheat supplies will be a long
way toward normal if the June crop
forecast of 1875 million bushels is APP
preached. In that case, prices for this
class are likely to be down near sup
port levels much of the crop year
instead Of far above it as in the last
three seasons. The crop prospect can
again change drastically by harvest,
however.

the Middle East much moro directly affects world history,
and particularly the position Of the West than Korea. Then,
too, there is a very decided American interest in that area.
Whether the United States will be able to keep out entirely,
or for long, is a matter which requires much careful maneuver-
ing.
a The Presidents health history raises dark clouds over
the future. Even after the glowing reports Of the physical
examination at Walter Reed Hospital, many doctors through
out the country are wondering whether a serious heart attack,
plus ileitis, all within a nine-month span, plus the killing
rigors Of the Presidency can keep the President active enough
for the full second term. And if the President should not
serve out his term, the feeling is that the Old Guard Republi
can conservatism will blossom forth again.
ONLY 1 WILL tell. The President has the popular
vote, and its is heavy. The Democrats are trying to make a
case for the future = a future in which neither the Eisenhower
influence nor inspiration may have its effect. Only the next
few hours will tell.

Editorial
LAST-MINUTE OBSERVATIONS
o TIL EVE Of the national election a few observations,
bringing things up to date, should be in order.
AS P%REVIOUSL said in this corner, and the polls
everywhere are pretty well agreed, President Eisenhower is
strongly favored to succeed himself. The reasons given by
~polLtakers and columnists, and which everyone knows, are
the Presidents tremendous personal popularity. People be-
licve that in a crisis it would be better to just trust things to
IKE.
UP TO A few days ago there had been a peace, at least
there was no shooting war, and the resounding campaign
echoes of Peace, Prosperity and Progress was never-ending.
OF course, two changes have come in the last few days, The
word peace" has been dropped from the threesone, and Vice
President Nixon has added that President Eisenhower (pok-
en- Of in this context as GeneraD is best qualified to win" a
war.
U THERE IS another, calmer and more resolute side
to the whole picture. "A closer look at the situation : beyond
November 6 : could reveal much.
|. President Eiisenhower, regardless Of objections to the
contrary, will cease, in effect, to be the leader Of his party.
The reason for this is that he will be a lame duck President
because of the Constitutional amendment that no President
may serve more than two TERMS. The President in this second
term cannot call the shots. He cannot exercise the influence
which an election could guarantee, and the natural ~tendancy
will be to turn to his successor, and court him for favors and
influence in the belief that he may be the next candidate :
and win.

Adherence to focusing on the
