loans. Third, the farmer is not
eligible if he can obtain other
credit on repayment terms that he
can meet. Fourth, this credit can
not be used to refinance other
debts. And last, it is expected that
it will be repaid at the time of ths
sale of crops or products it is
used to produce.
The last two points warrant
some elaboration. For example,
many farmers went into debt last
spring for the purchase of seed,
fertilizer and equipment. The crops
were burned up, and there has
been no revenue from which to pay
off the suppliers. Under the Emer-
gency Loan Program, emergency
funds cannot be used for this pur-
pose either. Neither can they COM
pensate the farmer for his loss.

BrandyWine Rdceway'S first 40
night meet-its fifth season of op-

track, the horsemen and the State
of Delaware benefiting as never
before
Figures released Monday of this
week by track President Howard
A. Miller showed that taxes the
state will receive total $3.50, ,480.42,
as compared to last seasons total
of $419,571.29, a gain of $780,
9O9.I3 or SIS per cent.
The states take" is derived
from the mutuel handle and admis-
sions. This seasons wagering
reached a record $17,774,349, at
tendance skyrocketed to 353, 1883.
Each year since it's opening in
1853 an increase in the money
turned over to the state has been
noted. In the inaugural season of
20 nights $232,927.02 was the total.
In 1854, with 80 nights, the state
received S360,318.62; in 1855, same
number of racing nights, $780,
OS1.88, and last years 30-night
season was tops until the record
breaking 1857 meet concluded on
a wave of new betting marks Sat

AS for the horsemen, meaning
the owners, trainers, drivers and
the grooms, this was most profit
able meet. Almost without prece-
dence in harness racing history,
Brandywine Raceway raised the
purses of the horsemen not once,
not twice, but five times.
This struck such popular
chord that tracks all over the ma

turned a youthful SO last October, is not
one who needs an incentive to long life.
But as long ago as last June 1t was an
nounced that he was the Oldest man ever
to serve in the Congress. recheck on
congressional vital statistics established
that his title" would not be clear until
ast~November. He made it easily and
was still relaxed. Now, it seems, there
have been two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES from
Ohio and one from North Carolina-who
were still pacing the halls of Congress
at even more advanced ages. Senator
Green's next headline" comes late in
May. Those who have known him
through his long career in public service,
in his present energetic Craftsmanship of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
and in the full calendar of Washington
social life have no fears. Neither, one
may be sure, has the Senator.

SpeideI in NATO

The West German government has
made good choice in nominating Lieu
tenant General Hans Speidel for the post
Of commander of Central European
ground forces in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. Besides being a
scholar in history and philosophy, he is
topnotch soldier admirably equipped to
take on his prospective new assignment,
and NATO's prompt confirmation of his
appointment may be regarded as a
foregone conclusion.
This is>sQ primarily because the alli-
ance's military leaders, including not
least of all the French, greatly respect
the soldierly abilities General Speidel has
demonstrated through long and dis
tinguiShed career that began in the early
days Of the First World War. More than
that, in political sense, his allied NATO
colleagues think highly of him as good
European" man dedicated to the idea
OF promoting the closest possible CO.
operation to establish a genuinely strong,
prosperous and enduring Atlantic COM
munity of free nations. In looks, thought
and action, he is the opposite of the pop
~O@~NNtSSAOAA
sive PrusSian general.
Chancellor Adenauer's government at
Bonn has selected General Speidel in
response to an invitation from our own
General Lauris Norstad, NATOs supreme
commander. Both the invitation and the
selection emphasize the Importance that
the Atlantic allies attach to the idea Of
having free Germany contribute its full
share to the common defense of the West.
In terms of troops in being, that contri-
button has been meager so far, but Bonn's
build-up schedule calls for the creation
OF five new divisions within the year, and
General Speidel, when he takes charge
Of the alliances ground forces in Central
Europe, can be counted upon to do his
best to keep his own countrys efforts
from tagging behind or from falling
seriously short of what they are supposed
to be.

Indio's CONTEMPT

midas contemptuous disregard Of
United Nations opinion on the Kashmir
question is shocking and diScouraging.
Equally so is its disregard for whatever
may be the wishes of the KaShmiri people
promised nearly decade ago that they
would have the same rights to political
self-determination given to all Indian
states when the subcontinent was parti-
toned. Indeed, India'S offense in this
matter is compounded by the fact that it
was Prime Minister Nehru himself who
f1rst proposed after partition that Kash-
miri sentiment - on whether the state
wished to join India or Pakistan, or be-
come ndependent-should be established
through free vote of the people. It was
largely on the basis of that proposal that
the United Nations in 1948 1850 and 1851
called for "a free and impartial plebi-
settle" in the territory, to be conducted
under the neutral auspices of the world
agency. BY vote of 10 to 0, the Security
Council now has reaff1rmed that position.
The answer of Mr.. Nehru's government is
that Kashmir has been an "inseparable"
part of India since 1947, and that the
formality of its accession Is now "irre-
NOCdUlc.
Preceding this latest Haunting of world
judgment is the long and consistent rec
ord of midas refusal to withdraw its
troops from Kashmir or to allow the
plebiscite to be held At the same time,
it has Systematically crushed political
freedom within the territory = ousting
opposition leaders from Office and even
failing some who dared express their dis
agreement with Indian policies. It's arbi-
trary position today is justified" on the
grounds that Kashmiri Constituent AS
Sembly-purged of opposition leaders and
completely SubServient to Indian wishes
has adopted constitution authorizing
accession of the state to the Republic of
India. Without qualification, the Security
Councils latest resolution declares that
this action does not constitute dispo-
sition of the state"
1t is not surprising that midas de-
FAINT action has prompted protest vio-
lence in Pakistan. But violence does not
offer a solution, and indeed it Is the
danger that violence might become war
that is causing gravest concern today.
The Security Council resolved Ito con-
tinue its consideration" of the KaShmir
dispute. PakiStan should continue to
press its cause before the U. N. And Mr..
Nehru should think again about his own
course and the indictment brought
against it by such an important body Of
world opinion.

Quick and the Dead

What causes traffic deaths?
Reaction time is largely re-
sponsible. Yet the authorities
lament the condition but do
nothing to establish tests to
help rectify the problem. And
we can do something about it
beforehand by checking the
prospective driver for his abili-
ty to stop his car within a rea-
sonable distance after a danger
signal.
Driving reaction time is sim
ply the lapse Of time from a
danger signal until the driver
hits his brake pedal. There are
drivers who cannot stop with
in 200 feet while travelling 80
m.p.h.; whereas the average
driver can do SO in 80 feet.
Reaction time may be deter
mined by a simple measure
ment and many colleges have
the equipment. Let's get this
equipment into the hands of
traffic officials and see that it
is used.
Many drivers will be put out
of business, but they and their
potential victims will live. I'm
sure those in both categories
will agree it's a worthwhile
compromise. Then we'll be able
to do something about the
slaughter demonstrated on the
last Christmas holiday when
over 700 were killed.
