THE GREAT
GAME OF
POLITICS
By FRANK R. KENT
Copyright by The Baltimore Sun and -
wrinted in The Republican By permissiO@s


IN Issue Al Last.
In recent weeks there have been
some widely scattered meetings of
politicians Of both parties with the
general idea Of developing either
an attractive issue for the 1858
campaign or a dynamic presidential
candidate for 1860. 1t cannot be
said that either party has made
anything like satisfactory prog
ress along either line However,
a real separation of the two parties
on a matter Of high principle does
seem about to emerge from Con-
gress which can accurately be called
a national issue and upon which
the country seems really divided.
This is embodied in the so-called
HelPs Canyon project. The latest
Senate vote on this plan to push
the Government still further along
The path Of socialism and public
power owership showed 43 out of
the 10 Democratic senators favoring
this monstrous and costly proposal.
In other words, all the Democrats
except Il few consistent and con-
servative friends of private enter
prise such as Senators Byrd and
Robertson, Of Virginia, and the
courageous Lausche. of Ohio. On
the other hand, the Republicans in
the Senate denounced the bill as a
wild-eyed Government ownership
and state socialism plan whose ulti-
mate cost to the taxpayers would
be close to $3,O00,000,OO0.

Thus, the issue would be made
clear, with the Democrats almost
uni,cdly on record as against pri-
waite enterprise and in favor of a
closer approach to national social
ism and the Republicans on record,
both as to the President and in
Congress, as strongly opposed to
any further governmental encroaeh
ment upon private enterprise not
only in the field Of electric power
but in the field of all the other
basic industries to which the pend
ing legislation would equally well
apply 1t is wen to note that in adj
ditlon to practically all the Demo-
cratic leaders always excepting
Senators Byrd and Lausche) the
Hell's Canyon Government owner
ship bill is supported by all the
lcftWin@ socialistically inclined
groups in the country.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1957-07-04

These include, Of course, the
Americans for Democratic Action
and the CIO-AFL labor combina-
ton which politically is becoming
more and more dominated by Mr..
Walter Reuther, whose early as
sociation with the Communist party
has been many times charged and
not ever fully denied. Last week
the extraordinary letter from
Russia which Walter Reuther and
his brother, Vie, once wrote to
their other brother urging him to
keep up the fight to "Sovietize
America was again widely pub
lished as part Of the congressional
records.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1957-07-04

tive, he will still be out in front of
his press agent. Naturally. Mr.
Reuther is in favor Of the Hell's
Canyon project and long ago lined
up all the pro-labor senators in its
favor. Certainly, if the Eisenhower
veto is sustained las it is sure to
be), there will be no longer any
question about the issue next year.
The people will really have a choice
uncomplicated by comprimise or
confusion. 1t is the thing for which
so many political tub bumpers
have been calling for over the years.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1957-07-04

The record will have been made
in Congress, with one party almost
solidly lined up in favor Of Govern
ment ownership and operation along
true socialistic lines, and the other
party just as solidly asserting its
btlief in private enterprise and
economy.

ROBERT C.. TRULOCK
FUNERAL AT

Robert c. Trulock IA, OF
Bloomfield passed away last

lowing a heart attack. The de-
ceased had been in poor health

also been retired from that po-
sition. Besides his brother, judi
son Trulock of Sidney, he is

Soil Bank
Acreage Rules
Modified

Wheat farmers who exceed the
permitted acreage" for harvest
of Soil Bank base crops on their
farms will forfeit the entire pay
ment they would have received
for compliance with the Acreage
Reserve agreement, Arthur An
derson, chairman of the Richland
County ASC committee, said to-
day.
AS originally announced, such
a violation of the Acreage Re-
serve program would also have
subjected the farmer to a civil
penalty of 500 of the Acreage
Reserve payment. However, pro-
gram regulations have been mod
flied to remove the civil penalty
provisions for exceeding the
FARMS permitted acreage" by
harvesting too large an acreage
Of Soil Bank base crops other
than wheat.
Certain other types of violation
of the Acreage Reserve agreement
still subject the farmer to both
a civil penalty and loss of the
payment, and these include har-
vesting a crop or permitting live
stock to Craze on wheat land des-
ignated for the Acreage Reserve
or harvesting more wheat than
the farm acreage allotments less
the acreage in the Reserve.
Hence, il a wheat farmer exceeds
his permitted acreage" by over
harvesting wheat, he will still be
subject to loss of his payment
and the civil penalty.
Under the 1858 Acreage Re-
serve program, the Chairman ex-
planned, a farm "Soil Bank base"
is established for each participant
ing farm, based on the production
history and other information
furnished by the farmer. In gen.
eral, this base is the average
number of acres harvested in

Expert Addresses
Safflower Meet
Here This Week

A Safflower meeting was held
here this week which was at
tended by a representative group
of farmers and interested citi-
zens. This group meeting was
held to hear discussion on SAT-
flower crop possibilities from DIR.
Carl Claassen, Pacific Oilseeds,
Inc. of Woodland, California and
Ray Riggenbach of Clovis, New
Mexico. Alfred Rehbein of Lam
bert, a longtime advocate of
safflower, was also present.
The visiting group is holding
a series of conferences in Mon
tana, the Dakotas and Nebraska
to determine which state might
be best adapted to safflower. If
an area is thought feasible, then
there may be a determined eff
fort made to develop safflower
acreage and a processing plant.
There is considerable interest
IN this section, as farmers are
IN need of an additional crop
to help out on the limited wheat
allotment program. Experiments
at the Eastern Branch Station
are reported as favorable for
safflower. A decision as to the
best prospective area is not ex-
pected until next year.
The farmers and others present
at the meeting were guests of
the Sidney National Bank, Rich
land National Bank, Occident Ell
evator, Yellowstone Livestock
Commission Company, Yellow
stone Mere, and Sidney Land
& Livestock.

'30-Acre'Farm
Use Wheat
Plan Outlined

Under the recently enacted feed
wheat exemption legislation, farm
ers whose wheat acreage aIlot-
ment is less than 30 acres may
grow up to 80 acres of wheat for
use exclusively on the farm
where produced and still not be
liable for marketing quota pen-
alties, Leo S. Kolstad, State ASC
Administrative officer, said to-
day.
The new provision will apply to
1858 and future crops; it does not
apply to the 1857 and prior wheat
crops.
To be eligible to grow up to
the 80 acres of wheat without
penalty, producers must sign an
application - showing the in
tended disposition of the wheat
before the 1958-crop planting
time on the farm or October Is,
1857, whichever is later. The APP
pllcation must be approved by
the County ASC office. Accord
ing to Kolstad, these applications
will be available in County ASC
office soon.
If a producer signs up for the
feed-wheat exemption provision,
under the law the entire crop of
wheat must be used on the farm
where produced for seed, human
food, IT livestock and poultry
feed. Not more than 80 acres of
wheat may be grown on the
farm, and none of the wheat may
be sold, bartered, or exchanged,
nor will it be eligible for price
support.
The livestock or poultry fed
must be owned by the producer,
or subsequent owner or operator
of the farm. 1t may not be re-
moved to another farm for any
purpose.
Kolstad explained that the pro-
vision in effect under past pro-
grams permitting producers to
market wheat without penalty
where harvestings are Is acres or
less regardless of the size of
the wheat allotment will still be
available to producers on farms
which are not participating in
the feed wheat exemption pro-
However, any producer
who does participate in the feed
wheat exemption provision Of the
program will not be eligible to
market any of his wheat, and
The 15-acre provision will not
apply to the farm.

State Cattlemen
Discuss Brand
Theft Problems

Helena - Cattlemen of Mon
tana joined with those from four
other neighbor states in discus
sions of brand inspection prob
lens, stock law enforcement and
beef promotion at a recent one
day meeting held in Miles City.
The session of the five-state
conference drew attendance from
Wyoming, North and South Da-
kota, Nbraska and Montana. Of
ficials of the Montana Stock
association and the Mon
tana Livestock Commission rep
resented Montana cattlemen.
Agreement was reached at the
meeting that there was need for
a more comprehensive check ct
vehicles hauling livestock and
that national legislation was need
ed to make livestock theft grand
larceny regardless of the area
where it occurred Or the value
involved" thus including Indian
reservations where confusion ex-
lists regarding jurisdiction OF
state, federal and tribal authorl-
ties.
Edwin Karlen of Columbia, S.
D.. president of the National Beef
Council, spoke on national peer
promotion and the necessity for
its continuation and R. A. Burg
hart of Colorado Springs, Colo
RADIO. discussed future plans IN
light of the refusal Of Congress
TO consider proposed legislation
which would permit the collection
of funds for promotional purposes
nv market agencies at markets
under federal supervision.
One bill to that effect died IN
the u. S. House of Representa-
tives through failure to receive
consideration; and sentiment ex-
dressed at the Miles City meet
inc was to the effect that a SINH
lar measure be sought when Con-
oress reconvenes in January. In
practice. livestock producers are
contributing funds through col
lections made by market agen-
cies at their request. Montana
cattlemen are supporting the
Montana Beef Council in this
manner.
