When the 85th Congress closes

usual references to their historic
accomplishments.
There will be no arguing that
e this has been q history making

49th State and. in its first ses-
sion, having passed the first civil
rights bill this century.
One bit Of history making, how
ever, is likely to be overlooked by
the homeward-bound lawmakers.
although none Of them can be
unaware of It: The farm bloc.
once more powerful than all the
combined other interests in Con-
gress, is practically dead.
No longer can political parties
be terrorized. punished and
whipped into submission by the
once omnipotent juggernaut
piloted by Translate Congress-
men who not only could write
farm legislation in any form they
wished, but who also could use
their force, or the threat Of it. to
determine policy in many fields
not cultivated by the farmer.

THE FIRST YEAR
ny LILLIAN LEVY
Special Writer for The star

The International climate has
little or no effect on one aspect
Of human endeavor: Science. At
any rate. the present international
crisis Is not interfering with plans
for the delegation OF 81 American
scientists, under the sponsorship
Of the National Academy Of Sci
ences. to attend a meeting for the
Special Committee for the Inter-
national Geophysical Year In
Moscow from July 30 TO August 10.
The 10y Is q scientific program
Of research and exploration Of
the earth and Its environment In
which 81 nations are Joined. Our
scientists we're voted Sal million
by Congress for the work, which
actually will extend over a period
Of 10 months.
Recently IL top scientists APP
peared before a House Subcom-
mittee on Appropriations and re-
ported on what has been done In
the FIRST IL months Of the ICY.
The report was given behind
closed doors, but was later pub
lished by the National Science
Foundation In q l9l-page ofiicial
document. The Importance Of the
material given out was obscured
both by the nature Of the closed
session on the one hand and by
the fact that the scientists spoke
In q language sometimes hard for
laymen to understand.
Some highlights Of the reports,
greatly reduced and often much
paraphrased, follow:

The Reel PuyoH

The practical BENEFITS from the
ICY, as noted are overwhelming
in quantity and quality. However.
in the words Of DR.. TIVE, "the real
payoff is in the romance Of ideas
:. the kind of q thing that many
people in the United States would
be glad simply to know about, to
know that they share in these ex-
plorations Just for the Joy Of
learning things.R h
Among such data are, Of course.
the 10 tons Of data from the Arc
tic and the Antarctic, and tapped
information from our satellites. It
includes such interesting discover.
les as:
The Ice free valleys in the
Antarctic, one Of which contains .
beautiful fresh water lake with
abundant plant life.
A new $500 foot island in the
frozen continent.
A current under the Gulf
Stream that carries as much wa
ter as the Gulf Stream.
A river inside the ocean along
the equator from Asia to Panama.
New mountain ranges in the
ocean.
All this. and much more that
make up "the real payoff" are
part Of "the knowledge reservoir"
what DR.. Kaplan calls the great
combine Of practical and theo-
retical accumulation date in all
the ICY disciplines. The question
now is how to capitalize on it -.
how to make 1t pay on"

Antarctic

Besides the weather aspects,
ICY is also engaged in a complete
study of the Antarctic continent.
DR.. Laurence NJ. Gould, Director
of the USNC-IGY Antarctic Pro-
gram and chairman of the Com
mittee on Polar Research for the
National Academy Of Sciences, re-
ported that lover 10 tons of scien-
tific data was transported from
the Antarctic by ship in March of
this year" When this data is eval-
uated, a complete report on Ant
arctic in each of the ICY disci-
plineS will be available.
There are still many important
unsolved problems in Antarctica-
not only internal ones but also
those relating to the remainder Of
the planet. A special committee
for Antarctic research, SCAR, has
been established by the Interna-
tional Council Of Scientific Unions.

Of 100 million to 100 billion

The search for both the source
and the mechanism which triggers
this vast energy is one Of the
major problems in physics today.
While the search has not yet
solved these problems, 1t has been
instrumental in identifying other
radiation. not of cosmic origin,
such as X-rays at the top Of the
atmosphere in the auroral zone.
Cosmic ray experiments also have
been used to measure the earth's
magnetic field. and these ICY dis
coveries differ significantly from
theories heretofore accepted.
Cosmic ray studies are Of major
importance for our understanding
Of interplanetary space and may
ultimately explain major magnetic

VANISHED POWER
Once There Was q Farm Bloc

With the demise Of this bloc
departs a political institution as
old as the Republic-farm dis
content and its resultant political
effects. 1t helped give life to the
Revolution. 1t plagued the ad-
ministration Of George Washing
ton. 1t spawned third parties. And
1t decided presidential elections.
What has happened to reduce
the farm bloc to the mean spec
tacle of having to 60 to the White
House with hat in hand, as it did
earlier this year, to beg Presi-
dent not to veto a farm bill?
Two developments have taken
the political shotgun from the
hands Of the farmer:
. The changing face of the Ma
ton. which. no longer rural, is
urban and suburban.
. A civil war within the congress
sional farm bloc that split its his
toric solidarity down the middle.
Significant Shift
The first development is more
gradual, but its effects are more
far-reaching. For instance. 40
years ago almost one-third Of the
population in the North Central
Farm-Belt States lived on farms;
today only about is per cent do.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-07-20

measure, and action In the Senate
appears to be equally dim in pros
pect.
One reason for the spectacular
past successes of the coalition has
been the fact that its interests
we're sufficient to erase party lines.
1t always has been a bipartisan
and at times, a tripartisan-coali-
ton. But within this combine
were constituent interests that
definitely bore political labels.
Cotton and tobacco. for instance,
have been Democratic" crops.
while corn and wheat have been
Republican" crops.
So when the crop interests be-
gan feuding among themselves,
it was inevitable that the pre-
viously subsidiary political con-
siderations would become pre-
dominant.
To all of this, there are other
contributing factors.
Cotton, for instances, is a de-
throned king, losing more and
more Of its markets to synthetics
and foreign-grown fibre (only 124
million cotton acres are under
cultivation this year, the fewest
since the l880s). Grains also are
hard hit by market losses.
All this tends to drive the small
operator out Of farming. leaving
the industry to the big farmers
who are able to cultivate their
land without high Government
subsidies. and who therefore free
Congress from some Of the pres
sure from small farmers.
Further, this years bright farm
picture in the Midwest. where
prices and incomes are on the up
swing after a serious agriculture
depression, has removed much OF
the discomfort that in election
years accounts for so much noise
from that area.
Many urban Congressman view
the fatal schism in the bloc as q
blessing to the consumer. who. 1t
is reasoned. will benefit from
lower food prices and lower taxes
as q result of less catering to
farm interests.
Agriculture Secretary Benson
probably has another view. With
some justification, he can claim
victory in the long struggle In
which he pas been q major con-
tender. i
