Soil Bank
Regulations Eased

With the deadIine nearing the
farmers who are interested in the
1860 Conservation Reserve, Chair
man r. Harry Wilson of the Kent
ASC County Committee at Dover
today announced two changes in
Soil Bank regulations that should
make more farmers eligible to part
icipate.
One change affects situations
where a tenant leaves the farm vol
UNFAIRLY and the owner takes over
the operation The other covers
situations where land has been lost
for public use under eminent do
main procedures.
Under the program as originally
announced for 1860, farm which
was operated wholly or partially by
a tenant or sf1arecropper in 1858 or
1859 could not be placed in the
Conservation Reserve next year un-
less a tenant or sharecropper was
designated to share in the annual
payment. The purpose of this pro-
vision was to protect tenants
against being forced off Soil Bank
Farms.
The new provision permits a con-
tract with a land owner where a
tenant leaves the farm voluntarily
and the owner finds Unnecessary to
take over the operation. In such a
case, a Conservation Reserve con-
tract for non-tenant operation may
be entered into for 1860 provided
it can be established definitely that
the tenant left the farm of his own
accord. This may be proved either
through statements signed by three
disinterested persons who know the
situation.
The other newly announced
change provides an exception to the
general rule that land purchased
since December 81, 1856 is not eli
gible for the Conservation Reserve,
subject to certain limitations.
Any farmer who was ineligible
under former rules but is now
eligible for 1860 contract still
has until September 80 to request
his county ASC office to set a basic
/ annual rate for his farm.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. up =
The Methodist Church is planning
a I0-year development program for
its Western Methodist Assembly
grounds on Mt. Sequoyah.
The assembly is the summer
conference and training center for
the church's eight-state South Cen
trail Jurisdiction Other regional
and interdenomination meetings
also are held there.
The Rev. E. G. Kaetzell, superin-
tendent, says long range plans in
clude replacement of current frame
buildings by structures of brick or
stone and at least 80 new housing
units, including dormitories and a
cafeteria.

"The idea behind the square look
is tanned wildness. The hairdo is
fiat at the ears, combed high in the
manner of the old pompadour, but
cut on simple lines into wave
wing. Variations could include
pulling down a lock of hair from
this controlled hair If more care
free hairstyle is desired"
One important impression given
by the square look is height, Miss
Mace explains, and this helps slen-
derize and ovalize the face. The
dair can show a slight indentation
of part and fall away high from
either side of it. Or the hair can
fall over the forehead in bangs
that originate well back on the
head with a pompadour-type sweep

Younq Man Going West

If travel is broadening, even when
confined to the United States, New
York's Governor Rockefeller will soon
be able to qualify as well-rounded in
dividual. Late last month, he slipped
away from his desk in Albany to attend
a Dartmouth College reunion in Han
over, New Hampshire, where, inciden-
tally, there will be presidential primary
next March. New Jersey and Illinois
appear on his itinerary this month. But
in November, Mr.. Rockefeller has even
more interesting travel plans. On No
vember IL he will speak in Los Angeles,
on November IS in San Francisco and
on November IA in Salem, Oregon. Back
East, he will address a regional forum
the New England Society of Newspaper
Editors-at Providence, Rhode Island,
on November 20.
In announcing his schedule, Mr..
Rockefeller emphasized as he has in the
past that he is mot candidate" for
the Republican presidential nomination.
He hedged this, however, by telling
newspaper questioner that he did not
see how his widespread visiting at this
time "can help but give me broader
understanding of the political situation
in the country"
Mr.. Rockefeller has not, of course,
been living with his head in the political
sands oblivious to the speculation since
last November concerning his avail
ability as a Republican presidential
prospect. And the time is approaching
when he must finally make up his mind.
Certainly one of the best ways for him
to reach conclusion, if he has not done
so already, is to sample at first hand the
mood around the country-at the same
time letting the country itself have a
look at one of the few Republicans who
won big" last November. Mr.. Rookie
feller's trip should be a two-way edu-
cational one.

Transportation Apathy

What has happened to the big 20
year scheme for $2.4 billion system
Of freeways and subways that was pro-
posed by regional planners as a panacea
for the Washington areas nightmarish
transportation dilemma? More than
three months have passed since the
plan was publicized, and virtually moth
ing has been heard about it since.
To answer the question, most peo-
pie seem to be waiting until November
8, when the House-Senate Committee
on Washington Metropolitan Problems
will open week-long hearings on the
report. At that time, presumably, Fed
eral agencies as well as civic groups and
local governmental officials will be pre-
pared to take the witness chair and
throw light on such questions as these:
Does the Washington area want and
need an extensive rapid transit system,
including Subways? Are suburban gov
ernments willing to contribute f1nan-
cially to expensive facilities within the
District of Columbia which are needed
mainly to serve committing suburban.
ties? To what extent will the Federal
government help with the cost of NOV
ing people in the region where the
Federal establishment has such high
stakes? Is the report pie-in- the-sky
document, with goals too high to be
met? What are the positive first steps
that should be taken to develop a
regional transportation system? What
kind of political organization should
be formed to take the steps?
These questions are as complex as
they are distasteful to face, and that, of
course, is the reason we have heard so
little about them. The disturbing thing
at this point, however, is that so little
effort apparently has been made to try.
One gratifying exception is the recent
decision by Montgomery and Prince
Georges County officials to prepare
statement which will reflect united
stand" on the report. This should be
matched by other local jurisdictions in
the few remaining weeks before the
hearings begin.
The worst thing that could happen
Is that witnesses might waste their en-
ergies in haggling over specific freeway
or transit proposals. There are some
that we don't like. But these are details
which can only be settled after the
region determines the basic systems it
wants to develop. The immediate re-
quirement, therefore, is agreement on
the goals which regional transporta-
ton program should satisfy; on financ-
ing, and the formation of some kind Of
new regional organization without
which the three years and $50O,O00
spent on the area transit survey will
have been wasted.

Taxpayers Lament

manding that air condition
ing, costing $270,000, be in

juxtaposition!
We have barely begun to
feel the terrific impact OF
the county's exploding popu-
lation, yet the County Man
ayers 1858 annual report
shows that education took
Sic out of every dollar Of
county expenditure. Actual
tax bills show an even more
alarming situation. For ex-

back-breaking county tax bill.

ing county taxes for 10 years,
yet have never had (and
never will have) any direct
return from them in the edu-
cation of any child of mine.

comment is an understate-
ment.
That comment is this;
These PTA's should learn the
economic facts of life. These
facts are: % The tax situa-
ton on residential property

necessity, demands for any,

'One of the Quiet Heroes

President Eisenhower chose fe-
licitouS description when he referred to
John Hanson, President of the United
States in Congress Assembled" as zone
of the quiet heroes of our Republic"
For this native Of nearby Port Tobacco
contributed much in terms of physical
courage and intellectual foresight to
the struggle for American independ-
ence.
AS member of the Maryland Gen
eral Assembly for more than twenty
years, from 1757 to 1779, this American
Of Swedish descent was an early and
determined leader in the fight against
British rule of the colonies. And when
this long struggle reached its climax IN
the War of independence, John Hanson
was one of those who played major
role in raising and equipping troops for
the Continental Army commanded by
General Washington. 1t was while the
Articles of Confederation were await
ing ratification by the postwar legisla-
lures that this Maryland delegate rem
dered one of his greatest services
that of heading the group that per-
suaded the various States to cede to the
central government their controversial
claims to the vast Western territories.
1t was in recognition of this act of APP
piled craftsmanship that the Continent
tai Congress, after a ratification of
the articles, unanimously elected Dele
gate Hanson as President of the United
States in Congress Assembled, 1881
1882, the first presiding officer of the
new Confederation legislative body.
The vasa order of America, an or
sanitation of Americans of Swedish an

place as one more step in assuring that
his place in American history shall not
be forgotten. 1t was on the occasion

well dressed and in possess
sion of much money, are will
ing to eat second rate food
on demand.
There are not degrees and
degrees of good food. There
are only two degrees:
Good food-and all the
rest, which we call second
class.
The lure of feeding stray
animals is a great one, and
some people are particularly
susceptible to it.
They get a great kick, as
we say today, out of placing
q bowl before some hungry
animal and watching it eat.
After one has done this two
or three times, there is no
use protesting that the ami
maj returns.
OF course. he comes back.
How could one expect him
not to? 1t is not necessary
at all to have felt real hunger
pangs to understand this.
There is another angle to
it. too. The giving of food
has, in all nations, been ac-
cepted as a sign of love and
affection.
The breaking of bread to-
gether has universally been
regarded as a rite, not just
a stoking of the human en-
CINE as it is sometimes called.
Food is fuel, but it is more
than that, it is an extended
hand that means, or should
mean. II like you, I hope you
like me-"
The giver of food to what
one thinks is a stray animal
takes a step in the direction
Of another living thing.
The animal may not be a
stray at all, but a friend Of
somebody else. Unless the
creature is plainly suffering
from lack of food, it should
not be fed unless the feeder
is willing to assume the care
Of it.
So never be in a hurry to
rush in when you feel the lure
of a kitten or puppy.
Once you do, you are IN
for it, as our correspondent
has found out. This Is
another of those things 1t is
easier to get into than out OF.

This may take a few days,

Inside Irdu

I find 1t necessary to cor
rect your editorial comment
dated October 8 concerning
the wicked attempt to assas-
sinate the leader Of the Iraqi
people, Premier Abdul-Karim
KaSSim.
One of the common mis-
interpretations which domi-
nate most of the American
press is to consider the Iraqi
revolution of July IA a mere
coup.
In Iraq, the army, hand
in hand with the people,
revolted against the cor
rupted regime which had i'm
posed terror and depression
on the people for about 40
years.
The revolution of July IA.
being the revolution of the
army and the people under
the leadership of Premier
Abdul-Karim Kassim, has
changed the course of 1raqi
destination and mpe d
down the policy of depend
ence and servitude to i'm
perialisrn and reactionarism
1t has also launched funda-
mental changes on the core
of the Iraqi society by is
suing and implementing a
land reform law which is on
its way to abolish feudalism,
the principal prop of i'm
perialiSm in the defunct
regime in Iraq.
The American press de-
scribes the Iraqi revolution
as bloody. If we study the
genuine revolutions in his
tory, we shall find that the
Iraqi revolution, being one Of
them, is the least bloody.
Thus it is very natural that
some reactionary elements
try to undermine every rev.
olution which destroyed their
greedy interests and it is the
full right of the revolution,
therefore, to protect the
interests of the people, and
to apply lawful punishment
strictly on the enemies Of the
people.
The Central Treaty Organ
ization need not be worried
about the situation in 1raq
because Iraq is neutral,
