Proposed Farm Program

CECRETARY of Agriculture Ezra Taft
~ Benson has revealed the outline Of d
new farm program. 1t will be the Elsen-
hover Administration farm proposals for
1860 = as they are presented to Congress.
In brief, the Benson Eisenhower program
consists Of five major points. First, an eN-
banded program of retirement OF land
from crop production for the next five to
ten years would be sought by increasing
the money allotted for this purpose.
Second a new program OF research aimed
at finding new markets and new uses for
farm products is to be undertaken. Third,
vigorous Seed Program would attempt to
see that more Of our surplusses were used
to help supplement the food supplies OF our
friends abroad.
Fourth, a program would be undertaken
to assist farms in the low income areas at
tain higher standard of living. This would
be known as an expanded rural develop
ment program.
Finally, a realistic price support pro

Getting Acquainted
Saint Paul was a new convert
once. The church of the ages owes
much to him, but we also owe a
great debt to some people without
whose help Paul would hardly have
become the great apostle and mis-
sionary that he was.
He was very eager to get back
To Jerusalem where he had built
> up his career as an anti Christian.
He risked his life, in fact, to get
back there He knew that the most
effective place to give good wit
ness is just where you have made
bad witness in times past. 1t is
much easier to go to a strange
place for a complete new start,
than to make the new start in the
old surroundings. But Paul seldom
took the easiest way, and 50 we
find him back in Jerusalem a
lonely man. For not a Christian
there would speak to him. He was
known AS a bloodthirsty and i'm
placahle enemy of all Christians.
When he began speaking for Christ
instead of against him. the Chris
tians were shocked and afraid. An
but one man, Rarnabas- He took
this new convert and introduced
him to the church leaders as q
fellow Christian. And when they
got acquainted with the man Paul,
things began to be different
That's the nrn thing a Chris
tim can - with new converts: lust
get acquainted. Do you have evan
gelistic services IA your church or
community? And If 50. what are
the new Christians to you? Mere
statistics, Just a list Of names or
are they really people? II all the
new converts mean to the older
Christians is statistics, then that's
all they'll ever be, statistics. And
IN the end, statistics Of missing
persons
New converts are often more
scared than they like to admit Can
I bold out? they ask themselves
over and over. They have not yet
discovered that It is not a question
of their holding On, but Of Gods.

10 rush against the roaring crown
OF those dread heights Of destiny
Far heard above the angry guns
A cry across the tumult runs,
The voice that rang through Shi
loh's woods
And Chickanauga's Solitudes -
The fierce South cheering on hel
sons.
All. how the whitening tempest blew
Against the front Of PettigreW,
A Khamsin wind that scorchec
and Singed
Like that Internal flame thai
fringed
The British squares at Waterloo.
A thousand fell where Kemper led
A thousand died where Garnet
bled:
In binding flame and strangline
smoke
The remnant through the batteries
broke
And crossed the works with Armi-
stead.

Virginia cried to Tennessee.

Shall stand upon these works To-

The reddest day in history,
Brave TENNESSEE In reckless way
Virginia heard her comrade say,
Close round this rent and riddled
rag. .
What time she set her battle flag
Amid the guns of Doubleday
But who shall break the guards
that wait
Before the awful face Of fate?
The tattered standards Of the South
We're shriveled at the cannon S
mouth
And all her hopes we're desolate.
In vain the Tennessean set
His breast against the bayonet.
In vain Virginia charged and ragged
A hgress in her wrath uncaged,
Til all the hill was red and wet.
Above the. bayonetS, mixed and
crossed.
Men saw gray gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry Of nation lost.
The brave went down, without dis
grace,
They leapt to RUNS red embrace:
They only heard Fame's thunders
And saw the dazzling sunburst
break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face.
They fell, who lifted up hand
And bade the sun in heaven to
stand:
They sn1ote and fell who set the

Against the progress Of the Stars
And stayed the march of Mother
land.

Many OF the ads were distortions
and open attacks on the federal power
program. IRIS said that the ads should
not have been listed as tax-deductible
business expenses because they were
political" in nature. The power in
dustry has been fighting that ruling
and it has 80 days to file written
protest or request a hearing on the
just announced revised regulation,
which is stricter than the 1856 ruling.
The new regulation declares, in
part: Expenditures for lobbying
purposes for the promotion or de-
feat of legislation, for political
campaign purposes (including the
support of or opposition to any
candidate for public office), or for
carrying on propaganda (including
advertising) related to any of the
foregoing purposes are not deduc-
tible from gross income.
''For example, the cost of advertis-
ing to promote or defeat legislation
or to influence the public with respect
to the desirability or undesirability Of
proposed legislation is not deductible
as a business expense, even though
the legislation may directly affect the
taxpayers business. On the other
hand, expenditures for institutional
or good will advertising which keeps
the taxpayers name before the public
are generally deductible as ordinary
and necessary business expenses pro-
vided the expenditures are related to
the patronage the taxpayer might
reasonably expect in the future :.

Legislator
Askssupport
For Free Tv

Support for legislation now pend
ing in Congress which would i'm
prove the competitive status of free
television stations with community
cable systems, has been asked by
Rep. L. P. Tonner of Flathead county.
Tonner, speaking over the XII radio
network last Friday night, told his
radio audience that Gin my county
a free TV station has had to go off
the air because Of a situation
that should never have happened.
'To explain bit," he continued,
'there is no free TV in my area be-
cause the cable TV people, by bring
ing unregulated out-of-state signals
into the area created situation that
made it impossible for free TV to
compete
To remedy this situation, to provide
ground rules whereby free TV can
compete with the cables, Tonner
urged his listeners to request the
congressional delegation place its sup
port behind S. 1901, which, afer long
hearings in Washington, d. c., has
been given approval by a Senate
Commerce subcommittee, by an eight
to-one vote. This bill, >he said, will
bar the cables from picking up "out-
of-state signals and repeating pro-
grams that have already been shown
or are being shown, and paid for, by
local free TV stations"
S. 1901, he continued. was similar

Consumer groups have long ar
gued that while the private power
industry obviously has the right to
its point of view, consumers should
not be made to pay for propa ganda
or political ads.
AS Cong. Leonard G. Wolf of Iowa
said recently in the House of Repre-
sentatives: 81 submit that the power
companies should not be denied the
right of freedom of expression. Let
them have their say :. But, so long
as they engage in a campaign which
nurtures doubts and fears in the
minds of the American people then l
want to see these millions spent from
their own funds, and not handled as
operating expenses which are de-
Quoted from income for income tax
purposes on the one hand and added
to their consumers electric bills on
the other"
THE ANSWER is: "NOTHING"
Wolf noted that one recent private
power ad asked the question, ''How
much is public power costing the
people of your state?" Wolf COM
mented: "The answer to this query
is quite simple: Nothing.
Federal funds invested in the de-
of our national hydro
electric resources are not costs
charged to the American taxpayer
=. They are our nations investments
in the full use of our natural re-
sources, which in every case are self
from the sale of whole
sale electric power"
Wolf added: "Such projects pro-
duce electricity at wholesale costs
which are less than half those the
power companies formerly demand
ed. They are also competitive i'm
fluence, a yardstick by which the
American people are able to meas
ure the fair costs of electricity,
even outside the areas of federal
power development.
"This competitive influence spreads
ike the ripples from a stone dropped

ates created by this competition"

ated it will not permit power COM

1t was also suggested to those in
attendance that they keep an eye on
