Report From Washington
Serious Threat
Seen TO Future
Farm Legislation
BY EDWARD II. SIMS and
JAMESON CAIN

washington. D. C. - Recent fail
Ute Of the House Of Representa-
tiyes to override the President s
veto Of the Rural Identification Ad-
ministration Reorganization bill was
seen by some congressman as a
serious threat to future farm legls-
lation in this Congress.
Some of the congressman, par
ticnlarly from the South, fear that
if the House was unable to override
the REA veto. it doesn't stand much
of a chance Of overriding a posi-
Bile veto of Democratic sponsored
farm legislation.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Benson is opposed to most Of the
Democratic agricultural proposals.
The White House usually backs the
position Of the Agriculture Score
tary, 50 indications are that if a
farm bill is passed by Congress
which fails to meet Benson's APP
prevail, it will be vetoed. If it is
vetoed some Congressman think the
veto will stick.
The Federal Civil Rights Com
mission in Washington has received
letter from an attorney identity
ing himself as the legal representa-
tive of the Indians of North Da-
kota. complaining that the Indians
civil rights are being denied them
The letter said a systematic ex-
clusion Of In1.ans from the jury
lists Of North Dakota was being
carried out all over the state.
The attorney asked that the Com
mission investigate the charges. bu,
the letter was turned over to the
State Civil Rights Advisory Com
mittee Of North Dakota, with the
comment BY the federal commits
/ sion that the matter was outside
its jurisdiction.
/ Legislation to accelerate the re
forestation programs of the U. S
Department of Agriculture and De
partment of Interior has been intro
/ duced in the House.
The bill is designed to accom-
plssh the planting Of 40 million id,
and nonproductive acres BY accel
Grating the existing reforestatiol
! programs Of the federal govern
| ment. It would authorize approprla
ton of the necessary funds for tre
planting programs and other need

Uncontrolled Initiation

CTUDENTS Of economics are always CON
= cerned with the problem caused BY
rapid initiation. The reader may sometimes
wonder what to believe. and how to analyze
the present trend in our country. because
of the conflicting statements concerning
the strength of the L. S. economy. and the
danger to our economy from initiation
1t is true that we have enjoyed q steady
period of initiation since the Revolutionary
War, in the eighteenth century, and that
there is no reason to think that this trend
will be reversed. Initiation during most Of
these years has developed at slow pace,
or as a result Of a series Of ups and downs,
with the general trend always upwards.
The inflationary cycle which followed
World War II was very rapid period of
initiation, and was checked only briefly in
19i8-49, and another similar check was
halted by the outbreak of the Korean Con-
flict. Another severe wave Of initiation took
place during and after the Korean Conflict,
and this was only checked in 1858 by what
has been known as the 1853 recession.
Many economic experts believe this was
good thing for the economy. although the
country is an expanding one. with a popu-
lation increase Of more than two million
each year. and, obviously. the economy
must also expand if the living standard is
to continue to rise
There are many indications that the Al
ministration is seriously concerned with
the threat Of continuing initiation In fact,
President Eisenhower's warning to both the
Il l.,l.
rise in the price of steel could not be toler-
ated, is an indication Of the seriousness
with which the Administration views the in
flationary threat
One need only look back a few decades,
or less, and study the difficulties caused in
France by runaway initiation Initiation was
also so extreme in Germany that the cur
rency had to be repudiated after World
War II, as money became almost valueless
And while the United States dollar is not
becoming almost valueless. it is true that
for the first time in decades gold has begun
to flow out of the United States and our
trade balance is now lost for the first time
in many years. In other words. we are buy
ing more abroad than we are selling, and
this is the first time this has happened in
many years. Many believe this is because
the price of our products is 50 high that
foreign nations cannot buy many of them
The effect on national defense is serious
since the cost Of national defense accounts
for more than fifty per cent Of the total ma
tlonal budget of more than seventy billion
dollars, and as initiation Increases the cost
Of defense hardware increases The govern
ment is again having trouble selling its
bonds, because people realize that even
three dollars invested today may be worth

Letters To Editor
Speeding TO
CT aveyards

Even faster some folks will speed
Upon our roads these days
Though many in their graves now
lie
Who died on our highways
On. Oh they drive At reckless speeds
A little time ID SAVE.
Unmindful that their heedlcssness
May put them in grave.
To save some time they hurry on
without good reasons Why;
But just to quickly yet somewhere
They rush and speed and die
At the trips end. no glory waits
For time that speeding saves:
And millions now through reckless
Are moulding in their graves.
They rush along defying fate,
Risk Of death, not needing.
Unmindful Of the dead and manned
Caused by drivers speeding.
But faster, faster. faster still
Some drivers want to speed
And there are states, 50 l have
read.
These drivers pleas, now heed.
Note:
Recently four states have raised
legal speed limits California now
permits S. miles per hour. Georgia
permits s. miles per hour in day
time and 55 miles per hour at night.
In Wyoming, on four lane high
ways, 20 miles per hour is legal
limit and Montana has wiped out
all speed limits for day time driv-

What good does it do
Some time to save,
If we spend time gained,

Editorial

RUSSIAN VISITS : AND BUYS
SOME AMERICAN newspapers have been loud in
their criticism Of the State Department fol. allowing
Anatas 4 Mikoyan, Soviet Deputy Premier, to visit the
United StatesstIt was felt that as the second highest
Soviet dictator, we should not extend a hand of vel
come to him This view is unfortunate.
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS are not personal re-
lations. The two are very different. AL that diplomatic
recognition says is that there is recognition of a nation
as such. It does not mean that we agree with anything
they do. Nor does it mean that we agree with their
form Of government. So that even though Russia is
pure athiestic, that does not mean that we accept or
even recognize their lack Of religious belief.
BUT THIS TYPE Of visit goes further. The Soviet
Union. is in a great struggle with the United States for
economic and military supremacy. 1t is their honest be-
lief that capitalism will collapse Of its own dead weight;
that depression and waste will be the inevitable results
Of that system, and that all they tthe Russians) need do
is sit and wait and Communism will win out. It is for
this reason that they have set 1865 as the date when
they will catch up to us economically.
AVIST SUCH as the one Mikoyan is now making
has tremendous value to both sides. II gives him 4 first
hand view of what is taking place in this capitalistic
society. Such a visit has already impaired the idea that
there is nothing about the American economy which is
c~ollapsing Of its own weight. For example, Mikoyan
took off from the Russian Embassy one morning last
week and headed straight for a supernarket in Mary
land. He took 4 pushcart and wheeled about the market,
buying. this and that, asking questions, and surveying
everything. He took up a steak and asked the manager
how many people would eat il, and the answer was,
One.
CERTAINLY, SUCH firsthand information must
leave an impression. Certainly, he must wonder why
this decadent, clumsy, so-called Ineffective capitalism is

Have you ever stopped to

The District Of Columbia
Committee for the 1860 White
House Conference on Children
and Youth has asked the Dis
trict Commissioners TO include
funds for q new post of CO.
ordinator Of social services In
the Districts 1851 budget.
Mrs. Henry 0rattan Doyle,
chairman Of the District COM
mittee, has outlined the need
for such q city post In q letter
TO Robert, Z. Mclaughlin, pres
ident Of the Board Of Com
missioners.
Mrs. Doyle added that COM
mittee representatives would
appear at next Tuesdays bud
get hearings in the District
building TO press their case.
She noted that the co-ordi-
nator would save money by
preventing and eliminating
some Of the present costly
overlapping Of agencies serv-
Ices.
Also. Mrs. Doyle declared.
the new service would prove
of inestimable value to chill
dren and youth who could re-
ceive the concentrated help of
one caseworker rather than
'piecemeal" services now rem
dered by a variety Of agencies.
The co-ordinator would also
help public and private agen-
cies plan long-ranse social
programs for the community.
The program would be very
beneficial In coping with the
small proportion OF families
with many chronic troubles
who require most Of the social
services. Mrs. Doyle noted.
The post was recommended
In a report on Family Ir-
