Let's announced. following a

ing the average Of 300 Jurors

The present system provides
an individual pool of jurors for

adding efficiency to the jury
assignment procedure in the
court, Judge Let's said, the new

A specialist on the problem
Of. West Berlin could be

when the conference with the

could come to the meeting.

which these agreements are
supposed to be obtained.
Nov, everybody knows
that when you are dealing In
a dictatorship. there is only
one man. finally. that can
make the decision - a firm
decision, a final decision.
Therefore, there has grown
up what I believe to be a
false doctrine that we should
revamp our entire diplomatic
procedures In order to 80 TO
o summit meeting every 80
days or so,
'Now, from my viewpoint,
the dictator can give his for
eign minister just as much
fiexibility in dealing with
these troublesome and tough
questions as can a democ-
racy. Therefore. I think to
assume that foreign. minis
ters have now become use
less, that they are no good
and to throw them away and
make every single head OF
government or head Of state
spend his time in work that
has been the function of spe-
cialists in this line, I think
is a step backward in diplo-
macy. This is like Alexander
and Napolean meeting on a
raft in a river and settling
the fate of the then world.
"You can't do that. And.
to my mind, if these foreign
ministers meetings cannot
prepare the ground and at
least SOW some of the seed
for accord, then ! see no use
whatsoever for trying to have
a harvest when there is no
planting and no tilling."
This is sound doctrine. 1t
is an effective approach to
the problem Of negotiation.

RALPH McGILL
Coping With the Nations Debt

If money talks. then the
story 1t tells Of the political
manipulating Of the farm
problem. rather than the fac
ing of it. is one which will
arouse national anger.
In the six years of the
present administration. the
Department of Agriculture
has spent more than the
combined totals Of all past
administrations since the
department was established
81 years ago.
From 1852 through the
Truman administration, the
total spending was $27.6 bill
lion. The June 80 reckoning
is expected to show a six
year total Of about $31 billion.
The expenditures for 1859 are
estimated at $50 billion. In
1851 total spending on agri-
culture was $3.50 million, a
tenth as much. Losses on the
farm support operations alone
were more than a billion dol
lars. This was more than
half the total for the 20 years
of F. D. r. and Truman.
Yet, in fairness 1t must be
said that it was legislation
adopted in earlier years which
made inevitable the great
costs of today. The farmer,
paid not to plant one crop,
went heavily into another.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton Is reaping a harvest not
entirely Of its own planting
But 1t must bear a substantial
share Of the blame.
Meanwhile, the small farm
er is being wrung out, and
the big farmers. and all the
taxpayers. are bewitched, be-
deviled and bewildered. We
can use some of the Nations
best brains in Washington,

much alike, being both rath-
er more liberal and younger
than Washington spokesmen
for the party. Both are Cath
olic but. as their names sug-
gest, are of different racial
strains.
Rather wryly, the Kennedy
aides say that Catholic Gov
ernors are a bit of a prob
lem to them since there can
be only one Catholic on the
ticket. They admit this could
help with other Governors.

Record Peace Deficit, Bond Rate Issue
And Farm Costs Pose Big Problems

to $28S billion and to remove
the interest rate ceiling on
bonds. In order to prevent a
further flight from savings
bonds their rate would be
upped from 3.26 per cent
to 334.
The difficulty seems to be
a simple one. Private and
local bonds pay more than
those of the Government.
Also, the stock market gam
bling fever is high, and much
money which once went into
bonds of both categories now
is being gambled on the more
volatile stocks.
The House may vote the
presidential package rather
quickly. But the Senate will
really give it a thorough ven-
tilating. 1t will demand real
assurance that the move will
not be inflationary.
William M. Martin, head
of the Federal Reserve Bank.
has testified brilliantly in
favor Of abandoning an in
terest ceiling. He believes 1t
will increase savings. But
some of the Congress argue
that any boost in that field
will be more than wiped out
by the greater costs pro-
duced by the expanded. rates.
Every / per cent rise on a
national debt Of $3.50 billion
means the taxpayers will be
called upon for an additional
$2.8 billion.
Nor is this all the trouble.
The farm costs are certain
to become something Of a
scandal, though here both
parties are to blame. Neither
is anxious to have the peo-
pie know the whole story.
