But on an occasion he would
normally never have missed
there was no mention of 64-
year-old Mr.. Mikoyan. the So
Wet trade expert who paved the
way for Mr.. Khrushchev's visit
in the United States last year
Some Westerners took Mr..
Mikoyan's omission as another
indication he has fallen from
grace. Such reports have cir
culated widely in Britain since
his name was dropped from
official accounts of the history
of Azerbaijan, the Soviet Re-
public in which Mr.. Mikoyan
formerly led the Communist
movement.
There has been Western
speculation that Mr.. Mikoyan
fell into disfavor by advocating
a better relationship with the
United States at a time when
the Kremlin mood is set
against it.

Senator Kennedy Against Pack

the very outset, that Is the
way he has played 1t.
Now he says openly that
his main adversary" Is
Senator Lyndon B. johnson
Of Texas. Senator johnson,
the Senate Democratic leader,
Is operating in exactly the
reverse way. He is trying to
let the nomination come to
him, making no public ap-
peals for support.
Actually. however, young
Kennedy has at least a sec
ond formidable adversary"
This is Senator Stuart Sy-
mington Of Missouri, who is
following the johnson tech
nique. Senator Kennedy's
third opponent, Senator
Humphrey, is quite as much
in the open as is the MaSsa-
chusetts Senator. But the
Minnesotan started q bit
later. And his campaign has
been handicapped by what
is, relative to Senator Ken
nedy'S, a marked shortage Of
money.
So the heart of the mat
ter comes down to this:
There must be a successful

Senator Humphrey is hoping

Kennedy is going to be

Purchase Blocked
To Extend Park
At Gettysburg
By the Associated Press

Failure of local authorities to
enact zoning restrictions means
no money will be available in
the year ending June 80 to
acquire additional land for the
Gettysburg (Pa.) Battlefield
Park.
Conrad L. Wirth, director of
the National Park Service, re-
minded that Congress appropri>
ated $450,000 for such pur-
chases at Gettysburg and else
where during this fiscal year.
But Congress stipulated that,
before the money could be used,
the zoning regulations must be
made effective.
Mr.. Wirth, testifying before
a House Appropriations sub
committee at a recent hearing,
said Gettysburg authorities
failed to meet the condition
despite urgings from the service
He said the money went for
the purchase of lands at Ma
nassas (Bull Rum Battlefield
In Virginia, where adequate
zoning laws were enacted.

Action on Farm Surplus Needed

insists that "the important
think for farmers. and for
all other Americans. is for us
to act sensibly and to act
swiftly"
This means that Congress
will be on the spot. 1t can
not dodge the issue. 1t will
have to offer a legislative
plan to remedy the present
situation. This will tempt
some influential members of
Congress to write the kind
of. bill that will bring a presi-
Dental veto. But 1t is un-
likely that such a measure
would command a two
thirds vote to override q
veto. For Congress is very
much divided on the farm
question.
The Republicans will make
good use of the Presidents
latest message to Congress.
They will point out that he
has placed directly upon
Congress the major RESPONSE
bility for originating farm
legislation. If no suitable leg
islation is offered, the Dem
ocrats-Since they are in
control Of both houses of
CongresS-will have to accept
the blame. At least, that's
the theory. Conversely. If
the Democrats come up with
a measure that the President
can sign, II helps the Repub-
licans to take the issue to q
large extent out of the 1860
presidential campaign.
Apart from politics, the
next administration, ire
spective Of whether it is
Democratic or Republican,
will have to come to grips
with the same agricultural
problem. Hence, a start
might as well be made now
as a year hence to close the
gap" between the low net
income Of many farmers and
the excessive production Of
certain farm products which,
the President says pointedly,
has been largely due to
economic distortions induced
by years of Federal inter-
ference"

Danger to Nation of Costly Problem
Called Spur to Solution by Congress

has refused to go in for higher
and higher subsidies. So the
President has put the dilemma
squarely before Congress. He
has, in effect, challenged the
politicians in both parties.
He says:
Whatever the legislative
approach, whether toward
greater freedom or more regi-
mentation, it must be sensible
and economically sound and
not a political poultice. And
it must be enacted promptly.
I will approve any construc-
tive solution that the Con-
gress wishes to develop. :"
The President then dis
cusses several basic princi-
Piles and various alternative
plans, and promises to ap-
prove any one of them or "a
combination of constructive
proposals" He doesn't aban-
don the idea Of farm subsi-
dies and. indeed, urges expan-
sion of the present conserva-
ton reserve program up to
so million acres The Secre-
tary of Agriculture would be
authorized to make payments
in kind for reduction of acre
age devoted to crops in sur
plus and for retirement Of
such acreage from cultiva-
ton. The main condition i'm
posed is that measures must
be provided to keep total pro-
duction below total con-
sumption while this program
is in operation. He says that,
lacking such safeguards" a
payment-in-kind procedure
would overload the free
market and thereby depress
prices"
Mr.. Eisenhower has not
heretofore offered such a
f1exibility of approach. He
declares that. If Congress
wishes to propose a plan Of
its own as an alternative, he
will approve it 80 long as

That He Must Win Early or Lose

Senator Kennedy of Mas

Of his supporters here with
his statement that If he
does not have the Demo-
cratic presidential nomina-
ton nailed down before the
national convention starts,

Reporters making his
Western swing with him this

that IF I don't go to Los
Angeles in a position to win
by the time I arrive there, I
won't get the nomination"
The young Senator has
always been fatalistic about
his chances should a dead
lock develop. He has said
he must win on an early
ballot. Sometimes Kennedy
hackers have specified that
he must show heavy
strength on the first ballot,
do better on the second and
get home on the third.
The Senator also has
keyed his fate to the Wis
consin primary. On this

that if he can't win that
contest he may quit the

Fastener Now Viewed as Democrat
Not Likely to Be Beaten in July

1t is now Jack against the
pack. This is an inelegant
but exact way to describe the
race for the Democratic pres
idential nomination some five
months ahead Of the show
down national convention.
Senator John F. Kennedy
Of Massachusetts, is moving
very fast in the largest field
of truly major aspirants-
four-that has been seen in
decades. The consensus of
most detached political OBJ
servers here a year ago was
that he would make a spec
tacular run-but would come
in second. Now a consensus
just about as large puts him
down not only as the man to
beat-but the man who is not
now too likely to be beaten
at all.
Some veteran watchers of
the scene believe, actually,
that it is already too late to
head him off. Others, while
less certain. will accept the
same notion without hedg-
ing If Senator Kennedy wins
the Wisconsin presidential
preference primary of April S.
His only challenger there for
the nomination is Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota.
Senator Kennedy, at any
rate. has a confidence just
short Of absolute conviction
that he will win a popular
majority in Wisconsin and
something more than half
the delegate strength.
This is the meaning of the
bold comments he has been
issuing to the effect that a
defeat in Wisconsin might
finish him of altogether. No
politician would make such a
rather desperate and obvious
ly dangerous concession un-
less he felt q total assurance

nature are designed to spur
the Kennedy ranks to bigger
and better efforts. The Sena-
tor does his political navigat-
ing amid a veritable sea Of
polls taken for him by a pro-
fessional outfit in which he
places great faith. 1t is a
fair guess that he has its as
surance that he will win in
Wisconsin by a comfortable
margin. Observers on the
scene think 1t quite possible
he will.
Perhaps he has further as
suranceS that he has pockets
of strength here, there and
everywhere which will add up
to a majority of the dele
gates before the gavel falls at
Los Angeles. The cold fact is
that they can be only assur-
ances, however deeply he may
believe them.
He is not going to carry all
Is presidential primaries, but
even if he did he would not
have the 766 votes needed to
nominate. Besides, the pri-
mary laws of the various
States differ so much that a
primary count does not nee
essarily constitute a true re-
port of a candidates strength.

are not all written in water,
but the safe way to bet is
that some of them are. Nor
can leaders always deliver
what they think they can.
Time and fate intervene. here
as elsewhere.
For these and for other
deeply felt psychological rea-
sons. politicians question the
Kennedy strategy Of demand
ing that his efforts produce
absolute assurance of success
before the convention is
called to order. They know
better than most people how
loyalties can shift and falter
under pressure.
They also know that q will
to win and a fighting spirit
are contagious. From the
point Of view Of a veteran,
both Senators Humphrey and
Kennedy have been guilty Of
naivete in their constant
converse a tion about their
chances.
They can still eat their
words, Of course; it is vir-
tually an occupational neces-
sity that they should. But
politicians looking for a
band wagon do not care for
drivers who set any finish
line short Of that ballot
which brings victory and the
bright promise of a switch to
the gravy train on election
night.

President Eisenhower has
put up to Congress the task
Of closing perhaps the big
gest gap. Hes says:
The Government sustainS
q net cost Of more than

point:
although this means
that well over 80 per cent
of the total funds invested
in inventories and loans of
the Commodity Credit Cor
poration goes for wheat, this
crop provides only 6 per cent
of the cash receipts from
sales Of farm products.
1t wouldn't be so disturb
ing if the financial support
given the farm program was
getting somewhere. But it
isn't. Production, instead of
being curtailed, is being
stimulated. Here's how Mr..
Eisenhower, in his latest
message to Congress, ex-
plains what's happening:
Day by day this program
further distortS wheat mar
kets and supplies. Its only
future is ever higher cost.
1nexorably it generates ever

people will be hurt"
