From LABOR

| The Midwest farm vote often has
been decisive in Presidential cleo
tions-for example, in Truman's sur
prise victory of 1913. This year, it is
expected to play a particularly i'm
portant part, because lot of farmers
have been rebelling against the poll
cies of Agriculture Secretary Ezra
T. Benson. That was evidenced by the
triumph of Democratic Congressman
Quentin Burdick in the recent special
senatorial election in usually Re-
publican North Dakota.
The Democrats intend to push their
advantage, as they demonstrated by
the farm plank in the platform they
adopted at their national convention.
The Republicans adopted a plank de-
signed to make the farmers forget
Benson.
How do these two pIanks COM
pare, with each other and with the
Family Farm" bill sponsored by
a group of farm state senators
headed by Hubert HI. Humphrey
(D-Minn.)?
The Family Farm bill is a signifi- |
cant part of the picture, because al
most all its provisions were opposed |
by Benson and threatened with Eli
vetoes. Yet some major
parts of it now are included in the
COP farm plank.
Nevertheless, the National Farmers
Union, which represents the family
iize" farmers, says reports that the
Republican and Democratic farm plat
'orms are much alike are evidently
'ased ON quick reading. The COP
ried to avoid Benson-type program,

pillows, taking wheat as an example: a
"a farmer would agree to take t

Or instance, 100 acres. Then the {
overnment would give him a GER C

er of bushels he could have grown n

per cent, but take that figure for ii

up to $150,0OO year and even more
if the rate were set higher than so
| per cent, for not growing wheat.
"All this money would come out of
the taxpayers pockets" the Demo-
cratic senator said. "It's in line with
the Benson policy of helping the big
farmers but not the little ones. In
this respect, at least, the new Republi-
can farm platform does not repudiate
Benson"
OTHER COMPARISONS
Both the Republican and Demo-
cratic platforms would continue the
"soil bank program, under which
Uncle Sam pays farmers directly for
not planting crops.
The COP plank took over the Food
for Peace" slogan originated by SEN
ator Humphrey in connection with
the Family Farm bill, and adopted
some other provisions which are in
either that measure, the Democratic
plan, or both.
Only the Family Farm bill pro-
poses to put top limit ON the total :
amount of taxpayers money any one
farmer can get in one year under all
farm programs. However, political
platforms do not go into such de-
tails. AS the Farmers Union said:
"The party platforms are only
hunting licenses which set broad
limits within which It's okay for
the next Administration to seek
solutions to farm problems. The
Democrats permit hunting all over
the ranch, while the Republicans
fence off preserves"

are presently allowed in the parks.
There is plan to establish short
grass prairie preserve for wolves,
grizzlies and other species which have
been driven to the mountains by the

serve is created the commission feels
that they should be in charge of the
harvesting of the game. They are held
responsible for the problems created
on the outside of preserves. A possible
location for the prairie park is on
the Missouri River above Fort Peck

LONDON, Dec. % (AP).-
The Soviet Union called on
Britain today to join In an
appeal to Washington to halt
what it called the crude inter-
ference of the United States
in Laos. ..@ -
In q note to Britain, the
Soviet Union requested revival
Of the 1854 Geneva Control
Commission to consider the
situation in Laos. Britain and
the Soviet Union are co-chair-
men Of the Geneva conference.
The note, broadcast by the
Moscow radio. reiterated So
Wet insistence that the fighting
in Laos is caused by United
States interference, although
the Soviet Union has openly
been flying arms to leftist
forces fighting the pro-Western
regime of Prince Boun Oum,
the Premier, and Gen. Phoumi
NoSavan
Qn Washington, officials
said privately the Soviet note
to Britain seemed to be o
cynical diplomatic maneuver
designed to promote RusSia'S
propaganda campaign against
the United States. They
noted that the call for re-
vival of the Geneva confer
ence machinery was based on
Russia's charge that the
United States is the source
of all the trouble in Laos
although the United States
has repeatedly charged Rus
Sia with using subversion and
rebellion in efforts to destroy
the independence Of Laos.
(There was no immediate
formal comment on the pro-
posal for restoring commit
tee supervision in Laos. but
officials said that, since the
government Of Premier BouA
Oum has opposed the Sug-
geStion, the United States
had been opposed to it also)
The note suggested that
Britain and the Soviet Union
address a message to the
United States Government ask
ing it to assist in the efforts
of the two chairmen to normal
ize the situation"
U. S. Aid Continues
With this end in view, the
note went on. the co-chairmer
should ask the United States
"to cease foreign aid to the
rebel Gen. Phoumi Nosavan
to withdraw United States
service personnel from hi:
army, to withdraw American
military equipment and also tt
use influence with the othel
states which, together with thu
United States, have sent serv.
ice personnel and arms to the
warlike Gen. NcSavan."
The United States has poured
millions into Laos, especially
military aid to defend its in
dependence and to help wage
the six-year-old war against
the pro-Communist Pathet LaC
guerrillas. This aid has con-
