Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
didn't stay to watch Senator
John F. Kennedy acknowl-
edge his presidential nomi-
nation last night, but she
said she would support him
and campaign for him if
asked.
The former First Lady,
often critical of Senator
Kennedy, sat in the front
row of the balcony opposite
the rostrum. She showed
no emotion as the votes piled
up for Senator Kennedy and
Wyoming put him over the
top.
Two hours earlier, she had
gone to the platform amid
tumultuous applause to plead
for her candidate, Adlai E.
Stevenson.
Answers Query
After Senator Kennedy's
victory, she was asked by the

without hesitation.
And would she campaign
for him if he asked her?
"Of course" she said.
How did she feel about
the outcome?

REA PROFITEERING?
NO FURTHER ACTION

Are REA co0peratives prOfiteer-
ing by borrowing from the govern
ment at 2 per cent and reinvesting
their surplus funds in government
bonds paying higher interest rates?
This is question some critics have
been posing quietly around the capital
for the last year or so. Members of
House Appropriations Subcommittee
brought it into the open recently in
questioning REA Administrator David
Hamil.
Hamil gave the subcommittee full
report on the financial positions of
co-ops which have borrowed from his
agency. He reported he is urging
co-ops to keep their reserves reason
able" and to use funds above safe
reserve level to make advance repay
ments on their REA loans. On the key
question are the coop reserves too
big, Hamil replied he'd consider them
-at the present level-to be reasonable.

WASHINGTON, DC. - congressional
Republican leaders believe they have
fairly clear Line now on President
Eisenhower minimum terms for a
new compromise on wheat legislation.
The question of what could go into
an ssacceptable" wheat bill was
threshed out the other day in
brass-tacks discussion at the White
House between the President, other
administration officials and COP
leaders from Capitol Hill.
On the heels of that talk, the Senate
Agriculture Committee was preparing
at presstime to reopen its consideration
of wheat legislation.
What emerged from the White House
discussion was prediction from COP
Senate Leader Everett Dirksen Gid
that the President would okay a modi-
fled version of last years vetoed bill
to cut acreage and boost supports.
Dirksen talked vaguely of 20 per
cent acreage cut combined with an
80 per cent of parity support, but re-
fused to commit the White House to
those figures.
Sen. Milton r. Young (R-ND), how
ever, predicted flatly the President
would okay an 1920 bill. And Young
is offering a plan under which farm
ers would get payment in kind If the
acreage affected by the 20 per cent
cut is kept completely idle. This pay
ment, equal to one-third the normal
yield of the affected acres, would help
hold up wheat farm income without
turning the idled. land over to feed
production.
The White House attitude seems to
be about as clear an admission as pos
sible that the administration has no
hopes for Agriculture Secretary Ezra
T. Benson's plan to reduce wheat sup
ports and eliminate acreage control.
Acceptance of an 80 per cent support
rate also would be a reversal of past
administration policy and slap at
Benson's fight against any increase in
wheat supports. But informed Repub-
lican sources say the White House is
no longer willing to back Benson on
this stand.
Another apparent casualty, for this
year at least, is the wheat marketing
control plan sponsored by the National
Association of Wheat Growers, the
National Grange and the National
Farmers Union. This proposal has won
lot of support at the Capitol and
probably could be passed-but if passed
it would face the virtual certainty of
a veto.

NO FURTHER ACTION
Despite complaints from some
wheat groups, USDA will take no
further action to interfere with inn
port for feed use of Canadian wheat
screenings.
Wheat spokesmen complain that Can
ada has shipped in some quite good
wheat under the gllise of screenings,
also that screenings from Canada
aren't needed at all when we have
feed surpluses in this country.
USDA says the Canadian govern
ment has already agreed to keep its
own exporters from shipping good
wheat as screenings. Further, admins

screenings out altogether or limit them
by quota it might react against exports

teen-agers of the Northern Virginia Aquatic Club
worked for more than week on mlnutely
detailed preparations.
Co-ordinating the luau was Shelley Mann, 22
of Arlington, winner of the gold medal for swim
ming at the 1856 Olympics in Melbourne, Aus
tralia who is on the clubs staff.
Everybody was really excited over the nov
city of the lLGu theme" Shelley says, "and they
outdid themselves in getting the proper costumes
for the party"
Many of the girls made their own nuu-n1uus
(colorful, loose-fitting native dresseS) and sa-
rongs, she adds, and surprisingly large number
of the boys wore the authentic lGUG-lGDG outfits
worn by Hawaiian men.
AS the guests arrived, they were given leis to
wear around their necks and were escorted to the
emu, charcoal-filled pit over which chickens
and corn on the cob were roasted. The area was
Lit with Iudu torches.
With their food, the feasting Hawaiiansfo
a-night ate pineapples cut in half and drank
punch from cocoanut Shells They sat on Hawai-
paper.
After the feast the group gathered beside
the green garland-laden pool for entertainment
by five hula dancers who performed under
raised bamboo hut. The dancers were Sue john
son. Frances CodSpoti, Carole Pennlf1ll, K-Lee
Coutts and Candy Antosz.
Sue, IS, of 2617 Military road, Arlington, who
lived for two years in Hawaii where her father was
stationed with the Navy, observes, II think this

everything was authentic"
Sue saws that while she lived in Hawaii she
attended many luGuS because "the Hawaiians
have IL1u on every special occaSion-and even
when there's not special occasion"
Hawaiian music was the hit of the evening,
but both Sue and Shelley admit that they were
not surprised when rock -and-roll music blared
forth when the dancing got well under way.

makes Good Sense"
Mr.. Eisenhower said he thinks
the proposals originated by the
Senate make pretty good
sense" He said the poll tax
certainly should be abolished
for Federal elections, and added
that giving the residents of
Washington the right to vote
in presidential elections is "rea-
Sonable and should be done"
The President said the third
proposal resulted from the pos
sible consequences of an atomic
disaster. Governors, who always
have the authority to fill Senate
vacancies, could do the same IN
the House only If more than
half of the House membership
was wiped out in an emergency.
Il might add that I have in
mind a couple Of. my own" said
Mr.. Eisenhower, as he outlined
his two proposals.
Defends Item Veto
He pointed out that electing
House members for four instead
OF two years would enable them
to serve for the same length OF
time as a President.
In defense of the item veto,
the President said it would en-
able a Chief Executive to defeat
pork barrel bills. For many
years Congress has debated the
idea Of allowing q President to
kill parts of an appropriation
or public works bill without
vetoing the entire measure. But
there are no signs that the
lawmakers are ready to give
any President this whip-hand
over them.
In the last few years Mr..
Eisenhower has vetoed housing
and flood-control bills because
they contained projects he had
turned down. With item veto
power, he could have stricken
the disapproved projects.
Approves Proposals
In indorsing yesterdays Sem
ate action, Mr.. Celler. a New
York Democrat. pointed out
that he has introduced a reso-
luton corresponding to the
Senate plan for reconstituting
the House in time of disaster. /

to act. The feeling in the House
has been that the resolution
might suggest an atmosphere
OF panic. It also has been
argued that II a disaster oc-
CURED the House could quickly
change its rules to lower the
number required for a quorum.
First Poll Tax Action
This is the first time the
Senate has ever voted to re-
peal the poll tax. The House
many years ago voted to out
law the tax by act of Congress.
but those bills failed in the
Senate.
Mr.. Celler was of the opinion
today that inclusion of the
anti-poll tax provision would
make 1t harder to get this
Senate constitutional amend
ment package through the
House because Of Southern
opposition.
A constitutional amendment
must go through both houses
by two-thirds vote and must
be ratified by three-fourths of
the States. With so States now
in the Union. 38 would be re-
quired to ratify constitution
al change.
In tying the three proposals
together. the Senate stipulated
that the States could act on
each one separately. The vote
on final Senate passage of the
package was 10 to 18, which
was II more than the required
two-thirds.
Sponsored by Kefauver
Senator Kefauver, Democrat
Of Tennessee, sponsored the
plan to let the Governors fill
House vacancies because he felt
an atomic attack may leave the
House unable to legislate.
The Kefauver resolution was
used as the vehicle to carry the
two other amendments because
it was the only one which got
out Of the Senate Judiciary
Committee to the floor.
Senator Holland, Democrat
Of Florida, led the fight to out
law the poll tax. which still is
in use in flve StateS-Alabama,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas
and Virginia. 1t was fought,
however, by most other South
