til he retired When he started drawing his
pension, it would be taxed at the capital
gains rate.
Farmers with employees would have to
set up pension fund for them with funds
set aside on the same percentage of their
income as the farmer sets aside from his, in
order to qualify for a pension under the
terms of the bill
This pension program would not replace
the social security program which is now
available to farmers and ranchers The re-
tired person would enjoy income from both
programs.

WITH THE APPROVAL of the treasury
department, Congress is in the process of
enacting pension plan for farmers and
other self-employed persons Reports from
Washington indicate that passage of the bill
may come during the present session.
The legislation now being considered
would permit self-employed farmers and
ranchers, and others, to invest up to 10 per
cent of annual income, but not more than
$4,000 year, in an annuity or some other
form of pension.
The money devoted to this purpose each
year would not be taxed. The self-employed

Farmers need to improve and organ
ize their bargaining and marketing tools
and use them to make the market price sys-
tenn function better Charles B. Shuman,
President, American Farm Bureau of Fed
Grafton.
Farmers and ranchers who are thinking
of retiring but plan to wait for another year
or SO in the hope of getting higher than cur
rent prices for their land may be disap-
pointed. 1t seems likely that land prices
have reached their peak in some areas and
have passed that point in others 1t is doubt
full whether prices will go any higher, at
least for several years.
There is still much to be done in improv-
ing haying methods on most irrigated farms.
Timing in hay harvesting is extremely i'm
portant. Much valuable protein is lost when
legumes are cut after the bud stage And
there is further serious loss of nutrients
when leaves are permitted to shatter in the
field.
Don't fail to vote in the June z primary
election Particularly in case of Congress

About AZ per cent of the high school
seniors in the United States in October 1859
intended to enter college in 1860, while an
other 20 per cent were undecided, accord
ing to Bureau of Census survey. A larger
proportion of non-farm than of farm youths,
and of boys than of girls, either had definite
college plans or at least were still consider
ing attending college. The percentage of
seniors intending to enter college would
probably be considerably higher in the
northern states and lower in the southern
states than this national average.

Nusser Critical
OfU. S. Degree
For Ben-Gurion

CAIRO, Mar. S (AP).-Pres-
ident Nasser yesterday criticized
bitterly David Ben-Gurion's
forthcoming visit to the United
States, where the Israeli Presi-
dent will be given an honorary
degree.
In a speech in Damascus,
Mr.. Nasser said: How are they
going to give an honorary de-
gree to the greatest war crimi-
nal Of this century? And how
is a degree given to a man who
killed thousands of (Palestin-
lam children and women?"
He charged that Mr.. Ben
Gurion intends to provoke the
United States against the Arabs
during his United States visit.
I'VE, for our part, have
pledged to God to shed our
blood and not be under the
domination Of America or Is
rael," he added.
Mr.. Ben-Gurion will receive
an honorary degree from Bran
deis University at Waltham.

Is Sentenced

ROANOKE. Va. Mar. S (AP)
Charles (Yank) Stewart,
identified as ringleader of the
recent Ivy Bluff, N. c.. prison
break, was sentenced to three
concurrent five year Federal
prison terms yesterday.
Federal Judge Ted Dalton
imposed the terms after Stew
art pleaded no contest to
charges Of interstate transpor-
tation of a stolen car, a stolen
gun and trying to escape from
the city jail here.
Judge Dalton ruled the terms
should run concurrently at the
Federal penitentiary in Lewis
burg, Pa.
Stewart has been tried on
more than 20 different charges
since 1928. He promised Judge
Dalton he would not try to es-
cape from the Federal peniten-
tiary.
United States Attorney John
Stricken said Stewart was a
man more dedicated to crime
than any" he had ever seen. In
North Carolina Stewart has
some 20 years of a sentence re-
naming to serve.

-Four young children died
last night in a fire which broke
out after strong winds blew
over the chimney of their home
The victims were Dorthea
Mills, 8; her sister. Yvonne, /;
Quinton Lewis, 8, and Mar
garet Thomas. S. Six other
youngsters were carried to
safety by an adult and several
youths who were in the house
when the fire started.
Police said the tWo-story
frame house caught fire when
the chimney toppled over and
caused an oil stove to explode
The three-alarm blaze de-
stroyed the house as firemen
were hampered by snow-covered
roads and high winds.

He would not speculate on
what other phases of the civil
rights problem might be in
cluded in the final draft.
Noting that there has been
much talk of invoking the clo-
ture rule, by which two-thirds
of the Senate could terminate
the Southern f1libuster, Senator
johnson said he does not think
cloture is in the picture at the
moment.
Other sources believe it may
be necessary in the end to in
woke cloture. even to get ac-
ceptance Of a House bill.
Senator johnson made It
clear he is still opposed, as he
was in 1857. to passage of a
bill that would authorize the
Attorney General to seek. civil
injunctions to protect the civil
rights of individuals in any
field of endeavor.
In 1857 Congress granted
such authority for use only to
protect voting rights, but a
group of liberals in both parties
will try to add the broader In
junction provision to this years
bill. rs
Senator johnson said he does
not think a majority in Con-
gresS desires this provision, and
does not believe the admins
tration favors it.
Asked if the Senate might
declare an armistice in the cur
rent debate until the House
acts. Senator johnson said
there are no plans in that di-
rection. He indicated instead
that the Senate will go on with
the schedule it followed this
week, and predicted it will end
in passage of a bill. .-s,.-
During yesterdays debate
Senator Scott, Republican Of
Pennsylvania, said that during
an ordeal such as the Senate

public opinion passes through
three stages. He said first there
is confusion and then irritation
and finally comprehension.
The Pennsylvania said

now saying the Senate is max

This indicates the public

Senator Fulbright said that
if America has reached the
point where anyone who criti-
cizes Government policy is
suspect Of motive, there is no
hope for US"
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen dismissed the Fulbright
blast as "the lay opinion of a
man from Arkansas"
Senator Scott, Republican of
Pennsylvania, said Democrats
were quick to criticize the de-
tense effort. but passed no
legislation" to improve it.
Enraged, Majority Leader
johnson shouted back that de-
tense funds voted by Congress
have been "impounded, sunk
and hidden" by the Budget Blu
reau. Aides, wakened by a
phone call from the thoroughly
angry Senator johnson, rushed
to the floor with supporting
documents.
Debate Widens
More Senators came out to
see what was happening. The
debate ranged widely, losing its
focus, lighting now on farm
policy, then on foreign aid, then
back to the farm. then to pub
lie works and stream pollution,
then to tax loopholes.
Senator johnson paced the
chamber, urging first this Dem
ocrat, then that, into the battle.
Oblivious for the moment of
their differences on civil rights,
Democrats from North and
South Joined in a recital of the
lnlQulCleS OF Cne EISENHOWER

At one point, Senator Full
bright found himself recalling
his 1916 suggestion that Presi-
dent Truman resign and let the
Republicans, who had just won
control Of Congress. take over
the presidency as we'll.
He even repeated the epithet
the former President had APP
piled to him at that time. This
wasn't quite the theme Of my
speech" he said in a tone OF
self -reproach.
He returned to his text, fin-
ished it, called for a quorum
and turned the floor over to
Senator Eastland Of Mississippi.
The fllibuster was back to
normal.
