Reserve Contract
Extensions Halt

Chairman R. Harry Wilson oi
the Kent Agricultural Stabiliza,
tion and Conservation County
Committee today announced
that Conservation Reserve con.
tracts which expire in 1860 OF
later years are no longer elig-
ible to be extended for an addi-
tional period of years.
Previously, contracts entered
into for five years or less have
been eligible for extension up to
the maximum of ten years upon
application filed with the coun.
ty ASC committee at any time
before the original expiration
date.
MIR. Wilson said the extension
of contracts is being stopped
at this time because of the fact
that extension of a contract has
the same effect as new con-
tract and would require the ex-
penditure of additional Conser-
walton Reserve funds. Under
present legislation, no new Con-
servation Reserve contracts may
be entered into.
The only exception to the cut
off on extensions is in the case
of contracts calling for tree
planting for which seedlings are
not available. Such contracts
be extended one year for
each year seedlings are unavail-
able.
MIR. Wilson said the present
ruling has no effect on the per-
iod of existing contracts. These
will continue in accordance with
contract terms.

Future Planning
Helping Farmers
In Price Struggle

Farm prices are down while
prices are still going up for most
of the things farmers buy. So,
farmers are beginning to appre-
ciate more and more the need
to become more business-like in
planning their farm operations,
according to county agent Mr..
George Vapaa.
The objective of farm plan
ming is to take a good look at
the farm as a whole and to
figure out ways and means of
making the best use of all the
rarm resources available to the
farm family.
Farm management people
have contended all along that
efficient farm planning, is the
key to increased net income on
most FARMS" Mr.. Vapaa said.
"But this idea has not been easy
to sell. One reason is the lack
of impressive financial benefits.
However, this picture is chang
ing rapidly. Evidence of the
value of good planning shows
up in the bank accounts of
farmers who really plan their
operation.
Farming today is not only big
business but it is also one that
promises to become even big
ger. AS time goes on, farming
will become more complicated
and complex, and the man who
doesn't plan ahead may find
himself left behind.
Farm planning may be thought
of as a "do-it-yourself" solution

DAVID LAWRENCE

What is back of all the fuss
and controversy about Amer
ica's defense program, and
what of the outcry that "the
Soviets are ahead of u.s.?
Hints have been coming out
lately that not all the pres
sure for more spending on
defense is emanating from
objective sources but from
some with a definite merce-
nary interest in contracts or
from members Of the armed
forces who naturally want to
see more money spent on
their own services. Who feeds
out or leaks to the press the
technical information and
appraisals to give the impress
sion that America is falling
down on the defense job?
Gen. Nathan F. Twining.
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff. made a significant
observation the other day
while teStifying before the
House Subcommittee on De-
fense Appropriations. He said:
The only way we can deal
with this fellow (the Soviet
is not to tell him how def
cient we are today; we are
prone to do this at times,
because it gets US more mon
ey. 1t is the democratic sys-
tenn. and I am not bucking
it, but I think it is very
dangerous"
In the same hearings. Rep
resentative Jamie L. Whit
ten, Democrat of Mississippi,
addressing Secretary of De-
fense Thomas S. Gates, said:
80 many vested interests
get involved in this situation
that it is mighty hard to
make military decisions COM

eventually would find a solu-
ton.

to get contracts, it becomes
highly imperative, if I am
right about the inflationary
results of defense spending
and particularly that ex-
penditure for which we get
no real defense-that these
things be looked at COM
pletely effectively"
Mr.. Whitten then re-
ferred to the investigation
last year, conducted by a
House committee under the
leadership of Representative
F. Edward Hebert, Democrat
Of Louisiana, which called on
the Defense Department to
furnish a list of retired off,
GERS of high rank who were
working for military contrac-
tors. Mr.. Whitten asked that
the list be printed in the
record together with the re-
port, which said in part:
THE committee is seriously
concerned over problems
which arise as a result of
the acceptance by retired
senior officers of employment
in responsible executive posi-
tions with defense contrac-
tors"
Now, it is natural for COM
panieS engaged in defense
work to seek the knowledge
and experience in technical
matters possessed by retired
military men. But do these
men conf1ne themselves al
ways to such duties, or do
they furnish the press in
formation designed to help
their companies get more
contracts? These are ques-
tionS related to the whole
problem studied by the in
vestigating committee.
1t is curious. but the state
ments made by our highest
military officers are con-
stantly sniped at in the press
and by the politicians, and
the impression is given that
these same officials would
weaken Americas defenses.
Statements, moreover, by our
authorized Spokesmen do not
get the prominence they de-
serve. Secretary of Defense
Gates, for instance, made this
statement a few days ago be-
fore the House subcommittee:
There is no question that
the Soviet Union is a formi-
dable power. 1t has made
tremendous progress since
the end of World War II in
developing not only it's mill
tary but also it's economic
strength, and will make con-
tinued progress in the future.
But the impression in some
Evening star., 1960-01-26

quarters that the Soviet
Union has overtaken or even
outdistanced the Unite d
States in military power is
simply not supported by the
facts.
I'VE must ever be cautious
not to underestimate the
military strength of possible
opponents, but it does not
contribute to our national
security to overestimate their
strength. 1t can be danger
Gus to our national security
and our position in the world
to allow a false impression
to gain ground that the
United States is second to
the Soviet Union.
The same holds true with
respect to our relative eco
nomic strength. While the
Soviet Union since the end
of World War II has made
great progress In develop
ing its economy. the United
States is still far ahead by
virtually any measure Of
economic strength"
How many citizens read the
text of that statement by
the Secretary of Defense,
released last week? How
many persons, on the other
hand. read the Sniping re-
marks of the politicians who
are quibbling about apprais-
ais based on Soviet "inten-
tions" as contrasted with
capabilities?
The United States has the
power to deter an enemy.
Its own retaliatory power
extends to bases overseas as
well as to miSsile-carrying
aircraft carriers and sub
marines that rove the seas.
Maybe the Soviets are ahead
in certain categories of weap-
onS, but it is overall power
that counts. Russia would be
destroyed if she attacked the
United States, because she
cannot at any time possibly
have enough missiles to
destroy at the same time all
bases in this country, all
Allied bases overseas and all
the mobile bases of our Navy.
Fear of retaliation that can
be masSively destructive is
what deters an enemy.
The United States is in
terested' in the sum total Of
deterrent power. and today
has adequate strength to do
the job. This assertion is
based on the statements Of
the President of the United
States. who is himself a mill
tary man, and of the Secre-
tary Of Defense and of the
Chairman Of the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff.

their investments and their
work in those countries and
that such contributions, taking
into account changing condi-
tionS, can continue on a mutu-
ally satisfactory basis. The
United States Government will
continue to bring to the atten-
ton of the Cuban government
any instances in which the
rights Of its citizens under
Cuban law and under inter-
national law have been disre-
garded and in which redress
under Cuban law is apparently
unavailable or denied. In this
connection it is the hope of the
United States Government that
differences of opinion between
the two governments in matters
recognized under international
law as subject to diplomatic
negotiations will be resolved
through such negotiations. In
the event that disagreements
between the two governments
concerning this matter should
persist, 1t would be the inten-
ton of the United States
Government to seek solutions
through other appropriate in
ternational procedures.
The above points seem to me
to furnish reasonable bases for
a workable and satisfactory
relationship between our two
sovereign countries. 1 should
like only to add that the United
States Government has conf
dence in the ability of the
Cuban people to recognize and
defeat the intrigues of inter-
national communism which are
aimed at destroying democratic
institutions in Cuba and the
traditional and mutually bene-
f1cial friendship between the
Cuban and American peoples.
