Benson Policies
urt Consumers.

The suspension of lamb grading
is an example of how the consumer
has taken a backseat to industry
in the policies of the Dept. of Ag-
rlculture, the Meat Cutters charg-
ed before a congressional commit
tee.
The Meat Cutters asked the
House Agriculture Committee to
ensure that lamb grading was con-
tinued and ito make the Depart
ment's top officials understand
that the welfare of the millions of
consumers must be considered par
amount in policy making and de-
cision making"
Agriculture Sec. Ezra Taft Ben
son ordered a years suspension OF
lamb grading effective Jan. 4 but
postponed it when the House group
decided to look into the issue.
The suspension of lamb grad
ing would be a step backward in
aid to the consumer. 1t could also
be used as an opening wedge
against other consumer beneficial
grading programs, as beef-grading
and poultry-grading.

lie interest.
Former Chairman James Law
renee Fly and former Commission
er Clifford J. Durr expressed their
views in a special report ISSUED
by the Fund for the Republic. They
were joined in their criticism of
the FEC by Benedict P. Cottone,
former commission general coun-
sci.
Defending the government agen-
cy was ROsel Hyde, q present FEC
member, who contended the pub
lie is laboring under a "misunder-
standing" about what the commits
sion can do.
Fly accused the dominant adj
vertisers, through their agencies"
of exerting tremendous power
over programming," and declared
that the networks have been fore
ed to yield lot of control" to these
sponsors for economic considera-
TONS"
Durr charged that the FEC has
not effectively checked the per-
formance of stations against the
promises made by operators at the
time they applied for licenses. AS
a result, he said, any relationship
between promises and performance
is "coincidental." He added that
"the man who gets the station is
often the man who is willing to
stretch the truth the farthest."
Durr referred to UNTITLED prom
ises about the time that would be
made available for public service
programs, including equal time fer
discussion of questions of major
interest.
Cottone's criticism pointed up
the fact that in its 25-year history,
the commission has revoked only
three broadcasting licenses - IN
circumstances involving fragrant"
violations. The reluctance to move
against stations, he said, reflects
the attitude of the entire broad
casting industry, which has "oo-
posed any examination of prograrn-
ming"
In defense of the agency on
which he currently serves, Hyde
said the public may be expecting
things from US" which the COM
mission cannot do in the light Of
''the law and its limitations"

backed by former deacons of the
church, who filed custer proceed
ings against the pastor last year.
They are Will Lowe, Louis Tucker,
Wilson Torrey and Tom Arm
strong.
Last year following suit by the
deacons in q special election with
Atty. Dixon Pyles presiding on
appointment by the Chancellor, the
congregation voted to keep Rev.
West as pastor. According to re-
ports the suit last week was based
on the contemption that the pas
tor had violated orders set forth
by special Judge Pyles in the last
year election.
Rev. West claims last year that
the deacons was mad with him be-
cause of his refusal to permit
NAACP meetings in the church.
The former deacons said during the
hearing last week that the election
last year was rugged, because Rev.
West persuaded non-members to
attend the meeting and vote for
him, that following the election
they were ousted from the church
and there is now unwholesome
atmosphere, which may erupt into
violence at any time.
In a final conclusion last week
Chancellor Horton ruled that the
court should not intervene in the
case and said the government of a
Baptist Church is. the soul re-
sponsibility of the congregation.

the Bachelor Of Science degree in
1916. In 1861 she earned the Bach
elor Of Laws degree at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin Law School,
and was admitted to the Bar of

practiced law in Milwaukee with
her husband, Dale w. Phillips, un-

Elected in 1856 to a four-year

yields, larger pig crops, increased
milk production, better breeds of
livestock and poultry, and more
rapid readying of quality livestock
for market, DR.. Clarkson turned to
research in food chemistry and the
work of DR.. Carver in this field.
"Dr. Carver" he said, "is per-
haps best known for his develop
ment of new food products and in
dustrial items from agricultural
raw materials. He developed 800
products from peanuts, including
milk and cheese. He made plastics,
paper, and insulating board from
peanut shells. He developed a flour
and more than 100 other items
from the sweetpotato. He worked
on the chemistry of the cotton
fiber, and made paving blocks,
cordage, paper and rope fibers."
Then the research official point
ed out that similarly the Depart
ment now has four major research
and development laboratories seek
ing to discover new uses-for farm
products as way of expending
farmers markets.
DR.. Clarkson listed a number of
achievements of these and other
research facilities of the Depart
ment, explaining that the key to
these successes is the trained, dedi-
Gated scientist, as was DIR. Carver.
Following in DIR. Carver's foot
steps are several members of his
race working in Department lab
oratories, said DR.. Clarkson. Am
ong these, he said, are: DIR. Benja-
min Alexander, a chemist who has
had an important part in the de-
velopment of promising new insec-
ticides; John E. Hodge, q chemist
who received a Superior Service
Award for his work on blood
plasma substitutes, and Joseph E,
Coleman who received the Ameri-
can Oil Chemists Society award
for his work on animal fats.
"All over the world" declared
DR.. Garrison, "the human race is
increasing at an unprecedented
rate. These people win demand
that agriculture find q way to feed
them =. There is no doubt that
science and farmers working to-
gether can do the Job"

lie aid grants.
Assistance programs are run by
So state agencies and 5000 local
agencies at an annual cost of about
$3.5 billion. The federal govern
ment now pays about 81 percent
of the cost. Federal funds are pro-
vided for four programs affect
ing a total of z million people:
the aged; the needy blind; depend
ent children and the totally and
permanently disabled age SO and
over.
The following recommendations
were among the more significant,
according to Mrs. Katherine Pollak
Ellickson, assistant director of the
AFL-CIO Dept. of Social Security,
who served on the council:
Extension of coverage. The So
cial Security Act should be amend
ed to include federal grants to
encourage states to provide aid ITO
financially needy persons regard
less of the cause for need (includ-
ing, for example, the unemployed,
the underemployed and the less
seriously disabled)."
Options for states. States should
have the free choice of setting up
single category which would in
clude all the needy programs or
of variations, with the new gen.
eral assistance group to be includ-
ed either way.
Federal share. For the present,
the federal share of publis assist
ance, including general assistance,
should stay at 5000 percent.
Adequacy of assistance. The
council said there is great varia-
ton among states on what consti-
tutes adequacy" and, while less
than half meet their own stand
ards, "the rest do not" Payments
are often very low" and "too- of
ten poverty is perpetuated," the
report said.
It urged federal leadership in
developing up to date budget
guides for state use and proposed
federal-state-local efforts toward
adequate aid levels.
Adequacy Of medical care. "Low
income and poor health work in a
vicious circle" the advisory group
said in noting that families have
been forced on relief by long i'll
ness and heavy medical bills.
Residence requirements. Since
most states now have residence re-
quirements which prevent many
needy persons from securing help,
federal funds should go only to
those programs which impose no
residence requirements on other
wise eligible people.
