This new law will help us

Freeman Acts
On Grain Bill
After Signing
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy has signed
into law his first major bill
an emergency program de-
signed to cut down tremendous
surpluses in grains used to feed
livestock.
Mr.. Kennedy signed the bill
yesterday less than two hours
after the Senate, by a 1881
vote, completed congressional
action. The House earlier ap-
proved the compromise bill,
231-185.
Before Mr.. Kennedy's sigma
ture was dry, Secretary of
Agriculture Freeman set the
laws machinery into action.
Their urgency was prompted by
the season-Spring is here and
planting of this years feed
grain crops already has started
in some sections.
Higher Supports
Mr.. Freeman Immediately
announced the national aver
age price supports for feed
grainS-corn, sorghums, oats,
barley and rye. All supports
were higher than last years.
Then Mr.. Freeman flew to
Omaha to address today the
first of three field meetings
with Agriculture Department
personnel. They will relay de-
tails Of the program to farmers.

Edward r. Murrow, director
Of the United States Informa-
ton Agency, said today he
asked the British Broadcasting
Corp. on his own initiative not
to use a documentary film
which he narrated while he
was still a Columbia Broad
casting System newSman.
Mr.. Murrow said he took the
step because he did not want
the film to appear to bear the
stamp of official United States
Government approval in its
showing abroad due to his new
job.
Mr.. Murrow failed in his ef-
fort and BIC televised the
show, entitled Harvest of
Shame" which the British or
ganization had bought from
CHS.
The film, dealing with the
problem of migratory farm
labor in the United States, was
previously shown in this coun-
try. Some Senators have criti-
cized it as portraying an un-
duly adverse picture of farm
labor conditions in America.
Others Involved
Senator Holland, Democrat
Of Florida, told a reporter that
other Government officials be-
sides Mr.. Murrow contacted
BBC in an effort to prevent
the showing of the film, but
got nowhere.
Senator Holland said he did
not feel privileged to name the
other Government officials who
intervened.

mentary November 25.

Censor Ban
Hailed, Other
Curbs Noted
BY GEORGE SHERMAN
Star staff Writer

The United States today ex-
pressed the hope that the So
Wet abolition Of censorship in
Moscow is a prelude to the
abandonment of jamming for
eign radio broadcastS and other
restrictions in the Soviet
Union.
Joseph Reap, State Depart
ment press officer, cautiously
welcomed the removal of this
barrier to the free flow of in
formation in news dispatches
from the Soviet Union.
He said the United States
Government hopes that seri-
Gus impediments to the free
flow of information into the
USSR from the rest of the
world, such as jamming of
radio broadcasts and bars to
the normal distribution of rep
resentative foreign publica-
tions, will also soon be aban-
doned."
Heavy Jamming
Government sources note
that jamming Of Russian-lan-
guage broadcastS from the
Voice Of America varies be-
tween 80 and IS per cent of
the program.
Broadcasts in other Soviet
Union languages, such as Bal
tic languages and Caucasian
languages to the south. are still
jammed 95 per cent to 100 per
cent of the time.
Jamming of the Voice OF
America ceased temporarily
during Premier Khrushchev's
visit to the United States in
September, 1859. But it began
again during and after the COL
lapse of the Paris summit con-
ference last May.

Murrow Says He Tried
To Bar TV Film Abroad

Nation. THAT the CHS officials
responsible could. for a few
pieces of silver, permit this
malicious and false slander
against our Nation to be pre-
sented abroad is Incompetent
sible," the Florida Senator said.
Holland Calls Film Unfair
The film was widely praised
as an important contribution
to improving the lot Of migra-
tory workers, but Senator Hol-
land cited what he called seven
Misrepresentation of fact in
it. He said it was unfair to
Florida migratory workers and
their employers.
And Senator Holland said
Mr.. Murrow told him he de-
plores and resents CBS's sale of
the documentary for showing
abroad and that he regards the
action as wholly irresponsible. p"
Richard S. Salant. CHS News
president, said in a statement
the film was a news report
available "for worldwide cir
culation Just as is any Ameri-
can newspaper or magazine. To
deny overseas subscribers the
use of the news report would be
inconsistent with basic princi-
pies of freedom of information
and full circulation of news"
Too Late TO Cancel
Senator Holland quoted Ed
mund Bunker, a CHS vice pres
ident, as saying the film would
not be sold elsewhere. He said
Mr. Bunker told him the film
was sold to the BIC some time
ago and it was too late to cancel
the rebroadcaSt.
But Senator Holland said the
rebroadcast on the very day
Mr.. Murrow took office as
USIA director could have no
other effect than one highly
embarrassing to our country
and to Mr.. Murrow."

aid any offshore boatman:
generalities that usually are
consistent.
One undisputed fact Is that
waves are formed by the move
ment Of air over the surface OF
the water. On unprotected
water, the height Of waves can
be estimated closely to be 2 per
cent Of the square of the wind
velocity. An 8-knot wind will
stir up waves less than Ia feet
in height, while a 15-knot wind
will create waves AZ feet high
- So
Seasoned seamen can tell
much about the underwater
terrain by observing wave
formations. They know that
generally receding beaches can
be expected to create gentle
spilling-type waves. Precipi-
tously shelving beaches cause
dangerous plunging waves.
Under most conditions inletS
are free from plunging-type
breakers. Navigable inlets re-
main breaker free except un-
der heavy weather conditions
Salt water boatmen prefer to
navigate treacherous inlets al

areas are most likely to be COW

An offshore sailor must learn

ditions. He may leave an inlet

lessly on gentle rolling seas
Offshore winds may be expected
in the afternoon. The afternoon
breeze is due to the greater
variance Of temperatures or
land than on water.
Water temperature will
change only a few degrees even
on an extremely warm day, but
land temperatures may vary 20
or 80 degrees. The warmer air
over the land rises causing a
lower pressure area. A sea
breeze occurs as the cooler air
close to the water moves stead
lily into the low-pressure section
over the land.
AS an outrunning tide meets
q breeze moving from seaward
in, gentle Swells may be turned
into tumbling whitecaps.
The surf IN an inlet is rough
er than it appears from seaward
for. the boatman approaching
the inlet sees the backs Of the
waves which minimize their
true nature.
The trick in running an in
let is to follow one of the big
gest waves and stay behind II
at a steady speed, maintaining
a safe interval ahead of the
following wave. Wave velocity
will slacken after it starts to
break. You must then alter your
boat speed so as not to over
run the breaking wave or you
