Feed Grain Plans
Made In Amelia

County and Community Commit
tees met on April to make def
mite plans for the 1861 Feed
Grain Program. Also attending
this meeting were the Extension
Service personnel, Soil Conser-
walton Service and feed and fer
tilizer dealers located in the vi
cinity of Amelia.
Farmers who produced corn or
grain sorghum in 1959-60 are ELI
gible to participate in the 1861
Feed Grain Program. The ASC
office will need the farm acre
age information for all crops
grown in 1859 and 1860. Many
farmers have already filed this
information to the ASC office,
James E. Ford. office manager
stated. Other farmers who are
interested should supply the nee
essary acre age information to
the ASC office as soon as possible.
The program is entirely volunt-
airy and applies to the 1861 crop
only.
The ASC County Committee
will make the determination for
bases. rates of payment. and ap-
proved conservation uses as rap
idly as possible. The farm oper-
ator or owner will be notified as
soon as the committee determines
his base and payment rate per
acre. The base acreage is deter
mined from the 1959-6O acreage
reported for the farm.
The farmer who cooperates
must divert at least 20 per cent
of his 1959-6O average acreage of
corn and grain sorghum to con-
serving uses. He may, if he de-
sires, divert additional acreage
not to exceed a total of 20 per
cent of his base acreage plus
20 acres.
The rate of pay you receive per
acre will be established from the
productivity or yield history of
your land. The normal yield for
Amelia county has been estab-
lished at 4O5 bushels per acre.
However. it was the feeling of
the committee that this figure
was entirely too low and they
have appealed to the Virginia
ASC State Committee for recon-
sideration.
All payments will be made to
the farmer in the form of ne
gotiable certificates for which
producers may receive cash
equivalent of grain. Cooperators
who wish to receive the cash
equivalent may ask the Com
modify Credit Corporation to act
as their agent in marketing
grain. AS agent for the producer.
the Commodity Credit Corpora
ton will advance the payment to
the producer in cash through the
ASC office and subsequently
market the grain. A payment of
50 per cent can be advanced to
the farmer as soon as he signs
the necessary forms.
An acreage equal to the acre
age diverted or taken out of pro-
duction from corn or grain Sor-
ghum must be devoted to ap-
proved conservation uses. Among
which are permanent covers.
wildlife food. water storage and
temporary covers if approved by
the county committee. This could
include natural grasses. The land
set aside to conserving uses can
not be grazed after April IS or a
crop harvested from it. In ad-
dition. weeds. rodents and insects
must be controlled OH the de-
voted acreage as directed by the
county committee. Farmers will
be notified of the final date for
making application to participate
i'll the feed grain program.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Dec. (AP).-Acting Secretary
General u Thant today criti-
cized Katangese President
Noise Tshombe as a very un-
stable man." He seid he would
unveil concrete plans next week
for dealing with the secession
ist Congo province.
Mr.. Thant made the state
ment in answer to questions at
his first news conference since
he was elected to the United
Nations post almost a month
ago.
He said the U. N. Congo op-
Grafton and its financial costs
constitute his No. l problem.
Mr.. Thant made no attempt
to cloak his dislike for Mr..
Tshombe, whose paratroopers
in EliSabethville subjected two
top U. N. officials to beatings
earlier in the week.
He was asked about state
ments attributed to Mr..
TShombe that the beatings
were planned by Mr.. Tshombe S
foes in order to influence United
States Senator Dodd, who was
present at the time.
Il would say that Tshombe
is capable of making any kind
OF statement" Mr.. Thant re-
piled. After consulting with
those who know him, l get the
impression that Tshombe is
a very unstable man"
The Soviet Union urged Mr..
Thant in a letter published to-
day to undertake speedy action
to end the secession of Katanga.
Soviet Delegate Valerian A..
zorin told Mr.. Thant the So
Wet delegation does not recog-
niZe the cease fire signed in
October by U. N representatives
and the Tshombe regime.
This was Mr.. Zorin's second
letter on the subject. Last week
he pressed Mr.. Thant to ex-
plain "on what authority" the
cease fire was signed. Mr..
Thant said it was approved by
top U. N. officials as a military
necessity after last September's
Inflated attempt to disarm the
Katangese forces.

the investigation have not been
named.
The U. N. disclosed that the
two companies of troops be-
lieved to have committed the
massacre already have slipped
away from. Kindu. But the
U. N. spokesman insisted this
does not mean the culprits can
not be apprehended.
In a strongly worded letter to
Premier Cyrille Adoula, DR..
Llnner emphasized that the
world body is holding the Con-
golese government responsible
for finding the guilty troops
and bringing them to justice.
The U. N. hasn't enough
strength in the Congo to dis
arm the mutinous troops. Sim
ilarly the Adoula government.
though it has publicly declared
its shock and regret for the in
c,oent, seems unable to move
against the wishes of left-wing
politicians who oppose any
weakening or humiliation of

house of Katangese Gen. Nor

American at whose home the
two U. N. officials were as
saulted Tuesday during a party
for Senator Dodd, Democrat
of Connecticut.
Mr.. Tshombe said the people
of Katanga are very much
against the United Nations be-
ing in their country and that
this has given rise to excite
ment and antipathy."
He added that enemies of
Katanga" helped provoke the
incident to make Senator Dodd
"a friend of Katanga"-be-
lieve the secessioniSt state is
peopled by savages.
Mr.. Tshombe said Indian
U. N. troops here try to make
us feel we Katangans are in
India rather than the other
way about"
He said everything is being
done to find the murderer Of

Non Conforming Enos Keeps Cool
CHIMP MEETS, PRESS

KINDLEY AIR FORCE
BASE, Bermuda, Dec. l (AP).
-Enos, the twice-around-the-
globe chimp, is no lens-hungry
mug like some Of his simian
brothers.
Holding his first public
audience since returning from
outer space. the chimp refused
yesterday to do even a cart
wheel or two as most chimpan-
zees would at the snap OF a
finger given the audience that
greeted him.
Enos was brought to this
United States base in Bermuda
aboard the destroyer Stormes,
which plucked him from the
Atlantic after his historic
journey.
No Monkey Business
Like all dignitaries, he held
a news conference. But there
was no monkey business.
Hes really quite a cool guy
and not the performing type at
ALL" said Capt. Jerry Finneg.
Air Force veterinarian.
Enos showed no outward i'll
effects from his flight, but full
results of the medical checkup
won't be known until after
he returns today to Cape
Canaveral.
Striding up and down in a
private room in Kindley Field
hospital where he spent the
night. Enos looked frisky
enough.
He is back in training on his
space-monkey's diet - $50
banana pellets a day.
Enos will undergo psychology
ical tests at Cape Canaveral.
Aboard the Stormes, which
plucked him from the Atlantic
220 miles off Bermuda after his
flight, Enos was given an added
food bonus of two oranges and
two apples. 1t was the first
non-synthetic food he'd had
since being locked into the cap
suIe at 4:41 am. Wednesday.
Except for a reception COM
mittee of nurses and Air Corps
men, the chimp's arrival at
Bermuda was uneventful and
he carried it off with custo-
mary aplomb, but the barge
carrying his capsule in from
the destroyer had a near tragic
mishap.
Deckhand Injured
1t struck the pier with such
force that a civilian deckhand,
Claude Gibbons of Bermuda,
was knocked overheard. A
quick reversal of the engines
saved him from being smashed
between the barge and the pier.
He wound up in the same hos
pital as Enos with severe bruises
and possible fractured ribs.
While the chimp was getting
rid Of his sea and space legs by
walking up and down in his
hospital room, his capsule was
loaded aboard CHA transport
plane and flown to Cape Ca
naveral.
Despite his reserved exterior,
EnoS proved popular with the
nurses. They Smothered him
with the oohs and ahhs pre-
viously heard only in the hospi- [
tails busy infant nursery. !
Minor Display of Temper
Enos suffered through that ;;
manfully enough and except fori
one minor display of temper .,
even put up with ceaseless pop ,
ping of photographers flash
bulbs which had unhinged the -,
chimp who preceded him into ,
space on a suborbital flight. :
Although he was tuckered out
from gadding about the earth
at speeds of up to 1850 milesI
per hour the chimp in no wayl',
acted like a fellow who had al
great weightleSsness lifted from
his shoulders. AS a matter OIL
fact, according to Capt. Finneg,
he showed no appreciable ,
weight loss after his journey

peared to be in the best Of

Attachments for
Safety Scot Belts

DETROIT, Feb. Is (AP).-
The auto industry is going to
make it easier for you to put
seat belts in your car.
Starting with the 1862
models. all the major domestic
manufacturers will install
safety belt attachments in the
front seats Of all passenger
autos. The anchors will be af-
fixed to the auto frame or SUBJ
frame.
The companies said yester.
day that they will provide uni
form attachments built to in.
dustry-wide specifications tc
provide buyers with an easy,
economical method Of attach
ing seat belts. Previous costs
have run as high as $40 PEI
belt because Of the drilling and
other labor costs. Now the
buyer will only have to pay ad-
ditionally for the belt. Cost
of the anchor is expected to be
minor. Belts alone cost as little
as $3.50.

Pit Ends

HONOLULU, Feb. IS (AP)-
Halemaumau fire pit in the
mighty Kilauea Volcano ceased
erupting late yesterday after
spewing forth q chain Of fiery
lava fountains up to 100 feet
high for eight hours.
The dazzling display ended al
abruptly as 1t began. But vol
canologists were not yet writing
it off.
No one was hurt and no dam
age was reported during the
short-lived eruption In the fire
pit--site Of former awesome
eruptions on the southernmost
Hawaiian island.
The eruption, Kilaueas 10th
since 1918, was confined to the
fire pit and did not pose any
threat to the sparsely populated
neighboring area in Hawaii
National Park.
A string Of half q dozen
fountains spewed red-hot lava
up to 100 feet in the air after q
chunk Of a shelf along the inner
wall Of the pit dropped, leaving
q gaping crevice about mid
way In the 500-foot-deep crater
The collapsing shelf caused @
rift which sent glowing, molten
lava squirting through the
jagged crust Of old. solidified
lava into the new crevice.
Kilauea Volcano, about 4,0OC
feet above sea level on the slopes
Of Matina Lca, is one Of the
largest active VOLCANOES today
Its last outburst was February
