The strength of American farming
lies in its productivity efficiency, which
contrary to most popular opinion, is
not a curse. Crops in this country are
produced at work output of only two
man days per acre, in contrast to the
worldwide average of 200 man days
per acre and Far Eastern average Of
400 man days.
More and more the cold war is be-
coming an economic war, production
war And in that war, with all its world
wide repercussions, mechanical Amer
lean farming can be one of the most
potent weapons.
That is American farming - and it
Is fortunate that majority of Amer
leans don't know its real definition.

EXPANSION of the social. security

to crack. Experience shows thut in
politics things are advocated that are
unavoidable. Richard Starnes, colum-
mist for the Washington Daily News,
reveals some not very comforting stats
tics on the entire social security set-up.
I'm its first quarter century,, he says,
social security took in $40 billion. 1t
paid out $50 billion of that, and has $50
billion Of government bonds in the kitty.
Against that $50 billion there are obi

of $50 billion"
If you wonder how the social security
system has reached such a pass the
answer is simple. Mr.. Starnes cites a
not unusual case - pensioner who
paid for three years, starting in 1887.
Then he retired. Since then he and his
wife together have drawn $l3,49O in
benefits while their total contributions
to the fund had been $40. But in the case
of young people starting to work cir
cumStanceS are reversed. They can
never hope to take out as much as they
are forced to contribute
There is little justification for fur

On The Move

president John F. Kennedy is on
the move. His stirring State of the
Nation speech Monday showed forth
rightness, action and clarity. Some of
his phrases remind one of the speeches
of Franklin D. Roosevelt If he intended
to jolt the people into action, he did.
We agree with his statement that this
is IAN hour of national peril and ma
tional opportunity" The United States
has been facing these conditions for
many years, possibly not as acutely as
today. Mr.. Eisenhower eight years ago
faced dangerous situation. He took
action without creating an emergency
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Kennedy will
not follow the strategy of Mr.. Roosevelt
in creating public psychology Of en-
Urgency unnecessarily We believe the
people of the United State should be
told the bare truth about domestic and
international situations. We do not be-
lieve the federal government can settle
all of the ills by emergency methods
Certainly Congress must not be stanl-
peded into giving up checks and Balances
and except for some untoward interna-
tional peril should weigh carefully the
legislation needed to improve condi-
tons. Calm, clear, deliberate action
should follow full debate and no blank

Harry F. Byrd, distinguished demo-

of the fiscal problems of the federal
government as any man, does not mince
words, Il am opposed to COM
pulsory medical service and hospital

tenn. | am convinced this would lead to
socialized medicine with the possibility
that it would bankrupt the social secu-
rity trust fund.-

as we can determine no easy solution
is at hand. Political parties attempt
to assist their candidates through vol
untary or political contributions to the
party "war-chest", but in intraparty
primaries the candidates are on their
own, except for voluntary contribution
made by friends, to whom the success
full candidate may feel obligated there
by. In rebuttal it may be said that a
man unable to handle his own affairs
in manner to be able to pay his way
in the campaigns for subordinate of
fees is not capable Of serving the public.
This is not always true We have known
many successful public servants who
have not amassed any considerable
extra money, and a career public servant
often is found in this position
A problem exists, but we do not be-
lieve paying campaign expenses from
the public treasury is way to find a
solution. Politics become more and more
complicated. A subsidy from taxpayers
is no solution.

check given the executive branch. Mon
ey per Sc does not settle problems of
national peril. We have seen this over
a period of years both domestically and
internationally.
1t would be foolhardy to criticize the
general statements of the President in
his first address to the nation. With
many of them we do agree, namely, ma
tional defense strength, food for peace
plan, stability of the American dollar,
increase of industrial output, to mention
a few We do not agree with salving the
nations social woes with more govern
ment paternalism nor controlling the
nations business by circumscribing
laws, nor s tt ing unemployment
through raising minimum wages, to
cite a few. The people of the United
States must conserve their resources,
regain; self-control, return to some
lardships and and self-help. We need
to learn again the lessons our fathers
and forefathers learned through trials
and individual determination. More
paternatism requires more taxes, more
taxes are one step nearer federal gov
eminent domination.

How fast and how far will be deter
mined by the Congress, unless it sur
renders its obligation.

Subsidy For Candidates
CENATOR Mike Mansfield Onion

CENATOR Mike Mansfield Onion
- tana) has introduced a three-part
plan for election reform, including
S.227: "A bill to reimburse political
parties for expenditures in presidential
election campaigns Up to 81 million
would go to each major political party
and up to 100000 to minor parties
whose candidates receive between one
and ten per cent of the votes cast.

The costs of political campaigns are
recognized as one reason why candidates
of means are sought by political parties.
Candidates on the local and state levels
also pay large price in campaign mon

Her husband died in 1927.
Later in life, Grandma's doc

work. She chose as a hobby
the weaving Of pictures out Of
yarn. Eventually, arthritis
made it impossible for her to
hold a needle.
Grandma then turned to
painting. Her first materials
were some discarded paint she
found in barn on her farm
She never took an art lesson.
Her paintings first were eX-
hibited at county fairs. But it
was her jams and preserves
that won prizes, not her art.

Louis Caldor of East Orange
