On Tuesday Carvel also con-

The governors proclamation
to the heads of all state agencies
reads:
Whereas, the events of the
storm disaster which stuck our
coastal areas In March, 1862,
demonstrated the clear need for
a state official to coordinate
activities of our state agencies
and to represent our state In
matters involving the Office of
Emergency Planning of the fed
eral government In time of dis
aster; and
"Whereas, careful, intelligent
planning is needed to develop
the machinery for dealing with
all types of disasters which may
beset our state, and
'Whereas, the Cuban crisis
brought about by the buildup
of offensive weapons by Com
munist forces further empha-
sizes the need for special plan
ming In Delaware to provide
for any future emergencies
which may arise, and
"Whereas, the secretary of
state, the Hon. Elisha G. Dukes,
because of his effective and
efficient handling of the recent
position of coordinator of
disaster recovery and rehabil-
itation has clearly demonstrat-
ed his competency In this field;
''Now therefore, |. Ebert N.
Carysl, by girtrc Of III. auth
ority vested In me as governor
of Delaware, do hereby order
that the office of State Emer-
gency Planning Director be
created and that the Hon. Elisha
c. Dukes be hereby appointed
as the emergency planning dir
ector for the state of Delaware.
"All actions of state depart
ments and agencies related to

Secretary of Agriculture Or
Vile L. Freeman told a gath
ering of Kent County Demo-
Gratis Monday evening in Dover.
president Kennedy and |
have long advocated intensive
stockpiling of processed foods
and wheat at key locations to
assure an. adequate supply of
food for our people In event of
a national emergency" Free
man told Democrats at a Kent
County Embarrassing dinner In
the Dover School cafeteria at
tended by over 400 persons.
''But," he continued, ''the
Congress, which is Democratic
In name only, has constantly
used Republican-Southern
coalition to thwart our progress
sive recommendations for the
national welfare.
He conceded that the ma
tion could survive "for many
months" with stored food now
available.
Praising the nation's pro-
gram of distributing food to
needy people overseas, the sec
retary commented:
"For hungry people, bread
and rice on the table are more
important than missiles in the
sky"
He called our farm produc-
tion "America's single greatest
success story" and added that,
while some may question our
achievements In space and sci
ence, mo one, nowhere In the
world, questions the fact that
American agriculture is over
whelmingly superior to that of
any other nation.
Backing this up, he said one
farmer can feed 27 Americans
while the Soviet Union re-
quires one farmer for every six
residents. Overall, he said 8per
cent of our population is en-
gagged in growing, processing
and distributing food while the
figure is AS per cent In Russia.
He said this would undoubt-
edly be factor in our favor In
any clash of arms.
The Secretary also told his
rural audience that 1t is a
strange paradox that the farm
er, who has been so success
full in increasing production
while cutting costs, has been
deprived ''by faulty policies
from acquiring his just share
of the national wealth."
''From 1852 to 1861" Free
man said, 1--WE had a picture of
falling farm income and climb
ing food surpluses."
"We've increased the sup
port price on soybeans, for in
stance, from $l.83 a bushel
to $3.50, hardly a drastic move
since they're selling for $3.63
a bushel on the exchange.
Freeman said $400 million
more went to the farmers of
the country last year alone be-
cause of administration actions
which cost the taxpayers MOTH
ing while benefiting farmers.
He praised President Ken
nedy as humanitarian.
''His first executive order
after assuming the presiden-
cy," Freeman said, twas to
tell me to distribute surplus
food to the needy of the nation
and to do it generously and
broadly"
"As a result, two million
more Americans than preW-
ously are receiving free food
annually" Freeman told the
Democrats.
Freeman was over two hours
late arriving for his talk be-
cause of the cabinet meeting
called late Monday afternoon
concerning the Cuban crisis.
Before his talk the secre-
tary joined equally solemn
Dover Air Force Base person
mel on his arrival by plane to
watch President Kennedy on tel
evision announce the US. block
