The hundreds of millions
of dollars which are spent for
school lunch and milk dis
tribution programs are pri.
merily a subsidy not to farm
ers but to the children and
their parents. The thousands
of meat and food inspectors
carried on the USDA payroll
are for the protection of
consumers. Conservation pay
ments are long-term invest
ments, often uneconomic for
the individual farmer but
necessary for the protection
of the nations future.
IN the USDA annual budget
is found over a half billion
dollars for rural electrified
ton, rural telephone and
farmers Home Administra-
ton Understanding loans on
which the repayment has been
close to l0G per cent. Other
items, such as the sugar and
wool support programs, are
self-financing, through their
listing in the budget swells
the total by several hundred
million.
Even the cost of feeding
starving pheasants and other
wild life, presumably for hui
name reasons and for the
benefit Of the nations avid
sportsmen, is charged to the
farm program ut might sur
prise and shock some people
that more money is spent

have long recommended that
another very large item in
the USDA budget should be
transferred to other depart
ments; that is, the two billion
dollars and more spent for
the Food for Peace program,
for emergency gifts Of food
for famine relief and surplus
fo0d bartered for strategic de-
tense materials. These pro-
grams, beyond being an ex-
preston of our nations practi-
cal concern for the worlds
hungry, are an essential part
of our foreign policy and
should be charged not to
Agriculture but to either the
State or Defense Department
budget.

these programs from the Agri-

They were driving home
from a regular meeting of
their Old Friends March
ing, ChoWder and KNEW
You-When Society. Everyman
began to chuckle-"That guy
Pete is quite a character. I've
always had a special feeling
for him. Do you want to know
why?"
DUTIFULLY. Everywoman
asked the right question
"Why?"
Her husbands answer sur
prised her into more atten-
tion-"He is the one who in
troduced us to each other
that's why.
She asked, with much more
intereSt-"What's your spe-
cial feeling toward him? Are
you grateful or would you
like to clobber him."
Everyman was more than
a gentleman. He also loved his
wife, so that he had no trou-
bic giving the right answer.
Most couples have thought
about and talked over togeth-
err the details of their court
ship, the moment they became
interested in each other, the
apparently fortuitous chain
of circumstances because of
which they met and by which
they were attracted together.
There were all those little
things which became strong
er and stronger ties, binding
the two together.
THERE WAS probably no
great changing of bells or sud-
den illumination from on
high, which the song writers
like to romance about. Their
call to marriage with this par
ticular person of all others in
the world was seemingly no
call at all at the time; yet
looking back over their lives,
it becomes more obvious that
there was a pattern to it all.

MANY ANTI.coMMUNIsT

MANY ANTECOMMUNIST groups, including
"The All-America Conference to Combat Commun-
ISM" have singled the movie out for praise.
However, unless the usual pattern is reversed, the
movie may not do too well at the box office here.
Many parents call for wholesome movies, and the vocal
anticommunists inveigh against the screen for not
providing positive resistance to the Red menace but
when something like Question 7" comes along, these
groups suddenly fade into the background.
This brings us to the wider question of film enter

THE ADVERTISING in the Columbus papers this
week was particularly offensive and the same is true
in the other cities Of the Diocese.
One movie which openly calls itself abnormal
actually asks drivein theatre-owners to provide uni
formed police to check ages as a gimmick to pander
to the p~erverts.
We wish to commend the owner of the Sunset

conservative patriots to condemn everything that has
happened or is happening. When they wag a finger

ter? We have not been dead during that time, there
fore we have made mistakes. | for one, accept my full
share in the blame for whatever has happened, because
in a government "by the people" no one but the people

MEASURED AGAINST what we have attempted
to do in the last 30 years, it can be reasonably argued
that we have had failures. Measure the Communists in
the same way and it can also be argued that they have
failed by two-thirdS of reaching their goal, namely the
conquest of the world.
The difference is that the Communists never ex-
pected to accomplish their goal overnight, but many
of us, in our impotence, want to get the job done so
we can rest.
Let's look at the record: Thirty years ago we were
in the depths of a great depression. We might we'll
have had a Communist or Fascist revolution, but we
didn't. We might well have thrown our hands up in
despair but we didn't. We might well have lost the

This is not, of course, an
endorsement of limitless sub
sides to farmers, nor of farm
programs that simply will not
work. But if social justice
means anything it demands
that a nation in one way or
another provide adequate
compensation to those who

need that kind of support
from government.
TO CITY taxpayers il looks
like their pockets are being
picked to fill the jeans Of
their country cousins. They
divide the six billion by the
less than four million farms
in the country and envision
the average farmer getting a
81, 500 check each year
through the generosity of the
USDh. And they don't like it.
They like il even less since
they know that the govern
ment has about nine billion
dollars of their tax dollars
tied up in stock piles of un.
used food and fiber. Even if
they have not actually seen
them, they have heard of the
countless barns, bins, caves
and warehouses, as well as
surplus ships, that are bullying
with wheat, corn, cheese, but

handling and storing these
suIpluses is costing something
like a billion dollars a year.
The city taxpayers unhap-

dence that despite years Of
effort and almost countless
billions of dollars the farm
problem seems no closer to

(AP).-Two men were missing
after an explosion demolished
a 30-foot grabbing boat on the
Chesapeake Bay early today.
Another fisherman, Eldridge
Rippons, rescued Lemuel Lewis,

Lewis was floating unconscious
on an empty gas can when MIR.
Rippons found him.
Missing are Leon Lewis, jr.,
20, and Arvie Ruark, 10, also
of Hoopersville, Dorchester
County.
The boy told Mr.. Rippons
that the boat was still burning
when he last saw it. He was
unable at the time to give any
account Of the explosion.
The younger Lewis was not
believed to be injured seriously,
but he was taken to Cambridge

Of II such cases in fiscal 1862

and referred to Municipal
Court. Twenty-three other
cases were listed as having
reached the District Court
level.
Four of the defendants were
committed for mental examina-
ton, charges against % others
were dropped before the cases
reached either court. Still other
cases we're referred to Juvenile
Court.
The study, however, showed
that of the II assault charges
prosecuted at the Municipal
Court level, straight Jail terms
were imposed in only 81 cases.
The terms ranged from 80 days
to six months. Several defend
ants were given jail terms in
lieu of fines. Three were placed
on probation for periods rang
ing from 80 days to one year.
80 Days for Stabbing Officer
In District Court, five of the
% persons listed drew Jail sem
tenoss. The sentences varied
from four to IL months to two
to six years. Four defendants
were given suspended SEN
fences.
Cited in the study was a case
involving a police officer who
was stabbed in the abdomen.
His assailant was sentenced to
80 days in jail.
The average age Of assaulted
policemen was 26 years, the
report said. Interviews with po-
lice officials indicated that Of
ficers are afraid to use the

Also recommended was an
intensification of physical fit
