Fiscal 1862 q
Good Beginning

WASHINGTON, D. -C.-(NFU)-
The Department of Agriculture has
just come out with it's annual report
for the fiscal year of 1862, which
ended June 3d.
There is still a lot of work to be
done, but the report shows that last
year was a good step in the right
direction. The report showed that DUR
ing the year:
Farm income increased by Sill
billion.
Food prices remained relatively
stable and less of our income was
spent for food than ever before.
Farm assets showed a good gain,
from $500 billion to $2O7 billion.
For the first time in eight years,
surplus corn stocks decreased-by an
estimated. 400 million bushels.
Agricultural exports hit new
record of $5.1 billion during fiscal
1862 lending June 30), compared to
$40 billion in 1861 and $4.5 billion
in 1860.
Rural credit loans reached a
record of $637 million in fiscal 1862
81 % more than in 1861 and 1860
more than in 1860.
The year also saw great expan-
sion in Food for Peace programs;
more rural power; great expansion
in Rural Areas Development pro-
grams; more federal crop insurance;
expanded school lunch and special
milk programs at home and abroad;
widespread and successful use of the
food stamp program, expanded con-
programs and growth of
experimental and educational pro-
grams.

Four Steps Imperative
To Attain World Peace

Editor The Peoples Voice:
Hugh B. Hester (Brig. Gen., u S. A.
Retired) has this to say. AS long as a
single thermonuclear bomb remains in
the hands of any sovereign state the
security of all will be threatened. And
aus long as any nation, with the will
to drop the bomb remains free to use
it's knowledge of how to make and
drop it, the safety of the world will
remain in doubt.
General Hester has four steps for
world peace that are as follows:
First: 1t will be necessary for the
leaders to denounce war as a viable
instrument of national policy, and sub
stitute for it the concept of "a world
without war;. This means more than
complete general disarmament, for the
knowledge of how to produce these
weapons will still remain. 1t will be
necessary to establish world laws, Il
court to interpret these laws and power
to enforce the courts Interpretation
of them.
Second: 1t will be necessary to de-
stroy the monster myth created by ma
tional propaganda. Stated somewhat
differently: the struggle is not be-
tween freedom and tyranny; between
democracy and totalitarianism; or be-
tween free enterprise and planned
economy.
Elements of these exist side by side
in every society, just as good and evil
are combined in every individual. On
balance, there is probably not much

Unpopular with Congress

ing on Congress legislative

Of the blame belongs on the
Kennedy administration.
The cause for the failure
Of the Kennedy legislative pro-
gram is a simple one-it is not
popular with the American
people and it is not popular
with Congress"
In that connection, a ques-
ton arises:
Is there a great demand, a
compelling call, throughout the
United States for some Of. the
legislation the President has
requested?
The proposed Department of
Urban Affairs. for example.
G. o. P. Representative Lindsay
says he voted "yes" on this
because there is chaos in the
conditions Of many cities" But
he comedies that it is too COM
plicated (or sophisticated an
issue for the man on the street
to have strong feelings about.
Similarly with Federal aid to
education. Mr.. Ribicoff, before
he resigned as Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare,
said Americans like to think
that they believe wholeheart-
eddy in schools and the whole
educational process.
I'VE don't have the commit
ment to education, though,
that we like to think" he said

Senator Goldwater, Republi-

consistent patterns in this ad-

one.

not dominating Congress. In

In the White House, how
ever. Mr.. Kennedy is his own
chief of staff. There is no "as-
sistant President" who filters
the enormous mass of business
and gives priority to the prob
lens.
He delegates authority wide
~. But he keeps a string on
much of the major business
and tends to follow through
himself. Ralph A. DUNCAN, Spe-
cial assistant at the White
House, recalls that "he phoned
me at home one night-it was
about 10:45-to ask about a
small detail of something we
had in the works" Members of
the Cabinet give similar re-
ports.

around 1880, with breakfast
and a stack of newspapers in
bed. He soaks up an incredible
amount of news, editorial COM

Maine Avenue May Get
Statue of Lobstermon

What Maine avenue needs to
give it an appropriately salty
flavor, the House of Repre-
sentatives decided yesterday, is
a statue.
And as luck would have it,
just the right statue is avail
able: A bigger-than-life-s sized
depletion of a Maine lobster
man holding a prize specimen
of the toothsome crustacean.
The statue now gSaces a fish
hatchery at Boothbay Harbor,
Me-, but under a resolution ap-
proved by the House it will be
shipped to Washington for
erection on a suitable spot
along the Southwest waterfront.
Maine Lobsterman," as the
sculpture is called, stands 102
inches tall, on a base Al by 80
inches. 1t was in the lobby Of
Portland's City Hall before it
was moved to the fish hatchery
some time ago.

passed - whether deliberately
or not - at a time when the
