1864 program
on crop loans
is explained

Farmers should be able to OBJ
tam their loans more promptly
under the 1864 price supports
programs, Orville E. Bostlck,
Chairman OF the Mississippi Ag-
|ricultural Sterilization and con-
servation State Committee, said
today. New operating proceed
ures under the programs will ap-
ply particularly to farm stored
commodity loans; they are in
tended to simplify the program
and make it more effective and
less costly.
The chairman explained that
under previous conditions it some
umes took considerable time for
a producer to obtain his farm
stored commodity loan funds due
to the required exact measure
ments of quantity and determl-
nation o Equality factors. In 1864,
however, administrative instruc-
tons will be held to a minimum
and farmer-committeemen will
have more responsibility in the
local administration of the pro-
grams. Community committee
men may handle applications and
collateral : inspection duties.
Under the new procedure, price
support may be required by fill
ing an application and paying a
nominal fee, which is not re-
|fundable. The ASCS county Off
ce representative and the produc-
er will then jointly confirm the
existence and apparest condition
of the farm stored commodity.
Together they can develop a
quantity estimate to which a
reasonable safety factor will be
applied.
On warehouse storage loans, as
in the past, the producer will
put up his warehouse receipt as
collateral. The price support loan
rate then will be based on the
settlement value of the quality
offered. The quantity eligible will
be that shown on the receipt.
Disbursements will be made by
the ASCS county offices using a
|CCC loan draft designed so a
bank may hold it as an interest
bearing certificate. If the pro-
Queer redeems his crop, no SER

Presidents Fronkness on Cuba
Reflects Countrymen's Concern

not the man Of peace and
peaceful co-existence he has
professed to be. If he is on
the level in the Cuban affair,
he now has a dramatic OPP
portunity to prove it.
The crux Of the whole dis
pute is not whether missiles
remain in Cuba that could be
used extensively, but why the
Soviets keep 1900 troops
and technicians there with
tanks and other armament.
The real point is the fear
in the United States that
the Russians have acquired
a permanent military base
next door to this country
and are establishing the first
colony in the Western Hemi-
sphere that any European
government has founded
since the Monroe Doctrine
was proclaimed in 1923.
These are not partisan
matters. Democrats as we'll
as Republicans have been
prodding the President for
more information. The result
has been constructive. For
Mr.. Kennedy now has re-
solutely begun to press for
a Qualification Of purpose
from Mr.. Khrushchev.
Apart from all the photo
graphic proofs of dismantled
bases and all the talk about
offensive" and defensive"
weapons, 1t is realistic to note
that photos cannot be made
from the air at night or in
bad weather, and that at any
moment an irresponsible
Castro can shoot down our
planes. But nobody should
be under any illusion that
President Kennedy himself
hasn't thought about this.
When the President was
asked at his news conference
whether defensive weapons
fired from a patrol boat
Komar missiles, for instance
could become offensive, he
answered in the negative,
and then added:
IF there is going to be
that kind of an attack on the
United States. then you're
going to have an attack from
places other than Cuba, and
you're going to have them
with much larger weapons
than a Komar torpedo boat

DAVID LAWRENCE

What size army needs IT,
600 weapons instructors?
This is the latest question
raised as a result Of Premier
Khrushchev's comment in
connection with the presence
in Cuba of Soviet troops and
technicians who are familiar
with the most advanced types
Of armament in a nuclear
age. What objective can
such a military operation
have except to participate in
revolutions throughout Latin
America?
Certainly these queries be-
come more pertinent than
ever now that the Soviet
Premier attempted over the
week end to belittle the mil
itary aid he is giving the
Castro regime. But Mr..
Khrushchev is not fooling
President Kennedy.
There was something in the
Presidents voice, for in
stance, in his earnestness Of
expression for a few brief
minutes during his last news
conference, that tells more
about the Cuban crisis than
al! the words of the trans
script and the two-hour ex-
planation on television by
the Defense Department.
For Mr.. Kennedy handled
himself with a frankness that
reflected the serious concern
of his countrymen. If Pre-
mier Khrushchev reads the
Presidents words carefully,
he will find that the United
States has not retreated, has
not dropped its guard, and is
not afraid to take the major
steps that may become neces-
sary If any deception of act
or purpose should be proved.
Nor should those members
Of Congress who have
brought matters to a head in
the debate over offensive"
or defensive" weapons re-
naming in Cuba be brushed
aside as irresponsible critics.
For they have performed a
constructive service. They
have let Mr.. Khrushchev
know that President Kennedy
is being questioned by the
public opinion of his own
country, which remains sus-
picious. If the Soviet Premier
doesn't take the hint, he is

talking about the willingness
OF the Soviet Union to begin

Moscow may perceive in
these lines an opportunity to
