spokesman for the group, said
the invitation was extended
Wednesday by Danville civil

Mr.. Muntz said that in addi-
ton to the stable Bannock-
burn group, two carloads of
Arlington, Va, residents have
made arrangements to join the
motorcade and that several
Montgomery County residents
outside Bannockburn have in
dictated their interest.

for the visit is because we're
interested and concerned"
about racial strife in Danville
and "thiS provides an oppor-
tunity for us to see with our
own eyes what has already
been described to U.S."
The friendship between the
two communities came about
through the visit of one Be-

the questions were much the same.

turned to the statements from the

as appeared in the written questions.
There were questions from the

wheat farmers are not really in favor

Farm Credit Official Says
Land Prices Rise Too High

SAN FRANCISCO-(CNS)-Farn
land prices have advanced to point
where the rate of return ON the price
asked for most farms, after deduct
ing living costs of the owner-operator,
is less than the average farm mort
gage interest rate, according to Don
III. Bushnell, deputy governor and di-
rector of Land Bank Service for the
Farm Credit Administration.
Contributing to this situation is
the fact that advancing land prices
have brought higher real estate taxes,
he said, comforting here with presi-
dents of the nations IL federal land
banks.
The greatest Closer from initiation
in sale prices, according to Bushnell,
is the young fellow trying to break
into farming. Gwen if he finds a
lender who will finance him ON a
small down-payment basis, the odds
on his being able to carry his debt
from farm earnings are stacked
against him."
With loans of 1872 billion out
the IL privately financed
banks hold about one-fifth of the ma
tion's farm mortgage loans.

But few, if any, have taken the
obvious opportunity to ID raise
wages or (2), lower the prices o1
their products, so the public can buy
more of the latter.
The cash flow allows them to cad
minister" prices more rigidly than
ever before-to tell the public in
effect to take it or leave it, TO pay
their price or go without. Thus they
cut off millions of prospective Gus
toners.
The prospect of using leash flow
to raise wages is so dismaying in
particular that McGraw-Hill, the big
gest business-p publishing firm, recent
ly addressed double-page ads to or
ganized labor, imploring it not to try
to get part of the cash flow. To do
SO, the plea said, would be to "kll

And other big-business spokesman
point to profits, still plentiful, but
cut down by diversion to tax-free
scash flow, and insist that profit
taxes are still strangling business.
Also they spend much tfcash flow

MONEY is IN THE
WRONG POCKET

Most produce more than they car
| sell. The money is in the wrong peck
ets-those of corporations rather than
consumers. U. S. industry is running
far below capacity due to the public
inability to buy what industry can put
out - hence, continuing unemploy-
ment.
So the companies shift their mon
ster flow of funds into other things.
I'm 1857, the JOURNAL shows, COM
panies kept $28 billions in tax-free
earnings and allowances for deprecia-
tion and amortization-that is, for
new facilities. In 1862, they kept
1888 billions.
But OUTLAWS by all industry for
plant and equipment in 1862 were
exactly the same as in 1857. So last
year, they kept $7.3 billions more
than in 1857.
This increasing sfcash flow" is be-
ing used in many ways, such as re-
ducing debt, buying up the company's
own stock, or expanding. But there
is so much of it that they're desperate,
and are putting more and more into
buying up other companies, and ex-
banding into other industries than
heir own.

ion' tax-break through which they
Jay only about half the rate of fed

IIICOIuo taxes.
The whole thing is bookkeeping
Much of what used to be called profit,
subject to the federal tax, is now
"cash-flow'', set aside tax-free by
benevolent federal rulings, either adj
ministrative or by Congress. And the
purpose is to help companies build
new production facilities.
In actual fact, they can't use enough
such facilities to spend all this cash,
and so are swamped by their money.
The WALL STREET JOURNAL,
organ of Big Business, reports that
Detroit jokesters say General Motors
is Saving UP to buy the federal gov

This one company has $2.3 billions
piled UP in cash and marketable Sc
curities, an amount bigger than the
assessed valuations of any 10 U. S.
states. .s
For example, the company could
buy Minnesota ait the latter's assessed
valuation of $2,261, OOO,OOO; or settle
for Utah ($1,344, OOO,0o0) plus South
Carolina ($824, 0OO,O0O)
The JOURNAL wrote that "many
other companies are profiting hand
somely" from a similar pile-up of
cash-so that one company president
saws he hardly knows whether he is

have little or nothing to do? Far from
it, Attorney Lester P. Schoene told
the arbitration board which has begun
hearings in the work rules dispute be-
tween the Operating unions and

He listed just some of the many
firemen's duties including these:
/. Maintain lookout ON left side
of the cab for wayside signals, OBJ
structions and people, and to warn
engineers of impending danger.
2. Observe hand signals given by
ground crew and relay them to the
engineer when ground crew finds it
necessary to work within view of
the fireman's side of the engine.
8. Maintain and restore locomotive
power through periodic patrol of
diesel units, make temporary repairs
to get train over the road, respond to
engine room warming alarms and SUI
pervise mechanical and electrical
functioning of locomotive units.
a. Aid in executing train orders

duties.

comes fatigued or disabled.

Public Backs
CCC-Type
Youth Camps
BY GEORGE GALLUP, In

PRINCETON, N. Jew issues ir
polling history have received such
overwhelming support of the Ameri-
can public as has the proposal for
modern-day CCC camps-modeled
after those established by the Roose-
Welt Administration in the 1905.
Nearly out of 10 persons inter
viewed in a nationwide Gallup poll
say they think such camps-enabling
young men to learn trade and earn
money by outdoor work-would be a
good idea.
In the proposed Youth Conserva-
tion Corps, young men between the
ages of 16 and % could earn money
through participation in federal con-
servation programs.
The Hometown Corps, which
would be open to both young men
and women, would provide work ex-
perience and increase employability
through work on state or local prof.
ects.
To get the public's views on the
principle of the youth camps, Gallup
poll interviewers put the following
question Ito a representative sample
of 1858 adults from coast to coast:
'1t is proposed that the federal
government set up youth camps
such as the CCC camps of the Thirties |
for young men who want to learn
a trade and earn a little money by |

plant this year on the basis of this
sale, which he sees as a tone shot
affair.
He said the market would be
strengthened this year because of
the sale, and the taxpayers would be
saved about 5000 million in storage
costs.
At the press conference he was
asked if the reason for the Russian
predicament was inefficient farm
ing. Freeman said Russian farming
is very inefficient, but this was not
the reason they had to buy such large
quantities this year. He said it was
the weather; that everything in the
way of weather that could be dealt
Russian farmers had come their way,
plus four previous thin crop years.
There were those who were con-
cerned that feeding hungry Russians
might be aiding and abetting the
enemy. At the press conference he
was asked if some people might not
compare the wheat sale to Russia to
the sale of scrap metal to Japan.
Freeman said he did not think
the comparison was very valid.
"You do not eat steel or shoot
wheat, he said, adding There
are people who will say this, but a
more realistic appraisal is that gold
used to feed people is gold that
will not be used to build missiles.

pressed at the moment.

He told them that Congress was
completely disenchanted with trying
to pass a farm program after having
spent so much time on the last one,
only to be turned down by the farm
ers themselves. He pointed out that
80 years ago farmers could expect
to deal with majority of congress
men with large rural constituencies,
but that today there are about 800
of the 43O members without major
farm producing interest in their dis
trict and "an urban Congress will
not be united by divided agricul-
ture, or an agriculture not attuned to
the rest of the economy. He said
