Small Wheat Grower

Just why "small-farm" wheat
operators are being asked to
register at the Asses County
Office more than Z days in
advance of the 1864 wheat
program referendum was clari-
fled today by Fred Iversen,
chairman of the Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
County committee.
Small FARMS are those with
wheat allotments of less than
Is acres. All growers ON such
a farm will be eligible to vote
in the May 81 referendum if
the operator of the farm indi-
Gates in advance an intention
to participate in the program
as an allotment grower if the
program is approved. This
choice has to be made at the
county office by May IS.
According to the Chairman,
voter eligibility for the 1864
wheat referendum is establish
ed by law, much the same way
as State law provides that vot-
ers be legal residents of the
State, subject to State laws,
and registered to vote at a pre-
scribed time in advance of the
election.
No one is being told how tt
vote, Mr.. Iversen emphasized
The referendum ballot is Sc
cret, and the producer does not
have to declare in advance how
he will vote on the program
The Small-farm operator-like
other wheat growers-may vote
Eyes" or 'no"-as he chooses

I'll Be WITH YOU SHORTLY!

1t there is any doubt in your mind that the
above is not true read what DR.. Willard Cochrane,
Director of Agriculture Economics, USDA had to
say in Farm Quarterly. 1860.
Question asked DR.. Cochrane: "After a few
commodities adopted supply-control do you think
others would be encouraged to follow suit?"
His reply: at would not be a matter of en-
cOuragement; some of them would be forced in. If
you had a control on hogs, for example, and none
on eggs, growers would transfer their corn into
the production of more poultry and more eggs.
The feed resources released from hogs would be
put through chickens to produce eggs; and eggs
happen to be inelastic in demand and in just a little
bit they'd be in real trouble. The feed grain would
also be transferred to beef and beef producers
would feel some pressure"
Look at the penalties they feel necessary to enforce
this so-called voluntary program .
l. The Secretary shall enforce compliance with
allotments and certificates and orders regulating
all handlers including professors and distributors
of wheat.
2. Loss of price support privileges.
3. Producer fines equal to $3.50 of parity times
twice the normal yield of excess acres, unless the
producer establishes actual production.
4. Fines of twice the face value of certificates
involved in violation
5. Fines up to S., 900 for any person, other than
a producer acting in his capacity as a producer, or
anyone who fails to keep proper records and fines
of up to $4,000.
6. Jail sentences of up to ten years or both for
certain types of violations.
Does this sound like a Free America TO you?
Reject the government supply-management
straight jacket and vote NO on May Fl.

A State Fish, the King Salmon, Is In the Offing

JUNEAU R - Rep. C. M. Blink ley, R-Fbks0, got a letter from one of his constituents a week ago and, because of it, Alaska might get state fish.
 The letter was from Robert T. Haynes of the Redwood Motel in College. It said:
 Dear MT. Binkley,
 q am in the second grade at University Park School. In my room 1 saw a map of Alaska. It said Cat the top): state bird Will low Ptarmigan. State flower - Forget Me Not. State fish-none State tree-none. Actually, the legislature designated the Sitka Spruce as the state tree last year.
 "I'd like to give Alaska a state fish I think the fish should be z king salmon because people catch them and smoke them and ca them. Would you tell the legisla ture about this letter?
 "Thank you. Robert T. Haynes
 Binkley told the legislature about it Friday with a bill, HB97 designating the king salmon as the official fish of the state.
 He even threw in the scientific name, oncorhyncus tshawytscha which should make it officia enough for anyone-even Robert.

Lake Superior Nearly
 FrOze Over for First Time

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich R- So far as man knows Lake Su- perior never has frozen over, end to end and side to side. But it is close to that now, and it shortly may close what little gaps of open water that remains.
 US. meteorologist Arthur Myers said Saturday Trans-Canada Air lines pilot flying over the 400-mile- long, 1902 mile-wide lake reported Friday the only open water visible was in scattered patches not more than one to two acres in size. Myers said extremely cold weather, which skidded thermo- meters here to 21 below zero Fri day and below Saturday, is like ly to continue for week and con- ceivably might last two weeks.
 This has been one of Michigan's coldest winters in years.
 we could have complete freeze-over," Myers said. "It has been ice-making weather every day for the last week."
 Myers is asking the Air Force to take pictures this week from an altitude high enough to cover the whole lake - and show it for cer- tain if complete freeze-over develops.

Better Treatment Asked for Gold

Sen. Ernest Gruening last week urged in Senate remarks that the gold mining industry be afforded by our government consideration matching that which has been shown silver. Noting that the In- terior Department has added gold to the list of minerals for which minerals exploration loans may be obtained, the senator said:
 "This is wholly inadequate. What is the use of assistance loans in view of the rigid price and market ing controls? These loans will not permit a single gold mine or gold dredge to resume operations or to continue operations. Is it not about time the Interior Department viewed gold in the same way as it does silver by stressing the in- dustrial aspects rather than the monetary. I think it is high time that the Treasury and the Interior Department got together, noted the plight of this industry, as we'll as our dwindling gold sup ply, and in cooperation with Con- gress seek an equitable solution for our gold mining industry's dis tresS."

RURAL POSTAL STATION

On March 30 rural postal sta tion will start operating at Colo win, Sen. E. L. Bartlett was ad- vised last week by the Post Office Department following representa- tions he made for postal service to the Alaska community.
 "A recent survey shows," De- putty Asst. Postmaster Gen. Hahn wrote Sen. Bartlett, ''that although we cannot justify establishing an independent post office at Golovin, there is sufficient mail volume and patrons to warrant a rural station in the community. This will pro- vide stationary postal facility at convenient location benefitting a population of between 80 to 100, three businesses and school. Full postal service, comparable to that available at small independent post offices, will be provided"

Says Cats Eat Better Than
 Inmates of British Prisons

LONDON R - An indignant British peer says his pet cat eats better than the 5000 inmates of the nations jails and prisons.
 Laborite Lord Stonham, 59, told the House of Lords $2.10 week is spent on prisoners and $1.54 of that goes for food.
 He asked his wife what $1.54 a week for food meant and she "told me she spent that much on shop bought food for our cat," Stonham declared. "The cat also eats some of ours"
 Our prisoners have the lowest standard of living in Europe - a hotentot standard" he said.
 "If you treat people as sub- humans, that is what they are likely to become"
 Lord Dilhorne, spokesman fol the Conservative government, saic the diet scales are fully adequate for health, and great improvement: have been made in recent years ir the preparation and service O. meals.

Finis for "KiSsOmeter"

MIAMI, Fla. R The Uni versity of Miami clamped down Friday on the Kissometer, gad- get designed by electrical engineer ing students to measure the power of a kiss.
 There will be no kissing on the campus, officials ruled, and stu dents may test the machine only with handshakes.
 Three students - Tatiana Pri- lutchi, IS, bouncy brunette; John Woods, 21, and Don Barachak, 21,- made the machine.
 The Kissometer is rigged with flashing lights and ringing bells. The lowest quality kiss flashes a sign that says, Dead Fish" A better smooch will register Wow" and the hottest smacker brings a "Woweee" and rings a bell.
 Tt all depends on what's in- side," said Tatiana. "If you feel all tingly inside, your kiss will show it.'
 The man and woman inside the booth hold an electronically charged probe in their hands. It sends a minute amount of current through their bodies. When their lips meet, the circuit is completed.
 An assistant professor, Gerald German, said the three students learned more about electrical en- gineering from the project than they would have learned from | hours of lectures.

Joe c. Jones, deputy assistant
secretary Of the Air Force for
research and development.
He said he was called by A.
Racusin, another member of
Mr.. zuckert's staff, and went
to Mr.. Jones office in the Pen
tagon. He said the subcommit-
tee would have to ask Mr.. Jones
why the documents were pre-
pared three months after the
signing Of the contract.
Il want to state that ! made
an improvident decision to
concur in these memoranda, ~
Col. Gregory told the subcom-
mittee.
Not an Engineer
Mcclellan: What do you
mean by that2
Gregory: 1t lacked FORE
sight ! did not consider
all that should have been con-
sidered.
Mcclellan: Did you make
this improvident decision when
you were evaluating or when
you concurred?
Gregory: When / concurred
with the documents I state
this because alone I am not
qualified to concur or not to
concur. I am not an aeronau-
tical engineer. nor am I quail
fled to assess technical de-
tails.
Mcclellan: Why, then, were
you called on to concur, If you
were not regarded as an expert
or competent? (Secretary Nc
Namara's questions referred to
Col. Gregory as an expert.
Gregory: Sir. I don't know
why ! was called.
Mcclellan: That is not a
practice, is it, down in the
Defense Department, to call
people to concur and make
statements about a subject
matter that they are not COM
petent to form q decision |
on.
No Pressure
Under questioning by Sena-
tor Muskie. Democrat Of Maine, |
Col. Gregory testified that no
pressure was brought on him
to concur. He also said he
knew the investigation was UNI
der way and that the ferrying
and ordnance carrying capa-
bilities Of the rival designs were |
important in the case. This
exchange followed:
Muskie: SO Notwithstanding
the fact that you appreciated
their Importance you signed
