Says 'Plenty Hay Available"

Area dairymen and beef cattle

drought facts and opinions from
state and local agriculture Of
f.cials, along with a farm credit
manager and banker, at tn e
meeting sponsored by the Prince
Edward Farm Bureau Monday
night in the Prince Edward
county courthouse.
Six specialists answered pre-
pared questions from the Farm
Bureau. as well as other ques-
tons from the audience of
beef producers and dairymen.
Most of the questions dealt with
problems of obtaining quality
hay and grain for cattle at least
possible cost.
W. l.. James. state grain and
bay inspector for the Virginia
Department of Agriculture. adj
vised the buyers to purchase
only Nos | and 2 hay since the
freight rates are the same on
these two highest quality grades
as the lower quality grades No 3
samples.
Il think there is plenty Of
good hay in the country if we
take our time about buying it.
Second cuttings of hay are just
being prepared for shipment
from other states and this is
going to present a rush from
buyers Try to space your or
ders according to needs. rather
than buying all you need at
once. said James. Il think we
have the best quality hay com
ing into the state than in any
previous year. 1t is better to get
straight hay than mixed if you

ATLANTA, Dec. II (AP).-A
manifesto urging civic and re-
ligious leaders to act promptly
to assure equality of rights and
opportunities was issued today
by 275 Atlanta white, Negro,
Protestant, Catholic and Jew
iSh clergymen.
It was made public on the
eve Of q planned Negro march
downtown to protest a delay in
negotiations with white leaders
on several degeneration re-
quests drafted in October.
Dr.. Martin Luther King, Jr.
president Of the Southern
Christian Leadership Confer
ence. was on the program to
deliver the main address.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-15

The spectacular Is all that
interests you" fumed q Vene-
zuelan official before the re-
cent national elections" and
the spectacular distortS the
truth. The press reports from
here concentrate on CaStroite
terrorism, bombing and guerilla
warfare. They make you think
that Venezuela Is on the verge
Of civil war or revolution"
Nothing could be farther
from the truth" he continued,
The terToriSts are q tiny mi
nority and they play on your
headlines to exaggerate their
danger. I wish we could get as
much free publicity for the
land reform, health programs
and economic recovery Of the
past years under democratic
government"
But the main butt of criti-
cism is the United States Con-
gresS.
Sometimes I think that your
politicians are as silly as ours,
said a young Peruvian admins
traitor acidly. They are all
for peaceful revolution down
here. but they forget that any
revolution hurts, and hurts
hard. They preach land, tax,
and education reform to us, but
they cannot take the confusion
and even the excesseS-that
go with real change"
He was speaking in the wake
of the bitter foreign aid debate
here this Fall. Perhaps no other
event in the past two years has
cast more doubt on United
States good intentions south of
the border. Even the most
reasonable Latin Americans
now wonder how firmly the
United States is committed to
the 10-year, $40 billion aid pro-
gram set for the Alliance for
Progress at Punta del Este.
Criticism Irks ChiIeans
The examples of bad faith
seem endless. In october lead
ing newspapers In Santiago,
Chile's copper, and account for
Chilean copper from a speech
on foreign private investment
by Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon. He bitterly complained
against excessive Chilean taxa
ton and control of the North
American-owned copper mines.
and demanded a cutoff In
United States aid until "condi-
tions" to attract private capital
were established.
These remarks undoubtedly
were pleasing to North Ameri-
can ears, but in Chile they
caused a Juror.
Private United States COM
panies produce 80 per cent of
Chile's copper, and account Of
so per cent Of Chilean foreign
income. In a word, foreigners
are the mainstay Of the Chill
can economy. Furthermore
Chile received the largest
chunk Of US. aid in all Latin
America during the last fiscal
year-$135.3 million. To highly
nationalistic Chileans, there
fore, the Morse remarks looked
suspiciously like an official
United States power play to
blackmail Chile for the benefit
Of the private copper compan-
les.
Fishing Amendment FurOre
Only a few weeks later an
other shock came to Chile, and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-15
Backers Say Alliance Is in Danger

this time it spread to Ecuador
and Peru as well. The Senate
passed a fishing amendment"
to the foreign aid authorize
ton. cutting off all aid to ma
tons interfering with United
States fishing vessels beyond
coastal limits recognized by the
United States. The measure
obviously was aimed at legis-
lating protection for private
United States tuna and other
fishers in their running feud
with these three countries on
the west coast of South Amer
lea.
The next blow. this time for
Argentina and Peru, was the
new "Hickenlooper Amend
ment" proposed by Senator
Hickenlooper. Republican OF
Iowa. to cut off all aid to
countries which cancel con-
tracts with United States COM
panies without offering i'm
mediate compensation. The
amendment exploded like a
bombshell in the disputes both
Argentina and Peru were hav-
ing with large foreign oil COM
panies. 1t was also ignored in
the subsequent decisions Of
both countries to cancel for
eign control over their oil ex-
ploitation.
What Infatuated all these
countries about the amend
ments was what they termed
the blatant assumption that
dollar-aid could be. used to
blackmail them into preserv-
ing private North American
interests. The Latins rebelled
against the implication that
they would only find an equi-
table solution to their private
disputes If the aid stick were
held over their head.
