Farmers Bar
Stiff Controls
Over Wheat
Heavy Vote Deals
Singing Defect
To Administration
BY OVID A. MARTIN
Associated Press Staff Writer

Wheat growers have voted
strongly against Stricter con-
trolls on their crops, Gaping
the biggest campaign ever
waged In the American farm
lands with a stinging defeat
for the Kennedy administration
and its farm policies.
The administration had
thrown its prestige and Strength
behind its program in q battle
against farm groups demanding
less rather than more Govern
ment in agriculture.
Agriculture Secretary Free
man had predicted defeat of
the plan would result In cha
otto" wheat market conditions.
Kennedy Hopeful
In a four sentence statement,
President Kennedy said I'VE
accept this judgment" and ex-
pressed the hope that it would
be a wise choice for wheat
farmers and the country.
His statement said:
Yesterday the producers of
wheat, one Of the many farm
commodities, participated in
an election without parallel In
the world. In no other coun-
tries do wheat producers have
the opportunity to vote on the
kind Of a program they will
operate under. Wheat farmers
In this instance voted for the
right to produce whatever they
desire in 1864, for whatever the
market will pay, rather than
for higher prices and limited
production.
I'VE accept this judgment
and it is my sincere hope that
this will prove to be a wise
choice for wheat farmers and
for the country"
Freeman Comments
In an earlier statement Mr..
Freeman indicated the alterna-
tive program OF no acreage con-
trolls and price supports, or re-
duced support prices for those
who voluntarily cut production,
will remain in effect through
the l963-64 crop season.
He said the referendum
showed this to be the prefer
ence Of the farmers and their
point Of view deserved "a full
and fair trial." II it doesn't
work to maintain farm income
and avoid excessive over-pro-
duction, a new referendum will
be held next year. he said.
Senator Ellender. Democrat
Of Louisiana, chairman OF the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
said he would do all in his
power to prevent any further
wheat legislation this session.
Democracy has spoken and
the wheat farmers have voted
themselves out Of a program"

peared at his apartment window
to bless a crowd Of $4,000 in
st. Peters Square below.
The Vatican press office ex-
planned in a statement that
Pope John was following the
suggestion of his doctor" in
limiting himself to blessing the
crowd in the square.
Vatican sources said the Pope
planned to appear at his win
dow again tomorrow to recite
the noon Angelus prayer.
Voice Is Vibrant
The Pope stood at the third
floor window about three min
utes. Seen through binoculars,
he appeared very pale. But his
voice, carried through micro
phones, was vibrant and strong
as he gave his blessing. He
paused twice to clear his
throat.
An informed source said DR..
Pietro Valdoni, a leading Rome
surgeon, had remained at the
Vatican through the night.
The cancellation Of the
audience was the first since
last November, when the Pope
became gravely Ill. The Vatican
announced then that the Pope
was suffering from a stomach
disorder and anemia. but there
have been persistent uncon-
firmed reports that he has
stomach cancer or an ulcer.
During the winter the Pontiff
appeared to recover and re-
sumed his busy schedule. But

Alabama Governor to Bar
Negroes Despite Court
College Ban
Is Pledged
ByWuIIoce

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May %
(AP). Gov. George C. Wallace,
thrusting State sovereignty
into the path of Federal author
ity, has set out to block court
ordered desegregation Of the
University of Alabama.
The Governor laid his con-
stitutional authority on the
line yesterday after the univer-
sity board of trustees had
agreed to admit two Negroes
and United States District
Judge H. Hobart Grooms re-
fused to delay the June 10 en-
rollment.
Il embody the sovereignty OF
this State" declared Gov. WAL
lace, a veteran of battles with
the Federal Government, land
I will be present to bar the
entrance of any Negro who
seeks to enroll at the univer-
Sity. ;"
Same Course as Barnett's
Thus, Gov. Wallace embarked
upon the same course followed
last fall by Gov. Ross Barnett
of Mississippi, who greeted
Negro James H. Meredith with
an interposition statute and
barred him fom the University
of Mississippi. Mr.. Meredith
later enrolled behind Federal
forces.
Attorney General Richmond
Flowers, a political foe of Gov.
Wallace's, warned that defiance
Of Federal court orders may
lead to violence. He said those
who defy such orders may be
to blame If Federal troops are
used in Alabama rs they were
in Mississippi.
A university trustee, Brewer
Dixon Of Talladega, Ala, said
he admired Gov. Wallace for
sticking to his convictions and
sympathized with him.
Legal Meals Exhausted
"But we have exhausted our
legal means" Mr.. Dixon said.
The trustees have no control
over Wallace. The university is
our responsibility. But beyond
that we are not law enforce
ment officers"
A sampling Of sentiment of
students and faculty members
at the university campus at
Tuscaloosa indicates that while
white students may not like
the idea, they are willing to
accept Negro classmates peace
fully.
This would be in contrast to
the rioting which erupted al
most seven years ago when Au-
Uterine Lucy. a Negro, was adj
mitted to the university under
Federal court orders. She later
was expelled for making un-
proved statements accusing
school officials Of conspiring
with the mob.
Birmingham Quiet
on other fronts:
/. The simmering Birming-
ham racial situation remained
quiet as 5000 Federal troops
stood by at military bases and
more than 1900 State, county
and city law enforcement of
ficers kept watch over q 28-
block area where rioting broke
out May IL.
2. The Birmingham school
board reversed itself and began
hearing grievances of the 1881
Negro pupils 1t expelled or
suspended Monday for partici-
pating in racial demonstrations.
Such hearings we're one Of the
demands made by attorneys for
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
in seeking a Federal injunction
to force reinstatement of the
pupils. A hearing was sched-
uled today on the injunction
petition.
Gov. Wallace did not cite
specific laws In announcing
that he would act as "the
highest constitutional officer"

According to figures from W.

These figures were taken from

Reopening OF
College Studied
In Blackstone

The future of Blackstone Col
lege. closed since 1850, looks
bright following several days of
study recently by a team of
educators. The team supported
the proposed reopening and
said there is sufficient enroll
ment potential to warrant the
schools reopening.
Heading the group of edu-
Gators was DR.. C. C. Colvert,
dean of the school of education
at the University of Texas. He
was assisted by DR.. Thomas
Colling. president of LouiSburg
North Carolina Junior College.
The consultants met with an
exploratory committee investi-
eating the possibility of reopen
ing the college and with an
executive committee of the col
lege's board of managers. In
their report, the team said that
approximately $500, 900 would be
needed for building improve
ments and equipment.
Not Top Is Per Cent
The three coEsultants said that
II reactivated, the college should
aim at appealing to those stu
dents not in the top Is per cent
OF graduating seniors. They said
that good college material, stu
dents who need the oppor-
tunity to be Awakened" were
In the group below the top Is
per cent of graduating classes.
No action was taken on the
consultants' report, Del. L. H.
Irby, chairman OF the executive
committee, said that the pro-
posal is still very much in the
formative stage"
A report of the groups is to
be presented to the Commission
on Higher Education of the Vir-
GINA Methodist Conference in
May by DR.. C. Ralph Arthur,
president of Ferrum Junior Col
lege, and chairman of the ex-
ploratory committee.
300-5W Enrolment
The $500, 900 would be needed
to put the buildings in shape for
a first class junior college"
the cOnsultants said. They said
the college should aim at an en-
rollment of 300-5OO students, CO
educationa.. Among their recon-
mendations were a new heating
plant, laboratory equipment and
extensive remodehng of some of
the buildings.

sent a check for 81, 500 this week

The Virginia Council of Higher
EducatiOn has said that il ar.
pears the time is ripe for the
opening of the college in
Blackstone. They advised, how
ever, that the reopening not be
undertaken without a sound pro-
gram of financial support and
development.

Parable Of
The Ants

A fair summation of the PreSi-
dents expressed attitude to-
wards Cuba, it seems to me,
might be put in these words:
The Administration would like to
destroy Castro's Communist in
stallation but it is afraid OF
the consequences; it is afraid
of Khrushchev's reaction. There
fore. the Administration is 60
ing to do nothing Of an overt ma
ture.
At his press conference, last
week, the President was asked
what he was doing about pinch
ing off trade with Castro. He
replied by saving he was trying
to persuade other nations not TO
do business with him. He did
not say what success he has
had. but the answer to that
seems evident; very little. Cast
to is getting all the goods he
can pay for. and then some. The
fruits of blacklnail, for instance.
Other nations continue th> Il
trade with Cuba because they
have as is the cynical way of
sovereign powers - taken our
measure. They know there is
truth in the Red China charge
America has become a paper
tiger. grown afraid to resist min
or lnfl'igementS and whether it
will resist maojr arrangements
has yet to be seen They know
| this AS consequence, they
pay our importunings lip service
and go on doing business in the
same old way: if we are not
prepared to be firm, why should
they suffer from our infIrn-
tiles?
And so the Presidents incf-
fectual persuasion goes on,
and so does Castro, - on and
on. Into Cuba 90 the little men
from Brazil and Venezuela; in
they go from Peru, Chile and
Bolivia; and out they come,
loaded to the eun'nelS with Com
munlst propaganda and the fin
est Communist arms, both for
dissemination to the red-eyed
malcontents OF South America
| One day the repercussions
