partment Of Agriculture au-
thority to cancel the services of

judgment, such cancellation is

Agriculture's answer-"No

volved in any manner"
1t was asserted that this
ANPA objection was based on q
misinterpretation Of a Market
ing Service statement written
in such a capsule form that 1t
did not spell out the cancella-
ton provision. The statement
was intended d to cover two
kinds Of situations, it was ex-
planned.
One would reserve the right
to cancel service to an indiVi-
dual subscriber II he should is
sue false or fraudulent reports
which he designated as a Fed
eral-State market news report.
The second was that the Agri-
culture Department reserved
the right to cancel the news
service in its entirety e If at
should turn out to be detrimen-
tai to the best interests of agri-
cultural producers as a whole. ]"
Argum emit No. 4-"Future
expansion of this service-as
indicated in q Department of
Agriculture background men,
orandum - could easily lead
to a complete national news

basis for this sweeping charge
is so vague that 1t is difficult to
give a meaningful c o m m e n t.
The USDA is not engaged, or
authorized to engage, in the op-
Grafton Of a complete national
news wire"
Argument No. 5-"The an
nounced plan has monopolistic

whether Congress raises Its
own pay.
The pay situation looks con-
siderably more favorable than
it did several months ago. But
timing will play an important
role in the outcome. The fate
of income e tax cut and civil
rights legislation could affect
the outcome on Federal salar-
les.
Time Is Important
If Congress stays in session
long enough-into December
there would be time enough to
act on pay raise legislation. But
II civil rights and tax legisla-
ton become ensna arled and
Congress goes home earlier and
delays these things until next
year, pay raise legislation coulG
also be shunte d aside until
1864.
The brightest spot in the sit
uation is that most members of
Congress are anxious to raise
their own pay, If 1t can be done
without too much adverse pub
licity in the form of an omni-
bus general Government pay
raise bill, They know that II
they don't raise their own pay
this year, they will have to wait
two more years. So the senti-
ment is there If 1t can possibly
be done.

BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star staff Writer

The Kennedy administration,
which has been accused in the
past of seeking to manage the
news, has come under fire from
a number of American newspa-
pers for what have been inter-
preted as new invasions In the
information field.
Despite administration dis
Chalmers, fears are being ex-
pressed by the American News
paper Publishers Association
and alarms sounded by indivi-
dual editors across the country
that two Government actions
in recent weeks may be the
forerunners of the establish
rlent of a national news agen-
cy.
One was the opening under
Secretary of Agriculture Free
mans direction of a new mar
keting wire service in competi-
ton with a private service. The
other was President Kennedy's
August 81 executive order esta-
blishing a unified government
communications network which
will be called the National !
Communications System.
Taking note Of both these
developments, the ANPA has
warned Its members that when
the Agriculture wires are uni
fled with those of other depart
ments and agencies, 1T is then
a short step to a national news
agency Of the type which exists
in some countries, including
Russia's Tass."
New Banking Journal
A third source of alarm has
been the appearance under the
direction of Comptroller of the
Currency James J. Saxon of
the National Banking Review,
a new quarterly journal of
banking and monetary affairs.
AS 1t did with charges of
trying to manage the news. the
administration has been quick
to deny it has any intention of
m owing into the news and
magazine fields, and especially
Of setting up a national news
service. 1T just isn't So" an
administration spokesman said.
The Agriculture Department
contends its new wire service is
merely another step in the COL
lection and dissemination of
marketing news, something 1t
has been doing since 1915.
A White House spokesman
termed the proposed National
Communications System only
an internal arrangement for
handling Government messag-
eS.
The office of the Comptroller
of the Currency defended the
establishment of the new quar-
terly as meeting a need unful-
filled by newspapers and
magazines Of stimulating n W
ideas and exchanging views in
the banking field.
Seek New Assurances
Despite administration assu-
RANGES, the ANPA and some
of Congress want
more assurance than just
words that "the hand of Big
Brother" will not be placed
upon the collection and distri-
button of news.

THE FEDERAL. SPOTLIGHT
Ii Congress Action on Own Pay
II Holds Keyto Increase for Workers

Many receive less than 500 a

maintaining the m inim u m
standards Of exitence, Senator
Marlborough added.
Under the Marlborough bill,
Federal retirees would get the
following increases: Those
whose annuity is $1,000 or less.
9 per cent; $1,8O1 to $4,000, 8
per cent; $2,20l to $4,000, 7 per

FRINGE BENEFITS SUR
VEY - The Bureau of Labor
Statistics expects to begin an
nual surveys to compare the
Governments fringe benefits
for Federal employees with
those Of industry. The BIS al
ready makes annual salary
comparisons between Govern
ment and industry, which form
the basis Of the Federal pay
reform law which establishes
the principle OF compatibility
between Government and in
dusty salaries.
Evan Clague, Commissioner
OF Labor Statistics, told the
House Civil Service Committee
that BIS has requested funds
for the fringe benefits surveys
and expects to have its first
annual comparison next year.
Such comparisons could give
Government employees Id e d
fringe efits. While such
fringe benefits used TO be much
greater than those OF industry
in such things as retirement
vacations. health and life insu-
rance. and further schooling
this is no longer true In many
cases. Industry fringe benefits
in the last decade have In
many cases caught UP to and
exceeded those OF Government

Up And Down Main Street
by Cliff Urseth

Congressman Jim Wright of Texas has
come up with some interesting informa-
ton about calls and letters received by
the President.
Some 5000 persons write President
Kennedy each day. Between 5000 and
5000 telephone calls come into the White
House every "a hours. Several hundred
persons every day insist on seeing the
President personally.
Wright her came up with these fig
ures. If President Kennedy talked on
the telephone for five minutes with one
person put of 100 who call, spent 10
minutes with one of five who want to
see him in person and dictated a one
page answer to only three per cent of the
letters he receives, he would be on the
telephone seven hours a day, would die
tate correspondence eight hours a day
and would spend 10 hours a day with
visitors.
And that wouldn't leave much time
for sailing.

Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota
presents some logic not at all foreign.
The senator reveals that it costs each
American citizen an average of about rs
cents a year to pay for u. S, support for
the many and varied activities of the
United Nations.
Humphrey told a Senate Foreign Re-
lations subcommittee that he considered
this ga rather good bargain"
The Minnesota Senator said the total
of all U. S. support for the u. N. since its
founding in 1915 has been less than the
cost of American foreign aid to South
Viet-Nam alone.
Let's figure the U. S. population at
around 1875 million. Then take that times
six bits and see what you come up with.
When you have that, take it times II
years and you should stop and wonder
what in the world has been going on in
South Viet-Nam. Particularly since our
position there seems to be going from
bad to worse.
This line of reasoning is similar to the
dollar down and a dollar a MONTH phi
losophy that has hamstrung many fami-
lies. It's the total sum spent that should
be considered, particularly since this
country seems to be shouldering the bur-
den for supporting the u. N. financially.
1 think there would be few complaints
registered if, say for instance Russia
would pay her fair share. And when we
foot a good share of the bill to further
improve Cuban agriculture, we wonder
if our rs cents is such a "rather good
bargain"

When Superintendent of Instruction
Harriet Miller spoke in Sidney recently,
she touched briefly on a bill introduced
in the recent legislative session that
would have led to a course in "Ameri-
canism and Communism" in school. The
bill never did pass. Mainly, according to
Miss Miller, because of the cost of pre-
pairing the lions share of the teachers to
be able to teach Americanism. We should
point out that there was a problem of
getting adequate textbooks along with
this.
You begin to wonder who can teach
Americanism if we can't.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
The pending Wheat Referen-
dunn is the most important
event in 1868 for the wheat
farmer, the livestock operator
and all those dependent on the
farm economy for their bust
ness. The issue is plain. Does
the farmer want $500 wheat in
exchange for production limi-
ted to market outlets or $1.00
wheat 1920 in Montana for
1864. The Agricultural Act of
1862, effective for the 1864
crop sets the rules for the 1864
program. The old law was re-
pealed when the new Act was
enacted.
The farm income in the past
year was only 500 of the non
farm income. Would it seem
intelligent for the farmer to
vote himself a still smaller
share?
This is the first honest at
tempt at adjustment on the ba-
sis Of increased yields per acre.
The temporary wheat programs
in operation for the last two
years, after which the subject
program was patterned, have
proved that the surplus can
be brought down to desirable
reserves within three to four
years after which increased
quotas can again be expected,
If the unlimited market
claimed for our Mont. premium
wheat were true we would not
have 200 million bushels in
elevator and farm storage now
The average annual market
takes about 1873 million bush
els. The claim is a planted
mirage"
