Eisenhower
Asks Reforms
In Ba||Oting
By the Associated Press

Dwight D. Eisenhower wants
State election laws modernized
to create "a less complicated,
more streamlined" voting sys-
tenn that would attract more
Americans to the polls.
The former President ex-
pressed his views at the re-
quest of President Kennedy's
Commission on Registration
and Voting Participation, Gre
ated last March 80 to find out
why so many eligible Americans
don't vote.
In letter to DR.. Richard M.
Scammon, commission chair
man and director of the Census
Bureau, Gen. Eisenhower urged
that the commission study more
uniform voting procedures.
Sees Party Imbalance
The letter, dated September 8
but released yesterday, said
such uniformity could by ex-
plored in the fields of residence
requirements, registration pro-
cedures and anti-fraud protec-
tive measures.
"The commission would also
do well, Gen. Eisenhower said,
Ito direct its attention to the
serious imbalance between po-
utical parties =. in certain
areas where some State laws
tend to perpetuate the long
entrenched one-party system"
Referring to the South, where
Democrats have long been DOM
inant, Gen. Eisenhower said
many States lack bipartisan
representation on election
boards and among judges or
other officials who supervise
elections.
"The commission may wish
to develop or recommend pro-
cedures more likely to produce
fair and open two party activity
in these States" he said.
Complicated Vote Laws
The letter proposed changes
in other needlessly compli-
Gated election laws" which may
require a voter to strike out
the name of every candidate
except the one for whom he is
voting.
1t also spoke of the diff
culties minority party candi-
dates have in getting on the
ballot, and suggested examina-
tion of filing fees, such as
one States requirement of
$2,500 to run for the Senate.
Another State asks $1,000, he
said.
Gen. Eisenhower said the
failure of 3S million potential
voters to cast ballots in the
1860 national elections reflects
no credit on our system"

Wheat Sale
Draws Fire
By the Associated Press

Two Republican Senators
and a Democrat seek a recon-
sideration of United States ex-
port control policies in the
light of the $500 million Ca
madam wheat sale to Russia.
Senator Milton r. Young, Re- |
publican of North Dakota, told
his colleagues yesterday the
sale makes our foreign policy
look pretty silly. We should
take'a new look at it."
Senator Young said this !
country now has 81 billion of
wheat on hand, more than half
of it in Government hands
under price support programs.
The Russian sale, he said,
means that Canadian agricul-
ture and its associated in
dustries will be booming while
the United States still is try
ing to cut production and
get rid of price-depressing sur
pluses.
Reports No Protests
This is going to be difficult
for American farmers to un-
derstand," he said. IF all our
allies are going to sell to Com
munist countries, 1t is hard to
see why we should sit back
ourselves"
Senators Aiken, Republican
Of Vermont, and McGovern,
Democrat Of South Dakota,
supported Senator Young.
Senator Aiken said he had |
not received a single protest
against the wheat sales ne
gotiated by Canada to Re- d
China.
He said he was sure there
would be some objections to
the Russian deal because a part
of the wheat was going to Cuba.
but added
I'VE should consider whether
a strong solvent Canada can
make better contribution
to hemisphere defense than a
bankrupt Canada.
Look at Policy Asked
I'VE sell wheat to Western
Europe which mills 1t into
flour and sells it TO Russia,
to Eastern Europe, and possibly
Cuba.
THE difference is that
Canada gets the full price, but
we sell at a discount or give
1t away and permit Western
Europe to skim off the cream"

istrator Of the Food for Peace

months of the Kennedy ad-
ministration. said that from
every standpoint, ito In our
interest 10 Teconsiaar our

peared to have been placed un-

Mr.. Cox alleged that he could
still come up with an accurate
appraisal and detailed a num-
Der Of similar land sales to sub
stantiate his evaluation.
Earlier, George w. DeFran-
ceaux. president of Frederick
w. Behrens, Inc, mortgage
bankers, claimed the Waldorf
land was not worth more than
$500 per acre. He said he re-
fused financing for a developer
in 1859 on the land, and an
other developer in 1861.
Federal Court Judge Roszel
c. Thomson will hear motions
today to strike evidence and
requests for certain aspects of
the law to be included in his
charge to the jury.
Monday will be used for

pected to go to the jury OH

estate appraiser, was hlred Dy
the Government to survey land
sold by former Alabama Con-
gresham Frank w. Boykin to
j. Kenneth Edlin, savings and
loan operator. The defense
charged that he did not request
permission from the owners of
the land.
The Government contends
that Edlin purchased the land
at inflated prices as a payoff
to Mr.. Boykin for approaching
the Justice Department in his
behalf.
Both men are charged along
with former Maryland Repre-
sentative Thomas S. johnson.
and William L. Robinson, Ed
Inns assistant, with conspiracy
to defraud the Government.
The prosecution alleges that the
two Congressman tried to Elk"
a mail fraud nd ic TIM n t
against Edlin.
S25O,OOO Down Payment
Edlin agreed to pay So mil
lion for 5000 acres near Wal
dorf, Md, and SO million for
5000 acres near Brooke, Va.
He gave Mr.. Boykin $3.50, 900
as down payment in April,
1851.
A defense witness, earlier In
the trial, appraised the Wal
dorf land at about STA mil
lion, or about 81 400 per acre
and gave a rough estimate on
the value Of the Brooke land at
from $4.5 to So million.
Yesterday, Mr.. Cox testified
that the Waldorf land, in his
opinion, was worth $1,160,000
or about $l45 an acre, and the
Brooke land $293,56 or about
$50 per acre.
A bid by the defense to strike
Mr.. Cox's testimony was only
partially successful. The de-
tense charged that the witness
trespassed when he made his
appraisal because he did not
secure permission to enter the
land.

ton and counselled the witness
to testify only on the basis Of
