an Referendum Jce Quotas Rice Farmers Vote Friday On Quotas WASHINGTON (INS) — “Rice is in trouble.” “Increased world supplies, lowered world prices, and U.S. supportprice legislation make this a critical time for rice producers, millers and exporters." ' These quotations come from a pamphlet distributed in early eptember last year by the California experiment station. Nothing has happened since that time 'o improve the situation. As a result, the agriculture department is conducting a nationwide referendum Friday to find out whether producers are willing to accept marketing quotas on the 1955 crop. The decision is a tough one. ' r wothirds of those voting must approve quotas before they can be nt into effect. If approved, rice -ewers will get supports at 90 percent of parity; otnerwise the

support level will be only 50 percent. In any case, bach individual producer will have an acreage allotment he must adhere to or pay a penalty. The national total is 1,859,099 acres divided among farms in eleven states. There is no exact information on how many farmers will be eligible to vote Friday, but 25,000 individual allotments have been set up in these states: Arkansas,. Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana. Missouri, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Unlike producers of cotton, tobacco. wheat and other basic crops' the rice farmers have never been too happy about any kind of production controls. In fact, in 1938 — the one year in which they voted on such a program—they rejected marketing quotas. Opinion is about evenly divided on whether they may do the same thing agald.

Few Congressmen Far East Experts.;... Risky Decision Is Up To Congressmen WASHINGTON (INS P — President Eisenhower has asked congress to make a risky decision about Formosa but only a handful of lawmakers can act on the basis of a continuing, first-hand study of the problem. Many members of congress have never touched foot on Formosa. Some have had Far Eastern Junkets but not all of these included the big island off the China mainland. Mr. Eisenhower himself has not been to the Far East since the 1930's except for his swift postelection trip to Korea in 1952, when he did not visit Formosa. Backing him up with first hand data are the huge diplomatic and foreign service career networks of the state department and the defense department's vast military analyses. The 531 members of congress, however, look for guidance in the critical decision from a small band of their own — lawmakers who have made the Far East their special, intensive and continuing study over at least the last six to seven years. The senate’s top specialists are Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) William F. Knowland (R-Calif.), H. Alexander Smith (R-N. J.) and John J. Sparkman (D-Ala.) Two house experts lived and worked in China in their early years. One, Rep. Walter Judd (RMinn.) who was a medical missionary there for 10 years, has renewed his first hand knowledge of the Far East by four trips to the Orient since his election to congress in 1942. A year of teaching school in China — in 1919 and 1920 — gave Rep. John M—Vorys (R-Ohio) a lasting absorption in problems of the Far East. He has kept abreast of them as a member of the house foreign affairs committee. Vorys. along with house foreign affairs chairman James P. Richards (D-S. C.), recently completed a round-the-world survey which included talks with leaders on For- ! rnosa.

Key To Success Os Ike's Plan Is In Peiping * 4 Plan For Saving Os Formosa Lies With Chinese Reds WASHINGTON (INS) — The key to the success of President Eisenhower's plan to save Formosa Without a fight lies today in the Chinese Communist capital of Peiping. The plan will be a complete success if the Chinese Communist leaders believe the President is as determined as he says he is to fight, if necessary, to save Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek’s island. If the Chinese Reds don’t believe it, then a small war between American and Chinese forces is likely, and a big War between the U. S. and Red China is possible, ■ These are the almost inescapable conclusions reached today from a number of well-informed and highly-placed officials on the Formosa message the President sent to congress Monday. The hope is that the prospect of running head-on into American sea and air power will scare off the Chinese Reds from even trying to invade Formosa or its approaches. The alternative, as the President outlined it, would be war — possibly carried beyond the Formosa straits and onto the China mainland itself. Officials revealed the administration’s hopes for a bloodless defensive victory by emphasizing the many reasons that could deter the Red Chinese from butting heads against American forces around Formosa. Some of the officials admitted, however, that there is a -ehanee the Peiping regime may take the trig gamble and doubt that Mr. Eisenhower is prepared to back his words with action. But they stressed that military realities should keep the Chinese Reds from a direct clash with the U. S. seventh fleet or American air power. • The “realities” cited were: 1. The vulnerability of Communist positions on islands north of the Tachen group which the Nationalists hold. 2. The vulnerability of Red Chinese jet airfields in the Shanghai-Hangchow-Ningpo complex. 3. The vulnerability of Chinese port cities like Tsinkaing, Amoy, and Swaitow, which have no jet airfields of their own and are too far away from the Shanghai complex to be protected from there. — The administration is hoping, and almost ready to bet, that these three considerations will prevent even a small war in the area. The most immediate of the dangers of war comes on the question of U. S. air and sea cover of a withdrawal from the Tachen islands, where ’an estimated 10,000 Nationalist troops now are under air attack. Evacuation is a most dangerous military maneuver for the troops must leave their protective fortifications and board ships which are “sitting duck” targets until they get away free of their anchorage. In many respects, that would be the ideal time for the Communists to attack, and it would be an extremely important propaganda advantage if the Reds could break through the U. S. air and sea cover to disrupt the withdrawal. Raleigh. N. C., — Nearly 350 million menhaden worth more than million are caught annually in North Carolina waters. They are converted into oil used for paint, soap and other products.

Costa Rica (INS) — The inter-American fact - finding commission will fly to Washington today on urgent business as new trouble threatened along the Costa Rica-Nicaragua border. The five-nation commission at the organization of American states (OAS) had “pressing problems’’ to lay befpre the OAS council in the U. S. capital, including a “concrete request by Costa Rica relating to the present situation." The increased tension along the frontier of the two Central American nations resulted from the commission’s abolishing the buffer zone between Costa Rica and Nicaragua which had been set up to prevent the recent rebellion against the San Jose government from spreading. Costa Rican government troops were ready to move against several hundred rebels in the zone today, The threat of an international incident became apparent when Nicaragua’s President Anastaslo Sonioza announced he was sending some 50 Otroops to reinforce his border posts in the area and preventing Costa Rican soldiers from violating the frontier. OAS Commission President Luis Quintanilla of Mexico announced the sudden plan to fly to Washington early today after a two-hour meeting with Costa Rica’s President Jose Figueres. Quintanilla said: “In view of the gravity of the situation we will plant before the Organization of American States the various urgent aspects of the problem that we are facing.” He refused, however, to tell newsmen-the natuee*c< tbe-press-ing problems or of the request which Costa Rica will make of the OAS council through the commission. The President said his group expected to return to San Jose “as soon as the council decides the pressing problems.” Figueres’ government requested the abolition of the demilitarized area—six miles deep and 18 miles long—to enable his loyal troops to mop up Rebel units who fled into the area in extreme northwest ofCosta. Rica’s Guanacaste province. Costa Rican troops moved up Monday to jumping-off spots along the security zone limits. The OAS five-nation commission announced its decision to abolish the zone Monday night after a flying trip to Managua to inform Somoza of the move. Jets Tops BONN (INS) . — West Germany’s projected air force will consist mainly of speedy jet fighters rather than bombers and troop carrier aircraft. Reports in Bonn disclose that on the Federal Republic’s insistence, her future jet fighter force„for the European defense will be 600 planes and not 350 as planned by the Western Allies.
