Declares Farm Land Values Are Too High Values Higher Than Eartlings Justify WASHINGTON (INS) -r A farm research specialist warned today that farm land values are higher than farm earnings can justify. William H. Scofield of tile agriculture department's research service said reports from various parts of the country predict possible danger for potential farm buyers who must depend on farm income to pay the mortgage. Many people, he said, apparently have not given enough attention to the continued increases In food and liber production likely to be brought about by technological im4>rovemenla --- Scofield said failure to take these factors Into consideration may lead some to ekpect higher incomes from land than can be realized. The real basis for land values in the future, he said, must be the level than can be supported by long-term jand earnings. ; Scofield’s -boss, agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson, has been pointing to the continued increase in farm land values as an indication to him that American agriculture is basically healthy. Scofield offered a variety of rear sons why farm real estate prices keep going up. He said the main one is that farmers feel they must enlarge their farms to offset lower commodity prices and to make more efficient use of the labor and equipment they now have. The expert said the cost-price squeeze has forced farmers to look for ways to increase efficiency. Scofield offered a variety of other reasons why farms are in demand. Most of them involve non-farmers. One of these is that many persons view farmland as a safe investment likely to increase ia val- > ue as the national economy con-: tinues to expand—even though j there are now lower incomes on farms. Another is that some believe a farm offers security in case of Inflation or depression. Tied into this is that some city dwellers look on a small farm as insurance against future unemployment. Scofield said many non-farmers simply want to own a farm for eventual retirement, and are not too concerned whether the farm will pay for itself. He said others may see a tax advantage in buying a farm that has a lower rate of return or may want to spread investments. Two Oil Company Men Are Censured Investigators Plan To Continue Probe WASHINGTON (INS) —Senate lobbying investigators planned today to search for any loose ends in the inquiry which led to "severe censure” of two oil company representatives for trying to influence the gas bill vote of Sen. Francis' Case (R-S.D.) Sen. John L. MicClellan (D-Ark.) told newsmen his eight-member blue-ribbon committee will examine all angles of the Case matter. A four-member committee headed by Sen. Walter F. George (DGa.) issued a report Saturday night on its investigation of an offer of campaign funds to Case by John M. Neff, lobbyist for the Superior Oil Co. of California. They said Neff and Elmer Patman. counsel for the firm, displayed "galloping irresponsibility" in handling funds supplied by Howard B. Keck, the company’s president. They added that Keck .shares responsibility also, although Patman had a free hand ! in doling out the money. The investigators recommended | that the justice department deter- ’ mine “whether or not any federal ! statutes have been violated and . whether or not there has been' perjurv by witnesses." !

Transfer Os Pupils Grows In Indiana Report Migration Is More Than Expected INDIANAPOUS (INS) — The first state survey of school pupil migration discloses that the movement of children from jnre school district to another annually is much greater than expected.

She retired at 1 a.m., while some of her friends stayed up to dawn, singing informally around a piano on the cocktail lounge. Miss Kelly appeared disappointed that a costume party scheduled for Sunday evening was cancelled by the purser, who said not enough passengers seemed interested.
