SOVIET ICoatinued rrom page one) times when warnings were ceived of unidentified ob j e c t s heading toward the United States. The dispatch emphasized it would |be impossible for the planes to attack Russia by mistake. Assistant Defense Secretary Murray Snyder said the dispatch on the SAC alert system was “accurately and correctly” written by Bartholomew and that the U.P. dispatch was cleared with the Defense Department before publication. The U.S. stand against the Soviet charges was expected to be based largely on the fact that a ' fool-proof system makes it impos- ’ sible for the American bombers to drop nuclear bombs on Russia 1 by mistake. Only a direct order ■ from President Eisenhower could ■ drop the bombs. ' — HARRIMAN (Continued from page one) ‘Seems Reasonable’ Rockefeller said some panel members favored a five to seven-billion-dollar cut and “that seems reasonable to me.” He said members differed on when the cut should go into effect but all agreed it should be ordered within a month or so. In his prepared testimony, Harriman said the current recession was “not necessary, at least to the extent it has developed. It has been brought on by ill-advised policies, and inaction on the part of the administration has permitted it to deepen.” “Failure to act vigorously now plays directly into the hands of the Kremlin,” he said, by weakening the economies of the free and neutral nations and giving the Communists “a propaganda weapon of the most damaging nature.” Harrman was ambassdor to Russia, foreign aid administrator and secretary of commerce under Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman.

Adams County Farmer On Television Program Tractor track planting in Adams county soil will be the subjecT of a television show by Hugo Bulmahn Preble township, Leo N. Seltenright, county agent, and Wayne Rothgeb, over WKJG-TV at 1 O’clock Tuesday afternoon. Pictures of the actual method used in this limited tillage process, the faster growing of the plants in comparison with those planted in traditional way on the same farm, and pictures of the lack of weeds at harvest time will be shown. Bulmahn, for the past two years, | has planted fields of corn using \ ’ limited tillage methods. This year i ' he is planting his entire crop that way. One tractor will plow the 5 land, and another will follow plant- ! ing in the freshly plowed land r without discing or harrowing. The i wheels from the planter will tamp down the clay loam soil over the seeds. SCHOOL I (Continued trom page one) “ ■ istration, they thought. All five members would be elected at large under the present plan, as recommended by the state department of education. This would mean that if the people of the township decided they wanted the board changed, all of them would get to vote at the same election on the question, rather than just one or two precincts. No residence requirements, other than in Wabash school township, were made, so that any men chosen by a democratic vote of ■ the entire township could serve. . In some years more than one . might be from the same area, but • under the present one-man control system, only one man from one man from one area can posi sibly be in control of the school. By the democtratic process the • people of the entire community : will determine who they want, and . from where they want them.
