In Washington Senator Vance Hartke writes from Washington it was shocking,-|o him to learn of the brazen rigging of the television quiz shows. The muddy morality, he points out, which was applied to production and contestants hurt the industry. But more important, it gives our young people a distorted idea of values. It indicated < to them that respected leaders are allowed to cheat for money or prestige. Sen. Hartke, a member of the interstate and foreign commerce committee, which would handle any regulatory bills, hopes that the FCC and FTC will be able to handle the situation without any new regulations. The Hartke's are anxiously awaiting their sixth child in Washington, where the senator is in his office daily, attending to business. If Mrs. Hartke’s condition permts, he expected to speak at Morgantown, W. Va., Tuesday. Next week he will represent Congress at a meeting of congressmen and senators from all our NATO allies. Recently Sen. Hartke received a letter from a young Kokomo girl who asked if there was still a place for Christianity in politics and government. She was prompted to do so by her Sunday school studies. The teachings of morality in Christianity are needed today, badly needed, the senator replied, not alone in politics and government, but in the daily lives of all. Another young lady, a nine-year-old from New York, asked him what she could do to promote world peace. The senator suggested that she study our form of government, its history, and try to understand all peoples, and pray daily. Senator Hartke is doing a fine job in Washington; the great majority of Adams county people who supported him can be proud of his accomplishments. _ .am YOUR BALLOT (Please mail to the Decatur Daily Democrat, Deca4ur, Ind.; your choice will be tabulated with all those received, and the results printed, if enough returns are received). -Matthew Welsh -Bert Steinwedel John Walsh Ralph Tucker Von Eichhorn x

Farm Production Record In Nation WASHINGTON (UPD—Another U.S. farm production record apparently is assured this year but farmers' income probably will be down about 15 per cent. The Agriculture Department reported Tuesday that a bumper corn crop, estimated at 4,402.476,000 bushels, is setting the pace for an overall harvest that is expected to equal last year’s record high. The department’s next-to-1 as t crop report of the year said the overall harvest would equal last year’s record high. Coupled with increased livestock output, this could mean an all-time farm production record. But farm economists have predicted that the 1959 net farm income will drop 15 per cent below last year. The 1959 corn crop, based on Nov. 1 crop conditions, compared with the previous record of 3.799.844,000 bushels last year and the 1948-1957 average of 3,251,064,000 bushels. The 1959 corn crop is the first to be harvested under Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson’s progam of eliminating all controls •b corn. The measure was reluctantly approved by Congress last yenThe corn estimate was down slightly from the Oct. 1 prediction 01 *, »29,154,000 bushel?. Soybean production estimates also fell off as yields failed to reach expectations in several major statesThe department made new estimates on about half of the major crops usually covered in its monthly reports. Production estimates on the other crops, including wheat and most other grains, were carried over from the October forecasts. New and final estimates so 1959 will be made next month. The outlook improved slightly for cotton, rice, sugar beets and grain sorghums. Total feed grain production will top the previous mark by 16 per cent on the strength of the huge corn crop, the report indicated.

20 Years Ago Today I o - O Nov. 11, 1939—The annual Red Cross roll call was opened here today, with a goal of at least 1,500 members. Prof. Andrew W. Cordier, head of the political science department at Manchester College, will make three adresses here next week under sponsorship of the Business and Professional Women’s club. Mr. and Mrs. Deane Dorwin are spending the weekend in Ann Arbor and Detroit, Mich.

Other county scores: Berne 37, Monroe 15; Geneva 29, Jefferson 22; Kirkland 39, Hartford 14; Pleasant Mills 35, Monmouth 13. • Indiana Corn Crop Is Estimated Third WASHINGTON (UPD—The Agriculture Department estimated Indiana's 1959 corn crop Tuesday at 349,440,000 bushels and the third greatest production among the top corn-growing states. The Nov. 1 estimate was down more than five million bushels from the Oct. 1 estimate of 354,900,000 bushels. But Minnesota and Nebraska estimates were even lower than Indiana’s, although those states shoved Indiana into fifth place in corn production in 1958. In 1958, Indiana produceed 277,389,000 bushels of corn, slightly behind Nebraska and well behind Minnesota, the latter with 312,448,000 bushels. The latest estimates, however, showed Indiana less than two million bushels ahead of Nebraska, and Minnesota about 10 millions bushels back. The Indiana estimate was down considerably from the July and September estimates of 365,820,000 bushels. It was down 3 bushels per acre, from 67 to 64, in the estimated average yield. Last year’s Indiana average was 63 bushels per acre. Nationally, the corn crop estimate was 4,402,476 bushels, down from the Oct. 1 estimate but higher than the 1958 record harvest. The soybean crop was estimated at 528,111.000 bushels, compared with an October estimate of 529,793,000 bushels and a 1958 crop of 574,413,000 bushels.

Four Boys Chained To Floor Os School

MANDAN, N. J. (UPI) — A high state official said today another hearing would be held into charges four unclothed teen-aged boys were chained to the floor of the North Dakota Training School. Herman Joos, chairman of the state Board of Administration, said an earlier hearing held this week was inconclusive since the school’s superintendent, Thomas Crouse, did not testify. Joos said the four youths, ranging from 14 to 16 years old, were chained in one room without furniture and only a pail of sanitary purposes because they had escaped from the institution several times. Joos said the boys were ordered chained by Crouse during a time when carpenters were repairing wire mesh screening on the widows of their room. They were left without clothes during the night, Joos said, but during the day were given bathroom privileges and taken to the lunchroom to eat. It was not disclosed how long the punishment continued. State Sen. Ralph Ericstad said he and several other lawmakers learned about the incident through confidential sources and asked for the investigation. “This type of treatment has no rehabilitative effect,” he said. Ericstad said Crouse was offered an opportunity to testify before the board but that he preferred to have legal counsel before making any statement for the record.

Plight of Farmers While parking my number twelve on the fifth wire of a road fence watching the smoke from a nearby chimney curling up into the cold fall atmosphere, A high pressure salesman brought his brand new car to a graceful stop directly in front of me After rolling down the door glass he said, “Old timer 1 ? how is every thing going on the farm?” “Oh!” I said “things could be worse.” He said “Don’t you know I have been asking farmers the same thing all day, 1 really belive that under the Benson Farm plan formers are really on easy street.” I said, “Mr., is that the reason why everybody is pushing us around? Do you realize nearly everything that farmers have to sell is going down and that produce must measure up to a standard of perfection at a price far below the real value, while we must pay a very high inflated price for nearly everything we buy, which consists of a very poor quality, in order to stay in business formers this year have borrowed more money, than they have in any year in the history of our nation at a high interest rate. The whole set up under this farm program has started to smell. Spraying political deodorant over the carcass will not stop the decay. Recently at a farm sale a farmer sold two implements for $3600 which cost him four years ago SIOOOO. These tools were in an excellent condition. I saw two sows and twelve pigs sell for $29 each recently. A farmer closed out his dairy herd in order to keep the sheriff from serving a notice on him that the mortgage on his property was due for S9OOO. Another farmer sold pigs through a sale barn for 50 cents a head, they didn’t pay the expense of truckage, commission and insurance. After I told him that medium size eggs were selling, for 17 cents a dozen, old roosters 4 cents a pound, heavy hens 9 cents a pound, leghorn hens 7 cents a pound, heavy hogs $9.75 a hundred, he started to shake his head and he said old times, when I go back to Washington I am going to tell the President that he should at least shake a few crumbs from his prosperity tray, to the hard pressed and deserving farmers. Then he said, “Before I leave I want to ask you one more question, what is wrong with our government?” I said, “since you are a well education public man with a lot of experience you should know more about this questian than I do. But if you want an answer, I am willing to give you my candid opinion.” “When I was a boy we had the best form of government in the world, being a republic, and at that time we had two very strong political parties, Democratic and Republican. These two parties gave their service to the people of our nation instead of building up a political machine.” They carefully checked on each other’s programs, which gave us a political balance that resulted in the kind of legislation that our nation needed. But at the present time, I regret to say, that we have two forms of government wrapped up in one, being part republic and the remainder socialistic. And the saddest part of all we do not have one strong political party left, both of the old line parties have joined hands to see how fast they can spend the hard earned taxpayer’s money on remote, decadent, political schemes, that has brought destruction to every nation that has tried them. Instead of increasing our expen-

ditures for the expansion of our educational facilities, we should immediately double our efforts and spend more and more to increase the wisdom of the citizens of our republic, as we already have enough knowledge to run our government, but lack the wisdom to efficiently use the amount of education we already have. We are the most lawless, and yet we are the best educated nation in the world, because we know more about the ages of rocks, than we do about the Rock of Ages, because a mis-directed guiding power has captivated the energies of our people and we are traveling in a direction which is contrary to the law of a sound logic. Unless we go back and recapture the wisdorh of the founding forefathers, who so wisely laid the keel for the Ship of State, that proudly sailed over the blue waters of the world, which brought success, happiness and prosperity to our nation, we will perish, for our one-time glorious old Ship of State is now floundering in the troubled waters of indecision and reluctant action.
