How To Pay The Price? A lot of people do not like the idea of farm price supports, and that is their business. But whether we like them or not, thay are here to stay, at least for a while. The more imperative issue of today is not whether we should have price supports, but in what manner they should be distributed. There is a growing acceptance of replacing the price supports of today with a direct payment plan —a plan in which the farmer can collect direct payment from the government for not growing a certain amount of surplus crops. The idea seems to be a continuation of the soil bank plan in a little different manner. That naturally grates. Many will ask why a person would be paid for not doing something. Mainly, because no matter how you cut it, the most basic industry of the United States is still agriculture. Regardless of the vast technicalogical advances of our modern industries, there is no more basic, important, or highly advanced industry than agriculture. Fifty-one per cent of all industrial raw materials come from the farms of this country. And, despite the fact that all of the blame goes to the Department of Agriculture, we must never forget that American agriculture is an intregal part of our defense mechanism. Russia does not lop off heads because of their industry, or their armed forces, but they really roil because of their agricultural problems. Red China has the problem, the immense problem, of trying to feed their hundreds of millions. In most parts of the world, getting enough food is one of the main problems. If the United States ever faces that problem, then we will be weak. Direct payment to the farmer will not only help settle some of our immediate problems, it will do it in a manner that will keep our agricultural reserve strong. With direct payments, a farmer will not have to grow the crop to receive his payment, and thus he will not be adding to the already burdensome surpluses. And those surpluses cost around a billion dollars a year in storage costs alone — dollars that we pay in taxes. Direct payments would reduce the surpluses, reduce the storage costs, and still keep our agricultural reserve at top strength. The only other alternative is to discourage the number of farmers, reduce our reserve strength, and weaken the general economy. A bright spot in any farm discussion is the fact that experts in agriculture, population, economy, etc., forecast that within twenty years the needs of this country will be such that today’s agriculture will have to be upgraded 40 per cent to even hold its own. At that time, the whole question of over supply will be gone, and supply and demand can once again take over.

« . ■ -4» - ■■ Sen. Eichhorn Foresees Late Assembly Acts United press International INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Practically all the important decisions of the Indiana Legislature will be made in its dying hours by conference committees, Sen Von A. Eichhorn, D-Uiondale, predicted today. “And it will have to be give and take among the Democratic Senate and Republican House conferees," Eichhorn added. “Otherwise. no real will be solved.” Eichhoru, who has been a senator for consecutive years, is the oldest senator in point of service, although a few others have lived longer than he has. Unlike most olders, Eichhorn does not agree that the dear, dead days beyond recall were the better ones in legislative history. “There have been both good and bad legislatures in the past 22 years,” he said. “This is a pretty good session and much better than the ones ! sat through in my early days as a legislator.” “The standcrs of the lawmaker are higher now. I don’t know of a single shakedown bill this session. I have recognized many of them in past session,” he said. A shakedown or tambourine bill is a measure introduced by a legislator only for the purpose of penalizing a prosperous industry, in the past, bills of this type were withdrawn or defeated after certain overtures were made by the victims. Taxation is the major issue these days, according to Eichhorn, and the situation is more complex than ever before. “These are the days of Big Business, Big Labor and Big Politicos, whether we like it or not,” he said. ■ Eichhorn said the night life of j the legislators, involving free i drinks and meals and other rather ; unmentionable fringe benefits, is [ much cleaner than in the 1930 s when Eichhorn first came .to Indianapolis.

“Because of our slight marin in the Senate, we Democratic senators have to watch our health,” Eichhorn said. “We can’t afford to be sick because if we should fail to attend a session, the Republicans might take over. Even in the case of a funeral, we have tc make a gentlemen's agreement with the Republicans about what bills will be considered at that time.” Union Pals The Union Pals 4-H group met at the Immanuel Lutheran school Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock.

Drunken Drivers Bill Is Defeated

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-Backers of the “implied consent” bill said today they expect to try again for passage of the measure as a curb to drunken drivers after failing by two votes late Wednesday in the Indiana House. The bill Introduced by Reps. George W. Stocksdale, D-Hunting-ton, and Kermit O. Burrous, RPeru, failed to pass by a 48-46 vote. The House contains 19 attorneys and only ; two of them voted for the bill. The oratory, which rolled on for about an hour before the vote was taken, resolved into a life-and-liberty argument. The attorneys maintained that the bill “constitutes an infringement” on constitutional liberties. Proponents of the measure contended that the bill was no more a violation of constitutional rights than fingerprinting or paraffin tests. Cites Prints, Search Rep. Richard Wright, R-Win-chester, asked “If blowing in a balloon is unconstitutional, then so is taking fingerprints, so is searching a man's pockets for the murder weapon.” The chemical tests which the bill's., backers proposed using to determine intoxication are already in use in the state. Their evidence has been accepted since 1930 in legal cases. The devices are known as the “drunkometer” and the “breathalyzer,” both of which require that the suspected drunk blow up a balloon. The I sample of breath collected is used in the test. Rep. Otis Bowen, R-Bremen. a physician, spoke on behalf of the measure, pointing out that eight states now hsve such laws and that the Indiana bill contains additional safeguards on the testing lof equipment and licensing of I operators. He said a 150-pound man would have to consume at least six glasses of beer or six ounces of 100-proof whisky before registering the minimum degree of intoxication set by law. Rep. Charles Edwards, RSpencer, an attorney, charged that the bill would open the door to “further limiting of constitutional rights.” He proposed that instead a person convicted of drunken driving be required to use license plates with the letters “DD” on them. Didier Defends Bill Rep. Calvin Didier. R-LaPorte, who defended the bill, noted that “DD” might be taken to mean “doctor of divinity.” Didier, a minister, has a doctor of divinity

degree. He warned that further delay in passing the bill, which failed in the past two sessions, would mean maqy more lives lost unnecessarily. Rep. Birch Bayh, who said he was biased because he once was injured critically when an intoxicated driver struck his car headon, argued that there is a distinction between vocal testimony and visible evidence in constitutional guarantees against self-incrimina-tion. He said the drunk test is visible evidence, along with fingerprints and scars. Burrous urged the lawyers to allow the bill to become law and let the Supreme Court decide on the constitutionality. Voting against the bill were Allen. Berning, Birchler, Bloom, Bulen, Caldwell, Coppes, Donaldson, Edwards, Hensley, Kohler, Littell, Madinger, D. Myers, Moores, Slenker, Adolfi, Babincsak. R. Baker, Brassie. Byers, Cloud, Coy, Crecelius, Fenn, Harmon, Hawthorne, Henrichs, Herring, Hill. Hunter. Kirk, Lundquist, Maloney, Marr, Minnick, Neaderhiser. Rock. Sebree, Seng, L. Smith, Stacy, Strate. Sutton, Waltz and Wampler. Not voting were Johnson and V. Smith. All others voted for tithe measure except McGrath who was ill and speaker Guthrie.
