House Group Approves New Farm Measure WASHINGTON (UPD—A House Agriculture subcommittee Wednesday approved a bill bringing next year's corn, grain sorghum and barley crops under the administration’s 1961 feed grain surpruacutting program. The subcommittee sent the 1962 feed grain plan to the House Agriculture Committee for inclusion in the controversial omnibus farm bill. Committee leaders have indicated they plan to amend the omnibus bill to include detailed programs to cut back production of* 1962 crops of both wheat and feed grains. Earlier, an administration spokesman asked the House wheat subcommittee to endorse a measure reducing wheat plariting allotments by 10 per cent for 1962 only. Under the 1962 feed grain program, which also has administer tion backing, growers of corn, grain sorghum, and barley would have to hold plantings 20 per cent below the 1959-60 level to qualify for government price supports. In addition to eligibility for price supports, growers who complied with the program would get government payments based on half the normal yield of the ictled acres. Farmers who wanted to make further cutbacks, up to an additional *2O per cent, would-be eligible for payments at 60 per cent of normal yield. The subcommittee measure Bid not spell out the level of price supports to be provided for 1962 feed grains. It was expected, however, that the administration would keep supports at least as high as for this year. The 1961 corn crop will be supported at $1.20 per bushel sompared with $1.06 last year.

CUBA REVISES (Continued from page one) Castro said his government will be represented at next month s inter-American economic conference in Montevideo, Uruguay, and indicated he may attend. He said the invasion cost the United States many friends in Latin America “because the Latin American countries are brothers to Cuba ... we speak the same language and have the same culture and traditions.” “If President Kennedy goes, to Montevideo (for the conference) he will see the real feeling of Latin America toward the Unitea States,” he said.

Indiana REMCs Win Long Battle

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Seventeen Indiana rural electric cooperatives won a four-year battle today with approval of a record S6O million federal loan for construction of a huge power generating plant on White River near Petersburg. The fight came to an end here when the Rural Electrification Administration announced approval of the loan for Hoosier Cooperative Energy, Inc., in a news conference called by administrator Norman M. Clapp. Hoosier Energy was organized in 1949 to represent 17 Rural Electric Membership Corporations comprising 43 Southern Indiana counties. The organization applied to the REA in 1957 for a s4l million loan to build a 198,000 kilowatt plant and 900 miles of transmission lines to serve nine rural electric systems. Eater developments prompted the utility to file a revised loan application for $54 million in 1959, and later for S6O million to finance the plant on a 212-acre site and 1,400 miles of transmission lines to 75,000 consumers. The application kicked up a political skirmish. Then Gov. Harold W. Handley. a Republican, sent his Indiana Public Service Commission to Washington to oppose the loan on grounds it would represent a subsidy to a cooperative in competition with private power. The GOP argument was that the government would lend money to the REMCs at 2 per cent interest. a lower rate than the government paid in borrowing the money to make the loan. The Indiana Statewide Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc., indicated earlier this year that approval of the loan was imminent with thechange in state and nawith the change in state and napublican to Democratic. The loan was the largest in the

26-year history of REA. — Approval of ’the loan left one step in the legal procedure necessary to obtain the money. Hoosier Energy now must apply to the state’s Public Service Commission for a certificate of public convenience and necessity. Riley Osborne, Vincennes, president of Hoosier Energy, hailed the loan approval as “an historic milestone.” He also said it was “a giant step forward for Indiana’s REMCs and a great boon to the economy of the southern part of the state.’’ Frank Ratts, Osgood, coordinator of Hoosier Energy, said construction and operation of the plant for a 10-year period would benefit thousands of Hoosiers in an area “long plagued by chronic unemployment.” Hoosier Energy planned to open $1.20 per bushel compared with for turning the steam generators, buying an average of $1.5 million worth of coal a year over a 10year period. AU 43 REMCs in Indiana now buy their electric power from private utilities and resell it to their rural customers. Hoosier Energy includes REMCs known mostly by county names as Bartholomew, Daviess-Martin, Decatur, Dubois, Fayette-Union, Harrison, Johnson, Knox, Morgan, Orange, Rush, Shelby, Southeastern, Southern, Sullivan, Utilities District and Wayne. Also a member is Butler Electric Cooperative, Hamilton, Ohio.
