Freeman Designs New Farm Policy

WASHINGTON <UPB — Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman has produced a blueprint for a new long-range farm program designed to trim surpluses sharply and to cut farm price supixirt costs about in half in five years, it was learned today. The proposed farm policy is based on "supply management" plans to control production of surplus crops—especially grains—and to turn of acres of cropland into grass, woodlands, and recreation areas. Freeman’s plans, most of them designed to take effect beginning in 1963, would keep net farm income at or slightly above current levels. The plans, outlined in a docua ment labelled "A Food and Agrl-

culture Program for, the 1960’5." were prepared by Freeman and 1 his advisers. The proposals are i under top-level study, and many of thcmf.may appear in a special. Presidential farm message next year. Administration farm officials emphasized, however, that the plans are under continuous review and subject to possible change. The Key Ideas The key ideas which Freeman and his advisers have developed j are: —A package of production or marketing control and price support plans for feed grains, wheat, cotton, rice, and dairy products. Also included are proposals to authorize farmers to adopt market- j ing regulation and production con-, trols for poultry, and drastic,

changes in federal sugar programs. —"—? ’ —A "pilot plant” test of a program to retire cropland through government rental or purchase under long-term contracts. —Continuation' of donations of food to the needy at home and use of food to build the economies of newly developing nations at current high levels. A food stamp program, currently being tested in eight localities, would be expanded to covej an estimated four million persons by 1967. -Stepped-up find nonfaim jobs for j>«)ple who cannot earn a decent living on marginal farms. One major new proposal calls for loans to rural youngsters to pay for job training. The scholarship loans of up to $6,000 would be repayable over 20 years. All new farm production controls included in the proposals would be subject to approval by farmers in referenda if they were authorized by Congress. But the suggestions were certain to draw stiff opposition from those who oppose extending government con-

trols over farming operations:, Would Impose Controls The grain programs suggested by Freeman would impose mandatory controls on all grain producers if a two-thirds majority of the affected farmers accepted the programs in a referendum. Growers who took acreage out of production, under these plans would receive direct land rental payments as well as price supports on the grains grown on their remaining acreage. Price, for feed grains would be upped slightly from present levels. For wheat, the support program would be on a two-price basis. Grower J would get supports at a relatively high level for about 700 million bushels annually for domestic food and export sales, while other wheat would be supported at a lower price. Administration planners believe the new controls would reduce the government's wheat surplus by 150 million bushels annually and the feed grain surplus by eight rpillfon tons a year. By 1967, planners predicted, gov-

ernment spending on farm support programs could be down to $1.3 1 billion compared to the estimated ■ s2d> billion for the current fiscal • ■ year. Without new legislation, I farm officials forecast that spend- ; ing would rise to $3 billion by 1964. U N ATTACKS (Continued from Page One ■ nocent civilians."

Youth's Body Found In Burned Cottage MOUNT VERNON, Ind. (UPD— The charred body of a youth identified as William Stark, 19, Evansville, was found Saturday in the ruins of a summer cottage destroyed in a mysterious fire. Posey County Coroner Ferrell Meinschein said identification was made through the youth’s dentures and a watch. He was the son of Rev. and Mrs. William Stark of Bedford. The youth’s car was found stuck in mud less than a mile from the cottage, leading authorities to believe he went to the cottage in search of shelter. However, the cause of the fire has not been deFive Leading College Teams Play Tonight By FRED DOWN United Press International The nations five top college basketball teams place their records and reputations in jeopardy tonight—with four of em facing the extra hazard of playing on the road. First-ranked Ohio State is at St. Louis; second-ranked Cincinnati visits Wichita, third-ranked Kansas State hosts Arizona at Manhattan, Kan., fourth-ranked Providence opposes DePaul at Chicago, and fifth-ranked Duke visits West Virginia. There’s only one apparent soft touch in the lot —Arizona—which is a four-time loser. St. Louis has a 3-2 record but is always tough. Wichita is 5-1, DePaul is 5-0 and West Virginia is 6-0. Cincinnati will be trying to extend its winning streak to 28 consecutive games and also to beat Wichita in comparable fashion to Ohio State. The Buckeyes walloped Wichita, 85-62, Dec. 8. The Bearcats, the defending NCAA champions, made it 27 in a row Saturday night when they routed Marshall College, 77-49, to lead the general advance of the top-rated teams. Fred Dierking led Cincinnati with 19 points and 14 rebounds. « Ohio State walloped Loyola (Ill.), 92-72, Kansas State defeated St. John’s of New York, 63-50, Duke trimmed Arizona, 78-47, sixth-ranked Purdue downed Butler, 65-57, seventh-ranked Southern California beat Depauw, 75-66, eighth-ranked Arizona State U. whipped New Mexico, 82-59, ninthranked West Virginia topped Penn State, 79-65. and lOth-ranked Wake Forest lost to Maryland, 79-62. » 4 AMERICAN LEAGUE Eastern* Division W L T Pct.

termined. The blazt was discovered by neighbors shortly before dawn, and firemen were unable to arrive at the scene in time to keep the flames from destroying the cottage. Stark’s body was unnoticed by firemen and was found by a neighbor after they left the scene. The cottage was owned by Edward Mitchel, Evansville, Vandenburgh County Republican chairman. Stark was a former Evansville College student and was employed recently in a military surplus store in Evansville. Months Os Waiting Faced By Eichmann JERUSALEM (UPD — Adolf Eichmann, dressed in the red prison clothing of the condemned, today faced possible months* of waiting before Israel’s Supreme Court considers his appeal. His German defense attorney, Robert Servatius, said he expected a five-man panel of Supreme Court justices to hear the appeal either next spring-or summer. Eichmann, who was convicted and sentenced to hang for his part in the Nazi wartime extermination of six million Jews, was reported back at work on his memoirs in his cell at Ramie, between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Servatius said before leaving for West Germany that he will return to Israel before Jan. 1 to submit the formal grounds on which the appeal is based. The five-word notice—a simple “I appeal against the death sentence”—was filed over the weekend. }

Giants Tie In Final Game To Win East Title By NORMAN MILLER United Press International Call the New York Giants lucky or plucky', but they’ll play the Green Bay Packers for the National Football League championship Dec. 31 and that’s when they should prove whether they’re either —or both. The Giants didn’t exactly “back” into the Eastern Division title Sunday, but there are many who’d say they slipped in sideways when they played the Cleveland Browns -7 tie - That gave New York'’ a 10-3-1 final record, compared with 10-4 for the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles, whose game at Detroit started an hour earlier than the clash at New York, made a grand bid to throw the Eastern Division race into a tie by defeating the Lions, 27-24. But whether by good fortune or fortitude, the Giants managed to hang on for the tie which earned them the Eastern Division crown for the fourth time in the past six seasons. As a Yankee Stadium wag put it: It was the nicest Christmas tie any Giant ever got. Packer? Beat Rams The Packers closed out their season with an 11-3 record by beating the Los Angeles Rams, 24-17; the Washington Redskins scored their first triumph in 24 games by defeating the Dallas Cowboys, 34-24; the Chicago Bears won a wide-open 52-35 game from the Minnesota Vikings, and the St. Louis Cardinals drubbed the Pittsburgh Steelers, 20-0. (The Baltimore Colts beat the San Francisco Forty Niners, 27-24, Saturday.) ___ The Giants' triumph made a title-winner of 38-year-old Al Sherman in his first season as head coach. The last previous coach to win in his first year as boss was George Wilson of the Lions in 1957. When the subject of the Giant’ “luck” came up again after Sunday’s Browns game, Sherman snorted: “That’s a lot of baloney; those guys have all the guts in the world.” How It Went But consider what happened in this crucial game: —Sam Baker, the Browns’ punter who had averaged 44 yards per kick, booted a feeble 25yarder in the first period to set up the Giants first touchdown. —Lou Groza. of Cleveland, who has kicked more field goals .than any man alive, missed a “chippie' from the 17-yard line in the third period when his holder got a poor pass from center and couldn’t set the ball down properly. Groza also was short with a 48-yarder late in the game. —Ray Renfro, as sure-handed as any pass-catcher in the NFL, dropped a 40-or-so-yaird pass from Milt Plum on the New York 5yard line after he had outmaneuvered the Giants’ secondary defense in the final period. —And Don Chandler of the Giants, whose punts had been downed on the Cleveland 3-yard line twice during the first half, booted a 64-yard beauty that was downed on the Browns' 7 with less than 2 minutes to play. This one put the Browns in a tough spot for their final offensive threat. Sherman called it “the greatest punt I ever saw.”
