Living On Promises World-wide communism is getting its lumps, particularly in the field of agriculture. They are rapidly finding out in various spots throughout the world, that communism does not create the atmosphere conducive to productive farming. . Russia is the number one example, mostly because it is the home of the system. Russia does not have enough food. In fact, about one-half of the food produced for sale in Russia is grown on the little plots of ground left over for the workers on the commune-type farms. Red China is also suffering from another shortage of food —a situation that is becoming the rule instead of the exception in the world’s most populous place. The Chinese communist leaders have installed the most thorough system of farm communes in the red world, and are continually faced with poor production. Recently, Cuba has entered the red sweepstakes for starvation. Never a generally rich nation, Cuba today is facd with food rationing and general shortages for the first time in its history. Even sugar is rationed in the center of the world’s sugar supply. East Germany is also in the running for poor nurtitional honors. Despite the crowings to the contrary, things behind the wall have become quite hungry. German farmers, in some instances the most industrious in the world, will not provide for the red collectivist system. 'The men at the helm of the various communist nations would profit from a look into history. Farmers, whether they were serfs of old or free land owners of today, have always been individualists. They have always operated best in a system that encourages competition and a market as free as possible. The farmer is by Mature an individualist, and too many violations of his individualism has always led to a revolution of some sort. There are some paradoxes in the communistic claims: First, they would feed the hungry of the world when they can not feed their own people. Second, they would see that they were fed, in many instances, by land reforms or distributions, particularly in Latin America. But, in the nations that subscribe to communism, land reform have not become a reality. The land has merely been transferred from a few wealthy people who are disinterested to a distant government that is disinterested as far as the individuals are concerned. If the communists would feed the world, or show the starving peoples of the world how to feed themselves, they should stop hurling the invectives of “decadent” at nations that produce an overabundance of food. It is much better to be well-fed in decadent capitalism than to be starving in enlightened communism. Editorial Writer Today John G. Heller

Logansport Strike Idles Over 1,000 LOGANSPORT Ind. (UPD■More than 1000 workers at a Logansport industrial plant walked off the job today in a strike blamed on a dispute over 25 cents an hour-pay for one woman employe. The walkout occurred at the RBM Controls Division of Essex Wire Co. It involved 1050 production workers. Lyle Daugherty regional representative for the Allied Industrial Workers Union said negotiations have been in progress for 40 days on a dispute over whether a woman who plates electronic switches with gold shall receive $1.75 or $2 an hour. Daughterly said the union has filed an unfair labor practice complaint against the company with the National Labor Relations Board. He said the company was informed if the woman’s pay were hiked to $2 an hour the complaint would be dropped. Daughterly said the company informed the union Friday it would discuss the issue no further and would eliminate the controversial plating job. Harry Bender personnel officer for the firm said the company considers the strike in violation of the contract because the union did not serve notice of its intentions.

Lenten Season Time Os Growing In Knowledge
Lenten Message By The Venerable Stanley Hamilton Atkins Archdeacon, Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee Written for UPI George Herbert, the English poet and mystical writer, used to talk of the “dear feast of Lent” His point is well taken. Lent is a time for growing. It is also a time for self-denial, for examination of conscience and for diligence in religious duties: But what is the purpose of all these things? Their purpose is to help us grow: To grow in self knowledge and to grow in knowledge of God. That is why Lent can be such a happy season: That is why Herbert thought it should be called <a “feast.” Anything that brings us nearer to our Lord must be a happy occasion. Then why don’t we have Lent all the year around? That is a good question! But it overlooks a simple fact of human psychology. We are a part of a universe which follows cycles of change. The seasons of the year follow one another, night follows day and the great stars and planets obey similar laws. Men and women need change. Furthermore, we need special seasons and o ccasions to impress special lessons upon our minds''and hearts. So Lent comes around once more to remind us that we must not keep our gaze fixed only on the plains, and the dusty road that we tread. We must lift our eyes to the hills. Lent teaches us to aspire to great things for God. and for our fellows and for ourselves. It is the yearly challenge to break the chain of habits that are mediocre, or worse, and to spend ourselves generously in the service of Christ. May this be a lent of victorious accomplishment for all of us!

Reds Vote On Single Slate Os Candidates MOSCOW (UPI)—An estimated 137 million voters Sunday cast ballots for a single slate of Com-munist-approved candidates for the parliament. Based on past performance, more than 99 per cent of the voters are expected to approve the hand-picked slate, including Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. Results probably will be announced Tuesday. Men and women 18 years old or over streamed to the polling booths all day Sunday under cloudy skies. ITie booths opened at 6 a.m. and closed at midnight. At stake were about 1,400 seats, divided roughly evenly between the two houses of the Supreme Soviet—the Soviet of the Union and the Soviet of the Nationalities. Khrushchev was a candidate in the Kalinin district. The candidates were selected by Communist-run organizations such as trade unions, collective farms, sports clubs, political clubs and cultural groups. While the candidates have no competition, they nevertheless campaign vigorously in the weeks preceding the election. The government and the Communist party always are anxious for maximum participation by Soviet citizens. Elections are considered a form of indoctrination and a concrete manifestation of solidarity with the government. Actually the Supreme Soviet does little more than rubberstamp the state budget and development plan at its one annual meeting. Membership is more a matter of honor than politics for the writers, milkmaids, factory workers, athletes, scientists and the like that make up the two bodies.
