Johnson Planning For Farm Message

WASHINGTON (UPI) —President Johnson, who virtually ignored agriculture in his State of the Union address, plans to wrap a fat bundle of controversial proposals into a special farm message to Congress later this month. Senate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., told newsmen the message would include both farm commodity programs and new proposals for attacking rural poverty*. It was learned that Johnson already has instructed Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman to begin drafting the message. One portion of the ad ministr a- 1 tion’s program already has been laid before Congress. Freeman

told a House subcommittee Tuesday that the administration wanted quick passage of a new voluntary production control program for wheat to head off an expected S6OO million drop in farm income. In addition to this, however, there is a heavy; budget of new and unfinished farm business which the President is expected to include in his message. The major items include: —New cotton legislation. The administration wants a new subsidy program to cut domestic cotton market prices without reducing grower income. An additional plan to pay farmers for voluntarily reducing planting also may be proposed. —New dairy legislation. Free-

man the administration continues to favor a plan to offer payments to farmers who voluntarily cut production.

—New sugar legislation. Provisions of the Federal Sugar Act doling out quota shares in the U.S. market to a number

of individual foreign countries and also to a general "global quota" expire at the end of 1964 and must be renewed this year.

Expansion of the quota share for domestic growers also will be considered. —New anti-poverty provisions. These [flans are expected to include new types of loans and grants to help low-incomfl farmers earn more from agriculture or from -non-farm businesses in rural areas. —Food stamp legislation and the Food for Peace program. Johnson called in his address Wednesday for broader use of the food stamp program, now operating on a pilot plant basis in some 20 states to improve the diets of needy families. He also urged expansion of the use of American food to promote peace and economic development abroad. The Food 'for Peace spending authority expires at the end of 1964 and must be renewed this year. —Land-use conversion. Johnson may ask Congress to complete action on a 1963 request for expansion of a program under which farmers are paid to convert surplus-producing cropland to permanent use for other purposes.

MAN to MAN “Why should I enlist for 3 years when the draft only takes 2?” —Bob S. This is a question that every man facing a military obligation has to decide for himself. All I can do is offer you the reason a lot of men feel enlistment is worth the extra year. By enlisting in the Army, you get to Choose the job training you want. If you can qualify for it, then that training is guaranteed. That way you know you’ll get the training you need to get off to a head start on the career of your choice. It’s simply a matter of benefiting , yourself while you serve your country. Some of the men who wait to be drafted end up with the training they would have picked anyway. But there’s no way to be sure about it without enlisting. Enlistment gives you Choice, Not Chance. And as far as your future is concerned, that’s pretty important. So the extra year of training you get when you enlist is well worth the time—to .. you—and to your country. —Your Army Recruiter SFC Francis L. Funk U.S. Army Recruiter Room 305, Federal Bldg.
